Chapter 609: Expedited Letter from the Capital
The moment Xu Wuyan picked her up, Lin Mo's sleepiness instantly disappeared.
It was not until she walked outside and felt the biting cold wind that she woke up.
"Old Xu, you... you put me down.
I, I can walk on my own."
Lin Mo's face felt a little hot.
It's over. If he hugs me like this, Xiaoyu and the others will definitely laugh at me tomorrow.
"I'll carry you this short distance." Xu Wuyan had no intention of letting go.
The corners of his mouth curled up, "Or is it that Madam is afraid that I will drop you?
Madam, you can rest assured. My arms are very strong and I promise I will never drop you.
Also, Madam, you haven't gained a few pounds compared to before, so you should eat more."
Lin Mo didn't want to talk anymore.
Is this what you call not heavy?
As expected, when people look at each other, their eyes will automatically filter out the bad and only leave the good.
He coughed lightly, "Then you must hold on tight and don't let go.
If it falls, there will be two deaths."
"Well, I'll never let go!"
…
After returning to the room, Xu Wuyan carefully put her on the bed, then lay down beside her, resting his chin on the top of her head while reaching out to hug her.
Lin Mo felt a little uncomfortable and was about to move.
Xu Wuyan, who was standing by, spoke tiredly, "Madam, please don't move. Let me hold you like this for a while."
Hearing the deep fatigue in his voice, Lin Mo did not move and let him hold her.
In this position, all she could hear was the sound of his heartbeat.
Can she sleep like this?
But Lin Mo still overestimated herself. Soon she yawned and fell asleep.
Seeing that there was no movement in his arms, Xu Wuyan opened his eyes, looked at her, and then closed his eyes again with satisfaction.
The couple slept until almost noon.
"Happy New Year!"
When Lin Mo opened her eyes, Xu Wuyan kissed her on the face.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Happy New Year!"
Then she shyly kissed him on the cheek.
Seeing that his eyes were still looking at her with burning passion, Lin Mo felt a little embarrassed. "Old Xu, we should get up."
If I get out that I slept until noon on New Year's Day, everyone will laugh at me.
"Wait, no rush!" Xu Wuyan's voice was a little hoarse.
The next second, before Lin Mo could react, she lost ownership of her lips.
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't mind that he hadn't washed up yet.
never mind!
He doesn't mind it, so why should I mind it?
Lin Mo put her arms around his neck and passionately engaged in the game of lips and tongue with him.
…
When they separated, both of them were breathing heavily.
Xu Wuyan hugged her with a satisfied look on his face, and rested his head on her neck, "Madam, I missed you so much."
Lin Mo's face flushed, "Ahem, Old Xu, we really should get up."
Then she motioned him to let go and went to fetch water for him to wash.
Xu Wuyan refused, "How can I let you do something like this?"
After helping her put on her clothes, Xu Wuyan went out to fetch water for washing.
When the two of them finished washing up and appeared in the hall, everyone was playing in the hall. There were three braziers placed around the hall, so the room was not too cold.
As soon as Xu Xianyu and the others saw the two people appear, they immediately rushed towards them.
"Brother, sister-in-law, happy new year, may you make a fortune, give me the red envelope!"
"Brother-in-law, sister, happy new year!"
"Brother, sister-in-law, congratulations on your prosperity."
…
Seeing their naughty appearance, Lin Mo and Xu Wuyan looked at each other, then took out red envelopes from their pockets and gave them to them.
After receiving the red envelopes, several people cheered.
Xu Xianyu simply pulled Lin Mo out of the hall and went straight to the backyard to prepare to play mahjong.
The place to play was naturally the game room, which had a big kang.
It’s so comfortable to sit on the big fire pit and play.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone chose to put down what they were doing and choose a decadent life of eating, drinking and having fun.
The same goes for Lin Mo and the others.
Because there is no need to visit relatives or visit each other.
So they all stayed in the game room and played.
Of course, there are many ways to play, but the most favorite thing to play with is the leaves.
In a blink of an eye, it was the eleventh day of the new year.
Lin Mo, Xu Xianyu and the other four women were still playing mahjong, while Xu Wuyan and his son Xu Ziyue were huddled aside reading and playing with things.
"Why am I the one who loses again?" Lin Mo looked at the cards in front of him with a headache and gritted his teeth:
"Honestly, did you guys cheat?"
If they didn't cheat, why did they always lose?
"Sister-in-law, who cheated?" Xu Xianyu said confidently:
"It's your bad luck with the cards, who can you blame?"
"Momo, you can't afford to lose, right?" Liu Ying said with a smile, "If you lose everything, I can lend you some money so you can continue playing."
As he said this, he proudly showed the small silver bean in front of him.
All the silver beans that Lin Mo lost went to Liu Ying.
"No need, I have plenty of silver." Lin Mo gritted his teeth, took out a bag of small silver beans from his pocket and put it aside, "Come again, I don't believe I will always lose."
Lin Mo was unwilling to give up and continued to ask them to continue.
"Sister-in-law, you have a bad gambling character. You won't admit your loss." Xu Xianyu said disdainfully:
"You need to look at the cards carefully before you play them, or you'll cheat again if you lose."
It was obvious that she only needed to play a small card, but she played a big card to bet. In the end, only a small card was left. If she didn't lose, who would?
Lin Mo said with a straight face, "I won't lose again."
How could I lose?
Is it just a small leaf card?
It's absolutely easy to handle.
Xu Wuyan, who was reading a book nearby, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene. His wife was really cute sometimes.
But recently his wife's memory has been a little poor and she loses things a lot.
Whatever you did in the last second, you forget in the next second.
As the saying goes, a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy, and this might be referring to his wife.
Xu Wuyan sat up straight and coughed lightly, "Madam, do you need help?"
"No need!" Lin Mo said disdainfully:
"Women are playing cards, why are you joining in the fun?
Go play with your kids and don't bother me!"
After saying this, he looked at Xu Xianyu and the others with a smug look on his face, "It's your turn."
Xu Xianyu looked at her sympathetically and shook his head to indicate no.
Wrong number again.
Forget it, her sister-in-law has a hard time too, so let her win.
Xu Wuyan raised his eyebrows and was disliked!
Just as he was about to speak, Xu Pinggui quietly pushed open the door and looked at him hesitantly.
The smile on Xu Wuyan's face faded. He glanced at Lin Mo, making sure that she didn't notice him, then stood up and walked outside.
"Young Master!" Xu Pinggui lowered his voice.
"Let's talk in the study." Xu Wuyan's voice was very calm.
He looked back and then walked forward with Xu Pinggui.
When he arrived at the study, he looked at Xu Pinggui and asked, "What's the matter?"
"An urgent letter from the capital." Xu Pinggui said with a serious face:
"It was an expedited letter sent through special channels."
If it is not urgent, it will not be delivered in this way. After all, once this channel is exposed, it will be completely finished.
Xu Wuyan frowned, reached out to take the letter, and then opened it.
Upon seeing this, his face changed drastically.
Bang!
Xu Wuyan punched the table, "Damn it, how dare he!"
Xu Pinggui grinned as he watched the table fall apart under his punch.
How much strength did the young master use to destroy a sturdy new table with just one punch?
It seems that we need to prepare a few more tables.
Otherwise, no matter whether it was the young master or the young lady, if they slapped her, the table would be broken.
"Master, what happened?" Xu Pinggui said with a serious face.
Then he took the letter that Xu Wuyan handed to him and started reading it.
The next second, his face became as ugly as Xu Wuyan's.
"How dare Prince Heng!" Xu Pinggui was furious:
"Is he crazy? He actually suggested to the Emperor that the young lady be recalled to the capital. He clearly has ill intentions. He is seeking revenge against the young master."
Xu Wuyan naturally knew that it was Prince Heng who was deliberately taking revenge on him.
Xu Pinggui took a deep breath and looked at Xu Wuyan seriously:
"Master, what should we do now?
If the Emperor really issues an imperial decree for the Young Madam to return to the capital, what should we do?"
Once the imperial edict comes down, if the young lady disobeys it, she will be in danger.
But if the young lady returns to the capital, she might be in danger.
So the only way now is to prevent the emperor from issuing the imperial edict, or to kill the team delivering the imperial edict before it is delivered, and pretend that they don't know about this matter.
Xu Pinggui's eyes were filled with coldness. "Master, I will take my men back. Once the dog emperor issues an imperial decree, I will immediately take my men and disguise them as bandits, kill them, and destroy the imperial decree."
The young lady must not enter the capital.
If the young lady leaves, the young master will definitely go crazy.
Moreover, the situation that Yuancheng and his men had worked so hard to open up would be ruined.
"Calm down." Xu Wuyan walked to the window, looked at the vast expanse of snow outside, and shook his head:
"The emperor will not easily believe what Prince Heng says. He is afraid of the Xu family."
So even if he had ambitions, he would not easily use the Xu family.
However, given Prince Heng's despicable behavior, he should have guessed the emperor's concerns and would probably ask the emperor to issue an imperial decree for their divorce.
A cold light flashed in Xu Wuyan's eyes.
King Heng!
Originally, he thought that it was almost done. After all, with Prince Heng, the troublemaker, around, the emperor would not target them. Now it seems that he was too naive.
If you want to fight, then fight.
Thinking of this, Xu Wuyan immediately turned around and prepared to write a letter.
But when he saw the broken desk, he curled his lips.
Then he coughed lightly and said, "Send someone to clean it up, don't let the young lady see it."
It seems I can’t slam the table so casually next time.
Xu Pinggui glanced at it expressionlessly and nodded, "Okay.
I will have a new table sent over right away, please wait a moment, young master."
After Xu Pinggui went down, Xu Wuyan walked back to the window again, but his face was terribly gloomy.
Why do the Li family members force themselves like this?
This time, he won't back down.
The ancestors of the Xu family have devoted themselves to their Li Dynasty for so many years, enough is enough!
It's time for the Li family to repay the debt they owe.
