Chen Zhen nodded: "I know this."

Mrs. Li glanced at the person who served in the room and said, "I have something to discuss with you."

When Mother Wang heard this, she winked at the person who served and took the lead and walked out. Chen Muqing also cleverly followed her and retreated out.

When she left the door, she saw the maids and wives standing far away in the hall, wondering whether she should stand farther away. Mother Wang had already ordered Chengxiang: "You accompany the girl to the east wing to rest. The wind is cold at night, be careful to freeze the girl."

Chengxiang responded and took Chen Muqing to the east wing, while Mama Wang stood under the eaves.

Before Chen Muqing could step into the door of the east wing, he heard a "clang" sound coming from behind him.

She turned around in shock and saw the big red Luo plywood curtain hanging at the door shaking, and Chen Zhen walked out with anger on his face.

Chen Muqing was stunned for a moment.

In her memory, Chen Zhen and Li never blushed. It was when Chen Zhen brought the person in after Li agreed. What happened today...

The people in Chaoxitang were also stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what happened, and the atmosphere suddenly became very frightened.

Mother Wang might have heard something. As soon as Chen Zhen came out, she chased Chen Zhen and shouted "Master", but Chen Zhen didn't even look at her and went straight out of the hall. Mother Wang stomped her feet and turned into the room when she looked at the empty hall.

Chen Muqing was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.

She trotted into the house all the way, and saw that Mother Wang was holding Li towards the parquet bed next to the window: "...Madam, you are in poor health, lie on the kang, Master, I'll go and take a look."

Li's expression was helpless, and shook his head, and his mother Wang helped him onto the kang.

Seeing that the room was empty and there was no one serving him, Chen Muqing went up to put the pillow behind Li.

When Li saw this, he smiled comfortingly at Chen Muqing, touched her head again, and said to Wang's mother sadly: "It's been more than ten years... I always think that it's brothers and sisters after all. Although the master doesn't say it, he should gradually let it go. Unexpectedly, he still remembers it..."

Chen Muqing was confused when he heard this.

But Mother Wang frowned: "You don't have to make the master feel unhappy about this!"

Li looked at Wang's mother angrily: "Aren't I afraid that he would say that I have a big needle hole? Who knows that he holds a grudge more than me."

"You can't blame the master." Wang's mother poured a cup of clear water for Li, "Recalling when the master was demoted, the second master was afraid of being implicated. The day before yesterday, he asked the elders of the clan to divide their ancestral property the next day. When the master asked for money, he forced you to pay the land for him at a low price." Speaking of old things, Wang's mother and Li's expressions were a little unnatural.

This was the first time Chen Muqing heard these things.

She stood quietly aside.

Mrs. Li took the water and took a sip.

Wang's mother's voice was a little choked: "Others say that men are heartbroken. But the second wife is a woman, but her heart is even more cruel than men... When Brother Yin was sick, she borrowed ten taels of silver from her to see a doctor, but she didn't lend it... Otherwise, Brother Yin would not have been able to go there at such a young age..." Wang's mother wiped her tears with a veil, "Now her family is in a mess, and the master is unwilling to stand up for her. After all, the master is still fighting for you. You go and persuade the master to take care of this matter. Not to mention the master, even if I am in my heart, I can't get over it..."

Li's eyes were also wet: "I don't know where. But over the years, the second master's family was uneasy. The elders in the clan said that the master did not take good care of the second master. As the saying goes, it is good, but people's words are terrifying. This time the second wife died, and the second master didn't even report a letter to us. Those who know, they said we don't know, they don't know, they say that we have no such villagers in our eyes, and they have forgotten their original nature... Alas, even if we hold grudges in the past, it's useless. It's better to pretend to be generous, forget it." As he said, Li's eyes fell on Chen Muqing, who was standing in front of the kang, "I have to plan for Muqing... She must have a family member. Although she doesn't expect Taicang to give her face, she can't offend everyone. Then gossip..."

Mother Wang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid the master doesn't think so..."

"Girl, the master loves you the most..." Li interrupted Wang's mother and said to Chen Muqing with a smile, "The wind is cold at night, and he is getting angry. I don't know where to hide. You take Luomei and Jinxiu to find him, don't let the master suffer from the cold."

Li was trying to help him get rid of himself and say things to Wang's mother... Moreover, although Chen Zhen is an important position and is old, he is indeed a bit like a child in front of Li, and he is so charming... There have been several times when he made him happy...

Chen Muqing responded with a smile and took Luo Mei and Jinxiu out to find someone.

She first went to Rongyin Hall where Dashe lived, but no one was there; then went to Gongyuan where Aunt Chen lived, but no one was there; she thought about it and turned to Jiusizhai, Mr. Shen’s bookstore in the outer courtyard.

*******

Jiusizhai is a house with only three rooms, surrounded by green bamboos. There are stone-green brocade curtains hanging on the door of the main hall, and black lacquered silver plaques hanging on the lintel, with the words "Jiusi" written in cursive script. Under the lintel are six screens of purple rafters, chicken wings, like ivory carvings and yellow lists, and a square table with ten thousand characters in front of the screen, and a Taishi chair with a red carpet pad on the left and right.

Looking east, the fallen flowers of plum, bamboo and orchid are covered with large red silk curtains, and a kang with nanmu boards is set up next to the window, and a row of black lacquered bookcases are placed against the wall, and books are placed densely packed. In the middle of the house is a six-legged lotus flower with a superimposed book case, a sweet white flower vase is placed on the superimposed table, and there are various colors of ***, and the four treasures of the study are neatly placed on the desk.

Looking west, the twelve black painted openwork gauze cabinets separated the main hall from Xici, and the inner fan of the year was closed.

The servant who served in Jiusizhai was named Chenxiang, who was only eight or nine years old, followed Shen Muqing: "Girl, the master hasn't come! Otherwise, wait!"

Jiu Sizhai is not here either, so where is it?

He ran around three places in one breath and walked around half of the garden of the Shen family. Chen Muqing was also a little tired.

She thought of the stool placed in the window-to-window room in the East Room... She felt her legs and feet were even more sore!

"Since Li is willing to avoid him, it's better to go back later!" Chen Muqing thought, and pushed open the green yarn cabinet in the east room: "I'll take a rest here!" As he said that, he entered the warm pavilion made of rosewood openwork, relaxed his body and sang in the drunkard chair in the corner of the wall and started to shake.

A pot of holly trees tall in the corner of the wall opposite are lush and green, green and cute, making people feel happy.

It's really a good place!

No wonder Chen Zhen likes to spend time here when he is free.

Chenxiang hurriedly took Jinxiu to make tea.

"But your legs are too short, otherwise, lying like this and rubbing your feet on the stool, I don't know how comfortable it is!" Chen Muqing sighed. Luo Mei heard it and covered her mouth and smiled: "Miss, wait a minute, I'll find a little slap to put the stool on it, it will still work."

"It's a good idea!" Chen Muqing waved his hand lazily, "Go and look for it."

Luo Mei searched around the house, but couldn't find a suitable height: "I'll go to the small yard next to me to take a look."

Xiao Kuan Hospital was all well-known managers of the Shen family, which was not complicated. Chen Muqing agreed, and Luo Mei left. When there was no one in the house, Chen Muqing regretted it again. Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Mei found a suitable stool and wanted to go back to Chaoxitang. The best way is to move the stool into his house, or ask the managers to buy one back...

She was thinking about it everywhere when she heard the sound of curtains coming from the main hall, as if someone had walked in.

The footsteps were very heavy, not like being alone... it was definitely not falling plum blossoms or agarwood.

Chen Muqing was thinking, and the visitor had already said in a deep voice: "Close the door, no one is allowed to come in."

She could clearly hear that it was Chen Zhen's voice.

I searched for a long time and finally found the person...

Chen Muqing sat up in surprise and wanted to say hello, but heard Chen Zhen speak again: "Who dares to get close to me, beat me to death." His always clear and gentle voice actually brought a few murderous intent.

As the servants answered in panic, the door creaked and closed.

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Chen Jin has always been amiable in front of her... This is the first time Chen Muqing has heard this tone of speaking.

A strange feeling arose in her heart.

In just a moment, a low and slightly lazy voice sounded in the room: "So it seems that things are as we expected?"

Chen Muqing has been listening to this unique voice for five years and is also very familiar with it.

That was Mr. Min's voice.

When did these two people meet? Listen to this tone, there is something unknown to discuss... No wonder they usually call each other brothers like a friend... Don't look at the inappropriate ones, don't listen to the inappropriate ones... Are you going out or not?

Chen Muqing hesitated and heard Chen Zhen say, "In order not to let the news leak, the Empress Dowager did not let the imperial doctor in the Imperial Hospital see the doctor into the palace..." As the voice of his speech gradually approached, Chen Muqing saw two blurred figures walking to the desk in the room through the gap between the inner fan of the warm pavilion, "Bieshan, let's sit down and talk..." As he said that, Mr. Min bowed to Chen Zhen, and the two sat down accordingly.

Everyone loves gossip, let alone involves the secrets of the royal family.

Just a few words, Chen Muqing was already very interested.

She listened quietly with breathing.
