"What do I think it is? Tomorrow I will give you a dozen or twenty hairpins, aren't they just hairpins? No, my husband will make them for you with his own hands. The hairpins I made are much better than what you can buy."
Li Mu picked up Wang Ou and saw that Wang Ou was still looking at the dead little snake. Li Mu thought she still couldn't bear to part with the hairpin and said, "My husband is wrong. I will definitely not touch your things next time. Otherwise, I will
Make one exactly the same for you?"
Wang Ou retracted his gaze, squeezed out a smile, and said: "It's okay, it's just a hairpin, isn't it?"
"That's right, be good," Li Mu put Wang Ou back on the bed. He also lay down, arranged the quilt, covered Wang Ou, and said, "Go to sleep, we will visit mother tomorrow.
It’s time to tell mother about the matter.”
"Yeah." Wang Ou responded and gently closed her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep. She was wondering why the snake appeared here, and also wondered whether Li Mu knew something, so he killed it.
After seeing the snake, all kinds of messy thoughts were entangled together, how could I sleep.
It was daylight. After a simple tidying up and some porridge, Wang Ou asked his servants to prepare gifts and went to the Duke's Mansion with Li Mu to meet his mother Sun. When Sun learned about Li Mu and Wang Ou,
Although she was surprised, she didn't blame her. Although she was about the same age as Wang Ou, from the perspective of a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law, Wang Ou really couldn't find anything wrong with her, she was just a little embarrassed.
Although they were embarrassed, Mrs. Sun also knew how to keep secrets. She dismissed the servants and chatted with the couple for a while. She also gave Wang Ou a meeting gift, a pair of jade bracelets, and sent them away. It was not that they were not welcome.
Instead, Tang Jian would wait a little longer. If he bumped into him, there would be no explanation.
Li Mu also understood, so he took Wang Ou away. After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Li Mu wanted to take Wang Ou back to the valley to meet Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien, but he was declined.
"I am now contented with my husband as we are married. I don't want to go to the valley anymore and make my sister Qiaoqiao suspicious and uneasy. If it affects her pregnancy, it will be my fault. If you have time, please come and see me."
Just looking at me is enough, don't dare to ask for too much. Yesterday you stayed with me, now it's time for you to go back. If I dominate you, it will appear that I am a jealous woman."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Who thinks about this? You just have too many worries. Just follow you. I will go back to the valley and come see you tomorrow."
"Thank you for your understanding, husband."
The two said goodbye, and Li Mu rode a horse back to the valley. However, Wang Ou's carriage did not return to her house, but twisted around and left the city through the east gate.
Six miles outside the city, there is a small village. This small village was originally a refuge village during the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty. Now it has become a cargo station attached to Chang'an City. Merchants traveling to the southeast cannot afford to rent warehouses in Chang'an City.
, you will choose to build the warehouse here.
Wang Ou's silks and satins are also stored here. Every time the goods arrive, she will come. Her warehouse is very large, one of the best in this small village, and she hires many workers to look after it. Silk is the best
Afraid of open flames and the lack of people.
The carriage stopped in the courtyard, Wang Ou got out of the carriage, and someone immediately closed the door of the courtyard. After making sure that there were no outsiders around, a group of clerks knelt down and said, "Welcome to the saint."
"Get up, how is the leader doing now?"
"In the early hours of the morning, the leader suddenly started bleeding from all his orifices, and he is still unconscious. We have tried our best, but we are still helpless. We can only wait for the saint to make a decision."
"Guard the door, I'll go see the leader."
After Wang Ou finished speaking, he stepped into the warehouse on the east side. After the door was closed, the warehouse was a closed and lightless space, and it was cold and damp. It didn't look like a place for people, but more like a cave for wild beasts.
Wang Ou closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were like those of a snake. She could see the scenery clearly in the darkness without any obstacles.
In the corner, there was a simple bed. Lying on the bed was a pale and thin man. Blood was slowly flowing out of the corners of his eyes, nostrils, and mouth. He looked like a dead man, but when he walked in, he could see
Yes, he was breathing, but very, very slowly, and you couldn't find it without careful observation.
Wang Ou walked up to him, pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and helped him wipe away the bleeding blood. He also took out a small porcelain bottle, poured a pill from it, and stuffed it from the corner of his mouth.
After the pill was stuffed in, the man's face gradually regained some color. After a while, he opened his eyes. What was striking was that his eyes were green, emitting fluorescence in the darkness, like two fireflies.
stone.
He still couldn't move, but his eyes could. He looked at Wang Ou with an angry look, and he slowly spoke with a hoarse voice: "Kill him."
"You broke our agreement."
"Kill him!"
"Promise me not to hurt him!"
"Kill him!"
"You promised me not to hurt him, and that's why I promised you!" Wang Ou said loudly: "Cui Yuzheng, you are so despicable, you went back on your word!"
"Hiss... I'm despicable? Wang Ou, don't forget that you are the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and you are married to my Cui family! You are the wife of my Ming matchmaker! How can you have feelings for Li Mu! You have a relationship with him
Feelings mean betraying me, you shameless woman! Aren't you afraid that I will expose the matter and tell you that the Taiyuan Wang family has such a shameless descendant like you?"
"You asked me to go"
"Yes, I asked you to borrow the seeds!" Cui Yuzheng hissed: "But why did I become like this! Isn't it because of you?! If it weren't for you, I would be like this? Wang Ou, you owe me
Yes, you will always owe me!"
Tears welled up in Wang Ou's eyes. She had no way to refute that Cui Yuzheng became like this, and it was indeed her fault. But she also had infinite grievances in her heart. Who could she tell?
After being silent for a long time, Wang Ou said in a harsh voice: "Your 'Life Dragon' has been destroyed and your body has been severely injured. You should take good care of your injuries. I will see you again in a few days."
"I asked you to kill him, did you hear it? If you take the secret medicine I gave you, you will definitely be able to get pregnant. He is no longer useful, so why do you want to keep him? Wang Ou, don't forget,
Your life is tied to mine. If you don't listen to me, I will bite my tongue and kill myself, and you will die too. It's better for me to die than to live like this. I'm not afraid of anything. You decide what to do!"
"Can you let me think about it? I beg you!"
"Haha, we really have feelings..." Cui Yuzheng laughed miserably, and suddenly burst out laughing again: "Okay, I'll give you time to think about it, let's see!"
