Soft as a dream

Being sick is actually a good thing in a sense, because it really avoids a lot of troubles. Generally speaking, people who are sick, especially those who are seriously ill, will get extra "willful" powers, such as caring for orphans before sickness, training children , A bunch of troublesome things are put aside, people you don’t want to see can also disappear, parents take care of you, relatives and friends give condolences, good words come and go, delicious and fun gifts promised after the illness are waiting in line, It's also a very good reason to not go to class or go to work.

It's good to be sick!But after recovering from illness, it is really annoying to face the unresolved things that have been pulled down.In the afternoon, Mengsheng lazily rolled up a layer of blankets and lay on the rattan chair to read books as always. This place is next to the window on the second floor of Zangshu Pavilion. Outside the window is the woods. The light is just right and it is quiet. It is really an ideal quiet place.

A burst of chaotic footsteps broke the silence at this time.Just as she was wondering, the maid Ah Zhen ran in panting.

"Miss, miss, cough cough!"

"Oh, don't worry, what's the matter, talk slowly, come on, drink some water first." Seeing that she was out of breath, what could happen?Wondering in her heart, she quickly got up and passed the water.

Ah Zhen drank the water in one gulp, and hurriedly said: "Miss, someone from the government has come, and they want to take you there for questioning!"

What should come will always come.During Mengsheng's illness, I'm afraid the Zhou family has delayed her long enough.After all, she was the first witness at the scene, and they should have summoned her long ago.Well, now that she's cured, troubles are coming.

Mengsheng sighed, and then comforted Ah Zhen: "It's okay, seeing that you are in such a hurry, it's just a question, I'll be back after a while."

It is said that Ah Zhen entered Zhou's house and followed Zhou Mengsheng when she was very young. Although Zhou Mengsheng seldom took Ah Zhen with her when she went out to play, it is reasonable for her to be so anxious because of the deep love between master and servant.It's just that her temperament is relatively cold, she is not easy to be touched by foreign affairs, and she is a double, so there is really no way to be anxious with her.Zhou Mengsheng, I can only do my best to take good care of the people around you.

"But miss..."

"Okay, just stay here and help me pack my things, I'll go."

"Miss——" Miss, miss, do you know that things are not as simple as you think, just ask a question?Besides, if you are reprimanded by the government, don't you feel wronged?Looking at Zhou Mengsheng's back as she walked away, Ah Zhen felt anxious and felt sorry for her.

Ah Zhen, in fact, I don't know, your miss, I am not only a witness, but also a suspect.It's really hard work, why can't my old lady hide in the boudoir and be a rice bug like other girls who time-traveled?

Mengsheng is curious about the world outside the Zhou Mansion, but it is better to lie down lazily than to go out for a walk. Searching for ancient books, listening to music, and watching anime are her few hobbies. Now the huge book library in Zhou Mansion is nearby Right now, my mother often plays the little qin, but the last one is hopeless. Besides, the snacks made by Aunt Liu in the house are really delicious. She doesn't know what else to pursue in life.

People can't escape reality forever, if they don't face it, it will always exist; if you don't look for it, it will come to you.In the end, you are still the one being forced.

To face the government administrators of this era, Mengsheng is not ready yet.Moreover, going out this time will definitely attract criticism.However, you still have to bite the bullet.When we arrived at the front hall, two people in blue-gray county government uniforms were already waiting there.

Master Zhou insisted on going with her.Mengsheng refused, but what if he went?It has been nearly 20 years since they retired from their hometown, and the power of the Zhou family is now limited to the accumulated prestige and wealth, right?In terms of power, he is indeed prominent compared to ordinary people, but in the actual manipulation of power, people are just selling him an old face, right?In fact, what should be or what should be.She didn't want her "parents" to see her being scolded.

This is actually the nature of a child.No matter how wronged you are, you can't cry with pride and self-esteem in front of your parents and elders at home.It would be the same for Zhou Mengsheng.But as soon as he said that I was afraid that Meng'er would disappear as soon as you went out, Mengsheng's heart softened again.

In fact, what Mengsheng didn't know was that she gave face to Zhou's parents. Since Zhou's family, there finally appeared a suspect who was interrogated in the temple. This is quite a shameful thing. Big families usually care about these things. She This is really a stroke of ink and heavy color.

However, the old man just laughed and praised her daughter for being able to do things that others couldn't do, the so-called eccentrics born out of nowhere, those romantics who didn't take the usual path.Mengsheng laughed with him, but there were tears in his eyes.You are so kind to me.

When we got off the sedan chair at the gate of the yamen, there were indeed many spectators, which was a matter of course, who doesn't like to join in the fun.It's just that Mengsheng didn't expect that most of the people seemed to be here for her.

Before she showed her face, she heard someone shouting outside, hey, here we come.

Wow, it's really alive, not a ghost.

Oops, sin, I heard that I had a serious illness, I don’t know how to suffer when I disappeared, tsk tsk...

Amidst these whispers, Mengsheng found himself gorgeously surrounded by crowds.Is a man "resurrected from the dead" any more strange to them?

The two servants accompanying them pushed aside the crowd and let the two of them in.

As soon as he entered the atrium, he felt a gaze coming towards him.Heart trembled.

He raised his head and met the man's eyes, silent gaze, deep and indifferent, without a trace of warmth, not even scrutiny.Just like, if you see grass, it is grass, and if you see a tree, it is a tree.For him, Mengsheng is just an irrelevant one of these outside creatures.

Above the courtroom, under the "mirror hanging high", he sat on the grand master's chair behind the case, wearing a blue gown with a round collar and large sleeves, and a black headband with sharp edges and corners. Who is he if he is not a majestic magistrate?

Yes, this person is Su Mo, the magistrate of Zhourong County.It's just that Mengsheng didn't expect that this person was unexpectedly young. He looked like he was in his 20s. He didn't look handsome, but his facial features were correct, and his clothes were meticulous. Completely solemn and solemn, with an unforgettable temperament, it can be seen that he is a person with a rigorous personality.She thought Zhixian would be a middle-aged uncle with a long beard that fluttered in the wind or a gray-haired grandfather!

Su Mo just glanced this way indifferently, but it made Mengsheng's heart tense inexplicably, and he was a little uncomfortable at once, and a trace of disgust arose from the bottom of his heart. Mengsheng wondered: "Why do you hate a person so much!"Because although she has no one she likes, she has never felt disgusted with anyone.

But he also felt that gaze drifting towards him, seeing himself thoroughly, with nothing to hide in his heart, and intuitively, he looked away, only lowered his head, looking at the stone slabs carved with mottled marks of time on the ground.

Ahem, my old lady is also a person who has walked past the county government slabs. I think that in modern times, I have never even entered the gate of the government.

Father Zhou probably also felt her stiffness, he gently held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Daddy is here."

Mengsheng nodded.Obediently stand with him and wait in the atrium.
