Chapter 539 Watching the Drama

"My uncle is really back!"

Mrs. Mo rushed into the main room first, saw Liu Ji sitting inside drinking tea, and shouted to the people behind her in surprise.

Old Master Mo and Old Madam Mo forced a smile on their old faces and pushed Baoer forward, "Hurry up and pay your respects to your uncle!"

Baoer was a little confused and a little scared, especially when he saw the so-called uncle sitting high on the armchair, staring at him with unfriendly eyes. He was so scared that he fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Liu Ji asked unhappily.

Fortunately, there were no outsiders around, otherwise if others saw this scene, they would think that he had done something to the kid.

Liu Ji's reaction was within the Mo family's expectations.

After all, they knew clearly how they treated this bastard son-in-law in the past.

However, who could have imagined that the unruly man back then would become a high and mighty scholar today.

If they had known this would happen, they would not have said such derogatory words to him.

It wouldn't be the case that when they met the son-in-law of the Juren today, the other party would be so rude to them.

The four adults of the Mo family looked at each other, and finally Old Master Mo gritted his teeth, and knelt down next to Baoer.

"Master Juren, I was an old man and had no vision back then. Please forgive me for my mistakes. If you want to hate someone, hate me, an old man with a bad mouth. Don't bother with the younger generation. After all, we are still a family."

Old Master Mo wiped his tears and cried, "Our family is really suffering. For the sake of my daughter and Dalang's children, please be kind and help your eldest brother-in-law and his family."

The old man knelt down, and Brother Mo and Sister-in-law Mo also knelt down quickly, saying that they were wrong in the past and asked Liu Ji not to bother with them.

Such servility and flattery, let alone Liu Ji, even if Qi Xianguan, who specializes in cultivating gentlemanly character, came here, he would not help but soften his heart at this moment.

Moreover, seeing that the person who used to look down on him was now willing to kneel down at his feet and admit his mistake, Liu Ji felt so happy!

To be honest, if he hadn't caught a glimpse of the evil woman's cold eyes at the kitchen door, he would have immediately pretended to be calm and agreed to it, saying: My brother-in-law's business is my business, and I will take care of everything!

Of course, at the critical moment, my mind turned cold and I suppressed what was in my heart.

Liu Ji stood up and helped the Mo family member who was kneeling in front of him up. He was happy to play the role of a good son-in-law who did not bear grudges. He patted Baoer's little head, took a piece of dessert from the table and gave it to him, and asked in a gentle voice:

"How old are you? Have you ever been to school? Do you want to take the imperial examination like your uncle and become a juren?"

Not only did he ask about Baoer, he also helped the two elders to sit up, said that he was ignorant in the past, and asked about their health.

Finally, he ordered to the kitchen: "Ms. Li, please bring all the delicious dishes at home. I want to go to the study with my eldest brother-in-law to have a few drinks!"

"Hahaha, I really let you down back then. You must let me make it up to you now. Don't refuse. Just stay at home for the next few days, eat and drink well, and don't think about saving money for me!"

Li was stunned. She didn't expect the master to change his expression so quickly.

She first glanced at the lady at the door, and seeing that she had no intention of stopping her, she agreed.

But Li was still worried, "Madam, are you just going to leave the master alone like this?"

Qin Yao thought of the mess in the study, and the corners of her mouth curved up, revealing a wicked smile, "Let the bullets fly for a while."

"Ah?" Li didn't understand. "What eggs? Madam, do you want to eat egg cake today?"

"Nothing." Qin Yao coughed twice to suppress her embarrassment and signaled Li to continue preparing.

I leaned against the door, waiting to see the show.

In the main hall, Liu Ji was surrounded by the Mo family. He listened to their various words that were trying to please him with his eyes narrowed, and it was obvious that he enjoyed it very much.

However, Liu Ji did not immediately agree to the task proposed by Brother Mo.

He knew his own worth best, and he knew that this matter could not be done without some money. And he had no money in his pocket.

As for the Mo family’s pockets, they are probably cleaner than their white palms.

When you help someone, how can you not get any benefits but also pay for it?

Liu Ji laughed and didn't give any definite answer.

The two elders looked at each other, pushed Baoer forward, and talked about the child going to school.

The school in Liujia Village has been built. Liu Ji knows this, but he is not the village chief. Does his word count?

Liu Ji was suddenly stunned. He had just been praised to the sky by the Mo family and thought he was omniscient and omnipotent, but now he calmed down a little.

Liu Ji shook his head in an attempt to wake up.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mo mentioned that there was a young and beautiful cousin in her mother's village. If her brother-in-law didn't mind, she would go there herself to bring the cousin over to chat with him and relieve his boredom.

When Mrs. Li heard this in the kitchen, she was so scared that the iron spoon in her hand almost flew out.

He hurriedly turned around to look at the kitchen door. Qin Yao had brought herself a stool at some point and was eating melon seeds while watching the "big show" in the main room with great interest, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Although Madam Mingming didn't turn around, she seemed to be able to see her. She raised her hand and waved, indicating that she should continue cooking.

Li was about to say "Madam, are you okay?" but she swallowed it back.

She pricked up her ears to listen to the noises in the main room, praying silently that the master would not get carried away and make a big mistake.

Fortunately, there was no sound of the master responding with joy from the main room.

Liu Ji suddenly coughed twice, interrupting Mrs. Mo who was talking more and more excitedly.

"What's wrong with you, son-in-law?" The Mo family immediately expressed their concern, and the eldest brother Mo diligently patted Liu Ji's back.

Liu Ji took a long while to recover. He pushed away the smelly Mo family members who were surrounding him. He didn't know how long it had been since they had washed. He stood up and asked:

"Ms. Li, is the food ready?"

Li replied: "It will be ready soon."

Liu Ji said "oh" and felt inexplicably guilty. He didn't go to look at Qin Yao who was eating melon seeds at the door. He invited the Mo family to go to the study with him and wait for dinner.

Qin Yao immediately put down the melon seeds in her hand, stood up and followed.

Liu Ji was very perceptive and immediately noticed that she had followed him, but thinking that she was also the head of the family, it was natural for her to entertain the guests together, so he did not think much about it.

After being away from home for a long time, Liu Ji's first thought was about the evil woman at home and the silver in her hands.

The second thing he thought about was the study, this little world that belonged to him alone.

Liu Ji came to the door of the study room expectantly. Well, the door was open. It didn’t matter. It must be because the Mo family was waiting inside.

Stepping through the door, I raised my eyes.

The floor was covered with black shoe prints, broken bones, and messily placed chairs, stools, and vases.

The wrinkled peony tablecloth that gave off a strange smell was spread on the eight-immortals table that he had specially bought.

There were luggage scattered everywhere, and a black sweat towel was draped over his favorite bonsai stand, covering the small green pine on it.

In the inner room, his tidy bed was covered with bedding piled up in a mess, and there was an extra bed on the floor, pressing down his nice woolen blanket and crushing it.

Liu Ji couldn't believe it and walked out of the door, closed his eyes, and opened them again.

Everything in front of me is actually real!

Thinking of the porcelain vases, teacups and rare books in his collection, Liu Ji hurriedly picked up his clothes and rushed into the side study.

This place was no longer as tidy as it was before he left, and his treasures were scattered in every corner.

Liu Ji took a deep breath, and then another deep breath. He clenched his fists and couldn't control himself at all. He roared like a groundhog: "Ahhhh!!!"
