"What are you talking about?" Bai Qiaoqiao cried and punched Li Mu and said, "My father is alive and well, how can you curse him!" ”

Li Mu hurriedly made amends, held Bai Qiaoqiao's little hand, and said, "Then why are you crying?" He glanced at Li Zhien who was standing next to him again, and said, "And you girl, what kind of wind is smoking, I came home after a tired day, and I didn't even have a smile, did I mess with you?" ”

"Humph!" Li Zhien turned his head away, looking like he didn't want to pay attention to him. Li Mu was a little stunned, looked at Bai Qiaoqiao, and said, "Lady, what's wrong?" ”

Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at him resentfully, stopped crying, and sobbed: "Husband, tell me honestly, have you gone to Pingkangfang in the past two days?" ”

"Yes! I went there yesterday, and I went there today. ”

"Is that true?"

Li Mu didn't understand, but he heard that Bai Qiaoqiao's tone was wrong, and he frowned and said, "It's true, it's true, but it's ......."

Before the words came out, Bai Qiaoqiao cried again, and was about to withdraw his hand, Li Mu hurriedly hugged her in his arms and said, "Why are you crying!" ”

Li Zhien said quietly beside him: "Madame listened to the gossip of others, and several noble ladies came today, and when they were choosing things, they chatted. said that the owner was jealous because of the competition with others, and he fought with people in Pingkangfang, and smashed a green building. Madame was sad, so she cried. ”

"Huh?" Li Mu was dumbfounded and said, "Isn't this nonsense!" I have a beautiful wife and concubine at home, and I still go to the Qinglou to find fun? You can't make up a story like that! ”

Bai Qiaoqiao listened, immediately stopped crying, and said, "You didn't go?" ”

"Go."

"You're still going!" Bai Qiaoqiao cried again, and Li Mu hurriedly said: "I'm going, but I'm not jealous of others." Didn't I tell you about the injury on my arm, a man named Yin Hongzhi was stabbed, he ran a green building in Pingkangfang, and I smashed it in the past to take revenge on him. What to be jealous of, there is no such thing at all. If you don't believe it, ask Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu is there, he won't lie. ”

As he spoke, Li Mu pulled his neck and shouted, "Jiu'er, come here, your sister-in-law asks you something!" ”

Dugu Jiu listened to the excitement outside the door for a long time, and when he heard the words, he entered the house and pretended not to know anything. He was wearing a mask and couldn't see it.

Bai Qiaoqiao looked at Dugu Jiu and asked, "Jiu'er, let me ask you, what did your eldest brother do in Pingkangfang?" ”

Dugu Jiu said truthfully: "The eldest brother smashed the Qinglou of the family, just blocking the king of Hejian in it." That's why I provoked the king of Hejian County, and then my eldest brother sent me back, saying that if he hadn't come out of the palace at sunset, he would let me go to Tang Shangshu for help. I'm not here for the rest of the matter. But didn't the eldest brother say it last night, the big man recognized the king of Hejian as his father-in-law, and the matter was resolved. ”

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you." Your husband and I are innocent, I didn't do anything sorry for you, someone must be jealous of me and want to disrupt our happy life, this person should die, you tell me his name, I will kill him! ”

When the truth was revealed, Bai Qiaoqiao suddenly burst into tears and laughed, squeezed tightly in Li Mu's arms, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, I knew that my husband wouldn't be like that, they all talked nonsense." ”

"It's just they talking nonsense!" Li Mu glanced at Li Zhien next to him, as if to say, why don't you apologize?

Li Zhien was not so easy to fool, she looked at Li Mu, then at Dugu Jiu, and said, "Madam, don't be fooled by the master." Their brothers have one heart, so they naturally want to help cover it up. Didn't you hear Mrs. Sun say, the master's good looks are called 'Jiaojiao', who has a nose and eyes, if it is fake, how can you tell so many details? ”

Bai Qiaoqiao was at a loss, and when she heard Li Zhien's words, she felt that it made sense, so she reached out and pushed 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 understands Bai Qiaoqiao, although he is also jealous, but he doesn't think so deeply. Now he fully understands that Bai Qiaoqiao's appearance was bewitched by this girl. It's really hateful, I don't dare to come out when I eat flying vinegar, so I flickered and cleverly came out, I should fight!

But the body is not afraid of the shadow, what has not been done is not done, what are you afraid of! Li Mu said again: "Don't listen to those women chewing the root of their tongues, Jiaojiao is there." But that's the good friend of the king of Hejian County, how dare I dare to rob a woman with the king of Hejian County? ”

"Oh......" Li Zhien seemed to grasp something, and immediately said: "To be honest, the master doesn't want to get along, but he doesn't dare to rob the king of Hejian County...... Ma'am, we guessed right, master he-"

"Shut up! Eat flying vinegar, provoke me and my wife, and see that I don't hit you. Li Mu was furious, let go of Bai Qiaoqiao, dragged Li Zhien over, pressed him on his leg and slapped his ass twice. After the first blow, Li Zhien blushed with shame, and after the second blow, his body was as weak as mud, and he couldn't speak.

Dugu Jiu turned his gaze to the side as early as when Li Mu raised his hand. He was born in the big gate, he knows the etiquette and rules, and the principle of not seeing and listening to incivility has been integrated into the habit.

He'd been listening to it for so long, and he had already understood what was going on. The sister-in-law heard the gossip of a woman who had come to buy things, and thought that the eldest brother had a good relationship in Pingkangfang. He knew there was no such thing. But today he heard again that Li Mu planned to open a green building in Pingkangfang. It's okay now, but if this green building is opened, it's hard to guarantee that nothing will happen in the future.

Thinking of the scene of Li Mu and the fireworks woman grinding their ears and temples, the pretty face under the mask frowned.

He glanced at Li Mu, who was reprimanding Li Zhien, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, I can vouch for my eldest brother, there is no such thing." If the sister-in-law doesn't believe it, wait for the eldest brother's Qinglou to open, go and see for yourself. ”

"What?" Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes widened in disbelief; "Xiao Jiu, what did you say? Your eldest brother wants to open a green building? ”

Li Mu's eyes almost popped out, and he hurriedly glanced at Dugu Jiu, but Dugu Jiu seemed to be invisible, and was still saying, "Yes, when I was in the Ministry of Industry today, the eldest brother said it." It is necessary to use the shares of the racecourse, Datang Salt Industry and Datang Mining to replace the industry of Pingkangfang. Said that he was going to open a big green building, and he was going to open a gambling house next to the green building-"

"You're almost!" Li Mu hurriedly let go of Li Zhien, rushed over to cover Dugu Jiu's mouth, and pushed him out of the door. Turning around, seeing the red eyes and resentful eyes of his wife and concubine, Li Mu sighed and said, "Don't be busy crying first, I can explain ......"

When Dugu Jiu heard this outside, a trace of a soul-stirring smile appeared on his pretty face under the mask, and he happily hummed a little tune and went back to his room.

……

Li Mu explained for half a night before he could be regarded as making things clear. When it was almost dawn, I barely slept for a while. I didn't have anything to eat, let alone do anything else. I don't know where Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien got such vigorous energy, they didn't eat, and they couldn't see that they were tired, the questions were one after another, if they were answered, there was a little hesitation, it's over, let's explain, a question can lead to three, and then expand it, and it won't be able to get around in half an hour.

From the day Li Mu planned to reform the Teaching Division, he had thought about all kinds of possible problems. Neither the honorable nor the officials scared him, but last night, he really thought about giving up.

I can't stand it anymore......

Early in the morning, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien couldn't stay up and fell asleep. Li Mu got up, slipped out of the back door, went around in a circle, and slipped into the back door of Wang Ou's shop. When he came back last night, he saw Wang Ou's carriage and knew that she was here.

Wang Ou has also just woken up and has not yet made up. Seeing that Li Mu was coming, he was not in a hurry to get up, waited for him to be wide-dressed, and the two of them went back to the bed. Li Mu was so bad that his bad thoughts were gone, and he squeezed into Wang Ou's arms, sniffing the elegant frankincense, and was groggy.

Wang Ou looked at Li Mu's appearance, his heart was distressed, and he adjusted his posture several times, just to make him more comfortable, and looked at him without blinking. The maid brought water and wanted her to wash after that, but she glared at her and hurriedly retreated.

Li Mu hugged Wang Ou's fragrant body and wanted to sleep, but he just couldn't sleep. This feeling is commonly known as getting through the heat. The brain has gone through its most exhausting period and is back excited. Even though there are signals that the body needs to sleep, the highly excited nerves are preventing people from falling asleep.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

Li Mu tried several times, but he couldn't sleep. I had to open my eyes, with the same dark circles as Fat Da, and looked at Wang Ou pitifully.

Wang Ou saw that he had opened his eyes, with a smile on his lips, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you, husband, didn't you 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 'slave family', Li Mu suddenly remembered the old bustard in Chunfeng Building, retched for a while, almost vomited, and hurriedly said: "Don't say 'slave family' in the past two days, as soon as you say slave family, I can think of Chunfeng Building——"

Suddenly, Li Mu stopped, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something stupid.

Sure enough, Wang Ou's tone became cold, looked at Li Mu's eyes, and said quietly: "Chunfeng Building?" Husband, this place sounds a little strange, huh? ”

Li Mu buried his head in Wang Ou's chest and begged, "I beg you, can you not ask...... I didn't close my eyes all night last night just to explain this, so spare me, okay-"

The corners of Wang Ou's mouth hooked a smile, she actually knew everything. The people under her have already reported to her what happened. She knew that Li Mu didn't get along, and if she did, the good body would be cold at this time.

But she still likes to listen to Li Mu's explanation, her eyes rolled, and she sighed leisurely: "Who made me just a third lady, don't dare to ask......"

"Good, good! I say! I'll start from the beginning!! ”
