Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at him and couldn't help but laugh: "You don't understand the girl's family's thoughts. I guess Sister Tianai is jealous. In fact, she is thinking about you. When she left, she left the tiger skin behind. You
Don’t you know what she thinks? If she was really angry with you, why would she give you such a precious gift?”
Li Mu couldn't help but feel guilty. He was not a fool, so how could he not feel anything at all, but his feelings for Zhang Tianai were indeed a bit lacking. Zhang Tianai was very beautiful, but he was not the type that Li Mu liked. He had such a cheerful personality.
Women, being friends is good, but falling in love...
Li Mu imagined it for a moment, and the picture seemed a bit awkward!
Feeling the two burning gazes, Li Mu straightened his face and said, "Madam, how could you say such a thing? Tian Ai and I have a fateful friendship, a friendship that is so pure that it cannot be more pure. How could you do that?
Are you thinking about something wrong? She gave me the tiger skin to thank me for helping her solve the crisis in Zhangjiazhai. I gave it to her out of gratitude. What else does it have to do with it? If you keep talking nonsense, my husband will be angry with you.
Got it!"
Seeing him like this, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't know that he was acting, but she didn't reveal it. Li Zhien was not afraid of big things. He nodded heavily and said, "Master lied. You must not be thinking this way."
." As she said that, she moved away a little, came closer to Bai Qiaoqiao, and said: "Madam, the master must be feeling bad in his heart. A beauty like Sister Tianai likes him. How can he be unhappy? Look at the corners of his mouth.
Yeah, it’s all tilted up!”
"Insolent!" Li Mu glared at him and snorted: "It's becoming more and more unruly. You can go back to your room to sleep tonight."
Li Zhien was not afraid at all, holding Bai Qiaoqiao's arm and acting coquettishly: "Madam, the master is so angry that he is so embarrassed..."
Li Mu had nothing to do with her, so he had to run away, got up and washed his hands, saying: "You two can take care of the remaining ones. I'm angry, and I won't eat until I put it in my mouth later!"
Leaving behind these words of "scary", Li Mu rolled up his sleeves and entered the house. If he hadn't heard what he said and just looked at him like this, I don't know what a big deal it would have been. Li Zhien stared at Li Mu as he entered.
He walked into the house, let go of Bai Qiaoqiao's arm, and whispered: "Madam, why do you always mention other women? Sister Tianai is a very nice person, but if the master is really tempted and enters the house in the future, we
…”
Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at the little girl, put the dumplings she had made in her hand on the bamboo curtain, picked up another piece of dough, and said deliberately: "What's the matter? Even if you enter the house, it won't have any impact on me. Husband, still
Can you divorce me? It just so happens that sister Tianai and I have the same temperament, and we can chat in person."
Li Zhien suddenly became so angry that he turned away and stopped talking. His little face wrinkled up and he felt very unhappy.
She has been with Bai Qiaoqiao since she was bought by Li Mu. At first, in order to live a better life in Zhuluhou Mansion, she always deliberately pondered Bai Qiaoqiao's thoughts and tried very hard to please her, but after a long time together,
After a while, she found that Bai Qiaoqiao was a very simple and kind-hearted person who didn't have so many calculations in his heart, so she put down her mask and got to know him sincerely.
From Bai Qiaoqiao, she felt more of a sisterly relationship than the relationship between master and servant. But the little girl always has a kind of exclusive mentality. She regards Bai Qiaoqiao as the closest person.
He also wanted Bai Qiaoqiao to treat her as the closest person. Now listening to Bai Qiaoqiao's voice, it seemed that he cared more about Zhang Tianai, which made Li Zhien feel a little sad.
Bai Qiaoqiao ignored her and finished wrapping the last few dumplings by herself. Seeing that Li Zhien still didn't say anything, he stood up and went over to take a look. He saw that she was filled with tears and seemed to be about to cry. He knew that the joke was too big, so he hurriedly
Pulled her into his arms.
Li Zhien finally couldn't help it and shed tears. Bai Qiaoqiao coaxed her and said: "Oh, Zhien, my sister is teasing you. In my heart, you are just like my biological sister, otherwise I wouldn't have facilitated it."
You should think about the matter between you and your husband, right?"
"I also regard Madam as my sister," Li Zhien wiped away his tears and finally spoke out, sobbing: "I, I just can't figure it out, why do you always mention other women? Sister, I know you shouldn't do this.
I think so, but I thought you were a bit stupid several times..."
As he spoke, he cried even more sadly. He was afraid that Li Mu would hear him, so he tried hard to endure it and choked and coughed.
Bai Qiaoqiao knelt down, wiped her tears and said, "My thoughts are different from yours."
"You always think that if your husband is so good, you must not let others snatch him away. But think about it, don't all the capable men in this world have three wives and four concubines at home? I am from a humble background, and I am not worthy enough to begin with.
If you go to your husband, your mother's family can only cause trouble to him, but can't help him at all." She looked at Li Zhien and said, "It's the same for you, neither of us can help him."
"But..." Li Zhien wanted to say, if she can't help, she should share it with others? But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them out. Because this is the way it is in this era.
When it comes to aristocratic families and ordinary people, they all pay attention to a well-matched family. Why? Isn't it just to strengthen themselves through marriage?
A woman from a bad background, even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, can only be a concubine when she gets married. No matter how favored a concubine is, she is still a concubine, and she will never be as good as a wife.
Li Zhien stopped crying and was still a little choked. He looked at Bai Qiaoqiao helplessly and asked: "Then... must we find another woman for the master? Is it okay if we don't find another woman? The master is so capable and doesn't need help from others.
.”
Bai Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "I didn't say I wanted to find a woman for my husband, either?"
"and you……"
"I just want to see how my husband reacts. Otherwise, how can I know what he is thinking?"
Li Zhien's eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't expect Bai Qiaoqiao to have such a plan. She suddenly became a little excited. She clenched her little fists and said, "Madam, you are smart. In this way, we can be prepared and guard against it."
They’re gone!”
"Why should we be on guard?"
"..." Li Zhien was a little confused. If it wasn't for defense, then why was he inquiring about his thoughts?
Bai Qiaoqiao sat opposite Li Zhien and said: "That's what I think. In fact, I can't control this kind of thing. Although my husband treats me well, he may also like other women. If I control him, he will listen.
If I say that, I won’t be happy in my heart, but what if I don’t care? It doesn’t seem to be possible, right? So I thought, if there must be new people in the family in the future, it is best to be someone who can get along with me. This way everyone will be better. You
Is that right?"
"Well..." Li Zhien pouted and said nothing. She still felt that this was enough for now and she didn't want more than one person.
Bai Qiaoqiao was holding the bamboo curtain, and Li Zhien put away other things. The two of them walked to the kitchen. The dumplings were wrapped and had to be cooked quickly. Li Mu was still waiting to eat them.
Li Zhien couldn't help but ask: "Madam, why are you not jealous at all?"
Bai Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "You may not believe it, but actually I really don't feel jealous."
"ah?"
"Because I can feel that in my husband's heart, I am his favorite person."
"Oh..." Li Zhien pursed his lips, cursing himself in his mind for asking such a question. It sounded uncomfortable, like a conversation between a queen and a concubine. Hum, don't worry, I'm not dead.
, you will always be concubines...
What's there to be proud of? My master obviously likes me very much.
etc,
Li Zhien suddenly thought of something. Every day when the three of them slept together, Li Mu always hugged Bai Qiaoqiao, and she hugged Li Mu... Only when he slept in in the morning, Li Mu would turn over and hug her.
So that’s it!
Li Zhien suddenly felt a little pricked, and pursed his lips again, feeling unhappy.
…
The next day.
Li Mu got up early today and didn't sleep in. He sent someone outside the city to deliver a message to Bai Nao'er, asking him to come to the house for a chat. As soon as he had breakfast here, Bai Nao'er came to the door. Anyway, it was the same.
Father-in-law, the concierge led him to the back house, where the maid was clearing the table. Li Mu saw him coming, and Bai Qiaoqiao was also beside him, so he asked, "father-in-law, have you had breakfast?"
"On the way here, I ate two steamed buns. I'm not hungry, I'm very full."
Bai Qiaoqiao also asked: "Dad, if you haven't eaten, I'll ask the cook to bring more. Is there any more?"
"No, no, if I say I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry. My good husband is in such a hurry to come to me. He must have something important to discuss. Why are you interrupting..."
Li Mu didn't like what he heard and frowned, saying, "My father-in-law, are you teaching your daughter a lesson in front of me?"
Bai Nao'er realized that he had made a mistake and said quickly: "Look at what I said, please don't take it to heart, my dear husband. I'm just worried that this girl will be rough and make my dear husband angry..."
Li Mu took Bai Qiaoqiao's hand and held it, glanced at Bai Nao'er, and said, "My wife, no one can say anything, and I never say a word myself. Even though you are her father, you should be more careful in the future.
"
"Hey, I got it."
Bai Nao'er didn't dare to refute at all, and lowered his eyebrows. Bai Qiaoqiao felt very complicated when she saw her father like this. She stood up and said to Li Mu: "Today, a tailor came to the house to make clothes. Zhien is greeting me."
Well, I will also go to the front yard to have a look, and you guys can chat." Then he said to Bai Nao'er: "Dad, if you stay for dinner at noon, tell your daughter what you want to eat."
"It all depends on the good son-in-law, and the good son-in-law makes the decision."
Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't stay any longer and hurried out.
Li Mu saw her walking away and said dissatisfiedly to Bai Nao'er: "My father-in-law, can you stop acting so groveling in front of me? You are my father-in-law, so show some attitude!"
Bai Nao'er said in her heart, you still know that I am your father-in-law, but you always talk to me in a certain tone, and I can't afford to offend you. Where does this attitude come from?
But he didn't dare to say anything, so he only responded.
Li Mu glanced at him and said, "Last time we met, I told you that I would find you a job, do you still remember?"
