At three o'clock in the middle of the night, there was a hurried knock on the door of Cao Guogong's Li family.
Who the hell is tired of living! The concierge of the Li family got up and cursed, turned on the light, dared to knock on the door of the Duke's house like this, your claws will be chopped off! He cursed and kicked the other concierge awake, but you are still sleeping, copy
Guys get up!
Dang-dang-dang, the knocking on the door outside changed from slapping to banging on the door.
Hey, who's so fucking excited? The concierge was furious, pulled off his shoes, and opened a gap in the side door.
But the next second, I was stunned.
Outside, several veteran servants who had followed the owner on errands were carrying a man and waiting anxiously outside the door.
What's going on? The concierge quickly lowered the latch and opened the door and asked.
The master of the house is sick! The servants are so busy that they are in a hurry to come back.
Only then did the porter see clearly that the person being carried was not their family leader Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, but who else could it be.
Oh my God! The concierge exclaimed, and the veteran servants had already carried him into the house and walked directly to the backyard.
~~
Master! Master!
Deng Shi, the wife of Mr. Cao Guogong, was wrapped in clothes and looked flustered. She looked at Li Jinglong who was lying on the bed. He was fine. He was on an errand. Why was he still sick? She said with concern and asked, "Have you seen the doctor?"
Li Jinglong opened his eyes, groaning in pain, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "Don't yell, I'm pretending to be sick!"
Deng Shi Daqi, why are you pretending to be sick when everything is fine?
Even if I tell a bitch like you, you don’t understand! Li Jinglong said, starting from tomorrow, he will tell me that I am sick, and all foreigners will not see him! After saying that, he glared and said, why are you still standing there, hurry up and get me something.
Some hot towel, put it on your forehead.
Mrs. Deng pinched her waist, no, you are not sick, why are you pretending to be sick?
I have to pretend! Li Jinglong said.
What bad thing have you done again? Deng asked.
What does it mean to do something wrong again? When have I ever done anything wrong? Li Jinglong said.
Humph! Mrs. Deng rolled her eyes at him, "I haven't seen you being too nice in the past two years. It turns out that you were always thinking about meritorious service on the battlefield, and now you're in lawsuits all day long!"
You know nothing! Li Jinglong also rolled his eyes at his wife, just do as I say and tell the public that I am sick!
Although he was not sick on the surface, he was actually sick in his heart. He saw too many things during this trip. Too many things, and they were not things he should be able to see at all.
This moment is at the cusp of the storm. Now that things are done, you must not get close to the two men. If someone thinks of something, you may be in trouble.
The only solution now is to pretend to be sick first. First, there is no need to go to court, and second, there is no need to enter the palace.
Pretending to be sick has another meaning. When King Huai died, there must be an explanation. If the people in the capital are not safe, there will be people who are not long-sighted and careless. If they are not safe, they will ask him about Li Jinglong's head. Who made him?
Where are the close ministers of the East Palace?
As long as someone asks, no matter whether you say it or not, it will be wrong in the eyes of the old man.
Besides, now is the time when the two of you are feeling uncomfortable. What's going on with you running around so lively?
Pretend to be sick! Don't see anyone, don't say anything! Just stay at home, waiting for the palace's decree and the dust to settle.
Mrs. Deng sat on the bedside, leaning against her husband, looking into his eyes. You ask me, what on earth were you doing on this trip?
Li Jinglong turned his face away, don't ask, I won't tell you even if you ask! As he said, he sighed, there are some things that no one can say!
Mrs. Deng's face softened, and she slowly leaned against Li Jinglong's heart, and said softly, "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. I also know that you are in trouble, and I can't help you!" After saying that, he also sighed, "Although I am a womanly person,
, I also know that it is not easy to be a minister. Our family has everything and lacks nothing. Why should you be so determined to work hard!
In the end, I haven’t experienced the blessing yet, yet I have to be so cautious! Why bother!
Li Jinglong touched his wife's hair. In my position, if I don't advance, I will retreat. There are some things that I can't help myself! He said, sighing, it will be fine in a few years. As long as you don't act stupid, we still have dozens of people in our family.
Have a great year!
Mrs. Deng came closer, raised her face and said, you men are just not satisfied! As she said that, she suddenly rubbed her belly and said, a few days ago, you said you wanted to have another son, but my belly is
It doesn’t live up to expectations, there has been no movement!
Otherwise, while you are recuperating now, I will recruit some good-looking maids for you and send them to your room!
Li Jinglong snorted, "I'm already sick? How can I still do that?" He said with a smile and cursed, "Besides, we want a son to be a companion to the King of Wu. How can a bastard have such a great reputation?"
If you don’t read with me, let’s say that there are too few boys in our family! Mrs. Deng said, it’s my fault, I’ve been too strict with you all these years!
Li Jinglong suddenly fell silent, and then he gave a forced smile. Just be as little as possible, so you don't have to worry! Otherwise, if the family is big and the business is great, there will be fights if there are more sons! Then, he sighed again, if your brothers hold back their energy to harm you, it will be worse than anything else.
Outsiders are still evil!
At this point, he hugged his wife tightly and said with a smile, "However, your last words have gone to my heart. You have been too strict these years, and I have no place to show off my talents!"
Bah! I never saw you idle! Deng laughed and scolded.
Li Jinglong smiled and used his arms to turn his wife over.
Hey, didn't you say you were recuperating? Deng Shi said breathlessly.
I was pretending to be sick! Li Jinglong’s fingers started to act dishonestly.
Can't you do that?
You won’t tell the outside world! Li Jinglong was extremely anxious.
