My Lady Is Not A Demon

The hot tea on the table is already cold.

In the afternoon, the sun shattered from a corner of the window pane and reflected on the imperial edict, making Chen Mu's eyes, who had been staring for an hour, a little bit sore.

"How to do it."

He leaned back in his chair, his brain constantly analyzing the current situation.

Conventionally speaking, the authority of the imperial edict is undoubtedly the greatest since ancient times, and disrespect to the edict means sending oneself to the guillotine.

But at present the young emperor has not formally pro-government, and it is the queen mother who is in charge of the government.

So the weight of this decree should not be underestimated.

How to choose.

In all fairness, Chen Mu is still more inclined to go to the six doors as a catch.

First, the position is more familiar.

Secondly, he doesn't know how to catch demons, and there is no use going to the Suppression Department.

But the contradiction between him and the young emperor has been buried.

So in terms of the situation, it is wise to hold the Queen Mother's thigh.

"Brother-in-law--"

Qing Luo knocked on the door of the study, leaning into her charming cheek, "Ms. Meng is here to look for you, it seems that something is going on."

Meng Yanqing?

Chen Mu seemed to have thought of something, a smile appeared on the corners of his lips, carefully put the two imperial edicts into the box, and said lightly: "I'm coming right away."

Coming to the living room, Meng Yanqing, dressed in a long skirt, was chatting with Bai Xianyu.

The beautiful woman seems to have been carefully dressed, her clothes are simple and elegant, but she is gorgeous, and the rouge and gouache on her face is slightly thicker than usual, but she doesn't look vulgar.

Hao wears a mutton jade bracelet on his wrist, which makes his skin delicate and smooth.

Sitting there quietly, like a ripe bright red pomegranate, people can't help but want to taste.

Chen Mu couldn't help but admire secretly.

Some women will become more and more beautiful after years of invigoration. Obviously Meng Yanqing is such a unique woman.

However, compared to Bai Xianyu on the other side, she was still overwhelmed after all.

Regardless of her appearance and temperament, as an ordinary peasant woman, Meng Yanqing was obviously lowered by a rank in front of Bai Xianyu.

The only fascinating thing is the ripeness.

This is incomparable to Bai Xianyu.

"Mrs. Meng."

With the lady present, Chen Mu didn't dare to say hello to the usual verbal and regular greetings, just like a gentleman.

And his eyes are clearer, only staring at the other's cheeks.

Don't look at what you shouldn't.

After seeing Chen Mu, Meng Yanqing looked a little unnatural, and stood up to salute: "Chen catches his head."

In fact, she rarely visits Chen Mu's house.

After all, she is a widow, afraid of being gossiped. Furthermore, there is such a perfect woman as Bai Xianyu, who is very uncomfortable to face her every time.

This visit was also helpless.

"Husband, let's talk, Qingluo and I are going to pack things up, so I won't bother you to talk about things."

Bai Xianyu has a gentle voice.

He smiled at Meng Yanqing, and took Qing Luo out of the living room wittily.

"I……"

Meng Yanqing opened her red lips to say something, but seeing that the other party had left, she could only swallow the unspoken words.

The woman drooped her eyebrows and slanted her legs into silence.

Chen Mu poured a cup of tea on his own, staring at the exquisite and plump curves that the beautiful woman could not hide even in the large black satin dress, and asked:

"I wonder if Auntie came to see me..."

Perhaps he felt Chen Mu's aggressive gaze, and the two catkins overlapped on the lap of the woman slightly picked up.

She didn't dare to look at each other directly, and after biting her lips, she took out a delicate little box.

The box opened, but it was a sapphire bracelet.

Unlike the bracelet she wore on her hand, this bracelet was obviously valuable, with a satin-like sheen on the surface.

When Chen Mu picked it up, another layer of halo and yellow beads floated up, like a dream.

The cold from the fingertips was quite comfortable.

"This is……"A little sadness appeared in Meng Yanqing's eyes, and she said softly, "This is my concubine's dowry back then. My mother left it to me. The concubine was originally intended to be given to Xiao Xuan'er, and to her when she marries."

"Now you are going to give it to me?" Chen Mu narrowed his moist dark eyes.

"Um."

Meng Yanqing's voice was faint and mosquito croaking.

"why?"

"..." The woman said quietly and leaned in a low voice. "The concubine heard that Chen Tautou was going to be an official in the capital, so...it was a gift."

"Creditable token?"

"what?"

The beautiful woman's apricot eyes opened, she felt a little daughter-like, and waved her hand quickly after reacting, "No, no, this is..."

Anxiously, he accidentally knocked over the tea cup on the table.

The tea suddenly leaned and spilled, and the water splashed on the dress, and the beautiful woman got up quickly in fright.

When he was at a loss, a man holding a cloth puffed in his hand and gently wiped the water stains on the woman's skirt.

The beautiful woman was stunned, her body stiff as a puppet.

It took more than ten seconds for him to react, and he pushed Chen Mu away, backing back and pointing at him: "You...you..."

The pretty face of the woman has two red clouds flying up, her clothes are gorgeous, and she is even more beautiful.

But the eyes were cold like an ice front.

The reason why she came to Chen Mu's house was because of the presence of Bai Xianyu. She hoped that Chen Mu could restrain herself and make no special moves.

Unexpectedly, the other party is still so unscrupulous.

"Sorry, I was so close to the lady on weekdays, I accidentally forgot." Chen Mu smiled and apologized.

"But I'm not your wife!"

Meng Yanqing grabbed the box on the table and was about to leave, and was grabbed by Chen Mu: "Okay, no kidding, I know what you are here for."

Meng Yanqing nailed her body and pressed her lips tightly.

"For Zhang Awei, that kid."

Chen Mu forcibly pulled her onto the chair and sat down, poured a cup of tea again, and said with a smile, "You are testing the cadres."

Give gifts and seduce?

From the moment the woman came, Chen Mu had guessed the intention of the other party.

It's nothing more than that he was going to the capital and was afraid of throwing Zhang Awei down halfway, so he came to the door to hint.

Meng Yanqing dropped a pair of shui apricot eyes and did not speak.

Be regarded as the default.

On the day Chen Mu became a head-catcher in Qingyu County, she was keenly aware that this guy will not be a thing in the pool in the future.

That's why she asked Zhang Awei to hug Chen Mu's thigh tightly.

Going to make a bet.

Even on weekdays, he didn't hesitate to sell some hues in front of Chen Mu and add some bargaining chips.

For example, before wearing a talisman to Chen Mu, he deliberately got close to each other.

She is not a young woman anymore, and she doesn't know that what Chen Mu sometimes says to her is actually molesting, but she can only pretend not to understand.

Even sometimes, deliberately expressing some emotions, let the other party take the initiative to tease.

How can this world simply ask for it without paying.

Since you want to tie Chen Mu's thigh and follow him to the top, you must know how to give and know how to sacrifice.

Although she did have a good impression of Chen Mu, she did not fall in love with each other.

Age is a wall of reason.

The older you are, the thicker and thicker the wall that is stuck in your heart will be, and your heart will be firmly trapped, making it difficult to escape from prison.

"It surprised me a little bit that you came to me so late. I thought you would come to me the day I left office."

Chen Mu said with a smile.

Meng Yanqing remained silent, not knowing how to speak.

She is also struggling these days, waiting for Chen Mu to come forward, but the other party seems to have forgotten.

Until today, after hearing that Chen Mu had received the imperial decree, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she came to the door to give gifts to express her feelings.

Although she knew that Chen Mu was very good to Zhang Awei.

Can be called a true friend.

But the other party's delay in expressing her attitude made her inevitably anxious and scared, for fear that Chen Mu was immersed in joy and forgot about this friend.

She originally planned to ask Zhang Awei to call Chen Mu over, and even prepared some sacrifices.

But in the end, he couldn't make up his mind.

Especially looking at the little daughter's clean eyes, she was ashamed, hesitated again and again, and came to Chen Mu with the most precious gift.

Although the bracelet was not given by her mother...

Unexpectedly, Chen Mu would still molest his wife when his wife was at home.

This made her feel humiliated.

It was as if in the eyes of the other person, she was really a shameless woman. If it wasn't for the child, she would definitely shake her face away.

"Actually you still don't understand me."

Chen Mu sighed and asked slowly, "Has that kid Zhang Awei mentioned this in the past few days?"

Meng Yanqing shook his head: "No, he didn't say anything, and he didn't plan to let you take him to the capital."

"So, you are not as good as your son at all."

Chen Mu smiled.

Meng Yanqing turned his head, with a puzzled expression.

Chen Mu said indifferently: "Although Ah Wei is an old man and too dull, he is not a fool. He knows me well and knows that I will never abandon my own friends halfway."

Hearing this, Meng Yanqing's eyes widened: "He knows you will take him to the capital?"

"He doesn't know, but he trusts me."

Chen Mu sipped his tea and smiled, "Do you think it's really because of you that I take care of Zhang Awei on weekdays? Meng Yanqing, not everything in this world needs to be planned or traded. Fortunately, Zhang Awei is not like you."

The beautiful woman was criticized by Chen Mu, her face flushed.

Especially the other party is still a junior.

She bit her lip with her teeth and asked softly after a while: "So, you will take Xiaowei to the capital, right?"

"If I don't take him, will I take you? Are you willing?"

Chen Mu didn't have a good air.

In his plan, he was originally going to take Zhang Awei with him. After all, he was unfamiliar with the land and he needed a trusted subordinate around him.

Besides, based on his current situation, arranging a position for Zhang Awei is a trivial matter.

"you--"

Meng Yanqing stared at Chen Mu in annoyance, and finally lowered his eyes, and said in gratitude, "Thank you."

At this moment, she felt a little lost in her heart.

I came here rashly this time, perhaps leaving a bad impression in Chen Mu's heart.

I also blame myself for being too calm.

"Okay, you can go back. Let's get together tonight, and then tidy up the belongings that should be cleaned up. As for the yard, you can sell it if you want to sell it, and keep it if you don't want to sell it..."

"and many more!"

The more Meng Yanqing listened, the more ill-informed he was, "I want to go with my concubine too?"

"You don't want to go?"

Chen Mu frowned and said to himself, "I thought you were going to go together. After all, the college in Beijing is much better than here, and Xuan'er can also receive a better education. Also, there are too many winds, flowers and snow, and Zhang Awei’s kid might be afraid. I'll be taken bad too..."

"Go, I am willing to go!"

Originally, Meng Yanqing was still hesitating, but after hearing Chen Mu's words, he quickly stated his position.

Xiao Xuan'er being able to go to school in the capital will undoubtedly be of great help to her future, and it will be easier to enter the Imperial College in the future.

But it was the eldest son who really made her resolve.

The capital over there is extremely prosperous and popular, and if Xiaowei's child can't stand the temptation to be taken astray, it will be really troublesome.

I must take care of myself to prevent my son from getting into trouble.

But then she thought of her current situation again and frowned.

Even if the yard is sold, can I buy a suitable house in the capital? Prices may also be much higher, and expenditure is a big problem.

"Oh yes, this time the emperor and the queen mother gave me orders."

Chen Mu drew out a small stack of silver notes and handed it over, "The emperor said that we were meritorious in handling the case, and he specially rewarded a hundred taels of gold. The tall man also has it, including Zhang Awei, so give the money to Awei, it is the hard work of that kid."

"This...is this true?"

Looking at the two thousand taels of silver bills, Meng Yanqing opened her lips slightly, a little suspicious.

Chen Mu helplessly said: "Okay, then you can go to the study with me to read the imperial decree, do I need to lie to you about this kind of thing?"

"No, no."

The beautiful woman waved her hands again and again.

She is an ordinary citizen who dares to read the imperial edict, and her legs are probably trembling when she holds it in her hand.

Seeing Meng Yanqing still hesitating, Chen Mu said: "It's too little. Although the emperor said it is a hundred taels of gold, it's actually not too much. Anyway, I'm not corrupt. I'm a good official with two sleeves."

"Pump!"

Being so mocked by Chen Mu, the beautiful woman couldn't help laughing.

Although there was still some doubt in his heart, he picked up the bank note on the table and looked at Chen Mu with a complicated expression: "Thank you."

"If you want to, thank your son."Chen Mu waved his hand, "Go and pack your belongings. We will have a party tonight, Houtian, we will leave for the capital."

"good."

Meng Yanqing nodded her head and got up to leave.

When he walked to the door, Chen Mu suddenly stopped the other party and handed back the small box with the bracelet: "I was really sorry just now, I didn't think about being frivolous."

Looking at the man's sincerely apologetic gaze, the beautiful woman avoids her gaze, and a touch of cloud climbs into the neck of the collar, shining brightly.

She took the small box and turned and left, her skirt turned like a dance, leaving a touch of sweetness.

Chen Mu stared at the beautiful back of the beautiful woman and murmured, "Awei, Awei, you brother, I have settled in my life."

...

The sky is still drizzling.

The light filaments and hazy clouds add a bit of blurry dreams to this small town.

Meng Yanqing walked on the quiet path with a slight smile on her lips.

Although this visit was a bit rash, at least one message was confirmed from Chen Mu's words that Xiaowei would never be discarded by him.

She firmly believes that Chen Mu will become a big man one day.

As long as Xiaowei stays with him, there will be a day of prosperous growth, and even a prominent family will be built.

"very nice."

The beautiful woman raised her pretty face, letting the light rain wet her beautiful face.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she was alone in the deep and secluded mansion, quietly watching the rain in the sky, enjoying the most luxurious beauty.

At that time she seemed to be only nine years old, as old as Xiao Xuan'er.

Memory began to blur.

That should have been Wu You's carefree and most beautiful time.

Although the reality later shattered all of her beauty, she did not resent her mother, because her mother was also a poor person.

Especially after she had a child, she could better understand the painstaking effort of being a mother.

"It's so beautiful."

Looking at the hazy cyan rain curtain, Meng Yanqing stretched out her arms and took a deep breath, overflowing with a beautiful smile.

At this moment, she looked like a girl, letting go of some worries.

The tunic splashed with tea was stuck to the skin, and she could feel the coolness, but the woman remembered the moment Chen Mu wiped the handkerchief...

Looking back now, it seems...not annoying.

The cheeks started to heat up.

Meng Yanqing quickly suppressed the slightly faster heartbeat, and shook her head with a wry smile: "It really is a shameless woman."

The beautiful woman sighed and walked towards her house.

"Cough cough cough..."

A coughing sound came from not far away, frightening her.

Meng Yanqing turned her head and looked around, only to find that a man in a blue shirt was sitting on a stone step not far away, coughing violently while covering her lips with a handkerchief.

The man is slim, and his temples are slightly white, but he looks less than forty.

Thinking of what she had done just now, she didn't know if she had been seen by the other party. The beautiful woman's cheeks were hot and embarrassing, she hurriedly speeded up her pace.

"Xiaoqing..."

The man's weak and tired voice penetrated the rain curtain quite clearly and fell in the woman's ears.

Meng Yanqing paused.

She turned around and stared at each other suspiciously: "Are you calling me?"

The man coughed twice again, looked down at the blood on the handkerchief, slowly raised his handsome and white face, and smiled slightly:

"I didn't expect you to be here, it's fate."

Meng Yanqing was confused at first, but when she slowly saw the man's face, she seemed to remember something, her eyes gradually widened, her face suddenly pale.

"Kang Dang--"

The woman was so frightened that she stepped back and trembled all over.

The box in his hand fell to the ground.

The knocked open box rolled out a circle of jade bracelets, slowly rolling under the man's feet, stained with a little rain and cement soil.

The man picked up the bracelet and looked at it for a long time, his eyes seemed to have infinite memories: "You still have it. I remember...this bracelet was given to you by the son of General Hong."

"Second brother..."

The woman's pale and beautiful lips trembled slowly.
