"What's going on out there?"

In the haze, Mu Yao seemed to hear the noise, it seemed that the housekeeper was teaching people, but I didn't know which door he had touched this morning.

"No problem."

Xie Chongning pushed open the door and said, when he walked to the bedside, there was still a hint of coolness, he should have been out for a while.

Mu Yao was shocked to realize that there was no one beside her, and she was about to stand up, when the pain from her palm made her fall back again, "Hiss!" ”

"How did you be so careless!" Xie Chongning said coldly.

was accustomed to seeing Xie Chongning's pampered and unfazed appearance, but now this panicked appearance made Mu Yao stunned.

Xie Chongning also realized that something was wrong with him, restrained his expression, and only sent the medicine bowl over, seeing Mu Yao frowning, he took out a bag of candied fruit from his arms.

Mu Yao still pursed her mouth, but she couldn't resist Xie Chongning, and she didn't want people to feel that she was hypocritical, so she had to swallow it in one go.

"Can you get up, sir?" Zhang Wei's voice sounded outside the door, and Xie Chongning frowned slightly, seemingly extremely impatient.

"Miss Zhang must have something important, adults may wish to listen to it."

When she spoke, Mu Yao was already dressed neatly, although Zhang Wei didn't like it, but now they were grasshoppers on a rope.

"Come in."

Xie Chongning watched Mu Yao dress up properly before he relented. Fortunately, Mu Yao usually doesn't use powder, if it is another girl, I am afraid that Zhang Wei will have to wait until noon.

"Mrs. Xie is really blessed, she can lie on the bed at three poles in the sun," Zhang Wei smiled, "Unlike me, I have to get up every day just after the end of the day." ”

"My mother said that a woman's family should know three obedience and four virtues, and the husband is the most important, I have always kept it in mind," Speaking of this, Zhang Wei's face was slightly red, and she glanced at Xie Chongning timidly, "It just so happened that I met an adult in the morning." ”

Mu Yao couldn't help laughing, this was saying that she didn't understand the three obedience and four virtues, and was not worthy of being a wife? I thought that Zhang Wei had something important, but I didn't think it was to satirize her.

However, what Zhang Wei said does have some truth, three from four virtues, as a modern person, she can't do it.

"Decoction of medicine." Xie Chongning looked at Mu Yao and said.

Mu Yao felt that Xie Chongning seemed to be getting more and more strange, and he actually decocted medicine for her personally, and seemed to be explaining why he met Zhang Wei, which made Mu Yao more and more puzzled.

"Miss Zhang isn't here just to see that I'm unruly, right?"

Ignoring the strangeness in her heart, Mu Yao blinked her eyes, Zhang Wei's words did not affect her.

"Mrs. Xie laughed," Zhang Wei bit her lip unwillingly, and finally could only smile and replied, "I heard that Guangping is waiting for the 100-day banquet of the young son, and we are specially invited to go there." ”

"Hundred Days Banquet ......" Mu Yao supported her chin with one hand, rolled her eyes a few times, and muttered to herself, "Hundred Days Banquet, ......"

"Exactly, I don't know if Mrs. Xie has ever heard that a mother is more expensive than a child?" Zhang Wei continued, with a smug expression, "Guangping waited for the old man to have a son, feasted everyone, and the inconspicuous concubine was also carried as a side lady. ”

Mu Yao finally knew Zhang Wei's true intention, but she and Xie Chongning were not husband and wife, so why should a mother be more expensive than a child?

Mu Yao raised his head slightly, and then bumped into Xie Chongning's inquiring gaze, and touched his nose in embarrassment, how could he suddenly have a feeling of being a thief.

"Miss Zhang has long-term ambitions, and I really can't compare." Mu Yao was too lazy to deal with Zhang Wei, but it didn't mean that she could tolerate her repeated provocations.

"It's just that a concubine is a concubine after all, even if the mother is expensive with her son, how expensive can it be? It's just a change of name. ”

"I only think about how to raise my eyebrows with my husband and stabilize my life, but I haven't thought about being a concubine, how to be a mother and a son, since Miss Zhang has a lot of experience in this way, it is better to teach it to others."

Zhang Wei's face was red by Mu Yao's series of words, she just wanted to humiliate Mu Yao, and she had been married for a while, but her stomach did not move at all.

was grabbed by Mu Yao and sarcastically wanted to be a concubine. What about being a concubine! Sooner or later, she will become Xie Chongning's only wife.

Mu Yao looked at Zhang Wei's resentful gaze and was slightly relieved. It's just that for some reason, Xie Chongning also had a smile on the corner of his mouth, although it was very shallow, he was still noticed by Mu Yao.

What is Xie Chongning laughing at? Could it be that he was moved by Zhang Wei's vague confession? Mu Yao shook his head, Xie Chongning shouldn't have such a strong taste.

"Mrs. Xie has sharp teeth, I ......" Zhang Wei had tears in the corners of her eyes, and her voice was soft, "I didn't mean that, why should Mrs. ...... Why do you say this to make fun of me? ”

Mu Yao didn't want to look at Zhang Wei's face anymore, she only felt that her eyes were dirty, she had not eaten after getting up for a while, but fortunately she hadn't eaten, otherwise she would have vomited.

"Lord Xie, Mrs. Xie, the morning meal has arrived."

The housekeeper greeted him a few times outside, and a few maids brought the food in, and Zhang Wei had no choice but to put away her tears and leave reluctantly.

It happened that Wuchen came over, and Mu Yao beckoned him to sit down and eat together.

"My lord, Wuchen, I think this is a good opportunity." Mu Yao put it down after a few bites, and now that she is in danger, she has no appetite.

"How?" Xie Chongning also put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Mu Yao, the little woman in front of him always seemed to surprise him.

"There are many people, so it's easy to get things done, and Guangping seems to have relaxed about us in the past two days." Mu Yao frowned slightly, and then said, "This is also a question I wonder about, why did Guangping Hou suddenly relax his surveillance of us?" ”

"Tempting the enemy." Wuchen said.

Mu Yao thought for a moment, seemed to understand a little, and said tentatively: "The 100-day banquet is just a pretense, in order to lure us into action?" ”

Xie Chongning showed an approving gaze, and looked at Mu Yu's expression softened a little.

"Guangping Hou is really a good abacus, and his appetite is even bigger, so he wants to catch them all." After dust-free on-demand, Mu Yao can be regarded as figuring out the key.

Although Xie Chongning is trapped, the foundation is still there, and there are also his people in Yancheng, if he is suddenly killed, those people must be a lot of trouble.

If you use this 100-day feast to catch them all, you can rest easy. It's a pity that he is negligent and underestimates Xie Chongning and Wuchen.

"However, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out." Mu Yao thought about it carefully, knowing that this was the Hongmen banquet in Guangping, she had to leave.

The epidemic in Yancheng is serious, and if it is not treated, I am afraid it will really become a dead city.

"Then Yao'er has a countermeasure?"

"The weather has been dry in recent days, and if you accidentally walk in the water, there is nothing wrong with it." Mu Yao smiled slightly.

In addition, today is the 100-day banquet of the son of Guangping Hou, there are many people, and it is reasonable that there is an accident, she doesn't say these words, Xie Chongning and Wuchen can also guess it.

"It's just that Guangping is afraid that it won't let us survive this day in peace."

Sure enough, as soon as Mu Yao's words fell, he saw the housekeeper walk in with someone, and said with a smile: "Master Xie, Mrs. Xie, Master Wuchen are all here, can you still use this morning food?" ”

"Very good." Mu Yao looked at the table full of leftovers and began to open her eyes and talk nonsense.

"That's good, otherwise, Master Hou will definitely punish me." The housekeeper only smiled and answered, regardless of whether it was true or not, "A few of you have a good morning meal, I don't know if you can go to the front hall to talk to my lord?" ”

"Please tell Master Hou to wait for a while, and my family will tidy up their clothes and go over."

The housekeeper bowed his head, and when he went out, his face was smiling, and he was even more disdainful in his heart, Xie Chongning and the others were now prisoners under the ranks, if it wasn't still useful, which round would they bargain with.

"Let Hou Ye wait for a long time."

Mu Yao saw that Xie Chongning had no intention of speaking, and Guang Pinghou's face was getting more and more ugly, so he had no choice but to speak up.

"Mrs. Xie's words are serious," Guangping Hou's words were full of sarcasm, "I'm just a little marquis in Yancheng, how can I compare to Lord Xie in the capital, the celebrity in front of the saint." ”

"Why should Master Hou be humble, who doesn't know the prestige of Guangping Hou, and although the capital is beautiful on the surface, it is quite elbowed, Yancheng is so prosperous, I and the adults are all lingering!"

Xie Chongning looked at his lady making up nonsense, only smiled slightly, remembering that the current occasion seemed inappropriate, and restrained his smile and echoed slightly.

was praised by Mu Yao, Guang Pinghou laughed proudly, "Mrs. Xie is so eloquent, Lord Xie has a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!" ”

"It's a blessing indeed."

Xie Chongning rarely opened his mouth, and he still praised his wife, Rao is Guangping waiting, and he was stunned for a long time.

"I don't know Master Hou, what did you want to discuss when you asked us to come this time?" The atmosphere in the room was slightly wrong, and Mu Yao had to get back to the point.

"Mrs. Xie's heartfelt words just now, I was also very touched when I heard it, Yancheng is my life, and my only wish is to make Yancheng prosperous like the imperial capital, but I am only shallow in my studies, and I have always been unable to do it."

Guangping looked at the city with a sad expression, "Although the epidemic has not affected Yancheng now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other disasters, so I have a reluctant request." ”

Mu Yao patiently listened to what Guangping Hou said for a long time, and finally arrived at the key place, pricking up his ears and listening carefully.

"Lord Xie has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and he also has a compassionate heart, although Yancheng is small, but if Lord Xie is willing to stay, I will not be disadvantaged!"

If you don't know, you may really be moved by Guang Pinghou's "true words" and stay alive. It's a pity that Mu Yao has seen through his essence and is an out-and-out hypocrite.

Even Mu Yao could see it, let alone Xie Chongning, but there were some things that were not suitable to say now.

"If the Hou Ye can't do it, then I can't do anything." Xie Chongning said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Lord Xie, is this unwilling?" Although Guang Pinghou still had a smile on his face, anyone could see that he was unhappy at this time.

"Hou Ye misunderstood," Mu Yao took over, "What the Lord means is that Yancheng is prosperous enough now, and Hou Ye's resourcefulness is obvious to everyone, and as for staying, it is not up to the Lord to have the final say." ”

After all, Xie Chongning is doing things for the emperor, and as an official of the imperial court, every move is decided by the emperor, so Xie Chongning can call the shots.
