Chapter 58: Between Mother and Daughter

The secret that I have always regarded as was suddenly exposed.

Chen Muqing was in a panic.

Li's face was cold: "Jinxiu did such a ugly thing, but you didn't send her out to be a good match for someone early, but she would still allow her to hide in your house to recuperate. She had no room for her. This is the first thing. She was talking nonsense there, and you didn't need to let Mother Li, who was guilty and timid because of doing something wrong, but sent the maid in her house to serve him in turn, so that the situation could be expanded arbitrarily. It cannot be used for others. This is the second thing. You know that such a thing happened at home, and you can't tolerate her, but when you see that there is no movement on me, you think I will open my mouth to her because of you. There is no ability to judge the situation. This is the third thing. Knowing that I want to send her to the village, I don't have to put the person in a force, but instead wait and see with luck. Indecisiveness. This is the fourth thing."

Chen Muqing was sweating profusely.

Li was aggressive: "I'll ask you, what would you do if I didn't let Puyu, who didn't want to sweep the snow in Xiaoliuyuan, make this matter so well known to everyone, but just send her to the village directly, what would you do?"

I see.

It was strange at that time, why did Pu Yu suddenly run to Xiaoliuyuan to sweep the snow... Did Li already have an idea when he left Pu Yu? Or, earlier...

Chen Muqing opened his mouth and was speechless.

"Since you want to marry Zhuji to Baimu, you didn't make any plans early. When Manager Zhou came to me to propose marriage, he suddenly changed his mind and drank Shuanghuang with Zhou Bing, and finally got the matter done." Li's face was as deep as water, "I'll ask you again, you have never contacted Zhou Bing. If Zhou Bing didn't have this cleverness at all, I was determined to let Cuilu marry, what are you going to do?"

After experiencing the initial panic, Chen Muqing gradually calmed down during Li's questioning.

She began to reflect on her behavior.

Indeed, I have changed a lot... It seems that as my body changes, my attitude towards things has also changed. I am no longer as meticulous and cautious as before. Do you subconsciously always feel that even if something happens, there will be Li's protection...

The corners of his eyes accidentally swept over Li's back of his hand, which was a little shiny due to edema. Chen Muqing felt sour in his heart, and tears fell without warning.

What Li wants is just hoping that she has the ability to protect herself...

Seeing her daughter crying, if it were normal, Li would have held her in her arms and comforted her with great affection. But at this moment, Li could only suppress the reluctance in her heart and continued to beat Chen Muqing: "Tell me, why do you have to marry Zhuji to Baimu?" But his tone of speaking still eased a little.

Of course it is because they are in love with each other... If the happiness they cannot get is obtained by the people around them, they will be grateful for them!

But she couldn't say that.

The maid in the inner house and the servant in the outer courtyard gave her private advice... What kind of consequences will it lead to many innocent people... Just like the fall that fell many years ago, although she fell from that time and space to this time and space, she also witnessed the strictness of the feudal hierarchy with her own eyes...

Seeing that his daughter wanted to speak but stopped, she finally remained silent, and Li was very disappointed.

"Mu Qing, you have to use your brain to do things in the future. I'm not just making trouble with you." She shook her head gently and said earnestly, "The Shen family's silk and satin shop is all under Zhou Bing's name. Without the Shen family's support, Zhou Bing's business would not have been so smooth; similarly, without Zhou Bing's painstaking management, the Shen family's silk and satin shop could not have developed from two small shops to the current eighteen branches in ten years. People like Zhou Bing have to be held in their hands. So I had planned Baimu's marriage."

Chen Muqing listened carefully and tried hard to keep up with Li's thinking.

"Zhou Bing knew it well. As soon as he came back, he proposed to marry a family and have a son and daughter-in-law, just to express his opinion to me. Although he is in charge of the Shen family's business now, whether it is him, his son and grandson, he will be a member of the Shen family for the rest of his life." Li said lightly, "But when I really gave him Cuilu, he looked like he was not very willing. In fact, he was telling me that although he was a servant of the Shen family, he was not a person who could be picked up at will, and asked me to give him some decentness in major matters. I just didn't expect that you would come out to disrupt the situation, and even more unexpectedly, he would take your gamble when I was a little indulging in you."

"With it, did you put on my thread?" Chen Muqing was a little stunned.

Now everyone in the Shen family is full of people's hearts, which has a lot to do with Li's condition. Although he would not openly curry favor with Aunt Chen, he would not act like he was loyal to him.

Li smiled and said, "He has been with me for more than ten years. Even if one day, he wants to defect to others, but others think that he is the one I have used, and whether or not he dares to use him is still a question. He simply walked the road to the end and took the opportunity to show his attitude and wanted to follow you. Speaking of which, you are not young and it is time to settle down. Instead of staying in the Shen family with uncertain future, it is better to go with you."

"Follow me?" Chen Muqing murmured in confusion, "He is a big manager, can he still be a roommate?"

"It's just going to accompany the room!" Li looked at her and smiled.

Is this possible? First of all, can Chen Zhen pass through?

But today's accidents followed one after another, Chen Muqing had lost confidence in his judgment and decided to listen to Li's speech.

Who knew that Li did not let her keep silent and listen to her words, and said, "Tell me, why do he want to be a companion with you?"

Chen Muqing wanted to give up and answered, but she didn't know, and asked Li to tell her directly, but when she looked up at Li's face full of hope, she hesitated again.

After thinking for a while, she thought carefully: "Is it because if I get married, you will do my dowry for two shops? I am young and don't know anything. My husband's family is not easy to interfere because it is my dowry. In this way, all the things on the shop must be listened to him... This is no different from opening a shop by himself... No, it is better than opening a shop by himself, at least the Shen family has settled all the official matters for him."

Li's face cleared slightly, and he nodded with a smile: "That's why he made a quick decision to leave the green thread and make a pearl of pearls."

Could it be that Zhou Baimu wanted to marry Zhuji because of this...

Thoughts flashed, Chen Muqing felt cold in his heart.

But she had no time to think about it, and Li looked at her with a bright look: "Mu Qing, why did you insist on going to Yaowang Temple to lightly that day?"

Looking at Li's wise gaze, Chen Muqing suddenly realized.

For someone like Li who has experienced too many life, death, honor and disgrace, how ridiculous it is to conceal it!

What she was concerned about was not her own death, but her last wish was not fulfilled!

Chen Muqing suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly became clear.

For such a mother, the best comfort is to show her ability to protect herself in front of her...

She straightened her spine and said calmly: "I often follow the master to Yaowang Temple. When I passed by a nearby pharmacy called Jimin, I saw many people seeking medical treatment and asking about medicine. Thinking that this pharmacy should be pretty good, I took the prescription that Lord Liu prescribed for you to ask about your condition."

Perhaps because of a decision on the matter, Chen Muqing changed his past casualness and a little coldness revealed in his voice.

A hint of relief flashed in Li's eyes: "Why don't you ask Dr. Liu directly if you want to go far?"

"There is no evidence, I'm afraid he will perfunctorily treat me!"

"How long will it take for me?"

When the words came to his mouth, Chen Muqing still hesitated for a moment: "When I was having a banquet at home, I had contacted Dr. Liu. He said, at least two months, at most half a year..."

Li closed his eyes and leaned on the big welcome pillow behind him with a tired look.

She murmured in a low voice as if asking herself: "...In other words, the one I support is to live next summer. I can't support it, just around the Spring Festival..."

If you know your own death clearly, no matter how broad-minded you are, those who see through the world will feel sad for a moment!

Chen Muqing held Li's hand.

Li turned his face and looked at Chen Muqing and smiled slightly: "Muqing, what are you going to do now?"

That tone is different from the usual jokes, jokes or coquettishness between mother and daughter, but a negotiation tone.

Think of Chen Muqing as a person who can think independently to negotiate with her.

Chen Muqing made an open and honest statement: "The specific one has not been decided yet. Just think about it, and you have to arrange the people around you. If there is a person who needs to be useful in your hands."

Li raised his eyelids slightly and looked at her: "At least I can see my situation clearly, and finally I relaxed."

Just had some snacks!

Can't believe it completely!

Chen Muqing lowered his head in shame.

The room was quiet.

The ground clock in the east was rotating regularly, and the ticking sounds clearly came into her ears, making people feel the uneasiness in the air.

Li slowly leaned on the big-faced pillow and closed his eyes with exhaustion.

"Mu Qing, just be the third son of the Liang family!"

"What!" Chen Muqing didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment, but soon, she realized.

"During this period, I have left these seven or eight families. Either I have a poor knowledge or a poor appearance. There are two people who look good, but when I ask, they are born in illegitimate. I don't dislike this. The one who is born in illegitimate is better. After marrying, I will live alone in a house, and I will be more free. But when I ask, I feel nervous when I ask... Alas, this is just in front of me. If I come to the master, I am afraid I can't even say anything."

Is Liang Jimin?

Is that Liang Jimin, who is as gentle as a gentleman, who is as gentle as a handsome tree?

Chen Muqing was confused for a moment.

"He is the third child in the family. There is a eldest son in front of him and a eldest son. No matter how you fight for the title, you can't get his head. If you don't have any demands, you will naturally be without anger..." Li's voice was filled with fatigue. "Now I am a juren, and I will be defeated in the future. As long as you don't have high requirements, you can still become an idle adjutant. Wouldn't it be better... He likes you, like you, likes those things that burn money. Even if you don't have the whole heart you say, the two of them will not be speechless in the opposite direction... When you have children, this husband will be even more indifferent... I will pack up the things at home, and I will accompany you without showing any signs of mountains or water. As long as Liang Jimin does not get involved in the habit of gambling, he will not worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life..."
