"Drink slowly."

Chu Xiao glanced at her, frowned slightly, a little unhappy.

"It's different from the sweet-scented osmanthus wine I've ever had. It seems to have a strange sweet taste. Did you add herbs?" Mu Tao pursed her lips, and wanted to continue pouring it.

"No matter how good it is, it can't be used as water. Stop for a while and drink it later." Chu Xiao didn't have the nerve to say that these two jugs of wine were specially prepared for her.

"I'm getting more and more stingy, and I don't like even drinking." Mu Tao stretched his legs, and Chu Xiao pushed the wheelchair aside to make room for her.

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that I added some licorice, mint, and a little lily in it, which can purify the fire, so it's not advisable to drink alcohol too fast. Wait a minute, lower your head a little, a leaf has fallen on you."

Chu Xiao put the jug far enough away from Mu Tao, leaned forward, picked off the yellow leaf, and was about to throw it into the charcoal fire, but was stopped by Mu Tao.

"Where did it come from in the twelfth lunar month?"

"Then I have to ask where you have been, lift your foot, you are on my sleeve."

Just now, his left hand was supporting the limp, and his right hand picked the leaves, but Mu Tao kicked his legs and pressed the cuff, making him unable to move.

"By the way, Chu Xiao, I have something, please return it to Ye Yun for me."

As Mu Tao said, she went to take out the jade pendant, and the clothes on her chest were slightly loosened by her tugging. This mysterious feeling of still holding the pipa and half covering her face made Chu Xiao's face burn instantly.

"You have a cold? Why is it suddenly abnormal?"

Mu Tao sighed and put the jade pendant on the table.

There is a little green in the clearness, and the head of the water is full. Chu Xiao only took one look, and recognized that it was the piece that Ye Yun had worn on his body for more than ten years. When he thought of seeing the tassel on Ye Yun's sword tail before, he couldn't help thinking about it. , edited how Mu Tao and Ye Yun will be in love for life.

"Chu Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Tao stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him. The man came back to his senses, coughed twice in embarrassment, picked up the jade pendant, and asked softly.

"Do you really want to pay him back?"

"It's true."

"If you stay, others will not know, let alone say anything."

"But I know, I care about it in my heart, since I want to cut it off, I have to cut it clean, otherwise, it will be unfair to anyone in the future, Chu Xiao, please help me pass it on to him, and by the way I want to get back my tassel, we will also It's clear."

Chu Xiao thought about it for a while, and then put the jade pendant on the table. The charcoal fire was still hot, and Mu Tao couldn't help but take off his outer coat.

"Cripple, are you going to roast me? It's so hot."

"Second Miss Mu is really straightforward, and she can even break up her feelings without delay."

"Didn't you say that I'm different from other women? With your words, I'm physically strong, and even my brain is made of bronze."

Chu Xiao smiled and refilled her glass of wine, and continued.

"Actually, you should give him an explanation yourself. To Ye Yun, you are different."

Mu Tao closed his eyes and sneered.

"From now on, in his eyes, only his sister is different, and as far as he is concerned, I am just his sister-in-law. Nothing else is possible."

Both of them were silent for a while, Chu Xiao put his fingers on his knees, and Mu Tao looked over.

"Last time, on the way back to Beijing from Chu State, I thought your legs could move, and I was taken aback. Are you still unconscious now?"

Chu Xiao wore a pair of off-white trousers, and Mu Tao couldn't keep staring at him, so he could only pretend to take a sip of a drink. This life is beautiful, and there is a saying that beauty can be eaten, but it actually makes sense.

Unknowingly, Mu Tao drank a little too much, but she was too good at drinking. She wanted to use alcohol to get drunk to have a good time, but she didn't expect that the more she drank, the more sober she became. If she wanted to forget, the forgotten people would all float in front of her. Ah shaking.

The anger was also transferred to Chu Xiao, without any hesitation.

"Cripple, back then at Xuantianya, if you accepted my kindness, maybe there would be no such troubles. Can elegant things be used for food? Is it possible that your Qiwuqin is more important than the succession of your heirs?

Forget it, every time I think about these things, I always get stuck in my heart, can't let go, pick and choose, and don't know who will accept you in the end. "

Zhang Quanzhi happened to come over to deliver hot water, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Mu Tao's nonsense. When he entered the door to add water, he took the opportunity to slam the basin and the table to express his dissatisfaction and harshness towards her.

When pouring water, Mu Tao's skirt was sincerely wet. Chu Xiao frowned, and Zhang Quanzhi hurried out.

"Quan Zhi's temper is like this, but I have some misunderstanding with you, do you want to change your clothes?"

"You still have women's clothes here?"

Mu Tao asked without thinking, but stopped Chu Xiao, his face turned slightly red, and his speech was not as smooth as before.

"Why, if you don't mind, I have clean clothes for you to change into, and it's in the warm pavilion."

It was really uncomfortable to have the wet skirt sticking to her calf, but Mu Tao didn't make any fuss, thanked her, and went to find clothes by herself.

Chu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling his back dripping with sweat.

Mu Tao rolled up his sleeves, and the bottom of his robe was almost on the ground, dragging it to the ground.

"Cripple, you are so tall."

The clothes on the chest were pulled tight on purpose, and Mu Tao fastened it with a belt before he dared to let go.

Inside the huge robe was a small woman, who looked much more well-behaved than usual. Chu Xiao swallowed a few times, and trembled his knees imperceptibly. Recently, he gradually became conscious, and he was happier than before. .

"When I was young, I played with kids my age, and I was always the tallest."

Chu Xiao seemed to be in a good mood. When talking about his health, the light in his eyes made Mu Tao excited.

"Then you will be fine in the future. When you are fine, find a good-looking wife."

"Is it okay?"

Chu Xiao suddenly turned his head. Mu Tao's skirt was placed on the sink to bake. The heat in the room increased again and again, and the sweat stains on the foreheads of the two of them dripped densely.

"Even if it doesn't work out, there are still many girls who want to marry you."

"Oh."

Chu Xiao stopped talking, "Back then, why were you so anxious to find someone to make a private appointment for life?"

"what?"

"At Xuantian Cliff."

Even if Chu Xiao didn't go, Mu Tao would go up to strike up a conversation with anyone who was a little pleasing to the eye. Fortunately, it was Chu Xiao back then.

"Is it okay not to say?"

"You can do whatever you want." Chu Xiao fiddled with the charcoal fire, one jug of wine had run out, he lifted the other jug ​​and put it on the table.

"When I was young, someone told Mu Ping and me a divination, although he was a charlatan, but I still remember his assertion at that time.

If I marry later than Mu Ping, it will hurt Mu Ping's luck.

My father and mother were only joking, and even Mu Ping didn't take it seriously. I was only a few years old at that time, and I don't know what happened, but I remember this sentence clearly.

Mu Ping is better than me in everything. I am afraid that one day, because of me, her good luck will collapse. Besides, people who can climb Xuantian Cliff are generally not ordinary people, so I am not taking risks. .

I didn't expect you, the cripple, to be the first to come and insult me. It's just too irritating. "

Until now, Mu Tao still thought he was teasing her, Chu Xiao didn't want to get rid of the grudge at that time, the truth is not as good as Mu Tao's wild thoughts.

He couldn't say that it was Jiang Huaigu who deliberately arranged for the two of them to meet in order to relieve his leg problems once in the spring/night.

No matter who listens to it, they will be furious and self-defeating.

"It was really helpless for Miss Mu to be angry that day. Today's sweet-scented osmanthus wine has the right to make amends."

"It's not that easy, Chu Xiao, I, hiccup..."

She burped, the taste was strong, with the sweet smell of licorice, "Actually speaking, you are indeed a good friend, you are loyal, talented, full of knowledge, and can cure difficult and miscellaneous diseases, really, not bad .”

Chu Xiao thought, I don't want to be friends with you.

Zhang Quanzhi entered the door again, whispered into Chu Xiao's ear for a while, and then stood up straight again.

"died?"

"It's true."

"That's it. Has Luo Qiyun entered Beijing?"

Zhang Quan was stunned and asked back.

"What she means is that we should go to Zhuyuan to find her, don't tell me..."

"Who's dead?" Mu Tao was confused and didn't know why.

"Wu Renhai."

"You killed it?"

Chu Xiao didn't evade, the sternness flashed in his eyes, he was still that gentle and refined young master.

"Damn him."

"Oh, so you went there that day to kill him, not to study the stubborn disease."

"nature."

After hearing this, Mu Tao suddenly thought of He Ling and Wu Mingyuan, as if she had done something wrong, she bit her lip secretly, a little angry.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier."

"So what if I tell you?" Chu Xiao didn't understand Mu Tao's sudden rage, so he chuckled lightly. He didn't want too many people to know about his deal with Luo Qiyun.

"Do you know, I told my wife that you are here to save people. If she knows that I have deceived her, how do you tell me to deal with it in the future? Besides, Wu Renhai has a son who is only a few years old. Kill him, Chu Xiao, can you tell me the reason for what you did, I don’t want to be an accomplice without knowing it.”

This feeling was even more unacceptable to Mu Tao than the grandiose massacre.

"Is a stranger really that important to you?"

"of course."

Wu Mingyuan's chubby face appeared in front of him, cute and innocent, and he was taken aback suddenly. Mu Tao grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair, lowered his head, and asked sharply.

"You won't even let the children go."

If it is said that Wu Mingyuan and He Ling were killed, Chu Xiao would not feel that there was a slight mistake. Back then, when such a big incident happened in Prince Liang's mansion, everyone only thought that King Liang died in battle, and the whereabouts of Concubine Liang and her son were unknown, but they didn't know. Concubine Liang was persecuted by gangsters, and she jumped off the cliff together with her eight-year-old son in grief and despair.

One died and one was injured, and those who survived became half-dead and disabled. Now they can only look up and pay their debts, which is only right and proper.

"Are you really so cold-blooded?"

Chu Xiao can't turn a blind eye to everyone. Mu Tao's attitude towards him can sometimes change the color of this calm face.

"He is my father-killer and enemy. Even if he slaughters all the family, he deserves what he deserves. Why do you say it cold-bloodedly? Since the second Miss Mu said that I am cold-blooded, it means that you don't understand me too well. I have such a temperament. I am not healthy. Healthy, you still expect me to be kind to others, you are too stupid.

The clothes are dry, Miss Mu, it's getting late, go home as soon as possible. "

Before she could reply, Chu Xiao pushed the wheelchair and went to the study.

Ling Dang stayed in the mansion, and she cared more about He Ling and Wu Mingyuan than she could have imagined. She was naturally partial and had no reason.

Crazy cripple, thinking this way, felt embarrassment and apology in his heart. When he left, he knew to close the door carefully. Because of his guilty conscience, Chu Xiao came out of the study and stared at the two doors blown by the wind. The door whimpered, sighed.

Xiao thought too much, but was still disappointed in the end.
