Chapter 55
Chapter 55
Tao Linghua sat there in a daze for several days before recovering from it, his heart felt like a knife was twisted.
He thought, when the eldest brother and the second brother heard that they had a child, they must have felt the same way, right?Now that they want to marry a wife and have children, it is also the right way. It seems that the countermeasures discussed at the beginning will not work at all, maybe it is God's will?Sure enough, men and men are not acceptable.
Although it hurts so much, at this point, I have no choice but to let go.
At the same time, Master Mu, the third-rank servant in Mu's house, was drinking tea triumphantly.
Holding the teacup with a smile, the delicate small cup with celadon flowers on a white background is slowly turning in the hand, and the fragrance rises. Today's tea seems to have a special fragrance, which is refreshing.
Thinking of the calculations these days, the corners of his mouth can't help but he smiled happily, and the sound of laughter came out.
The young servant serving him refilled his tea and couldn't help asking: "Master, why are you so happy today?"
Mu Qi put down the teacup and ordered: "Open one of the paintings in the bottle for me."
The boy asked, "Master, which one do you want to see?"
With a gentle smile in his eyes, Mu Qi looked at the clear raindrops dripping on the dense bamboo leaves outside the window, waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want."
The servant walked over, took out a painting from the large pastel vase beside the desk, and unfolded it on the desk.
Mu Qi came over, gently stroked the young man on the scroll with his fingers, who was smiling like spring flowers in March, and sighed inaudibly.
The servant came in and reported in a low voice: "Master, Mei Rui is here."
Mu Qi paused slightly, and ordered: "Let her in."
Mei Rui walked in with a bamboo basket in her hand, bowed her head, knelt down and kowtowed, "I've seen Mr. Mu."
Mu Qi nodded and said, "Get up, what's going on over there?"
Mei Rui got up and replied softly: "Master Mu, the eldest son is still ill, and my wife is also busy looking for Mr. Tao. Yesterday, Mr. Tao came to peep at the door. The maidservant and Mei Zhi did as you ordered. Mr. Tao seems to be Believe it." After speaking, he presented the bamboo basket with both hands, and there were a few oranges in the basket, which were covered with dust.
Mei Rui said again: "He left after listening. The servant found this basket and some oranges at the place where he was standing. It seems that he was pretending to be a fruit vendor."
Mu Qi ordered someone to take it, looked at it, smiled in his heart, but said calmly: "You go, if there is any movement over there, find a chance to report it, and I will not treat you badly." Turning back, he told the boy: "Go and get her ten taels of silver, and go out and watch it, so that no one will find out. In addition, go and get ten taels to the two women, so that they can hold on, and report immediately if there is any news." The young man took the order, Take Mei Rui out.
Master Mu took a gulp of the cold tea, and snorted softly: "You don't want to consummate the house with a woman, do you? It's okay, as long as Xiaohua believes in it." After finishing speaking, he put down the teacup and continued to caress the person on the portrait , let out a sigh of relief, narrowed his eyes and leaned back on the armchair, and comfortably tapped the armrest with his fingers, as if entering meditation.
Calculation is an indispensable thing in his life, it has been integrated into the bone marrow and blood.
Fighting in court is much crueler than fighting with the Zhao family brothers. If you are not careful, you may lose your property and life, but you have never exhausted all your efforts and efforts like this.
Why?Mu Qi didn't know why, he just felt that if he didn't win over him, he would spend his whole life alone.Just want to fight, who cares why!
Therefore, he exhausted the greatest patience in his life, endured the pain of his beloved sharing the bed with others, and waited for the opportunity.
The time has finally come.
The cousin of the Zhao brothers plotted against Tao Linghua and wanted him to withdraw automatically.
But the Zhao family brothers pushed the boat along the way and plotted against their cousin, hoping that Li Shi would let her go because she felt sorry for her cousin.
But the praying mantis was catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind. No one expected that Mu Qihui would use this opportunity to plot against all of them.It only cost a mere hundred and ten taels of silver to bribe those maids and women, and made a few rumors, which made the Zhao brothers' painstaking efforts go to waste.Tao Linghua misunderstood that the Zhao family brothers had consummated the marriage with the woman under the pressure of Li Shi.But the blame was pushed on Li Shi.He, Mr. Mu, stood on the high bank, reaping the benefits of the fisherman.
Mu Qi was quite proud of this situation. He calculated that Tao Linghua would run away with his son in a few days, and that would be the time for him to reap the rewards.
A few days later, the person sent to follow came back and reported that Mr. Tao just stayed at home in a daze every day, doing nothing.Mu Qi felt that he should show up tomorrow to find Tao Linghua.
At this time, it was the dog days and it was extremely hot, but in the evening, there were suddenly dark clouds, strong winds blew up, and the raindrops fell down like drums. In an instant, layers of dense rain curtains formed between the sky and the earth, and it was almost impossible to see clearly. Something ten feet away.
The dense rain cut off the sound of the outside world. Mu Qi sat leisurely in front of the window, holding a small delicate purple clay pot in one hand, taking a sip from the spout from time to time, looking at the rain outside the window, thinking about himself Suddenly, he heard the young servant running in panting and shouting: "Master, it's not good, Mr. Tao is back!"
Mu Qi was taken aback, got up and asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Mu Sheng replied: "Mei Rui came here to say it secretly. I heard that she has already rushed in the door. I guess I have met Young Master Zhao by now."
Mu Qi couldn't help sitting back suddenly, and fell directly on the chair. He suddenly felt that there was something he didn't expect, so that there was an omission, but what was wrong?Can't remember again.
Probably, it is really going to fall short.
After sitting for a while, the rain was still heavy, and I couldn’t hear the movement next door. I was so anxious that I couldn’t sit still, so I took an umbrella and walked to the bottom of the west wall in the rain, and climbed up the ladder step by step.
The servant below raised his head and shouted: "Master, it's raining heavily, why don't you go up and see?"
Mu Qi shook his head and poked his head out gently.
The pattern on the other side of the wall is the same as this side, it is the residence of the Zhao family brothers, people can only see people coming and going, and after a while, I saw the cousin of the Zhao family brothers, Mrs. Li, supported by two maids. Hurry in.
Mu Qi waited quietly, as if he was waiting for the final judgment, but he still had a faint hope in his heart that Tao Linghua could forgive himself. Well, that hope is almost gone.
The torrential rain mixed with the gust of wind and the bamboo umbrella swayed to and fro, Mu Qi's body was completely soaked, his clothes stuck to his body, and the rainwater flowed down his face. Although it was summer, his whole body was icy cold.
What happened in that house is still unknown.
Suddenly, a blue-robed figure rushed out from inside, and ran straight to the wall. The robe was already soaked, and the thin cloth was stuck to the man's body, making him look thinner and thinner.Mu Qi stared at him bewilderedly, knowing that the man was coming in a rage, but he forgot to dodge and still stood on the wooden ladder.
Tao Linghua rushed into the rain curtain, stepping on the rainwater flowing into a river on the gray floor tiles, and ran to the wall. The ladder fell to the bottom of the wall. He struggled to stand up, leaned against the wall, and climbed up. I didn't care if my hand was broken, blood flowed down the palm, and was quickly washed away by the rain.
Mu Qi looked at the man stupidly as he climbed up the wooden ladder step by step. When they reached the top of the wall, the two had already met their faces, and finally saw the face clearly. Of course, his appearance had not changed, but he had become much thinner, and his hair and clothes were completely soaked. , his face was also pale from the rain.
These are not the main point, the main point is that on this once bright peach blossom face, the eyes that have become deeper and deeper are shooting out sorrowful and angry eyes, wishing to eat people.
Mu Qi opened his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't say it.
Tao Linghua punched him with one fist.
Mu Qi tilted his head, hit the left side of the face, and fell down with a bang, and fell straight to the ground, with the wooden ladder falling on his body.
Tao Linghua put his hands on the wall, struggled to climb up, and jumped down.
Mu Qi had already got up with the help of the servant, and was about to explain, Tao Linghua approached step by step, and said word by word: "You can harm me, why do you want to plot against my elder brother? You made him seriously ill. , I, I..." His voice was hoarse, as if his heart was crying blood, his eyes were full of resentment and despair, completely different from the usual anger.
He clenched his fists fiercely, his fingers were thin and pale, and his knuckles turned whiter, and he slowly raised his hand.
Mu Qi thought he was going to hit him, subconsciously tilted his head, but he didn't see him hit him down, but instead Mu Qi felt pain in his face, heart, and body, as if something in his heart was broken piece by piece, drifting away with the wind and rain , can no longer be recovered.
despair.
Looking at the resentful young man in front of him, he didn't have any nostalgia for him, only hatred.
He was a little confused, he didn't know why he had been entangled with Tao Linghua for so many years, it seemed like he had fallen into a magic way and couldn't extricate himself, but the harder he worked, the farther and farther he was, until he was so far away.
Mu Qi felt that his heart was sinking all the way to the bottom, to a place where there was no light.
Tao Linghua waved his fist, but put it down, and asked in a cold voice, "Why did you kill my elder brother! How can I feel sorry for you? You framed me like this!"
Mu Qi opened his mouth in a nasty manner, the rainwater flowed into his mouth, he couldn't help but swallowed a bit before making a sound: "Xiaohua, I didn't mean it, I just wanted to..."
"Needless to say...Mu Qi, before you hurt me, I could bear you, and I ignored you at worst, but now..." He paused, his breath seemed to be not smooth, and he twitched his nostrils, and then said: "There is no way. , I don’t need to see you anymore, even if I die.”
Mu Qi knew that he was telling the truth, his heart was twisted like a knife, and his face was distorted in pain, but he still held his hand a little unwillingly and asked, "Will you die?"
The fire in Tao Linghua's eyes went out, he lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "I won't see you even in the Underworld!"
The voice was very weak, as if it was blown away by the wind and rain all at once, but it was also very firm. After speaking, he picked up the wooden ladder and climbed up quickly, and disappeared on the wall in a blink of an eye.
Mu Qilen was there, let the rain wash away, the servant called softly: "Master, go back."
Turning around numbly, he went back to the house to wash and change clothes.I was still thinking, why is this?
According to the previous understanding of Tao Linghua, this is a kind and beautiful person. Just look at the incident between him and Fang Ye last time. No matter whether it is his fault or not, he will find the reason from himself and take all the blame. To himself, all he will escape and take care of Fang Ye.
If he heard the news that the brothers of the Zhao family had consummated their marriage with the woman, they would definitely blame themselves and avoid running away.
But this time, I really miscalculated.
Yes.
It turned out to be the case.
People's hearts, where is it so easy to calculate?
I counted all the people, but I didn't count Tao Linghua's feelings for the Zhao brothers. I never thought that he would come back to look for him regardless of face and humiliation.
Ha ha--
Mu Qi smiled wryly, could this be retribution?
After all the tricks were exhausted, the carefully woven net was lightly pierced by the word "love", and the broken nets in nothingness seemed to be evidence to laugh at oneself for wasting their minds.
Forget it, you won't even see me if you die, right?
Then go away!
Master Mu picked up the herbal tea on the table and poured it in one gulp.
