Chapter 131
“Young Master Huo? I have no connection with Young Master Huo. Uncle Zhou, please help me reject this invitation,” Li Zhiwei said, frowning.
After all, what kind of thing is it for someone who is already engaged to go and meet a man from another family?
Besides, after what happened with Yao Shuheng, she was even less willing to go out.
Who knows, will there be another madman like 'Yao Shuheng'?
“But the messenger said that Young Master Huo has returned from the capital and that the master has a message for you,” Steward Zhou quickly said.
"Father?" Li Zhiwei frowned. If Li Tianyou knew that Huo Yunxuan had returned to Li'an County, did he really ask him to pass on a message to her?
"Alright, you can agree for me first." Li Zhiwei thought to herself that she would bring Qinghua and Qingyue with her when the time came.
If anything happens, they will come back immediately.
"Mother, what did you agree to?" Xu Qingshi asked Li Zhiwei, who happened to be bored.
"Well, I have something to take care of. I need to go out for dinner. You can have dinner with your grandmother." Li Zhiwei didn't intend to explain to Xu Qingshi where she was going.
"No, you go out, I'm coming with you, I want to protect you." How could Xu Qingshi want Li Zhiwei to go out alone?
Beijing
Li Tianyou rested for three whole days before going to the Ministry of Revenue to handle his business.
Li Tianyou looked rather unwell, while Zhou Tong was in a worse state, barely able to get out of bed.
Li Tianyou even wondered if he had mistreated him in the past, otherwise, how could he have become so weak after just one night of drinking?
Originally, he was a little embarrassed, after all, it was the busiest time for the Ministry of Revenue, but he had been resting at home for three days.
However, when he saw Xiao Guozhi, who looked even more haggard than himself, he was completely stunned.
"Lord Xiao... what's wrong with you?" Li Tianyou asked in a panic.
"N-nothing!" Xiao Guozhi looked away uncomfortably, afraid that Li Tianyou would notice something amiss.
Ever since he brought Lin Qiao'er back to the Xiao family, his usually gentle wife has been arguing with Lin Qiao'er endlessly.
Every time he tried to persuade them, he got no good response.
They even compared their daily habits, seeing whose place they stayed at the longest.
They even compare how long he lasts in bed with whom!
Neither of them would admit defeat, otherwise they would scratch him.
He didn't understand why he was always the one who got hurt.
Everything was fine before.
He wanted to send Lin away, but Lin cried and wailed, saying that she was already his woman and where was he going to send her?
Minister Liu would never want her again!
That's because Lin Qiao'er discovered that instead of fighting with a group of women for a man in the Liu family, it was quite fun to scheme against Xiao Guozhi with the madam in the Xiao family.
"Sister, are you sure it's your turn tonight?" Lin Qiao'er asked while spitting out sunflower seeds.
“Of course, but today Chef Haha will have to give my husband a good nourishing meal.” Madam Chang raised an eyebrow. After all, in the past, she and that fool Xiao Guozhi had been putting on a show of mutual respect, which was quite boring.
Now, she has discovered that changing her approach makes life much more enjoyable.
"Sister, you have to arrange for me to have a contraceptive soup!" Thinking of this, Lin Qiao looked at Chang Shi with some resentment. Every time, she had to prepare it, which cost a lot of money.
"If you have the ability to get pregnant before me, that's your good fortune. Why should I avoid it? I'm not the kind of person who can't tolerate illegitimate children." Madam Chang didn't take it to heart.
"Don't give me that, I don't want to have a baby!" Lin Qiao'er said, though she didn't mean it. After all, she had never been able to conceive in the Liu family. Who wouldn't want to have a child? But none of the wives and concubines in the Liu family had children, so she took a risk and came up with a stupid idea.
