"Don't you object to me doing this?" This time it was Lu Chuxia who was surprised.

Mu Qingwan smiled slightly, "What I said just now was just as a friend to remind you of the difficulties and obstacles you have to face to persist in this relationship. But now that you have made a decision, I can only wish you the best. You are as good as you.

A girl deserves to be treated sincerely throughout her life."

"Lu Qi, you are so kind!" Lu Chuxia smiled broadly, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly pulled Mu Qingwan's sleeve and said, "Then can you help me?"

Mu Qingwan was stunned, "How can I help you?"

Lu Chuxia looked at the sky and pulled her up, "Follow me."

Mu Qingwan had no choice but to get up and follow her. The two of them walked until they reached a dense bamboo. From a distance, they heard the sound of a familiar flute blowing in the wind.

She stopped in shock, and her expression suddenly changed.

That piece of music was clearly "Swordsman", and she only played it to Showa.

"Lu Qi, come here again." Seeing her stop, Lu Chuxia pulled her again in the darkness, under the moonlight, and kept her voice low, for fear of alarming the flute player not far away.

Mu Qingwan let her lead him blankly, and then the two of them stopped in front of a rockery. Lu Chuxia took her and hid behind the rockery, pointing to a high rockery not far away where a flute player was sitting.

The figure whispered:

"Ever since Brother Che came to Lu Mansion, he would play this tune here at this time every night and drink alcohol after he finished playing. Several times I deliberately ran over and asked him to teach me, but he refused to pay attention to me. Let me see you go up

I was able to play such a beautiful tune with just a bamboo leaf for the first time in Zhuxinyuan. I must be very proficient in music, so I would like to invite you to come over and listen to it, and then teach me, okay?"

Mu Qingwan was stunned. She didn't expect Zhaohe to be so affectionate towards her. She suddenly didn't dare to face Lu Chuxia. If she knew that Zhaohe liked her, he might have rejected her because of her.

So, how will Lu Chuxia view her? Will he trust her as a friend and talk to her with all his heart?

Seeing that she was just in a daze, Lu Chuxia hurriedly pushed her, "Lu Qi? Why are you in a daze? Do you remember it well?"

Mu Qingwan came back to her senses and smiled stiffly at her, "Remember... I'm familiar with it."

Lu Chuxia felt relieved, and her big, bright eyes quickly turned to Zhaohe, the admiration in her eyes clearly revealed.

They waited until Showa blew it twice before leaving.

The two of them walked to a quiet place, and Lu Chuxia said excitedly:

"Lu Qi, can you teach me now?"

Seeing the eagerness and excitement on her face, Mu Qingwan sighed quietly in her heart and said softly:

"Miss Lu, since the Sixth Prince refuses to teach you this song, he must have his reasons. If you play this song to him, he may not be happy. If you just want to express your love for him, I

There is another song here, and the effect is definitely better than this one."

Lu Chuxia suddenly became happy, "Then teach me quickly. Teach me quickly."

Mu Qingwan smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Do you want to learn to play for the Sixth Prince immediately?"

Lu Chuxia immediately blushed, pursed her lips and said:

"That's not true. Brother Che's birthday will be in twenty days. I want to prepare a special gift for him on that day."

Mu Qingwan was stunned and then realized that it was Zhaohe's birthday again in the blink of an eye. Memories came flooding back. She still remembered that the last time he celebrated his birthday, she was still in Beiyan Palace, in her grandma's Yishouyuan and her grandma.

Xia Houlie spent his birthday with him.

At that time, the relationship between her and Xia Houlie was on the same level, but a year passed in the blink of an eye.

During this year, their moods have also undergone tremendous changes. Time can indeed change everything.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in her mind, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked:

"You haven't answered me yet, where is your guest in black?"

If it's Showa's birthday, maybe you can meet Xia Houlie!

When she thought of this, her heart began to beat loudly.

Lu Chuxia frowned and glanced at her doubtfully, "You mean brother Lie? Why are you asking this?"

Mu Qingwan immediately smiled awkwardly, "I just asked out of curiosity. What? You don't know either?"

"I really don't know very well. He, his brother-in-law, and his father are always locked in the study room chattering. I don't know what big things they are discussing. But I heard from my father that he seems to have gone to deal with important things. It will take a while.

Will come back."

Mu Qingwan held her breath and asked: "You mean...he will still come here?"

"Of course, grandma said she wanted Brother Che to celebrate his birthday here, and she wanted Brother Lie to come back on time."

"That's good." Mu Qingwan's heart suddenly dropped and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up, she saw Lu Chuxia looking at her with a puzzled face. She quickly changed the subject and said:

"Well, tonight is too late. Starting tomorrow, I will help you design a program that will definitely impress the Sixth Prince. How about it?"

"Seriously?" Lu Chuxia's beautiful eyes suddenly sparkled like stars in the sky.

"When did I, Lu Qi, lie to you?"

She actually really wanted to help this little girl win Showa's heart. She could no longer repay his love. She just hoped that a good woman would treat him well so that he could get out of this haze and regain his own happiness.

"But I have a condition, that is, you are not allowed to say that I programmed this show, no matter who it is, can you do it?"

"why is that?"

Mu Qingwan curled her lips and said, "There is no reason."

"Okay, I promise you. Then we will meet tomorrow."

Lu Chuxia thought for a while, agreed, then smiled at him and jumped away, as if she was a completely different person than the crying one when she came.

Mu Qingwan looked at her retreating back and shook her head. It was such a cute little daughter's feeling.

Lowering her head and caressing her belly under her loose clothes, a gentle smile appeared on her lips:

"Baby, there are still twenty days before we can be reunited with your father. By then, mother will never let herself miss out on happiness again."

*

In the next few days, Mu Qingwan led Lu Chuxia to practice every day. Although she had a poor foundation in playing the piano, she was diligent and hardworking, and she made rapid progress. In addition to eating and sleeping every day, she practiced music several times.

She even bruised her fingers and still refused to stop. Finally, she feigned anger and scolded her a few times before she was willing to rest.

But although she didn't say it, she was deeply moved by Chu Xia.

The magic power of love is indeed great. It can make a woman like Chu Xia who hates piano, chess, calligraphy and painting so obsessed with playing the piano, just to play a song for her beloved.

In addition to rehearsing her program, Mu Qingwan helped Lu Qinxia check Ping'an Pulse every day. He didn't have much other work. After teaching her, he wandered around Lu Mansion every day.

Her belly is getting bigger day by day, and her loose clothes can hardly cover it. But fortunately, Xia Houlie will arrive in less than ten days, and then there will be no need to cover it up.

The baby has been quite well-behaved during this time, as if he understands her mother's sufferings, the fetal movements are not too severe, and morning sickness is no longer so frequent.

She thought that such a well-behaved doll might be a daughter. She didn't know whether she looked like her father, or whether she looked like her. They said that the daughter would look like her father. If she looked like Xia Houlie, then it would definitely be

What a beautiful little baby.

She pictured her daughter's face in her mind and smiled with satisfaction.

After walking for a while, she felt her legs were a little sore, so she walked to a small pavilion next to her to rest. As soon as she sat down, she heard a scolding sound coming from not far away. She looked for the sound out of curiosity.

An old woman in a gray short coat was angrily scolding a little girl:

"You're such a bastard, you're really ugly and do weird things. This is the eldest lady's favorite chrysanthemum. The fourth lady said that she would move it to Qinxue Pavilion for the eldest lady to watch. It would be better for you to not only break it to pieces, but also

The flower was trampled to pieces. If I were you, I would throw myself into the well early to avoid being beaten to death later!"

The little girl was so frightened that she trembled all over and knelt on the ground and cried non-stop. Seeing how pitiful she looked, and the old woman pinching and twisting her, Mu Qingwan couldn't help but feel angry.

But when I thought about my current situation, I had to restrain myself secretly, thinking that I couldn't cause any trouble at this moment.

Xia Houlie is not here now, and Helian Moxiao is in the house. If he discovers her whereabouts, there is no telling what he will do.

She still held a grudge about the last time he forced her into the house and forced her to get married. Although she later learned that he didn't deliberately use her as bait to lure Heng into taking the bait and achieve his own goals, he was a dignified person.

A grown man would use such despicable means to use a weak woman to achieve his own goals. Such behavior really disgusted her.

She was about to turn around and walk away when the little girl was hit and pushed by the old woman and accidentally fell to the ground. Mu Qingwan only glanced at her briefly, then her face immediately changed and she rushed forward and grabbed her.

Her hand called out:

"Autumn Heart!"

The little girl's face was filled with tears. When she heard Mu Qingwan call her that, she was stunned for a moment, and then said timidly:

"My name is not Qiu Xin, my name is Cui'er."

Mu Qingwan took a closer look and realized that although this little girl was flat in appearance, she was much better than Qiu Xin. She suddenly felt disappointed, but she refused to let the old woman bully her anymore.

"It's just a pot of chrysanthemums. If Miss Fourth asks, just say that I, Lu Qi, broke it."

When the old woman heard this, she immediately spat at her, "Bah, who are you? How dare you come here to cause trouble, do you know how much silver this pot of Penglai chrysanthemum costs? It's enough to buy ten or eight of yours!"

Mu Qingwan really couldn't stand her arrogant and mean expression, but she could only patiently say:

"The flowers I want to give to your eldest lady don't have to be chrysanthemums, so why make such a fuss?"

Cui Er next to her pulled her hand and sobbed:

"Don't blame Nanny Li. The flowers sent to the eldest lady's house must be chrysanthemums. The eldest lady said before that in the future, only chrysanthemums can be given to her."

Mu Qingwan was suddenly surprised: "Why is this?"

"Because our uncle likes it."

Mu Qingwan smiled understandingly and said:

"That's nothing. No matter how valuable a pot of chrysanthemums is, and Lu Mansion is so rich and powerful, just change it to another pot."

After Cui'er heard this, she started sobbing again, "Before she came out of the cabinet, the eldest lady disliked chrysanthemums the most, and the other ladies didn't like them either. They only liked orchids, so the fourth lady had already ordered this pot."
