"Persimmon, persimmon..." Li Zhien knew he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to take out the hand behind his back. He saw a round persimmon with a crescent bitten on it, and Li Mu grabbed it in his hand.

Li Zhien hurriedly said: "Master, I bought this with my own private money... this is it."

"Really?" Li Mu picked up the persimmon and looked at it, and asked, "Is this delicious?"

Li Zhien nodded immediately: "It's delicious! It's delicious!"

"Let me try it!" Li Mu opened his mouth and threw most of the remaining persimmons in. Li Zhien wrinkled his face in distress, his eyes were slightly red, and he almost cried. When Li Mu saw this, he immediately

He was in a happy mood and left laughing.

When the other maids and servants saw her, they all wanted to laugh. Li Zhien usually regarded himself as the 'housekeeper' and often bullied them, but they dared to get angry and dare not speak out. Seeing her deflated, everyone was in a very good mood. Li Zhien was in this house,

I was afraid of Li Mu alone, not even Bai Qiaoqiao. Seeing that Li Mu was far away, these maids and servants all looked like they were suppressing their laughter. They immediately pinched their waists and said: "Why are you laughing? Why don't you hurry up and get to work? If it's before lunch,

If we can’t finish it, we won’t have anything to eat!”

Everyone listened and only agreed, but they didn't look really scared. Although Li Zhien acted fiercely, it was just to make people 'afraid' of her. When she actually did things, she acted fairly.

Everything is arranged very properly. Moreover, she has a good heart, never criticizes harshly, and considers everything carefully. This is why the servants are willing to listen to her arrangements. If you listen to her, at least you can ask for mercy when you do something wrong.

If I had a strict housekeeper, I would probably be beaten if I did something wrong.

Li Mu also understood Li Zhien's character, so he turned a blind eye and allowed her to enjoy some privileges in the mansion. This was also to encourage her to help Bai Qiaoqiao to share more, otherwise Bai Qiaoqiao would be allowed to manage the Marquis Mansion.

It's not that she can't control what she will become. It's just that Bai Qiaoqiao's heart is too soft, her ears are also soft, and she hasn't really transformed from an ordinary commoner into a marquise. She can't stand up, so naturally she can't make her servants afraid of her.

In Li Mu's view, this is an advantage and what he likes. But for Bai Qiaoqiao's current position, it seems a bit inappropriate. Therefore, Li Mu deliberately set up Li Zhien to share the burden. After many days of observation,

, Li Mu became more and more suspicious of Li Zhien's background. Although this girl usually behaves cute and cute, in fact, she has a sense of proportion and scale in everything she does. This is something that cannot be learned in a short period of time and needs to be cultivated from an early age.

Moreover, when Li Ji and others entered and exited the Marquis' Mansion, the other maids and servants were so frightened that they dared not speak out. Only Li Zhien remained calm and composed. Although he was cautious, he did not show any sign of fear, which was a bit abnormal. In this situation

In this era, only those who have seen the world since childhood can do this.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!" Li Mu rushed into the house excitedly, but saw that Bai Qiaoqiao's face was gloomy. When Li Mu entered the house, she just responded without looking happy. Li Mu thought she was staying overnight for him.

Wuguisu was angry, so he quickly came over, hugged Bai Qiaoqiao, and said: "Daughter-in-law, I can't help it. The Supreme Emperor insists on letting me drink, so I can't say no. And this wine is not free, I have been promoted."

Now he is the Minister of Industry."

Bai Qiaoqiao snuggled into Li Mu's arms, leaned on his shoulder, and sighed: "I don't blame you for staying up all night... It's just that," Bai Qiaoqiao looked up at Li Mu and said, "

You were promoted too quickly, and I feel uneasy and worried... that I'm not worthy of you."

"Not worthy of me?" Li Mu frowned and said, "Why did you say that? Did someone tell you something?"

"No." Bai Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and stopped talking. Li Mu frowned even more tightly and shouted, "Li Zhien, come in!"

"Here we come!" Li Zhien responded and trotted over. When he saw Li Mu holding Bai Qiaoqiao, he didn't shy away from it. In the past few days, I don't know if it was a coincidence or something, but when Li Mu got close to Bai Qiaoqiao, he had already been attracted by him.

It happened many times. At first Bai Qiaoqiao felt shy, but later she got used to it.

"Did someone say something to Madam? Why is Madam so depressed?"

Li Zhien looked at Bai Qiaoqiao, as if he was asking whether he should say it or not. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Bai Qiaoqiao had to confess, "Actually, I don't blame anyone. Yesterday, my mother said she missed me, so she sent someone to say that she was free.

I went over to see her. I happened to have nothing to do, so I took Zhien with me. Unexpectedly, by chance, the female family members from the Tang family branch came to visit my mother. Someone asked me my name, so I told them...

…”

"Then there was someone who said that the name Qiaoqiao seemed to have been chosen by a maid!" Li Zhien couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke angrily: "If Madam hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have been able to let go with that bitch! When I got back, Madam would return it.

Don’t let me tell you, I was so angry that I didn’t even sleep well last night!”

Bai Qiaoqiao hurriedly said: "Oh, mother has already ordered her to apologize, what else? If you make trouble again, won't you make it difficult for mother?"

After hearing this, Li Mu's face became ugly, and he was also a little dissatisfied with Sun's handling. In his opinion, there was nothing difficult about this. In any case, he was her only son, and she should have no reason to turn to him.

His daughter-in-law was the one, but Li Mu was obviously not satisfied if he just ordered an apology.

unless……

Li Mu took Bai Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "Did mother also tell you something?"

"No!" Bai Qiaoqiao quickly shook her head.

"Yes!" Li Zhien revealed: "Just after what happened just now, the old lady called my wife into the inner room. Although she didn't let me in, my ears were good and I heard it outside. The old lady said, Master

Now he is a marquis and an official again. He is no longer the young boy from Mayi City. Officials pay attention to marrying wives who are well-matched. The wife is illiterate and has little knowledge. Her natal family cannot help the master, so she is obviously not worthy.

Master. I don’t know how many people have come to visit these days, wanting to introduce their daughter to the master through Mr. Tang. The old lady also said that she missed the old relationship and would not let the master divorce his wife, but in the future the Li family wanted to spread its branches.

, I will definitely marry a few more people into the house, so that my wife won’t be jealous!”

"How could mother say such a thing!" Li Mu exclaimed in shock. He finally understood the reason for Bai Qiaoqiao's depression.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in later generations. When her son is nothing, the mother-in-law is afraid that her son will become a bachelor, so she catches a daughter-in-law and compliments her hard. She holds it in her hand for fear of dropping it and holds it in her mouth for fear of it turning into a bachelor.

No one could say a word. But when her son became prosperous, all the previous kindness and kindness were gone, and he began to find faults and faults, which was no longer pleasing to the eye. However, Li Mu never expected that the Sun family would be like this.
