Chapter 188: Either a traitor or a thief
Su Yuan glared at him and moved inside.
Cheng Lang did not continue to disturb Su Yuan. After coaxing his daughter to sleep, he put her in her own crib.
After the wet nurse fed Gu Ruchu in the morning, Su Yuan gave her two hours' leave and asked her to go back. She also specially asked the carriage in the mansion to take her back.
The servants who had relatives in Kyoto all took the purses and gifts given by Su Yuan back home to celebrate the New Year, but most of the servants had no relatives or their entire family worked in the mansion.
Shao Qing was also in the room with his wife at this moment.
Li Mo was pregnant and had a very bad temper, so Shao Qing didn't dare to provoke her.
"Mo'er! What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you? Osmanthus cake from the east of the city? Or sour plums from the west of the city?" Shao Qing gave Li Mo a flattering smile.
Li Mo frowned and looked at him, "What? Did you do something wrong to me outside?"
Shao Qing: ...
How can it be?
Apart from protecting the young master in the academy, he also stays at home with Li Mo. How could he possibly do anything to let Li Mo down?
Isn’t it the new year?
His wife asked him to go to Linzhou on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so...
He can only stay with Li Mo for four days.
It would take at least a month to go back and forth. When he came back, he would have to accompany the young master back to the academy, so he would have no time to accompany Li Mo. He wanted to try his best to meet all of Li Mo's requests in the next few days.
He had to do more work and save more money. He couldn't let Li Mo spend her dowry to support the family.
If Li Mo gave birth to a girl, he would have to save up a dowry for her.
If it were a son...
He had to buy a house for his son. Even if their children continued to work in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, he would still buy a house for them so that they could live outside when they were not living in the mansion.
So, he still needs to work harder!
"How dare I? I would never dare to do anything to let you down!" Shao Qing promised.
Li Mo looked at him doubtfully, she didn't know whether she could believe what Shao Qing said.
After all, the lady said that there are few good men in the world. They are fickle and forget their principles when they see profit.
Madam told her to love herself more before loving others.
She believed what the lady said!
The lady would not harm her, so she could only believe half of Shao Qing's words and doubt the other half.
"Who knows if you dare? I won't believe the sweet words of you men." Li Mo pretended to be smart.
Shao Qing: ...
"Mo'er! What's wrong? How did I offend you?" Shao Qing looked puzzled.
Why does Li Mo seem to be acting weird?
He didn't offend Li Mo either.
Li Mo continued to make her clothes. She shook her head and said, "It's okay! It's New Year's Day, what could happen to me?"
Yesterday, the lady gave her a big purse. She was very happy. What's the problem?
It was because Shao Qing was being so attentive that he looked like he had something important to do!
"It's you! Shao Qing! Why are you being so attentive to me for no reason?" Li Mo asked.
Shao Qing looked innocent. "What do you mean by being attentive for no reason? You are my wife, my madam, and you are pregnant with my child. I am your husband, and I treat you and the child well. Is there a problem with that?"
He just wanted to be more obedient to Li Mo these few days, so how could it be considered as being too attentive for no reason?
Li Mo thought about it and it seemed that there was no problem.
"It's New Year's Day, you should stay at home. I don't want to eat anything." Li Mo returned to the original question.
There are plenty of snacks and sour plums in the house, so why does Shao Qing need to go out and buy them?
Did he just want to go out, so he used her as an excuse?
You’re going out on New Year’s Day. Are you keeping a mistress outside?
Li Mo thought about this and glared at Shao Qing, "Are you keeping a mistress outside without telling me? You're even going out to hang out with her on New Year's Day!"
Shao Qing: ...
Why are you getting more and more exaggerated?
"What concubine? How could I have a concubine? Don't accuse me wrongly!" Shao Qing said with a face full of grievance.
"You'd better not! Otherwise... I will ask Madam to kick you out of the house, and I will live here with the child." Li Mo planned.
The Madam had told her that even after getting married, she would still be the Madam's maid, no, she would be promoted to a nanny in the future!
She can live in the mansion in the future, and her children can grow up in the mansion.
As for Shao Qing...
A stinky man, you can have him or not.
She could raise her own children without him.
Shao Qing held her wrist and said seriously, "Mo'er! You can't be so cruel! This is our child. You can't just want the child and not the father! Who is it that is trying to sow discord between us? I'm going to settle the score with him!"
Anyone who dares to destroy the relationship between you and me, I will not forgive him! "
Li Mo became more and more cold towards him, but she used to like chasing after him.
Now don’t expect Li Mo to chase after him, it would be good enough if she just gives him some good face.
He was the one who was being mean before, deliberately treating Li Mo coldly and ignoring her, but...
He already regretted it and wanted to live a good life with her.
"No one is trying to sow discord between us! I figured it out myself. A woman should have her own principles and her own life. She can't always revolve around one man.
So, my husband! I won't be around you anymore." Li Mo explained.
She just figured it out. She had to live her own life well so that her emotions wouldn't be affected by others.
Shao Qing looked at her as if he understood something. What did this have to do with her giving him the cold shoulder?
They are husband and wife, they shouldn't be so distant.
"But we are husband and wife, please don't always be cold to me, okay? We should be like master and mistress, loving and sweet, okay?" Shao Qing held her hand and forced Li Mo to look at him and stop making clothes.
Li Mo looked up at Shao Qing. How did he know that the Madam and the Duke were so loving and sweet?
She only saw that the Duke was obedient to his wife, so she wanted to learn from her!
"Okay! Don't block me, I want to make clothes for the child." Li Mo asked Shao Qing to let her go, she wanted to continue making clothes.
You don't know whether it is a boy or a girl, the cloths she bought are all blue and cyan colors that can be used by both boys and girls, and can be worn by both boys and girls.
After the baby is born, if it is a girl, she will make a skirt for her daughter!
"Mo'er, I will go to Linzhou in a few days to do some work for my wife. Will you...will you blame me?" Shao Qing asked.
Li Mo was stunned. It turned out that Shao Qing was acting strangely today because of this matter.
Going to do things for the lady was a good thing, how could she possibly blame Shao Qing?
The lady gave her a dowry of one hundred thousand taels!
The dowry of an ordinary daughter in Kyoto City is not that much.
She was just a maid but had such a huge dowry. I wonder how many people envied her.
Naturally, she hoped that Shao Qing could help his wife solve her problems.
"Go ahead! Just go and do your job without worry. I will take good care of myself and the child." Li Mo promised.
