When Ju Zhisheng heard this, he didn't know what he was feeling. It was as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.
Although he didn't care about women, Zhang Tianai was engaged to him after all. Seeing his woman become someone else's "fourth wife", for some reason, a feeling of sadness and anger arose in his heart.
Moreover, it is still under such circumstances.
Suddenly, Ju Zhisheng's heart trembled. He suddenly thought: Could his experience be framed by someone? He did not see Li Mu, but he saw Zhang Tianai. He remembered the situation that day clearly, and he recognized Zhang Tianai.
Zhang Tianai must have recognized him.
Then was it possible that she was the one who sent the servants that followed?
Was she even the one who arranged everything in prison?
Yes, it must be so!
It seemed that all the doubts had answers. Ju Zhisheng suddenly understood. He was originally wondering, he didn't know anyone in Chang'an, how could anyone be willing to give money to save him?
But if this person is Zhang Tianai, then it would be logical. This woman fell in love with Zhulu Hou and was worried that the engagement would be discovered, so she bribed the guards to frame her. The money to save people was a lie, but the murder was true. Fortunately, she stayed on that day.
Carefully, I only took one-third of the packet of medicine. If I took all of it, how could I still be alive?
What a cruel heart!
Ju Zhisheng's teeth were itching with hatred, and when he looked at Zhang Tianai, he unconsciously had a little hatred in his eyes.
Zhang Tianai avoided Ju Zhisheng's eyes. She was not afraid, but felt guilty.
Although she grew up in Longyou, her character was greatly influenced by the Hu people. But she is Han after all, and her parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker are still very important in her heart. Her father, Zhang Xun, has promised Ju Wentai, the leader of the Gaochang Kingdom,
, and married her to Ju Zhisheng half a year later. Now she has become Li Mu's woman. Now the rightful owner is in front of her, and she is unreasonable no matter what.
Ju Zhisheng's anger was reasonable. Even if he cursed a few times, Zhang Tianai could endure it.
Little did she know that her behavior of avoiding her eyes would become evidence in Ju Zhisheng's eyes of what he had imagined. His idea was very simple. If there wasn't something wrong in his heart, why were he afraid of facing me?
But in front of Li Mu, he didn't dare to say these words.
Li Mu didn't seem to notice anything, and said to Ju Zhisheng a little shyly: "Your Majesty, we are good friends and we are both men, so I won't be hypocritical. What men pursue in life in the world is nothing more than money and power.
, beauty, these three are the only ones. As for power, I all rely on His Majesty’s grace. This money and beauty have become my lifelong pursuit.”
When Zhang Tianai heard this, he immediately thought of Wang Ou. He felt angry and stretched out his hand to pinch him.
Li Mu grinned, endured the pain, and continued to brag: "There is no end to the money. I have made one hundred thousand gu, is it enough to spend it? No, not enough, how can money be too much? The same is true for beauty, who is not a real man?
Three wives and four concubines? Although I have good wives and beautiful maids in my family, when I met my fourth wife, I was still attracted by her unique temperament. There are no women in the Central Plains who are so fierce and lovely!"
Zhang Tianai frowned slightly. She didn't quite understand what Li Mu meant. Was he praising or derogating?
Ju Zhisheng squeezed out a smile and said, "That's what the Marquis said."
"That's natural!" Li Mu put his arms around Zhang Tianai's waist and said, "I have a disease. The woman I like must be brought into the house, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable all over! It's a coincidence that I
This fourth lady is also from Longyou. But when I asked her where her hometown was, she refused to tell me. But it doesn’t matter, we are all descendants of Jianghu, so why ask about our origins? It’s tacky! Am I, Li Mu, afraid that people will rob me?"
At this point, Li Mu turned sideways, blocking Ju Zhisheng's sight, squinting at Zhang Tianai, and continued: "I heard from the man my fourth wife accepted that she is already engaged in her hometown. Who the hell dares to follow me? Li Mu
Stealing a woman? If I knew who that person was, I would have to castrate him if not kill him. My Li Mu's woman is a sin for others!"
After saying that, he looked back at Ju Zhisheng and said, "Your Majesty, do you think I am right?"
Ju Zhisheng's forehead was already sweating, but his heart was relieved. He thought to himself that it seemed that Zhulu Hou was kept in the dark by this woman. This was good news, because just now he was worried that the person who plotted against him was Li Mu.
This possibility can now be ruled out.
At the same time, this is also a handle. If Lord Zhulu knew the true identity of this woman, would he still pamper her so much? However, this handle cannot be used now. It has to wait. Maybe at a critical moment, he can threaten this woman to brag.
Pillow style.
Thinking of this, Ju Zhisheng couldn't help but feel proud again. Such a deep city is the Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, that's it. I, Ju Zhisheng, am indeed a great hero!
"The Marquis is absolutely right. Xiao Wang and the Marquis are quite similar in this regard. They will never allow others to get involved with the woman they like."
"That's right!" Li Mu seemed to have found a like-minded person and said: "My woman can do whatever she wants, I will give her whatever she wants, I will give her whatever she wants, but if she secretly communicates with other men,
Qu, no matter what it is, I will chop these adulterers into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"
"Yes, yes! Xiao Wang thinks so too."
"Hahaha, the Crown Prince is very similar to me!" Li Mu patted Ju Zhisheng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's getting late, so I won't delay the Crown Prince's meal. There are servants waiting at the door. Just call me if you need anything.
I will have dinner with my wife first, and then come over to chat with the Crown Prince when I have time. Tomorrow I will tell His Majesty that the Crown Prince admires Buddhism and worships Buddha at Ci'en Temple. Your Majesty trusts me and will probably not doubt it, so this matter will be covered up."
Ju Zhisheng said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis, for your protection."
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Li Mu waved his hands carelessly, put his arms around Zhang Tianai's slender waist and went out. When he reached the door, he specifically asked loudly to take good care of the prince Yunyun.
Hearing the footsteps fading away, Ju Zhisheng let out a sigh of relief. Li Mu's moodiness brought a lot of pressure to him. He changed his face as soon as he said it, and his temper came and went quickly. It was really unpredictable.
But in general, Ju Zhisheng had a good impression of Li Mu. He thought in his mind that when he came to Tang to ask for help this time, it would most likely fall on Li Mu. This man was greedy for money and sex, and he was not an incompetent master.
.
Ju Zhisheng ate two steamed buns to barely fill his stomach. He called Xiaozhu who was waiting at the door to help him move out, and asked for paper and pen. He lay on the bed and wrote furiously.
After writing the letter, he sealed it with wax and made a secret note. Then he felt relieved and asked Xiaozhu to take it to Li Mu, asking him to help send it out as soon as possible.
After doing all this, Ju Zhisheng felt a little relieved. His hip hurt and he couldn't move. Feeling exhausted, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
…
In the main room, Zhang Tianai hugged his shoulders and looked angrily at Li Mu eating.
Seeing that she refused to eat, Li Mu asked, "What's wrong? Who are you angry with?"
"you!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Have you forgotten what you just said? Oh, any woman you like will be taken to the house. What a big statement. Does this mean that there will be new people in the family in the future? Then you like the new and hate the old.
Kick us all out?"
Zhang Tianai was so angry that his cheeks turned red. He slapped the table and said, "How could you do this! You are such a heartless person!"
Li Mu sighed and put down his chopsticks. Ling Ran looked at Zhang Tianai fearlessly for a long time before asking, "You are the fourth lady in our family now. You are the youngest, right?"
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?"
"You're the 'new' one, right?"
"Um."
"Then did I neglect Qiaoqiao because of you?"
"Well..." Zhang Tianai thought for a while and said, "You can't compare like this. You don't like me in the first place, so"
"Wrong!" Li Mu held Zhang Tianai's hand and said, "Who said I don't like you? If I didn't like you, would I go to such great lengths to plot against Ju Zhisheng?"
Zhang Tianai didn't understand, he frowned and said, "Are you plotting against him? I think he is quite flattering to you, it doesn't look like he was plotted against."
"Ha!" Li Mu sneered and said, "If someone sees it, how can it be called a scheming? I once read a book called "Benshan Sketch", which contains many interesting stories.
. One of them is about "Selling Crutches". In the book, the carpenter, in order to sell the crutches he made, deceived a good man into becoming lame, and convinced him that he really thought he was a lame. On the occasion of parting,
I also thanked you loudly. This is the highest level of calculation. I am just imitating it and have not yet grasped its essence."
"I don't know what the bad intentions are." Zhang Tianai snorted. Although she said this, she felt sweet in her heart. All along, she thought that she was just an accessory of Bai Qiaoqiao, because of Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Mu.
Only then was he willing to marry her. But now that he saw that Li Mu would even offend the prince of a country for her, he knew that he also had a place in his heart.
It's just that what Li Mu said today, although it was deliberately said to Ju Zhisheng for the purpose of setting up a game, but he could hear the sincerity in his words. He is not greedy for money, but his love is true. Zhang Tianai's thoughts are more
Simple, although Li Mu made many seemingly very reasonable excuses to rationalize his having four women. But why are these four women all beautiful?
There are also many people who are not so good-looking but have kind hearts? Why Bai Qiaoqiao?
There are also many female slaves with bleak backgrounds and lively personalities? Why Li Zhien?
There are also many ladies who are well-educated and can write and calculate. Why is it Wang Ou?
There are many women who are good at martial arts and have bad tempers, but why me?
Putting all these together, we can draw a conclusion. Isn't it about appearance? He won't want those women who are not beautiful.
But Zhang Tianai is not angry because of this. Now she is also the fourth lady. Doesn't this also mean that she is also very beautiful?
In the past, Zhang Tianai might not have cared about a woman's appearance that pleases her, but now, she does care about it. She has nothing to do these days, and she has also begun to learn to put on makeup.
