"What are you saying!" Bai Qiaoqiao cried and punched Li Mu, saying, "My father is living well, why do you curse him!"

Li Mu quickly apologized, held Bai Qiaoqiao's little hand and said, "Why are you crying?" He glanced at Li Zhien standing next to him and said, "And you girl, why are you so angry? I've been tired for a day and didn't even have a smile on my face. Have I messed with you?"

"Hmph!" Li Zhien turned his head over, looking like he didn't want to pay attention to him. Li Mu was a little confused, looked at Bai Qiaoqiao and said, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Bai Qiaoqiao looked at him resentfully, stopped crying, and thrust, "Husband, tell me honestly, have you been to Pingkangfang these two days?"

"Yes! I went yesterday, and I went there today to take a look."

"That's true?"

Li Mu didn't understand, but he heard that Bai Qiaoqiao's tone was wrong, and he frowned and said, "Really, really, but..."

But before he could say anything after that, Bai Qiaoqiao cried again and was about to pull her out. Li Mu hurriedly hugged her in his arms and said, "Why are you crying!"

Li Zhien said quietly beside him: "Mrs. I heard the gossip of others. Today, several noble ladies came. When they were choosing things, they chatted. They said that because the master was jealous of others, he started fighting with others in Pingkangfang and smashed a brothel. The lady was sad, so she cried."

"Ah?" Li Mu was stunned and said, "Isn't this a nonsense? I have a beautiful wife and concubine at home, and I still go to the brothel to have fun? You can't make up stories so exaggerated!"

Bai Qiaoqiao heard this and immediately stopped crying and said, "You haven't gone?"

"Go."

"You're still there!" Bai Qiaoqiao cried again, and Li Mu hurriedly said, "I'm going, but I'm not jealous with others. Didn't my arm hurt tell you? A man named Yin Hongzhi was stabbed. He runs a brothel in Pingkangfang. I went over to kill him to retaliate. There is nothing to do if you are jealous. If you don't believe me, if Xiaojiu is present, he will never lie."

As he said that, Li Mu pulled his neck and shouted: "Jiu'er, come here, your sister-in-law will ask you something!"

Dugu Jiu listened outside the door for a long time and heard this. When he heard this, he came into the house and pretended not to know anything. He was wearing a mask and couldn't tell.

Bai Qiaoqiao looked at Dugu Jiu and asked, "Jiu'er, let me ask you, what did your elder brother do in Pingkangfang?"

Dugu Jiu said truthfully: "Brother smashed the brothel and blocked the Prince of Hejian inside. Therefore, he got the Prince of Hejian. Later, my brother sent me back and said that if he had not come out of the palace at sunset, he would ask me to ask Shangshu Tang for help. I would not be present for the next thing. But didn't my brother say that the big man recognized Prince of Hejian as his adoptive father, and the matter was solved."

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you. Your husband, I'm innocent and did not do anything to sorry for you. Someone must be jealous of me and wants to disrupt our happy life. This person deserves to die. Tell me his name and I'll kill him!"

The truth was revealed, Bai Qiaoqiao burst into tears and smiled, squeezed tightly into Li Mu's arms, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, I knew my husband wouldn't be like that, they were just talking nonsense."

"It's just them talking nonsense!" Li Mu glanced at Li Zhien next to him, as if saying, why didn't he apologize?

Li Zhien was not so easy to fool. She looked at Li Mu, then looked at Dugu Jiu, and said, "Madam, don't be fooled by the master. Their brothers are one mind, so they naturally have to help cover it up. Haven't you heard Mrs. Sun say that the master's appearance is called "Jiaojiao". She speaks with a nose and eyes. If it is fake, how can she say so many details?"

Bai Qiaoqiao was an unintentional person. When she heard Li Zhien's words, she felt it made sense, so she reached out to push Li Mu: "Don't hug me, go hug that Jiaojiao!"

Of course, Li Mu couldn't let go and glared at Li Zhien fiercely. He knew Bai Qiaoqiao, but although he was jealous, he wouldn't think so deeply. Now he understood that Bai Qiaoqiao's appearance was bewitched by this girl's movie. It was really hateful. He was jealous and dared not stand up, so he fooled Qiaoqiao to stand up and should be beaten!

But I am not afraid of being slanted by the shadows. I have never done anything I have done before, so what are I afraid of! Li Mu said again: "Don't listen to those women gossiping, Jiaojiao has this person. But that is the love of the Prince of Hejian. How many courage do I dare to compete with the Prince of Hejian?"

"Oh..." Li Zhien immediately said as if he was grabbing some handle, "To be honest, the master does not want to have a good relationship, but he does not dare to compete with the Prince of Hejian... Madam, we are not wrong, Master."

"Shut up! You're jealous and provoke me and my wife, and see if I won't hit you." Li Mu was furious, let go of Bai Qiaoqiao, pulled Li Zhien over, pressed her legs and slapped her butt twice. When he hit her head, Li Zhien blushed. After the second hit, his body collapsed as limp and could no longer speak.

Dugu Jiu turned his gaze aside when Li Mu raised his hand. He was from a major family and knew etiquette and rules. He did not look at what he was not polite and listened to what he was not polite. He had already integrated into his habits.

He had just heard this for so long and understood what was going on. When his sister-in-law heard a woman who came to buy things, she thought her elder brother had a good relationship in Pingkangfang. He knew that this was not the case. But today he heard that Li Mu planned to open a brothel in Pingkangfang. It was okay now, but if the brothel was opened, it would be difficult to guarantee that something would happen in the future.

Thinking of the scene where Li Mu and the fireworks woman were rubbing each other, the pretty face under the mask frowned.

He glanced at Li Mu who was scolding Li Zhien, and slowly said, "Sister-in-law, I can guarantee my elder brother, there is no such thing. If my sister-in-law doesn't believe it, wait until my elder brother's brothel opens, and you'll see it with your own eyes."

"What?" Bai Qiaoqiao widened her eyes and said in disbelief; "Xiaojiu, what did you say? Your elder brother wants to open a brothel?"

Li Mu's eyes almost popped out and hurriedly turned his eyes to Dugu Jiu, but Dugu Jiu seemed to be unable to see it, and was still saying: "Yes, when the Ministry of Works held a meeting today, my brother said that he wanted to use the horse farm and Datang Salt Industry and Datang Mining shares to replace the Pingkangfang's industry. He said that he wanted to open a big brothel, and also a gambling house next to the brothel."

"You're almost done!" Li Mu quickly let go of Li Zhien, rushed over and covered Dugu Jiu's mouth, and pushed him out of the door without saying anything. Turning back, seeing his wife and concubine's red eyes and resentful eyes, Li Mu sighed and said, "Don't cry for a while, I can explain..."

When Dugu Jiu heard this outside, a soul-absorbing smile appeared on his pretty face under the mask, and he happily hummed a little tune and went back to his room.

...

Li Mu explained for half a night before he could make it clear. When it was almost dawn, he could only sleep for a while. He had no food to eat, let alone do something else. I don’t know where Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien got such strong energy. They didn’t eat and couldn’t see any fatigue. Questions came after questions. If they answered, they had a little hesitation. After that, they were over, and explained. One question could lead to three, and it would be more extended. It would be impossible to get around in half an hour.

From the day Li Mu planned to reform the Jiaofangsi, he thought about all kinds of possible problems. The nobles and officials did not scare him, but he really thought about giving up this night.

I can't stand it anymore...

Early in the morning, while Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien couldn't stand it and fell asleep. Li Mu got up, slipped out of the back door, walked around, and slipped into the back door of Wang Ou's shop. When he came back last night, he saw Wang Ou's carriage and knew she was here.

Wang Ou had just woken up and had not yet dressed up. Seeing that Li Mu had come, he was not in a hurry to get up and wait for him to wear a loose dress. The two of them got back into bed. Li Mu was so stunning that he lost his bad thoughts. He squeezed into Wang Ou's arms, smelled the elegant frankincense, and was drowsy.

Wang Ou looked at Li Mu and felt very distressed. She adjusted her posture several times, just to make him feel more comfortable. She looked at him without blinking. The maid brought water over and wanted her to wash up from now on. She glared at her and hurriedly stepped down.

Li Mu hugged Wang Ou's fragrant body and wanted to sleep, but he just couldn't sleep. This feeling is commonly known as being overwhelmed. His brain has passed the most exhausting period and is excited again. Even though he has sent a signal to tell the body that he needs sleep, the highly excited nerves are preventing people from entering a state of sleep.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

Li Mu worked hard several times but couldn't sleep. He had to open his eyes and look at Wang Ou pitifully against the dark circles that were the same as Pangda.

Seeing that he opened his eyes, Wang Ou asked softly, "What's wrong with his husband? Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Put your dirty thoughts, not what you think."

Wang Ou smiled and said, "I didn't say anything either."

Hearing the word "I'm a family", Li Mu suddenly remembered the madam Chunfenglou. He immediately retching and almost vomited. He hurriedly said, "Don't say "I'm a family" these two days. Once you talk about me, I can think of the one Chunfenglou."

Suddenly Li Mu stopped, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something stupid.

Sure enough, Wang Ou's tone became colder. He looked at Li Mu's eyes and said quietly: "Is Chunfeng Tower? Husband, this place sounds a bit strange?"

Li Mu buried his head in Wang Ou's chest and begged: "I beg you, can you stop asking... I just explained this last night, just to explain this matter, I didn't close my eyes all night, so let me go, okay?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Ou's lips. She actually knew everything. The people under her command had already reported the incident to her. She knew that Li Mu had no good looks. If there were any, the body of the good looks would be cold at this time.

But she still liked to listen to Li Mu's explanation. Her eyes turned and she sighed slowly: "Who made me just the third lady, I dare not ask..."
