Coming out of Mu Qinglian's yard, the gloomy look on Qi Rui's face became even darker.
He wanted to see if Mu Chengwan had ulterior motives.
After finding an excuse to get rid of the girl who was following him in the mansion, Qi Rui went to Chengming Garden alone.
In order to prevent the girls from finding out, Qi Rui acted like a gentleman and jumped onto the wall.
There are no exotic flowers or plants in the yard, only the most common but most vital roses, which cover one wall, red, pink, and purple, and extremely beautiful.
Opposite this place, which is full of roses of various colors, there is a swing frame.
The swing frame was covered with morning glories. On the simple swing, a girl dressed in white was sitting sideways.
There was no headgear on the girl's head, and her hair was as long as ink, hanging down from her back. However, this hair was flawless, part of it was very long and beautiful, while the other part was cut off in the middle.
It's like a perfect painting, but someone used scissors to cut off the most exciting part, leaving those who look at the painting filled with regret.
The girl sat quietly and swayed slowly on the swing.
Seeing the girl's back, Qi Rui could recognize that it was the third young lady, Mu Chengwan.
He stared at Mu Chengwan for a long time, but Mu Chengwan always maintained the same posture, motionless. Likewise, none of the maids came to take care of her.
After all, Qi Rui couldn't hold back anymore and walked forward gently.
When he walked to the front, Qi Rui saw clearly that Mu Chengwan was sleeping while leaning on the shelf.
But she seemed to be sleeping very uneasily, her brows were furrowed tightly, her pale face was unpainted, her lips that should have been pink were also slightly white, and the cyan under her eyes was very strong.
I don't know why, seeing Mu Chengwan like this, Qi Rui's heart seemed to be gently stirred by something.
By some strange coincidence, his hand actually touched her lips.
At this moment, Mu Chengwan opened his eyes.
After experiencing the initial confusion, Mu Chengwan finally saw the person in front of him clearly.
At this moment, her face turned even paler, and there was even a hint of panic in her eyes.
This made Qi Rui very uncomfortable.
When she saw him coming, shouldn't she be very happy and excited? Why was she looking like this?
What made Qi Rui even more unhappy was that after Mu Chengwan realized what he was doing, he subconsciously jumped off the swing and then backed away, avoiding Qi Rui like the plague!
"Stop!" Qi Rui shouted coldly.
But after he finished speaking, he didn't even know why he felt this way?
If it’s not Qinglian, shouldn’t he avoid her?
Mu Chengwan bit her lip tightly, her pale face made me feel pity for him.
"Will this king eat you? Why do you hide when you see me?"
However, Mu Chengwan made a sound and knelt down directly, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui, please spare Chengwan! Chengwan has no talent and appearance, and her status is very high. If she is not worthy of joining the palace, please take back your life, Chengwan."
I am willing to go to the nunnery outside the city and never set foot in the imperial capital again forever. I will never interfere with His Highness’s peace, nor will I make my eldest sister uncomfortable.”
"Would you rather become a monk than be my concubine?"
"yes."
"Hey, Mu Chengwan, are you playing hard to get? Do you think that this will make me reluctant to leave you?"
"Chengwan doesn't dare. This is Chengwan's innermost thoughts. I don't dare to deceive His Highness!"
