Chapter 34
"of course not!"
Lu Shangxuan quickly replied.
"Then Mr. Lu, just sit down and eat more, and stop walking around."
Seeing this, Lu Shangxuan didn't know that he had offended Lord Shangshu. His face turned pale, but he did not dare to say anything and could only sit down.
Dou Lianyi didn't even bother to give him a look, and just followed Lin Shangshu away.
Next to her stood Qin Mu, and the two seemed to match each other unexpectedly, as if they were a perfect match.
Lu Shangxuan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. He picked up the wine glass and followed the officials who came to toast and chatted happily. However, the corner of his eye never moved away from their backs for a moment.
His subordinates had previously reported that they had seen the young lady chatting happily with a handsome young man in a street shop, but he had not taken it to heart at first.
Unexpectedly, the meeting today made Lu Shangxuan feel more and more unhappy the more he thought about it.
Regardless of whether he has feelings for Dou Lianyi or not, he will not allow anyone to try to get his hands on his things.
It happened that a short-sighted official came over at this time, deliberately picked up the wine glass and sneered at Lu Shangxuan: "I don't know that Mr. Lu has such a broad mind, but he can still calm down when he sees that his wife is so close to Mr. Qin. , He is indeed a person who can accomplish great things."
Lu Shangxuan's face froze, and he glanced at the other person to avoid getting angry. After all, he was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the people around the emperor would have to endure even if they had the guts to do so.
"Haha," Lu Shangxuan raised his wine glass with a smile, and responded: "Master Manager, please don't say this nonsense. This is an honor given to my wife by Master Shangshu. No one else can ask for it."
"Really? It would be best if Mr. Lu thinks this way, I'm afraid that what he thinks in his heart is not what he says."
Seeing that Lu Shangxuan's expression was as usual, with nothing unusual, the head of the House of Internal Affairs sneered, toasted with a glass of wine, and then turned and left.
Not far away, Dou Lianyi took advantage of Lin Shangshu to leave for a while, raised his wine glass to cover his mouth, and asked Qin Mu in a low voice: "Why did you appear in Shangshu's mansion?"
"Is this surprising? I am a businessman after all, and I will naturally do things that can make me a profit."
Qin Mu didn't hide anything and responded with a generous smile.
"I don't know that Mr. Qin has such good means. He can even find the world-famous miracle doctor Sai. Why don't you teach me?"
"It's easy to talk about. If it were anyone else, I would never agree. If it were Miss Dou who asked you, I would definitely tell you everything."
That sincere look made Dou Lianyi unable to find fault for a moment, and could only curse secretly in her heart.
However, no matter how annoying Qin Mu's performance was, at least Dou Lianyi couldn't help but admire the way he dealt with major officials with ease.
He could even chat with the passing maids and servants, and after a while, he seemed to have taken control of the whole place.
Later, Shangshu Lin even went back to the house to accompany his wife. Dou Lianyi looked at Qin Mu who was not far away and had become the host of the banquet, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What are you doing, Miss Dou, hiding here alone?"
Just when Dou Lianyi was wondering whether she could sneak back home first or take this opportunity to inquire about something with Qin Mu, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her, almost making her jump.
Who would have thought that Qin Mu was chatting and laughing with the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs not long ago, and then suddenly appeared behind her the next second.
"What on earth does Mr. Qin do? Why does he always walk without making any sound!"
Dou Lianyi scolded him with some dissatisfaction, causing Qin Mu to chuckle softly, as if he found it very interesting.
"When traveling in the world, you have to have some skills, otherwise you won't be bullied."
"Who dares to bully you, Mr. Qin? Wouldn't that mean he is going against the entire Shangshu Mansion?" Dou Lianyi deliberately mocked him.
Qin Mu didn't care at all. Instead, he handed over the tea cup in his hand and said, "I just ate so many sweets without stopping for one bite. Let's drink a cup of tea to relieve our tiredness."
Hearing this, Dou Lianyi's face turned slightly red, and she snatched the tea in embarrassment, not forgetting to glare at Qin Mu.
How did she know that the other party would always pay attention to her.
After Dou Lianyi took a sip of tea, Qin Mu said slowly: "Although I am just a businessman, I can get the protection of Shangshu Mansion, so why is Miss Dou, the daughter of Prime Minister Dou, still being bullied by her husband? ?”
He paused, as if he didn't notice Dou Lianyi's expression suddenly darkening, and continued to ask curiously: "What's more, Miss Dou's husband is just a prince who cannot succeed to the throne. With all due respect, this is really a bit disturbing. Incomprehensible.”
"You investigate me!"
Hearing this, Dou Lianyi finally couldn't bear it anymore. She clenched the tea cup in her hand and looked at Qin Mu with guarded eyes for the first time.
For some reason, Qin Mu felt slightly uncomfortable when he saw the vigilance in Dou Lianyi's eyes.
For this reason, he even patiently explained: "Miss Dou, there is no need to panic. It's not that I intend to investigate you. It's just that I am a businessman and am always used to taking the initiative. I actually have no ill intentions towards you."
Lu Shangxuan, who had been paying attention to this place, saw that the two people seemed to have a conflict, so he walked over quickly and hugged Dou Lianyi's waist.
Then he said to Qin Mu sternly: "Mr. Qin, although you are a distinguished guest of Lord Shangshu, Lianyi is my wife. Please stop making unnecessary harassment."
Dou Lianyi only felt that the temperature coming from her waist made her feel sick. She frowned and tried to get away, but was tightly restrained by Lu Shangxuan, unable to move for a while.
"What Mr. Lu said is really interesting."
Qin Mu's eyes fell lightly on Lu Shangxuan's face, and then glanced at his hand holding Dou Lianyi, and said softly: "I originally thought that Mr. Lu and his wife had no feelings at all, but I didn't expect it. When I saw it today, I realized it was not the case."
"Who said that there is no emotion between me and Lianyi? Such words are simply ridiculous!"
Lu Shangxuan responded with some disdain.
Dou Lianyi couldn't help but flip her wrist, and the silver needle flashed between her fingers.
If Lu Shangxuan doesn't let go, don't blame her for being rude!
"In that case, Xiao Ding."
Qin Mu waved, and a young boy trotted over from a short distance away, bending down respectfully to wait for his master's order.
Qin Mu turned his head and gave an almost silent instruction in Xiao Ding's ear.
"Yes, master."
Xiao Ding took the order and left quickly.
"Master Qin, what are you doing?"
Lu Shangxuan felt uneasy and frowned, really unsure of Qin Mu's behavior.
"It's just a small experiment," Qin Mu arched his eyebrows and said with a chuckle, "Master Lu will know about it soon."
