The summer wind is intense and boring.
In Teng Manor, in the cool water pavilion, Chen Mu was making circles on the table full of papers, as if he was trying to find something.
"No clues yet?"
Across the stone table, Li Luo asked casually after counting the account books. As the years passed, her body became more and more soft and attractive. Of course, this cannot shake Chen Mu's will. What melts the dream interpreter's resistance is her spring-like interpretation of words and her transcendent gentle wisdom.
Chen Mu didn't look up, and said with some disappointment: "I thought there would be clues about the protagonist of the original work, but I didn't expect that my trip would be in vain."
Li Luo knew that the other party was talking about the time he had just returned from Danzhou. The plot of this dream world was completely different from the original work, and he could no longer look at it from the original perspective.
"For an important figure like Fan Xian, it's impossible for Wang Nian and the others not to fight for it, right?"
"He does look a lot like a possessed person, but he has acted cautiously and has not exposed any traces. I can't jump to conclusions."
"I know a place, maybe there is a clue?"
"where?"
"The Drunken Immortal's Residence, Wangfu Terrace."
"I know Zuixianju, but where is Wangfu Terrace?"
"You didn't know that you came back just now, but this matter has been widely spread outside. It is said that it is a woman named Si Lili. Her husband had a conflict with her and ran away from home. She was found all the way from Northern Qi Dynasty, and she didn't have to pay any money. I became the servant of Zuixianju and built a watchtower to wait for my husband to change his mind."
"That doesn't sound like a possessed person."
"His husband's name is Chen Mu."
Chen Mu was stunned: "Are you so blatant?"
"They are looking for us, and we are looking for them. Seeing that it has been so long and both sides have no clues at all, it is understandable that they came up with this method."
"Maybe it's Chen Hao and the others. They should observe secretly first and verify the identity of the other party before making any plans."
"Countless Chen Mu goes there every night. I don't know if it's a trap or not. I'll go with you."
Chen Mu shook his head: "I'm also a master of the ninth level, so be careful and protect yourself. That kind of place is not suitable for you."
"Then what if you do this behind my back?"
"Um?"
Chen Mu's soul froze slightly, why did the other party suddenly make such a joke? He raised his head and met a pair of eyes that were trying to calm down.
"In name, I have the power to supervise you, right?"
"It would be nice to see the ancient customs, so let's go and see them together."
Chen Mu agreed with a smile. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that Li Luo paid more attention to Wang Nian and his group than him.
"Master, Madam, there is someone outside asking to see you."
While the two were talking, a maid came to report.
In order not to appear high-profile, and not to show any traces, Li Luo hired servants when she bought the mansion, but the number was not large. Including her personal maids, there were about twenty people in total.
"Go and invite people into the living room, we'll be here right away."
Chen Mu also guessed that he was Li Luo's business friend, and saw a young man in mysterious clothes appeared.
"Brother Teng, I'm sorry to bother you if you don't come in person."
"Fan Xian? Please sit down quickly."
Hearing that it was Chen Mu who was meeting, Li Luo stood up and gave way. Duan Duan saluted, put away the paper and account books, and asked the maid to leave together.
"You guys have something to talk about, I'll go get some refreshments."
Fan Xian clasped his hands in return, and suddenly saw Li Luo's true appearance. His pupils suddenly dilated and he forgot his words. He shouted in his heart: "I have become the protagonist. I didn't expect to miss this most beautiful wife, Teng Zi Jin Ya Teng." Zijin, I finally know why you died unexpectedly.
"Master Fan, what makes you so anxious and distracted?"
"Uh! Hey, what else can there be besides the Overwatch Council?"
After hearing the reminder, Fan Xian hurriedly came to his senses, secretly cursed himself and sat down at the table: This person will be his true friend, but he can't think about it. He has to wait until he sacrifices for himself. An excuse to take care of his family for him.
"The people from the Overwatch Council had a conflict with Master Fan?"
"I suddenly became the supervisor of the Overwatch Council, but I can't control it alone."
As he said that, Fan Xian threw the Tisi Waist Card on the table: "If my teacher hadn't told me to keep it safe, I would have melted it and used it as gold."
Chen Mu pretended to take it in his hand and looked at it: "It's true. I've heard that Mr. Fei has a close disciple who he loves very much. I didn't expect that even the dean would value it so much."
"How do you know Chen Laiping values me?"
"The status of appointees in the Overwatch Council is only lower than that of the dean, and only the dean can appoint and remove them. Congratulations, Mr. Xiao Fan."
"I don't know how much headache it will cause me. Alas, I just want to be a rich and idle man, marry a few beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, and then marry a few more beautiful wives and beautiful concubines. Why is it so difficult?"
Chen Mu looked at Fan Xian strangely: With this kind of thinking, he must be possessing someone.
"Why is this so difficult?"
"It's not right for you to stand and talk without hurting your back. When Mrs. De's sister-in-law saw me today, I was jealous to death. With such a good wife, it's only natural that you don't have other ideas."
"Master Fan holds great power at a young age. He should put the national industry first, so why worry about not having a wife?"
"This is what your ancients thought. Forget it, you don't understand. I'm not here to complain to you today. There are activities at Zuixianju in the evening. You are the only acquaintance of mine in the whole capital. You won't reject me, right?"
"Here, my lord has an order, Zijin will not dare to disobey it."
"Hey, don't do this to me. I told you that I came to you as a friend."
"It is my honor to be your friend."
"Then let's just say that we'll see you there at three o'clock in the morning. By the way, someone else has made an appointment with me. Don't call me sir when the time comes. I'm a few years younger than you. Just call me Brother Fan."
"promise"
After agreeing on a time and place, Fan Xian waved his sleeves and was about to leave. He subconsciously looked at the end of the corridor before hiding his disappointed eyes and left.
"What did he tell you?"
As soon as Fan Xian left, Li Luo asked someone to come back with tea.
"It's also about Zuixianju. He invited me."
"You agreed?"
"He is now a supervisor of the Overwatch Council, and his status is higher than those in charge of other departments."
"If I disguise myself as a man, he won't recognize me, right?"
Chen Mu frowned, even this could not stop the other party from going forward. Could it be that the other party really had some secret?
"It doesn't matter whether he recognizes him or not. This is a good opportunity to find Wang Nian and others. We will act accordingly."
Li Luo nodded slightly. Although this body was not hers, she had used it for many years. Thinking of what she was about to do, she couldn't help but feel nervous and expectant.
"Then you prepare first. I'll go to the commercial building to arrange some things, and I'll leave when I get back."
"I'm not busy. It's still early. You can make arrangements slowly."
Chen Mu disagreed with this. Li Luo's commercial building had enough manpower, but there were periods when it was too busy. Only then would he go and help.
However, the two of them never expected that someone would be waiting at the door of Teng Mansion.
The commercial building was not far away, but Li Luo still took the car as usual, and his personal maid Cai Yun entered the carriage together. And in an inconspicuous corner of the street, a figure ran away in a hurry.
The two sides disappeared one after another, and another figure appeared. If Chen Mu was surprised here, this person turned out to be Fan Xian who had left long ago.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
There is also a carriage hidden behind Fan Xian, and the person speaking at the front of the carriage is a girl from Xiaojiabiyu.
Fan Xian shook his head and said nothing. He spent money to get into the dream after watching the original plot. He exchanged all his belongings for the role of the protagonist. He even signed up for organ donation in the real world to get enough money, but the plot was very different from what he imagined. It was different, which made him feel very complicated.
"Brother, don't look at it. Princess Chen is also a beauty. At her age, she is no worse than her."
"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? I just noticed someone was following me, and I don't have any common sense against tracking."
"I know that man, he is a servant of the Guo Mansion?"
"Guo Mansion?"
Fan Xian suddenly remembered that the original work misrepresented that Teng Zijin’s wife was bullied by Guo Baokun? It seems that this world has a strong ability to correct errors, and it can bring the plot back to the main line. He also knew that this misunderstanding was deliberately targeted by some insidious guy.
Thoughtfully, Brother and Sister Fan Xian drove away.
At the gate of Teng Mansion, Chen Mu looked at the two people's retreating figures with a thoughtful expression on his face: If Fan Xian retained the memory of the real world, he must have known that Li Luo was completely different from the original Mrs. Teng, and he might have guessed something about this. Will it cause greater changes?
Luo Mu Shang Building occupies a large row in the most prosperous area of the capital. Before Li Luo got off the car, he saw a lot of people gathering at the gate from a distance. There was a confrontation between the store owner and the customer. The cause was unknown. I could only hear someone shouting that they wanted to see the boss.
"Cai Yun, send this account book and plan to the shopkeeper and ask her to report it to the official."
"Ah? Madam, won't you come?"
"The enemy clearly laid out a trap for me to fall into. How could I follow the enemy's wishes?"
Li Luo smiled softly and lowered the car curtain. Without explaining much, he ordered the maid and set off back.
————
On the banks of the Jinliu River and the Jade Lake, Zuixianju, which is famous throughout the capital, lies leisurely here.
This is a peaceful paradise for the rich and powerful, but it is a gold-selling cave that ordinary people can't stand. Even so, there are people here who are drunk and dreaming every night.
Not long after Chen Mu arrived at the agreed point, Fan Mansion's carriages and horses appeared on the street. Both parties found that there was more than one person in the meeting.
"Brother, is his companion disguised as a woman?"
The first time she saw Li Luo, Fan Xiaomei immediately suspected, otherwise, how could there be such a handsome and attractive man?
"Haha, it seems that Madam-in-law is very worried about Brother Teng!"
Fan Xian also recognized Li Luo's identity. Really, this most beautiful wife was so impressive.
Li Luo was not embarrassed after being discovered. Luo Luo admitted generously: "Master Xiao Fan's dazzling eyes made you laugh. It's rare for me to accompany my husband to have fun, so I hope I won't disturb your business."
"What's the business of them having fun? Madam Teng, come sit with me and leave them alone."
Fan Xiaomei was obviously confused by Li Luo's appearance, and warmly greeted the latter to ride with him. Seeing that he was embarrassed, she hurriedly explained: "My name is Fan Xiaomei, and I am also a woman."
"Go, there are no outsiders today, Brother Fan and I will act as coachmen for you."
"That's right, I just have something I want to ask Brother Teng for."
Fan Xian didn't lie when he said this, and he didn't have too many worries. Chen Mucai got on the car, and he couldn't wait to ask: "I wanted to ask this question this morning. Brother Teng has lived in the capital for a long time, but do you know of any family where the girl is extremely beautiful, but is a little thin, and also likes to eat chicken legs?"
Chen Mu was confused: Why did this man deliberately find his girl with chicken legs despite having memories of his previous life?
Of course Fan Xian did it on purpose, otherwise this love story would be too boring. He even planned to add some more popular plots than the original.
"Brother Fan said it was your sweetheart?"
"It's not just in my heart, it's in my bones."
"There are countless beauties in the capital. What you said is too subjective. Do you have any more specific clues?"
"She likes to eat chicken legs."
Chen Mu pretended to think, and the two of them answered questions and unknowingly arrived at the Fireworks Lake.
