Xie Tingyue was more nervous than Chu Mu, because he was worried about one more problem than Chu Mu - losing his horse.
Most people would not believe such a thing as rebirth, but if they believed it... they would be afraid. He did enter the Chu family with a purpose, but Chu Mu was really a nice person, and he didn't want to lose this friend because of this dishonesty.
It’s not impossible to do it alone, but the amount of information is too little and the difficulty is too great. Chu Mu is still very smart. Smart people will think more, actively control the field, and save a lot of trouble. But when the timing is not right and the information is not equal, Adverse effects may also occur.
Xie Tingyue struggled for a while, but decided to go to Chu Mu.
Some words are hard to say... some reminders are okay.
Always let today pass safely!
Xie Tingyue was holding the hem of her robe, and walked in a hurry, she almost bumped into someone at the corner of the verandah, and at a glance, it turned out to be Chu Mu!
"What a coincidence, I was looking for you!" He immediately grabbed Chu Mu's hand.
Because he was too eager, he ignored many questions, such as - why did Chu Mu appear here by such a coincidence, and he was still alone.
Chu Mu's eyes drooped slightly, and he clenched Xie Tingyue's hand. While smiling, he tilted his eyes slightly to the side: "Don't worry, what's wrong?"
The long follower Qin Ping touched his nose and left with a very knowing look, leaving room for the two of them.
Xie Tingyue took a deep breath: "I guess...it doesn't feel right, something bad is about to happen..."
He was anxious in his heart, he made a decision too quickly, he hadn't organized his words yet, he didn't know how to say this, he was so worried, his palms were sweating, and it was cold.
Distress flashed across Chu Mu's eyes, and he guided softly, "What did you see?"
Xie Tingyue: "Someone... entered your study, I suspect that he wants to harm you!"
Chu Mu smiled: "He wants to kill me."
Xie Tingyue's pupils shrank suddenly.
Chu Mu's words are wrong! The tone was too determined, too calm, as if everything... had been known for a long time
And get ready and wait for it to come.
"Recently, my study room often shows signs of being passive. Although the other party tries to restore it as much as possible, it seems that there is no difference, but I know my things best."
Chu Mu looked at Xie Tingyue, his eyes stretched, a smile that didn't look like a smile, it couldn't be because he wanted to laugh - he was comforting him.
Xie Tingyue suddenly became quiet.
Chu Mu knew... He knew it a long time ago, and he can still be so calm, so what is he afraid of
Chu Mu guessed that there would be an accident today, did he prepare for it? Appearing here suddenly—Xie Tingyue looked around and observed the surrounding environment belatedly, and came to a conclusion after knowing, could it be that he came to find him on purpose
If so, then the other party must have more information than yourself.
Xie Tingyue tilted her eyes slightly, and asked tentatively, "What else?"
"Also, this kind of situation happens regularly, every once in a while." Chu Mu seemed very satisfied, and encouraged him to shake his hand vigorously, "And at this delicate time, there will always be a meeting with the Hejia store." The delivery days coincide."
So Chu Mu knew that He Yuanqi was wrong.
While scolding He Yuanqi secretly, Xie Tingyue felt sorry for Chu Mu, what kind of bad luck is this? Sickness and suffering never stop, there are always annoying people messing about.
He Yuanqi came for Chu Mu. In his previous life... an accident happened and Chu Mu escaped
He didn't know what kind of accident it was. If the accident in this life changed because of him and never happened again, would Chu Mu be unable to avoid it
On the day of the chamber of commerce, he severely offended He Yuanqi, and he wondered if the other party's tricks would become more sinister because of this.
Xie Tingyue frowned fiercely, her thoughts kept churning.
"Don't be afraid," Chu Mu squeezed Xie Tingyue's hand and smiled, "I chopped off his fingers that day at the chamber of commerce, not for public revenge, but simply because he bullied you."
Xie Tingyue was stunned, who cares about this! What are you thinking at this critical moment!
Chu Mu lightly said: "Don't feel guilty about it, this source of danger has nothing to do with you, and treating him is not a big deal."
Xie Tingyue's heart softened.
This person... really is. The one who is in danger now is obviously Chu Mu, why should he miss him? Is his mood more important than his life and death
"Ma'am, don't be afraid," Chu Mu held Xie Tingyue's hand to his lips, and kissed it lightly, "I won't let anyone hurt you."
The wind was light and the snow was quiet, and the plum blossoms by the corridor blushed shyly.
Qin Ping silently covered his eyes in the distance.
It turned out that the master sent him away to take advantage of himself? He is a caring and long-term follower capable of literary and military skills, and his role is to guard against the wind
Can this be treated so casually after a long time!
Xie Tingyue's face flushed red.
He felt that his performance was terribly inferior. He was obviously a reborn person. Why was he so anxious and irritable? Why was he not as good as Chu Mu, who was lingering on the sick bed and not very old
He withdrew his hand, forcing himself to concentrate and think about what was in front of him.
No matter what the reason was for He Yuanqi to kill Chu Mu, it was not easy to operate. The foreigner who can't easily enter Chu's house, the shop owner, how can he get close to Chu Mu, and what method will he use to harm him
He frowned slightly: "I'm afraid we and He's store are not simply buying goods?"
Whose delivery owner will come in person
Chu Mu looked at the empty palm, feeling a little disappointed: "In the business of the He family, the second aunt took a share."
Xie Tingyue instantly thought of a direction: "So you suspect—"
Is the Sun family standing behind He Yuanqi? The one who killed Chu Mu was also the Sun family
Chu Mu shook his head.
Needless to say, Xie Tingyue's mind also turned around: "No, if she wants to harm you, she doesn't need to borrow the hands of outsiders. The possibility of being exposed is even greater."
If he was the Sun family, he really couldn't stand Chu Mu anymore, and he could think of countless tricks. Anyway, Chu Mu's poor health is well known, so as long as no obvious evidence is left, everyone will not pursue her.
"But He Yuanqi has no grievances or enmities with you—no, have you offended him?"
Chu Mu was right. It was definitely not because of the severed finger punishment at the chamber of commerce. He had never participated in the chamber of commerce in his previous life, nor had he heard that Chu Mu had been there. Being turned over also happens between chambers of commerce.
Chu Mu shook his head: "I have never had any enmity with anyone."
"No matter how you look at it, an outsider can't do anything. He Yuanqi must have a helper," Xie Tingyue narrowed his eyes. "Or, he himself is someone else's helper, and someone is hiding behind?"
A cold light flashed across Chu Mu's eyes: "If he can unite with my second aunt Sun, he can unite with other people."
"So the murderous intention may not come from him, but from the people behind it!"
Xie Tingyue looked solemn, and her eyes were about to fly out: "At present, it can only be in these two directions. First, Sun and He Yuanqi have a private deal. It is good for Sun to kill you. If no one knows about this deal, she You can stay out of the matter and get rid of the blame smoothly, or if the situation is right, no one is too entangled in your life and death, she doesn't need to throw the blame at all; She was also used by others, because she has a small mind and is easy to control!"
Xie Tingyue hoped that it was the first type. If the person behind it was the Sun family, and the grievances were all in her own home, it would be easy to resolve. If it was the second type... it would be troublesome.
You don't even know who your enemy is. If the other party is in the dark and you are in the open, it is not good for you.
Chu Mu's eyebrows drooped slightly, agreeing with Xie Tingyue's words, he was also thinking about it.
There is one thing Xie Tingyue doesn't know - Lanyingcao.
On the day of the chamber of commerce, He Yuanqi took pictures of Lanyingcao. Everyone thought he wanted to package it and give it to Qu Qi, but soon after the meeting, He Yuanqi made a big fuss, saying that Lanyingcao had been stolen.
There were so many people that day, if you couldn't keep an eye on it with a wrong eye, you might lose your things, but Chu Mu knew that was not the case. When He Yuanqi took pictures of Lanyingcao, there was someone in the back alley ready to take over, and this person was so good at lightness that Qin Ping didn't catch up.
What kind of role does Lanyingcao play
Xie Tingyue's eyes moved slightly: "Do you want to lure the snake out of the hole and create opportunities?"
Chu Mu looked at him and smiled, "It's exactly what I want."
The two seem to have a tacit understanding. They often have the same views on some questions and answers, and their thoughts and words are exactly the same as each other.
Xie Tingyue's fingertips numb.
Even though his hand had been withdrawn and Chu Mu was not holding it, he still had a numb feeling. Is this the legendary tacit understanding
The other party knows what you think, and the direction of the other party's thinking happens to be the same as yours.
He understands me.
I also know him.
Xie Tingyue suddenly wanted to take a good look at Chu Mu, how could such a person exist in the world
But at this moment, there seemed to be some special emotion slowly flowing in the air, which made people very embarrassed. He... was not thick-skinned enough, and subconsciously turned his head to the side.
My heart beats a little faster.
As for mutual suspicion...
Chu Mu didn't need this, while Xie Tingyue had been trying to find a way to get rid of herself, always pay attention not to expose her words and deeds, and didn't think in this direction at all.
All the conversations and the amount of information are the result of Chu Mu's cleverness. How could it be the prophet of rebirth
"so-"
"Do you want to pretend to be ill?"
The two spoke in unison.
Pretending to be sick is the most convenient way, and Chu Mu has been sick for a long time, and can get sick at any time, so others can't tell the difference.
But when it came to this idea, Xie Tingyue remained silent.
He knew that Chu Mu was strong and tenacious, with unique powers, but every time he saw Chu Mu lying on the bed, he still couldn't help worrying, feeling that the other party was fragile and distressed, and needed to be taken care of.
"How about... Forget it, think of another way." He even stretched out his hand and touched Chu Mu's forehead.
Chu Mushu felt uncomfortable, and his body temperature was the most intuitive. He was used to this movement, but fortunately, it was okay, this time it felt normal.
Chu Mu held his hand, and gently pressed it to his cheek: "Madam..."
Every time Xie Tingyue took the initiative to approach and behave intimately, he was very satisfied, but not so satisfied.
What is satisfying is the approach of the other party, what is not satisfied is that there are only so many.
He is not wanting nothing like all patients, he is greedy.
He wants a lot.
"You make me want to hug you so much."
…
How to lure the snake out of the hole to give the opponent a chance
It must not be in a place that is too lively, others will have no chance to attack, and it must not be too remote and uninhabited, otherwise the other party will hesitate. If the attack fails, the murderer himself has too obvious a goal to escape, and he will definitely be found.
Appropriately quiet is perfect.
Xie Tingyue disagreed with Chu Mu's pretending to be sick, so Chu Mu could only pretend to be weak. The husband and wife walked to a quiet warm pavilion with a wide view, and there was a lively party scene just outside the window, so it was suitable for both.
Chu Mu ordered some things again, and dismissed Qin Ping.
This time he won't let Qin Ping die in vain again, and Qin Ping's observation in the dark is much better than standing by his side to wait, maybe he can find something that he didn't notice.
Xie Tingyue took care of Chu Mu, who was sick and weak, and understood how to put clothes in his hands and feed water to the stove, so he acted well.
Because of acting, it's not easy to observe around casually, so I can only ask Chu Mu, "Are you here?"
"No," Chu Mu shook his head, "The letter said that he just came out of our yard, and it will take time to get here."
After a while, Xie Tingyue asked again: "Are you here?"
Chu Mu: "Madam, be patient."
Xie Tingyue expressed that Madam's patience would not last long, and asked again: "Haven't you come yet?"
Chu Mu held his hand: "Nervous?"
Xie Tingyue: "No, no, I'm not nervous."
Chu Mu: "Then don't look at that teacup, look at me, okay?"
Xie Tingyue raised her head suddenly.
Chu Mu smiled brightly, "I'm not prettier than a cup?"
Xie Tingyue: ...
He stroked his forehead silently.
What is more beautiful than a cup
But because of Chu Mu's joke, he relaxed a lot, and he gave Chu Mu a look: "Be serious, accidents will happen if you don't concentrate."
Chu Mu: "Then what if it fails?"
Xie Tingyue was stunned, the only way to fail was - "We will die together."
Since others came prepared, and I didn't have enough skills to avoid it, there was only one dead end. He has walked this road, he is not afraid, nor does he feel that it is a pity, at most he did not kill Mrs Lin, and... cares about his younger brother.
Chu Mu's slender fingers paused, and Xie Tingyue's figure was reflected in his eyes. The tide was thick and dark, as if a dangerous hurricane was being rolled up.
Such words have been said... How can he resist
Sorry, you didn't have time to escape.
Chu Mu's long and slender palms changed direction and held Xie Tingyue's hand.
Xie Tingyue felt very distressed when she thought of her younger brother, she turned her head cautiously, and asked Chu Mu: "If... I mean if, if we really have an accident, can you promise me one thing and send someone to take care of my younger brother?"
Chu Mu: ...
The moment clearly belonged to only two people, but there was an extra name.
Although I know that the other party is very affectionate and has a good relationship with my brother, can I not hurt my heart at this time
Chu Mu prided himself on being a good husband, and his wife had to keep smiling and forgive her if she didn't understand the style: "Of course, Xing'er is also my younger brother."
Xie Tingyue clearly noticed the perfunctory in the words: "You are being polite."
He wasn't angry, he understood.
Just like in a newly formed family, the mother-in-law said that she treats her daughter-in-law as her own daughter. How is this possible? The mother-in-law didn't watch her daughter-in-law grow up, raise her, take care of her, worry about her and even get angry with her, without any emotional basis, how could she be like her own daughter
In the same way, the same is true for the daughter-in-law. It is impossible to treat the mother-in-law as her own mother.
It would be great if everyone can reason and be willing to communicate seriously about everything.
The same goes for him and Chu Mu. He doesn't expect Chu Mu to like Xie Tingxing like his own brother. After all, he knows best what kind of Xiong Dexing his brother is. As long as Chu Mu is willing to accept, willing to help, and willing to communicate, it's fine.
Chu Mu knew that his wife was too smart and transparent to be deceived.
"Okay." He spread his hands, looked at Xie Tingyue seriously, and said the most sincere reason, "I just don't want you to be sad. I will try to avoid anything that will make you sad."
Xie Tingyue paused.
There seemed to be stars shining in Chu Mu's eyes: "People always need to get along with each other. I can't immediately like Xie Tingxing, a younger brother, but he is very special. I believe that as time goes by, we will definitely have a good friendship. But no matter how long it takes, he They are all your younger brothers, this fact cannot be changed, if you feel sad for him, I will not bear it."
"Everything I do is for you, and you are my original intention."
Unscrupulous people are terrible when they are sincere...
At this moment, even though Chu Mu was holding her hand and rubbing it gently, Xie Tingyue didn't think that the other party was playing hooligans to tease him.
Not knowing what to say, he lowered his head and blushed.
Chu Mu raised his eyes slightly, and smiled like a big lazy cat.
His wife is really beautiful no matter how you look at it!
Just as I was about to seize the time to warm up, the bad atmosphere came.
Lu Li came striding from afar, and stretched out a paw to say hello: "Hey, dear friend, here is Madam—"
Chu Mu smiled deeply, and his tone was very gentle: "Why are you here, are you passing by?"
"No, no," Lu Li was very shameless, leaning lazily on the porch pillar, "I just happened to be tired from walking, so I'll be disgusted if I come here."
Chu Mu: ...
Lu Li: "Isn't there someone in the story book who is responsible for annoying people, who come out in special scenes to make troubles and promote the relationship between the young couple? You are so arrogant and cold, and your character is not good. Probably no one is willing to help. Brother, I have no choice but to recommend myself." —”
"And Xie Er is cute and funny, I want to chat with him."
Chu Mu stopped even laughing: "He's not free, get out."
Xie Tingyue: ...
He patted Chu Mu's shoulder with the hand he quickly retracted just now: "Don't talk like that, Lu Li is a very nice person." He pointed to the cushion beside Chu Mu, and turned to invite Lu Li, "Come and sit, let's chat for a while. "
Chu Mu's eyes became colder, and the tide turned into a storm.
Lu Li was shocked by this look, and waved his hands: "Actually, I really don't have time, I'm just passing by, there is someone waiting for me ahead, Xie Er, you are busy first, I will come to chat with you later—"
He left while talking, that fast... Let's put it this way, the rabbit is his grandson.
Xie Tingyue: ...
Chu Mu: "Don't pay attention to him, he is cheap, and he won't be happy if he doesn't flirt and be scolded."
There are maids in the warm pavilion.
Although he has been pretending to be a wallflower, standing far away as if he didn't exist, even the master ignored it, but when someone comes over, it's impolite not to serve tea, Lu Li stopped there just now, the maid quickly made tea, Let it go.
Lu Li didn't sit down, but turned around and left. The tea was placed by the table. The servant girl was worried about disturbing the master's love, so she didn't clean it up immediately.
Xie Tingyue finished his cup of tea and didn't ask anyone to refill it. Probably because of nervousness, he was suddenly very thirsty, but it took time to get the maid to make it again, and there happened to be an undrinked cup next to it, and the temperature was just right—
Chu Mu understood, picked it up with his own hand, and handed it to him with a smile: "Madam, please—"
Weird...and funny!
Xie Tingyue glared at him, took the tea and put it to her lips—
Chu Mu looked at Xie Tingyue, he was smiling nicely one moment ago, but a dark light flashed in his eyes the next moment, and his face suddenly changed.
Not only did he change his face, he also suddenly and quickly reached out and grabbed the cup of tea!
Xie Tingyue didn't know why, what Chu Mu was doing, he was very thirsty, and the tea hadn't even touched his lips yet!
Chu Mu was suddenly covered in cold sweat, he couldn't laugh anymore, he couldn't calm down anymore, and even his hands were shaking: "The tea... have you had it yet?"
