Chapter 95
Chen Jiao remembered that in the prefect's mansion, in addition to the fake couple who were famous and Li Mu, Li Mu's aunt's family also lived in this prefect's house.
Li Mu's parents died when he was young, but his elder aunt Fang took him back. Many boys in the family had to give him an extra meal. Fang was disliked by her husband and was often beaten. Fang endured it and would rather eat less than starve his nephew. When Li Mu was fourteen years old, the court recruited soldiers. Li Mu secretly joined the army with his aunt on his back. After he got a job, he learned that his uncle died of drunkenness, so Li Mu took Fang, his cousin Wu Qingsong, and his cousin Wu Xiu'e.
Chen Jiao's memories are mainly related to Li Mu and Chen Tingzhang. The three women of Fang are almost shadows. Of course, Chen Jiao can't remember what Wu Xiu'e wants to sue her this time, but her original body is a proud lady who even officials like Li Mu look down on. You can imagine how she is facing Wu Xiu'e. The dispute between the two girls cannot escape the trivial matters of the back house.
No matter what the case is, Chen Jiao is not afraid of her original body going to Li Mu to sue. What are she afraid of? The original body slapped Li Mu in the face and put a half-cuckold on Li Mu before she got married. She already has such a big grudge. Whether Wu Xiu'e sued or not, Li Mu will not have any good impression of her. As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about her if she has too much debt.
Chen Jiao went to get to know her backyard first.
Born in Guojiu's Mansion, he has been frugal since he was a child, and his daily life is very luxurious. The bed, cabinet, table and chairs in the boudoir are made of high-quality precious woods. Any antiques and utensils on Duobao Pavilion are enough for the family to be rich for three generations. Next to the dressing table is a diorama of more than one person, and the frame is inlaid with various gems, not to mention the countless precious jewelry in the jewelry box.
Although Chen Guojiu hated his daughter for committing a scandal of ruining family traditions, he still favored his original body and had a generous dowry.
These are dead objects. There are four big maids around the original body, namely Bihe, Biliu, Luzhu, and Lushao. In addition to the other little maids, it is worth mentioning that the eight female guards given to her by Chen Tingzhang.
The master is like a servant. The original body looks down on Li Mu, and these maids dare to show Li Mu's face. It would be fine if it was just like this. They obey Chen Tingzhang's orders and are more loyal to the original body.
Chen Jiao rubbed her forehead and felt that the situation was extremely difficult.
Throughout the afternoon, Chen Jiao was worried about how to reverse Li Mu's impression of her. She was so worried that it was dark that she had no idea. Not to mention the rumors about her and Chen Tingzhang were even a mountain between her and Li Mu. It was difficult for ten Yugongs to help her to remove them.
After sleeping for a while, thinking that Li Mu would be back tomorrow, Chen Jiao became more and more impatient. After breakfast, Bihe ordered her to accompany her to the garden.
It was March, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Unfortunately, the garden of the prefect is pitiful and can be seen at a glance. The reason is that Li Mu is frugal by nature and loves the people after taking office. He did not spend much energy to repair the prefect. Fortunately, although the sparrows are small, they are all in all kinds of organs, and there are still rockery and pool water. A row of peach trees are planted by the pond, and the pollen is like clouds.
Chen Jiao went straight to the peach blossoms. When she got closer, she found that someone had arrived before her. She was a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a pink dress, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, which was very beautiful.
Seeing Chen Jiao, the girl's eyebrows were raised and her angered look was.
Chen Jiao guessed that this should be the cousin Wu Xiu'e.
Sure enough, Bihe had already walked forward and said domineeringly: "Our lady wants to enjoy the flowers, but you won't retreat yet!"
A few days ago, Wu Xiu'e was suppressed by the maid sent by Chen Jiao and slapped her four times because she couldn't stand Chen Jiao's words. Wu Xiu'e hated and feared Chen Jiao. At this time, seeing that Chen Jiao only brought Bihe, Wu Xiu'e looked at her maid Xiao Cui, so she was no longer afraid. She raised her chin and said, "This is my cousin's house. I can enjoy the flowers wherever I want. Which onion do you think are?"
Wu Xiu'e lived in the countryside before she was ten years old. She worked as an official lady with Li Mu for five years. Her face was white and tender, but her temper was still a bit vulgar as a village girl.
Bihe didn't like her most. Just as she was about to teach her a lesson, Chen Jiao said lazily: "Forget it."
After saying that, Chen Jiao went to another peach tree.
Bihe gave Wu Xiu'e a fierce look, and then caught up with her master.
Wu Xiu'e looked at Chen Jiao's silhouette in confusion, wondering, why is this woman so honest today?
Wu Xiu'e was also restless. She still remembered the revenge of the four slaps. Today, there were few people around Chen Jiao, which was a good opportunity for her to take revenge.
If Wu Xiu'e grew up in Chang'an City and had seen the world and knew how powerful the Chen family was, she would not dare to collide with Chen Jiao, but she had been the most precious cousin in Li Mu's mansion for five years and was used to her bullying others. Last year, Chen Jiao married and looked down on the people and didn't even take her cousin seriously. Wu Xiu'e would have been holding her breath for a long time. The four slaps a few days ago were the last fire that burned her rationality.
Seeing Chen Jiao standing on the shore to enjoy the flowers, Bihe also stood with her back to her. Wu Xiu'e was ruthless and suddenly rushed towards Bihe quickly!
She was too fast, Bihe turned around when she heard the sound, and Wu Xiu'e had already reached out to push her over!
Bihe only had time to let out a scream, but was pushed back by Wu Xiu'e. Poor Chen Jiao's weak body like Liu Fufeng was suddenly knocked out by Bihe and lost her balance. She stepped on the air and fell into the pool face to the sky!
Chen Jiao felt a pain in the back of her head and then she lost consciousness.
When his consciousness was restored, Chen Jiao had not opened her eyes yet, she heard someone ask, "Doctor, will something happen to my lady?"
It was Bihe, who should have been standing behind the screen and asked.
The doctor said in embarrassment: "The lady has blood stasis behind her head, and the injury can be mild or severe. Before the lady wakes up, I dare not speak nonsense."
Another maid spoke, and she was so anxious that she almost cried: "What should I do? I heard that someone just kowtowed her head and became dumbfounded. What if the lady..."
"Shut up, the good guy has his own appearance, so he won't become stupid!"
"Okay, stop arguing, wait until the lady wakes up."
The room finally calmed down.
The back of Chen Jiao's head hurts, but at this moment, her mind was filled with the voices of several maids! Because of those gossips, Chen Jiao suddenly remembered a strange story she heard when she was in the Duke's mansion, saying that a young man accidentally hit his head and woke up well, but he forgot who he was, and he didn't even remember his biological parents!
This idea made Chen Jiao see hope! If she didn't remember it, then she could just be an innocent and innocent lady. Li Mu was her husband. When she got close to him, it was human love. Li Mu would never doubt that she had other purposes. At the same time, she didn't remember Chen Tingzhang and those kindnesses. Li Mu might not mind the confusion of his original body!
Chen Jiao was so happy that she wanted to sit up!
But she held back. Now she was about to start pretending. Her personality was different from her original body. As long as everyone could believe that she really forgot, it would not be difficult for the future.
After being excited, Chen Jiao pretended to be unconscious while thinking about it.
The preparation was almost done, Chen Jiao frowned and opened her eyes.
Bihe was guarding her in front of the bed. Seeing her awake, Bihe rushed over happily and asked with concern: "Miss, are you awake? How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Chen Jiao looked at her blankly. She was not familiar with these people at all, but now it is easier to pretend.
Seeing that her eyes were wrong, Bihe immediately called her doctor.
When the doctor was taking Chen Jiao's pulse, a quarrel suddenly came from the door of the main hall.
"The lady once ordered that the prefect should not step into this place, please stop." It was the voice of the maid Biliu.
Li Mu is back?
Chen Jiao was shocked at first, and then secretly warned herself to calm down.
Then, she heard a gentle and steady voice: "What about Miss now?"
Biliu is very rude: "It has nothing to do with you, so don't forget your duty."
When Chen Jiao heard this, she kept feeling glad. Fortunately, she thought of this solution. Otherwise, Li Mu would not let her go with these tricky slaves. Of course, if the maid dares to be rude to Li Mu, they must have been used to it.
Faced with the maid's disrespect, the man's voice was still gentle: "If the lady wakes up, I will bring my cousin to apologize. If the lady is still unconscious, I must visit her, otherwise I will not be able to explain to my uncle."
In the inner room, Bihe stared at the master on the bed.
Chen Jiao looked at her with a little fear: "Who is the person outside?"
Bihe felt a slump in her heart. The lady hated Li Mu the most. Now she couldn't even let the lady return to normal if she appeared...
Bihe was very scared. The lady really forgot that the prince Chen Tingzhang could not spare them. At this time, she should find a scapegoat.
After making a decision, Bihe winked at another maid Luzhu.
Luzhu understood it and turned around and walked out.
Soon, she went back and there was another person behind her.
Chen Jiao lay on the bed, her vision blocked by the corner of the bed. It was not until the man came over and stopped behind the doctor that Chen Jiao saw him.
The twenty-seven-year-old Li Mu is more than eight feet long, wearing a light gray official uniform, with a narrow waist and thin waist, looking slender and upright. He is a military general, but his skin is very fair, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and looks at her with concern. Li Mu is undoubtedly a handsome man, but he has an extremely gentle and elegant demeanor. If Lu Yu is a noble sword, Li Mu is a beautiful jade that has been preserved for countless years, which makes people want to get close to him.
He is born in poverty, but is born with a jade bone. No wonder he can tolerate it and cannot tolerate it.
This was the first time Chen Jiao and Li Mu met. She didn't need to pretend at all, just staring at him blankly.
The girl on the bed had a scattered black hair and pale cheeks, and she looked like a serious illness, but her eyes were black and clear, and the surprise and strangeness inside were visible.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Li Mu bowed slightly and asked in a warm voice: "Where is the lady injured?"
Chen Jiao still looked at him with watery eyes, and pointed his little hand obediently at his head.
Li Mu frowned and was about to ask the doctor, Chen Jiao looked at him and asked timidly: "Are you my father?"
It was not that Chen Jiao deliberately wanted to tease Li Mu, but that Li Mu was ten years older than her, and he had a calm and composed calmness far beyond his actual age, just like an elder.
As soon as this said, Li Mu looked at him again in shock.
Chen Jiao looked at him expectantly.
The doctor who sat for her to take her pulse had long been as stiff as a stone. Bihe and Luzhu's two maids opened their mouths wide.
"I, I'm not." Li Mu stuttered rarely when he answered.
Chen Jiao's expression darkened, her eyes moved to the others, and asked in panic: "Who are you? Why don't you know any of you?"
Li Mu lowered his eyes, not knowing how to explain. He was her nominal husband, but on the night of the marriage, the lady had already drawn a clear line with him.
The green beads looked at each other and were silent.
In the end, the doctor couldn't stand it anymore. Although the prefect around him was ridiculed for the sake of his official career, he was ridiculed by others. However, after taking office, the prefect was generous and kind to the people of Hexi County, which shocked the Huns' robbers and soldiers to invade and disturb the people. The doctor sincerely admired him. The more he admired him, the less he disliked the woman who bullied the prefect.
"He is the prefect of our Hexi County and your husband." The doctor said word by word, implying the meaning of lessons.
