Li Mu soon returned home, wearing an official robe.

In terms of official rank, he is not as good as Chen Guojiu and is far superior to Chen Tingzhang, but every time he sees Chen Tingzhang, he still calls himself a subordinate.

When we met in the hall, Li Mu smiled and greeted the noble prince sitting in the main seat: "The prince came from afar, but the subordinates failed to greet him in person, so he was disrespectful."

He smiled like a spring breeze, and Chen Tingzhang looked arrogant. He was born to be flattered by officials of all sizes in the capital. Chen Tingzhang looked down on Li Mu the most, who relied on his wife to reach the top, although Li Mu was already a fourth-rank military officer long before marrying his sister. If Li Mu dared to fight against him, Chen Tingzhang might be three points above Li Mu.

"I want to see Jiaojiao." Chen Tingzhang said directly without any silence.

Li Mu immediately turned around and ordered Yan to manage the matter: "Go and invite your wife."

Chen Jiao was ready to see Chen Tingzhang. All she wanted was Li Mu to be present, in case Chen Tingzhang was impulsive.

Leading the most steadiest maid Ruyi, Chen Jiao appeared in front of the hall.

When Li Mu came, Chen Tingzhang couldn't sit still. Now, as soon as Chen Jiao showed up, Chen Tingzhang stood up, staring at his sister with black eyes. However, Li Mu sat in the main seat on the other side with a smile, silently looking at the brother and sister.

Chen Jiao stepped into the door nervously and greeted the two men one after another: "Husband, brother."

Li Mu nodded slightly, and Chen Tingzhang walked to Chen Jiao excitedly, trying to grab her hand: "Jiaojiao still recognizes me?"

Before, Chen Tingzhang was in the army, and Chen Guojiu concealed the news that his daughter had lost her memory, but Chen Tingzhang and his sister had been in exchange for letters. This time, the younger sister's letter was not delayed. Chen Tingzhang guessed something was wrong. When he sent someone to inquire, he heard that his sister had fallen into the water and had lost her memory and forgot everything. Chen Tingzhang immediately came to Pingcheng regardless of his father's strict orders.

Chen Jiao avoided his hand, took two steps back with a white face, and lowered her head and said, "I don't remember, but the servants reported that the prince is here, I guess."

After saying that, Chen Jiao raised her head and looked at Chen Tingzhang with the eyes of a stranger. In fact, in the memory given by the Bodhisattva, Chen Jiao had already seen Chen Tingzhang's appearance, but when she was standing face to face, Chen Jiao truly felt Chen Tingzhang's excellence and domineeringness. Both of them were noble young masters, Lu Yu was cold and arrogant but not ostentatious, and Chen Tingzhang's whole body exuded a "crazy" aura, and he looked down on everything.

After watching it, Chen Jiao tried to walk to Li Mu.

Chen Tingzhang was stimulated by his sister's strange eyes and grabbed Chen Jiao's wrist.

Chen Jiao was shocked and looked at Li Mu with help while struggling, but Chen Tingzhang spoke first before her and said to Li Mu without expression: "I will reminisce about my sister, please avoid it first."

Li Mu stood up and left the seat.

Chen Jiao looked at him in disbelief.

Li Mu looked back at her comfortably, his voice as gentle as his eyes: "The prince is just concerned about his wife's condition, and the wife doesn't have to be afraid."

Chen Tingzhang heard his call to his sister's wife and pursed his thin lips tightly.

"Don't leave." Chen Jiao grabbed Li Mu's sleeve, and tears were about to come out. Chen Tingzhang dared to take action in front of Li Mu. Li Mu was really gone, and Chen Jiao didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"It's outside for your husband." Li Mu said softly, but his hand pushed away Chen Jiao's little hand and then went out without looking back.

Chen Jiao kept looking at his back, her vision had already blurred.

"Go down." Chen Tingzhang said to Ruyi, who was standing next to him with his head down.

Ruyi knelt down and kowtowed, "I served my wife on the order of my uncle, and only listened to the orders of the wife."

Chen Jiao finally saw a glimmer of hope, and Chen Tingzhang always had to worry about the maid.

Chen Tingzhang just sneered, holding Chen Jiao in one hand, pulling out the sword from his waist with the other hand, pointing the tip of the sword straight to Ruyi's throat: "Get out."

Ruyi's whole body shook, but she still lowered her head and knelt there.

Chen Tingzhang used force on his hand, and a blood mark was drawn on Ruyi's neck.

Ruyi still remains unmoved.

Chen Tingzhang smiled, bloodthirsty cruelty surged in his eyes. Seeing that he really wanted a life of good luck, Chen Jiao shouted first: "Go down!"

Even Li Mu didn't want to protect her, so why would she have to implicate a loyal servant in vain?

"Madam?" Ruyi raised her head, with tears on her face.

Chen Jiao smiled bitterly and shook her head, signaling her not to say much.

Ruyi bit her lip, but she retreated outside the hall.

"What are you going to say to me? Do I don't remember you? You even want to kill me?" Everyone left, and Chen Jiao didn't waste any effort to struggle. Looking at Chen Tingzhang's clothes, she asked sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tingzhang threw the long sword to the ground with a "clang", put one hand around Chen Jiao's waist, and raised her face with the other. Chen Jiao was forced to raise her head, stubbornly preventing tears from falling. Chen Tingzhang looked into her eyes, looked at her cold and resistant face, and his heart was tampered with a knife: "Jiaojiao, I am your eldest brother, how could you forget me?"

Since she was one year old, he had been by her side. She sat in a wooden car, pointing at the butterflies among the flowers and screaming, and he went to help her catch the butterflies. At the age of three, she learned to be stinky and beautiful, and liked all kinds of pearls and jade jewelry. Chen Tingzhang bought her every day to make her happy. At the age of seven, she lost her first tooth and kept crying in fear. Chen Tingzhang carried her to the roof and hid her teeth with her, saying that in this way, her newly grown teeth would not fall again...

After spending sixteen years together day and night, Chen Tingzhang didn't believe that his sister would forget him.

"Are Jiaojiao angry with me? I blame me for not coming to see you right away?" Chen Tingzhang murmured himself: "My father concealed the news, I don't know, otherwise I would have come long ago. Jiaojiao, don't be angry, okay?"

He was affectionate, but Chen Jiao was trembling all over. Chen Tingzhang's hand caressing her face was like a snake to her.

She is not the original body, and she cannot accept the brother and sister like this. Chen Jiao has a brother in the Duke's mansion. The brother treats her very well, but it is definitely not like Chen Tingzhang.

"You let me go first." Chen Jiao said tremblingly.

Chen Tingzhang let her go, looking forward to her.

As soon as Chen Jiao was free, she ran out immediately. When she was about to run to the door, a strong force came from her wrist. Then, she was pressed to the door panel on the left side of the hall. Chen Tingzhang held her face and kissed her deeply. Chen Jiao was disgusting. She struggled all kinds of times, accidentally turned her head and saw Li Mu in the yard.

He was indeed outside, wearing a light official robe standing under the locust tree in the courtyard, far away, Chen Jiao couldn't see his eyes clearly, but she knew that Li Mu would definitely see that she was being bullied by Chen Tingzhang.

But he did nothing, was he afraid of affecting his career and dared not offend Chen Guojiu's son, or did he have no feelings for her?

Could it be that the thousand-layer bottom he gave her and the porridge he prepared for her, were all fake?

Chen Jiao stopped struggling, she smiled in the direction of Li Mu and closed her eyes.

It has nothing to do with Li Mu, it is because she is too overestimating her ability and actually thinks she can get the heart of such a man.

She chose the wrong person.

Chen Jiao tried to tell herself that it was nothing if she was kissed by Chen Tingzhang a few times or even wanted her body like this. Anyway, she was played with by another person, but she couldn't control her tears. The tears slid from the corners of her eyes, fell along her face, and flowed to the corners of her mouth, and flowed into Chen Tingzhang's mouth.

Chen Tingzhang stopped kissing him, and he slowly raised his head and saw his sister's cheeks pale and she cried into tears.

He was most afraid of his sister crying, and most afraid of her looking at him with tears in her eyes.

Did you really forget it? Even such intimacy can't make her remember it?

If she doesn't remember, what is the difference between the elder brother who forced her and the beast in her eyes?

"I'm sorry Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, my brother is anxious." Chen Tingzhang hugged her tightly in his arms, his face pressed against her head. He promised softly, and his voice even more: "Don't be afraid of Jiaojiao, my brother will protect you. Before you remember, my brother will not bully you again, otherwise he will be punished to die without a burial place."

Chen Jiao felt something was falling in her hair.

Chen Tingzhang actually cried because his sister doesn’t remember him?

This is the first time Chen Jiao saw a man crying and crying for her.

At least at this moment, Chen Jiao believed that Chen Tingzhang would not bully her anymore. At least, Chen Tingzhang would not bully her more than Li Mu.

"I want to go home." Yu Guangzhong and Li Mu were still standing there, Chen Jiao stopped crying and said calmly.

Chen Tingzhang's body stiffened and then looked over in ecstasy: "You, have you remembered it?"

Chen Jiao shook her head and looked at Li Mu outside and said, "I don't want to see him again. I treat him as my husband, but what he does today is not worthy."

Seeing Li Mu, Chen Tingzhang gritted his teeth: "He is not worthy at first. Are you suffering a loss?"

Chen Jiao did not answer and lowered her head and said, "Brother, I'll pack my bags."

"I'll go with you." Chen Tingzhang said as he held her hand.

Chen Jiao acquiesced.

The brother and sister stepped out of the hall, but no one looked at Li Mu in the courtyard and went directly to the backyard.

In addition to her, Chen Jiao also had a hundred-fold dowry. When she packed it up, it was quite a bit of noise.

"They clean up slowly, let's go first." Chen Tingzhang waited impatiently and said to his sister who had changed her clothes.

Chen Jiao nodded.

The brother and sister walked towards the front yard, and Chen Tingzhang wanted to hold her hand, but Chen Jiao refused and lowered her eyes and said, "Brother said that she won't force me."

Chen Tingzhang's eyes darkened, but he still retracted his hand obediently.

When he arrived at the front yard, Li Mu was still standing there, as if he had not moved a single step.

Chen Tingzhang came on a horse and stood in front of Chen Jiao. He coldly ordered Li Mu: "We want to go back to Chang'an and prepare a car."

Li Mu walked over and asked Chen Jiao, who only had the hem of the skirt behind Chen Tingzhang, in a gentle voice: "Miss has recovered her memory?"

Chen Jiao smiled faintly and bypassed Chen Tingzhang. She looked at Li Mu's hypocritical face and asked, "How about recovery? So what if I haven't recovered?"

Based on this question alone, Li Mu knew that she had not recovered her memory, otherwise she would have started scolding her long ago.

Looking straight into her eyes as she cried red, Li Mu said softly: "If the lady recovers, the lady wants to leave, and the lower-ranking official will not force him to stay. If the lady still can't remember the past, then the lady is the lower-ranking official's wife. If the lady wants to leave, she must give her husband a reason, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to her father-in-law."

Chen Jiao couldn't see clearly what he was thinking, and she had no intention of exploring it.

"What the adults do today is a waste of their husbands. Although I have lost my memory, I can distinguish between gentlemen and villains. Please be careful not to be impatient. I will go back to Beijing first, wait for my father to report to you, and then send a letter of peace. From now on, I will break the grace and righteousness with you."

After saying that, Chen Jiao no longer looked at Li Mu and said to her brother: "Let's go."

Chen Tingzhang looked at Li Mu coldly for a few seconds and escorted his sister out without leaving.

Li Mu looked at the backs of the brother and sister and smiled as if nothing had happened.

If you have to be ruthless, what kind of kindness does he have to her?

The original Chen Jiao was disdainful. Although Chen Jiao, who had lost her memory, was a silly and charming person, she was just a temporary phantom after all.

In the afternoon, Chen Jiao's dowry left in the prefect's house was transported away by her dowry, and the people in the backyard were empty.

In the evening, Li Mu returned from the government office and before going to the study, he went to the backyard for a walk.

Everything was silent, as if no one had lived here before, but there seemed to be a trace of fragrance left in the air.

When Li Mu walked from the east room to the inner room, he paused.

On the couch next to the window, there is an exquisite needlework basket, and there is a sachet that is about to be embroidered.

"Husband, I will embroider a sachet for you. What color do you like?"

"I like it all by my wife."
