Chen Yuerong looked calm and fearless. As her eyes turned, she turned to Qinghua and said softly, "It's still early now. Go to the shop in front and buy some dried fruits and bring them back to the mansion."
Qinghua looked puzzled, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Miss, you never like dried fruits, why do you suddenly want to buy them?"
Shen Yuerong raised her chin slightly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, and said slowly: "A few days ago, I saw the servants in the mansion secretly bring some dried fruits to Taohua. Taohua liked it very much and hid a lot of it. Now that she is with me, I can't let her be so pitiful. It happens that I am going out today, you go buy some for her."
Qinghua nodded in agreement, then turned and ran out.
At this moment, Chi Mu quietly appeared in the pharmacy.
The drugstore was filled with a faint aroma of herbs, and sunlight shone through the gaps in the windows onto the ground, creating mottled shadows. Chi Mu was wearing a black robe, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, there was a bit of helplessness on his handsome face, his deep eyes looked at the man who had been playing tricks in the drugstore for an entire afternoon.
"Don't think that if you force me to come and see you, I will agree to what you want to say. I helped you once, but I can't help you every time."
"Have you fulfilled my wish once?" Shen Yuerong was slightly stunned, with a look of surprise on her face, as if she had never asked for anything before. A hint of doubt flashed across her autumn-water eyes, and her slender fingers gently stroked the corner of her clothes.
"You mean Huilian?"
"no."
In addition to Huilian's matter, Shen Yuerong seemed to have thought of something else. She tilted her head slightly and spoke tentatively.
"A fifth-rank official position of a general?"
Chi Mu did not say anything, but just stood there quietly. The complicated expression on his stern face made Shen Yuerong realize that she had guessed right.
It turned out to be him.
Originally, this was just a move by Shen Yuerong, but because of his self-righteousness, everything is now messed up.
Shen Yuerong really couldn't understand Chi Mu. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she wondered in her heart what he was trying to do.
Why should I make such a decision for her?
Being nice to others one-sidedly is meaningless and may even cause trouble to the other person.
Shen Yuerong decided to make things clear. She pursed her lips lightly and said firmly, "Your Majesty, what I said in the carriage that day was just a casual remark because of my relationship with Fu Hengyu."
"He's not worth your time."
Chi Mu frowned when he heard this, and his sword-like eyebrows slightly lowered, exuding a kind of majesty.
"Madam, can I understand your words as that you do not want him to get an official position, and you do not want me to extend an olive branch to him."
He is indeed a smart man. He understands everything immediately without any further explanation.
Shen Yuerong nodded and said, "That's right!"
Since that was the case, Chi Mu no longer concealed it. He took a small step forward, staring at Shen Yuerong, and said, "If you don't want him to get an official position, why are you spreading the news everywhere? Also, do you still have feelings for him?"
Affectionate? Shen Yuerong smiled bitterly and shook her head. There was a helpless smile on her jade-like face, and her hair fluttered gently in the breeze.
But at this moment she was not sure what the reason was for Chi Mu's kindness.
So, there are some things that cannot be said now, at least not now.
She poured a cup of tea and gently turned the lid. Her slender fingers looked like they were carved from white jade, and her movements were graceful and calm.
"Love is a word that is difficult to explain. Let's not talk about it today."
However, Chi Mu obviously didn't want to skip this topic.
Chi Mu stood there, the sunlight shining on him, as if covering him with a layer of golden glow. There was a hint of persistence in his deep eyes, and his thin lips were slightly pursed under his high nose.
“Chen Yuerong, have you never thought about leaving the General’s Mansion?”
"He treats you like this, and everyone in the general's mansion treats you like this, why don't you leave?" Chi Mu was very emotional, his eyes were even slightly red, his slender fingers were clenched into fists, and they were trembling slightly.
Shen Yuerong naturally had to leave. She raised her chin slightly, with a firm look in her eyes.
Not only did she want to leave beautifully, she also wanted to take back everything that belonged to her in the general's mansion.
Of course, she would not let go of any evil person in the mansion.
However, she did not intend to tell Chi Mu about her plan.
After all, she didn't know the regent well.
Shen Yuerong gently stroked her legs that had not yet regained consciousness, and murmured self-deprecatingly: "Look at my legs. If I really leave the General's Mansion, where can I go?"
"Could it be that I'm entangled with the prince? The prince doesn't even dare to see me in the mansion, let alone take me in if I really divorce the general."
When Chi Mu heard the word "divorce", he became quite excited. There was a trace of panic in his eyes, and he said hurriedly: "If you don't divorce him, you will be a woman in the back house, and I will be a man outside the front house. Meeting you will ruin your reputation. I don't want this."
“But if you divorce, you will be alone. At that time, I will let you stay in my palace to repay the kindness of Dr. Shen to me. What’s wrong with that?”
"If someone thinks that you and I have been involved from the beginning, and that we are a pair of accomplices, how are you going to explain this to the world?"
Reputation is like life to a woman. If she loses her reputation, Shen Yuerong doesn’t know whether she will die.
But Chi Mu looked indifferent. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and revealed an unruly smile.
"Why do I need to explain? There is no logic to what I want to do. As long as I want to do it, I will do it."
He never adhered to worldly principles, and naturally did not follow etiquette.
