The hot tea on the table has already been cold.

The afternoon sun shone in a corner from the pane, reflecting on the imperial edict, causing Chen Mu's eyes, who had been staring for a full hour, to appear a little sour.

"What should I do?"

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

In conventional terms, since ancient times, the authority of imperial edicts is undoubtedly the greatest, and disrespectfulness of the edict means sending oneself to the guillotine.

But at present, the young emperor has not formally taken charge of the government, and the empress dowager is in charge of the government.

Therefore, the weight of this imperial edict cannot be underestimated.

How to make a decision.

To be fair, Chen Mu is more inclined to be a constable at Liusanmen.

First of all, I am more familiar with the position.

Secondly, he doesn't know how to catch monsters, so going to the Demon Suppression Department has no use.

But the conflict between him and the young emperor has been buried. Even if the other party is magnanimous now, he may be in trouble in the future.

So from the perspective of the situation, it is wise to hold the empress dowager's thigh.

"Brother-in-law--"

Qingluo knocked on the study door and entered the bright and charming cheek, "Mrs. Meng is here to find you, it seems that something is wrong."

Meng Yanqing?

Chen Mu seemed to think of something, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, carefully put the two imperial edicts into the box, and said lightly: "I'll come right away."

When he arrived at the living room, Meng Yanqing, wearing a plain dress, was chatting with Bai Xianyu.

The beautiful woman seemed to have been carefully dressed up, her clothes were simple but not lacking in beauty. The rouge and powder on her face were slightly thinner and thicker than usual, but she did not look vulgar and charming.

He wore a mutton fat jade bracelet on his white wrist, which made his skin look delicate and moist.

Sitting there quietly, like a ripe red pomegranate, making people unable to help but want to taste it.

Chen Mu couldn't help but exclaim in secret.

Some women will bloom more and more beautifully after years of embellishment. Obviously, Meng Yanqing is such a unique woman.

However, compared to Bai Xianyu on the other side, he was finally overwhelmed.

Whether it is appearance or temperament, Meng Yanqing, as an ordinary peasant woman, obviously lowered her position in front of Bai Xianyu.

The only thing that fascinates is the ripe taste.

This is incomparable to Bai Xianyu.

"Mrs. Meng."

With the wife present, Chen Mu didn't dare to say hello to the usual kind of verbal words, and looked like a gentleman.

And his eyes were even clearer, just staring at each other's cheeks.

Don't watch what shouldn't be seen.

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

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

After all, she is a widow and is afraid of being gossiped about. Besides, with a perfect woman like Bai Xianyu, she feels uncomfortable every time she faces her.

This time I came to visit, it was a helpless move.

"Husband, then you guys talk. Qingluo and I have to pack up our things, so we won't bother you to discuss things."

Bai Xianyu's voice is gentle.

He smiled at Meng Yanqing and took Qingluo out of the living room with tactfully.

"I……"

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

The woman's eyebrows and eyes drooped, and her legs were slanted, falling into silence.

Chen Mu poured a cup of tea on his own, glanced at the delicate and plump curves that the beautiful woman could not hide even when she was wearing a wide black satin dress, and asked:

"I don't know if my aunt is here to find me..."

Perhaps feeling Chen Mu's slightly aggressive gaze, the two tender horns that the woman overlapped on her knees were slightly clenched.

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

The box opened, but it was a green jade bracelet.

Unlike what she wore on her hands, this bracelet was obviously of great value, with a satin-like silky luster on the surface.

When Chen Mu picked it up, another layer of dizzy yellow pearls floated up, like a dream.

The coldness coming from fingertips was quite comfortable.

"This is……"

A little sad look appeared in Meng Yanqing's eyes and said softly, "This is my dowry item back then. My mother left it to me. I originally planned to leave it to Xiao Xuan'er, and give it to her when I get married in the future."

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

"Um."

Meng Yanqing's voice is weak and mosquitoes rings.

"Why?"

"..." The woman was silent and said softly. "I heard that Captain Chen was going to be an official in the capital, so... it was a gift."

"Token of love?"

"ah?"

The beautiful woman opened her apricot eyes and felt a little naive like a little daughter. After reacting, she waved her hand quickly, "No, no, I am..."

In addition to being anxious, he accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table.

The tea tilted out immediately, and the water splashed onto the dress. The beautiful woman was so scared that she stood up quickly.

Just when he was at a loss, a man holding a bupa reached over and gently wiped the water stains on the woman's skirt.

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

He was stunned for more than ten seconds before he realized, pushed Chen Mu away, and stepped back and pointed at him: "You...you..."

Two red clouds have already flew up the woman's pretty face, and her clothes are beautiful, adding to the beauty.

But his eyes were as cold as ice.

The reason why she came to Chen Mu's house was because Bai Xianyu was there. She hoped that Chen Mu would restrain himself and acted in a special way.

I didn't expect the other party to be so unscrupulous.

"Sorry, I am so close to my wife on weekdays, and I accidentally forgot it." Chen Mu apologized with a smile.

"But I'm not your wife!"

Meng Yanqing grabbed the box on the table and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Chen Mu: "Okay, I won't joke anymore, I know why you came here."

Meng Yanqing nailed her body and pursed her lips tightly.

"For that kid Zhang Awei."

Chen Mu forced her to sit down on the chair, poured a cup of tea again, and said with a smile, "You are testing the cadres."

Gifts and seductions?

From the moment the woman came, Chen Mu guessed the other party's intention.

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

Meng Yanqing lowered her water-clearing apricot eyes and didn't say anything.

It's the default.

On the day when Chen Mu became the head of Qingyu County, she keenly realized that this guy would not be a thing in the pool in the future.

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

I plan to bet.

He even betrays some color and adds some bargaining chips in front of Chen Mu on weekdays.

For example, I used to wear amulets to Chen Mu and deliberately get close to the other party.

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

Sometimes, it even deliberately reveals some emotions, allowing the other party to take the initiative to tease him.

There is no such thing as asking for nothing in this world without giving.

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