Chapter 61: Obscuring the Past
"Oh, there's no time, Murong Tang and his party have already come here, you deal with her first, I'll explain to you when I'm free!"
As soon as the main god slipped away, Murong Tang's voice came from the path leading to the courtyard.
Murong Li didn't go out to greet him, so he stood at the door and waited for Murong Tang.
Murong Tang didn't come alone, and there was still Murong Fei's brother and Aunt Wu's only son, Murong Yi.
Murong Li saw that Murong Tang had brought him here, and his originally relaxed mood became a little nervous.
There weren't too many things about Murong Yi in the memory of his previous life, and he thought about it.
Murong Yi is an upright person and has a steady personality, although he is the oldest among the juniors in Murong Mansion.
But since he was a child, he has been studying wholeheartedly, wanting to gain fame and become an official in the court.
Murong Xiong also has high hopes and trust him, hoping that he can go to his official career.
Although the Murong family is the richest man in Lizhou, he has a rich family background.
However, the business family always wants to let their children enter the court as officials, enter the business and become officials, and improve the status of the family.
Such a person who has not asked about family affairs since he was a child and is dedicated to studying, I don't know what Murong Tang's purpose is when he brought him here?
It's better to be careful, thinking like this, Murong Tang had already entered the courtyard first, and called his sister affectionately.
Murong Li quickly came back to her senses from her thoughts.
Seeing Murong Tang's fake appearance, he felt uncontrollable disdain and disgust in his heart.
But after all, there was another Murong Yi who didn't know what he meant, and he wanted to use this to ridicule Murong Tang, but he had to give up.
After all, according to the memory of the original body, this Murong Yi is a respectable gentleman.
So Murong Li greeted with a smile and greeted the two respectfully into the main hall.
The three of them entered the hall and sat down on their own.
The maids offered fruits, snacks, and tea one by one, and waited on the side.
Murong Li didn't speak, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and slowly sipped it by himself, without looking at the other side.
She deliberately forced Murong Tang to take the initiative to speak.
Murong Li didn't speak, and Murong Yi didn't react, so he picked up the teacup and drank it slowly. No one spoke.
In this kind of situation, even if Murong Tang is a calm person, he can't save face, so he has to open his mouth to explain his intentions.
I saw that she was delicate again, like a white lotus who was being bullied, and said timidly.
"Sister, you must be the master of your sister! That scarlet sister is simply, it's just too bullying! She relied on her mother's pampering and pampering because she was favored by her father when she was alive. I thought that Aunt Wu had made a big mistake and committed suicide in fear of sin, she would be able to restrain herself under her grief, but she didn't expect it to get worse. It's just that she is just a concubine, and she has no backer, although she doesn't dare to make waves in the house anymore, but after being angry, she frequently comes to find trouble with my sister, and my sister is really unbearable to be wronged. Now although my mother is in charge of the house, she is an aunt after all, and important matters still need my sister's sister-in-law to come forward to serve the public, and please sister, you must be the master of your sister!"
As he spoke, he wanted to cry, and he couldn't bear it, so he was about to sit on the ground.
Murong Li looked at her appearance from the side, and sneered in her heart.
Before he could react, he saw Murong Yi quickly step forward and help Murong Tang up.
Watching her sit back, he sat down himself and said.
"Murong Mansion is a family, my mother committed suicide in fear of sin, and my father is also deeply remorseful, I don't want to see the juniors still be so disharmonious. Although Scarlet is very sad, she is so arrogant and domineering, and she must not be connived at. Although Aunt Chen is temporarily in charge of the house, she is only an aunt after all, and if you want to convince the public, you are the most suitable for Li'er, and I hope you can be the master of Tang'er and teach Fei'er a lesson. Leave the rest to me, as a brother, I will definitely strengthen the discipline of Scarlet, and no longer let her be so arrogant and domineering, and wantonly bully her family!"
Murong Li looked at the scene in front of him, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.
This good brother really never asks about family affairs, and he doesn't know anything about the past.
I don't know whether to say that he is simple-minded and too naïve, or that he is dogmatic and a little stupid.
But looking at the meaning of his words, I don't know if it's really unclear.
was still coaxed by Murong Tang, or deliberately shielded.
But he couldn't just save his face, so he simply agreed first.
It's never too late to think about it in the future.
Murong Li thought about it for a long time in his mind, and when he put down the teacup.
With a shallow smile on his face, his tone slowed down slightly, and he said to Murong Yi.
"Since Brother Yi and Sister Tang have asked me for help, as a family, there is no reason not to help with this favor, and I will definitely make decisions for Sister Tang. However, Murong Fei's punishment does not need me to interfere, so it will be handed over to Brother Yi and Aunt Chen, after all, Aunt Chen is the main thing in the house. In the same way, this matter can't rely on me alone, after all, I am a junior, and I am also a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet, and it may be difficult to convince the public by relying on me alone, so it is better for the three of us to discuss together. Is there any good way for the two of you to help the Murong family through this crisis?"
On this topic, Murong Tang did not put forward any ideas and suggestions, but just casually echoed a few words.
The rest of the time, it's nothing more than drinking tea and eating snacks.
When I finally left, I brought a few snacks back to my yard, but that's another story.
Murong Yi talked eloquently and put forward several practical and effective suggestions.
There are ways to expand the business of the Murong Mansion, and there are also feasible measures to reward and punish the prefecture.
Murong Li and Murong Yi discussed for a long time, and when Murong Tang was beside him, he couldn't help but hide his face with his sleeves and yawn gently.
The two of them woke up from a dream.
Realizing that it was getting late, Murong Yi and Murong Tang immediately said goodbye and left, leaving Murong Li alone to sit and think quietly.
I thought that the son taught by Murong Xiong and Aunt Wu was either a straw bag or some kind of unscrupulous person.
The original body's good impression of him was only because he had lived in the boudoir for a long time.
I haven't met this brother a few times, and I can't know anyone clearly.
Now that I see it, I realize that all the previous speculations are just prejudice.
This Murong Yi is really a talented and upright gentleman, no wonder he has high hopes for Murong Xiong and Aunt Wu.
Sent to a private school to study at a very young age, it is really not to be underestimated.
Murong Tang came to him today to discuss many matters in the mansion with him.
It's certainly not as simple as it seems, and you must be careful in the future.
Just as Murong Li was sitting alone and meditating, someone suddenly knocked on the door gently, waking Murong Li up from his thoughts.
I didn't want to pay attention to it, but the people outside the door were extremely patient and kept knocking outside the door.
There is a posture of not stopping if you don't come to open the door, so Murong Li has to step forward to open the door.
Outside the door, Nalan Qi looked at her with a grin, and saw that she didn't move or speak.
Thinking that Murong Li was angry, he hurriedly raised the food box he was carrying in his hand and said.
"Little pear, look at what your husband has brought you! Dangdangdang! Your favorite crystal elbow, steamed pork ribs, steamed sea bass and freshly baked osmanthus cake! There is also osmanthus nectar made by the chef in my house on the osmanthus cake! Not to mention how sweet it is, come and eat it!"
Murong Li had just discussed with Murong Yi and Murong Tang for a long time, and it was when she was hungry.
I think that some people will wonder if they have eaten or not, and whether they have eaten well.
I also deliberately sent my favorite meals over.
Comparing the so-called "family members" around me, I suddenly felt warm in my heart.
So Murong Li stepped forward and gently wrapped his arm around Nalan Qi's neck.
Forcing him to put down the cloth dish he was busy with and make eye contact with her.
The two of them looked at each other affectionately for a long time, and the atmosphere was so romantic.
Suddenly, the main god in Murong Li's brain spoke sourly.
"Oh you, it's so romantic, host, I came to tell you that Nalan Qi's favorability towards you has risen to 80. In other words, the side effects of the original poison have basically disappeared, and you can have intimate contact, but don't go too far and too often......"
After saying that, the main god, whose face turned red, disappeared.
However, Murong Li, who heard these words outside, blushed even more than the main god.
It's just that this time, even if she was a little shy, she didn't dodge, but kissed Nalan Qi inseparably.
The two sat down for dinner, and Murong Li told Nalan Qi about Murong Tang and Murong Yi coming to beg her.
They talked for a while, until the moon hung high in the night sky, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
