Chapter Seventy-One: Teasing
"Why do you think this Miss Su is pretending to be sick?" Outside the door, He Cailian asked in a whisper in Mu Ruoxue's ear while throwing stones.
"I don't know!" Mu Ruoxue shook her head and said.
"But this Su Mansion is really strange, you see those guards are all royal guards, there are royal guards in Su Mansion, and things here are definitely not simple." He Cailian said again, continuing to throw stones, and the sound of stones falling just covered the sound of the two of them talking.
"The royal guard! You can't be mistaken, right? Mu Ruoxue was puzzled when she heard this, and asked again.
"How could I be wrong? Just look at the belts of those guards, they are all for the guards in the palace, and who dares to use such belts in any of the guards outside! He Cailian said again.
After hearing this, Mu Ruoxue took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case, the belts of these guards were exactly the same as the belts used by the guards she saw when she entered the palace last time.
At this time, Bai Zixu came out of Su Xinlan's house, his face was a little heavy.
"How's it going?" He Cailian looked at Bai Zixu and asked.
"It's nothing, I'm bothering you today, I'll send you back first!" Bai Zixu looked at Mu Ruoxue and He Cailian and smiled, avoiding the topic just now.
Seeing this situation, Mu Ruoxue and He Cailian didn't ask anything more, and then the three of them got into the carriage back.
At this time, leaving the palace to the hall, Li Luo and Su Xinlan's father, Su Shengquan, were talking.
"Master Su's business is all over the capital, what is there to worry about now?" Li Luo took a sip of tea and looked at Su Shengquan and said lightly.
"The prince doesn't know, although the Su family's business is doing well, but after all, the emperor also wants to make the Su family an imperial businessman, but my Su family has ancestors who have never dealt with the royal people." Su Shengquan said with a sad face.
Li Luo heard this, but he didn't speak and still tasted tea, looking calm and relaxed.
"But now the emperor has directly sent the imperial guards to Su Mansion, nominally to protect the safety of Su Mansion, but in fact he wants to indirectly control Su Mansion." Su Shengquan said again.
"Since the emperor has already made a move, what is the situation of the Su family now?" Lai Lok Dao.
"Although the emperor has the heart to subdue the Su family, the Su family has always remembered the ancestral teachings, and now the business lifeline is still in the hands of me and my daughter, but now that I am old, I am about to abdicate and hand over everything to my daughter Xinlan, after all, she is still young and lacks qualifications in these matters, so I am very worried." Su Shengquan said again, his face full of melancholy.
"Then Master Su can think of a way to solve it now?" Li Luo asked again.
"I heard that there is a Wuji Building in the rivers and lakes, and the people there take money to do things, and I also want to find Wuji Building for help." Su Shengquan said.
"Wuji Tower!" Li Luo repeated.
"That's right, as long as you give enough silver taels, he can help you do what you want to do, and this is the only way out for the Su family at present." Su Shengquan sighed and said.
"This king can help you with this matter, but I don't know if Master Su believes in this king?" Li Luo said lightly.
"Of course, I won't let you become imperial merchants." Li Luo added.
When Su Shengquan heard this, he looked at Li Luo with some surprise, and said: "If the prince is willing to make a move, he will naturally be grateful, and if there is anything in the future, the prince will tell him." ”
"Well, in that case, you can give me a pass token for your shop, and you don't have to worry about the rest, just go back and wait." Li Luo said lightly.
Immediately, Su Shengquan turned into his sleeve and took out a black token, put it in front of Li Luo, and said, "This is the token, the Su family's affairs are worried about Prince Lao." ”
Li Luo put away the token on the table, nodded, and then beckoned to Su Shengquan, who left without saying anything.
Subsequently, Li Luo went to the Drunken Immortal Building and went directly to the innermost box.
"The prince is here, this wine has just been warmed, and it is time to taste it." The Wuji City Lord was not surprised at all when he saw Li Luo, but seemed to be waiting for him early in the morning.
"You're getting more laid-back." Li Luo sat opposite the Wuji City Lord and said lightly.
"Hahaha, how can I compare to the interest of the prince." The Wuji City Lord smiled.
Li Luo didn't speak, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and then put the token that Su Shengquan handed over to him on the table and pushed it to the hand of the Wuji City Lord.
"You secretly pay attention to the affairs of the Su family, and draw him to our side, it will definitely be a big help in the future." Li Luo said lightly.
"Don't worry, I've been watching this in secret." The Wuji City Lord accepted the token and looked at Li Luodao.
"It's just that Lord Wang, you've been a little different lately." The Wuji City Lord looked at Li Luodao.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Luo frowned and looked at the Wuji City Lord.
"I see that the prince's face has been solemn and obvious recently, and there is something in his heart!" The Wuji City Lord looked at Li Luodao.
"Now that I have someone I like, I am more and more cautious in doing things." The Wuji City Lord looked at Li Luodao with a smile.
When Li Luo heard this, he frowned and said, "You have been talking more and more recently!" ”
"Look at it, I must have said it, you don't want to implicate her, and now you don't even let me mention it, it's a bit too much!" The Wuji City Lord said with a smile, his face full of play.
"If the affairs of the Su family are to be done as soon as possible, they must be ahead of the emperor!" After Li Luo dropped such a sentence, he left.
And Bai Zixu left after sending Mu Ruoxue and He Cailian home one by one, and didn't say anything more.
And Mu Ruoxue wanted He Cailian to play with her for a while, but she was called away by her father halfway, saying that there was something, and Mu Ruoxue was not forced to stay, so she could only go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first.
Mu Ruoxue came to the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked around for a while, sat on the swing and swung up, thinking about what happened today, and He Ming pushed her behind.
"Miss, Madame is here." When He Ming suddenly stopped pushing Mu Ruoxue's swing, she whispered in Mu Ruoxue's ear.
Mu Ruoxue didn't react when she heard this, and said, "Don't worry about her, continue." ”
Seeing this, He Ming continued to push the swing for Mu Ruoxue, and at this time Li Jinxiu had already walked in front of Mu Ruoxue, but because Mu Ruoxue did not stop the swing, she almost hit Li Jinxiu when the swing came down, so frightened that Li Jinxiu hurriedly hid to the side.
"Mu Ruoxue, you are still the eldest lady, you don't understand the rules so much, you have lost the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Li Jinxiu saw that she had come to Mu Ruoxue, but Mu Ruoxue ignored her and said very angrily.
But Mu Ruoxue still didn't react at this time, she was still swinging by herself, and she didn't plan to pay attention to Li Jinxiu at all.
"Mu Ruoxue, stop for me!" Li Jinxiu looked at Mu Ruoxue and said loudly.
At this time, Mu Ruoxue slowly stopped her swing, stood up and glanced at Li Jinxiu, because she didn't want to argue with her anymore, she simply turned around and wanted to leave.
But Li Jinxiu stopped in front of Mu Ruoxue in a few steps, and when she saw Mu Ruoxue ignoring herself, she was even more angry in her heart, and said, "Say, where did you go this morning!" ”
"It's my freedom to go where I go, there's no need to report to you!" Mu Ruoxue felt upset when she looked at Li Jinxiu, and she didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, so she turned around and planned to leave again, but she didn't expect Li Jinxiu to catch up again.
"Stop, you little slut! I know all day long that I go out and mess with those indiscriminate people, and now I see that I, the housewife, is so rude! Li Jinxiu looked at Mu Ruoxuedao, her eyes full of anger and disgust.
Mu Ruoxue frowned when she heard Li Jinxiu's words, she didn't want to be entangled with Li Jinxiu, but this Li Jinxiu didn't plan to let her go!
"Madame should be cautious when she speaks, why do I just mess around with indiscriminate people all day? I went to the palace yesterday to see the emperor and the queen mother, and the person who invited me this morning was the white prince, these indiscreet people in the mouth of the lady, do you mean the emperor and the queen mother and the white prince? Mu Ruoxue looked at Li Jinxiu and asked.
When Li Jinxiu heard this, his voice was immediately dumb, but he still looked unrelenting, and said: "You don't want to talk nonsense here, whoever saw Bai Wangye coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion this morning, maybe you made it up yourself!" ”
Mu Ruoxue was too lazy to speak when she heard this, and Li Jinxiu saw that Mu Ruoxue didn't speak, thinking that she was afraid of herself, and said: "I advise you to put away your foxy appearance, don't go around hooking up with men all day long, if I find out one day, don't think about it!" ”
Mu Ruoxue looked at Li Jinxiu's aggressive appearance, the fire in her heart suddenly rose, she looked around, and found that a family member on the side was pruning the branches and buds of flowers with scissors.
Mu Ruoxue walked over, snatched the oversized scissors from Jia Ding's hand, and came to Li Jinxiu.
Li Jinxiu saw Mu Ruoxue holding scissors, and her face suddenly changed when she looked at herself, and she took a few steps back and said, "You little, what do you want to do?" ”
"What do I want to do? I don't understand this either! Mu Ruoxue said and glanced at the scissors in her hand, and approached Li Jinxiu step by step.
