Madam Lin’s heart was pounding. For the first time, she was frightened by the bastard whom she had always looked down upon.
This game was completely seen through, and she was completely defeated. The facts could not be changed, she had lost. But where did this bastard get the news? How could he know all this? The medicine in the sweet soup, that Ma San in the secret…who told him? He obviously didn’t show anything being strange before, so he probably didn’t know and walked into the trap step by step.
Was it because she was careless and her subordinates were negligent in their duties, or…she had always underestimated her opponent. This bastard was just pretending before?
Those eyes were cold and bright, and their sharp edge was revealed——
The other party didn’t even hide the murderous intention in his heart. The two of them, with her or without her, would die together.
Madam Lin’s hands and feet were numb, and she tried hard to straighten her neck and back, refusing to admit defeat.
If you have the ability, stand taller and stand firm. Don’t let me stomp you to death if the building collapses one day!
Next time, you won’t be so lucky!
Xie Tingyue ignored Madam Lin’s provocation and allowed her to be pulled out without even bothering to look at her.
His plan to return home and cause trouble had basically ended here, the important thing was still in the future.
Avoiding the others, Xie Tingyue gave Luo Momo a meaningful look.
Luo Momo nodded slightly.
Previously, considering the overall situation, she was indeed elderly and physically weak, and getting sick was really beyond her control. The battle in the back courtyard was as fierce as all the fights, falling behind step by step. Madam Lin was also a clever person, and as the Mistress, had a greatly advantageous position. She deliberately pushed aside to prevent her from coming back, and no one could do anything about it. But since she could come back and become the Main Manager, the situation in the back courtyard would not change at will .
Xie Tingyue believed in Luo Momo’s ability. With her presence here, he could rest assured about his Brother’s safety.
He would not let Madam Lin go.
This person had done a lot of evil and refused to repent. Just from the look in her eyes before leaving, he knew that as long as he didn’t kill her, she would do evil deeds when she got the chance.
People’s hearts were biased. He pretended to be wronged today and asked for an explanation. With Chu Mu by his side, Xie Liangbei would turn to him. But if he acted aggressively and had to kill Madam Lin, Xie Liangbei would have sympathized with her.
How could several years of companionship not breed feelings? Xie Liangbei has always been blind-eyed and blind-minded. He would never suddenly become enlightened when he presented evidence.

Thoughts were surging in his heart, and as he was talking to Xie Liangbei one after another, Xie Tingyue didn’t notice the momentary change in Luo Momo’s expression.

It was such a subtle change that one could hardly notice the emotion contained in it. For ordinary people, it would be a bit subtle for this situation to happen to Luo Momo, who has always been upright and restrained, and has rules written into her bones.

On the way back, Xie Tingyue thanked Chu Mu, “Thank you for your hard work today.”
This man’s physical condition was quite poor, and his lip color was still very pale and could not be recovered. If he were the other party, he might not be willing to do so much.
Chu Mu raised his eyes, warm as a spring lake, “So Madam was very satisfied with my performance just now?”
His eyelashes were thick and long, lining his eyes like a dark eyeliner. With every move and smile, normal words could evoke a little ambiguity for no reason, not to mention such words that could easily make people ‘think deeply’.
Xie Tingyue’s eyebrows jumped high, he pulled a blanket over his head and covered the other person’s face, wrapping it tightly, “Not satisfied! Please take good care of your body!”
Will you die if you stay calm?
Chu Mu raised his head to accept Xie Tingyue’s “rough” care, revealing his beautiful adam’s apple. He was wild and powerful, but also fragile and lonely, “If I die, will you remarry?”
Xie Tingyue: “No.”
Chu Mu’s eyes were startled, and there were dark tides rising and falling in his eyes.
“I am a man, getting married once is enough.” Xie Tingyue glared at Chu Mu with a fierce expression, then continued to say as if he changed his mind. “Next time when I will definitely marry, I must marry a beautiful woman with fair skin and good looks who can take care of people.”
Chu Mu smiled lowly, “So even if I die, I will still be your only husband.”
Seemed very contented.
Xie Tingyue continued to glare at him, “Talking too much in frustration will ruin your good fortune, so be careful. What is this everytime you speak it’s ‘Madam this, Madam that’, I have a name, but you don’t have ears or can’t read?”
“But you are my Wife.”
Chu Mu pursed his lips and turned his head to one side.
He even stopped smiling, looking a little stubborn.
When Xie Tingyue was about to speak again, the stubborn Chu Mu’s body also became stubborn. He suddenly coughed non-stop and his face flushed red.
Xie Tingyue was frightened. He patted him on the back and handed him water. It took a long time to get over it.
Okay he was a softie. He could not be aggressive, he could only coax the other aprty.
“Okay,” Xie Tingyue pinched his eyebrows and said forget it, “As long as you are happy.”
Chu Mu immediately smiled and called, “Madam.”
No matter how elegant your smile is, or how gentlemanly your temperament is, it can’t change the fact that you ‘take advantage of the situation’!
Xie Tingyue was also convinced.
“Huh?” Looking past the carriage window, Xie Tingyue saw a figure in a green shirt with a round collar and a circle of gray rat fur around his neck. He was walking in a hurry and looked very familiar. “Isn’t this Qi——Qi Wenhai!”
Chu Mu: “Want to see him?”
Xie Tingyue: “We were busy with marriage matters that day and it was not suitable for us to discuss matters. Now that we have time, it would be better to have a bit of a chat.”
No matter what the other person’s nature was, whether he could be a friend or not, one should still be cautious. It could only be known after meeting him and talking to him.
“Tuk-tuk-“ Chu Mu knocked his knuckles on the wall of the carriage twice, and the carriage stopped.
The meaning was very clear, just get off the carriage if you wanted to go.
Chu Mu’s voice was calm, “I can go back alone.”
Xie Tingyue noticed that Chu Mu seemed a little unhappy.
He was smiling as always, but the smile did not reach his eyes, he seemed a little… cold, and a little aggrieved?
Xie Tingyue raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Chu Mu intently.
Chu Mu’s eyebrows were crooked, his smile widened, and he said sincerely, “It’s alright.”
Xie Tingyue suspected that he had seen it wrong. How could it be so easy to understand a stranger after only knowing him for a few days? He shook his head, “No, I’d better take you home first.”
Chu Mu’s eyes showed gentleness, “Okay.”
Xie Tingyue: “I’ll look for him later.”
Chu Mu paused and glanced out the window inadvertently, “I see that Mr. Qi is walking in a hurry. I’m afraid he has something urgent to do. In order to avoid missing out, why don’t we have someone deliver a letter of appointment and see what he says? ”
Xie Tingyue nodded, “That makes sense.”
Have someone make arrangements immediately.
And this appointment required time.
If the other party really wanted to deal with this side, he would be more cautious and the appointment time would definitely not be today, as it was too hasty and showed no sincerity.
So after Xie Tingyue sent Chu Mu home that day, he didn’t come out again and took care of his husband all day long.

The handover of the back courtyard’s accounts continued.
In the kitchen, Huang Momo sat with her legs crossed by the charcoal stove, lazily drinking tea.
A young maid squatted next to her and asked, “Momo, is this really okay? The Masters don’t care?”
Huang Momo pinched the young maid’s delicate and smooth face with a sly smile, “Xiao Tizi, Momo will teach you a good trick. Being obedient is not a way out. We need to let people know that this house belongs not only to the Masters but also to the servants.”
A sick man who was about to die and a male wife, celebrating their marriage, do they really take themselves seriously?
Masters just want to screw you over!
Xie Tingyue knew nothing about what happened in secret.
The handover of accounts always took a bit longer. It was only the third day and he didn’t feel anything unusual. Even when he had free time, he didn’t rush, but instead went to his own fabric shop to find Liu Yuanshan .
No matter how the environment changed, one’s own strength was the cornerstone of everything. Since he escaped the first wave of danger and survived well, of course, the next step was to realize more value – everything started with making money!
Thank You for the new chapter ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)
Thank uuuu 💐💖💐💖
Thank you!
I don’t really understand what Luo momo’s “not right” look is supposed to mean 🤔
could be ‘suspicious look’ but at this time I couldn’t use that phrase, the translation was ‘the look she gave was wrong’.. just wanna say remember these small details…. also Luo Momo as mentioned was from the Palace… dunno/not sure if there’s a relation or something with this ‘look’..:P 😛 😛
I see, I see 👀🍿🍿
