I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

"Even if he wants to kill everyone in the world, you still want to marry him?"

Xu Shu got off the carriage and walked on the road alone. He passed by the gate of Bai Mansion, but hesitated and didn't want to go in. In the end, he took a long detour to go to his own house.

Wu Yong and his friends were discussing having a meal at Muyi Tower. As soon as they went out, they ran into Xu Shu, who smiled and pulled him along.

After searching for a while, he didn't see Mu Jinghua, so he asked in surprise, "Brother, where's Xiao Mujin?"

Seeing Xu Shu in a state of dismay, he was startled: "Didn't Qi Huairen say that it was just a fever and nothing serious?"

"It's nothing." Hearing Wu Yong's worry, Xu Shu shook his head at him, "It's all right now."

He was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so he took out the wedding invitation from his arms and said, "I came to give you the wedding invitation. I have been busy recently, so he didn't come with me."

"Is that so?" Wu Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the wedding invitation, and teased, "You used to wear a wedding invitation wherever you went. Is it possible that I only see you and not Mu Jinghua this time? I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

"Don't be offended, brother."

Xu Shi smiled at him and said, "The expenses for going to Muyi Tower will be charged to me. I didn't treat you well when you came to the capital."

"Brother Xu, you are too polite." Jiang Xiao shook his head. "Yuzhou is developing rapidly now, and we are no longer the people who couldn't even get enough food to eat. Coming to Beijing is not a burden for us."

Xu Shu smiled at him and said, "Jiang Yu is a talented guy. He can manage Yuzhou well."

"This is obviously all your credit." Xu Shi interjected dissatisfiedly, "We are all looking forward to your return."

"Go back." Xu Shu replied in confusion, "I will be going back soon."

"Really?" Everyone couldn't help but jump for joy when they heard his words, but seeing that Xu Shu was absent-minded, they consciously gave Xu Shu some space.

After they left, Xu Shu squatted on the doorstep alone, took out the cigarette he had taken from Mu Tonghai last time, put it in his mouth, but did not light it.

I squatted like that for a very long time.

-

Seeing that Xu Shu had not returned for a long time, Mu Jinghua finally couldn't help but go out to look for him.

He had been in a bad mood since his last illness and was inexplicably reluctant to go out, but today he felt a little more excited and was not so reluctant to go out.

Because, according to the date, Qiao Jianhong should die.

Thinking of Aqiao who came to him this morning to look for medicine, Mu Jinghua smiled softly: "Maybe Aqiao will really give you the medicine."

After all, Aqiao is different from him. Even though he is just a servant, he is a servant protected by a wealthy family and has not suffered from the hardships of this chaotic world.

Naturally, you don’t know how precious it is to be alive.

Mu Jinghua didn't mind teaching him a lesson. After all, he was someone who was somewhat similar to him. He actually didn't want to see him die a violent death.

But in this case, Qiao Jianhong probably wouldn't die.

Mu Jinghua sighed softly, but soon persuaded himself: "After all, Xu Shu doesn't want you to die, so I will just give you a way to live."

"Besides, I am getting married soon. If I commit murder, it will be very unlucky."

Mu Jinghua thought so and reluctantly accepted the result. He went to find Xu Shu happily, thinking about how to act coquettishly and get Xu Shu to praise him.

But when he got out of the door, he saw only the coachman but not Xu Shu.

"Where did he go?" Mu Jinghua was a little puzzled. It was rare that Xu Shu didn't come back to see him immediately. Could it be that something big had happened?

The driver did not hide it from Mu Jinghua: "Mr. Xu said he wanted to go back home and relax."

"Relax?" Mu Jinghua frowned, his voice instantly turned cold, "He's in a bad mood? Who did that? But what did the emperor send him to do?"

"I haven't heard of that." The driver didn't dare tell Mu Jinghua about meeting A Qiao on the road. He just pretended not to know and asked Mu Jinghua to ask Xu Shu himself.

Mu Jinghua had no intention of finding out about Xu Shu from an outsider. After hearing this, he waved his hand and asked the coachman to prepare the horse and take him to Xu Mansion to find Xu Shu.

Now that Xu Shu has become the top scholar, the house he bought can be named after him and called the Xu Mansion.

Mu Jinghua thought of Xu Shu wearing the top scholar's uniform this morning, and couldn't help but be moved for a moment, then he clenched his fists.

When the carriage arrived at Xu's house, Xu Shu was still squatting at the door in a daze.

Mu Jinghua saw him from afar in such a state of disarray, and felt very uncomfortable. In an instant, he thought of all the possible disasters.

Could it be that the emperor disliked Xu Shu and didn't allow him to become the top scholar?

If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Even if he is not the top scholar, Xu Shu is still very good. Who in the capital can compare with him?

As for the fact that he couldn't become the husband of the top scholar, he had never thought about it. From the beginning to the end, he just wanted to be Xu Shu's husband.

Or, did the emperor find an excuse to let Xu Shu return to Yuzhou?

Going back to Yuzhou is not a bad idea, but their wedding will have to be delayed.

Wait, could it be that the emperor didn't allow Xu Shu to marry him? After all... after all, in the so-called original text that Qiao Wan said, he entered the palace and became the emperor...

Mu Jinghua suddenly felt a chill.

No.

Mu Jinghua, who had originally planned to comfort Xu Shu first no matter what, froze in place because of this thought, unable to accept it.

In his field of vision, Xu Shu, who was only a few steps away from him, gradually became blurred, and the sounds around him suddenly disappeared. He only felt a chill and thought of the tormenting dream.

In the dream, he entered the palace.

She was stripped naked, by the eunuchs... by the palace maids, by...

No.

No.

No!

"Little Hibiscus?" When Xu Shu saw Mu Jinghua coming, he was a little reserved at first. He walked up to him hesitantly, but did not dare to meet the boy's gaze.

"You." Xu Shu coughed lightly. Noticing that the boy didn't move, he guessed that he probably knew it already. "Do you already know it?"

Mu Jinghua didn't respond, but didn't refute either.

Xu Shu thought he didn't know what to say and sighed softly. In this situation, he didn't know what to say.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with threatening A-Jiao.

Xu Shu thought that he was alone and helpless at that time, so such behavior could be considered very smart.

There was nothing wrong with drugging Qiao Jianhong, Xu Shu persuaded himself, that guy might have bullied Xiao Mujin on the road, and Xiao Mujin was just taking revenge on him.

This is understandable.

But...but that poison was made by Mu Jinghua.

Thinking of Qiao Jianhong's miserable state on the bed, Xu Shu felt confused. He always thought that Xiao Mujin was simple, kind, strong and brilliant, but he didn't know...

Little did she know that Mu Jinghua, who had slept in the same bed with her for such a long time, was also capable of making such a poison.

Is he really doting on Mu Jinghua too much?

Xu Shu sighed again: "In fact, I already knew that you were raising snakes in the back hills. I also support your plan to drive Du Wanbai away."

"I've been hurt and I'm sensitive. I just think that I didn't give you enough sense of security."

"After your voice recovered, I never went to work in town again. I stayed with you every day."

"I taught you arithmetic, sent you to study medicine, let you run the Muyi Building, and taught you herbs and business. All these things were just to hope that you could focus on loving yourself."

"But little Hibiscus, did I do something wrong?"

"Did my indulgence push you into a deeper abyss of paranoia, causing you to become... a person that even I find strange."

"you……"

Would you be as cruel as in the original novel, killing people without any emotion and exterminating the entire clan of a person with just a few words?

Even if these people are the ones you greeted a few days ago, or you just passed by them.

Xu Shu wanted to ask, but felt that this was too much and would easily hurt Mu Jinghua's feelings.

What if I misunderstood?

Xu Shu thought.

Then he sighed again.

He lowered his head and gently kissed the top of Mu Jinghua's head before whispering, "Little Mu Jin, I want to hear your explanation."

"As long as you explain."

Mu Jinghua remained silent.
