The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Luo Mian stayed at the Sanchuan Restaurant in Sanchuan Town.

In the past few days, a crazy old man caught his attention.

The old man's clothes were ragged and worn, revealing his skinny body. His gray and messy hair was piled on his shoulders like dead grass, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.

Holding a broken bowl, he looked everywhere for food. What caught Luo Mian's attention was what the old man said while begging for food.

"Just give me that half of the bun! I'm from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave!"

"How could I lie to you? If it weren't for that Li Jun who schemed against our Ten Thousand Poison Cave, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave would definitely be the best in the world right now!"

"Want to continue listening? Then you have to give me another steamed bun..."

The people in Sanchuan Town have long been accustomed to the crazy old man, and everyone regards the words he says as an excuse for him to beg for food.

Although the old man couldn't eat any delicacies throughout the whole day, he could still get enough to eat.

The people here have exhausted all their energy just by staying alive, so why would they care about the Poison Cave or Li Jun?

Maybe the old man really knows something?

Just as I was thinking, Yunshui's voice came from outside the door.

"Master, Magistrate Cao wants to see you."

"come in."

Magistrate Cao hurried in and knelt down in front of Luo Mian with a plop.

"I will never forget the great kindness that King Ruyang has shown to Sanchuan Town. If it weren't for King Ruyang's appearance this time, the people of Sanchuan Town really wouldn't know what to do!"

"I will definitely find a painter to draw you, Prince Ruyang, respectfully on paper and hang it in the study. I, Cao, am willing to do this day and night..."

Luo Mian frowned and interrupted Cao Mingzhe's flattery.

"Speak directly if you have something to say."

"what……"

Cao Mingzhe felt embarrassed as if his performance had been discovered.

"Well, Magistrate Ma and Daoist Officer Fang are coming to my place for dinner tonight. I can tell with my toes that they are definitely here to take revenge on me, so I..."

"So can I ask King Ruyang to save my life?"

Luo Mian looked at Cao Mingzhe's smiling face and said, "Get up. I have something to ask you."

Cao Mingzhe quickly stood up.

"What's the problem, Prince Ruyang? I will tell you everything I know!"

Ever since Luo Mian came to Sanchuan Town, Cao Mingzhe's flattery and fawning made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Cao Mingzhe's flattery and fawning give people a "hard" feeling, very fake and hypocritical.

"Who is that old man?" Luo Mian pointed outside the window.

Cao Mingzhe looked at Luo Mian's finger.

"He, he was already here when I took up the post. I heard that he suddenly appeared more than ten years ago and has always been crazy."

"The locals felt sorry for him and did not drive him away, so he has lived here until now."

"I think his name is Wang Weinian. Yes, it's Wang Weinian."

"He keeps mumbling things like 'The Poison Cave', 'Shennong Sect', 'Li Jun' all day long. I'm afraid he has gone completely crazy."

Luo Mian already had a plan in mind.

Turning back to look at Cao Mingzhe, he said, "I will go to your house in the evening, so just prepare as usual."

Cao Mingzhe is about to kneel again.

Luo Mian really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Magistrate Cao, sometimes you don't need to be so smooth."

Cao Mingzhe's knees were suspended in the air, and he paused for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"Your Highness, I am oppressed by the upper class and bullied by the lower class. I can only be tactful and compromise to survive..."

Luo Mian kicked Cao Mingzhe's slightly bent knee straight, and Cao Mingzhe staggered and almost fell.

"To compromise? I see you trying to please others everywhere, kneeling down is a common thing for you. How can you petition for the people if you are so timid?"

Cao Mingzhe kept his hands clasped together, and Luo Mian's words pierced his heart like needles.

Cao Mingzhe opened his heart.

"Your Highness, when I first became an official, I was also full of passion, but...but the officialdom is treacherous. If I hadn't learned to flatter and fawn on others, I would have been pushed out of office by others long ago..."

"As long as I am an official, I have the right to do things for the people. But if I am really pushed down, I will not even have the right to do things for the people..."

"The current situation is unpredictable, and I, Cao, am powerless to do anything about it."

Luo Mian stepped forward and held Cao Mingzhe's wrist.

Cao Mingzhe was shocked.

"Do you want to become a member of the Ruyang King's party?"

Cao Mingzhe felt his heart pounding uncontrollably, his pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes instantly widened, and he looked up suddenly to meet the deep eyes of King Ruyang.

His fingers trembled slightly, not knowing how to respond, and nervously clenched his cuffs.

After a while, Cao Mingzhe finally said, "Prince, you, you didn't lie to me?"

Cao Mingzhe confirmed again and again, his tone filled with caution and excitement.

"What did I lie to you about?"

Cao Mingzhe is about to kneel again.

"No need to kneel."

Cao Mingzhe knelt down with a plop and kowtowed three times to Luo Mian.

"I kneel not only for myself, but also for the people of Sanchuan!"

……

Yunshui was a little absent-minded outside the door.

As I touched the pink purse in my sleeve pocket, questions arose in my mind.

Why did Qiuzhi give me a purse?

It's not a good idea for a grown man like me to wear a pink purse, right?

If I don’t wear it, will Qiuzhi think that I dislike this purse?

Yunshui scratched his head randomly.

Then he said to himself, "She gave me something, should I reciprocate?"

"Ah... so troublesome..."

Luo Mian pushed open the door and glanced at Yunshui.

"What's the trouble?"

Yunshui stood up quickly: "No, nothing!"

Luo Mian noticed that Yunshui was a little absent-minded since he came to Sanchuan.

Since Yunshui didn't want to say, Luomian didn't want to ask any more questions.

"Then let's go, get some food and wine and go find the crazy old man downstairs."

"Master, the stench of that old man can be smelled from eight hundred meters away!"

"Why are you looking for him?"

Luo Mian glared at Yunshui.

"Yes, master."

……

The maker of purses - Autumn.

Ever since she gave the purse to Yunshui, her little heart has been beating wildly whenever she thinks of Yunshui.

Liu Qing had almost recovered, so Chunzhi naturally returned to the Shen Mansion.

"Qiu Zhi, what are you laughing at?"

Qiuzhi ignored Chunzhi and continued to buy things and have fun.

Chunzhi was worried that she was possessed by evil spirits, so he quickly stepped forward and patted Qiuzhi on the shoulder and said, "Qiuzhi! What's wrong with you?"

Qiu Zhi quickly came back to his senses.

"What? What do you want me to do??"

Seeing Qiu Zhi like this, Chun Zhi couldn't help but joked, "What's wrong? Could it be that Qiu Zhi was thinking about someone in his little head? And I interrupted him?"

Qiuzhi's little face turned red all of a sudden.

Chun Zhi was surprised and said, "Did I guess it right?!"

"who is it?"

"Tell me, who took away my Qiu Zhi's soul?"

"Oh, just tell me!"

"Autumn Solstice~"

……

Yunshui was carrying wine and food, and accidentally dropped the pink purse in her sleeve pocket to Luo Mian's feet.

Luo Mian glanced at Yunshui, who also looked a little embarrassed.

"You are free to do whatever you like, but don't try to take advantage of me. I only like Ning'er." (Mian Zi with a serious face.
