As soon as the sky was dawn, there was a long queue of carriages in front of Zhulu Marquis's Mansion. I don't know if it was agreed, carriages one after another, one more expensive than the other. In less than an incense stick, Zhao Youcai had already picked up seven Yuanwailangs and three Yuanwailangs. He was arranged to enter the lobby. As soon as he sat down, someone came to the door. This time it was a Shangshu. Sun Wuji, the Minister of Personnel, arrived in person. There were only ten chairs in the lobby. Changsun Wuji had no place to sit, so Yuanwailang, who was the last official position, stood up.

There are rules in the officialdom. Take these seven official widows for example, three of them are from the Ministry of Works, two from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, one from the Ministry of Rites and the other from the Ministry of Justice. So when Changsun Wuji comes, who will give up his seat?

Naturally, it was the Ministry of Works' Department who gave up the seat. Why? Because among the six ministries, your Ministry of Works was ranked last. And these three Ministry of Works include the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Water, who gave up the seat? Naturally, it was the Ministry of Water, because when Li Mu reformed the Ministry of Works, he put the Ministry of Water, and basically didn't move much. Obviously, in the eyes of Zhuluhou, your Ministry of Water is not so important, so you have to stand up.

The maid just brought the tea and a few more came. Now, there is no need to compete, and the men and women all stood up.

Another stick of incense has passed, and there are no less than the fourth-rank sitting on these ten chairs.

The two of them were on the left and right, Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji. Behind them, there were about ten people standing, all of whom were officials of their respective camps. They all had the same characteristic, directly or indirectly holding shares in Datang Mining or Datang Salt Industry. People from the Ministry of Works, such as Yuwengui, Gongsun Kang, etc., were considered Li Mu's confidants. There was no place to stand in the lobby. They were also very conscious and found a place to squat with the gifts they brought.

Thirty people filled the lobby and looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The officials were already squatting outside. Those who could stand in the lobby were at least fifth-ranks, and those who sat in the lobby were at least fourth-ranks. It can be said that half of the court was in the lobby. With such a big show, no one saw the owner coming out to greet him. Who has ever experienced such a strange thing?

At this time, a maid came to change the teacup, and Wang Gui couldn't help asking: "Little girl, wait a moment, can you ask, why didn't your master come out to meet?"

This maid is Xiao Zhu who had a fight with Li Zhien. She has been trained in the Jiaofangsi and is not afraid. She asks and answers: "My master is sick."

"What about your wife?"

"Mrs. is feeding the owner medicine."

"Oh...then it's more important to take medicine." After pausing, Wang Gui asked again: "Your mansion, are there no one else? We are all colleagues and close friends of Zhulu Hou. Today we are here to visit Zhulu Hou. Can you find someone to see me? I'll find some news."

"Um..." Xiaozhu thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go find Zhien."

"Is this awesome?"

"It's the master's concubine."

"Then forget it." Wang Gui waved his hand, a concubine came out to get involved. In the eyes of the scholars and officials, the concubine was not considered a human being. The ones who came today were all for the most important things. It would be better to see Li Mu. No matter how bad it was, they would still see his wife. Seeing that the concubine was about to be a concubine, it would be nice to say it. They were seriously ill. Look at the concubine, what happened?

"Then please let me know, I've been waiting for a long time. When Zhulu Hou finished drinking the medicine, if it's convenient, please meet me. If it's inconvenient, please come out and see you."

Xiaozhu replied and returned to the back house.

Back house.

Li Mu's cold wind, after the "strength exercise" last night, was sweating all over, and he had recovered from his fierce appearance. But now he is "sick" and naturally has the right to sleep in, so he refused to get up.

Not only did he not afford to afford it himself, he also did not allow Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien to get up. The stove in the house was as warm as spring and there was no need to wear thick clothes. Both wives and concubines were wearing only one pajamas made of silk. The spring light that was inadvertently exposed inadvertently made Li Mu's eyes straight.

Li Mu was overworked last night and entered the "skill cooling" period. He was really unable to lift his gun and fight again. He could only get through his hands. He put his thighs on Bai Qiaoqiao's thighs, touched Li Zhien's little hand, and ate the oranges fed by the two of them.

"Yan Zi Spring and Autumn" says: Oranges grow in the south of Huai, and those grow in the north of Huai, are tangerines. Although oranges are widely known as the Qin and Han Dynasties. However, in the Tang Dynasty, it was not easy to eat oranges, and the price was very expensive. You can buy a dou of rice for a pound of oranges. Most people and ordinary nobles just try it out.

But in Zhulu Hou Mansion, oranges were bought by car. Everyone in the mansion had a share. When the oranges were divided in the morning, Wei Yingluo and Zhenzhu, who had just entered the mansion, all of them were divided into two.

Bai Qiaoqiao put a petal of orange into Li Mu's mouth and said worriedly: "Husband, you'd better let me go out. Xiaozhu just came over and said that the uncle and Shizhong Wang were also here. If you don't go out to meet, wouldn't it seem too arrogant?"

Li Mu deliberately sucked Bai Qiaoqiao's finger, "Why are you so proud? I didn't invite them. They didn't come to visit me sincerely, they were worried about their money. If I die, their two million yuan might be gone. Moreover, if I die, who will help them make money?" Li Mu rubbed Bai Qiaoqiao's arms and said, "Madam, you are still too kind, don't pay attention to them. I am seriously ill now and can't see anyone, so I ask them to wait. Anyway, I am not the one who is anxious."

"But……"

"It's nothing, but I want them to do..." Li Mu had to say something again, and suddenly Xiao Zhu's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, the old lady is here."

"My mother?!"

The three of them were in a panic. Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien quickly looked for clothes, while Li Mu drilled into the quilt. There was no place to throw the orange peel on the bed, and he gathered them all and hid them under the pillow.

Li Zhien shouted: "Please wait a moment, wait a moment, and you are wiping your master!"

Sun's voice came in: "What's there to avoid when you wipe yourself out? I'm a damn! You're talking about Zhien, I'm in!"

“Hey…”

Li Zhien tied his clothes randomly and helped Bai Qiaoqiao get them done. He didn't have time to comb his hair. At this time, Sun came in, and their hearts were raised to their throats. For Sun, the two girls were really afraid. In this era, the word filial piety was the first. If the mother-in-law annoyed, the mother-in-law could let her son divorce her wife with one sentence!

Seeing that the two of them were messy and their clothes were a little untidy, Sun didn't think much about it, but just thought that Li Mu had such a big deal. The two of them looked after them all night in confusion. He walked over and held their hands, his eyes turned red, and said, "Qiaoqiao, you have suffered. I thought Li Mu had a bright future. You can enjoy a few days of blessings, but I didn't expect him to..."

Seeing that Sun was about to cry, Bai Qiaoqiao opened her mouth and wanted to tell the truth about the matter. Li Zhien guessed that she would not be able to help it and quickly interrupted: "Old lady, don't cry. Doctor Sun has been treated. Doctor Sun said that the master has no worries about his life, and he will be cured slowly and healed."

Li Zhien said while winking at Bai Qiaoqiao. Bai Qiaoqiao then remembered that Li Mu had said last night that he had "spouted blood" was fake, and he should not tell anyone, especially Sun, who was worried that she would be worried about it.

Thinking of this, Bai Qiaoqiao had no choice but to nod and comfort Sun as Li Zhien's words.

"Looking at how you two look, you'll stay up all night."

Bai Qiaoqiao blushed a little when she heard this. She didn't sleep much all night, but it was not "suffering", but...

"You have some rest and eat something. I'll take a while and accompany my son."

Of course, the two girls didn't dare to say that they couldn't do it, so they took the changed clothes and went to the outer room to wear them. They just took advantage of this time to go to the front yard to greet the guests.

Seeing the second daughter going to the front yard, Sun sent the maid away, sitting alone by the bed with Li Mu.

Li Mu is pretending to be sleepy now, so naturally he can't open his eyes. Sun looked at Li Mu, and tears flowed. She didn't sleep all night last night, and she is still in a mess. When she received the bad news that Li Mu had "spouted blood", the dusty memories in Sun's mind were awakened for some reason. She suddenly felt guilty because she had never mentioned half of the sentence that Li Mu was not her biological son.

If Li Mu really died yesterday, she would have deceived him for the rest of his life.

So today, Sun wants to tell Li Mu the truth.

But looking at Li Mu, the child she raised herself, she suddenly couldn't bear to let go again because she didn't know what Li Mu would react if he knew the truth. Especially when he was seriously ill, if he was stimulated by this incident and aggravated the condition, Sun would never forgive him.

All kinds of contradictory feelings lingered in my heart, and Sun could not help but cry.

Li Mu closed his eyes, but he could hear Sun crying. This made Li Mu feel very uncomfortable because he was deceiving Sun. Although his feelings for Sun were inherited from the original Li Mu. However, during this period, the two of them had been together as mother and son, and he could truly feel maternal love. This made Li Mu, who was an orphan in his previous life, feel a lot of warmth in his heart. Therefore, he really regarded Sun as his mother. Otherwise, he would not have killed people in anger because someone insulted Sun.

But now, he is lying to her.

Deceiving a close relative will make people feel very uncomfortable and unforgivable no matter what the reason is. However, Li Mu has his own difficulties in this matter. Because he vomited blood, he deceived Li Shimin, deceived the civil and military officials of the court, and targeted the Shandong gentry. This matter is too big. If it is leaked, he will offend the whole world to death.

Sun Simiao expected him to print the book, and he also participated, so he could not reveal the news.

Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien are their wives and concubines, and they will not disclose them even if they are by their side every day.

But Sun, after all, has married Tang Jian. If she told her about it inadvertently, the whole world would know about it. Li Mu did not believe Sun, but he could not believe Tang Jian. Therefore, he could not say it.

At this time, when Li Mu heard Sun's crying, he felt very guilty. Just when he felt that he could not help but question his conscience and wanted to open his eyes, Sun spoke.

Sun was just as entangled inside. She didn't say it, but felt guilty in her heart. She said she was worried about losing her son. Finally, she decided to say it when Li Mu was in a coma. Although saying this would mean not saying it, at least she would feel a little better.

Sun wiped away his tears, pulled Li Mu's hand, and said, "Child, I have something to tell you."

Li Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of an extremely possible possibility. My mother, Sun's thirty-six, Tang Jian, and 50, would it be...

Li Mu suddenly felt that the sky was thunder was rolling. Should I have another younger brother?

How can I accept this!

"Actually... you are not my biological son."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment.

It seemed like a mage was cast by a freezing technique, and his whole body was frozen into a lump of ice, and his brain was frozen.

What is this...what is the situation!

"Seventeen years ago, your father and I got married for a while. But we couldn't keep the children. In desperation, we had to go to Lingzhou to see a doctor. The doctor said that I will never have children in my life because of miscarriage..."

Sun told the story of the past. Li Mu heard it sincerely. Gradually, he calmed down. He guessed roughly why Sun said these words. He could understand how hard it was to bury this secret in his heart for so many years.

At the same time, he also sincerely admired Sun. Because from the original memory of this body, Li Mu knew deeply that Sun had no reservations about this child because he was not his own. After Li Gan died in battle, Sun's widow, pulled a child alone, suffered too much pain.

Even if these memories are from Li Mu, Li Mu is the same moved.

"...This secret has been hidden in my heart for many years. I originally wanted to bring it into the coffin and never say it. But yesterday when I heard your news, my mother suddenly felt that I had to tell you, otherwise I would feel uncomfortable. I felt sorry for you and my biological parents. My mother is a woman and knows how difficult it is to give birth to a child. If I don't tell you, you will never reunite with your biological parents. My mother is a sinner. But I don't know what to say to you, because I don't know who your biological parents are. When the bearded man threw you to my mother, he was just a little coat and there was nothing to prove your identity. My mother only remembers that the bearded man called himself a bearded guest. He didn't know anything except this."

Sun said, and shed tears again. Li Mu wanted to wipe her tears away, but at this time, he could not wake up, because if he woke up, Sun would definitely be hurt, and their mother-son relationship ended here.

"Child, don't blame my mother for not saying when she woke up. Mom doesn't dare, mom can't bear to leave you, mom is afraid that if she says it, you will hate mom. Mom is the only son. Although you were not born by mom, you raised it by mom. Mom can't bear to leave, you won't blame mom, right?"

"Mom, I'm sorry..."

As he was speaking, Cheng Yaojin's shout came from outside the door: "Hey, big man, do you dare to stop others? Do you not recognize who I am? Li Mu also has to call me uncle, do you let me go? Do you want me to do it?"

When Sun heard the sound, he quickly stopped his mouth, wiped away his tears, and responded.

Li Mu opened his eyes and looked at Sun's back, and couldn't help but feel sore.
