Mu Yun'an snorted and held Xiao Chengyi's arm without letting go. She didn't want to be bothered by others. She believed that her brother Yi would never leave her.
No matter what Shen Wanyue said, she would never believe it.
Xiao Chengyi touched her head and saw nothing unusual about her, then he felt relieved and asked, "Can you still walk?"
They came for a funeral, so of course they didn't have a carriage.
Mu Yun'an's eyes flashed, she shook her head and coquettishly said to him, "I can't walk anymore."
Xiao Chengyi pinched her little face, then squatted down and said: "Come on, I will carry you back."
Mu Yun'an was as happy as a child and climbed onto Xiao Chengyi's back using both hands and feet, and then kissed him on the cheek: "Brother Yi is so kind."
Xiao Chengyi's eyebrows moved slightly, he tapped his other cheek with his hand and said, "Where's this side?"
Mu Yun'an held back her smile and kissed him on the other cheek: "Can you leave now?"
Xiao Chengyi was extremely satisfied. He carried Mu Yun'an on his back and ran quickly. Mu Yun'an on his back hugged his neck tightly, giggling.
Shen Wanyue stood in the distance, watching Xiao Chengyi disappear into a mountain forest with Mu Yunan on his back. She seemed to still hear Mu Yunan's clear laughter in her ears.
She twisted her handkerchief and stared in the direction they left with a heavy look, gritted her teeth secretly and said: "Smile, there will be a day when you cry."
...
That night.
Small courtyard in the south of the city.
Xiao Chengyi came to the place where Xiao Jue lived alone. When the door opened, Xiao Jue was a little surprised to see that he was alone, so he asked: "Where is she? Not with you?"
Xiao Chengyi thought about the last time Xiao Jue deliberately angered him, causing him to misunderstand Yan Yan, and the resentment in his heart emerged again, and his tone was also very unkind: "Whether she comes or not, what does it have to do with you?"
Xiao Jue: "..."
He looked at Xiao Chengyi's gloomy face and asked, "What? Are you here to ask questions?"
Xiao Chengyi endured the anger in his heart, but he wanted to call an army to hold him accountable, but that incident was his fault in the first place. It was because he was jealous and fell into Xiao Jue's trap.
Therefore, he should take a warning.
Xiao Chengyi took a deep breath, walked in and asked in a faint voice: "Is Shen Chi awake?"
Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xiao Chengyi to let him go like this? He closed the door in a dignified manner, followed him and said: "Wake up."
Xiao Chengyi nodded and headed towards the flower hall. Xiao Jue asked, "Aren't you going to see him?"
"Go back later, I have something to discuss with you."
The reason why Xiao Chengyi didn't bring Mu Yun'an here today was because he wanted to discuss some important matters with Xiao Jue. After he entered the flower hall, he sat down at the table.
Xiao Jue poured him a cup of tea and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Chen Chi and Mu Xuechu should not stay for a long time. Since Shen Chi has woken up, you should prepare to leave Beijing early."
With that said, he took out two letters from his arms and handed them over and said: "Before going to Nanyue, you first take Chen Chi and his wife to the southern border to meet General Mu. There are two letters here. One of them can help me." One is for General Mu, and the other is for my uncle."
Xiao Jue received the two letters, put them away carefully, and asked teasingly: "Are you sure you didn't drive me away on purpose because of the county lord?"
The corners of Xiao Chengyi's lips twitched, this man really didn't like to pick up any of the pots, he was really annoying.
He snorted in a voice full of disdain and said, "You think too highly of yourself. I don't take your tricks seriously."
