"Madam, why do you say that?"
Liu Guangzuo turned his head in surprise and looked at his virtuous wife. He couldn't understand why his good wife would say such a thing.
While talking, Liu Guangzuo kept thinking about the past, trying to figure out if he had done anything wrong recently, if he had let his wife down in some way, otherwise why would his wife ask to leave...
But I haven't done anything to let my wife down.
The only thing he could think of that he had done to his wife was that he had taken two concubines, but that official did not take concubines, and one of them was proposed by his wife. In addition, although he had taken a concubine, he had never done anything to favor his concubine over his wife. On the contrary, he felt guilty about taking a concubine, and treated her better than before. He spent at least half of the time every month in her room, and let her make the decisions on matters in the backyard, and he did not ask about anything.
"Husband..."
Zhang spoke in a mournful tone, and shook her head as she looked at Liu Guangzuo, her eyes filled with reluctance, sadness, and many other complex emotions.
"Madam, if I have done anything wrong, please tell me and I will change it. I have been with you through thick and thin until today, so how could I let you down?" Liu Guangzuo stepped forward and bowed.
“Brother Zuo… I don’t want to see your head and body separated at Caishikou…” Zhang called out the nickname and then burst into tears.
"Madam, you are having a nightmare. Don't cry. I'm fine." Liu Guangzuo stepped forward to comfort her.
"Today, when I heard that my husband has been appointed as the chief inspector of the Taicang Silver Treasury, I knew that day is not far away. The Taicang Silver Treasury is complicated and involves many officials from top to bottom. The nephew of Lord Yan works there, and he has countless confidants who have served as treasury managers and clerks... Brother Zuo, you have impeached many malpractices in the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue in the past, and you did not avoid the powerful and have offended many people. Besides, my husband has always been close to Minister Li Mo, and has always been at odds with the Yan Party. Those people will watch my husband check the Taicang Silver Treasury. If he finds any problems, he will die; if he doesn't find any problems, how can my husband stay out of it? Misfortunes are unpredictable, and I can't bear to see my husband suffer in the Caishikou. I ask my husband to send me and the children back to my parents' home for the sake of our decades of marriage..." The tears in Zhang's eyes could not stop flowing.
"Madam... Alas..." Liu Guangzuo looked at the tearful madam and sighed deeply, "Madam, please let me think about it..."
Zhang was not an ordinary woman. Liu Guangzuo knew that if his wife was a man, his achievements would definitely be far greater than his own. His current achievements were inseparable from Zhang's reminders at critical moments.
Liu Guangzuo did not eat dinner, but locked himself in the study. The light in the study remained on until late at night, and was not turned off until about an hour before dawn.
Different from the depressing atmosphere in Liu Mansion, Tingyu Pavilion in Linhuai Marquis Mansion is much more relaxed.
"The Taicang Silver Vault is the national treasury, right? There must be a mountain of gold and silver in there. My son-in-law is so powerful..."
Hearing that Zhu Ping'an was going to inspect the Taicang silver vault, the little maid Baozi served food to Li Shu at the dinner table while looking at Zhu Ping'an with stars in her eyes like a fangirl.
"You silly girl, do you think it's fun to inspect the Taicang silver vault? That's a rat's nest. Even rabbits bite when they're angry, let alone a nest of rats..." Li Shu's ink-black eyes glanced at the chubby little maid with a smile, and her cherry lips curled up.
"Ah, there are rats in the treasury?" The chubby little maid was startled.
Hearing this, Li Shu rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to the little maid.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. This girl was really a typical example of a girl with big breasts and no brains. His eyes inadvertently swept across the chest of the little maid named Baozi who was serving food with her head down... Well, it seemed to be really big. This girl was only eighteen, maybe, and her breasts were at least D cup.
Do not look at anything indecent.
Zhu Ping'an muttered to himself and looked away without leaving a trace.
After taking a bath in the evening, Zhu Ping'an returned to the bedroom and found Li Shu leaning against the head of the bed, holding a picture album in her hand. Her little face was flushed, and she was biting her lips, looking intently.
Li Shu was wearing a pink gauze nightgown, which was semi-transparent. Her snow-white and plump breasts, which could be held in one hand, were faintly visible with her breathing, like snow hills on a high mountain. Her skin, as white as cream, became even whiter and more attractive under the light of the red candles. Her jet-black hair was scattered on her shoulders. Her graceful figure was half-lying on the bed like a snake, her two long legs stretched straight, and her pink and white feet were swaying playfully.
Just one look made Zhu Ping'an's heart beat fast.
Li Shu is truly a beautiful vixen.
I don’t know what kind of picture album Li Shu is looking at, but I feel curious and disgusted, but also she looks so cute that it’s heartbreaking.
Hearing Zhu Ping'an's footsteps, Li Shu realized that Zhu Ping'an was there. She hurriedly closed the album in her hand and stuffed it under the pillow. Her pretty face was as red as if she had put on a layer of rouge, and her chest was heaving. I was so scared that I was almost discovered by the stinky toad...
If a stinky toad found me secretly looking at pornographic pictures, especially those of girls... ... But I can still do that, but I don't mind the dirtiness, what if it bites me... ... Oh, I'm so embarrassed, if I hadn't had my period, I would not have looked at those dirty things if I was worried that the stinky toad would be unsatisfied and have affairs with other girls... ...
"Ahem... you've finished your shower."
Li Shu coughed, and looked up as if nothing had happened and asked a question. When she looked up, she found that Zhu Pingan's eyes were staring at her, as if they were shining.
"Hey, what are you looking at..." Li Shu stretched out her slender hands and pulled up her collar, covering the two half-exposed little cuties. Her pretty face became even redder, and she gave Zhu Ping'an a glare with a look of shame and annoyance.
"I'm watching what you are looking at. You are so engrossed." Zhu Ping'an touched the tip of his nose.
"I... I was looking at women's things, such as menstruation." Li Shu's watery eyes rolled around and she replied in panic, "Don't ask me, you're a grown man."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ping'an thought Li Shu was reading an ancient menstrual guide manual or something, and her unnatural expression was due to shyness, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"God is so unfair. He favors you boys. Unlike us girls, we have relatives visiting us once a month." Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhu Ping'an didn't ask any more questions. She glanced at Zhu Ping'an and pouted.
"Who said that? It's nothing for you relatives to come once a month. Our Uncle Chen comes every morning." Zhu Ping'an looked at Li Shu and said with a smile on his face.
"What Uncle Chen?"
Li Shu raised her head in confusion, and when she saw the smirk on Zhu Ping'an's face, she reacted immediately. Her pretty face instantly turned red. She rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an and said angrily, "You bad guy, you only know how to bully others..."
"I'm going to ignore you. I'm going to wash up."
Li Shu got out of bed with a blushing face, put the picture album under the pillow into her pajamas, and walked towards the bathroom.
