the seventh bride

Chapter 177 Illness
When passing by the first floor, she just ran into the old lady who was about to go back to her room to sleep, and it was too late to go back, so she could only call out: "Grandma..."

The old lady glanced at her, and asked calmly, "Where are you going this evening?"

"Me." Bai Muqing said dumbly for a while, and said hurriedly: "I have something urgent to go out to deal with, and I will be back soon."

"Don't go!" The old lady gave an order.

Sister He on the side hurriedly said: "Young Madam, you are the Young Madam of the Nangong family, and both parties must take care of the Nangong family's face. It is not appropriate to go back at such an early night."

Bai Muqing opened her mouth, and when she was about to say something, Sister He said again: "Hurry up and go back to the house."

She looked at Sister He, then at the old lady with a stern face, and had no choice but to turn around and walk upstairs.

As she was pacing back and forth in the bedroom, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't just let Miss Zhu achieve her goal step by step. If Miss Zhu was by Nangong Chen's side at this time, she would definitely work hard, and Nangong Chen would definitely Can't resist the temptation.If it was true what Yao Mei said at the beginning, and the two of them cooked rice, she would have nothing to do with them.

No, she can't just take advantage of that woman, she can't just admit defeat like that.

She opened the door again and walked downstairs with light steps. Fortunately, Sister He and the old lady had already fallen asleep. She came to the garage smoothly, drove the car out of the gate and drove towards the city .

*****
Su Xi's guess was right, Zhu Zhu would definitely not give up such a good opportunity.

When she came to Xiangdi's apartment, Nan Gongchen was drinking alone in the living room, and the ashtray on the table was almost full.

The doorbell rang for a long time before Nangong Chen strenuously stood up and walked towards the walkie-talkie. He opened the elevator door on the first floor without even looking at it, and opened the door here as well.

Zhu Zhu came up quickly, looked at the mess on the table, his eyes stopped on the ashtray full of cigarette butts and said distressedly: "Are you going to have cigarettes and wine for dinner?"

Nangong Chen raised his eyelids and glanced at her: "Why are you?"

"Otherwise, who do you think it is?" Zhu Zhu put the dinner on the table, and while picking up the messy table and floor, said: "I heard from my former colleagues that something happened in the company, and you and Mu Qing were arguing, I guessed You're sure to hide and drink by yourself, so here you go."

She stretched out her hand to snatch the flaming cigarette from his fingers, and said, "Okay, don't smoke any more, let's eat something first."

After finishing speaking, she took out the dinner she brought out of the food box: "I don't know if you still like fish, so I just bought some braised fish and come here to try the taste."

Nangong Chen looked at the braised fish rice in her hand, then took it and ate it.

Zhu Zhu sat down beside him, and comforted him: "Don't blame Mu Qing, first love, it must be able to help me a little bit, don't you see that you have been helping me through the difficulties?"

Thinking of Bai Muqing and Lin Annan, Nan Gongchen lost his appetite in an instant, he threw the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the wine jar next to him and drank.

"Why don't you eat?"

Nangong Chen stared at her irresponsibly: "Is first love really so unforgettable?"

He had always been in the affirmative of this answer before, but since Zhu Zhu came back, he felt that it was actually not that difficult. Compared to Zhu Zhu, the person he loves now is Bai Muqing, there is no need to question this.

Zhu Zhu smiled and said, "I think it will never be forgotten in my life, at least I am like this."

Nangong Chen stared at her dimly, and he didn't know whether it was because of her answer or because he felt sorry for her.

"Chen, don't think so much anymore. If you love her, you should tolerate everything about her, right?" Zhu Zhu continued, "Look at me, no matter which woman you love, as long as you can look back at me It's already very satisfying."

"I'm sorry, Zhu." Nan Gongchen took another big gulp of beer from the wine jar, but Zhu Zhu just stopped him symbolically.

"Chen, you don't have to always tell me you're sorry. I was the one who left first. Although I had no choice but to make a mistake, it's a mistake. I don't blame you." Zhu Zhu also grabbed a bottle of beer and drank it.

******
After Bai Muqing came out of the house, she went directly to the two bars that Nangong Chen loved to go to on weekdays. After searching around, she couldn't find him, so she went to other bars to look for him.

She searched almost all the high-end bars in the urban area, but still couldn't find them, and she began to feel a little discouraged.

Sitting in the carriage, she watched the cars coming and going in front of her, but for a moment she didn't know where to go.

When the car passed by Binjiang Road, she suddenly remembered the scene of Nangong Chen hiding alone on the apartment terrace drinking wine, so she turned around and drove in the direction of Shanti's apartment.

When she drove the car to the parking lot, she saw Nangong Chen's car parked in his special parking space.

Seeing his car, Bai Muqing couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he really hid here, luckily he wasn't outside.

Taking the elevator up to the floor where Lou Nangongchen was, she put her ear to the door and listened, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Knocking on the door was just out of politeness, she pressed the code directly after knocking, then pushed the door and stepped in.

She saw Zhu Zhu's figure almost at a glance. At this time, she was holding a wine can, wearing a low-cut sweater, and throwing a red coat casually on the armrest of the sofa.

And Nangong Chen was obviously a little drunk, sitting on the floor smoking a cigarette in a daze.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two people in the living room turned their faces at the same time. When they saw her, Nan Gongchen didn't even stop looking at her for a second, but Zhu Zhu quickly stood up from the sofa and stared at her with a smile. She asked, "Mu Qing, you're here."

Bai Muqing looked at Nangong Chen, then at Zhu Zhu who was smiling hypocritically, her chest was suddenly gasping for breath due to anger.

Su Xi is right, this woman is approaching Nangong Chen step by step according to her plan, this is her purpose of setting her up!

She took a step forward, stared at Nangong Chen and said, "Nangong Chen, have you forgotten our agreement?"

"Promise?" Nangong Chen laughed mockingly, he didn't even look at her, he still hung his head, the smoke between his fingers was burning little by little, releasing a beautiful smoke ring.

Under the smoke, he was so distressed that it made people feel distressed.

"What agreement?" Zhu Zhu looked at Nangong Chen, then at Zhu Zhu, and hurriedly explained: "Mu Qing, don't get me wrong, I just heard from my former colleagues that something happened to the company, so I just came over to see Young Master Chen, and then I drank a few glasses of wine with him."

The hypocrisy on her face really aroused Bai Muqing, she rushed up and slapped her on the face, angrily said: "Miss Zhu, I didn't want to pursue you because I knew you would never admit it. But you Don't be too arrogant, after playing one trick after another, you still come to my house to drink with my husband at such an early night? Do you want to drink with him or go to bed with him?"

Zhu Zhu was slapped by her, and immediately burst into tears, staring at her with aggrieved expression, "Mu Qing, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"Of course you don't understand! What else can you do besides cry and pretend in front of Young Master Chen?" Bai Muqing grabbed her arm, dragged her to Nangong Chen and stared at him, saying, "Chen, what are you doing now? Still can't understand this woman's intentions? She intentionally created a misunderstanding, intentionally caused us to quarrel, and then took advantage of it to snatch you back. She knows that you can't drink, so she comes to drink with you at night, if If I don't rush over, she will get you drunk, then climb into your bed, and announce that she is pregnant a month later. These are all common tricks of a shameless mistress, open your eyes and see clearly!"

Zhu Zhu still shook his head, covering his face in aggrieved way: "I really never thought about it that way, never. I was going to leave just now, but Young Master Chen told me not to leave. I don't know that Young Master Chen can't." Young Master Chen never told me about drinking."

"Don't worry about avoiding the question!" Bai Muqing angrily pushed her to the ground: "You stole my mobile phone to send messages, you deliberately created a misunderstanding between me and Young Master Chen, do you dare to say that there is no such thing?"

She didn't push very hard, but Zhu Zhu still fell on Nangong Chen's side. She quickly got up from the ground, shook her head and said with Nangong Chen's arm choked up: "Chen, tell Mu Qing, I never thought about it. If she doesn't believe me if she wants to destroy you, don't you believe me? If I want to destroy you, just go to the old lady directly, right? I don't know any information at all, and I don't know what she is talking about!"

After she finished speaking, she turned to Bai Muqing and complained tearfully: "Mu Qing, I tried so hard to protect your relationship with Young Master Chen, but you blamed me after you made a mistake, just because I was The person you hate the most? You are doing too much!"

"You." Bai Muqing was so angry that she almost fainted.

This woman actually has the face to say that she has been protecting her relationship with Nangong Chen?She actually has the face to say it?
"If I want to take Chen Shao back, I can directly ask the old lady to make the decision, I..."

"Enough!" Nangong Chen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke out. After he roared these two words angrily, he stood up from the ground unsteadily.He didn't blame Zhu Zhu, nor did he question her, but stared at Bai Muqing and said coldly: "Is it enough? Get out of here immediately!"

"Chen." Bai Muqing opened her mouth, he actually wanted to leave Zhu Zhu and let her go? .

Nan Gongchen took a step forward and stared at her: "Even if Zhu Zhu and I have something to do, it is still under you and Lin Annan, and you have no right to control it."

"I said I told Lin Annan..."

"I said that I don't want to hear you make up any lies!" Nan Gongchen interrupted her, pointing to the direction of the door: "Get out immediately!"

"This is my home, if she wants to get out, she should get out!" Bai Muqing raised her finger to hold Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and comforted her in a good voice: "Mu Qing, go back quickly, I'll leave as soon as I clean up this place, I swear that I never thought of having any wrong thoughts about Chen Shao, not at all."

"Stop pretending to be a good person here!" Bai Muqing was disgusted when she saw the hypocrisy on her face: "This is my house, I will clean it up!"

Nan Gongchen impatiently took a step in front of her, grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the door.His footsteps were unsteady, and Bai Muqing's body was also staggered, but the force was very strong, and he pushed Bai Muqing out of the door in one fell swoop.

While struggling, Bai Muqing said angrily: "Chen, what are you doing? Are you really planning to keep her here overnight?"

"It's none of your business!"

"Why has nothing to do with me? Let me tell you, if you sleep with her, you will never have a chance to get rid of her!"

Nan Gongchen forcibly opened the palm of Bai Muqing's grip on the edge of the door, and with a 'bang' sound, the door panel was slammed shut, followed by the sound of the door being locked.

At the moment when the door panel was closed, she clearly saw a smug sneer on Zhu Zhu's face.She stood at the door blankly, staring at the closed door for a while, not knowing what to do.

Being blasted out so mercilessly, she should have turned around and walked away with her self-esteem, but she couldn't move her footsteps no matter what.There is only one voice in my heart, Zhu Zhu cannot be allowed to stay inside overnight, and her tricks cannot be allowed to succeed.

Nangong Chen is drunk now, his self-control ability will definitely be poor, and he will definitely fall for her tricks.

She stood at the door for a moment, and she began to think about how to re-enter the house.The door was locked by Nangong Chen, and she couldn't get in at all. Looking around, her eyes suddenly fell on the door next to her.

That was Lin Annan's apartment. She remembered that Nan Gongchen jumped from his balcony to Lin Annan's house when she was drunk last time. Could she also climb from here to there?

Although it was dangerous to do so, in order to stop Zhu Zhu's tricks, she decided to go all out.

She walked to the door of Lin Annan's apartment and tentatively pressed the password. Lin Annan's password was not changed when she entered last time. She did not expect that it was still the same password after so long.

She pushed the door open and looked around, the inside was still exactly the same as when she came back.She walked directly towards the terrace, and stood on the edge of the guardrail to measure the distance between the two sides.

Just looking at it made her legs go limp.

The distance between the two floors was quite large, and with her strength, it was impossible to cross it as easily as Nangong Chen.

She took a deep breath, then carefully climbed onto the guardrail, deciding to climb along the wall.

*****
Although Nangong Chen was drunk, Zhu Zhu was not. After cleaning up the mess on the table, she looked at Nangong Chen, whose face was even uglier than before, and said: "Chen, you should go back to the bedroom to rest early, I am really serious this time. going back."

Nangong Chen stretched out his hand to get the beer on the table, Zhu Zhu hurriedly stretched out his hand to press the back of his hand and said: "Don't drink it, if I knew you couldn't drink, I wouldn't let you drink it just now, I packed all the wine, you Do you know well yourself?"

She said to leave, but there was no sign of leaving in her movements, she still sat beside Nangong Chen and looked at him.

Nangong Chen didn't say a word, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Young Master Chen, did you hear what I said?" she asked again.

Nangong Chen still kept silent, his ears were listening to the movement outside the door, but the door was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

is she gonehe asked in his heart.

Zhu Zhu suddenly felt a figure shaking on the terrace. She raised her face in surprise, and found that there was a palm tightly pressed against the wall here. It was a long and slender female hand, belonging to Bai Muqing's.

She stood up from the ground calmly, and said to Nangong Chen: "Chen, I'll go back first." After finishing speaking, she walked towards the balcony and said, "I'll close the doors and windows for you, you must not Open it without authorization, or you will catch a cold."

She walked to the french door, and when she saw Bai Muqing's foot was about to step over, she suddenly screamed: "Ah! Mu Qing, what are you doing?"

Bai Muqing was startled by her, her feet slipped and her body sank instantly, she also let out a scream, she quickly hugged the edge of the guardrail, dangerously hanging her body on the guardrail.

Cold sweat broke out from her forehead in an instant, and her already weak legs and feet became more sore and weak.

She stared at Zhu Zhu who was running towards her, with a look of panic on her face, although it was very dangerous for her to hang here at this time, and she needed someone to pull her up as soon as possible.But she knew that Zhu Zhu couldn't really save her, not only would she not save her, but she would throw herself down.

"What do you want to do? Go away." She stared at Zhu Zhu in horror and warned.

"Mu Qing, why are you so stupid? Come up, hurry up." Zhu Zhu said anxiously while breaking off her fingers that were clasped on the guardrail.

Bai Muqing was terrified by her, she tightly clasped the guardrail and screamed: "I don't need you to worry about it, get out of here quickly! Get out of here, do you hear me?"

"Mu Qing, this is not the time to fight, it's very dangerous for you to behave like this!" Zhu Zhu shouted in a 'burning with anxiety', and took one of her hands from the guardrail and held it in her own.

Bai Muqing was so frightened that her face turned pale. Just when she thought she was going to die this time, the wrist that was broken off by Zhu Zhu was suddenly grabbed by a powerful force.She was stunned for a moment, and unexpectedly saw Nan Gongchen's figure.

Nangong Chen finally came to save her, he finally appeared.

She was so moved that she burst into tears.

Nangong Chen threw her up from the guardrail and threw her on the floor with all her strength, followed by an angry roar: "What the hell are you trying to do?"

Bai Muqing, who was still in shock, fell to the ground panting heavily, and cold sweat was also dripping down.She raised her eyes and glanced at the furious Nangong Chen, and lost her voice for a while.

Nangong Chen leaned over and picked her up from the ground, glaring at her and roaring: "You still remember the password of his house? You still remember? You can't bear that house, do you?" He waved his finger and pointed to the next door: " There are memories of your love in it, right? Are you dating in it every day without my back?"

In fact, he was just furious at her behavior just now. If he came out late, would she survive if she fell from here?

At this time, he didn't know what he was talking nonsense about Hu Fang, he just vented the anger in his heart and scolded her.

"Chen, don't be angry, Mu Qing just wants to come in and be with you, and has no other ideas." Zhu Zhu comforted him.

Bai Muqing managed to recover from her panic. She glanced at the duplicity Zhu Zhu. This woman wanted to throw her down just now. Fortunately, Nan Gongchen appeared in time, otherwise she would have already fallen to the ground. went upstairs.

She took a deep breath, stared at Nangong Chen and said: "I don't care what you think now, anyway, I must stay here tonight, I will not let this little bitch's scheme succeed!"

Zhu Zhu glanced at the angry Nangong Chen, not only was not angry, but smiled and said: "Chen, Mu Qing is not afraid of death in order to protect you, do you still doubt her sincerity towards you? Since Mu Qing is here, then I Feel free to go back."

Nangong Chen turned his head and said to her: "Don't go."

Zhu Zhu glanced at Bai Muqing, and whispered, "Chen, stop making trouble."

"Let's go, let's continue drinking." Nangong Chen gave Bai Muqing a bitter look, put his arm around Zhu Zhu's shoulder and walked into the living room.

Seeing the backs of the two of them walking into the house, Bai Muqing was immediately disheartened. She quietly got up from the ground and followed them into the house.

Zhu Zhu knew that Bai Muqing was not going to leave tonight, and he didn't dare to make any wrong ideas. After returning to the living room, he started making tea, and said while making tea, "Young Master Chen, let's not drink the wine. How about some tea to sober up, and then go to bed early?"

Bai Muqing watched Nangong Chen return to his original position and sat down, and watched Zhu Zhu pretending to persuade Nangong Chen to forgive herself while making tea, she couldn't bear to listen, so she had to go back to the bedroom.

There were vague conversations in the living room, most of which were Zhu Zhu talking and Nangong Chen echoing.As we talked, we talked about the things about our childhood again. It wasn't until around twelve o'clock that Zhu Zhu pretended to go to the door of her bedroom and said to her, "Mu Qing, Chen is already sleepy, you Looking at him, I will go back first."

Bai Muqing came out and glanced at Nangong Chen who was leaning on the sofa, not knowing whether he was really sleeping or not, and then mockingly said to Zhu Zhu: "I'm really sorry, I ruined your plan."

"Mu Qing, Young Master Chen has already fallen asleep, so stop acting." Zhu Zhu smiled, "I'm going first."

Bai Muqing only felt that her heart, which had finally calmed down, began to boil again because of her stimulation. Who is acting? This woman is really good at biting back!
Zhu Zhu left the apartment with resentment, and Bai Muqing locked the door with resentment.

Only Nangong Chen slept peacefully on the sofa, stood in front of the sofa and stared at him for a moment, Bai Muqing faintly pulled the blanket on his body and smiled mockingly: "The days when you were in love together were wonderful."

She guessed that Nan Gongchen was not asleep at this time, otherwise Zhu Zhu would not have played that scene.

"If I hadn't come, you would be hugging each other endlessly on the bed at this time, recalling the past endlessly, right?" Although the scene just now was thrilling and almost killed her, she didn't regret it.

What makes her sad is that even though she is protecting this marriage with her life, he still falls for other people's tricks and misunderstands her time and time again.

*****
The next day, when Bai Muqing woke up, the room was already empty, and Nangong Chen was nowhere to be seen.

She walked around the room, but she didn't see Nangong Chen, and she lost her mind about making breakfast, so she tidied up casually and went to work in the company.

When she arrived at the company, she paid special attention to Nangong Chen's dedicated parking space. When she saw that the parking space was empty, she couldn't help feeling cold, and then she took out her phone and called Assistant Yan's number.

Assistant Yan's answer was that she hadn't seen Nangong Chen coming to work, and she didn't know where he was.

A dedicated person like Nangong Chen would never leave work behind no matter what happens, but today...

Bai Muqing didn't even know when he left the apartment, did he leave last night?Or did you just leave this morning?
She took a deep breath and tentatively dialed Nangong Chen's number, but the phone turned off.

Nangong Chen hadn't been to the company for a whole day, and Bai Muqing's heart became more and more uneasy, and she didn't even think about going to work.In the afternoon, she simply got off work early and went home. She thought Nangong Chen would come home, but no, there was no sign of Nangong Chen at all.

She searched around the front and back of the house, but she couldn't find Nan Gongchen, but was blocked by the old lady in the restaurant on the first floor.

She called out guiltily: "Grandma."

The old lady looked at her, and her tone was full of displeasure: "It seems that you don't take my old lady seriously any more."

Knowing that she was referring to last night, Bai Muqing hurriedly explained: "Grandma, the eldest young master was in the apartment last night. I was worried about him, so I ran to stay with him in the apartment for a night."

"Did I warn you not to go out?"

"Have."

"Is that going against my will on purpose?"

"No, Grandma, I didn't intentionally violate your will, I just..."

"No matter how much you say, it's just an excuse!" The old lady interrupted her, then turned her head and said to Sister He, "Send her to the ancestral hall."

Upon hearing the ancestral hall, Bai Muqing was instantly stunned.

In the past, she was afraid of family law because the place of the ancestral hall was too scary, and she was too scared to go there.But this time she was not only afraid, but also because Nangong Chen was gone, and she had to find him back, she couldn't be locked up in the ancestral hall.

She hurriedly shook her head, begging: "No, grandma, I beg you, can you let me kneel in the ancestral hall tomorrow, I still have things to do tonight."

"Are you going out tonight?"

"My young master didn't go to the company all day. I'm worried about him. I want to find him back."

"You don't need to worry about Chen's affairs."

"grandmother.."

"Shut up!" the old lady interrupted her.

Sister He explained from the side: "Young Madam, you don't have to worry about Eldest Young Master, he is not a child, he has his own discretion in everything he does."

Sister He said this because everyone knows Nangong Chen's personality. He is mature and stable, and he never thinks about anything or acts extreme.Of course, the old lady knew that the young couple had been arguing for the past two days, and what she wanted was this kind of effect, so she naturally wouldn't give Bai Muqing the chance to go out to find Nangong Chen.

In the end, Bai Muqing was forcibly sent to the ancestral hall.

It gets dark early in winter, and as she looked around, the creepy feeling gradually came up in her body.

Because she had something on her mind, she didn't have the time to think about those unclean things. Instead, her mind was full of where is Nangong Chen now?Will you spend tonight with me?Will it be Zhu Zhu?
Zhu Zhu didn't achieve her goal last night, so she will definitely do the same thing again tonight. If that's the case, then she will definitely succeed tonight.

Thinking of the scene where the two of them were most likely to be together, Bai Muqing felt angry and heartbroken.

She closed her eyes, just wanting to let this night pass quickly.

*****
The long night was finally over, Bai Muqing dragged her tired and limp legs out of the ancestral hall and back to the main house.

At this time, she really needs to have a good sleep and rest, but when she saw the empty house, she still couldn't help asking Xiaolu, "Where are you? Where did you go?"

At this time in the past, it was time for breakfast in the house, and the first floor must have been extremely lively.

Xiaolu glanced at her, opened her mouth and shook her head: "I don't know."

"Xiaolu, do you really intend to hide such an important matter from the young lady?" Pu Lianyao came out of the room shaking the wheelchair by herself.

Hearing what she said, Bai Muqing immediately stared at her and asked, "What happened?"

Pu Lianyao stared at her and said, "Sister-in-law, although grandma said that you don't need to be informed about this matter, I don't think you should keep it from you. After all, you are the wife of eldest brother."

"What the hell is going on!" Bai Muqing yelled in despair.

Her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but Pu Lianyao was still talking nonsense.

"Brother fell ill last night and is now in the hospital." Pu Lianyao said.

Bai Muqing's heart trembled suddenly, and she asked involuntarily, "How did this happen?"

"It is said that I drank too much with cousin Annan last night, so..."

"Annan..." Bai Muqing muttered two words.Then he ran upstairs quickly, and went out with the car keys without even changing his clothes.
