Chapter 174

"What the hell is going on? Didn't he make things difficult for you?"

The maid bent down to help Wei Yingluo untie the rope and said, "Mr. Marquis is just a joke. In fact, he is a good person. He brought us here. He first asked Mrs. Mudan to arrange a tailor, tailor clothes for the children, and asked the man named Ergou to go to the West City to buy shoes for the children. Now the children are placed in an empty shop in Jingdongji. Marquis said that tomorrow we will find a craftsman from the Ministry of Works to repair the original yard, and then let the children live back."

Wei Yingluo didn't believe it and said, "Would he be so kind?"

"Really, the children are out there and are having a meal. The Marquis asked Wang Po to steam steamed buns and killed a sheep. Didn't the lady smell the fragrance?"

Wei Yingluo was nervous just now, and she didn't have time to smell it. After hearing what the maid said, she sniffed her nose and sniffed it. It really smelled like mutton. Wei Zheng was famously poor. Before the festival, there was no meat in his house. Although Wei Yingluo was considered a lady from a wealthy family, the food she usually ate was not much different from that of ordinary people.

Of course the maid knew about her situation and said, "Miss, I've eaten it and I'll leave you a bowl."

Wei Yingluo blushed and said, "Who wants to eat his food, I won't eat his food!"

The maid teased, "Oho... Miss, I called him a villain just now, why did he suddenly become 'him'?"

Wei Yingluo quickly explained, "Don't think about it all, I... I have nothing between him and me! I won't be able to receive his kindness. Besides, what's the use of him just caring about this meal? I'm afraid that the children will not be able to drink porridge anymore after eating mutton."

The maid sighed and said, "My lady, this is your fault."

"Um?"

"I'm not talking to the Marquis, but Miss, you think too badly about the man. Do you know what the Marquis did for you? I just knew, half of what Xiao Shitou said, and half of it was helping Wang Po steam steamed buns, and she muttered. At noon, Xiao Shitou and others followed Wang Po to ask for something to eat, but Wang Po refused. It was the Marquis who asked Wang Po to give the steamed buns. Xiao Shitou was grateful to him, so he gave him half of the hidden candied fruit. The Marquis recognized that the candied fruit was given by you, and asked the man named Ergou to follow Xiao Shitou and others to find us. Seeing that there were so many children who could only drink porridge and not drink porridge every day, the Marquis couldn't bear it, so he asked someone to bring the children here. He not only cared about this meal, but also the future."

"How do he care? Is it pay?" Without waiting for the maid to reply, Wei Yingluo replied herself: "Yes, he is so rich. He is only a drop in his mouth to raise these children."

"No." said the maid, "The Marquis said, no one in this world can get something for nothing. Today is his treat. From tomorrow on, only those who work can eat steamed buns. Although the children are young, they have hands and feet, at least they can run and help carry something. They really can't do anything, and they can sweep the floor with a broom. He also said that those who are waiting for people to feed them with their necks are not worth pity. He can take care of the meal, but no matter the food of those lazy people."

After hearing the maid's words, Wei Yingluo was completely confused when she thought of Li Mu's appearance just now, and murmured: "Yes, is that right?"

"Yes!" the maid smiled and said, "The Marquis just likes to tease people..." As she said that, she glanced at Wei Yingluo and said with some slightest point: "I don't know why, I especially like to tease you, Miss."

"Bah!" Wei Yingluo's face was flushed with shame and said, "You dead girl, you bribed you with a bowl of mutton. He... His actions only mean that he is still in a state of conscience and is quite human. What does it have to do with me!"

"Okay, okay!" The maid put away the leftover sauce meat and wine pot that Li Mu had and said, "Hey, my lady, it's getting late. Do you want to eat something? We have to go home."

"I..." Wei Yingluo wanted to say no, but her stomach started to scream. She followed the maid outside the door, feeling a little nervous, worried about seeing Li Mu. According to her imagination, Li Mu would definitely be at the door, waiting for her to know the truth and see her joke.

But when she came out, all she saw was the children, no Li Mu, no big man, and no action to knock Dugu Jiu out of her mask.

Wei Yingluo saw a small stone chewing on a bone, and asked, "Where is that evil... Marquis, where is the Marquis?"

"He's leaving!" Xiao Shitou refused to stop for the first time. If Wei Yingluo hadn't asked him, he wouldn't have any reason.

"He just left?"

"Um..." Xiao Shitou thought for a while and said, "Ah, I remembered it. He asked me to bring you a word."

Wei Yingluo asked quickly: "What do you mean?"

"He said, don't be grateful to him. He is an inhumane person." Xiao Shitou wondered: "I think the Marquis is very good. How could he be an inhumane person? Humph! He is the inhumane person, but he is an inhumane person!"

Wei Yingluo's face turned red immediately!

But she was inexplicably relieved. If Li Mu didn't leave this sentence, she would be uneasy.

This is him, a guy who is unreasonable.

At this time, the maid brought her mutton soup, and Wei Yingluo took it and sat next to the little stone. She only left a few pieces of meat, most of which were distributed to the children next to her.

Wang and Bai Naoer stood at the back door of the grocery store and looked at him worriedly: "Old man, this girl is so beautiful."

"What's wrong?" Bai Naoer didn't understand the meaning and asked, "What's wrong with it looking good?"

"Silly!" Wang stared at Bai Nao'er and whispered: "I see that your good son-in-law is very concerned about her. If you take her as a concubine, your girl will be stupid and won't be swallowed by someone with a leather bone?"

"You're so stupid!" Bai Nao'er cursed, scolding Wang a little confused, and said, "You old man, scold me?"

"I'm scolding you!" Bai Naoer pulled Wang aside and said, "Do you still understand now? Which one can compare to our girl? My son-in-law, if he hadn't loved my daughter so much, could he spend so much effort on me? Not only did he give money to the land, he also used the horse farm members to exchange for the officials I had. Do you know how much this official is worth? Tell you, I've asked! It scares you to say it. Just counting the horse farm members, it's thousands of guan a month, and tens of thousands of guan a year, how much does it cost in a lifetime?"

Wang's eyes widened in fear and said, "Then, wouldn't that be hundreds of thousands of dollars..."

"That's right!" Bai Naoer pointed his head and said, "Is it because of my face that my son-in-law is willing to spend so much money to exchange for this official? You and I know in your heart how we treated him before. He didn't care about his past grudges, but it was because of my daughter. You dare to say that my daughter was stupid. I didn't let my son-in-law hear this. If I heard it, Humph! You are not far from death!"

"Oh, don't let it go!" Wang was so scared that he almost cried. He hugged Bai Naoer's thighs and said tremblingly: "I'm unintentional, I'm really unintentional. I'm worried that our daughter will suffer a loss..." As he said that, Wang suddenly slapped himself a few times and cursed: "Stop! I'm sure I won't say anything about this in the future. If I say bad things about our daughter again, I won't die a good death!"

"Okay, there is no outsider." Bai Naoer still felt a little sorry for her mother. She reached out to stop her, glanced at the backyard, and said, "You just don't know anything. Like today's affairs, you still have a quarrel with the son-in-law. What do you think you are, what do I mean? Isn't our entire Bai family living by pointing at the little thing that the son-in-law leaked? What does the son-in-law want to do and let us do it, just be obedient. If he is unhappy, he will cause my daughter to be implicated, and if he does, he will not be able to do it. This girl, let alone whether the son-in-law is interested in her, even if there is one, we have to turn a blind eye. If necessary, we have to help hide it..."

"Is there anyone who is your father like this?"

"Or what to do?" Bai Naoer asked, "What do you think you will do?"

Mrs. Wang said nothing.

"Oh!" Bai Nao'er sighed and said, "Looking in front of me, my daughter can still tie the hearts of a virtuous son-in-law. If she really can't tie that day... Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah, it won't be that day!"

Wang also said, "No, definitely not! Our daughter is better than her!"

"That pair!"

Suddenly, Wang thought of money again, looked at Bai Naoer and said with a heartache: "Old guy, you have to be an official. If you don't become an official and want an official, will our Bai family have a life for generations?"

"You are the woman's opinion!" Bai Naoer glared at Wang and said, "What do you know? What is our Bai family's origin? Merchants and hawkers are! The court clearly ordered that merchants and descendants should not participate in the imperial examinations. Do you think our Bai family has been merchants for generations? Now that I am an official, I have changed the style of our Bai family. After I become an official, my descendants can become officials. Isn't that good?"

"Why don't you understand? If you want to get a member, you have to have the confidence to get a member. A virtuous son-in-law has the ability, and he doesn't want a member, and they will send it to him. What are we? We also give it to the Duke of the Kingdom to do business together? Isn't it hot for us to hold this member? When I was alive, I was sloppy and had the face of a virtuous son-in-law, and I took it. But what about the descendants? The descendants of our Bai family are still merchants, the descendants of the Duke of the Kingdom, and the descendants of the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the People of

After Bai Naoer finished speaking, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes and said, "What I caught in my hand is my own. And for this money, if you have a virtuous son-in-law, are you still worried about food and clothing? Haven't you heard from the virtuous son-in-law? This market was given to him by Your Majesty. Now he gave it to me, and it can be passed down from generation to generation. What do you know! Women, you can cook your food!"

Wang really didn't understand much, but when he saw Bai Naoer had an idea, he was not panicked and praised: "It must be my old man, I have a plan in my heart! When I send these little plague ghosts away, I will serve you well tonight."
