Mu Huanqing finally realized something was wrong. Fu Yanlin looked at her differently. He would stay in the same room with her intentionally or not, and began to please her, even giving her fabrics and jewelry. Hearing that her subordinate Wu Gang was recovering from illness and lacking precious and hard-to-find medicinal materials, he sent people back to the palace and sent her the palace healing medicinal materials as a reward from the emperor.
I heard that she wanted to make some warm leather jackets this winter, so he went hunting the next day, skinned the rabbits and wolves he hunted, and gave them to her in person.
If she refused, he said, "If you don't want it, give it to our daughter." One sentence blocked her refusal.
Mu Huanqing pretended to be stupid because she didn't want to accept him. When she left the Hou Mansion, she had sworn that from now on, everything in the Hou Mansion had nothing to do with her, including him.
She asked him to come to Zhuangzi for the sake of her daughter. Doudou likes him and needs her father, and he treats her well. That's enough. It's impossible to go further. Because she doesn't have that heart.
But she can't stop him from pleasing him, and she can't slap him in the face, after all, her status is there, so all she can do is to remain indifferent, believing that over time, he will make fun of himself.
Mu Huanqing can think about it, but the people up and down the manor are not as open as she thinks. Everyone in the manor could see how Lord Hou wanted his wife, and among them, Sister Ji was the happiest.
Although she is loyal to her wife, she still maintains the concept of ordinary women marrying chickens and following chickens. At first, the Hou Ye didn't like his wife, so the wife had to leave the house, but now the Hou Ye is willing to put down his air to please his wife, which is a great thing! No matter how strong the lady is, she is still a woman. How pitiful is it to be so poor at such a young age? Besides, the child is born, how can there be any unhappiness between husband and wife?
In this world, men are gods after all, and women are better not to pierce the sky, so she deliberately found an opportunity to persuade at the side of arrows.
Mu Huanqing replied indifferently to her: "Mother Ji, if you want to change masters, I can understand, I won't mind."
The words frightened Ji Momo on the spot, and then she knelt down crying.
In the past few years, Madam has never been angry with her, this is the first time, Ji Momo knew on the spot that she was wrong.
Mu Huanqing let her cry, and finally sighed. "I'm not mad at you, I'm just disappointed. Since you're determined to follow me, you should focus on me instead of flattering others. You waver and help others to persuade me, thinking this is for my good. I If you are so easily moved, how can you protect you to this day? "It's not easy for me to come this far, go back and think about it! "
Afterwards, Ji Momo left crying, but when it came to Fu Yanlin's ears, he just kept silent.
What she said to Ji Momo, I'm afraid she said it to him on purpose?
He did take her as an ordinary woman, thinking that as long as he pleases her and gives her sweetness, she will let go of the past and accept him again, but he forgets that she is not an ordinary woman, she does It's not something ordinary women can do.
She made him like her even more.
But she wants to maintain the status quo, but he can't let her stay where she is. Since he can't treat her the way an ordinary woman would, he should treat her the way a husband treats his wife!
The next day, when he handed over Zhuangzi's house deed to her, she was really surprised.
"This village will be yours from now on," he said.
He gave her too generously, but it made her unbelievable. There is no free lunch in this world, so she will not be fooled.
"What are the conditions for you to do this?"
It's not like he didn't know about their situation, and he actually started pretending to be stupid like her?
"That's not good," she said hurriedly.
"You don't want Zhuangzi?" He raised his eyebrows.
She was at a loss for words and could not refuse. She wants this Zhuangzi so much, not to mention that she has spent four years of hard work here, why would she not want it? But she knew his intentions. If she wanted it, wouldn't she have done what he wanted?
"If you want to keep it, this Zhuangzi will be my apology. After all, I was the one who was sorry for you back then. I knew you were wronged, but I still let you go out. This is my apology. ." After he finished speaking, he turned and left without giving her a chance to refuse, leaving her surprised and dazed.
She watched Fu Yanlin's back, and then looked back at the deed in her hand. It turned out that he really knew that she was wronged, so he not only put down his body and confessed his fault to her, but also apologized to her.
Fu Yanlin did it, and he clearly put the thought of redemption in front of her eyes.
Everyone in the village knew that Hou Ye had confessed his mistake to his wife, and even sent Zhuangzi's deed as an apology. This time, Ji Momo did not say anything, but she smiled His eyes were clearly happy for Mrs.
Mu Huanqing remained calm as usual, as if a village and land could not buy her heart at all, but only she knew that the night she got the deed, she lost sleep.
Oh no, she is not the only one, the butterfly on the beam also knows that she is insomnia.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan's trick is to die and live. It is difficult to impress Mu Huanqing with a lot of money, but if he knows how to let go of his body and admit his mistakes, it hits Mu Huanqing's weakness.
After watching the play for so long, He Guan finally saw the way. Mu Huanqing doesn't really want much, it's just the word "respect", but in this society where men are superior to women, men don't know how to respect women at all. For men, women are their property, give them names and support them , pamper them, as a reward. What seems to be enlightened. No wonder women want to compete for favor!
For hundreds of years, he thought he knew women, and he had seen too many people of all shapes and sizes. There were also many powerful women like Mu Huanqing, but he could be like her without being courted by men. The woman who put on airs, he has never seen.
He Guan seems to understand the point of this mission. Although this pair of enemies has written a reconciliation book, as long as it is not made public and the woman is not removed from her husband's family, it will not be considered a reconciliation. Now men also have hearts, but why hasn't there been much progress in the red line?
Although Fu Yanlin confessed to her and apologized, the color of the red line finally changed, but only a little... Could it be that Mu Huanqing was careless?
In this way, it is necessary to find a way to make Mu Huanqing tempted, the heart is moved, and the marriage line is moved, not a husband and wife.
This night, He Guan also fell into deep thought, and fell asleep with the beanie girl.

Fu Yanlin stayed in Zhuangshang for a few days before returning to the capital.
When he left, he saw Mu Huanqing's face was calm and seemed normal, but his eyes were a little dodgy, and he knew that his method had worked.
He can take it slow, pull out the thorn stuck between them, and mend it with his sincerity, not to mention that he has confessed his heart to her, so she can no longer play stupid right?
The commander-in-chief wanted to return to Beijing, and the three confidants had to follow along, but Liu Yun and Liu Mu were left behind by the adults.
Mu Huanqing immediately refused. When they were in the Hou Mansion, they put eyeliner in her yard like this. She didn't want him to leave behind to monitor her after he left.
Fu Yanlin was not angry when she saw her rejection, and handed over the deeds of Liu's sister and brother to Mu Huanqing.
"In the future, these two people will be yours. If you think they are not easy to use, you can sell them."
After saying this, he got on his horse and left, regardless of whether she wanted it or not, the Liu sisters and brothers who were left behind stared at her with teary eyes, a pitiful expression of fear of being abandoned appearance.
Mu Huanqing is the next two big ones. Speaking of which, she has no grievances with Liu's sister and brother. When they were in the Hou Mansion, they didn't do anything disrespectful to her. If they were sold like this, she would not bear it.
Damn, Fu Yanlin clearly did it on purpose.
In this case, let the two brothers and sisters take the place of Zhuang Kang and the three of them! It just so happened that the three of them left, and the two brothers and sisters could replace them, so she could let those servants whose wives have children and elders who were sick and needed to take care of them continue to stay in their hometown in peace, without rushing back.
Liu sisters and brothers are as diligent as the three Zhuang Kangs, they will do whatever they are told, but they are more careful than the three Zhuang Kangs. The three of Zhuang Kang can only do rough work, but Liu Yun and Liu Mu can also do meticulous work, such as dyeing cloth, weaving straw and knotting baskets, and taking care of the young lady.
Liu's sister and brother came to work earlier than anyone else, and got off work later than anyone else. Ha ha.
But of course they have to work, because Hou Ye called their sister and brother to the house the night before leaving, and gave them a very important task. They really just wait to be sold.
Anyway, they lived in the Hou Mansion and served the lady. Although they didn't live long, they knew a little bit about the temperament of the lady. Since the lady saw Xinyu and Li Yuan's loyalty and honesty, then they tried their best. Ways to show these strengths.
In addition to work, work!
Wake up earlier than others, sleep later than others, don't ask for good food, just want to eat; don't ask for a place to sleep, just don't drive them away.
Mu Huanqing is not an idiot, and at first glance they know that they must have been ordered by Fu Yanlin to stay with her. She understands the hard work of being a servant, the master has orders, and they can't help themselves, but she doesn't want to put two eyeliners on her own territory and be watched all day long.
She originally planned to send them to live outside, but before she spoke, the two of them went out of Zhuangzi by themselves, came to work early in the dark, and automatically rolled after work far.
Okay, play tricks with her? She decided to ignore it and let them stay outside Zhuangzi!
It has been raining and thundering these few days, and it has been raining heavily. One sneezed heavily and had two snots hanging from his nose, looking really embarrassed. And they themselves would take the initiative to hide away, and voluntarily go to the stable to pick up horse manure, because there is no one there, and they will not spread the disease to others.
Mu Huanqing finally convinced them and sighed. "Forget it, ask the steward to arrange a room for that sister and brother!"
Blessed, turned around and stepped back to find the manager.
"Wait." She stopped Xinyu, thought about it, and said, "Let those two come to see me directly."
Liu Yun and Liu Mu got the information and knew that Madam wanted to see them, so they rushed to see them. They thought that Madam asked them to come and stay for the two of them. The sister and brother were discussing whether to kneel and kowtow and ask Madam to take them in when they saw Madam, but they guessed Madam wrong.
"Tell me, what task did Lord Hou give you?"
Both of them were stunned, Liu Yun immediately knelt on the ground, raised his head and whispered: "The Lord ordered us to stay and help Madam to work hard."
Mu Huanqing just smiled. "It seems that you don't intend to take me as your master, and you don't even tell the truth, which means that we have no fate as master and servant. Since your adults will deal with you with me, then I will sell you!"
When the sister and brother heard this, they immediately kowtowed. "Madam, spare your life!"
"I'll ask you again, what do you want you to do to stay? Think clearly and then give a good reply. This is the last chance." momentum.
The siblings glanced at each other, knowing that if they didn't tell the truth, I'm afraid they really wouldn't have a chance.
Liu Mu raised her head and said, "Madam, Lord Hou kept us here because he was afraid that someone would rob him of his wife."
Mu Huanqing froze, then frowned. "Someone robbed me?"
"Madam, don't blame the little one for telling you honestly. During the period when Lord Hou lived in this Zhuangzi, he found his wife's amiability, and he fell in love with him, but he also found this Zhuangzi. There are many people in the room who adore his wife, and Hou Ye feels a little uncomfortable, but he knows that he owes his wife, so he can't say this, and Hou Ye has military affairs, so he can't always accompany his wife, and he knows that his wife does not care. Lord Hou, because of this, Lord Hou felt uneasy, so he left us both in the village."
Liu Yun hurriedly added: "Madam, don't get me wrong, Lord Hou did not leave us here to keep an eye on Madam, but just in case... in case..."
Mu Huanqing frowned. "What if? Say."
Liu Yun clenched his teeth and let it go. "Madam Chi, the Marquis is thinking that if there is such a person, it is right in the eyes of Madam, at least we can inform the Marquis in time, let him come over immediately, and don't let anyone take you away. ."
No matter how thick-skinned Ren Mu Huanqing was, he couldn't help blushing when he heard this, and scolded: "What is it that can't be robbed or not, is it harmful to say this?"
"I knew that you would be unhappy if you said it, so of course Lord Hou dared not say it. Since he dared not say it, he had to leave us here." Liu Yun replied in a low voice.
Liu Mu said: "Madam, Marquis can't do anything about it. He can't see Madam from time to time, and he is worried about it, so he has to come up with this."
What did he mean? After Mu Huanqing heard it, she didn't know whether to ask questions or pretend she didn't know?
"Madam, if Marquis knew that we were telling the truth and made him lose face, he would definitely punish us, please spare your life, don't drive us away, if Madam doesn't want to see us, let's I won't show up in front of you, I won't get in your eyes, I just ask Madam not to sell us off."
Mu Huanqing rubbed between her brows and had a headache. "Okay, I understand this, I won't drive you away."
"Mrs. Xie!" The siblings rejoiced, and quickly kowtowed.
Mu Huanqing's face sank. "But I warn you, if you let me know what you are doing arbitrarily, or what you have done in private, you don't even need to say anything and sell it directly."
"Don't worry ma'am, our brothers and sisters must behave and serve you faithfully."
"I'll talk about whether I'm loyal or not. Forget it, step back!"
"Yes." Liu Yun and Liu Mu kowtowed to her again.
She waved. "Get up, don't knock, I don't have so many rules here, I see people's hearts, if you are really loyal, I will not treat you badly."
"Yes, the little one knows, the little one will not disappoint the madam." The sister and brother got up and withdrew happily.
After they were out of the yard and away from everyone's sight, the sister and brother looked at each other and breathed a tacit sigh of relief.
In fact, their real task is not to stay in Zhuangzi, but to find the right time to tell the madam those nasty words just now, whether they can stay in Zhuangzi is the second thing.
They have been with Hou Ye for so many years, but they never thought that once the unsmiling Hou Ye chased a woman, he would put so much effort into it, even if he was not in Zhuangzi, he would have to use their mouths Convey this disgusting thought to the lady, so that she can know that he cares about her. Even if he is not around, his heart is still thinking of her, trying to imprint his shadow on her heart bit by bit.
Now they have not only accomplished the task, but also stayed there smoothly, without wasting the past few days of hard work. After the brothers and sisters retired, Mu Huanqing sat alone in the room. Fu Yanlin's jealous words were just right, they would not annoy her, and let her understand through the mouths of others.
She really wasn't unhappy when she heard it, on the contrary it was funny.
Since he wants to save her, let her see his sincerity, she won't pretend Live your life the same way, you won't suffer. After she figured it out, she became more open-minded.
After three days, Fu Yanlin sent Meng Huai a message. Mu Huanqing thought that Fu Yanlin had something important, but Pai Menghuai came to tell her that he would go out for a few months after taking over the military affairs, and if it went well, he would come back as early as possible.
"That's it?" Mu Huanqing was taken aback. She thought it was something important that he sent someone to send a message.
"Also, this is a gift from the adults to Miss Doudou." Meng Huai took out a jade-carved horse and handed it over respectfully.
Doudou, who was sitting in her mother's arms, listened and reached out to take it happily. "The horse is so beautiful, mother, look at this horse."
"Handle it carefully, don't break it."
Mu Huanqing hurriedly reached out to help her daughter hold it. Seeing that she liked it, she had to accept it and asked Menghuai again. "But there are other important things?"
Meng Huai said with a smile: "It's nothing important. Lord Hou just wanted him to go out for so long, and there was no news. I was afraid that you would be worried, so he specially sent a subordinate to let his wife know."
Mu Huanqing heard this and wondered what could she be worried about? However, thinking that he was looking for someone to inform him, he couldn't say anything.
"Got it."
"Then can Madam tell the Marquis if you have something to say?"
Mu Huanqing wanted to answer no, but when she saw Meng Huai's begging face, she suddenly thought that Fu Yanlin was 80% hoping to hear what she said. When I returned to answer my life, I could have a good face, so I had to deal with it casually: "Then help me convey to the Hou Ye, I wish him all the best."
"Yes, this... what else?"
Mu thought about it, looked at the jade horse in his hand, and added another sentence. "Next time he buys something for his daughter, don't buy such fragile ones. The child is small and afraid of falling."
"The lord also loves Miss, always thinking of buying the best for Miss, but I didn't expect so many, but since it was the order of the lady, the youngest must pass it on to Lord Hou."
Meng Huai thought to herself that it was not the adults of their family who intended to give this jade horse. And the jade can't be dropped, the madam is afraid that the young lady will break, and she will help the young lady to put it away, and this jade horse is equivalent to giving it to the madam.
The adults of their family are really caring, and they can even come up with this bewildering method.
Menghuai didn't have much time to stay, Mu Huanqing knew that he had important things to do and had to go on the road, so he had people packed full of dried fruits and cakes for him to eat on the road.
Meng Huai quickly thanked Mrs. Madam's food here is delicious, a few of them ate with Hou Ye for a few days, and their mouths were greedy, so they were so happy that they took it on the road and hurried back to answer the order.
Ten days passed after Meng Huai left.
Master Hou said that although things were a little tricky, it went well, and he also gave the young lady a gift, a horse carved in amber. The action of this horse is different from the previous horse. The sculptor is matched with the color of amber, which is very expressive. Even Mu Huanqing took a few more glances.
"Master Hou said that this amber horse is very rare and must be kept. Master Hou also said that the desserts given by his wife were delicious, and he was very pleased to eat it."
Mu Huanqing was startled. When did she bring him snacks? But after thinking about it, I suddenly realized that it must be that the pastry she gave Meng Huai was taken by Meng Huai to honor their adults.
Mu Huanqing shook her head, gave the amber horse to her daughter to play with, and said some words of wishing Mr. Hou all the best as usual, but this time he prepared two meals for Yuan Ji.
"One for you, one for Lord Hou, don't be hungry, eat on the road."
Yuan Ji thanked his wife happily, brought things on the horse, and thought that he was much smarter than Menghuai when he set off, not only helped their adults to get snacks, but also to please adults, without giving Own, eat on the road, really kill two birds with one stone.
Every five to ten days, Fu Yanlin will send someone to send a message. If the distance is too far to send someone down, let the messenger send a letter, and every time he will prepare a small gift of a horse sculpture as usual . In addition to jade carvings and amber carvings, there are also crystal carvings, bronze carvings, black stone carvings, or all kinds of materials she has never seen before.
Each horse moves differently, and the letter he sent will also write the material of the engraving and its characteristics.
After a long time, Mu Huanqing also gave birth to a bit of fun. The horses collected from all over the place were put together into a large group of horses, black foal, white foal, brown foal and other horses of various colors, and each time he collected a new one, he would give it to her the next time he delivered a letter. .
The more times you send it, the more Mu Huanqing will come. This is for my daughter, it is simply given to her by turning a corner. After all, my daughter is still young, how can you understand this?
She couldn't help but smile when she thought that others were bothering to find these horse eagles outside. It is undeniable that such a small intention really pleases her.
Mu Huanqing put these horses on the shelf one by one, ready to enjoy and play.
