insane

Liu Mu bought that mansion that day for Zi Yan to settle down.

"Ziyan, this house is not bad. If there is anything you don't like, just say it. If you want pavilions, I will send craftsmen to build it for you. Also, I lied to my father that you have it." My child, you must pretend to be a little bit." Then he said to Si Zhu at the side, "Especially you! You little girl likes to do right with me the most, and you must not say things that should not be said."

Si Zhu smiled and said, "In the past, I was against you because you betrayed my lady. Now that my lady is pregnant, and you are so considerate as a husband-in-law, I naturally dare not neglect you." Made a cup of tea for Liu Mu, "If Si Zhu had offended him in the past, I hope my uncle will have a lot of Wang Han, and he will not be as knowledgeable as a little girl like me."

After drinking tea, Liu Mu smiled and said, "As long as you serve your young lady wholeheartedly, I naturally don't have the same knowledge as you."

Si Zhu said again, "But my uncle declared that my young lady has your flesh and blood. Even if you two are pregnant in the same room today, it is not right. Master Liu already disliked that my young lady was born in a brothel. When the time comes, Master Liu will know that you two are pregnant." Conspiring to deceive him, wouldn't it be more to blame my young lady."

Liu Mu smiled and said, "I've already thought about this. So from today on, Zi Yan will pretend to be pregnant, and add some cushions to her belly from time to time. After October, just find a baby to lie to my father." Just say it’s my flesh and blood.”

Si Zhu said, "But that child is not your own, how can you treat him sincerely. What's more, this child is considered the eldest son, how can your wife in the first room tolerate this child. I'm afraid you will also dislike this in-law in the future." The old child will occupy the property of the Liu family. Wouldn't it be unfair to that child."

Liu Mu said, "Wanran is not the kind of stingy girl. If you are really worried about differences in inheritance of property in the future, then it is enough to bring a baby girl. As long as Zi Yan likes that child, even if it is not her own child, I will Treat her like your own."

After Liu Mu left, Sizhu said, "I didn't realize that my uncle was so considerate to my young lady earlier. It's rare for a son of a rich family to be so considerate. It's just that child..." Sizhu sighed, "In the future, if my young lady is so considerate to my young lady. Now that I have my own child, I'm afraid the child I brought in will be redundant." Sizhu's parents died young, and she was fostered at her uncle's house, where she was bullied and neglected, and was later sold to a brothel by her uncle. The child, on the contrary, is associated with his own life experience.

Zi Yan naturally understood why Si Zhu was worried about the child she hadn't met, so she said, "Even if it is a child I brought in, I would treat it as my own. I was born with a cold body, and was given the wrong medicine by a quack doctor when I was young. I'm afraid this body can't conceive."

Si Zhu's eyes widened and she said, "Miss, you mean you can't get pregnant! Why haven't I heard you say this!"

Zi Yan said, "These trivial matters are not worth talking about all day long."

Sizhu said with a sad face, "This is terrible... If you can't give birth to a son and a half in the future, I'm afraid that after a few years, the young lady will no longer look good, and the uncle will despise you. At that time, there will be no children to support, and you will be born again." How to get a foothold in this big family."

Zi Yan smiled and said, "She knows about it, so naturally she won't abandon me because of it."

Si Zhu secretly sighed in his heart, as the saying goes, one knows one's face but not one's heart, who can guarantee that this dude's caring towards Miss is not all because of his appearance.

That night Liumu hosted Wen Siren again.

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Last night in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, I offended you a lot. I hope Mr. Wen will not be offended."

Wen Siren said with a smile, "Master Liu is serious. How can I be a narrow-minded person? She is only a woman. Naturally, I won't take such small things to heart."

Liu Mu said, "I don't know how many states and counties Mr. Wen will go to inspect for the emperor this time."

Wen Siren said, "Since Mr. Liu took office, the people of Jinling have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the city has been prosperous. Naturally, there is nothing to investigate. This official came here for another matter. Mr. Liu is a smart man, so this official will not beat around the bush."

Liu Mu said, "Lord Wen, but it's okay to say."

Wen Siren said, "Now the court is divided into two parties. One party is our Feng and Wen families, and the other party is that old man Zeng Pu. That old man is always against my uncle and wants his disciples to replace us. The status of the Wen family, and now the two factions are fighting more and more fiercely. I know that the emperor admires Master Liu very much. The future of Master Liu is limitless. If Master Liu can stand on the side of our Feng and Wen families, replace Xia Zan within two years The governor of Liangjiang is not impossible."

Liu Mu smiled, it turned out that Wen Siren was here to win him over, Xia Zan was from Zeng Pu, and now he is the governor of Liangjiang, and as the largest local official in Jinling, he is also the best friend of Zeng Pu's daughter Zeng Qing, so Feng Liang He must be worried about losing the forces in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wen Siren said, "If that old man Zeng Pu falls, apart from the emperor, my uncle Feng Liang will be able to cover the sky with one hand. At that time, his disciples will naturally enjoy the glory and wealth. Master Liu became the governor of Liangjiang, The capital is covered by our Feng and Wen families, and I, the censor, is behind me, so the Jiangnan area will not be entirely at the discretion of Liu lord."

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Being an official in the court is just a knife on the neck, and the emperor has to follow the order. As for those rights, wealth, and so on, in my opinion, they are just dispensable things. The officer is going to waste Mr. Wen's kindness again." After finishing speaking, he winked and put a brocade box in front of Wen Siren respectfully, and Liu Mu smiled and said, "This little thing is my meeting gift for Mr. Wen. .”

Wen Siren smiled and said, "Could it be possible that Master Liu wants to bribe me?"

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Although it is not worth mentioning that you are a fifth-rank official, the position of Yushi is probably two levels lower than the fifth-rank magistrate, and the annual salary is more than a hundred less than my official position." Shi, where did the word "bribe" come from? What's more, the official is sitting up straight, and I'm afraid there is nothing to cover up, so it's not even a bribe. The things in this brocade box are just playing around We have a lot of them in Liu's shop. It has been several years since you and I met in Huguo Temple. Now that my former classmates come to Jinling, I will naturally give a small gift as a landlord. "

Wen Siren opened the brocade box, and inside were two emerald celestial beings no bigger than palms. These emerald celestial beings were often held in the hands of wealthy elders. Although they were not rare items, if they were exchanged for silver I'm afraid there are about a thousand taels.

Wen Siren took the brocade box and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then I won't force it anymore."

Liu Mu knew that Wen Siren was a villain, so he naturally had to guard against it.Sending him those two expensive jadeite fairies was just telling him that everyone in our Liu family has a great career and plenty of money. If you want to sue me for corruption, it won't work at all.Since Liu Mu took office, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they have all praised Liu Mu as a master of the blue sky, so it is impossible to slander him for breaking the law.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Wen Siren fumbled for the Jade Fairy in his hand, and snorted coldly, "This willow really doesn't know how to praise you."

Wen Siren's visit to Jinling this time was entirely at the intention of his uncle Feng Liang. Feng Liang had said that day that the emperor valued Liu Mu so much that it was inevitable that this person would go to Beijing to become an official in the future. If he sided with Zeng Pu at that time, he would inevitably become our the bane ofIf this person can't take it for his own use, then he can't keep it.

When Liu Mu returned home, seeing Yu Wanran couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "My lady...it's so late and you haven't slept yet..." Liu Mu carefully took off his clothes.

Yu Wanran took Liu Mu's clothes from behind and put them on the shelf, saying, "You must be tired after walking for a day, let's rest early."

Perhaps Yu Wanran was too calm, which made Liu Mu feel uneasy. "My lady..." Liu Mu wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.I also feel conflicted in my heart, if I want to take Ziyan as my concubine, I am afraid that Yu Wanran will not agree.But if Ziyan is allowed to live alone, she feels sorry for her and wronged her.

Yu Wanran said calmly, "But I have something to say."

"Uh... ah... that..."

Yu Wanran said, "If you don't want to talk about it, go to bed earlier."

"I..." Liu Mu hesitated for a long time before saying, "Lady, if you are angry, hit me up!"

Yu Wanran smiled wryly, "Why am I angry?"

"I haven't seen you smile since I came back, and your face is expressionless. I know you will be unhappy because I ransom Zi Yan, but that old bustress forced Zi Yan to sell herself, she is so noble Naturally, a woman cannot bear such insults. I am afraid that she will have the idea of ​​committing suicide, as a friend, I should naturally help her get out of that quagmire."

Yu Wanran said, "Now that you have redeemed Miss Ziyan, how will you help in the future?"

"I……"

Yu Wanran said again, "The flesh and blood in her womb, if Dad wants that child in the future, what will you do?"

Liu Mu said, "I've already thought about this. Anyway, we won't have any children. When I think of it, I will just bring a baby girl to cheat my father."

"When the time comes when the child is born, what capacity should the child's mother be placed in?"

Liu Mu said, "I know my lady is angry because of this matter, don't worry, I won't take Ziyan as my concubine. Don't worry, lady, Ziyan and I are just good friends. Why don't you give her a few shops, even if it is a concubine?" The rent collector can spend the rest of his life without worrying about food and clothing."

Yu Wanran said, "Since you only consider Ziyan as a good friend and want her to have a good life, why not find her a good husband."

Liu Mu said, "The story of me and Zi Yan has been known all over the city. Although it is not true, outsiders have not regarded it as fake. I am afraid that no one will dare to marry her due to the relationship with me. "

Yu Wanran said, "Since you just want to help Miss Ziyan redeem herself, why lie to father that she is pregnant with your child." How could Yu Wanran fail to see Liu Mu's feelings for Ziyan.

"I..." Liu Mu said, "I was just afraid that my father would be angry about this, so I made up a lie to make him accept Ziyan."

Yu Wanran smiled wryly, "If you're worried about Miss Ziyan being out alone, it's okay to bring her closer to the mansion. If she can adopt a baby boy then, as the mother of the grandson of Liu's parents, she will naturally be more qualified to enter the mansion."

Liu Mu was so frightened that his expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Miss, don't get me wrong, Zi Yan and I are just good friends. As long as she can live in peace, I'm satisfied, so why would I have such unreasonable thoughts."

Yu Wanran sighed, "Sister-in-law must be tired these days, stop thinking about it and go to bed early."

The calmer Yu Wanran was, the more frightened Liu Mu felt. She didn't sleep well that night, and woke up from a nightmare the next morning, dreaming that Yu Wanran threw a dart from her sleeve and passed through her chest. .

If it was placed earlier, a proud woman like Yu Wanran would not tolerate her husband being too close to other women, let alone claiming that she has her own flesh and blood. Although it is false, it is not Yu Wanran. tolerable.But after listening to the Taoist priest's order in Ziwei Taoist Temple last time, Yu Wanran became more and more worried.Those Taoist priests in Ziweiguan have always been very effective in giving orders and resolving the lottery. I am afraid that one day I can no longer be by Liumu's side, and then there will be someone who treats Liumu sincerely.
