Bang bang bang!
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, there was a hurried knock on the door of Cao Guogong's Li family.
"Who the hell are you tired of living!" The Li family's concierge got up and blew out the lights, "You dare to knock on the door of the Duke's house like this, your claws will be chopped off!" He cursed and kicked another concierge awake, "You f*ck"
Mom is still sleeping, get up!"
Dang, Dang, Dang, the knocking on the door outside changed from slapping to banging on the door.
"Hey, you're so fucking excited, who are you!" The concierge was furious, took off his shoes and opened a gap in the side door.
But the next second, I was stunned.
Outside, several veteran servants who had followed the owner on errands were carrying a man and waiting anxiously outside the door.
"What's going on?" the concierge quickly lowered the latch and opened the door.
"The master of the house is sick!" The servants, who were busy with their travels, looked like they were in a hurry to come back.
Only then did the porter see clearly that the person being carried was not their family leader Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, but who else could it be.
"Oh my God!" the concierge exclaimed, and the veteran servants had already carried him into the house and walked directly to the backyard.
"Master! Master!"
Deng Shi, the wife of Mr. Cao Guogong, was wrapped in clothes and looked flustered. She looked at Li Jinglong who was lying on the bed. "You're fine. You're on an errand. Why are you still sick?" Then she asked with concern, "Have you seen the doctor?"
Li Jinglong opened his eyes, groaning in pain, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
Seeing that no one was around, he whispered, "Don't shout, I'm pretending to be sick!"
Deng was surprised, "It's okay. Why are you pretending to be sick?"
"I told you, bitch, you don't understand!" Li Jinglong said, "Starting from tomorrow, I will tell you that I am sick, and no foreigners will see you!" He said, glaring and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up.
Master, get me some hot towel and put it on your forehead."
Deng pinched her waist and said, "No, you're not sick. Why are you pretending to be sick?"
"I have to pretend!" Li Jinglong said.
"What bad thing have you done again?" Deng asked.
"What does it mean to do something wrong again? When have I ever done anything wrong?" Li Jinglong said.
"Humph!" Madam Deng rolled her eyes at him, "I have noticed that you have not been very good in the past two years. It turns out that you were always thinking about meritorious service on the battlefield, and now you are busy with lawsuits all day long!"
"You know nothing!" Li Jinglong also rolled his eyes at his wife, "Just do as I say and tell the public that I am sick!"
Although he was not sick on the surface, he was actually sick in his heart. He saw too many things during this trip. Too many things, and they were not things he should be able to see at all.
This moment is at the cusp of the storm. Now that things are done, you must not get close to the two men. If someone thinks of something, you may be in trouble.
The only solution now is to pretend to be sick first. First, there is no need to go to court, and second, there is no need to enter the palace.
Pretending to be sick has another meaning. When King Huai died, there must be an explanation. If the people in the capital are not safe, there will be people who are not long-sighted and careless. If they are not safe, they will ask him about Li Jinglong's head. Who made him?
Where are the close ministers of the East Palace?
As long as someone asks, no matter whether you say it or not, it will be wrong in the eyes of the old man.
Besides, now is the time when the two of you are feeling uncomfortable. What's going on with you running around so lively?
Pretend to be sick! See no one, say nothing! Just stay at home, waiting for the palace's decree and the dust to settle.
Ms. Deng sat on the bedside, leaning against her husband, looking into his eyes, "Ask me, what on earth did you do on this trip?"
Li Jinglong turned his face away, "Don't ask, I won't tell you even if you ask!" Then he sighed, "There are some things that no one can say!"
Deng's face softened, and she slowly leaned against Li Jinglong's heart and said softly, "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. I also know that you are in trouble, and I can't help you!" After saying that, he also sighed, "Although I
I am a womanly family, and I also know that being a minister is not easy. Our family has everything and lacks nothing, so why are you so determined to work hard!"
"In the end, I haven't experienced the blessing yet, yet I have to be so cautious! Why bother!"
Li Jinglong stroked his wife's hair, "In my position, if I don't advance, I will retreat. There are some things that I can't help myself!" He said, sighing, "It will be fine in a few years. As long as you don't act stupid, our family will be fine."
How many decades of good life have you lived!"
Mrs. Deng came closer, raised her face and said, "You men are just not satisfied!" As she said that, she suddenly rubbed her belly and said, "A few days ago, you said you wanted to have another son, but you can't.
My stomach is not up to par, and there has been no movement!"
"Otherwise, while you are recuperating now, I will arrange some good-looking maids for you and send them to your room!"
Li Jinglong snorted, "I'm sick? How can I still do that?" He said, laughing and scolding, "Besides, we want a son to be a companion to the King of Wu. How can a bastard be so proud?"
"If you don't read with me, let's put it another way. There are too few boys in our family!" said Deng. "It's also my fault. I have been too strict with you these years!"
Li Jinglong suddenly fell silent, and then he grinned reluctantly, "Just be as little as possible, less will save you trouble! Otherwise, if the family is big and the business is great, there will be fights if there are more sons!" Then he sighed again, "Brothers will be in trouble if they hold back their energy.
You are more evil than outsiders!"
At this point, he hugged his wife tightly and said with a smile, "However, your last sentence has gone deep into my heart. You have been too strict in these years, and I have no place to show off my talents!"
"Bah! I never saw you idle!" Deng scolded with a smile.
Li Jinglong smiled and used his arms to turn his wife over.
"Hey, didn't you say you were recuperating?" Deng said with a gasp.
"I was pretending to be sick!" Li Jinglong started to dishonestly point his fingers.
"Can't you do that?"
"You won't tell the outside world!" Li Jinglong was extremely anxious.
