It's bulging inside, so there should be a lot of dry food. I think it's enough.
He didn't refuse anymore and took the cake she handed him. He took a bite carefully. It was so crispy that crumbs fell off his mouth. It was so delicious!
As he ate, his eyes began to sore and red.
After three years, he finally ate something other than wild fruits and vegetables again.
Seeing him like this, Chen Ningzhu really didn't dare to associate the now skinny him with the frivolous and sloppy nobleman from three years ago.
I can only look away silently.
At the same time, Jiang Yanche finally discovered that Shen Ningzhu was missing and immediately became furious.
The county magistrate and his wife, along with their children including Li Jiaojiao, were called to the backyard and knelt on the ground tremblingly.
"I will ask again, where is the person?"
Li Mu was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He touched his head to the ground and cried out in tears.
"Your Majesty, please understand. I really don't know what happened. Please spare my life!"
Mrs. Li looked at his disappointing appearance with deep contempt in her eyes. She wondered why she fell in love with such a loser when she was young.
The more I think about it, the more I regret it.
So, he straightened his back and said,
"Your Highness, please calm down. I saw that woman yesterday and she was restless. I think she must have run away."
"In my opinion, she's just a blind thing. She ran away. There are many beauties in this world. If she is gone, there will be more people who admire Your Highness."
Li Jiaojiao also hurriedly responded,
"Yes, Your Highness. I have long admired Your Highness and hope Your Highness will show me mercy."
Li Mu was shocked and quickly turned around to curse at the two of them, "Foolish woman, rebellious woman, shut up right there."
Madam Li had never seen her husband speak so harshly to her, and her anger immediately rose rapidly. Even though Prince Chen was here, she couldn't suppress it.
"How dare you..."
"Shut up."
Before Madam Li could vent her anger, she was interrupted by Li Mu fiercely. Seeing her useless husband's eyes bloodshot, she was shaking with anger.
Mrs. Li was stunned and frightened for a moment.
When Li Jiaojiao saw that her mother had fallen into disgrace, she was afraid that the good things she had promised would be ruined by her father.
She quickly crawled to King Chen's feet, hugged his calves and cried bitterly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I truly adore you. As long as I can be with you, even if it means being a slave, I will not hesitate. Please have pity on my infatuation and accept me."
Li Mu: ...
Jiang Yanche looked at the people below with a teasing look, his eyes moving back and forth between them.
Finally, a smile fell on Li Jiaojiao,
"Even if you are a slave, you still want to follow me?"
"yes."
"What if I ask you to go through fire and water for me?"
"It is also my honor."
Li Jiaojiao's eyes were determined as if she wanted to join the party, and she spoke word for word. Li Mu was almost furious and was about to stop her when he saw Jiang Yanche's indifferent eyes fall on him.
In an instant, he felt as if someone was strangling him, and the words he had prepared were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a single word.
After a long time, he finally drooped his shoulders as if accepting his fate, and his back became visibly hunched.
Mrs. Li looked at her husband in front of her with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Only Li Jiaojiao was still immersed in her own beautiful dream.
She thought that if she could get King Chen to agree to take her, then from now on, she would be his, and the one who is close to the water would get the moon first.
By then, with her means, would she still be afraid of not getting any favor?
Prince Chen got up and left, taking Li Jiaojiao with him.
As soon as he left, Li Mu collapsed on the ground, muttering to himself,
"Foolish woman, foolish woman, retribution, retribution."
Mrs. Li finally realized that something was wrong. She hurried forward and asked Li Mu what he meant.
Li Mu just pushed her away coldly without saying a word.
The die is cast; there is no point in saying more.
Jiang Xuanyan has already arrived at the foot of the city, and it may be too late to find anyone.
His only prayer now was that he could fool Jiang Xuanyan and not ruin His Royal Highness Prince Chen's plan. Giving up Li Jiaojiao would be worth it if he could save the other people in the mansion.
Thinking of this, Li Mu took a deep breath, slowly stood up, brushed off the dust from the corner of his robe, and his eyes gradually became firm.
Ever since Mrs. Li discovered Li Mu's abnormality, she has been observing his expression intently.
Her daughter was finally taken away, but she did not feel the joy of having reached a higher position. Instead, she felt more and more anxious.
Seeing him stand up to leave, she rushed over and grabbed his wide sleeves, her voice trembling,
"Master, did Jiaojiao and I get you into trouble just now?"
"You... do you know something? Come on, Master, tell me, what's going on?"
Li Mu was already filled with anger, and she made him dizzy. How could he have the mood to pay attention to her? He shook her hand away with force, his eyes cold and without a trace of warmth.
The words he said were like ice chips, making Mrs. Li feel as if her heart had sunk into an ice cellar.
"Humph, ignorant bitch."
"Remember this, if anything happens to Jiaojiao, you can't blame anyone else. You should blame your greed as a mother. Everything she has suffered is your fault."
"It's the opposite of Tian Gang, the hen crows at dawn. I shouldn't have married a wicked woman like you in the first place."
So much so that in the end, it brought trouble to the descendants of his Li family. Marrying an unvirtuous wife really brought disaster to three generations!
"You...what do you mean?"
Mrs. Li was so frightened that her face turned pale, and now, no one answered her.
Li Mu said coldly,
"Come here, lock the lady up in the ancestral hall. No one is allowed to let her out without my order."
Mrs. Li was so frightened that she lost her manners in an instant. She pushed the servants away without caring about her image and yelled at Li Mu. But soon, she was gagged and dragged away.
The reputation of the lady of the house for twenty years was wiped out at this moment, but she was powerless to do anything.
Li Jiaojiao was taken to the house where Chen Ningzhu lived before. Jiang Yanche called the maid and nanny over to help her dress up and change her clothes.
This time, she finally wore an exquisite dress made of luxurious fabrics and shoes made of Shu brocade. Her hair was decorated with red gold filigree and ruby-studded hairpins, which swayed brightly and dazzled in the air.
She made the right choice.
In just one day, she had so many good things on her body, which she had never dared to imagine before.
Even the ancient double-disc cloud-shaped Qianshui skirt she wore yesterday was something she had begged her father for a long time before her father agreed to spend a lot of money to buy it for her as a gift for her coming of age in a few days.
But all these wealth and glory have been hers since the first day she married King Chen. How could she not be happy?
The maids and servants who served were very efficient and cleaned up the place quickly.
Li Jiaojiao looked at herself in the mirror, looking charming and gorgeous, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
