Chapter 187 Surprise(1/2)
Looking at Mu Qingyu's expressionless face, he felt a little itchy. Suddenly he felt a little nostalgic for her before, although she had some resentment, but there was expectation in her eyes.
But he secretly shook his head to shake these thoughts away from his mind. If she was really the same as before, he would only be more disgusted.
So in fact, what really made him look at her was that she was cold and cold, looking at people with cold eyes.
Chu Xinyuan was a little suspicious, what was wrong with him? Mu Qingyu clearly showed her dislike for him and had no intention of it. She kept away from strangers and was as cold as ice. But he paid attention to her instead?
While thinking wildly, the carriage stopped.
Mu Qingyu opened the car curtain and got out of the car.
When Chu Xinyuan was about to get off the car, Mu Qingyu glanced at him and said calmly: "Your Highness, it's better not to get off, it won't take long!"
The crowd in the distance were dressed in ordinary clothes. Yue Xi, who was following the car, twitched the corner of his mouth hard, showing a strong sense of disgust. His prince was disliked.
The movements of Chu Xinyuan's men stagnated, and suddenly he raised the corners of his lips, showing a meaningful smile, then sat back and said: "That's fine!"
He didn't object at all, and Mu Qingyu didn't care.
At this time, the carriage stopped in front of the carpenter's shop. As soon as Mu Qingyu walked in, the carpenter's apprentice who was tinkering with something immediately stood up to greet him, and went to call the master out.
Mu Qingyu paid enough money, and the things he made were not too troublesome. He handed the things to Mu Qingyu, and Mu Qingyu paid the remaining money and left the carpentry shop.
Chu Xinyuan saw Mu Qingyu getting into the car holding a rectangular box, and couldn't help but wonder: "What did you buy?"
Although he didn't get off the carriage, he looked through the window and saw that it was just a carpenter's shop.
Mu Qingyu responded casually: "Little thing!"
Chu Xinyuan reached out to get it, he wanted to see it.
In fact, it's just out of curiosity. What can Mu Qingyu, a woman, buy in a carpenter's shop? There are so many jewelry shops, clothing shops, rouge shops, and silk and satin shops. Don't the things in them smell good? That's what is suitable for women.
Come on!
But Mu Qingyu reached out and blocked his hand. She looked at him with a smile on her face, but her tone was very serious: "My lord, when we first met, you were clean and arrogant.
I think the way you look is very good, and I hope the prince will continue to do so! In fact, we are not familiar with each other!"
Are you reminding him to keep his distance again?
Chu Xinyuan looked at her. She was smiling, but her smile was distant and distant.
He leaned back slightly, changed to a comfortable position and leaned against the back wall, closing his eyes, looking very cooperative.
After a while, the carriage stopped again.
Mu Qingyu got off the car again.
Chu Xinyuan looked through the car window again. This was a blacksmith shop!
Chu Xinyuan: "..."
What kind of weird places are you going to?
Mu Qingyu brought another box, but this one looked much smaller.
Chu Xinyuan wanted to ask, but he was rebuffed before, so he wisely shut up.
But he didn't expect that the mystery would be revealed so quickly.
Because Mu Qingyu opened the box.
The corners of Chu Xinyuan's lips raised slightly. She didn't tell him before, pretending to be mysterious. Are you ready to tell him now?
Seeing the things inside, Chu Xinyuan was confused. A pile of wood, a few iron rings, and some iron nails and wooden wedges. What are they used for?
Chu Xinyuan restrained himself and did not ask.
Then, he saw Mu Qingyu take out all these things and put them in the carriage, big and small, long and short, thick and thin, iron and wood, all laid out in a large area.
During this time, she also glanced at Chu Xinyuan.
For no other reason, although the space of the carriage is not small, it is not wide when two people are seated and these things are placed. Moreover, Chu Xinyuan's long legs are still stretched out very comfortably.
Feeling the deep disgust in Mu Qingyu's eyes, Chu Xinyuan put away her long legs and made room. Mu Qingyu was indeed satisfied.
Then, Mu Qingyu no longer had him in her eyes.
He watched with dazzling eyes as Mu Qingyu pieced together the bits and pieces.
After finishing the fight, Chu Xinyuan was stunned. These were actually...two legs? Legs with feet!
He saw with his own eyes a pile of iron pieces, iron rings, wooden sticks, wooden wedges, and wooden wedges forming a very detailed shape of a leg, which was then wrapped in leather. If the color hadn't been slightly wrong, and he had seen it with his own eyes, he would have almost thought it was real.
Two human legs.
Mu Qingyu was very satisfied when she saw the lightweight finished product.
This is a prosthetic limb that she designed herself. The materials used in it, even if it is just a small piece of wood as big as a palm, are not simple. When splicing them together, there must be no mistakes.
Taking the prosthesis and putting it in the big box, Mu Qingyu smiled happily.
Mu Mingyuan is also ready to make a move. Grandpa has legs, at least he is no longer at the mercy of others like before.
She has no requirements for Mu Zhai, and there are so few servants that she is almost unpopular, but the current Weiwu Hou Mansion is different.
The servants who should be assigned there have all been assigned, and the courtyards that should be repaired are being repaired one after another.
Although the current owner of Weiwuhou Mansion is only Pei Ji.
In the past, the Pei family was also a big business, but after the Pei family was targeted by Mu Mingyuan more than ten years ago, those from the sidelines were afraid of being implicated, so they drew a clear line and left.
Pei Ji doesn't care about this kind of family members who can only share happiness but not adversity.
What he cares about is that his granddaughter actually spent so much money on a dilapidated house and for a lonely old man like him to restore the Mighty Marquis Mansion to its former glory step by step.
He would rather his granddaughter use the money to live a good life. He is an old man and has only a few years to live. The Weiwu Marquis Mansion may not be saved, so why waste it?
But Mu Qingyu doesn’t think so.
Mu Qingyu said: "Grandpa, when you are here, Weiwuhou Mansion is here! You have to let Weiwuhou Mansion be well, otherwise, my uncle will feel uncomfortable when he comes back!"
Over the years, there has been no news from Pei Shili. Pei Ji's heart went from hope to despair, and he could no longer deceive himself into thinking that his son was still alive.
But when Mu Qingyu said this, a glimmer of hope seemed to arise in his desperate heart. Maybe no news is good news!
Since Yu'er firmly believes that her uncle is still alive, doesn't he, the father, have even less confidence?
So now Pei Ji has changed from his previous lifeless look with no light in his eyes.
When the Mu family took the dowry receipt, he certainly felt sorry for his granddaughter, regardless of life and death, and went there with the intention of dying. But for him, was it not a turning point in fate?
If he hadn't gone, he would probably never have any improvement in this life, and would only wither like the weeds in autumn!
Pei Ji was very happy when Mu Qingyu's carriage arrived. A few days ago, Mu Qingyu gave him a special chair with two wheels installed under the seat. When it is shaken, the wheels can move forward and backward.
Pei Ji didn't need any other support to walk. He rocked the wheelchair by himself and even ran ahead of the servants.
He smiled and said: "Yu'er is back? The weather is very hot. I asked someone to prepare iced plum soup for you. It's just right. Drink it to relieve the heat."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw someone else in the carriage.
The car curtain was lifted, revealing Chu Xinyuan's noble and handsome face.
Pei Ji was even happier. There were some strange rumors on the street a few days ago, and he was worried after hearing them. If he hadn't seen that there was nothing unusual about his granddaughter's face, he could hardly help but ask in person. Now Chu
Xinyuan's appearance meant that the rumors were self-defeating. He said happily: "His Royal Highness is here too, which is great."
Chu Xinyuan smiled and said: "Qingyu said that she wanted to give grandpa a surprise!"
Pei Ji was very happy. It turned out that those rumors were false. The two of them had a very good relationship.
Mu Qingyu: "..."
Looking at Pei Ji's smiling and relieved face, what can she do? Of course she can only acquiesce. She knows that Chu Xinyuan has a purpose, but she knows that Chu Xinyuan's purpose is not with Pei Ji. After all, the current Weiwu Marquis
Except for the temporary name of the Marquis Mansion, it has no strength. It can neither help Chu Xinyuan nor pose any threat to him.
In view of this, he will not be disadvantageous to the Pei family.
As long as you are not using Pei Ji, even if you are using her, it is not a loss if you can change Pei Ji's smile.
She glanced at Chu Xinyuan. The man in dark brocade clothes had a face like a crown jade, with red lips and white teeth. His heroic demeanor was reserved but his nobility was obvious.
He is indeed a handsome and handsome young man, but Mu Qingyu always feels very inconsistent in his heart.
Probably when I first came to this world, I saw his cold-hearted, cruel and impersonal side. Now that I see him smiling like spring breeze, I always feel that it is particularly fake. I am also secretly wary in my heart, so I can't appreciate the male version of the prosperous age.
Beautiful.
This person who exudes indifference in his core wants to pretend to be approachable. Why is he so weird?
The two of them were welcomed in by Pei Ji.
When Mu Qingyu saw that Chu Xinyuan and Pei Ji were becoming more and more speculative as they talked, Mu Qingyu became more and more wary. She interrupted their conversation and said, "Grandpa, I brought you a good thing!"
The reason why Pei Ji treats Chu Xinyuan well is because he hopes that he can treat Mu Qingyu gently. He loves this poor granddaughter the most in his heart. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said: "What good thing?"
Yue Xi, the man who had been working as a piece of wood for a long time, quickly handed over the big box.
Mu Qingyu had no servants. After getting off the carriage, Yue Xi, who followed the carriage, naturally became a follower.
Opening the box and seeing the prosthetic leg, Pei Ji wondered: "This is..."
