Chapter 160 Confession
Chen Mansion, Chen Shou once again did not return home at night.
After washing her feet, Li Lingyue looked unhappy. Even Zhihua, who had always liked to quarrel with her, dared not mess with her.
The young maids in the room were even more arrogant and did not dare to breathe. Li Lingyue stretched out her feet and asked Zhihua to dry them. She stepped on the wooden clogs and sat in front of the dressing table, and began to take off the hairpin from her head in front of the mirror.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Li Lingyue calculated with her fingers. She had not been in a room with her husband for five days. She couldn't help but sigh with some resentment.
Fortunately, these maids said some thoughtful words, so they would not be too lonely.
After the little maid blew the lights on the fan, Li Lingyue pursed her hair and said, "Everyone sleeps in the inner room."
The maids, including Zhihua, were all happy. The inner room was much warmer than the outer room and more comfortable.
After lying down, the master and servant were talking casually.
Fan'er suddenly said, "We don't have any children in our house, no wonder they are all angry. The second wife sneaked into some children's clothes today, maybe she wanted to give birth to a son for the master."
Li Lingyue felt uncomfortable and asked Hong'er to prescribe a few prescriptions. Zhihua interrupted and said, "The second wife is the one who has been with the master for the longest time. She listens to him on weekdays. Could it be for the outside house to prepare for the outside house?"
"Um?"
Li Lingyue suddenly thought of many things. Although she was still uncertain, the woman's intuition had begun to warn her.

Chen Shou yawned and returned from the summer palace. A gust of cold wind blew into his neck, making him shudder.
"It's getting colder and colder this day. I look even more outrageous than last year. I quickly asked the weaving workshop in the city to work, weave more cotton and wear some robes and clothes to Qingzhou and Hejian Front." Chen Shou ordered casually.
"The weaving workshop is not in sufficient staff, especially at this time, everyone is huddled at home and is preparing for the New Year. Even the poorest people are unwilling to work at this time. After all, they are all the heads of the family in the family." Zhang He said with a bitter face.
"Didn't I say that if the conditions are relaxed, will both men and women ask?"
"Sir, the last time you started recruiting female workers has caused criticism from a group of tyrant students. Many scholars gathered together to cause trouble and hindered recruitment."
Chen Shou said hatefully: "It's so feudal. With them here, Daqi will be prosperous and strong."
Qi returns to Qi, and the current atmosphere is like this, so it is not easy to change.
However, Chen Shou's eyes rolled and he thought to himself that Bianliang is the nest of these birds and literati. In fact, except for them, the other people are still very simple, and there is no such bird matter.
"When you go to a remote place and open a workshop, you will provide monthly money and benefits like in Bianliang. Anyway, it is for military use, so you don't have to consider the market or sell it locally."
"Can this work?" Zhang He felt that neither Bianliang could be, and it would be even more difficult for other places. After all, Bianliang has the largest population in Daqi.
Chen Shou laughed and said, "Why can't you do it? Just do what I said."
"Ahem..."
Just as Chen Shou was imagining his own clothes weaving workshop and making full use of the manpower on his territory, a few coughs came from his ears.
"Madam! What are you doing here early in the morning, hurry in and warm up."
Li Lingyue shook Chen Shou's hand away and asked in a bad tone: "Shoulang, where did you go last night?"
Zhang He quickly smiled and said, "Madam doesn't know anything, sir..."
Halfway through his words, Zhang He suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked up and saw his wife's eyes. He was so scared that he quickly shut up and said while walking away: "I remember that there are still some things, so I will take it back first."
"Haha, this Zhang He is really interesting, hahaha." Chen Shou laughed and saw that Li Lingyue's face was still bad, he scratched his head awkwardly.
"Madam heard me that I was at Huang Zhen's mansion last night and discussed the war in Hedong. The old guy insisted on keeping me for a drink. He was drunk for a while and was drunk. The weather was cold. They were afraid that I would get cold, so they helped me sleep in his room."
Li Lingyue stared at him expressionlessly, and Chen Shou laughed and said, "My wife is still beautiful when she smiles, especially the two dimples on her cheeks, which are so cute."
"Really?" Li Lingyue couldn't help it, and after saying that, he regretted it again, and shook his sleeves and entered the room.
Chen Shou followed up happily, picked up and said something nice, and the little bee seemed to be wandering around his wife.
The more Li Ling was, the more angry Li Ling was, but Chen Shou was like the nemesis of her destiny. As long as she was rushing her to say something, she would be dizzy and could not find Bei.
Zhihua couldn't stand it and coughed lightly from behind. Li Lingyue then put away his smile and asked with a stern face: "You are sneaking and sneaking, preparing some children's things. Where are you going to deliver?"
Chen Shou felt very hatred, and turned his back to Li Lingyue, and kept threatening to Zhihua, who was not afraid at all.
Chen Shou had no choice but to laugh: "In the summer palace, an important person was pregnant and had a bad reputation after it was spread. I could only give her a little bit. You know, there are a group of widows in the summer palace."
Li Lingyue narrowed her eyes and asked, "It's not...my sister, right?"
"Don't ask, it's not easy to talk about others without talking about the problem, haha..."
Li Lingyue had a little intuition, so he was reluctant to give up easily. He asked: "What are you not good at talking about with me? You can hear it from me."
Chen Shou's mouth tilted and signaled that there was an annoying person next to him. He saw Zhihua holding his little ears up and not daring to move, for fear that he would not hear it.
"Zhihua, you go out first."
"Miss!"
"go out!"
Zhihua walked out unwillingly. After walking out for a few steps, he tiptoed back and lay under the door for eavesdropping.
The movement inside suddenly became smaller. Zhihua was just feeling strange. Suddenly the door was knocked open. Zhihua fell to the ground with a butt, and he saw the master running away as if he was running away.
Zhihua rubbed his butt and went in and saw that the second lady, who had always been careless, had a string of tears on her face, her almond eyes widened and her willow eyebrows stood up.
"Miss..." Zhihua called out tentatively.
Suddenly, the second lady lay on the table and burst into tears.
"I'll fight him!" Zhihua felt uncomfortable. When did the second lady feel so uncomfortable? Her heart was like Liuli, whom she cherished the most, was smashed by someone. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to go out.
Li Lingyue grabbed her, lay on Zhihua's chest, and cried, "Why did she have to grab everything from me!"
"I have lost to her since I was a child and can't fight for her anything. Sooner or later, Shoulang will be taken away by her."
While the master and servant were crying with their heads in their arms, Chen Shou left and returned and walked in slowly.
