Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 618 You can’t eat your face as a meal, right?

Lu Baichuan didn't know what to say at all. Speaking of this young lady from Duke Mu's mansion, he remembered one thing.

On the night when he was trapped, he stopped a carriage on the road and forced the people in the car to cover him and leave.

I didn't think much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, isn't the other party the young lady from Duke Mu's mansion?

But he was wearing a mask at that time, so the other party probably didn't recognize him, so he didn't have a deep love for him at that time, right?
As for the night of the palace banquet, I had not seen her for a few hours, and I had already talked to her, so it was even less likely that she would fall in love with her.

After thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that his wife must care too much about him, so she would think she likes him when she sees a woman.

"No, I have nothing to do with her."

He explained very seriously, not wanting his wife to be jealous.

He Jiuniang held her chin with one hand and scooped porridge into her mouth with the other, her mind running rapidly.

"I don't think it's possible. I think that girl's face is not very good, but she's not a very vicious person, because she won't be willing to kill me just by looking at you. On the contrary, Mrs. Mu Guogong has some feelings for me. A lot of hostility.”

Only then did Lu Baichuan realize that his wife was not jealous, but was seriously thinking about the other party's motives.

Thinking about it like this, I felt a little embarrassed. Isn't it too pretentious?

Fortunately, the daughter-in-law was thinking about something and did not notice so many of his thoughts. She calmed down and said seriously: "We have been in the country for such a long time, and we have indeed offended many people, but we have never had any contact with Duke Mu's mansion. There is no such thing as offending. The people above Duke Mu's mansion are all pillars of the country, but after arriving at the current Duke Mu's place, there has been no breakthrough. It's just superficial, and the inside is pretty much the same. Logically speaking, we are where we are now. Waiting for the identity, they should come to cling to him instead of buying someone to kill someone. There might be other things involved in this."

"What you said makes sense, so what could it be?"

He Jiuniang sighed, why didn't her smart little mind work out right now?
Lu Baichuan almost blurted out that it must be related to her life experience, but he was afraid that he would guess wrong, so he did not say it directly.

"No matter what it is, we are going back to Jingzhou tomorrow. It won't be too late to check it out slowly when we come back after the new year. By then, any accounts will be settled clearly."

In fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to check out the Duke Mu's mansion. He also saw the way Mrs. Mu Guogong looked at his daughter-in-law that day. It was full of viciousness and fierceness. There must be something secretly involved in this.

Even if he knew that his current wife was not the original wife, but it was a matter of life experience, Lu Baichuan felt that it was necessary to be more cautious. Even if she was not the original wife, her closeness to Jiang Ruoya was innate, and it might be her previous one. The consciousness of the daughter-in-law staying behind.

Anyway, Lu Baichuan took this matter very seriously and wanted to send someone to check it out, which would be more practical than making random guesses here.

He Jiuniang was too lazy to think about it. She was really tired after working all night. She ate and went to bed. She had something to do tomorrow.

The next morning, the couple sat together and had breakfast. Lu Baichuan went hunting with the princes, while He Jiuniang went to prescribe the last medicine for Zhou Yanlan's sister-in-law.

In the evening, the princes will have a bonfire party, eat some barbecue, and let their princess get closer to He Jiuniang. The whole day is full of arrangements, and they don't have the time to think about anything else.

In the early morning court, the old emperor had already announced the change of crown prince. There were very few people in the court who opposed it. They even knew that this day was coming when the old emperor let King Chen take power, so there was no trouble, but King Mao was So sad.

He was the prince when he was born, and he stayed in this position for almost 30 years. Now that he was replaced, not many people stood by him, and he was in a bad mood.

But at this time, no one cared about his thoughts. Everyone was discussing what a good day should be for the coronation ceremony of the new prince.

The prince sighed and thought that he might as well forget it. Instead of competing with these people, he might as well go back and tell his princess that she must work hard to have a good relationship with He Jiuniang at night.

It's all like this now. The good relationship with He Jiuniang is not for the purpose of making a comeback or anything, but just to be friends with the Lu family.Yes, just be friends.

Look at Lao Liu, after becoming friends with the Lu family, what good things did he not get?The seasoning packets from Lu Black Duck and the few gifts given out in public, which one doesn't make people feel itchy?
What's more, after the New Year, Lu Baichuan will take office, and the Lu family's business will come to the capital. Naturally, they need to improve their relationship so that they can reap the benefits in the future.

After all, they had inquired that there was a limited supply of Lu Black Duck in Jingzhou every day, and the new products in Jiayuan Pavilion had to be snatched up. If there was no backdoor, or if the relationship with the Lu family was not good, then even if they had money, they would not be able to buy it. Arrived.

After all, everyone knows that He Jiu Niang is a woman who refuses to take either soft or hard advice, and she has the support of her father, but she must not be offended.

Yes, King Mao has given up on the idea of ​​making a comeback. He has been in power for so many years and is indeed very tired. He admits that he is the one who cannot be helped. He does not want to work hard anymore. It is not bad to live a simple life. Those It was really painful to be left in the royal study room by my father to correct memorials.

In this current situation, it's just a loss of face, no big deal.

You can't eat your face as a meal, right?

"His Royal Highness Prince Mao, the emperor is calling you!"

King Mao was so overwhelmed with thoughts that he didn't even notice what was happening around him. It was only after the people around him reminded him in a low voice that he came back to his senses.

He said hurriedly: "Father, please speak, I am listening."

The old emperor had a headache when he saw him distracted, and asked: "Why are you so dazed and thinking while I'm talking to you?"

"My son is thinking about what prey I can catch today to drink with."

He has no brain and just says whatever he thinks.

There was a controlled chuckle below. He was replaced as the prince, and before he even left the hall, he was already being laughed at.

The old emperor was not angry, and sighed softly: "Over the years, I have always asked you to do things you don't like. From now on, you can do whatever you like. I will never let you do things you don't like again. .”

These words made the prince feel a little sad. From childhood to adulthood, his father loved him the most. It was him who failed to live up to his expectations. He was not the material, but he was arrogant. Seeing the third child getting more powerful, he was still unconvinced. Use dirty tricks on the third child.

The result is still a complete defeat.

He originally thought that his father would look down on him and ridicule him like everyone else, but in the end he let himself do whatever he liked.

King Mao was so moved that the old emperor said to the prince again: "Lao San, you deserve the position of prince, but it was your brother who gave it to you. When you sit in this position, you should help him more." .”

"Yes, my son obeys the teachings of the emperor."

The prince curled up his lips, feeling very wonderful. Now he was benevolent, and he had no dissatisfaction at all.

The old emperor's words were apparently addressed to the prince, but in fact they were a warning to the courtiers who had just laughed at King Mao.

This made it clear to everyone that even if King Mao was replaced, not everyone could ridicule him.
