"Lord, this matter?" Magistrate Ma swallowed his saliva. If there was really such a group of people hiding in the Wu Tong Mountain, then they …He could not help but shiver. Looking at Liu Zhimo, he wondered what his master could do.
Liu Zhimo frowned, he had a plan in his mind, he told Magistrate Ma to continue guarding the yamen, and that he would make a trip back.
Magistrate Ma nodded and watched Liu Zhimo leave.
He hoped that this matter wasn"t as serious as he thought, otherwise …
When Liu Zhimo left the yamen, he adjusted his expression and quickly walked home as if nothing had happened.
Once he returned home, he immediately went to find Mr. Luo.
Mr. Luo was busy giving lessons to the children, and seeing him return with a serious face, he knew that something was wrong, so he asked him to go to the study room to wait for him. He gave the children some homework to do, then went to the study room to look for Liu Zhimo.
"What"s wrong? What happened? " Why was his expression so serious?
"Grand Master, this is a big matter."
After Mr. Luo closed the door, he sat down beside Liu Zhimo and asked him what was the matter.
What could possibly trouble him so much?
Liu Zhimo took a deep breath and told Mr. Luo everything that Wu Mei had told him.
With that, Mr. Luo"s face changed, "Is the information reliable?"
"I don"t think Wu Mei is lying, but I still need to send people to investigate, and see if it"s true or not."
This matter was of great importance and he had to investigate thoroughly.
Mr. Luo muttered to himself for a while, and got Liu Zhimo to send people to investigate later. He also needed to strengthen the defenses of the family, in case a dog jumped into a wall, the one to bear the brunt of the attack would be his family.
Liu Zhimo nodded his head and agreed.
"If this is true, you"ll be hurt." It was very possible that those people were afraid of Liu Zhimo finding out, so they simply decided to not rest until they had done something, and tried to kill Liu Zhimo, "Once the investigation is complete, I will let Xiao Ling bring the children away from Ninghua County, and return to Ox-Head Village to hide."
It was unknown how many people there were in the enemy"s camp. It would be safer if Li Qingling and the others left.
Liu Zhimo looked at Mr. Luo, telling him to follow him out.
It was good that he was here alone.
Mr. Luo shook his head, saying that he must guard here and could give him advice at any time.
He was too old to be afraid of death.
"Don"t you want to see your great-grandson born?"
Mr. Luo: "..."
"Don"t you want to see those children get married and have children?"
Mr. Luo: "..."
"You don"t want to …"
"Enough …" Mr. Luo interrupted Liu Zhimo in a slightly angry manner. He glared at him and said, "Who said that you would definitely lose your life? No matter what, we must live to see Xiao Ling and the others. "
Seeing the stubborn Mr. Luo, Liu Zhimo sighed lightly and said. Although he would do everything to survive, no one knew what the situation would be like.
Mr. Luo"s heart felt a little heavy, and for a moment, he didn"t know what to say.
In fact, he was very clear that there was no guarantee that he would be able to make it back alive if they were to fight.
It was precisely because of this that he decided to stay by Liu Zhimo"s side and help him plot things out.
"Grand Master, I want to entrust Xiao Ling and the others to you." Liu Zhimo"s expression congealed, as he looked at Mr. Luo seriously, "Only by having you by their side can I give my all to deal with those people, if … If I"m not here, with you … " With Mr. Luo as their backer, no one dared to bully them casually.
"Shut up." Mr. Luo interrupted Liu Zhimo"s words with a gloomy face, "What do you mean by no more? You have to come back alive, you hear me? If you... If he dared … So I decided that Xiao Ling would take your child and marry her, and let the child call another man a father. " Let"s see if you"re in a hurry? Aren"t you jealous?
The moment he finished speaking, Liu Zhimo"s eyes popped out, and she could not help but shout: "You dare?" Thinking about how his beloved wife had married someone else, he was so angry that he wanted to hit her, not to mention how his own child had called another man his father. "I will return safely." No matter what, he would definitely return safely to see Xiao Ling and the others.
"Why would I not dare? If you dare to not return safely, I will dare to do so. " Mr. Luo retorted lightly.
If he was angry, then so be it. If he wasn"t angry, then he would be worried in his heart.
Liu Zhimo stood up in anger and spun around a few times, like a trapped and helpless beast, clenching his teeth until it creaked.
"Grand Elder..."
"Hmm?" The more Liu Zhimo got angry, the better Mr. Luo felt.
Liu Zhimo walked to the front of Mr. Luo in large strides, lowered his head and stared at Mr. Luo for a long time before heavily sighing and sitting back down in his chair.
Seeing his expression, Mr. Luo"s heart skipped a beat.
He cleared his throat, and when Liu Zhimo looked at him, he said: "If you don"t want your wife and children to become everyone else"s, you must return safely, do you understand?" Pausing for a moment, he continued, "I believe that you will be able to return safely. You will definitely be able to do so."
Raising his head, Liu Zhimo forcefully closed his eyes. When he opened them, his eyes were firm and determined, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile and he said, "I can, I will definitely return safely."
Just using this expression, Mr. Luo satisfyingly nodded his head, he patted his shoulder, and asked him to send someone to investigate, before he knew the results, he would not let his imagination run wild.
Just now, he was just a fool, he was carried away by Liu Zhimo, and with the words being said so seriously, maybe … Maybe they were overthinking it?
Mr. Luo rubbed his hurting temples and laughed bitterly. He hoped that the situation wasn"t as serious as he had imagined, and that there was still room for improvement.
Liu Zhimo nodded towards Mr. Luo, then strode out of the study room to look for Ling Yi, asking him to arrange for people to investigate the matter.
After settling the matter, he thought for a moment before walking back to the courtyard.
He waved to Xi Chun who was just about to greet him, then quietly pushed open the door to the room. Walking to the side of the bed, he looked at Li Qingling"s beautiful sleeping face, and his tensed mood slowly relaxed.
He sat down and caressed her face. For her sake, he wanted to live a peaceful life. He couldn"t let her live a life filled with pain.
As if she had felt Liu Zhimo"s feelings, Li Qingling slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Liu Zhimo in a daze and couldn"t help but smile at him. "Husband?"
"Hmm …"
Li Qingling opened her hands up to him like a spoiled child. Liu Zhimo bent down slightly and picked her up, putting her in his arms and sitting down. One of his hands gently caressed her stomach.
Only now, did Li Qingling realize that she was not dreaming. Liu Zhimo was really back.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at Liu Zhimo in surprise. Why did he come back so early?
"It"s almost noon, is it still early?" "Has this girl fallen asleep?" Do you want breakfast? "Hmm?" Don"t tell me he didn"t eat breakfast? Had he slept until now before he went to the yamen?
Li Qingling lightly leaned against Liu Zhimo"s chest, and said tenderly, "Eat."
After breakfast, she felt very sleepy and went back to bed. She didn"t expect to sleep for so long after that.
Could she be carrying a sleeping G.o.d?
Ever since she became pregnant, she felt that no matter how much she slept, she would never be able to sleep well enough. She was extremely tired every day.
"Are you still very sleepy? Do you want to go back to sleep? " he asked gently, seeing her drooping eyelids.
She wanted to sleep all day. If her grandfather hadn"t said that it was normal, he really would have thought that she wasn"t feeling well, only then …
Li Qingling said that he was not going to sleep, she had slept for long enough, if she continued to sleep, she would scare him.
Liu Zhimo nodded, gently patting her on the back, and asked her if he wanted to eat lunch?
Li Qingling raised his head, stared at him for a long time, and asked him what happened?
Liu Zhimo"s heart skipped a beat, and he said with a natural expression, what can happen to him?
Her senses were too acute. If she was not careful, she would have been able to detect it.
It seemed like he had to act as if nothing had happened in front of her.
"Really? "Are you sure?" After so many years of mutual support, was there anything wrong with his heart? She could feel it, "Is it a matter of the yamen?" Is it not convenient to tell me? "
If he said that it was all right, she would not believe him even more. Liu Zhimo simply nodded, "It"s a matter of the yamen, I can"t leak it out."
Li Qingling nodded in understanding, and did not pursue the matter any further. He snuggled back into his embrace and let out a sigh of relief in a comfortable manner.
Seeing that she did not ask till the end, Liu Zhimo heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Li Qingling"s understanding made him moved.
He wondered how many blessings he had cultivated in his previous life before he met her in this one.
He bent down and kissed her on the lips, then asked her if she wanted to eat.
Li Qingling opened his arms and stretched out his waist, then smiled and nodded to him.
Liu Zhimo kissed her forehead again, then stood up while carrying her. He placed her on a chair, helped her wipe his face, helped her put on his shoes, and then held her hand as they walked to the outer hall, having Xi Chun bring food over.
Xi Chun replied as she quickly walked to the kitchen.
Li Qingling held his chin as he looked at Liu Zhimo, and after being stared at by her for a while, he suddenly laughed, and pinched her face, and asked her, What are you looking at?
You look good.
Liu Zhimo couldn"t help but pinch her face and ask her if she really liked that piece of skin he had.
"Of course." She nodded. "Everyone loves beauty. Looking at your face, I can eat an extra bowl of rice." Pleasant eyes, pleasing eyes.
Liu Zhimo laughed again, and shook his head lovingly, "Ah, you!" Should he be happy for her to like his skin?
Seeing that he was smiling, Li Qingling also laughed along, adding that she loved him even more.
He looked at her deeply for a moment, then said, He too.
"What are you? "Hmm?" This man is so reserved that he won"t say I love you.
He smiled without saying a word and pushed her hair back from her ears. He loved her.
If he didn"t say it, she would understand.
Li Qingling did not let him go and continued to ask him. What was he?
"You understand …"
"I don"t understand." Li Qingling shook his head, "If you tell me, I will understand."
