Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 259 Lou Ben’s guesses and tricks

In this way, Lou Ben left Ling Buhuo's study in confusion. He always felt that his Shangguan was a little strange. Why did his words just sound confusing.

It was as if he was just looking for an excuse to excuse himself, but wasn't he the one who asked him to come? How could this happen? Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, never mind him, it has nothing to do with you.

At this time, Ling Buhuo had returned to the bed behind him and looked at Wang Yanji who was lying limply in a ball on the bed. The war started again.

After everything disappeared, Wang Yanji complained, "You, you are so bad. How could you just now? How could you let my husband come over? If he finds out, I will have no choice but to die."

"Haha, relax, didn't you notice? Don't worry, what I said before is always valid. As long as my wife returns home, our relationship will be over." Ling Buhuo said

"I don't know what you are saying now. Should I believe it or not? Forget it, just do whatever you want? Can you prepare hot water for me now?" Wang Yanji said with a complicated expression.

"Of course you can, don't worry, I'll let Lu Cheng prepare it now. I just have to take a shower too, so we can be together." Ling Buhuo said with a smile.

After Wang Yanji heard this, she just looked at him resentfully, and then said nothing. Ling Buhuo didn't care, but got up directly and went to tell Lu Cheng.

Soon the hot water was ready, and Ling Buhuo took a quick bath before asking Lu Cheng to send Wang Yanji back to her room.

After that, Ling Buhuo packed up and went to Lou Ben's public room. When Ling Buhuo arrived, Lou Ben was still working hard. When he saw Ling Buhuo coming, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Okay, okay, take out the files related to the Sun family and let me take a look." Ling Buhuo said

After hearing this, Lou Ben naturally started to sort the files and prepared three piles in a short time.

"Okay, okay, don't take any more. Isn't this too much?" Ling Buhuo asked.

"Sir, are these not counting the ones that can barely be related to the Sun family? Otherwise, I'm afraid the number will be doubled." Lou Ben explained

"Huo, let me tell you, why does my brother always have trouble with the Sun family? It turns out that the Sun family has such a big problem. Forget it, I won't read these insignificant things."

"Just pick out the ones related to the head of the Sun family and let me take a look." Ling Buhuo said

After hearing this, Lou Ben saluted again, then turned around to look for him.

It didn't take long for him to find three files, and then presented them with both hands. Ling Buhuo took them directly and started reading. The more he looked at them, the deeper his frown deepened.

After reading them all, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said, "I really didn't realize that the Sun family was so bold and reckless, and that Sun Zhuo was, haha."

"When I asked you to spread the news before, go around in more circles and don't let anyone know. It was you who leaked the news. It's best to say these things from other people's mouths."

After hearing this, Lou Ben looked serious, and then bowed. Ling Buhuo stood up immediately when he saw this, and when he reached the door, he said, "Okay, let's go back soon. Don't let your wife guard the empty room alone."

Looking at Ling Buhuo's leaving figure, Lou Ben's face felt a touch more moved. Although Ling Buhuo had forced himself before, he was really careful when cultivating himself.

Being able to do this was already very good, and he was very grateful. Compared to his uncle, it was much better.

Now that he has handed over his errands, he must do what he says and cannot live up to his trust in him, but what should he do? Who can tell it?

After a full three hours, Lou Ben returned to the room with a tired look on his face. When Wang Yanji saw her beloved husband back, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Husband, why are you busy so late?"

"Haha, madam, Master Ling has just taken office, and there are many places in the file that need to be reorganized. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here, right?" Lou Ben said with a smile.

"But husband, your health is very important. Don't be exhausted." Wang Yanji said with a distressed look on her face.

"It doesn't matter, I'm just busy for the past few days, and I'll be fine when I'm done. Master Ling has been kind to me, and I can't be ungrateful. Although I don't have a high official position now, since he trusts me, I can't let him down. ." Lou Ben said with a smile.

After hearing this, Wang Yanji cursed in her heart, how could he trust you? It was only when I made him comfortable that he would trust you.

Of course, she would never say these words. Anyway, as long as her husband is happy, he has not been so happy for a long time.

At this moment, she suddenly felt,... All the grievances she suffered were worth it. Seeing her loving husband full of fighting spirit, she also laughed.

"Okay, husband, please don't sigh for now. I'll have someone prepare hot water. You can take a good bath and I'll give you a massage to relax." Wang Yanji said

"Okay, I just happened to have been sitting for a long time, and my body is really uncomfortable." Lou Ben said with a smile.

Then Lou Ben started taking a bath, soaking comfortably in the tub and enjoying his wife's massage. After completely relaxing, he suddenly thought of a way.

"I thought of it, I thought of it, madam, I thought of a way." Lou Ben said happily

"Okay, husband, I heard it, but what on earth did you think of? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" Wang Yanji asked quickly after hearing this

"Madam, I will tell you right now, but please don't let it out. Master Ling suddenly summoned me today. As soon as I entered, I noticed something was wrong."

"Did you know that Master Ling actually brought a woman into Tingwei's mansion? Master Ling was probably having sex when I went there," Lou Ben said.

"Ah? Husband, husband, is this true or false? How is this possible? Did you guess wrong? Isn't this too ridiculous?" Wang Yanji said with an unnatural expression after hearing this

"Madam, I didn't just guess, I relied on smell. As soon as I entered the room, I smelled the smell that is unique to women. How could I be wrong?"

"I was always curious before, why did he let me go at this time, but now, just now, I figured it out, and I know why." "Because he wanted to deal with the Sun family, so he let me go, I understand. Behind his secret, there is one layer of intimacy and another layer of threat."

"Do you know what he asked me to do? He asked me to find a way to leak out what he wanted to do against the Sun family, and no one could find me." Lou Ben said

"Ah, is that so? Then husband, what do you want to do?" Wang Yanji relaxed when she heard that her husband did not find out about her and Ling Buhuo.

"Let me put this aside for now and wait until I'm done for a few days." Lou Ben said.

"Huh, keep it secret from me. Okay, then I won't ask. The water is cold. Come out quickly. It's time for us to rest." Wang Yanji rolled her eyes and said

"Hey, madam, please wait a moment. I'll come out right now. I'll come out right now." Lou Ben said with a smile.

Lou Ben, who was still somewhat interested at first, felt weak as soon as he lay on the bed and stepped on it. He ignored his wife's resentful eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

In the next few days, Lou Ben was busy in the ocean of files every day. How could Ling Buhuo bear to let his wife stay alone in the empty room? As a Shangguan, he was naturally obliged to help take care of him.

Five days later, the work was finally over. Ling Buhuo said with a smile on his face, "Brother Lou, you have been working really hard these past few days. Go back and have a good rest. You can go to my house for a drink tomorrow."

After hearing this, Lou Ben naturally would not refuse, so he bowed and got into the carriage. Of course, the carriage did not belong to the Lou family. But Ling Buhuo.

When the carriage gradually went away, Ling Buhuo also returned to the public house. After working hard for five consecutive days, even his body could not help but feel a little tired.

After returning to the public room, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep. When he got up again, it was already sunset. He got up, took a nap, and then opened the door.

"Master Marquis, you're awake. I've sent you back. I've also made arrangements for tomorrow's banquet. I wonder if you have any other instructions, Master Marquis?" Lu Chengdao said

"You've done everything you need to do, what else can I do? Okay, after sleeping all day, my bones are rusty, let's go out for a walk." Ling Buhuo said with a smile.

And while Ling Buhuo was sleeping, Lou Ben was not so lucky. As soon as he came back, he was called into the study by his uncle.

Although Lou Ben was very reluctant, he still saluted respectfully, and then stood there politely, waiting for his uncle to speak first.

He had no choice but to know that his eldest uncle was holding his breath, so he would definitely make trouble for him, and it was naturally impossible for him to give him a chance to use the topic to his advantage.

"Ben'er is so prosperous now. I wonder if he still recognizes me as his uncle?" Taifu Lou said.

"My uncle's words are really embarrassing to my nephew. My nephew is a son of the Lou family, so of course..." Lou Ben said.

"Okay, since you still admit it, that's fine. Now that you've arrived at Tingwei Mansion, if there is any trouble, you must tell me in time. Do you understand?" Taifu Lou said.

"Yes, uncle, don't worry, my nephew understands." Lou Ben bowed directly and said

"Well, not bad, not bad, what have you been busy with these days?" Taifu Lou asked with a smile.

"Well, it's actually nothing. I just sorted out the files. After all, Master Ling offended Master Yang before, so there will be some trouble in the handover." Lou Ben explained

"Isn't it right? How did I hear that you investigated a lot of things about the Sun family? Is this your intention or Ling Buhuo's?" Taifu Lou asked

"Huh? Uncle, what do you mean by this? Why can't my nephew understand?" Lou Ben said

"Haha, you are still pretending to be confused with me. It seems that what I just said was in vain. But Ben'er, remember, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing. You won't think that Tingwei Mansion is such an important place. , I won’t arrange eyeliner, right?” Taifu Lou said

"My uncle is wise, and my nephew really admires me. Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will come back with some useful news in the future." Lou Ben said

"Haha, no need, no need, I can't bear your news." Taifu Lou said

"Uncle, please don't be polite. We are a family. Shouldn't we help each other? Uncle, if you have no other instructions, I will leave first." Lou Ben said

Looking at Lou Ben's leaving figure, Taifu Lou's face became very serious. At this time, Taifu Lou was very angry. His nephew really did not intend to ease the relationship with him.

Do you think you can rise through the ranks by relying on Ling Buhuo? Let’s see if we can get what we want then!

What he didn't know was that at this time, Lou Ben had a smile on his lips, but it quickly disappeared, as if it had never been there before.

The next day soon came. Lou Ben did not take his wife to the banquet this time. The reason was that his wife was not feeling well, so he came to the Xiangwu Marquis Mansion by himself.

When Ling Buhuo saw him alone, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said, "Brother Lou, why didn't your wife come with you?"

"Um, Lord Marquis, my wife may have been a little tired these past few days and feels a little uncomfortable, so she didn't come with me today. I hope you'll forgive me." Lou Ben bowed and said.

"Hey, it doesn't matter. It's your business whether your wife comes or not. Just come. But if you stay alone in the empty room at night, don't blame me for making you drink. Hahaha." Ling Buhuo laughed.

After hearing this, Lou Ben also laughed. He knew that he probably wouldn't be able to go back tonight. After the two of them sat down in the inner courtyard, Lou Ben said, "Master Hou, I have already completed the things you asked me to do. "

"What? Is it done? So fast? What method did you use?" Ling Buhuo asked

"Sir, it's a coincidence that as soon as I returned to the house yesterday, my eldest uncle called me over. He asked me what I had been busy with these days, so I took advantage of his plan." Lou Ben said.

"Oh? This is a good idea. It will not arouse others' suspicion. Yes, yes, I will ask for your credit from the Third Highness." Ling Buhuo said happily.

"My lord, you are joking. As long as you can advance step by step, you will not treat the villain badly. Therefore, this is all your credit, the lord, and the villain dare not take the credit." Lou Ben said

"Hahaha, you, Brother Lou, Brother Lou, you are really interesting, whatever, whatever, let's not talk about it anymore, come on, let's drink." Ling Buhuo laughed.

While they were pushing cups and changing cups, Taifu Lou had already arrived at the East Palace and told His Highness the news he had learned yesterday.

"What? Taifu, are you saying that Ling Buhuo is eyeing the Sun family? Is this news accurate?" the prince asked.

"Back to Your Highness, this news is based on my testing with my nephew and combined with the news from Tingwei Mansion's informant. The final result should be close to ten." Taifu Lou said.

After hearing this, the prince was silent for a while, because he knew Taifu Lou's character, and when he said that he was inseparable, it meant that he was absolutely sure.

In other words, Ling Buhuo had really set his sights on the Sun family, and the prince couldn't help but have a headache at this time.

After all, Ling Buhuo is not generally difficult to deal with. People who are targeted by him never end well.
