Farmer's happy event

Chapter 458 Retirement

"What happened at that time?" Lianzi asked with a sigh.

Su Keyan pursed her lips and told her what happened.

"Well, I see." Lianzi said, with a calm expression on her face, without any anger or wave.

But in Su Keyan's eyes, he was even more at a loss.

Isn't she angry?

"Do you know?" Lianzi suddenly softened her voice and asked, "I believe in you, no matter how much rumors spread, I will still believe you, but why didn't you tell me? You must let others know Am I the last to know?"

If she had known earlier, she could have worked with him to figure out a way to deal with it earlier, at least it would not be in such a bad situation as it is now.

"I'll take care of it, you have to take good care of yourself." Su Keyan said, looking at Lianzi's eyes, there was a flash of apology, but also a bit of determination.

Lianzi looked annoyed and said, "Why are you still like this?"

He has always been like this, always thinking of solving all the difficulties, only telling her the news of victory, and enjoying the happiness with her, but why he doesn't know, watching him face everything alone, she It will be very distressing, very uncomfortable.

"Okay, it's okay, it's okay." Su Keyan chuckled lightly, holding Lianzi in his arms.

Lianzi thumped his chest angrily, and was afraid that she would use too much force, so she rubbed it for him.

"Then what do you think we should do now?" Lianzi asked, "Do you just let the rumors continue?"

"Besides that, I haven't thought of any other way yet."

Hearing what he said, Lianzi burst out laughing, thinking that there was something he could do, but there was no other way.

"Do you know who passed it on?" Lianzi asked.

Su Keyan shook his head, this is exactly what he was curious about, why did he spread such nonsense?There were only a few people who went to Liangcheng together, but after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible for everyone, because it would not do them any good at all.

That is to say, I'm afraid it was an unintentional mistake.But that's it, that's scary, and there's no way to start, even trying to find that person, let him explain, and quell the rumors are impossible.

"Okay, let's leave it like this for now," Lianzi said, "Rumours stop with wise men. If someone didn't spread them on purpose, it wouldn't take long for them to die down."

Since there is no way to deal with it now, it is even more impossible to let Li Shuxuan in, so let's do this first.As for Li Shuxuan, if her reputation is ruined, she will be ruined anyway. She asked for it anyway. Everything she did before made Lianzi want her to suffer a long time ago, so this time is just right.

"Then, shall we still burn incense tomorrow?" Lianzi asked, looking up at Su Keyan's chin.

"Go, of course."

"Yeah," Lianzi smiled happily.

That's right, not only will she not hide at home all day like before, but this time she will go out to make a high-profile appearance, so that those who are waiting to watch the fun and jokes have a good look. With one heart, it is simply impossible for others to get a foot in it.

Lianzi and Su Keyan chose to deal with it calmly, but at this time, some people couldn't stay calm.

"Li Mo, tell me, what's going on?" Wu Guogong sat in the flower hall of Li's mansion, his old face flushed.He really couldn't imagine that such an embarrassing thing would happen in his Duke Wu's residence.

Li Mo couldn't argue with his words at this time, he also just came back, and when he entered the door, he heard that his wife was looking for him, before he even took a step, he was caught by Wu Guogong.

"Grandpa, please don't be angry, this matter may be a misunderstanding." Li Mo said with a smile, he was really annoyed at being called by his name and pointed at his nose, but he didn't take advantage of this matter. Reasonable, we have to dredge it well first.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding!" Wu Guogong shouted, his beard trembling with anger, "Even if it was a misunderstanding, it is no longer a misunderstanding after being passed on like this!"

Rumors have spread like this, and everyone in the capital knows that the reputation of his daughter-in-law-to-be in Duke Wu's mansion has been tarnished. How can he bear this tone?

Li Mo said with an apologetic smile again: "Grandpa, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly as soon as possible and give you a satisfactory answer."

Wu Guogong slapped the table and said angrily: "If I can bear it any longer, then our entire Duke's mansion will be poked and scolded!"

"What does the Duke of the country want me to do?" Li Mo asked helplessly.

In terms of status, he is not much lower than Wu Guogong from a first-rank official. Although this marriage is high, it is not unattainable.

"Retire!" Wu Guogong said directly.

Hearing what he said, Li Mo couldn't hold back for a moment, and said: "The matter of retiring, the Duke of the country should not be free, this marriage is very optimistic about the concubine Shu Gui, if you just resign like this, I'm afraid that my mother will be unhappy."

As soon as Li Mo's voice fell, he was scolded by Wu Guogong: "Don't you use your mother to threaten me. You have not entered the door, and you have done such a scandal. If I can bear it, my mother is a turtle." grandson!"

"You—" Li Mo was annoyed, this Duke Wu is indeed a rough man, reckless and rude, and now he doesn't even pay attention to the imperial concubine or empress.

"Retire!" Wu Guogong said again, looking at Li Mo intently.

"If you want to retreat, go and talk to the imperial concubine." Li Mo didn't show weakness, he was already very angry, but now he couldn't help it when he made such a strong disturbance.

When Wu Guogong heard what he said, his hair exploded in an instant, and he shouted: "What's the matter? Is this still dependent?"

"Hmph, reckless military officer, what a good lintel!" Li Mo said contemptuously.

Nowadays, the Holy One is more and more emphasizing civility over military affairs. Even if he is a first-class military officer, his actual status may not be as good as that of a third-class civil servant.

When Wu Guogong heard what he said, he cursed angrily: "Damn it, you dare to say it again?"

Li Mo snorted softly, if he listened to him, wouldn't he be really stupid?

Although the military officer is not popular, once he really starts to fight, he can't suffer.

Li Mo wanted to marry Li Shuxuan into Wu Guogong's mansion, but he actually had the future in mind.If his Li family wants to stand still, it can only rely on Concubine Shu.If you want to send Concubine Shu to a high position, you must let her child become the prince and the future emperor.Don't look at the current peaceful and prosperous age, it's all because the emperor's heirs are still few, and when they gradually increase in the future, disputes will inevitably be inevitable.At that time, these military officers with family backgrounds may come in handy.

"Try to say it again!" Wu Guogong yelled at Li Mo again, if he dared to say it again, he would definitely throw his fist directly.

It's been a while since I waved this fist, it's really itchy.

But Li Mo actually stopped talking, even though Wu Guogong raised his eyebrows here, he just stood still.

In the end, he called for someone to come, saw off the guests directly, and then turned and left.

Since the face was torn apart, there was nothing to be afraid of. Wu Guogong scolded Li Mo again, yelling that he must retire before leaving.

After Li Mo left the flower hall, he went to the study room by himself. Just as he closed the door, he heard a "squeak", and the door was pushed open.

"Get out!" Li Mo yelled.

But instead of going out, the visitor went in instead.

"Master, why are you so angry?"

Li Mo heard the voice, looked up, and saw that it was Madam.

He sighed heavily, and then heard Mrs. Li say: "A military general is not a high-ranking family, let alone a mere bastard, we Shuxuan married, I feel wronged."

She tried her best to keep this marriage, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.Now, there is no other way but to follow Li Mo's meaning first.

"Yes, even if he comes to beg us this time, we won't marry!" Li Mo pointed to the door and said loudly.

Since he returned to the court, he has always been highly respected, and today he has had enough.

Li Mo taunted Duke Wu's mansion again, and then suddenly asked Mrs. Li: "By the way, what are the rumors outside?"

He just heard what Wu Guogong said just now, and he didn't know what the situation was.

However, he guessed that it was Li Shuxuan who went to the northwest along the way, and this matter was revealed by others, which led to some rumors.

Mrs. Li sat down on the lower chair, and told him some of the rumors outside that could be heard.

"What did you say?" Li Mo jumped up against the case, "There is such a thing?"

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Li said, "Rumors are spreading everywhere, and I don't know where they came from. Now the whole capital probably knows about it."

Be good, Li Mo said in his heart, this matter is serious, no wonder that old man Wu Guogong wants to withdraw his marriage to death.

"It was really Shuxuan who saved him back then?" Li Mo asked Li Fu again.

Mrs. Li said: "I don't know about this either. If the master asks Shuxuan himself, will he know everything?"

Li Mo was reminded by her, and hurriedly called to follow the boy, asking him to call the young lady.

Li Shuxuan was in the room at this time, doing embroidery work, and suddenly heard Yuzhu say that her father asked her to go to the study.

Since she came back, Li Shuxuan hadn't been out of the house, so naturally she didn't know about the rumors outside. Therefore, when Li Mo called her over, she didn't doubt that he was there, she just cleaned up a little, and then went to the study.

After arriving at the study room, he pushed open the door and saw that Mrs. Li was also present.

She suddenly became displeased, no matter what happened in the past, as long as she was there, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Although she was unhappy, Li Shuxuan still walked into the study with a smile on her face.

She bowed slightly to Li Mo and Mrs. Li to salute, and then said, "Why did father call me here?"

Li Mo frowned at her and said, "Let me ask you, after Su Keyan fell into the water, were you really the one who saved his life?"
