Seeing the conditions proposed by Mu Jinghua, Xiao Ran couldn't help but change his opinion of Mu Jinghua. He didn't expect that this weak and mute little boy was the real ruthless person.

They were just two troublemakers, Xiao Ran didn't care, he just asked Mu Jinghua: "Can you help me persuade Xu Shu?"

Mu Jinghua glanced at him, then lowered his eyes and began to write: "Just follow what Xu Shu said and let Yichun Tower fend for itself, and he will consider giving you the blueprints of the crossbow cart."

"As for the conditions under which Xu Shu gives you the blueprints, I can't make the decision."

Xiao Ran frowned: "Why do you all have such a big grudge against Yichunlou?"

Qi Huairen watched for a while, thinking about how Xu Shu carried Mu Jinghua to the clinic, and he finally understood.

However, as a doctor himself, he actually does not agree with Xu Shu's statement of "letting people fend for themselves".

Even if Yichunlou did do something wrong to Mu Jinghua, it has nothing to do with those prostitutes, right?

But Mu Jinghua was still writing something on the paper, and Qi Huairen didn't want to interrupt.

Because he knew the whole story and understood Xu Shu's good intentions, Mu Jinghua easily understood Qi Huairen's attitude, but he did not want to point out the whole thing.

I just vaguely feel that when people reach a certain level, they will be more tolerant and forgiving towards the people around them.

But he was able to see through things that even the county magistrate could not see through just because of his good relationship with Xu Shu. So what would the world look like in Xu Shu's eyes?

What would he look like in Xu Shu's eyes?

Mu Jinghua was thinking and writing at the same time. In the past few days, Xu Shu had urged him to practice calligraphy at home every day. He already knew quite a few characters. Although he wrote some of them clumsily, he could still express the general meaning clearly.

Xiao Ran was also a smart man, and he understood everything immediately. When he saw the contents on Mu Jinghua's paper, he couldn't help but laugh at himself and said, "It turns out that I am stupid. It's really impossible for a summer insect to talk about ice."

"I didn't expect that Xu Shu let Yichunlou fend for itself, not because he disregarded the lives of those prostitutes, but because he was considering them."

"The madam told me that the building was heavily in debt and could not afford the medical expenses of so many people. But I didn't know that she was wearing gold and silver and had a lot of money. Even the bowls and chopsticks she used for eating were made of pure gold."

"I stepped forward, seemingly helping those guys and girls, but in fact I was helping the madam, allowing her to resolve the matter without any effort. In the future, when Yichunlou reopens with gongs and drums, it is still those poor people who are coerced."

Seeing that he understood, Mu Jinghua breathed a sigh of relief and wrote down a final sentence: "Those two people have been cut off from the roots. Let them stay with you for now. I will go find Xu Shu."

After Xiao Ran nodded, Mu Jinghua also followed Xu Shu's example and turned back to the guest room.

But as soon as I entered the room, I heard the sound of water coming from behind the screen. It turned out that Xu Shu was taking a bath.

Mu Jinghua's ears turned red. Just as he was thinking about leaving, Xu Shu's voice came over: "Xiao Mujin, what were you whispering to Xiao Ran about?"

His tone was lazy and a bit nonchalant, but Mu Jinghua vaguely felt that Xu Shu was not very happy.

But Xu Shu was taking a shower now, and he, a young man, couldn't go in and talk to Xu Shu directly. Just as he was thinking about what to do, he saw Xu Shu walking out from behind the screen with wet hair.

He was only wearing a black undershirt, still a little damp, and leaned lazily against the screen: "Little Hibiscus."

Xu Shu looked at him but didn't smile, "You are very naughty."

Mu Jinghua's heart skipped a beat and he panicked. He subconsciously tried to pull Xu Shu's clothes, but after taking two steps, he saw Xu Shu step back.

Mu Jinghua's eyes instantly turned red, and he explained to Xu Shu with trembling fingers: "I didn't, don't blame me. I just told Xiao Ran that Yichun Tower should not..."

His mind was in a mess, and he had lost all the calmness and composure he had just shown when facing Xiao Ran. When he noticed Xu Shu looking at him with a cold face, tears began to flow down his face unconsciously.

"Cry...why are you crying?" Xu Shu panicked when he saw him crying. He stepped forward and handed him a handkerchief helplessly. "I...I don't blame you. Don't cry. Am I too fierce? Don't cry, little hibiscus..."

Mu Jinghua felt extremely aggrieved. He didn't want to listen to anything Xu Shu said. He just looked at him with red eyes, stubborn and pitiful.

Xu Shu's heart almost melted, and she softened her voice to coax him: "I just want to ask what you and Xiao Ran talked about. You two were whispering, and I felt a little... Okay, don't cry."

Mu Jinghua took his handkerchief and wiped her tears slowly. As soon as she finished wiping, her eyes became red again when she heard Xu Shu's words.

Xu Shu saw Mu Jinghua's tears falling more and more, and vaguely realized that he would not recover for a while, so he had to pull Mu Jinghua to sit down and asked him seriously: "Did I speak too harshly and scare you?"

Mu Jinghua pursed his lips and shook his head.

Xu Shu raised his hand to wipe his tears and asked again: "Is it because I said you were not well behaved that you were unhappy?"

Mu Jinghua looked away and shook his head again.

Xu Shu's hands froze in the air, feeling helpless and wanting to laugh: "Why do you think I misunderstood that you and Xiao Ran were doing something bad?"

Mu Jinghua looked back at Xu Shu, but still shook his head.

In fact, he couldn't tell what emotion this was. He just felt inexplicably irritated. Xu Shu would not marry him, so why should he care about talking to Xiao Ran? What's more, the latter was the county magistrate. How could a young man with no clear background like him be looked down upon by him?

Xu Shu was really confused sometimes. Mu Jinghua cried and thought, did he understand how bad a person like him was? Did he understand that being so nice to him would only make him more greedy...

Xu Shu asked a lot of possible reasons, and the more he asked, the more outrageous they became. When he asked, "Is it because Qu Xiu's cooking tonight was bad?" Mu Jinghua finally couldn't help laughing.

"Alright, alright." Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that you've laughed, you're not allowed to cry anymore. Your eyes are going to get swollen."

Mu Jinghua nodded embarrassedly. After being diverted by Xu Shu for so long, he was no longer as sad as before. He stood up and took out a pen and paper, ready to explain to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu stopped him from moving and said helplessly: "No need, I know what you are talking about. I was just asking you a question. Look at you, you cry so much."

Mu Jinghua's ears turned red, and he asked Xu Shu, "How did you know?"

"You guys are in the yard, and I'm in the house. We're not a million miles apart, so how could I not hear clearly? And I have very good hearing." Xu Shu smiled and pinched his face, "But I didn't hear the terms you discussed with Xiao Ran. Are you going to tell me, Xiao Mu Jin?"

Speaking of this, Mu Jinghua had a bit of a rough time, and was worried that Xu Shu would think he was too cruel.

But it was impossible to hide this kind of thing from Xu Shu, so Mu Jinghua finally took out a pen and paper and wrote it down.

After Xu Shu saw what he wrote, he was silent for a few seconds, and finally said something ambiguous: "How cruel."

Mu Jinghua's heart suddenly tightened.
