Chapter 162 Can You Hug Me?

The next day, Jiang Xi was worried about agreeing to Mu Zhao to see Mu Yushu, so he came down from Yushan early.

Ji Xing accompanied him all the way. After all, there were several assassinations, and there were also a group of mysterious people who had not found out their identity to spy on them in secret. Ji Xing was not at ease with Jiang Xi going down the mountain alone and insisted on following her to protect her.

Jiang Xi advised him a few words, and it would be useless.

After she entered Zhangzhou City, she originally wanted to go directly to Mu's mansion. After a brief thought, she turned her horse's head and went to Jiangji Candy Shop.

It was early in the morning that Jiangji Candy Shop was crowded with people. This scene has been going on for a long time. Who told Jiangji to have a unique way to make candy that other shops can't learn?

Looking at the noise of the people and lined up at the gate, Jiang Xi was in a hurry and found the shopkeeper of the candy shop.

The shopkeeper was chosen by Su Ce himself. I heard that he had offended someone and was desperate in Zhangzhou and was about to jump into a well to finish his life. But he met Su Ce who was passing by. He saved him and gave him such a good job. The shopkeeper stayed with Jiang Ji wholeheartedly, and lived a stable life under the protection of Sheng Liulang's reputation, and also fully utilized his talents. He was a great hero for Jiang Ji to reach today.

This great hero naturally recognized Jiang Xi. He was a little happy to see Jiang Jiulang, who rarely appeared, and pulled her in and walked around.

"I'll buy something."

"I'll send it to you if the boss wants something!"

So, Jiang Xi used his privileges to avoid the queueing process, and also took a large bag of the most popular silver silk wrapped in honey in the shop. The master in charge of the shop made it by himself. The silver beard as thin as hair wrapped in honey fruits, and it was packed in a small and exquisite box. It is the favorite snack for women from these high-ranking families in Zhangzhou in recent days.

The idea for limited-edition sales was also produced by Jiang Xi. At that time, he missed a few words of hunger marketing. He heard the shopkeeper's eloquence and modifications, and then he had a limited edition in the style of Dayun. The shopkeeper was still self-taught. He thought that this limited edition was only 100 copies a day and was not allowed to be sold privately. Even high-ranking and big-name players couldn't do it, so they had to send people to queue up to buy... All kinds of methods greatly stimulated everyone's shopping desire, and Jiangji Candy Shop became more and more popular.

When the shopkeeper stuffed a few boxes of silver silk wrapped in honey to Jiang Xi, he used the most common packaging.

"Be careful when Jiulang goes out, don't be seen. Someone can fight to snatch a box of candy! Jiulang holds so many people, maybe there are many people who are jealous."

"I know." If it weren't for Mu Yushu, Jiang Xi wouldn't have done anything that broke the rules. If you do too much of this kind of thing, you'd probably have to smash Jiang Ji's brand.

But Mu Yushu... After she left, she might not be able to eat it.

Jiang Xi is selfish and always wants to give her more. After all, today will be a sad day for Mu Yushu to remember throughout her life. Only by eating more sweet can you suppress the bitterness in your heart.

...After Jiang Xi packed up, thanked the shopkeeper, and went straight to Mu's mansion from Jiangji Candy Shop.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Mu Zhao asked Jiang Xi to visit the side door of Mu's mansion, and had arranged for people to stay here. As soon as Jiang Xi arrived, someone came over and called Jiang Jiulang.

"Zhisanlang has been waiting for you." The servant said with his eyebrows down.

Jiang Xi followed him into Mu's mansion, avoided the people in Mu's mansion, and came to the pavilion where Mu Zhao was alone.

"You are here." Mu Zhao looked up at her drunkenly. There were wine pots scattered on the table in the pavilion. Obviously, he had drunk a lot. Mu Zhao didn't know that he was drunk, and hugged the wine pot and smiled foolishly at Jiang Xi, "It's good that you are here. That silly girl must be looking forward to seeing you before leaving..."

"Why don't you think about it? What if she blames me, wouldn't you do something bad?" Jiang Xi sat down next to Mu Zhao, took a wine glass to fill it up, and drank it all in one go.

"She doesn't know, she's just a stupid girl, a stupid girl!" Mu Zhao scolded a few times, and then choked, "My fourth aunt and two brothers are going to set out today. Mu Shisi Niang... will die. From then on, I will never have the sister of Shisi Niang again. From now on, she can no longer call me Thirteenth brother openly."

He buried his head in his arms, and his carefully tidied bun had long been loose and unfolding.

His eyes were shimmering and his plain white body seemed to be wearing mourning clothes. In fact, according to the rules, the people in the Mu family could not mourn the Mu Che family - but Mu Zhao still used his own way to prepare for this condolence.

Mu Zhao is as simple as washing away the dew all over his body, and there is no longer the blooming flowers and brocades he usually has.

"But she is at least alive, and this is already a blessing in disgrace."

"Yes, a blessing in disgrace." Mu Zhao laughed for a while, asked someone to give him water to wash his face, and stood up, "Follow me and take you to the yard of Shisi Niang...What are you carrying in your hand?"

"Jiang Ji's silver silk wrapped in honey."

"Hmm? This is what Sisi Niang likes to eat the most."

Jiang Xi didn't expect that this was a coincidence.

"But, do you know when the Fourteenth Lady fell in love with silver silk-wrapped honey?"

"……have no idea."

"It was after I told her that the ginger of Jiangji was your ginger. She admired you very much, and since then she fell in love with Jiangji's unique silver silk-wrapped honey."

Jiang Xi was immediately speechless.

Mu Zhao patted her shoulder silently, and then led her all the way to a courtyard. There should have been people here, but now it is lonely and even the crabapple in the courtyard has all the red spring, and it is indescribable.

"The begonia are all thanks." Mu Zhao said this, but looked at the yard with emotion and blushing begonia all over the ground.

If the crabapple flowers had fallen before, Mu Yushu would have packed them up happily, and said that she would use them to make pastries. The prepared pastries would be given to the whole mansion for food every year.

But this year, the crabapple flowers fell miserably, but no one took care of it.

Or, it’s the person who is dealing with it is out of mood.

Mu Zhao thought of the past sighs, and Jiang Xi heard them, and he didn't have the chance to ask him what he sighed. Through the heavy shadows of flowers, she saw the thin figure sitting leaning against the window, and looked at her in a daze.

The two of them collided in the air, and they had some unexpected surprises.

"Fourth Lady?"

"She...why is she here?" Mu Yushu, who was sitting by the window, stood up in panic, and accidentally kicked Xiu Dun over, causing a ping-up noise.

Mu Zhao was also pulled back to his senses by the movement: "She is so excited."

Before he could finish his speech, Mu Yushu trotted out with her skirt.

"Brother Thirteen, don't talk nonsense." She frowned.

Mu Zhao waved his hand and said that when he left first, neither Jiang Xi nor Mu Yushu spoke. He watched them all leave, and even the maids and servants were holding back. Jiang Xi and Mu Yushu were only a few steps away in the crabapple forest in the yard.

"Sorry, the existence of the golden marrow on you was what I told the Fourth Prince. It was also your father who I suspected at the beginning, who asked the Fourth Prince to start investigating him." Jiang Xi said.

Mu Yushu asked her with a lonely face, "...You apologize to me now, are you regretting it?"

"I don't regret it. I will do it again."

"Why?"

"Because your father has carried too many debts of life, he should pay it back." Jiang Xi said softly, but did not mention too many Muche's crimes. Even if this would make her words lack basis, she would not want to destroy the image of Mu Yushu's tall father in her heart.

"Since that's the case, why do you want to say sorry to me again?"

The sudden words made Jiang Xi stunned.

She thought she had heard it wrong.

But Mu Yushu pulled a bright smile at her, with tears hanging on her eyes: "The person who did the wrong is my father, not you, why do you apologize?"

"I just..."

"I have never blamed you, nor did I think you did something wrong." Mu Yushu's bright smile was covered with sadness. "After knowing what my father did, I have learned about it and seen it. It was from that time that I realized that my father was so good to me, and to me, the bright and great father was a cruel executioner to others..."

Layer layers of pictures appeared before her eyes, and Mu Yushu remembered those miserable, sad, and bloody lives.

How many father’s sins are there?

Mu Yushu's gentle voice fell into Jiang Xi's ears, but it all turned into heavy weight, pressing her hard and breathing.

"Your father's crime has nothing to do with you, you are innocent."

"Am I really innocent?" Mu Yushu covered her face and cried, pulling out the golden marrow from her neck. The thing she once regarded as a treasure was now pulled off her neck by her. She looked at the jade pendant, her eyes were filled with water, "I have been weak and sick since I was a child. I was sick every few days after I grew up. My father was afraid that I could not stand it, so he found the golden marrow soon... Could it be the source of all sins?"

Jiang Xi sighed silently, Mu Yushu was really a silly girl as Mu Zhao said.

Seeing her guilty look, she actually calculated the root cause of Mucher's crimes.

"What is bad is never something, but the human heart. Before this golden marrow, he had been working with Yang Zhiyuan for many years." Jiang Xi took the golden marrow from Mu Yushu's hand and hung it on Mu Yushu's neck. "This is a natural spiritual thing and should not be defiled by the dirty human heart desires. If you wear it, it will bless you to be safe in your life and worry-free from now on."

After Mu Yushu let the golden marrow go back, she looked down and then smiled.

"Can you hug me?" She was about to embark on the road to leave alone... She was afraid of the cold.

Jiang Xi hesitated for a while.

Before she could speak, her petite body wrapped in Xiangfeng crashed into her arms, startling the fallen petals on the ground.

"It's a pity that we can no longer see the crabapple in Yunchaoshan."
