Bai Shizhong is a very face-loving person. If it weren't for Li Qi, a chef who behaves in a maverick way, he might not even have a servant this morning. After all, this is not an honorable thing.

However, before he came, he never thought that Bai Qian would fall in love with Li Qi. Although he was annoyed, there was nothing he could do about Li Qi, and he knew that even without Bai Qian, Li Qi would fight to the death with Wang Fu.

The most important thing is that he also saw the shadows of Liang Shicheng and Gao Qiu in Li Qi, so he had some expectations for Li Qi

If Li Qi can really bring down Wang Fu, it will be a great thing. Then, if he does a favor and marries Bai Qian to Li Qi, he will undoubtedly have a powerful helper around him. On the contrary, he can also take advantage of this

, to add insult to injury, I have to say, his calculation is really a beauty.

However, he didn't know that his wife had seen this thousands of years ago. Li Qi now doubted whether what happened last night was arranged by that elusive woman.

In business, although Li Qi made a major breakthrough, he was involved in another whirlpool. Last night, he really thought about taking Bai Qianyuan away and not caring about anything. However, Jingkang's shame made him think again.

He has to stay, because there are many people here who are worthy of him staying

Resigning yourself to fate is not his style. He is already weighing the strengths of all parties in his mind. Since either party is a traitor, it doesn't matter whether they are loyal or traitorous. What he has to do is to choose the one that suits him best.

He now feels that Zhao Jingyan's words are very reasonable. There is only one way to eradicate these moths, which is to be more treacherous than them. Loyal ministers under the rule of a faint king generally have no good results. History has proven this very well.

afternoon

Bai Qian slept until midnight, then lazily climbed out of bed. She pulled her hair up to look more mature, and her dignity also showed that she was now a woman.

After lunch, she followed Li Qi to tour the manor. Although she had been there many times before, this time, she was visiting her new home like a host, so her mood was naturally different.

The two of them were laughing and having fun all the way

After visiting the entire manor, Li Qi and Bai Qian went to the pavilion in the backyard to take a short rest.

"Brother Li, has my father been here this morning?" Bai Qian suddenly glanced at Li Qi anxiously and asked.

Li Qi was stunned and said with a smile: "Did you listen to what those servants said?"

Bai Qian nodded.

"Yes, your father has indeed been here. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just wanted to talk about it later so as not to disturb your mood." Li Qi nodded and smiled.

"Brother Li, I don't blame you."

Bai Qian shook her head anxiously. Seeing that Li Qi didn't mind, she asked again, "What did my father say?"

"Your father said---"

Li Qi deliberately made a long note and glanced at Bai Qian secretly. Seeing the nervous look on her face, he knew that she actually respected her father very much. He smiled and said: "Your father said that he would let you play here in peace for a few days.

Let me take good care of you."

"ah?"

Bai Qian was stunned, pouted and said: "Brother Li, you are making me happy again. My father will not say such things."

Li Qi said sternly: "How could I lie to you? If your father had not allowed it, would I still be able to stand in front of you now?"

Bai Qian heard what he said made sense, and couldn't help but wonder: "Then how did you convince my father?"

"Persuasion? Do you think your father is too domineering?"

Li Qi chuckled and said: "Uncle Bai knows his son-in-law very well, and he fell in love with me at a glance. He insisted on me being his son-in-law. He was just discussing the betrothal gift with me. I don't know how enthusiastic he is. I am so enthusiastic."

This is the first time I have seen my father-in-law who wants to marry off his daughter so much. We had such a pleasant conversation. If he hadn't been busy, he would have stayed here for lunch."

In fact, what he said was half true and half false. He was indeed discussing the betrothal gift with Bai Shizhong just now, but the betrothal gift was a bit big. He was the prime minister of the dynasty, and ordinary people really couldn't afford it.

Bai Qian listened to his talk and knew that he didn't want to say it. She thought, if he is willing to tell me, he will naturally tell me. If he doesn't want to say it, it must be for my own good. In this case, why should I bother?

After asking and figuring this out, she felt a lot more relaxed, but she still couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said: "My dad loves me so much. If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't be in a hurry."

Marry me to Daming Mansion"

Li Qi laughed and said no more

Just then, Lu Meimei and Ma Qiao, an extremely incompetent bodyguard, came over.

"Master Li, Bai Niang"

Lu Meimei saluted the two of them, while Ma Qiao, who always showed no distinction between superiority and inferiority, nodded his head as a greeting.

Li Qi had long been used to it and said with a smile: "In the future, when no one is around, don't call me Bai Niang. Call Mrs. Li and come and listen."

When Bai Qian heard this, she felt ashamed and happy in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Lu Niang, don't listen to him."

Lu Meimei nodded and said: "Yes, Mrs. Li"

Bai Qian was stunned, her face flushed with embarrassment, but her heart was even more filled with joy!

I didn't expect that Lu Meimei is usually stern, but she is quite decent.

Li Qi laughed, took out a ingot of silver from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "Take it to make better clothes."

Lu Meimei hurriedly waved: "Master Li, I can't ask for this. How can I ask for your money if you give me and my senior brother food and accommodation?"

This junior sister is really stupid. Ma Qiao was watching anxiously. He also wanted Lu Meimei to dress better.

Li Qi smiled and said: "You helped me a lot this morning. You deserve this silver. And I will also give you a reward every month in the future. You must remember that silver is the driving force for progress."

, it's your turn to take it, so don't be polite, otherwise others will look at you as a fool." As he said this, he glanced at Ma Qiao again.

Ma Qiao felt quite embarrassed to be looked at by Li Qi, and thought to himself, how does he know what I am thinking?

After talking about this, Lu Meimei could not refuse to take Yin Lai and said: "Thank you, Master Li."

"Um---Master Li, actually I really need some motivation to move forward." Ma Qiao rubbed his hands and chuckled. He wasn't very interested in silver, but he also wanted to dress better so as not to get involved with him in time.

Lu Meimei stood together, humiliating her

"you?"

Li Qi glanced at him angrily and said, "Just forget it. So far, nothing you have done has satisfied me."

"Master Li, what you said is wrong. Anyway, I let you do that for a few nights," Ma Qiao said anxiously.

Sweating! Why do these words sound so evil?

Li Qi glared at him and said, "Can you speak more clearly? What do you mean by those nights? Aren't you making people misunderstood?"

Ma Qiao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and said, "We are going to Bai Mansion, don't you remember?"

Bai Qian was stunned and said, "When have you been to my house?"

Damn, this guy is really ruthless

"No, you heard wrong, he was talking about Qin Mansion"

Li Qi smiled, hurriedly took out a piece of silver, handed it to Ma Qiao and said: "Master Ma, this silver is enough for you to visit a brothel."

"Enough, enough"

Ma Qiao happily took Yin Lai and replied subconsciously, but as soon as the words came out, he reacted and turned around to see that although Lu Meimei's face was expressionless, there was still a glimmer of fire in her eyes. He knew that Lu Meimei hated this kind of person the most.

He hurriedly explained: "Junior sister, please don't believe what he said, I have never been to that kind of place."

Lu Meimei said nothing

Ma Qiao felt even more panicked when he saw you. He glared at Li Qi angrily, handed the silver back, and said angrily: "Give it back to you, I don't want it."

Do you think my silver is so easy to get?

Li Qi secretly laughed in his heart, but with a confused expression on his face, he said: "What? It's too little. Now that the ladies have lowered the price of pork along with it, it should be enough. Besides, isn't it normal for men to visit brothels?

What are you afraid of?"

Bai Qian suddenly said: "I think this little silver is too little to go to a brothel. You can give him some more."

Li Qi gestured and replied: "This is enough, I will use it when I get back ---" After saying this, he suddenly reacted and looked at Bai Qian with an embarrassed look on his face, complaining in his heart, damn, what the hell?

He went around and said hurriedly: "Qiniang, I've only been there once, you know that."

Bai Qian curled up her little face, pursed her lips, and looked aggrieved.

Ma Qiao looked at this situation, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Li, I am with Master Li every day, and I can guarantee that he only went there once."

Huh? When did this guy get the idea? Li Qi gave him an approving look, nodded and said, "Qiniang, did you hear that? Ma Qiao won't lie."

"That is"

Ma Qiao chuckled and said, "He only went there once last month."

Li Qi nodded subconsciously and said yes.

When Bai Qian heard this, her eyebrows immediately stood up and she stared at Li Qi fiercely.

When Li Qi saw Bai Qian's face, he immediately realized that this bastard was in Yin Lao, but his psychological quality was much stronger than Ma Qiao's. He pretended to be surprised and said: "Ma Qiao, did you remember it wrong?

When have I been with you?"

Ma Qiao laughed and said: "Master Li, noble people often forget things, so they must have forgotten it."

"maybe"

Li Qi nodded and said, "Tell me, which brothel did you and I go to?"

Ma Qiao was stunned. He was really not familiar with this area at all. He might not be able to name the brothels in Yangzhou, let alone the brothels in Bianjing.

Li Qi smiled slightly and said to Lu Meimei: "Lu Niang, don't say I didn't wake you up. Dishonest men like some can never be entrusted to you for life." Then he pulled Bai Qian's hand and said: "For this
