Back Off, Let Me Come

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a rhythmic knock on the door outside the hospital.

Cui Hui thought it was Qi Yuanliang who left and returned.

She put on warm clothes and went to open the door. The face of the person outside the door was so startling that her soul went cold. If she hadn't been sensible, she would have closed the door long ago. Cui Hui secretly clenched the door bolt, pretending to be confused, and used the candlelight to carefully identify the person who came: "Who are you?"

Cui Hui called out the true identity of the visitor with uncertainty.

"Mei Nujun?"

The plum dream under the candlelight is more beautiful than usual.

Like red plum blossoms blooming on the branches, it is astonishingly beautiful.

"Mrs. Cui, please don't be offended if you come to disturb me late at night." Mei Meng's red lips opened slightly outside the door, smiling like a spring mountain. Raising her slender hands, she completely lifted the half-covered veil, revealing her charming eyes that were as affectionate as looking at a dog. Cui Hui was so distracted by the stunning beauty that he couldn't say anything to refuse the blame. .

Cui Hui swallowed.

Step aside and signal the other person to come in.

"No, I'm just wondering why the queen is here."

Cui Hui knew that Mei Meng was a literary scholar, and also knew that ordinary people could not hide their inner thoughts in front of a literary scholar. She restrained her thoughts to avoid leaking content that should not be disclosed.

Mei Meng took off her curtain hat and followed Cui Hui inside.

"For some personal matters."

Cui Hui and Mei Meng were just acquaintances, meeting each other occasionally, but they also tacitly avoided each other because of the relationship between the master who was assisted by Mei Meng and the head of the Cui family. Their relationship is not close enough for Cui Hui to inquire about each other's private affairs, so this topic can only be discussed at this point. Cui Hui started a new topic: "I wonder why the queen came to visit late at night? If it is for Mr. Cui, I have been separated from him for many years."

Mei Meng said: "That's not the case, I'm here for my wife."

Cui Hui looked down at himself, puzzled: "For me?"

She has no friendship with Mei Meng.

Mei Meng may not be well-intentioned when she comes to visit at this juncture.

Cui Hui only hoped that the people arranged by Qi Yuanliang would be smarter and send the news about Mei Meng's visit as soon as possible, so as not to implicate himself. After all, Mei Meng is a genuine literary scholar. If she had any ill intentions, she would not kill him even if he had ten lives!

"Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is a happy event! I heard that my wife and the Cui family have reconciled. There has been no news for many years. I never thought that I would meet my wife here. During the day, I heard from my servant that I saw you in Fugu City. I thought he was wrong. , I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Cui Hui didn't believe her nonsense at all.

Who would come to visit me late at night?

Is their relationship so good that when Mei Meng heard about her whereabouts, she couldn't wait to find out? Although he didn't believe it in his heart, Cui Hui still exchanged pleasantries with Mei Meng. If we put aside the awkwardness of their identities and time, the conversation was quite pleasant.

Mei Meng is a very talkative person.

When the two of them talked, there was almost no awkward moment.

Even though his reason told Cui Hui that there was something wrong with Mei Meng in front of him, he always unconsciously forgot this during the conversation. Overall, Mei Meng is a person who cannot be disliked. Cui Hui himself likes beautiful people, and Mei Meng’s looks are very good!

There is a lot of chat content.

Including but not limited to the situation in Qi State and family gossip.

Mei Meng also brought the current situation of Cui Hui's two sons and one daughter.

Ms. Cui intends to find her eldest son a suitable female queen, her second son has excelled in academic examination, and her younger daughter has gained a reputation in the aristocratic family circle. I heard that many matrons of high-ranking families are interested in marrying Ms. Cui, and some have even started to do so. He tried to test the words of the Cui family head, but was declined by the Cui family head. He also took his three children with him to educate them. Speaking of Patriarch Cui, Mei Meng mentioned in casual conversation that the Cui clan always hoped that Patriarch Cui would marry another mistress.

The Cui family has a great business and cannot do without their mistress.

Cui Hui was surprised: "He hasn't gotten married yet?"

Mei Meng said: "The conditions are not very good."

The stranded goods in the marriage and love market.

Cui Hui's expression was subtle for a moment.

This was the first time she heard someone say that her ex-husband's conditions were not very good, but the person who said this was Mei Meng, and it was very reasonable.

The ex-husband has obvious advantages. He is in his prime, the leader of the Cui clan, and his power and status have reached the ceiling of his current stage. However, these can only prove that he is a successful man, but they cannot prove that he is a suitable husband. His shortcomings in the marriage market are also obvious. He divorced twice and has two sons and one daughter, all of whom are legitimate children. What benefits can there be in marrying a well-matched young girl?

Instead of marrying him, it would be better to keep an eye on his son.

Those who are well-matched cannot be looked down upon, and those who are small cannot reach.

In addition, there is another important point.

The first wife of the Cui family was the head of Qi State.

Who knows what the leader of the Qi State's attitude towards the men he used to be and whether he has any old feelings for him? Will his daughter marrying him really not be an eyesore to the leader? Wouldn't the king secretly wear small shoes for his own family?

For these reasons, the Cui family leader is still single.

Cui Hui nodded and agreed with Mei Meng's words: "That's true. He is the father of three children, two sons and one daughter. The eldest son has started discussing marriage. In a few years, people will call him Aweng and marry another as beautiful as a flower. Madam, it’s really not appropriate…”

The Cui family’s mistress may not be the wife of the Cui family head.

She could also be the wife of Cui's eldest son.

Cui Hui knew that Mei Meng was good at wine, and it happened that there was wine in the kitchen.

He poured it for her, and the aroma of wine overflowed in the hall.

Mei Meng took a few sniffs and her eyes lit up.

"Good wine! This is actually the most authentic spirit brew!"

"Spirit brew?"

Mei Meng couldn't wait to take a sip. After a while, two light pink haloes appeared, making her look infinitely charming. Cui Hui didn't even drink, but just looking at Mei Meng's face made him drunk.

"Spirit brewing is a specialty of Kang State and is extremely difficult to buy."

The spiritual brew you can buy on the black market is basically mixed with water.

Even Mei Meng has never had a few authentic drinks.

Other places have long been hyped and become hard-earned money.

Cui Hui thought of the dozen or so dusty wine jars piled haphazardly in the kitchen, and was skeptical about Mei Meng's statement that it was "extremely difficult to buy."

After a while, Mei Meng drank two jars of wine alone.

His eyes were filled with hazy mist, and his posture was lazy and casual. Even his hair seemed to be charming. Cui Hui looked at her for a moment, and Mei Meng pulled up the skirt of her clothes that had slipped off her shoulders at some point, her smile showing a bit of coquettishness.

"What are you looking at, madam?"

"Looking at a beautiful woman under the moonlight is ten times better than in the daytime." Cui Hui swallowed, "In the daytime, the lady is one of the rarest and most beautiful women in the world. Now, when I look at her, even I, a woman, am moved."

Mei Meng was amused by her straightforward compliment. She approached Cui Hui with a smile and exhaled the light smell of wine: "If I had known that Madam was so interesting, I should have made friends with you earlier. Maybe I could become a close friend in my boudoir."

Cui Huidao: "It's not too late now."

Mei Meng happily agreed: "What Madam said is true."

Spiritual brew without water is very easy to get intoxicating, and Mei Meng was reluctant to use literary energy to relieve the drunkenness. After three or four jars, she was already half-drunk and her eyes were blurry. Cui Hui gets drunk faster as an ordinary person.

His head was heavy and resting on Mei Meng's shoulder.

The two of them were chatting about something.

Cui Hui even didn't know when he fell asleep. He only knew that when he woke up, Mei Meng put the back of her hand on her forehead, propped her elbow on the table, closed her eyes, and slept peacefully. He rested his head on the other person's calf, causing obvious wrinkles in her skirt.

The smell of alcohol in the house was much lighter.

Cui Hui got up and rubbed his temples, which were sore from the hangover.

The sunlight pours in from the window, leaving a ray of light behind.

When Cui Hui saw this, he wanted to scold Qi Yuanliang for being unreliable.

Little did they know, Qishan had already arrived.

Arrived half an hour before dawn.

Cui Hui didn't wake up, Mei Meng pretended to sleep, and he couldn't break in.

With a creak, the door opened.

Qishan couldn't bear to look at Cui Hui who was still hungover and not fully awake. Cui Hui's problem with looking at faces has not changed after so many years. As an ordinary person, he didn't know how much he confided in Mei Meng when he met her.

He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Haha, you're here."

Qi Shan looked past Cui Hui and towards the woman behind her.

He nodded and said hello: "Mr. Mei, long time no see."

Mei Meng tucked her loose hair behind her ears, trying hard to ignore the sight that was so hot in the dark that it could almost burn people through, while maintaining a lazy and casual smile: "Well, I wish you a good morning."

The smile on Qishan's face was almost unbearable.

He thought about several possibilities, but he didn't expect that Mei Meng would take the initiative to expose his whereabouts and find Cui Hui as soon as he arrived. There was obviously no hostility in her attitude, and she couldn't come up to accuse him.

"What do you mean, lady? Are you waiting for me?"

Mei Meng: "Otherwise? Mr. Qi killed two of my capable servants without any reason, but you still don't allow me to come and ask for details?"

When he opens his mouth, he hits him with a rake.

Simply admit that your eyeliners and contacts are all your own.

Qishan almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

It's rare in the world for someone to be so confident when calling for a thief.

He spread it out directly and said: "Mr. Mei, don't be joking. Neither you nor your servants are citizens of Kang State. Our country is currently at war with Bei Mo and Gao, and our relations with the northwest countries are also tense. Nu Jun came to visit rashly. , shouldn’t we be cautious?”

Mei Meng readily admitted her mistake without blinking an eye: "This is because I didn't think carefully. As a person like Mr. Qi, it is true that he will not kill innocent people by mistake. This misunderstanding has caused you more trouble."

She admitted so quickly that Qi Shan almost couldn't react.

Qishan: "Why did Plum Lady come to Kangguo?"

Mei Meng said: "Sacrifice to the ancestors."

Qishan: "..."

This reason is impeccable.

Mei Meng's ancestral home is in Sibao County of Kang State. Although she has left the country, her roots are still in Kang State. It is reasonable to come back regularly to worship her ancestors. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just Mei Meng's excuse.

Qi Shan sneered: "Can ancestor worshipers have such a battle?"

If he hadn't done something small, he would have killed her people?

Small actions that exceed the bottom line will naturally lead to death.

"Why is Qi Jun so hostile?" She looked at Qi Shan with a smile. Her voice was still hoarse after a hangover, and it sounded like a lover whispering. The end of the sentence also had an intoxicating tone, as if a feather was gently tickling her. Looking at her heart, seeing that Qi Shan was not hypocritical, Mei Meng could only say seriously, "To be honest, I came out to travel and look for opportunities to break through. I am as beautiful as I am, but I am just flesh stained with blood. What kind of jackals, tigers and leopards can smell it?" Don’t want to take a bite? Isn’t it normal to go out with more people around you to protect yourself?”

Although this statement may seem narcissistic, it is also true. A woman in this world, especially a stunning woman, will indeed become a trophy to be chased if she does not have the ability to protect herself.

Qishan asked: "A breakthrough opportunity?"

Mei Meng stretched out, revealing the graceful arc of her waist, her shoulders looming, and her gaze in the dark became even more intense. She smiled inwardly and said casually: "This is an opportunity for the perfection of the scribe's way. A person like Qijun should also know how precious it is."

To put it simply, I just go out and look for opportunities.

When passing by my hometown, I planned to pay homage to my ancestors’ graves.

She was a weak woman who had been away from her homeland for so many years. Of course she had to send someone to inquire about the situation in her homeland when she came back. It was all just to protect herself. As an old friend, Qi Shan is not even allowed to do this?

Qishan: "Is that just that?"

Mei Meng covered her lips with a smile: "What else? Could it be that Mr. Qi suspects that I have evil intentions and wants to seek for Kang's country? Not to mention that there is no border between Qi and Kang's country, and there is no conflict between the two countries. Even if there was, I would be in danger alone. What good can it do?"

All actions have a purpose.

Although it was wrong for Mei Meng to appear in Kangguo in a private capacity, she did not take any measures that were detrimental to Kangguo. All her actions were just to break through opportunities, and they were allowed anywhere. Two domestic servants crossed the line and were killed. Mei Meng was at fault first, and the two sides were cleared. If Qi Shan wants to do anything to her in his official capacity as Kang Guo, it will only provoke a war between the two countries.

Qishan: "It's really not beneficial."

The evidence is not available, and there is really nothing that can be done to the other party.

Qishan didn't intend to break up now.

Instead, he was very interested in the breakthrough opportunity Mei Meng said.

Counting the time with her fingers, Mei Meng had been practicing for at most ten years. Looking back, she was not too young when she started practicing. Although he started so late, he was able to reach the threshold of perfection in the way of scribes in ten years. He is considered to be the best among literati.

Qishan took the initiative to soften his attitude.

Mei Meng naturally wanted to give up as soon as she could.

Sometimes, the most dangerous places are the safest.

It is wise to take the initiative to expose yourself.

If Mei Meng had always been secretive and Qi Yuan had a ruthless conscience, he would definitely fish in troubled waters and kill him on the spot if he caught him. Afterwards, when he was exposed and questioned by Qi Guo, he could deduce all the blame with just "I don't know".

A senior official from another country who entered the country concealing his identity was killed in vain. How could Qi Guo prove that Qi Shan knew her identity when he killed her? It cannot be proven, and naturally it cannot be convicted.

Holding your head to the sky is an unintentional mistake in praying for good.

Qi Guo could only suffer the loss of being dumb.

"When you meet an old friend in a foreign country, would you like to have a drink?"

Authentic spirit brewing is not always available.

Mei Meng can also be regarded as a benefactor.

The benefactor invited me, so there was no reason to refuse.

Cui Hui got up and went to a nearby restaurant to order food and drinks.

When they came back, Qi Shan and Mei Meng had a very pleasant conversation. The content was all related to the cultivation of literary scholars, and occasionally included many obscure and difficult spiritual methods. This gave Cui Hui a sense of separation - as if the two corpses were just her imagination.

"Each one has his own agenda."

Four words are enough to describe the two of them at this time.

Qishan didn't get any benefits from Mei Meng. After sitting for a while, she stood up and left, secretly sending someone to keep an eye on her.

"General Lu?"

The carriage drove for a while without seeing Lu Jue's appearance.

Qi Shan shouted twice more: "General Lu?"

After checking the surrounding area, no trace of Lu Jue's aura was found.

He thought of something and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"It's so disappointing!"

I don’t know why, but every time I write about Lu Jue and Mei Meng, I always feel like I’m driving.
