Chapter 237 The Taste of Provocation

Cui Pu knelt for an hour.

Seeing that his face was getting paler and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he couldn't bear to look at Hongdou anymore.

"Miss, if you want to punish the gentleman, you should have punished him enough. The gentleman is so pitiful, you should spare him this time!"

"Is he pitiful for hiding me for three full months? Just now he caused me to be scared, is he pitiful? He has not admitted his mistake until now, is he pitiful?" Mu Jiaojiao said coldly.

Hongdou was speechless for a moment.

Cui Pu immediately grasped the point, and hastily said pitifully: "Lady, I know I was wrong, and I will tell the truth now!"

"Tell me." Mu Jiaojiao ignored him.

This is definitely a good sign!

Cui Pu quickly told the story of that day.Then he said again: "At that time, I thought, Master Jiang definitely didn't come up with this idea. It's just that I was really angry. I planned to get along with them in harmony, but who knew that they would cheat me like this. After I came back, I I became more and more angry and missed you more and more. At that time, I was thinking, if you were by my side, how could they do such a thing? So I simply packed up and went to Chang'an to find you."

"Are you sure you didn't leave here on purpose to avoid trouble?" Mu Jiaojiao asked.

"The conscience of heaven and earth!" Cui Pu yelled immediately, "We grew up in Chang'an, don't we see enough methods of framing us? Their methods are not enough. And since they didn't bring anyone to arrest us on the spot Caught in bed, it will be difficult to make trouble later. I went to Chang'an because I missed you too much. Of course, there is another reason, which is to see what else can happen to them during this time."

"If they honestly act as if nothing happened, then I won't mention the past, and everyone will continue to live in peace. But if they insist on doing something again, then I will just take this opportunity to give their family back. Cure it, so that those who think I can only pick up soft persimmons will take a good look at it, sir, I am also a person who can confront people head-on!"

"Well. You thought maybe the matter could be left alone, so you never thought of mentioning it to me, and wanted to get away with it, didn't you?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly.

Cui Pu laughed.

Mu Jiaojiao immediately turned his face down: "Is it?"

"Yes... yes!" Cui Pu nodded quickly.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled again: "Not bad! If you said that you were only hurt by Miss Jiang's actions at the beginning, and you traveled all the way back to Chang'an to find me to comfort you, then after you came back, that time Mr. Jiang donated in one go. When I give you a thousand guan, you should have guessed that they are going to make a move. You have been telling people to watch Jiang's mother and son's actions, and you are clearly prepared for it. Then why didn't you tell me?"

"I..." Cui Pu lowered his head, like a child who has done something wrong.

Mu Jiaojiao got up awkwardly. "Since you don't want to tell the truth, then go on kneeling!"

"My lady, don't go, I say!" Cui Pu hurriedly hugged her leg, "Aren't I afraid to say it? I'm afraid you will get angry!"

"Just afraid that I will be angry?"

"At first I didn't dare to say it, because I was afraid that you would be angry. Later, when the matter dragged on to that point, and I was afraid that you would be even more angry, I dared not say it even more, so..."

Mu Jiaojiao sneered a few times. "In your eyes, am I that fierce?"

Cui Pu nodded, and immediately shook his head desperately: "No, no! You are not fierce at all, my lady. I am guilty of being a villain myself, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"After kneeling for so long, you finally realized your mistake. That's good." Mu Jiaojiao nodded, "Now that you know where the mistake is, you can continue to kneel, and when you think of a solution, tell me again. "

Still want to kneel?Then his legs are going to be useless!

Cui Pu hurriedly hugged her leg tightly: "My lady, I was wrong, I was really wrong! I will never dare again! Actually, I didn't tell you this time, maybe it's because you said, Do you trust me? Since you trust, then this kind of thing is obviously framed, what else can I say? You see, even if I didn't say it, didn't you cope well today? "

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill rushing towards his face, which made him shiver all over.

"Say it again." Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.

He subconsciously tightened his arms, shook his head desperately and stopped talking.

Mu Jiaojiao kicked over: "Let me go!"

Cui Pu didn't say anything, just hugged her tightly.

Mu Jiaojiao then said to Hongdou: "Call a few people in and push him away!"

Hongdou was startled, turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, Xiao Si'er immediately knelt down: "Madam, I beg you to spare Lang Jun this time! Lang Jun has been so busy these days that he has not slept well for several nights. Even today, he Waking up early, preparing for the seal of the yamen, and going to the backyard to look at the sweet potato seedlings, I didn’t have time to eat lunch! Now kneeling for another hour, his body can no longer bear it!"

When Cui Pu heard this, he closed his eyes immediately, and fell straight on the ground: "I'm about to faint from hunger, I can't take it anymore!"

Can he act a little more fake?

Mu Jiaojiao was helpless. "Why don't you quickly help him to lie down on the imperial concubine's couch?"

Little Si'er seemed to be pardoned, and quickly helped Cui Pu up.

Let him lie down on the imperial concubine's couch, and lift up his trouser legs, and Xiao Si'er immediately yelled again: "Miss, look, Lang Jun's legs are red and swollen! After kneeling for an hour, tomorrow he will only Are you afraid you won’t be able to walk properly?”

Cui Pu hummed in response to the occasion.

Mu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth: "A little flesh injury, what's the matter? Apply some medicine and it will be fine." Then he ordered Hongdou to bring the medicine.

This time Cui Pu didn't dare to let her do it, so he quickly ordered Xiao Si'er to apply a thick layer on his knees, and said to Mu Jiaojiao cheekily: "My lady, I'm hungry."

"What do you want me to do when you're hungry? Tell Xiaosi to go to the kitchen and serve you food!"

"But I want to eat red beans made by her mother."

"dream!"

The prayer was rejected, so Cui Pu could only ask Xiao Si'er to bring some food from the kitchen, and poorly ate a bowl of rice.

Although Mu Jiaojiao's special medicine was used.But this hour of kneeling was not in vain. Cui Pu's knees were still red and swollen when it got dark, and he couldn't use his legs.This made him even more sad.Those cute and pitiful little eyes followed Mu Jiaojiao all the time, as if thinking that doing so would make her feel a little bit guilty.

Mu Jiaojiao was so annoyed by being pestered, she got up and was about to leave.

Cui Pu quickly dragged her back again: "You have tortured me like this, do you still want to let me die here alone? You are too cruel!"

Mu Jiaojiao had a half-smile but not a smile: "You forgot that I made you kneel to wash the board for an hour! Compared to what I did just now, I'm not cruel anymore."

"That's why you have to compensate me all the more! Pay for your cruelty just now!" Cui Pu insisted, not letting go.

"You want to talk about the price, don't you? Well, I just want to have a good chat with you." Mu Jiaojiao turned her head immediately, "Aren't you just relying on my trust in you to do anything wrong? You know that I won't believe it. Then why didn’t you tell the truth about the nonsense they said? Even if you didn’t tell them when you were in Chang’an, why did you still refuse to tell them how many times you came back? You have to wait until the mother and daughter are both You came to the door and threatened me with a child, and then I found out what happened! This is the price for my trust in you? If I knew it was such a price, then I would rather not trust you in the future. "

"My lady, don't! I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Cui Pu regretted it at the beginning, "When I returned to Chang'an at the beginning, I wanted to tell you about this as soon as possible. I just saw your tired face. Lying on the bed with such a calm expression, I couldn't say those words. I'm afraid you will be sad, so..."

He paused: "And I missed the best opportunity to confess, and I will be even more unable to speak in the future."

"At that time, you couldn't say anything, but you could still touch me and torture me to death?" Mu Jiaojiao sneered.

Cui Pu laughed dryly. "I said I miss you very much! I haven't touched you for more than a month at that time, how can I bear it when I see you again?"

Mu Jiaojiao put away her sudden smile, and turned around to leave again.Cui Pu simply dragged her to the couch.The couch was originally narrow, only for one person to lie on.Now that there are two people lying down at once, there is not enough space, and there is a danger of falling when two people are close together.

Mu Jiaojiao didn't dare to move anymore.She could only threaten him with her eyes: "let me go."

"Don't!" Cui Pu shook his head resolutely, "You scolded and punished you, so you should calm down now, right? Today is a small year, a good day, why should we make such a fuss?"

"Ask me that? I should obviously be asking you!" Mu Jiaojiao said angrily.

Cui Pu shook his head immediately: "Of course not!"

This is the sentence before the answer.

Mu Jiaojiao was startled for a moment, but suddenly lost her temper.

Cui Pu saw that she was not so angry anymore, so naturally she was soft-spoken again, begging for mercy and pretending to be pitiful, anyway, whatever works works.Mu Jiaojiao was so haunted by him that he had no choice but to poke him on the temple: "I really should let the people in Tianchang County come and take a good look to see what kind of person their county magistrate is like!"

"You can't bear it! My appearance is exclusive to you, and none of them has the right to see it!" Cui Pu's mouth curled up, and he burrowed his head into the socket of her neck again.

However, Mu Jiaojiao still didn't intend to let him go so easily.

"Although this matter is over, what lessons have you learned?"

"Miss, I was wrong. Although you trust me, I should also give you absolute trust. No matter what happens in the future, I will never hide from you again! I would rather make you angry for a while than be angry like this again!" Cui Pu quickly expressed his opinion.

"I hope you will do what you say." Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.

"That's a must!"

Until this time, the two were completely reconciled.The pity in Mu Jiaojiao's heart just came out, and he quickly lifted up his trousers: "Let me see your legs."

"It really hurts!" Cui Pu pouted quickly, making a pitiful complaint.

A few days after the new year, news came from the Jiang family that Miss Jiang had a serious illness, and she was sent directly to the village in the countryside, and she never came back to the county since then.Half a year later, it is said that she found a wealthy family in the countryside to marry.And because the yamen is closed now, Mother Jiang, mother and son have been locked in prison all the time, and they will be brought for trial after the yamen opens in the next year.

However, on the night of Lunar New Year's Eve, news came from the prison that Mama Jiang's son had hanged himself because he couldn't stand the oppressive environment in the prison!
"This is really a tragedy!" After hearing the news, Cui Pu shook his head and sighed in front of Mu Jiaojiao for a long time, "Tell me, is this also Master Jiang's protest against what I did before?"

"You have received a thousand guan from others, why don't you allow others to protest?" Mu Jiaojiao laughed.

"That's right. But it's chosen on the 29th, so the provocative flavor is too strong." Cui Pu chuckled.
