Li Siwen was about to get married, so naturally he could not stay with Li Mu anymore. While he was drunk, he was taken back to the Duke of England by Li Zhen. At this time, the evening was drooping and the flowing mat was coming to an end. Some people were drunk on the ground, and some were reluctant to take advantage of the table. More often, they saw that someone had started to clean the table, and they didn't know where they found clean cloth, spread it on the table, and packed the unfinished wine and meat.

Someone wanted to stop him, but Li Mu stopped him. He was not a person who likes to waste, but it is inevitable that the banquet will be wasted. It is naturally a good thing for someone to pack it up and take it home. This is the middle of winter, so there is no need to worry about flies, food will not cause illness.

After giving all the idle things to Ergou, Li Mu staggered back to Feng Qiuhuang. Today, Jingdong Jiji was blocked all over the streets, and Feng Qiuhuang had no business, and seemed a little deserted. Li Mu stumbled into the front door and almost tripped by the threshold. Suddenly, he held him with both hands. Li Mu looked up and saw that it was Wang Ou. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Why are you here?"

"You are not allowed to walk around?" Wang Ou smiled, leaned into Li Mu's ear, and whispered: "It was Zhien who sent someone to come to me."

"Ah?" Li Mu was stunned and frowned, "Will she look for you?"

"You said you were a loser and gave all the money to others. You can't even get through the New Year, so I have to know." Wang Ou pursed her lips and said, "I brought 10,000 yuan. Zhien is good to me now."

"..." Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry. This housekeeper is really realistic.

Wang Ou helped Li Mu sit next to the chair, without explaining anything, rubbed her swollen temples and asked, "Do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

Wang Ou shook her head and said, "Although I don't know what the husband is going to do, I know that husband will not do a loss-making business. Zhien is young after all, so it's normal to worry about it in the depths."

After pausing, Wang Ou said again: "I just admire Sister Qiaoqiao. She was so generous, which I didn't expect."

"Qiaoqiao," Li Mu smiled and said, "Qiaoqiao is not generous, but she doesn't care. When she was with me, we still ate vegetable dumplings. Even now she has money, she treats me the same way she used to." Li Mu raised his head, looked at Wang Ou, and said, "She is different from you, don't compare like this."

"I have nothing to compare, I just envy Qiaoqiao." Wang Ou took Li Mu's hand and said, "I wish to win the heart of one person and never leave each other forever. I don't know if I can take a part in the heart of my husband?"

"More than one point, at least two points." Li Mu raised his fingers and said with a smile. He was most afraid that a talented woman like Wang Ou would become a teenager. He really couldn't handle it. He changed the subject and said, "Where is Qiaoqiao and Zhien? Why didn't you see them?"

"They went to see my mother-in-law." Wang Ou said in a very resentful tone, "Qiaoqiao invited me, but I thought, my mother-in-law didn't know what you and me are, and didn't know how to face her, so I didn't go together. You won't blame me, right?"

"How can you blame this? It's not too late yet." Wang Ou didn't mention it, and Li Mu almost forgot that there was still this one.

Li Mu's mother, Sun, is 36 years old this year. Although Li Mu already knows that Sun is not him, or the original "Li Mu"'s biological mother, it is very normal for her to have a seventeen-year-old son in the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Ou is the same age as Li Shimin, and is 32 years old this year. Because her husband vomited blood shortly after she got married, she died of death. Today, she is still a girl's family. But her age will not change because of anything. She is 32 years old, only four years apart from Sun, and her seniority is the same. The two have met several times, and they are all "sisters".

If Wang Ou suddenly changed her mouth and called her mother-in-law, I don’t know if Sun could accept it. Even if she could accept it, if she was too scared and leaked it inadvertently and let Tang Jian know, it would be a big deal.

Li Mu always stayed away from Tang Jian. Although Tang Jian's style of conduct was a model of a gentleman, Li Mu always had a knot in his heart because of his affairs with Sun. He was a man of two lives and finally had a mother, but he was "robbed" by someone. Although he later learned that this mother was not his biological mother, the knot in his heart could not be solved.

He did not interfere with it at that time, because it was entirely because of Sun. He could see that Sun wanted to marry Tang Jian. If he was really Sun's son, he might have stopped him, but he himself knew that he was a fake, so he did not have the power. Later, he learned that the original Li Mu was also a "fake", which made him feel that it was right to not stop him at the beginning. Everyone has the power to pursue happiness. In the Tang Dynasty, the honor of the Duke of Tang Jian, being able to marry a commoner daughter was also a matter of great courage. This alone was enough to entrust him to life.

But this can only show that Tang Jian is a gentleman and cannot represent anything else. Maybe he is still a foolish and loyal person? He was one of the first people to follow Li Yuan to uprising. He knew Li Shimin very well, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was growing up. He knew everything about Li Shimin when he was young. If he knew that Li Mu and Wang Ou were together, Tang Jian would not be worried that he would implicate the Tang family and report to Li Shimin.

Before Li Mu was ready, it was like he was just falling into the trap.

Li Mu frowned and fell into deep thought. Wang Ou looked at him and could guess the distress in his heart. He said softly: "Your husband doesn't need to worry. Even if you don't have a status, as long as you can be with you, I will be willing to do so."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "You are willing, but I can't. It's not easy for me to come to this world. I don't seek to dominate the world or leave a name in history, but I want to live upright. You are my wife, how can you not have a title? Don't worry, one day, I will make you my wife."

"Yes." Wang Ou nodded and leaned on Li Mu's shoulder. Although she did not give her any confidence in what she said to Li Mu, Li Mu was relieved enough to say this.

She never doubted Li Mu's ability, but she had to decide who the opponent was. Li Shimin is not an ordinary person, he is the emperor. The emperor means that he is the only one in the world. How can Li Mu compete with him?

...

The alcohol was rising, and Li Mu had a severe headache. So, accompanied by Wang Ou, he took a nap on the bed in the study. Wang Ou helped him massage his head and fell asleep unknowingly. When he woke up, the alcohol had already subsided, and Wang Ou's shadow was gone. Li Mu got up from the bed and saw a note on the table. Wang Ou had already gone back, and Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien were also back. She left the note and told her.

Li Mu put on his clothes and came out of the study. Seeing the lights in the warehouse, there were two people shady. Li Mu yawned and walked over. It was Li Zhien and Xiaozhu. Li Mu leaned against the door and watched the two order goods. Li Zhien had obviously heard his footsteps, but he didn't look back, obviously still angry.

Finally, when the goods were finished, Xiaozhu went out with the account book in his arms. Li Zhien turned around, glanced at Li Mu, and pouted and was about to walk past him.

The distance between the two was getting closer step by step, and Li Mu still leaned against the door frame, without saying anything or stopping him. Li Zhien glanced at him again, and saw that he still had no reaction, he couldn't help but feel very disappointed. He followed Xiaozhu silently and walked over to Li Mu.

Why did he ignore me? Why didn’t he coax me? It’s easy to coax me, just coax me a little?

Li Zhien walked to the corridor and watched Li Mu walk back to the bedroom from the warehouse, and he felt uneasy. The more he thought about it, the more scared he felt. He even made up a picture. Li Mu would not let her enter the house tonight, and he would drive her away tomorrow, and it would be impossible to get married...

The more I thought about it, the more I felt scared. Li Zhien no longer cared about being angry and ran to Li Mu.

Just as she was about to step into the room, she suddenly heard the sound of conversation coming from the room.

"...Madam, what should I do? Zhien was angry with me and stopped talking to me."

"You gave all the money to your brother-in-law, you didn't think about it. I just agreed yesterday that we would get married together during the Spring Festival. But you gave all the money to your brother-in-law. What should you do with Zhien? Fortunately, Sister Ou sent 10,000 yuan today, otherwise Zhien's wedding dress would not be able to buy it."

"Ah!" Li Mu suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that this is the reason for being angry!"

"What about that?"

"I thought it was just that. If it was because of this reason, it would be really wrong to blame me. How do you know I have no money? Our Sihai Gambling House will open tomorrow. From tomorrow until the Spring Festival, there will be another month. I can't make 100,000 yuan a month? Then my gambling house will be in vain!"

Bai Qiaoqiao said: "You know, Zhien doesn't know, is it wrong to be angry?"

“That’s right, right…”

Li Zhien saw the shadow inside through the window. Li Mu hugged Bai Qiaoqiao and couldn't help but bulge his cheeks. Li Mu said again, "... But madam, don't you be angry with me? In this way, Zhien is still ignorant."

Bai Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "I'm not angry with you because I know that you can't bear to let me suffer. It's impossible for me to just care about my brother-in-law and ignore my family. As for what you do, I'm too lazy to think about it. Zhien's temper is different from mine, and I can't say that she is ignorant. Today, my mother praised her when she saw Zhien."

"The little girl is just likable." Li Mu smiled and glanced out the window. The eavesdropping figure outside the window seemed so terrifying. In fact, this was discussed by Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao, otherwise it would have been so coincidental that Li Zhien was just rushing over and could hear the conversation between the two.

Bai Qiaoqiao asked at the right time: "But husband, what do you think? Why are you so generous? Even if you want to give your brother-in-law a big gift, you don't need to be so much gold, right?"

"Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see through this." Li Mu said with a smile: "Etiquette, it is important to be a kind of courtesy. What is a kind of courtesy? It must be afforded by the gift giver, and the recipient receives the gift. In this way, both parties will feel happy, otherwise it will be a burden."

"I can afford such a gift of 10,000 taels of gold. Can the Qin family afford it? I underestimate Duke Yi. Even if Duke Yi can afford it, he will have to sell houses and land. Is it like this to marry his daughter? So, he must not be able to pay it back. But he took the initiative to propose the marriage, and he could not refuse to accept it. It was not right to accept it, nor did he accept it. In the end, he could only ask me how to solve it."

"I originally planned to donate this money to the Sales Bureau. Years of war, coupled with the Yellow River floods, countless refugees, and countless orphans. Even if it is 10,000 taels of gold, it is a drop in the bucket. But having is better than not. I want to be a person who throws bricks and attracts jade. I believe that as life gets better and better, everyone can have the same mind as me, treating money like dirt, and taking it out to help hungry people and spending it on meaningful things."

Li Mu sighed and said, "There is no way in this world, and there are more people who walk, so there is a way. But this is how people like to walk the roads that people have already walked, because they are relatively flat and have no thorns. And the first person who walks through the thorns will definitely be stabbed. Your husband, I, is the first person who walks through the thorns. Maybe no one now can understand me, but I believe that in the future, those refugees and orphans who have been helped by me will thank me."

"Husband..." Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes were red, she grabbed Li Mu's hand tightly and said, "I knew that my husband was a real man with a broad mind."

"Oh!" Li Mu sighed and said, "Only you, my beloved wife, can understand me so much." He glanced at the window again and muttered, "How about saying that, I am not as good as my wife."

Li Zhien couldn't hold it in anymore, so he broke into the house a few steps and said, "I didn't say no, I am... the same as my wife. But next time I donate, can I discuss it with us? Even if I donate, don't donate so much at once, keep a little, and the family still has to live."

The sound is getting smaller and smaller, and it seems unconfident.

Li Mu laughed, opened his other arm, hugged her in his arms, and said, "I'm not a fool. If I can't live a real life, I'm still in the mood to take care of others? Moreover, this matter is not just to donate to orphans, but also to give an explanation to Miss Qin. After all, Siwen's approach made people lose face. Even if they get married in desperation, there will definitely be a gap in the future. But after today's incident, she has face and the grudges in her heart are untied. After all, there are so many ladies in Chang'an City, and he is the only one who wants to marry."

Lee Ji-eun muttered, "It made her show all the money."

"If you want to show off, how can you teach you how to show off when the Lantern Festival is held?"
