After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 158
"So it's Jingcheng's friend...Jingcheng is right, just order whatever you want, you young people are together, it doesn't matter if you eat and drink as much as you like."

Li Shi followed Xiaoer up to the second floor, and she heard Gu Jingcheng's voice at the door.

Of course I understood what he said.

It turned out that it was just a gathering of friends, and it wasn't just Su Xiaomu and a man. This is not here, besides his son, there is also Zhou Lin.

There is no truth to the pretentious things, and the woman who chews her tongue can't say a good word out of her mouth.

Mrs. Li scolded the old lady fiercely in her heart, and then said to the children who were all focusing on her.

"Don't worry about me. I'm just bored. I'm here to drink tea, listen to books and so on. By the way, Xiao Mu, I originally said that I'm going back today, but I don't want to finish some things, just for peace of mind. Or stay in Fucheng for a while longer."

"It's okay, mother, if you are willing to play for a few more days, it would be great for us."

Su Xiaomu's words were sincere. Apart from talking about some things, she liked Mrs. Li very much.

"Then you keep playing, mother won't bother you."

Mrs. Li is not very interested in the activities of their young people. She came here mainly to make sure that her daughter-in-law is fine. Now that she has come to a result, she will certainly not continue to block the eyes of their young people here.

It's just that Mrs. Li left simply. Although she didn't say anything just now, who among these people present is not a human being?
How could Li's implication not be understood?
Why did she come here to drink tea and listen to books? She clearly heard some rumors outside and came here to investigate.

Wanting to understand this, Su Xiaomu wasn't angry, and didn't even feel anything.

It's like this in this era, and they are extremely harsh on ordinary women, let alone a woman with a family like her?
It's just that she just figured it out, when Lou Qi shook off Gu Jingcheng and took his hand, and then spoke to Gu Jingcheng with a cold face, the tone of the speech was extremely mocking and angry.

"Your mother shouldn't insult Miss Su like this, and shouldn't doubt her loyalty to your family."

After Lou Qi finished speaking, he looked back at the gloomy Su Xiaomu, and his tone softened a little.

"You should be an eagle soaring in the sky. You should live in the boundless and vast sky, instead of locking yourself in his backyard. Even when you go out to chat with others, you have to look at other people's faces. On such a day, do you really Are you going to live, and live comfortably?"

It has to be said that at a certain moment Su Xiaomu felt that Lou Qi could speak.

Every word he said seems to make sense, but if you listen carefully, you will find that none of his words are convincing.

"We only talk about business." Su Xiaomu stopped him from continuing.

"Besides, to me, our relationship has not yet reached the point where we can worry about each other's affairs. Mr. Lou has also read a lot of books on the Central Plains, so he must know that there is a famous saying in our Central Plains."

"you are not a fish, how to know the joy of fish?"

Su Xiaomu looked into his eyes and said word by word: "Now the business is over, I have nothing else to do and I will leave first."

"Ms. Su must be like this? Don't you have the slightest thought of saving yourself?"

Lou Qi still looked at Su Xiaomu in disbelief. If it wasn't for her husband in name, he would have grabbed her arm and asked her why.

Lou Qi tried his best to restrain his impulse, his strange eyes flashed a trace of injury: "I am really worried about Mrs. Su."

"Mr. Lou has overstepped."

Su Xiaomu reminded him again: "My business is only related to Mr. Lou's wine business. Apart from that, I don't want to mention anything else to Mr. Lou."

Su Xiaomu has always firmly believed in one thing, no matter who the partner is when doing business, it is necessary to distinguish between public and private.

If it can't be done, this is a taboo in the industry.

Although she never thought of herself as a rule-abiding person, in a way, she put an end to and rejected everything that would affect her earning money.

When the three of them came out of the restaurant, Zhou Lin saw that the two of them had a strange atmosphere, so he consciously didn't want to be a light bulb, and left after saying goodbye to them at the door.

Zhou Lin always had a smile on his face when he spoke, and Su Xiaomu knew the reason not to hit a smiling face with his hand, so he said goodbye to him very politely.

It's just... Gu Jingcheng, when he went back, he followed Su Xiaomu all the time, his mouth opened and closed, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Although they were walking on the street, Su Xiaomu still felt that the atmosphere was very depressing.

She couldn't see the faces of the people passing her around, or even hear what they were saying in her ear.

The noise of the market, the laughter and conversation of people coming and going, none of them can be heard.

However, she heard Gu Jingcheng sighing behind her.

Probably unable to take it any longer, Su Xiaomu stopped and dragged Gu Jingcheng into an alley.

"What's the matter with you..."

"My mother's matter..."

The two of them spoke together. Although Su Xiaomu was still annoyed, his anger stopped for a moment: "You go ahead."

In fact, she didn't even need to listen to guess what he would say, it was nothing more than a few words of apology for Mrs. Li.

But for this matter, Su Xiaomu is not going to blame Li Shi, or she can't blame anyone.

These many mistakes can only be blamed on this era in the final analysis.

"My mother is not the kind of person who will doubt people casually. There must be something hidden about what happened today, and she usually likes you so much, she knows better than you, she treats you..."

Gu Jingcheng paused for a while and then said: "These days, I think she likes you more than me."

"Of course I know that she treats me well, so I don't plan to blame her for this matter. I also believe that there is a reason for what you said, so let's just pretend that what happened today didn't happen, and no one will talk about it in the future, okay?"

Since Su Xiaomu has made up her mind to come out to do business, she knows that she will bear some things sooner or later.

Lou Qi is not the first male business partner she cooperates with, and it will definitely not be the last.

After saying that, Su Xiaomu walked out of the alley one step ahead of him.

But Su Xiaomu ended the matter with such a straightforward attitude, Gu Jingcheng didn't feel at ease at all.

On the contrary, he was very scared now that Su Xiaomu would really listen to what the man said, would leave him, and end the already fragile relationship between the two of them.

Gu Jingcheng was worried all the way.

Mrs. Li bought a lot of vegetables on the way back, and Aunt Zhao didn't come over to cook these days.

On the one hand, Su Xiaomu intended to give her a vacation, and on the other hand, it was difficult for Aunt Zhao to cook because Mrs. Li was here.
