Chapter 369 Each has a plan
Before Wu Chenyi and Baitang had finished drinking a cup of tea, Li Xiuming came back from outside.
"Master, they are here to make clothes for Madam." The servant who had been waiting in the hall replied.
Li Xiuming looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, and then stepped forward, "I didn't expect the tailor of 'Mountains, Kongyu' to be so young, he is really young and promising."
Gentle and gentle, this is Baitang's first impression of Li Xiuming.
But that's right, if Xiuming is not good-looking, how could Zhu Lanxiao fall in love with him and become the son-in-law of the Zhu family, and even recommend him to be the prefect of Ningcheng.
Maybe Baitang stared at him for a long time, Liu Xiuming turned his attention to Baitang, and he was amazed.
Li Xiuming is not jealous of men and women, Baitang is good-looking, pure temperament, people can't help caring for him, but in vain has a tyrannical heart, if he is tossed, I don't know what it will be like.
Bai Tang was uncomfortable being stared at by the other party's naked eyes, so he hid behind Wu Chenyi.
Wu Chenyi also moved a step, blocked Baitang, and held Baitang's hand with his hands behind his back.
"Li Taishou is busy, but he spends so much time tailoring new clothes for his wife, it's really affectionate." Wu Chenyi smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his eyes were deserted.
"Haha, this prefect is just this lady. If she is not good to her, who is he good to?" He still has more prestige and eyeliner, but he still doesn't dare to be presumptuous.
Just as they were talking, Zhu Lanxiao, Su Wen and the others came back.
"Husband, you are back." Zhu Lanxiao walked a little faster, and stepped forward to take off the cloak for Liu Xiuming, "Let the servants notify me when you are back."
Liu Xiuming held Zhu Lanxiao's hand backhand, and said with a smile, "Isn't it because I'm afraid I'll tire Madam."
"It's just such a small thing, how can you be tired, you, you are just too careful."
The two talked and laughed at Yan Yan, which deeply hurt Fang Xianglian's heart.
With this appearance and this voice, it is undoubtedly her husband-in-law Li Xiuming.
With Baitang's ability to stabilize her mind, Fang Xianglian didn't lose control, she just lowered her head, not daring to look again, afraid of looking at it a few more times. They are orphans and widowers, and they don't take any of them home.
Wu Chenyi smiled and watched the scene of harmony between the husband and wife, "The prefect and madam are deeply in love. Su Wen has already measured the size for madam, and after making clothes in a few days, they will be sent to the mansion."
Baitang hid well, Li Xiuming was slightly disappointed, but still smiled, "Well, I will trouble you."
When Wu Chenyi took Baitang away, Fang Xianglian was still standing still, and Su Wen pulled her. When she turned around, Fang Xianglian and Li Xiuming looked into each other's eyes. The latter was shocked, and quickly calmed down.
"Ah San, see off the distinguished guest." Li Xiuming said.
Fang Xianglian glanced at him, said nothing, and followed Su Wen away.
After Ah San sent Wu Chenyi and others out of the door, he followed Wu Chenyi into the study room. About half an hour later, he hurried out and left the eunuch's mansion.
Zhu Lanxiao noticed Li Xiuming's strangeness, and sent someone to follow Ah San out, while she knocked on the door and entered the study.
"Xiu Ming, what are you looking at?"
As the female voice sounded, Li Xiuming was startled, and hurriedly closed the scroll.
"It's nothing. My father-in-law, a disciple committed a crime and asked me to come here. I'm suffering from a headache."
Zhu Lanxiao glanced at the scroll, knowing that there was something in it, but did not expose him.
She lightly stroked the back of Li Xiuming's hand, "It's my father's student who didn't live up to expectations, which made Xiuming bother."
"Where is Madam, my father-in-law has been kind to me, and his students are supposed to be my brothers and sisters. I don't have to worry about my family's affairs." Li Xiuming changed the subject and took Zhu Lanxiao away from the case. table, stay away from the painting, chatted about some homework by the way.
Back in the courtyard, Fang Xianglian finally couldn't help crying, Wu Chenyi and Baitang looked at each other, it seemed that the prefect of Ningcheng was really Fang Xianglian's husband.
Fang Xianglian fell to her knees in front of Wu Chenyi and Baitang with a 'plop'. Baitang was startled and quickly helped her up.
"Master Bai, the little girl is grateful to the two young masters for saving her life, and today she brought the little girl into the prefect's mansion to find her husband." Fang Xianglian kowtowed to them and said tearfully, "Xianglian has already found your husband, but he But she has changed her mind, the little girl knows that this is embarrassing her benefactor, but she still wants to beg her benefactor to take the little girl with her when she goes to the prefect's mansion next time.
Fang Xianglian cried out, pitiful and humble, which moved everyone present.
Su Wen even turned her back and secretly wiped her tears.
Baitang hated iron for being weak, and said, "Why do you want to ask a heartless man to give you a divorce letter? He is the one who is sorry for you. If you divorce him, it will be almost the same. If you want me to say, you should sue him, stop your wife and remarry, and climb higher branches." Regardless of your wretched wife and young children, cut off a large amount of money from him, put him in prison, and let him taste the pain you have suffered."
Ruthless, so ruthless.
After hearing this, Xiao Duzi glanced at Wu Chenyi indiscriminately. How could His Royal Highness endure the cruelty of the Crown Princess.
According to Xiao Duzi's thinking, His Highness the Crown Prince will have side concubines, concubines, etc. in the future, but the Crown Princess seems to be unable to tolerate other people sharing His Highness the Crown Prince, without the support of the courtiers, this is not a small thing for His Highness the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne of God trouble.
Wu Chenyi didn't know what Xiao Duzi was thinking, but instead agreed with Baitang, "Tangtang is right, the heartless man should teach him a profound lesson."
The law of the Wu Dynasty does not object to men taking concubines, but they cannot stop their wives and marry again. If it doesn't make sense, offenders will have their property confiscated and exiled to the southern barbarians.
"This..." Fang Xianglian hesitated.
However, the more Baitang thought about it, the more angry he became, "Let's do it this way, don't worry, I will let Ayi help you, and I will definitely make the scumbag pay the price."
"The little girl just wants to go home and stay with the child to live a good life. She doesn't think about anything else." Fang Xianglian still has feelings for Li Xiuming. Although she has resentment towards him, she loves him more.
Anyway, in Baitang's view, Li Xiuming's behavior can be called very bad. If he doesn't like someone, he will say it clearly. He dragged his good girl and went outside to find other girls. He cheated at both ends. It couldn't be more scumbag .
Qiu'er, who has a God's perspective, took the lead and added, "Li Xiuming is not lying on both sides. Zhu Lanxiao also knows that he has a wife and children, so he just fell in love with Li Xiuming. It just so happens that Li Xiuming also has that kind of thought, let Li Xiuming marry Zhu's family. .”
People who know that other people have wives and children but still rob other people's husbands are equally hateful.
Baitang's affection for Zhu Lanxiao whom he saw today has dropped to a negative number. What kind of pot goes with what kind of cover, a scumbag man and a bad woman are a natural match.
The young man sat on the chair angrily, feeling furious. He picked up the teacup and poured it down with a gulp of cold water. In the next second, the teacup was snatched away by Wu Chenyi.
"The water is cold, I can't drink it, Tangtang wants to drink bitter medicine, huh?"
The gentle male voice came into Baitang's ears, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, he spit out a mouthful of cold water.
"I, cough, cough, I didn't drink, look..." Baitang coughed as he choked, and pointed to the wet ground.
Thinking of those fearful days dominated by traditional Chinese medicine, the little squirrel felt sad, and he didn't want to go back to those days.
Wu Chenyi lightly stroked Baitang's back, "Tangtang didn't drink, I know, I know..."
Xiao Duzi brought warm tea in a timely manner, Wu Chenyi wiped the corners of the boy's lips with a handkerchief, then kissed him, with concern in his eyes, "It's my fault, I scared Tangtang."
The young man shook his head, and said numbly, "It's none of Ayi's business."
Wu Chenyi brought warm tea, Baitang sipped it, his curly eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, trembling as he blinked, Wu Chenyi's heart seemed to tremble a few times, he suddenly felt thirsty too.
The two got so close that Baitang could still feel Wu Chenyi's breath.
His small face was slightly red, his eyes were evasive, but the corner of his mouth couldn't hide his smile.
"Cough cough..."
Xiao Duzi made an untimely sound, pulling the two immersed in love out of reality.
My master, Miss Fang Xianglian is still kneeling on the ground and weeping miserably, aren't you irritating others...
"Ahem." Wu Chenyi also sensed that this was not a good time, he straightened Tangtang's skirt, asked Su Wen to help Fang Xianglian up, and sent her back to her room to rest, so as to comfort her.
The first step of the plan has been successful, they can talk to Li Xiuming, the next step is to gain his trust, to collect the people who interacted with him, who participated in buying and selling officials, filling their pockets, and embezzling food for the poor. Among the few things, this is also Wu Chenyi's task for traveling in micro-service this time.
Doing business is a good excuse. Wu Chenyi is not satisfied with just making money for jewelry and clothes. From ancient times to the present, the only way to do business that has lasted for a long time is food.
Wu Chenyi sorted out the ledger and delivered it to the door in person after Xiuniang made the "Mountains and Empty Rain", but this time, he did not bring Baitang with him. Li Xiuming coveted his little squirrel, so it was impossible for him to send the sheep into the house. Tiger's mouth.
Fang Xianglian held the clothes and followed Wu Chenyi to the prefect's mansion, she followed the maid to Zhu Lanxiao's room, and waited for her to change.
A few days was enough for Zhu Lanxiao to find out Fang Xianglian's identity. The picture scroll that Li Xiuming kept in the study and didn't show it to her showed a woman and two children. That woman was Fang Xianglian in front of her.
Slut, why don't you just stay in the country and come to Ningcheng to grab her husband.
Zhu Lanxiao became more and more displeased with Fang Xianglian, who was bowing her head and brows. When the other party tied her a belt, she thought about it, and suddenly fell backward, and Fang Xianglian, who was holding the belt, fell forward.
With a "bang", Zhu Lanxiao originally wanted to flop, but was unconsciously pushed by Fang Xianglian, hitting the back of her head firmly.
"Madam, Madam..." The room was in chaos. The maids went to help people, but they didn't want to step on the skirts that fell to the ground. The soles of their feet slipped, and they fell to the ground one by one in the form of stacked arhats. Zhu Lanxiao was Made the bottom cushion.
