Send troops to Dongmo
Although Lu Chuxia is not good at everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is a wealthy family after all. She likes to hang out with her servants since she was a child, so she is very clear about the difference here. If it weren't for decades of habit, she would definitely not have been able to develop such an elegant manner as this ugly monster.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little more curious about the ugly man in front of her. She soon discovered that although he seemed to love to laugh and seemed to be an optimistic and cheerful person, when he was not smiling or silent, he could always find that there was a hint of vague sadness and silence in his eyes.
After Mu Qingwan finished her meal, she touched her round belly and smiled happily:
"Now I'm full of wine and food, take me to see your grandmother."
Lu Chuxia woke up from his thoughts, said "um" casually, grabbed the whip on the table and walked out.
The two left the side hall, and two soft chairs had already been prepared outside the hall. Lu Chuxia took the lead in sitting up, Mu Qingwan shook her head and said:
"I just had to eat so much that I couldn't take two steps. You can sit down and send a maid to take me there."
When Lu Chuxia heard her say this, she also walked down, "Then I'll walk over with you."
The two of them walked for about a stick of incense. Mu Qingwan seemed to be walking leisurely along the way. Lu Chuxia next to her looked like she was like this, but at first she looked bad, but later she saw Mu Qingwan looking at this and that with a look of enjoyment, and she admired her from time to time when she saw the exquisite part. She couldn't help but suspiciously imitating her to watch slowly.
Although she has lived here for more than ten years, she has never paid attention to the scenery of these gardens. In addition, she is like a rabbit, so she goes to dance with swords and guns whenever she has free time. She has no chance to be with these elegant and elegant facts of love and beauty.
I entered a garden. The garden was named Zhuxin Garden, which was planted with green bamboos. It was very cool and comfortable when I walked inside. When the breeze blew, the bamboo leaves rustled, which made me feel a different flavor.
Mu Qingwan picked a bamboo leaf and wiped it off and placed it on her lips. A beautiful melody slowly came out.
After finishing the blow, I found that Lu Chuxia was looking at him in surprise and asked repeatedly: "This song is so good, what is it called?"
"Liang Zhu." She replied casually, then threw away the bamboo leaves and continued to walk forward, leaving Lu Chuxia staring at her back in a daze.
After Mu Qingwan walked a few steps, she saw a bamboo house appearing in front of her. A maid came out of the door, holding a bowl of medicine residue in her hand. Seeing Lu Chuxia standing outside the door, she hurriedly leaned over and bowed.
"Has the old lady better after drinking these medicines?"
"When I go back to the fourth lady, the old lady's medicine is taken on time and dosage every time, but it has no effect. She still has chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and a poor appetite. Some tonics were prescribed in the pharmacy a few days ago, but the old lady did not improve after taking it."
Mu Qingwan stretched out her finger and dipped it in some medicine and smelled it, and said:
"How long has your old lady been like this?"
"For more than ten years, I don't know how many doctors I saw or how much medicine I took during this period." The maid said with a gloomy face.
"My grandmother has always known how to take care of her. In the past, even if there was no problem, she would take some medicine to regulate her body. In the winter and summer solstice, we never forgot to nourish her. Logically speaking, her body should be extremely healthy... Did you think my grandmother was poisoned like Kun'er?"
Instead of answering, Mu Qingwan pushed open the bamboo door and entered the room. An old woman with thin bones and gray hair was lying on the bed.
She reached out for a while and then asked Lu Chuxia to take all the prescriptions prescribed by the doctors she had seen before, and looked at them carefully one by one. It was not until the lights were held that she barely took a few bites of rice. Then she took the mountain of prescriptions and started reading.
There are some instructions below some prescriptions. Lu Chuxia told her that this was the evaluation of the old lady when she was in good spirits. It is said that Mrs. Lu is also a person who is familiar with the techniques of the novel yellow.
Mu Qingwan smiled but said nothing, and asked Mrs. Lu about her dietary hobbies.
Lu Chuxia answered one by one, but she felt a great desire to explore the man in front of her. She didn't expect that such a man who looked extremely down and ugly and dirty was so familiar and harmonious when he looked through books and reviewing papers, as if he was born to do such elegant things.
It was not until midnight that Mu Qingwan finished reading all the prescriptions. She stretched and yawned very unhappyly before saying:
"Your grandmother's disease is an old disease. I can't guarantee that it can be cured, but if you want me to treat her, you must first agree to three conditions."
"Those three conditions?"
"First, I want to move into Zhuxin Garden to live with your grandmother. No one except me will be allowed to enter Zhuxin Garden..."
"What did you say?" Before she could finish her words, Lu Chuxia immediately interrupted her with a dumbfounded look, "Not whether men and women can teach or not, my grandmother has always been used to being served by others. How can I feel at ease to hand her over to you, an ugly man?"
Mu Qingwan was not angry, but just smiled faintly and bowed to her, "Then I'm sorry I can't help."
After she said that, she got up and was about to leave. Lu Chuxia quickly stopped her and gritted her teeth and said, "Why should I believe you, an ugly monster?"
Mu Qingwan seemed to hear something big joke, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. Lu Chuxia couldn't help but be dazed. Her smile looked a little free and lazy, and she also had a little indifferent. She smiled:
"Actually, you don't have to believe me."
Lu Chuxia was stunned for a long time before saying, "One month!"
Seeing Mu Qingwan showing surprise, she pouted unwillingly and said:
"A month later, my parents and brothers will all be back, and I will not be able to make decisions at that time..."
"Okay, one month is one month." Mu Qingwan smiled and said:
"I have a second condition. If I cure your grandmother, I will leave immediately. Remember to give me a hundred taels of silver. In addition, you are not allowed to mention me to anyone, nor are you allowed to come to me."
Lu Chuxia heard this and sneered disdainfully: "There is really a day when I wish you would disappear sooner, it was smelly, ugly and dirty."
"Trade!" Mu Qingwan smiled slightly, as if she didn't hear her sarcastic words at all.
But in less than a day, Lu Chuxia almost broke the contract because of Mu Qingwan's actions. She neither asked for some rare medicinal materials nor asked for some special utensils. Instead, she asked for a large basket of top tribute oranges in Dongting, Jiujiang, and a lot of books, as well as pens, ink, paper and ink.
The servants she sent to secretly monitor came back and reported that the ugly monster would lie in the yard every day, eating oranges while reading books, and put a small bamboo basket on it, throwing the orange peels into it, and throwing the books they had read on the ground.
About ten days later, the servant came to report that Qiu Xin finally asked for herbs, but she only had a spiced licorice, saying that he had been lying in the yard for the past two days and had some coldness and a little cough. He wanted to boil some licorice water to moisten his lungs.
Lu Chuxia suddenly felt that her patience had reached its peak. She thrust the whip in her hand to the ground, and a sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded. In the blink of an eye, she ran towards Zhuxin Garden angrily.
But as she walked, her steps slowly slowed down. She personally promised the ugly monster, but she regretted it after only ten days. She seemed to be a little embarrassed and couldn't help but regret and hate it in her heart.
She frowned and thought about it, and finally decided to climb up the wall and see what happened by herself.
At this moment, Mu Qingwan was indeed sitting on a rattan chair in the yard. It was already late, and she did not go back to the room, but hugged her knees and hugged her head deep between her knees. In some way, Lu Chuxia's originally full of anger disappeared without a trace.
She stood for a while and suddenly heard a few intermittent sobs. She listened carefully for a while before she realized that Mu Qingwan was crying in depression.
When the servant saw Lu Chuxia coming back with a look of resentment, he hurriedly went up to ask what to do with the ugly monster. Lu Chuxia sat dejectedly on the chair and said softly after a long time:
"No need to monitor it anymore."
After saying that, he grabbed the whip and left, leaving a room of servants looking at each other in front of him.

Qinzheng Hall
"Brother, are you really going to do this?"
Showa, standing under the jade steps, looked solemn.
Xiahou Lie looked down at the little jade rabbit placed on the table and smiled gently:
"It's time to pick her up home."
"But... sending troops to Dongmo is not a trivial matter. Although Dongmo is indeed slightly inferior to our Beiyan, don't forget that there is another factor that has not yet been determined - the Lu family."
He paused and then continued:
"Most of the Lu family's industries are in Dongmo. If you want to start a war, it will undoubtedly be extremely unfavorable to them. Although they are neutral now, no one dares to guarantee that they will always remain neutral when they touch on their interests. What's more, they had already hated our Xiahou people because of the affairs of Concubine Yu back then."
"But don't forget, how did Aunt Yue die in Dongmo? If it weren't for this, Helian Mo Xiao wouldn't have hated me so much now. But..."
A cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "I think his current situation should not be much better. If possible, I would like to let go of all grudges and cooperate with him. After all, we are going to deal with the same person!"
"According to the spy, Helian Moxiao has been suppressed by Prince Rui recently, and Helian Hengzhi also began to suppress him as if he was crazy. Now he is disheartened and is ready to bring his family back to his fiefdom."
"Go back to the fiefdom in dismay?" Xiahou Lie sneered, "I'm afraid it's just a trick. Don't forget that you have to pass through the Lu family when you go to his own fiefdom."
"You mean...will he go to the Lu family for help?"
