Chu Mu put himself in a good posture, holding the scroll in his hand, but he didn't turn a single page, and only his mind was moving in his whole body.
He was actually a little surprised.
The fact that other people's target was not him but Lu Li was beyond his expectation.
He thought that Lu Li's crisis was behind him, and he was actively looking for the reason, but he didn't expect it to appear suddenly, and it was at his own plum feast...
The body is a shackle to him. In his previous life, he was lingering on the sick bed, always in a coma, rarely awake, and many things happened without knowing how and why. He originally thought that it would be good to die so naturally, it was in everyone's favor, and he could also be freed.
The illness is too painful, and the hopeless illness can't ignite any fighting spirit. He doesn't think that being alive is a good thing for him.
Just when he was about to fulfill his wish and die quietly, someone suddenly stepped in to save him and told him some things, which completely changed his mind.
It turns out that there are some things that he shouldn't have to bear.
In other people's chess game, it is just a doomed tragic result, not even a pawn, and the pity he doesn't even know who he is.
In addition to being angry, he knew that he might not be able to grasp his own destiny, and it was impossible to have a perfect ending, but it would be best not to reach the end, and it would be wrong to have fun. He dragged his sick body and maybe... a somewhat distorted mind, and jumped into the ending without hesitation. Helplessly, I have been suffering from illness for a long time. If there is no cure, there will be no cure. In the end, some things were done, and some things were not done. When I died, I was a ghost, but I still regret it.
It's really good to be alive.
Even if you linger on your last breath.
How much he didn't care before, how much he was free and easy, because he had to accept that if he could choose everything by himself, even if he was suffering from illness, he still wanted to live.
He was very lucky to meet Xie Tingyue before he died.
They were destined to be married as husband and wife, but they missed it. He seldom thought of this person, not because of the humiliation brought by him on the wedding day, he didn't care about those things at all. He has been sick for as long as he can remember, and has been taken care of by others. It is commonplace to show his body, and it doesn't make any sense to treat him with dignity.
He just felt that the scene was absurd. If Xie Tingyue made the decision after thinking about it on his own, then his vision was a little shallow and he saw too little. If he was tricked and used by others, he would be too stupid. Either way, they are not smart enough.
And his life is really limited, there is really no way to waste it, and it is more valuable to associate with smart and interesting people.
He was surprised when, after a long wait, he had the opportunity to meet and sit together. Xie Tingyue is obviously a wise, thoughtful and in-depth person. He has many fresh and interesting ideas about doing business. No, it’s not just about doing business. Xie Tingyue’s vision is very high. He even rose to the level of a country's subjects... Why did such a person have such an accident and fall so hard
But immediately, he was also relieved, thinking about himself, this question no longer exists. He claims to be smart, but he has spent half his life in a daze, living like a fool
Xie Tingyue has suffered so much, but she is still cheerful and optimistic, she doesn't care about many things, and she still looks forward to many things.
Chu Mu will always remember the moonlight that night, and the smile on this man's face. Xie Tingyue said that even if it becomes a lump of mud, don't forget to look up at the starry sky, don't forget, some beauty always exists.
Obviously, he is also dying from the poison, and he still cares about others.
Chu Mu didn't know how his heart moved, and he didn't notice it at the time. Later, when he recalled, he realized that many things have changed since that moment.
Rebirth is a very mysterious thing. When he woke up the day before his wedding, his first thought was to protect Xie Tingyue, and immediately sent Qin Ping out to inquire about the news, but Xie Tingyue was already moving, and everything was different from his previous life.
On the one hand, he was relieved, but on the other hand, he had other doubts, and by the way, he made other preparations to deal with it... In the medical hall, he heard the movement in the fabric shop next door, Xie Tingyue's cost theory, and he knew that he was back.
very good.
All is well and all is in time.
He will never let the tragedy of his previous life happen again.
The wind moved the shadow of the candle, Chu Mu came back to his senses, and the corners of his lips curled up.
Even though the day of the big wedding has passed for a long time, he still feels it vividly in his memory, as if it was just yesterday.
He has long forgotten what it is like to live like a year in a sick bed.
In the previous life, I spent too much time in the illness and fell asleep all the time. If I wanted to understand the outside world, I couldn’t understand it. The fighting spirit was suddenly launched later, and the turning point of many major events that I knew was also in the future. This caused a serious problem. For many things, he only knows the result, not the reason, and needs to be explored.
The same goes for Xie Tingyue, it was still too early for him to pass away in the previous life, so there must be more confusion.
Communication... is definitely necessary, but how much and to what extent must be paid attention to.
The word "rebirth" means a prophet, a treasure, and a shackle. Once it is spread, how many people will want it, and how many people will be wary... He certainly believes in Xie Tingyue's character, but he doesn't want to take the risk of losing Xie Tingyue even if it happens. He didn't want Xie Tingyue to feel bad for him, and he didn't want to renounce him...
Neither of them had time to get to know each other well.
It's okay to be slower.
One day, Xie Tingyue will be familiar with his existence and recognize his position, and they will not distinguish between each other and never give up. By then, all problems will no longer be a problem.
There are footsteps, very familiar.
Chu Mu subconsciously straightened the corners of his clothes, turned his head, and put on the most perfect smile: "Madam is back."
Shaking candlelight, red charcoal fire, warm house, people who greet you with smiles.
For a moment, Xie Tingyue was stunned, as if the tension, excitement, and human life outside had never happened.
How could this person be so... so chic and calm, as elegant as ever
Does everything have no effect on him
Chu Mu, what kind of person are you
Before I knew it, I thought this way in my heart, and asked it out of my mouth.
what kind of person…
Chu Mu put down the scroll in his hand and looked at him with a smile: "What kind of person do you like?"
Xie Tingyue almost followed the other party to think about it seriously, but Chu Mu said again: "I want to be the kind of person you like."
Xie Tingyue's scalp was numb, and goosebumps almost fell all over the floor.
But the other party looks at you with gentle eyes, there seems to be tides in the bottom of the eyes, as sincere as you want, as if you are confessing...
Maybe such words are very slippery when spoken by a dandy, but when they are spoken from Chu Mu's mouth, I really can't hate them.
Xie Tingyue sighed, and sat down at the table in resignation.
Chu Mu personally held the pot and poured him a cup of tea: "I wanted to show you a little bit more, but it didn't seem to be a good performance. Do you mind?"
Xie Tingyue's heart tightened when she heard this.
Show him some strength, didn't he perform well? How do you want to play? Pretending to be sick to scare people or killing people outright
Thinking about how Chu Mu made him feel in the dream, before the Chamber of Commerce Chu Mu was decisive in cutting off people's fingers, he didn't doubt some things at all, Chu Mu could really do it.
Many disgusting things happened outside today, such as Xie Ru and He Yuanqi. Toss to death...
It's like trying to do big things with high morale, but the result is a punch on the cotton, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Chu Mu shouldn't have been holding his breath and holding back his temper, right
Xie Tingyue observed Chu Mu carefully, and felt that there was a suppressed displeasure on the other's face.
His mind froze, he stopped drinking the tea, sat next to Chu Mu, and grabbed his arm: "Calm down, don't get excited!"
Chu Mu kept smiling: "Huh?"
Madame seems to have misunderstood something...
I don't know why, but—
Chu Mu lowered his eyes to look at the hand on his arm, very satisfied, adjusted his smile accordingly, and became slightly melancholy.
Xie Tingyue's face was solemn: "I know Lu Li is your best friend, but getting excited can't solve anything, it's not good to startle the snake, let's have a talk, shall we?"
"Okay." Chu Mu followed Xie Tingyue's hand, and moved a little closer to him. There was nowhere to put his slender fingers, so he simply played with a strand of hair from the other party.
Xie Tingyue didn't notice Chu Mu's movements at all, feeling that Chu Mu's mood was stable, she was relieved.
Very well, excitement does not help the condition, so it is better to use your brain to think more when you have that time.
"When I was seeing off the guests, I saw my second aunt. She was still nervous, and she was too frightened. It's not like a fake. She probably really doesn't know what He Yuanqi is doing." The bad news is here, your second aunt probably doesn't know about it, there is someone else behind He Yuanqi."
Chu Mu pondered for a moment, before opening his mouth: "Mr. Sun has been drugging me."
Xie Tingyue exploded instantly: "She drugged you? Why!"
Chu Mu is like this, does she still think people die slowly!
"That medicine won't kill you, it'll just make you fall asleep." Feeling that the wife was in a bad mood, Chu Mu patted Xie Tingyue's back, "It's okay."
Xie Tingyue chuckled: "She just doesn't want you to be well, and she doesn't want you to interfere in anything. Just shut up quietly, so that she can feel at ease in the palm of her hand."
After saying this, Xie Tingyue realized that Chu Mu knew about this matter, not only did she know, but she still didn't fall asleep, that is to say, Chu Mu responded with some tricks.
"You are fine now, what's Sun's reaction?"
Chu Mu just laughed: "She probably just lamented that the servants are useless, they just broke one's hand, and the new one hasn't been installed yet."
Xie Tingyue was very convinced.
It wasn't Chu Mu's IQ, but his smile. How did he manage to have a smile so perfect and elegant, yet full of irony at the same time
"Okay, I'll make a note of this matter, and I will be on guard." Xie Tingyue looked at Chu Mu, "But I don't think she will be interested in doing this in a short time, because she seems to mind He Yuanqi's death. .”
Chu Mu continued to smile elegantly and ironically: "Normally, if she knows a lot, she will be worried about revealing her secrets, but if she doesn't know much, she will even feel guilty, afraid that something will come to her."
Xie Tingyue said again: "He Yuanqi's death is indeed strange, the poison seems to be the same as the one in the teacup before, could it be that he wanted to kill Luli, and accidentally killed himself?"
Chu Mu: "Do you remember the herbs that He Yuanqi photographed at the Chamber of Commerce?"
Xie Tingyue thought for a while: "Lanyingcao?"
Chu Mu nodded: "That's right, this poison is Lanyingcao."
Xie Tingyue frowned, Lanyingcao is actually poisonous? Isn't it detoxifying
Chu Mu saw his question and explained it to him: "Lanyingcao has a detoxifying effect. It is non-toxic in itself and can be eaten raw. There is only one case where it will become highly poisonous—burned into ashes, and the ashes are poisonous."
Xie Tingyue: "But I remember that the plant of Lanyingcao is very rare and rarely circulated in the market. I'm afraid there are not many plants in our entire capital."
Chu Mu's voice was firm: "I've checked, and there has been no record of Lanyingcao circulation in the capital for many years. In the past ten years or so, there was only a trace of it last time when the Chamber of Commerce had it, and it was bought by He Yuanqi."
"But He Yuanqi bought Lan Yingcao to give to Qu Qi... No!" Speaking of this, Xie Tingyue knew something was wrong, "The grass was not delivered, and rumors spread from the Hejia store that it was lost." !"
Was it cut off by someone, or was it snatched away
What's the purpose of grabbing nothing but this blue grass
"No, this blue grass is not lost." Chu Mu shook his head, his eyes were deep, "I went to look for you that day, remember? I turned around from the outside, and I saw someone under He Yuanqi's hands Here, I took away the Lanyingcao."
Xie Tingyue understood immediately.
He Yuanqi acquiesced in this matter!
Otherwise, why did you lose the grass early and talk about it so late
"Who took this grass? What's the relationship with He Yuanqi?"
Chu Mu shook his head: "I don't know about this."
Xie Tingyue frowned, feeling very shocked.
Obviously useless, Lanyingcao, which looks like a tasteless one, why is it always there, and the time of appearance is so ambiguous? It is also highly poisonous, and blood can be seen to seal the throat when killing people.
Is the appearance of Lan Yingbu in the previous life a coincidence? still-
What kind of big pit did he step into
He didn't know exactly when Lan Ying Cloth started to rise, and when it was first made, but he knew that his family's cloth shop was taken by Lin's because of a big wedding accident, and later sold to He Yuanqi. Yingbu, also because of He Yuanqi's management, got out of hand.
No matter how you look at it, it's dangerous...
And Chu Mu, why are you so concerned about Lanyingcao? But what's the big deal
He thought so, so he asked.
Chu Mu paused, and explained: "Because of my illness, I am a little curious about various medicinal materials, especially rare and rare herbs. It was an accident to see Lanying Herb in the book, but the appearance of Lanying Herb several times in succession is too coincidental. , seems to have nothing to do with us... so I feel something is wrong."
"Yeah..." Xie Tingyue felt that something was wrong, "Why must it be Lanyingcao? What can't be used for poisoning? Why must it be it? And this Lanyingcao itself has detoxification effects. If someone needs it, does it mean that someone has been killed? Poison, need it to save lives? Who is poisoned?"
Chu Mu shook his head: "I don't know."
Xie Tingyue's mind seemed to be filled with a mess, and she couldn't figure it out: "Why did you harm Lu Li? Lu Li is an official, and has nothing to do with businessmen, so why did you harm him?"
Chu Mu still shook his head: "I don't know."
Xie Tingyue: "Then do you want to remind Lu Li? Maybe the source of all this is not personal enmity, but something else."
Such as officialdom strife, national interests...
Chu Mu nodded this time: "If you know the crisis, you can defend better. Today's timing is not right, I will talk to him as soon as possible."
"Um."
Xie Tingyue took a sip of water to moisten her throat.
It wasn't until this time that he realized that his hair... had been held in the palm of Chu Mu's palm and played with.
Seeing that soft black lingering obediently around Chu Mu's fingertips, as if he was being coquettish, he blushed and pulled it back: "It's business, be serious."
"Then..." Chu Mu lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, full of deep meaning, "When you're not talking about business, can you not be serious?"
Xie Tingyue: ...
"you you you-"
Feeling that she really has no talent in this area, and is not Chu Mu's opponent, Xie Tingyue is weak in parrying, and doesn't pay attention to her speech skills, so she just subconsciously said: "Don't be presumptuous!"
Chu Mu looked at him, paused for a moment, and then laughed.
His chest was pumping, and he was laughing out loud from the bottom of his heart, quite happily.
The laughter was clear and rich, and lasted for a long time, as if... He hadn't been so relaxed for a long, long time.
"What madam said." Chu Mu's eyes were bright, as if filling the entire star sea, "If I want to be presumptuous with madam next time - I must first ask madam for permission."
Xie Tingyue simply turned her head away from looking into Chu Mu's eyes.
It's so disgusting-
Why in front of this person, he always loses, always without any aura!
But he couldn't beat him or scold him, Chu Mu was a sick man, he couldn't stand it!
Chu Mu was also very considerate. Having appreciated Xie Tingyue's embarrassment enough, he returned to the topic: "So what we do next is very important."
He actually had an idea in his heart.
Xie Tingyue always had a tacit understanding with him. When she rolled her eyes, she thought of something: "He Yuanqi is obviously doing things for others. If he is willing to do this, he must have a deep cooperative relationship with the other party. The other party can bring him special benefits. And if He Yuanqi dies, the He family shop will be without a leader, and there will be chaos for a while, you say - so much money? Will anyone not be tempted?"
Chu Mu's eyebrows were deep: "Everyone in the world of mortals... If I were him, I would definitely take action to win them over. But the relationship between the two of them is in secret, and if I intervene in taking over the offer, it will definitely be done in secret, and I don't want people to know about it."
Xie Tingyue had crooked eyebrows and smiled like a cunning little fox: "If——I also intervene to snatch it, what if he is forced to come out?"
Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish to take the bait, as long as the other party has the slightest greed for money, he can catch him out!
And in this world, there will be people who are truly not greedy for money, even if it is right in front of your eyes, it seems very easy
What Lanyingcao and Long Qingfu, as long as the people behind come out and compare them, they will know the truth.
"Isn't it just a business war? I will too!"
