Chapter 116 I don’t like you or him

No matter how smart Lu Huai was, he was still a child. After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you know that?"

"Who do you think is a fool?"

Wang Muyi snorted and laughed, and said lightly, "Your father is not a popular person, are you afraid that Nianxi will have improper thoughts? You have to test him."

"You've been on guard against your stepmother and her demons all day long."

When it comes to his father, Lu Xiaoqi can't stand it. He puts his hands on his hips and glares:

"Why isn't my father popular? Don't you know how many women like him? They can line up from the palace to the moat! He is handsome, dignified, and comes from a good family. How could Nian Xi look down on my father!"

"Everyone in Beijing who has seen my father loves him!"

Wang Muyi was so angry that he almost laughed, "Pu Xin really doesn't care about age, he only cares about gender."

"Your father is old, in poor health, and has to take care of you, a burden," she said, counting the lines on her fingers one by one, her brows furrowed more and more as she spoke, "What could Nianxi like about your father?"

Lu Xiaoqi was completely furious.

But he was a good man after all, and it was not easy for him to fight with a woman. He could only get angry and ask loudly, "My father is not even thirty years old, how can he be old?"

Wang Muyi was calm and composed, not having the conscious tendency to bully a child at all, and said slowly, "At least she is ten years older than Nianxi. That's not considered old?!"

"What's wrong with him? My father can shoot arrows through a hundred steps!"

"You said it yourself ~ Typhoid fever, cough ~ Who is the good person who is sick? Look at Pei Langjun outside. It's the coldest time of winter, but he's wearing very thin clothes, and he's still healthy."

"I'm not a burden!"

"You're not yet~"

Wang Muyi was shocked and said, "Whose child is as difficult as you? Your father married a concubine, and someone will take care of her daily life. The Duke of Fuguo's mansion also has a mistress. What a good thing. But you have to jump up and down, disturbing everyone's peace."

It was the first time that Lu Huai was speechless after being confronted, and his eyes turned red with anger.

Wang Muyi refused to give in to him and continued to poke at his heart and insert a tube into his lungs——

"At least the unrest is only in your house, which is fine, but you have to come to my shop and act weird. Why? Knowing that the Duke of Fu is ill, who can rush to show his courtesy to him?"

"Open your eyes and look outside, we are busy~"

Lu Huai was completely defeated in a verbal battle with Wang Muyi, and there was no chance of recovery.

He left the window in a huff, sat down at the table nearby, folded his arms and sulked.

Wang Muyi, after scolding the kid, feels refreshed~

He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.

She had disliked this boy for a long time. He had many tricks in his mind, like lotus roots, and it was hard to hide them, for fear that others would not see through them.

What is the meaning of this?

Why don't I see him swearing brotherhood with me?

After all, he is too narcissistic and thinks that all women in the world have improper thoughts about his father.

Is their Fuguogong Mansion some kind of Penglai Fairy Island? Or is it his Lu Wensheng Immortal Marrow Holy Body, which can make you immortal if you just touch it?

It's because Nianxi has a good temper that she just follows Lu Xiaoqi.

Men just deserve a beating. They are all the same size. After a few more beatings, they will find their position.

Lu Huai's face turned into a puffer fish due to anger.

But no matter how angry he was, no one paid any attention to him.

Needless to say, Wang Muyi was a bad woman. It was a good thing that she didn't scold him. There was no way she could coax him.

The gentle Nianxi hasn't come back yet...

In fact, Lu Huai did not intend to test Nian Xi, but there was a reason for it.

A few days ago, the Empress's aunt spoke up for "Fushengbanhe", which helped the shop's business improve. Nianxi and the others all thought it was his idea.

But Lu Huai had never thought of this method.

Therefore, the only one who could convince Aunt Queen was my father...

Speaking of which, my father has met Nianxi several times.

Lu Huai was worried about this for several days. He didn't want to lose his sister Nian Xi.

Only then did I come up with a solution that would not cause any discord.

He often heard the lady scolding his second aunt, so he did it on purpose. If it was another young lady, he would have teased her without hesitation.

Little did she know that even this would earn her a scolding from Wang Muyi.

Not only did he get criticized, but even his father was implicated and became worthless.

Thinking of this, Lu Haohan's vision gradually blurred...

This is too much!

Pei Jian was watering the flowers in the corridor just a moment ago. He constantly used reason to restrain his emotions and told himself that impulsive people should be eliminated first.

The next moment he threw away the water bottle and strode out of the house.

Even a saint cannot bear it.

That's his wife.

How can we tolerate others coveting us!

But when he really stood in front of Nianxi, he didn't dare to be presumptuous at all, and carefully used the excuse he had prepared along the way, "Is your father... uncle okay? Was he frightened by what happened yesterday?"

Nian Xi looked at him leisurely and asked, "What do you think?"

He was clearly there, and his father even accompanied him to the hospital.

Nian Xi understood Pei Jian's little tricks too well. He put them on the table on purpose to let her see through them.

So I asked:

"How's the wound on your arm?"

“My right arm still feels a little uncomfortable when watering the flowers.”

Pei Jian was very satisfied to receive a greeting from Nian Xi. Fearing that it was too late, he added, "But I'm much better now."

Nian Xi nodded, her expression gentle, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I have already thought of a way to deal with the scoundrel who bullied my uncle in his previous life. His father, Zhang Hongzhe, has been the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for many years. He has committed many acts of corruption and abuse of power. The Censorate supervises all officials. I will collect evidence immediately. In a few days, I will be able to bring the father and son to justice..."

Pei Jian calmly told her about his recent situation. Nian Xi listened quietly and gradually began to smile.

The Pei Jian in front of her was becoming more and more like the Pei Xiang in her memory, always confident, steady and experienced in everything he did.

What's different is her change of mood.

She no longer complained or felt sorry for herself, and her heart was always filled with contentment and self-satisfaction.

She will never again let all her emotions get involved and become unable to control herself because of a person, an event or even a sentence.

"What are you...laughing at?"

Pei Jian was dazzled by the bright smile and couldn't speak clearly. Although he didn't quite understand why Nian Xi was smiling, he had his own opinion at the corner of his mouth and was happy with her.

His originally cold and aloof temperament was blended with this smile that came from the heart, and became gentle and amiable.

Nian Xi felt that maybe she and Pei Jian would really become old friends who were familiar with each other one day.

Those passionate loves and hates cannot be traced back, and they can always find a harmonious way to get along with each other.

"Nothing," Nian Xi smiled and shook her head, "I still want to thank you for my father's matter."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"What?"

Pei Jian lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the pair of charming almond eyes, and said carefully, "About Zhou Yanli. How he treats you... I don't believe you can't see it."

Nian Xi immediately stopped smiling and said unhappily, "What does this have to do with you?"

Pei Jian had expected that she would not like him asking these questions, so he had omitted the part about the previous life and only asked tentatively, "Do you have..."

Nian Xi looked straight at him, "Actually, this is your purpose today, right?"

Pei Jian paused for a moment, but didn't force it, "If you don't want to talk, forget it."

Then he pulled Wen Qingheng out to take the blame, "It was your brother who came to tell me about you and him."

“I don’t like it.”

"Um?"

Pei Jian didn't react for a moment, and after a moment's silence, he finally understood what she meant. But before he could be happy, he heard Nianxi continue:

"I don't like you or him."

The tone is calm, but the words are murderous and heartbreaking.
