A faint ray of morning light penetrated through the gaps between doors and windows.

Luo Shen didn't sleep well last night. He woke up after being in a daze.

As soon as she woke up, before she opened her eyes, the scenes from last night immediately appeared in her mind.

Her eyes opened.

Li Mu lay on her side. He gently hugged her waist with his arm and brought her into his arms.

In the hazy morning light, he was still still awake. His chin was pressed against her forehead. The warm breath fell gently on her forehead with his breath.

I was silent in my ears, and I couldn't hear any sound.

The storm of last night has disappeared without a trace.

Luo Shen slowly closed his eyes, which were still a little sour and swollen, and continued to curl up quietly beside him.

But my mood became chaotic again.

Last night, he kept holding her like this and comforting her until she was so tired that she fell asleep in his arms.

She knew that he didn't treat her like that on purpose. She liked this man named Li Mu so much. So, even though he was so scary that he made her cry in panic and scared, she soon forgave her.

Things seem to have finally passed.

She knew that he would never do anything like that to her again. This was a kind of intuition. She believed in this man.

They will continue to spoil her like before. She can continue to be his wife carefree. She will act coquettishly with him when she is happy, and annoy him when she is unhappy.

And he will always be so kind, except last night.

But there was clearly another voice in my heart, quietly reminding the God of Luo.

After experiencing the ups and downs of last night, her heart could no longer truly settle down like before.

Her husband Li Mu originally made her feel extremely safe whenever she remembered her.

But now, she could no longer find the kind of peace of mind that was around him.

Her intuition was quietly reminding her that Li Mu must have something to hide from her.

Just because he saw the manuscripts that recorded her old relationship with the 6 Cambodia, or when she came back this time, she accidentally mentioned 6 more words in front of him, and he became so abnormal that she really couldn't believe it.

But he just didn't tell her.

She felt extremely powerless.

A night of storms destroyed the flowers and trees all over the ground.

Outside, the early maid and maid saw the fallen flowers and branches in front of her, and the banana leaves were lying on the ground. After complaining in a low voice about the ghost weather last night, she began to clean up the yard.

The broom swept through the wet corridor and made a slight sound of whispering.

Li Mu woke up, but did not open his eyes immediately. He just slowly tightened his arms and hugged the warm and soft body in his arms tighter.

After a while, he felt a small hand gently stroked his cheeks that were messy and stubble all night. He opened his eyes and saw her looking at him with her eyes that were still swollen with last night's crying.

He stared at her, slowly grabbed the little hand she had stopped on his cheek, sent it to his lips, and kissed her finger.

"Are you still sleepy? Sleep for a while and I'll be with you."

He leaned over and gently rubbed his chin against her face.

Luo Shen nodded softly, and slowly closed his eyes in his arms.

...

If there is no emergency in the court, officials will take a break once every five days. Today, they will take a break again.

In the past, even if you have a rest, Gao Qiao would have gone to Taicheng Yamen. Today, he stayed at home for the first time with Xiao Yongjia.

When he was middle-aged, he not only reconciled with his wife, but now he is still going to be a father again. With the reputation of being afraid of others for many years, he finally turned over. Gao Qiao couldn't hide his complacent heart, and he was happy. When asked about it, he wanted to show off. So within two days, everyone in the office of the Manchu government found out and congratulated him.

The palace also learned that the eldest princess was pregnant. Although Empress Gao had not left the palace, she sent the palace envoy to come with a gift and expressed her joy after hearing the good news, and asked her aunt to give birth to a baby.

Gao Qiao was in a good mood this morning. He stood up and watched Xiao Yongjia comb his hair in the room, and rushed to draw her eyebrows. After drawing, Xiao Yongjia looked at the mirror and repeatedly said disgusting.

Gao Qiao claimed to be a master of painting. How could she give up the eyebrows she drew? She must draw them again. One of them disliked her and the other made her patient and laughed in a low voice, just like a young couple. After a while, she heard the message from her subordinates and said that her daughter and son-in-law had come. Then she gave up and left them to leave for breakfast.

After the meal, Luo Shen accompanied his mother back to the room to rest. Li Mu spoke and asked Gao Qiao to speak with him.

Gao Qiao knew that he must have something to do, so he took him to the study room. He smiled and said, "Jingchen, I drank too much that night. If you don't want to learn, I will not force you. But if you want to learn, I have a few good posts here. I know you are busy, but you might as well take it and wait for you to have time to read it. Every day I will accumulate one or two words, so it is said that if you walk a thousand miles apart, the stream becomes a sea, and over time, I will definitely make some progress..."

While talking, he went to the bookshelf to flip out the post and took it over.

Li Mu took it respectfully and thanked his father-in-law with a smile.

Gao Qiao asked him to take his seat and then asked what was going on.

Li Mu did not sit down, but bowed to Gao Qiao and knelt down with a solemn expression.

Gao Qiao hurriedly asked him to get up and said in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Li Mu still knelt down and said, "To be honest, I seriously injured Liu Huanzhi last night. Today, the censor should tell me. Liu Guang is afraid that he will take the opportunity to find his father-in-law. I know that it will disturb my father-in-law's purity, so please take more responsibility."

The day after Li Mu returned, he encountered the provocation of Liu Huanzhi on the way. Gao Qiao had learned about this from Gao Qi. Although he was dissatisfied with the son of the 6 family, it was fine to think that the matter had passed, but he did not expect that there would be such a follow-up. He was shocked: "Why did you hurt the son of the 6 family? What happened last night?"

Li Mu said: "Last night, my son-in-law and his old brothers went to Qinhuai for drinking. He met Liu Huanzhi again. He was disagreeable. I missed the situation and beat him seriously injured."

Gao Qiao asked about his injury. He heard that 6 Huanzhi was broken by the hilt of the sword and his ribs were broken. At that time, he fainted. He said "ah" and got up from the seat, walked back and forth a few steps, stopped, and frowned at Li Mu.

"Jingchen, it's fine if you go to such places with others, but human favors are inevitable. But I think you have always been calm. The sons of the six families are rude, so it's okay for you to teach a lesson. Things must be done in moderation. How can you do so seriously? If you are beaten to death, how can the lawsuit for life be terminated?"

His tone was reprimanded.

Li Mukou: "I was indeed a loser at that time. I was responsible for the crime and my son-in-law was responsible for it. It was inevitable that he would implicate his father-in-law, so I beg him to forgive me."

Gao Qiao was silent for a moment, shook his head, and sighed: "Forget it! The son of the 6th family is really rude. His character and character are different from his brother. He has been beaten. You are my son-in-law, don't I care? Get up!"

Li Mu then stood up.

"You are still young, and you will inevitably be full of energy and your hands are heavy. There are also some mistakes. Fortunately, no one died this time. Remember, don't be so reckless in the future!"

Li Mu agreed respectfully.

Gao Qiao asked him to go first. After thinking about it, he returned to his seat and planned to write to Liu Guang first. After writing the letter, he felt that it was inappropriate.

No matter who is more reasonable, after all, it was my son-in-law who beat the person so seriously injured. He was still unconscious at this moment and just sent a letter, which seemed to be insincere enough.

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Qiao decided to go to see Liu Guang himself.

Although there was little hope, Gao Qiao decided to go first to see if things could be done. So he wrote another post of worship, which was put into his sleeves and was halfway through the journey. His family hurriedly chased him and said that Li Mu had just been rumored to the Censorate. Only then did he realize that the Chief Censor Ding Song had already received a lawsuit from Liu Guang, accusing Li Mu of committing an offense last night, seriously injured Liu Huanzhi, and demanded severe punishment to correct the rules.

"Even Your Majesty was alarmed. Your Majesty sent King Xin'an Daicha. Someone came over there and told him that Li Langjun would go to convict him."

Gao Qiao frowned, turned around immediately, and hurried to Taicheng.

...

Luo Shen accompanied her mother back to the house and sat next to her. She heard her say that the weather was getting hotter and she planned to go to Bailuzhou to escape the heat. She responded, but she thought about what happened last night in her heart and gradually became ecstatic. Suddenly, she heard her mother call herself again, and then she came back to her senses. Seeing her looking over, she looked concerned and responded quickly.

Xiao Yongjia touched his daughter's forehead, and there was nothing unusual.

"Do you have something to worry about? I saw that your eyelids were swollen this morning and didn't sleep well last night? I just talked to you, and you didn't know where you wanted to go!"

How dare the God of Luo tell his mother to know about last night? Even after getting up this morning, he repeatedly reminded the servants and maids in front of him not to mention half of the story of Li Mu's abnormal late return last night in front of A Ju or his mother.

At this moment, I heard her ask, and hurriedly denied it. Seeing that my mother looked at her in disbelief, she remembered what she said she wanted to move to the island to escape the summer heat with her. Aye also agreed with her. He hesitated and whispered: "My grandma, I really want to be with you again, but I'm afraid it won't work anymore. When the husband's work is over, I will visit the A family with him, and I will probably return to Yicheng..."

After a few days of returning, he was about to leave again. Luo Shen was indeed reluctant to part with his parents. But thinking about the tone when Li Mu said that he didn't like the words of the imperial city last night, his heart softened infinitely.

After she finished speaking, she looked at her mother with a guilty look on her face.

Xiao Yongjia was stunned, thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay. Things in Yicheng Chang'an are important. If you don't stay there for a long time, it's not good. Just go there. Don't worry about my grandmother. My grandmother has Aye."

Luo Shen nodded, leaned over, and gently touched his mother's lower abdomen.

"My grandma, when you are born, remember to send me a message."

Xiao Yongjia smiled and hugged his daughter in his arms: "I know. How could my mother forget you?"

Luo Shenyi was by her mother's side and couldn't help but remember what happened last night. Finally, she couldn't help asking: "My grandma, you taught me before that I wanted me to remember that I am now Li Mu's wife. I also want to do it well..."

She hesitated for a while, sat upright and looked at her mother.

"But if he has something in his heart, he doesn't tell me. What should I do?"

Xiao Yongjia glanced at his daughter. "Is there anything he has to hide from you?"

"How could it be?" Luo Shen shook his head immediately.

"I just thought about it and asked casually. I thought I would leave in a few days. If I met him like this in a day, if I asked him earlier, I would have a clear idea."

She pretended to be relaxed and smiled at her mother after she said that.

Xiao Yongjia stopped asking more, just said, "You really stopped me..."

She pondered for a moment, suddenly laughed and shook her head.

"Others don't know that you are my daughter, and you know the most. You Aye and I have been talking to me for more than 20 years. I miss myself, isn't that the same? It's because of this that you Aye and I have been bumping into each other and never got along well. I used to be wronged and suffered a lot of grievances. Now, thinking about it, for me, I am too strong. I suppressed you Aye at the beginning, so that he could not avoid me. But you are different from Ah Niang..."

Xiao Yongjia looked at his daughter.

"It's also my fault. I have raised you too delicately since I was a child, and you are naturally weak. My grandmother thinks, if your husband, if he always regards you as someone who needs him to protect him, how could he tell you easily if he has any worries? The heavier the worries, the less you will be told."
