Chapter 45: Wishful thinking

Outside the old lady's room, there was a lot of bluegrass. Mo Xiaoqi pushed the door in and saw the untouched furnishings.

According to Hongyi, when the old lady was found, she died in bed.

Mo Xiaoqi secretly swore that he would definitely seek justice for the old lady.

"Xiaoqi, you seem to be very familiar with Old Madam Li." Zhao Zimu asked casually.

"Well, come often, the old lady treats me very well, like a granddaughter." Mo Xiaoqi smiled bitterly.

"I wanted to repay her well, but unfortunately, the person was gone. Pity her for having to suffer such a sin when she is old. ”

"Condolences." Zhao Zimu patted Mo Xiaoqi's shoulder.

Mo Xiaoqi couldn't control himself for a while, tears flowed, in addition to crying about the death of Mrs. Li, there was also the cruelty of this dynasty in this world.

Zhao Zimu gently took her into his arms and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed, and the murderer will eventually be punished." ”

"Yes." Mo Xiaoqi buried his head in Zhao Zimu's arms, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly took three steps back.

"Xiaoqi, I'll take you back to the capital!" Zhao Zimu suddenly said this.

Mo Xiaoqi nodded and only said, "It's okay." ”

She originally wanted to go to the capital to develop, and following Zhao Zimu was also the best and most suitable choice. Although she decided that it was impossible for the two to be together, it was good that they could see each other from time to time.

Zhao Zimu pursed his lips and chuckled, not for anything else, but he felt that if Mo Xiaoqi went to the capital, he would definitely stir up the turmoil in the capital.

After Mo Xiaoqi told in detail about the incident that Father-in-law An led someone to break into her house that day, Mrs. Li came forward to save her, Zhao Zimu sent her all the way back to Mo's Mansion.

At dinner, Mo Xiaoqi didn't move his chopsticks, and Mrs. Bai was very worried, so she said, "Xiaoqi, why don't you eat?" ”

"It's fine, just thinking about things." Mo Xiaoqi replied.

"We are a family now, if you have any troubles, you can tell me." Madame Bai said worriedly.

Mo Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "In half a month, I will go to the capital with King Xiaoyao." ”

"What?" Madame Bai was taken aback, "You and that prince?" ”

"Auntie, it's not what you think." Mo Xiaoqi was embarrassed, and when she saw Madame Bai's expression, she knew that she wanted to be crooked.

Even if she Mo Xiaoqi lacks a man, or likes a man again, she will never share the same husband with other women.

What's more, Zhao Zimu is the prince, and he doesn't know how many princesses and concubines there are in the house, and he may even have a dozen children.

"Well, it's not true." Madam Bai breathed a sigh of relief, "But it's so decent, what are you doing in the capital?" ”

"Do business." Mo Xiaoqi replied.

"Hey, woman, no matter how big the business is, it's better to live a good life. Xiaoqi, you are already rich enough, why do you want to go to the capital? ”

Mrs. Bai didn't understand that in her world, women were husbands and children, living a stable life.

But Mo Xiaoqi smiled and said, "No one thinks that there is a lot of money." You will stay in the county and take care of the county's business for me. ”

"Hey, last time you didn't negotiate with Boss Chen of Jixiang Gambling House about the Fugui Gambling House, he has always held a grudge." The white shopkeeper was very worried, because Boss Chen was also a person in the underworld.

"That time I asked him to come the next day, and he came, but I was very upset with the look of ambition." Mo Xiaoqi recalled the events of that day, and still felt disgusting.

That Boss Chen threw flattering eyes at her as soon as he entered the door.

As soon as she got on the table, she put aside her business and asked her if she had promised someone, and if she was widowed at home, she could marry her and go home as a big house.

Mo Xiaoqi kicked people out on the spot.

"Well, I've heard about that. I don't know which fool suggested him, and asked you directly to Boss Mo. The white shopkeeper sneered.

"Whew, I was so angry that day." Mo Xiaoqi couldn't cry or laugh, that Boss Chen probably thought she didn't know how to lift.

"It's just that Boss Chen has always held grudges, and I'm afraid he won't give up." The white shopkeeper said worriedly.

"It's okay, as long as his gambling house closes down and people go to the yamen prison, it's fine." Mo Xiaoqi finally breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and eat.

"Can this work?" Shopkeeper Bai was a little worried, after all, Boss Chen was also the head snake of Renshou County.

"He will kill himself for many injustices, abducting and selling women and children, defrauding and lending usury." Mo Xiaoqi was disdainful, "For a self-righteous person like him, there is really as much evidence as there is for the crime." ”

"Then I'll have someone look for evidence?" The white shopkeeper proposed.

"Well, it's okay, anyway, Hongyi is not here now, the person in charge is King Xiaoyao, and he will sell me a little face." Mo Xiaoqi is not worried about this, just a self-righteous old rascal.

But what she never expected was that she hadn't started to trouble Boss Chen yet, but Boss Chen had already come to the door.

On the second day, more than a dozen boxes of big red boxes were placed outside the door of Kelaixiang, and the matchmaker twisted her waist and entered the door. It's the first time that Mrs. Wang has gone to a restaurant to say goodbye to others.

"Ouch, this is Boss Mo Xiaoqi!" As soon as Mrs. Wang saw Mo Xiaoqi, she kept praising her.

"Boss Mo is really beautiful and generous, and our Boss Chen is not wrong. Everyone is in business, and they are very right. ”

The corners of Mo Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, Boss Chen of Jixiang Gambling House is planning to buy and sell by force!

"Get out." Mo Xiaoqi still had an apron tied around his waist and a spatula in his hand. She hated to kill this matchmaker with a shovel, and said something to disgust her.

Mrs. Wang's face changed, but she still said with a smile: "Boss Mo, don't worry, don't listen to what I have to say." I'll tell you about your marriage, and you say you're a widow, and you're a widow who has been married twice. Boss Chen doesn't dislike you either, and plans to marry you as a lady! ”

"Hehe, it's true that you want to take advantage of my property." Mo Xiaoqi sneered.

Facing Mo Xiaoqi, who didn't save any face, Mrs. Wang was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Boss Mo, you can't think like this, you are a widow living at home, Boss Chen is kind, marrying you as the main house, you can be regarded as having a home." ”

Mo Xiaoqi's face was ugly, and he smiled at Mrs. Wang and said, "Widow, right?" Kind huh? ”

"Right...... That's right......" Mrs. Wang was stared at by Mo Xiaoqi's scary eyes and broke out in a cold sweat.

"What's wrong with me being a widow? What's wrong with me showing up to make money to support myself? Matchmaker, if you think it's glorious to marry Shopkeeper Chen, then it's better for you to marry her! Mo Xiaoqi threw the spatula at the feet of Mrs. Wang.

"You! You don't know what to do! Mrs. Wang jumped to avoid the spatula and muttered, "I want to marry, and that person has to ask for it!" ”
