"What are you talking about!" Bai Qiaoqiao cried and punched Li Mu, saying, "My father is alive and well, how can you curse him!"
Li Mu quickly apologized, holding Bai Qiaoqiao's little hand, and said: "Then why are you crying?" He glanced at Li Zhien standing next to him and said: "And you girl, why are you so tired? I've been tired all day.
When I got home, I didn’t even have a smile on my face. Did I offend you?”
"Huh!" Li Zhien turned his head away, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him. Li Mu was a little confused, looked at Bai Qiaoqiao and said, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Bai Qiaoqiao gave him a resentful look, stopped crying, and said, "Husband, tell me honestly, have you been to Pingkangfang in the past two days?"
"Yes! I went there yesterday and took a look there today."
"Is that true?"
Li Mu didn't understand, but he heard that Bai Qiaoqiao's tone was wrong, and frowned: "Really, really, but..."
Before the words "but" came out, Bai Qiaoqiao cried again and was about to take her hand away. Li Mu quickly held her in his arms and said, "Why are you crying!"
Li Zhien said quietly from the side: "Madam, I heard other people's gossip. Several ladies came today. When they were choosing things, they chatted. They said that the master got into a fight with someone in Pingkangfang because he was jealous of others.
A brothel was smashed. My wife was sad, so she cried."
"Ah?" Li Mu was stunned and said, "Isn't this nonsense! I have a beautiful wife and concubine at home, and I still go to a brothel to have fun? You can't make up such an exaggerated story!"
After hearing this, Bai Qiaoqiao immediately stopped crying and said, "You didn't go?"
"Gone."
"You still went!" Bai Qiaoqiao cried again, and Li Mu quickly said: "I went, but I'm not jealous. Didn't I tell you about the injury on my arm? A man named Yin Hongzhi stabbed
Yes, he ran a brothel in Pingkangfang. I went there and smashed it up in order to get revenge on him. There is nothing like jealousy. If you don’t believe me, ask Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu is here, so he won’t lie."
As he spoke, Li Mu pulled his neck and shouted: "Jiu'er, come here, your sister-in-law wants to ask you something!"
Dugujiu had been listening to the excitement outside the door for a long time. After hearing the words, he entered the room and pretended not to know anything. He was wearing a mask, so he couldn't tell.
Bai Qiaoqiao looked at Dugu Jiu and asked, "Jiu'er, let me ask you, what did your eldest brother do in Pingkangfang?"
Dugujiu said truthfully: "My eldest brother smashed up a brothel, blocking Prince Hejian inside. That's why I offended Prince Hejian. Later, eldest brother sent me back, saying that if he hadn't come out from the palace by sunset,
Let me go to Tang Shangshu for help. I will not be present for the rest of the matter. But didn’t my elder brother say it last night? The big man recognized the prince of Hejian County as his adoptive father, and the matter was resolved."
Li Mu spread his hands and said: "Look, I didn't lie to you. I am your husband, I am innocent and I have done nothing wrong to you. Someone must be jealous of me and want to mess up our happy life. This person deserves to die. You should
Tell me his name and I will kill him!"
When the truth came out, Bai Qiaoqiao suddenly burst into laughter and squeezed tightly into Li Mu's arms. She said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I knew my husband wouldn't be like that. It's all their nonsense."
.”
"They are just talking nonsense!" Li Mu glanced at Li Zhien next to him, as if to say, why haven't you apologized yet?
Li Zhien was not so easy to fool. She looked at Li Mu and then at Dugu Jiu, and said: "Madam, don't let the master fool you. Their brothers are of one mind, so they naturally want to help cover it up. Didn't you hear Mrs. Sun?
Say, the master's sweetheart is called 'Jiaojiao', and she has a nose and eyes. If it is fake, how can you tell so many details?"
Bai Qiaoqiao had no idea. After hearing what Li Zhien said, she felt it was very reasonable, so she stretched out her hand to push Li Mu: "Don't hug me, go hug that Jiaojiao!"
Of course, Li Mu couldn't let go and glared at Li Zhien fiercely. He knew Bai Qiaoqiao well, and although he was jealous, he wouldn't think about it so deeply. Now he fully understood that Bai Qiaoqiao was this girl.
The movie is deceptive. It is really disgusting. I am so jealous that I don’t dare to come forward, so I trick Qiaoqiao into doing so. He should be beaten!
However, if you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. If you have never done something before, you have never done it before. What are you afraid of? Li Mu said again: "Don't listen to those women's gossip. There is a person like Jiaojiao. But that is the lover of the prince of Hejian County."
, How dare I dare to snatch a woman from the Prince of Hejian County?"
"Oh..." Li Zhien seemed to have grasped something, and immediately said: "To be honest, it's not that the master doesn't want his lover, but he doesn't dare to compete with the Hejian County Prince... Madam, we guessed it right, the master
he"
"Shut up! You are just jealous. You are trying to provoke me and my wife. See if I don't beat you." Li Mu was furious. He let go of Bai Qiaoqiao, pulled Li Zhien over, pressed him on his lap and spanked her twice.
After the first blow, Li Zhien's face turned red with embarrassment. After the second blow, his body became as limp as mud and he could no longer speak.
When Li Mu raised his hand, Dugu Jiu had already turned his attention to the side. He was from a wealthy family and knew etiquette and rules. The principle of "see no evil and hear no evil" had already been integrated into his habits.
After listening for so long just now, he already understood what was going on. His sister-in-law heard gossip from a woman who came to buy things and thought that her eldest brother was in love in Pingkangfang. He knew that there was no such thing. But today he heard it again
Here, Li Mu plans to open a brothel in Pingkangfang. Everything is fine now, but if the brothel opens, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen in the future.
Thinking of the scene of Li Mu and the fireworks girl rubbing their ears together, the pretty face under the mask frowned.
He glanced at Li Mu, who was scolding Li Zhien, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, I can guarantee that this is not the case. If sister-in-law doesn't believe it, wait until eldest brother's brothel opens, go there, and see with your own eyes."
"What?" Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "Xiaojiu, what did you say? Your eldest brother wants to open a brothel?"
Li Mu's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he winked at Dugujiu hurriedly, but Dugujiu seemed to be invisible and continued to say: "Yes, during the meeting at the Ministry of Industry today, the eldest brother said that we need to use the racecourse and the university
Tang Salt Industry and Datang Mining's shares are replacing Pingkangfang's industry. They say they are going to open a big brothel and a gambling shop next to the brothel."
"You're almost done!" Li Mu quickly let go of Li Zhien, rushed over and covered Dugujiu's mouth, and without any explanation, pushed him out of the door. Looking back, he saw his wife and concubine's red eyes and resentful gaze. Li Mu sighed and said:
"Don't cry now, I can explain..."
When Dugujiu heard this from outside, a charming smile appeared on her pretty face under the mask, she hummed happily and went back to her room.
…
Li Mu explained for half a night before he finally made things clear. When it was almost dawn, he barely slept for a while. He didn't even have to eat, let alone do anything else. He didn't know Bai Qiaoqiao.
How did Li Zhien and Li Zhien get such high energy? They didn't eat anything, and they didn't look tired. They asked questions one after another. If there was any hesitation when answering, it's over. Let's explain. One question can lead to three questions.
If you expand it further, you won’t be able to finish it in half an hour.
From the day he planned to reform the Jiaofang Division, Li Mu had thought about various possible problems. Neither the nobles nor the officials scared him, but last night, he really thought about giving up.
I really can't stand it anymore...
Early in the morning, while Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien couldn't help but fall asleep, Li Mu got up, slipped out of the back door, made a circle, and slipped into the back door of Wang Ou's shop. When he came back last night, he saw
When I arrived at Wang Ou's carriage, I knew she was here.
Wang Ou had just woken up and hadn't dressed up yet. When he saw Li Mu coming, he didn't get up in a hurry and helped him undress, and the two got back into bed. Li Mu was so strong that he lost all his mischief and squeezed into Wang Ou's arms.
Inside, I smelled the elegant frankincense and felt drowsy.
Wang Ou looked at Li Mu and felt very distressed. He adjusted his position several times just to make him more comfortable and looked at him without blinking. The maid brought water and wanted her to wash up after that.
He glared and quickly retreated.
Li Mu hugged Wang Ou's fragrant body and wanted to sleep, but he just couldn't. This feeling is commonly known as overcoming the exhaustion. The brain has passed the most tiring period and became excited again. Even though a signal has been sent to tell
The body needs sleep, but highly excited nerves prevent people from entering a sleep state.
This feeling is really uncomfortable.
Li Mu tried hard several times but couldn't fall asleep. He had to open his eyes and looked at Wang Ou pitifully with the same dark circles as Pang Da.
Wang Ou saw that he had opened his eyes, and with a smile on his lips, he asked softly: "What's wrong with my husband? Did you not sleep well last night?"
"Put away your dirty thoughts, it's not what you think."
Wang Ou smiled and said: "The slave family didn't say anything."
Hearing the word 'nujia', Li Mu suddenly thought of the old bustard from Chunfeng Tower. He retched and almost vomited it out. He hurriedly said: "Don't say 'nujia' these two days. As soon as you say 'nujia', I will think of Chunfeng."
The one on the floor"
Suddenly Li Mu stopped. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something stupid.
As expected, Wang Ou's tone became colder, he looked into Li Mu's eyes and said quietly: "Chunfeng Tower? Husband, this place sounds a bit strange?"
Li Mu buried his head in Wang Ou's chest and begged: "I beg you, can you please stop asking... I didn't sleep a wink all night just to explain this matter last night, please spare me, okay?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Wang Ou's mouth. She actually knew everything. The people under her had already reported what happened to her. She knew that Li Mu didn't have a sweetheart. If he had, the sweetheart's body would have been cold by now.
Already.
But she still liked to listen to Li Mu's explanation. She rolled her eyes and sighed: "I'm just the third lady, so I don't dare to ask..."
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you! I'll tell you from the beginning!!"
