Chapter 117: Family Interests

In the evening, after Zhou Jianxiong returned to the house, Zhou Xiya informed him about Zhou Xiwan's visit to the house.

"The third prince has just become the crown prince, and he can't wait to ascend to the throne, he is really anxious." Zhou Jianxiong sneered.

"Dad, since the third prince is about to start, should we find a way to stop him and remind Your Majesty?" Zhou Xiya asked.

"No, we don't participate in this kind of thing, even if the third prince succeeds, there are still four princes, five princes, Your Majesty is old, it is time to abdicate, as for the third prince, let him toss it, when he tosses all the qi of Dayan, it is time to usher in a new atmosphere." Zhou Jianxiong looked out the window at the dark clouds, which was a precursor to heavy rain, just like the country now, stormy and stormy.

"Daddy?" Zhou Xiya was puzzled, and asked what father, as the protector general of Dayan, would not turn the tide and save the country at this time.

"Daughter, you remember, we are a family, no matter how the dynasty changes, the most important thing is to keep the status and interests of our family, nothing else matters, the court has changed, the emperor has changed, as long as our family is still there, the third prince is not a good emperor, not worthy of our support, our major families have secretly made a decision to give up on him and wait for a new dynasty to come." Zhou Jianxiong's voice came faintly.

"Dad, you are so selfish, can you disregard the life and death of the people for your benefit, and how many people will die if you change the dynasty!" Zhou Xiya looked at her father in disbelief.

"It's not up to you," Zhou Jianxiong glared at his daughter.

"Then tell me, it's always okay for you to support the snobbery of any side" Zhou Xiya looked at her father fearlessly.

"Xiao Family" Zhou Jianxiong was defeated in the end. I had to tell her.

"The Xiao family? Hehe, you are a good candidate, Marquis Xiao is ambitious, support him to take the position, you can get a lot of benefits, I can see the face of the family clearly" Zhou Xiya ran out after speaking.

Zhou Jianxiong shook his head helplessly, they were forced to do this out of helplessness, in order for the family to continue, there will always be someone to pay.

After a night of heavy rain, the next day the weather was clear

Zhou Xiya went out of the house to find Li Mu. At this time, Li Mu was eating breakfast. Zhou Xiya was stunned when she saw Zhou Xiya walking in.

"Why did you come here so early today, did you have breakfast?"

"No, I'm in a bad mood, so I'll come to you. Take me out of the capital. I want to leave this land of right and wrong. I think my uncle and aunt, they should be collecting medicine in the 100,000 mountains, take me to them, okay? Zhou Xiya took Li Mu's hand and begged.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Li Mu was puzzled. Xiya is not a person who can mess around, why is she making trouble now that she is going to the south.

"No one bullied me, but I was a little disappointed, I felt that the people in the capital were too complicated, and I just wanted to go out and relax." Zhou Xiya sighed.

"But your safety?" After experiencing Xiya's kidnapping, Li Mu admitted that he was a little scared, and he couldn't afford to go through such a thing again.

"I'll bring more guards, and I'm sure you'll keep me safe, won't you?" Zhou Xiya looked at Li Mu with a look of trust.

"Okay, as long as your father agrees, I'll take you out" In the end, Li Mu surrendered.

"A word is a certainty," Zhou Xiya smiled.

――――――――

Half a month later, Zhou Xiya and Li Mu left the capital, this time there were twice as many guards as before, and Bijin was strictly ordered by Zhou Jianxiong not to leave Zhou Xiya for a single step, and to protect her closely, even if she slept in the same room.

After going out of the city and breathing fresh air, Zhou Xiya was in a good mood, now that it was summer, only one morning and one night were suitable for rushing, or it would be too sinful to rush at noon.

Passing by a peach orchard on the way, Zhou Xiya went down and bought a lot of peaches with the owner of the orchard, washed them with stream water, jumped into the carriage, sat on the carriage, Li Mulai was the coachman, and the two chatted while eating peaches.

"What is the business of going to the south this time?" Zhou Xiya swallowed a mouthful of peaches and asked.

"Sell weapons, I have a weapons factory in the south, and now that Marquis Xiao has made a move, I naturally want to take the opportunity to make a profit, Marquis Xiao has already sent someone to negotiate, and my boss must always go over to supervise it." Li Mu finished eating his own peaches, and took a bite of what Zhou Xiya had in his hand, thinking that it was still delicious in Zhou Xiya's hand.

"Aren't weapons regulated? How can you be private? Zhou Xiya was stunned for a moment.

"Weapons are regulated, but who said that they can't be made privately, otherwise Marquis Xiao is secretly preparing the army, where did those weapons and horses come from, they are not produced by himself, and now it is just that the quality of the production of my weapons factory is better, so he came to buy me, and the purchase volume is still very large, our Marquis Xiao is really rich, otherwise he has ambitions to be the emperor." Li Mu said with a smile, as long as there are enough benefits, let alone weapons, even if it is a spear and a cannon, he can make it.

"I really don't know what business you don't do?" Zhou Xiya looked Li Mu up and down, and after being with Li Mu for a long time, she couldn't find more places where Li Mu was.

"I don't know this myself, I only know what I do to make money." Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"Profiteers"

"Thanks for the compliment"

"Li Mu, I suddenly found that I have no goal in life, I don't know what I should do?" Zhou Xiya leaned on Li Mu's shoulder, and as the carriage turned, her legs drooped down and swayed.

"I'll set a goal for you, marry me, give me a baby, raise a child, and train an excellent successor?" Li Mu looked at Zhou Xiya half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"you, who wants to give you a baby" Zhou Xiya pushed Li Mu's head away.

"You, husband and children are one of the most important jobs of a woman, if you have children, you will not be so idle." Li Mu smiled.

"Change one" Zhou Xiya glared, so she didn't want to revolve around her husband and children all day long.

"Husband earns money and daughter-in-law, I'll just give you a task, you can help me spend money, there are so many people in need of relief in the world, I am willing to use the money in my name to do charity, why don't you come forward to do this." Li Mu thought of something that Zhou Xiya could do, she had been helping him to relieve the people affected by the disaster before, she was patient and caring, but she could be a charitable person.

"But what if I run out of money?" Zhou Xiya was a little moved.

"You can rest assured that you can spend it, what your man has is money, as long as you don't spend it all, just leave some for you and your children to spend, you don't have to worry about other things, I will transfer it to you as much as you want." Li Mu said angrily.

"Go, three sentences are inseparable from having children" Zhou Xiya blushed.

"I'm old, most people are as old as me, and the children born can make soy sauce, I'm all your people, and the money is all for you, you have to be responsible for me" Li Mu deliberately pretended to be pitiful.

"Okay, I'll take care of you, you obediently go to earn money, I'll let you eat radish pickles every day, otherwise how can you be worthy of your love." Zhou Xiya pretended to be serious and said.

"The most poisonous woman's heart," Li Mu wailed.

"Giggles......" Zhou Xiya's crisp laughter came from the carriage. (To be continued......)
