Chapter 409 Acting

Qiu Wuhen entered the door, quickly changed into clean shoes, socks and clothes, and sat in front of an open window. However, there was a corridor in front of this window, so the rain would not fall in, but it felt very cool and comfortable.

.

"Cousin, have you had dinner?"

A beautiful woman wearing a moon-white robe and a ponytail came forward with tea and asked with a smile.

"Not yet, come here to have some food. Do you have anything to eat?" Qiu Wuhen looked at the smiling woman and said.

"Of course I do. Let Lei Mu have a few drinks with you. You haven't had a drink together for a long time, right?"

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said, "What you are wearing is too plain. You are young, so it is better to wear something brighter."

"My wife often says that when you are at home, you should only wear what you like, and when you go out, wear what others like."

After saying this, both of them felt a little embarrassed.

There were footsteps behind him. Just as he went to pick up Qiu Wuhen, Lei Mu's robe was also wet. The wind and rain were too strong and the umbrella could not block the rain at all, so he went to change clothes.

When Jin Xiyan saw her husband coming in, she walked over, still smiling.

"Ms. sir, why don't you have a few drinks with your cousin? This weather is perfect for drinking."

Lei Mu glanced at his wife tenderly. When the two passed by, he stretched out his hand and touched his wife's wrist unintentionally. It was just a moment. Both of their faces were exposed.

There was a look of understanding on each other's faces.

Qiu Wuhen naturally saw this look. These were small gestures between husband and wife. He and Su Jinsong often did this in the past.

Thinking of this, Qiu Wuhen's heart felt as if someone had pinched him hard, and he couldn't help but frown.

After all, Lei Mu was engaged in intelligence work, and he was constantly scheming with people all day long. It was natural that he would get used to it. Qiu Wuhen's expression just passed by him still caught his eye.

The two of them sat facing each other in front of the window. Because of the rain, the room did not feel stuffy, but rather very cool.

Soon, while the two of them were chatting, Jin Xiyan and a few maids put the food and wine on the table.

Qiu Wuhen found that there were several dishes that he liked to eat on weekdays. They could be prepared in such a short time. It seemed that Jin Xiyan, the wife of the commander of the Jin Yiwei, was really powerful.

Qiu Wuhen smiled and said to Jin Xiyan: "Are your families always prepared for me to come over and have a meal?" After speaking, he pointed at the dishes on the table.

Jin Xiyan also smiled and looked at Lei Mu. Then she said: "Cousin, don't forget? I have lived in your house for three years. These three years? Although you are often not at home? But my wife is

I found a lot of good cooks in restaurants in the capital and went to my house to teach the ladies in the kitchen, and I learned how to do it at that time."

Before Qiu Wuhen could say anything, Lei Mu saw Qiu Wuhen's expression stern and said to his wife, "Why don't you go and do your work? The Duke of Guo and I will have a drink."

Although Jin Xiyan and Lei Mu are already married? But Lei Mu still respectfully calls Qiu Wuhen the Duke of the country, and does not call him cousin with Jin Xiyan. Qiu Wuhen knows Lei Mu's character and knows that he does not want to

It made people think that he was trying to have a relationship with him, so he didn't care.

"My lord? I heard... Madam is sick again?" Lei Mu poured wine for Qiu Wuhen and said seemingly unintentionally.

Qiu Wuhen nodded, looked at the heavy rain outside, and said, "Lei Mu? Do you think...should I let my wife leave the capital for a while, otherwise everyone will suffer." After saying that, he picked up the wine in the glass.

Drink it all in one gulp.

"What did the second lady say?" Lei Mu asked

Qiu Wuhen glanced at Lei Mu: "What does it have to do with her?"

Lei Mu smiled? He also glanced at Qiu Wuhen? That look made Qiu Wuhen a little uncomfortable.

He put down the wine glass in his hand. When he put it down, his voice was a little loud, as if he was a little angry.

"Sir, do you like Wang Hanyu?" Lei Mu actually called the Duke's second wife by her first name. This was very impolite and also a bit provocative.

"Are you and Xiyan both blaming me?"

Neither of them answered the other's question, but asked a new question.

Lei Mu chuckled and filled Qiu Wuhen's empty wine glass again. This was Jin Xiyan's own sophora flower wine. It smelled very fragrant, but the wine had a slight bitter taste in the mouth, just like Qiu Wuhen at this moment.

Traces of heart.

"I don't like other women, do you believe it?" Qiu Wuhen finally answered Lei Mu's question.

"I believe it, so neither Xiyan nor I will blame you."

He actually said that he believed in himself, and Qiu Wuhen looked at Lei Mu in surprise.

"Besides, isn't it normal for men to have three wives and four concubines? We don't dote on our concubines and destroy our wives. They have no reason to act rude and messy."

Lei Mu's words were a bit harsh. It sounded like he was very dissatisfied with Su Jinsong, and even reflected his wife Jin Xiyan.

Qiu Wuhen stared at Lei Mu for a long time, then suddenly said: "Are you from the Supreme Emperor?"

Lei Mu was about to take the chopsticks to pick up the peanuts, the best companion of wine, but when he heard this, his hands paused slightly, but he still picked up the peanuts firmly and put it in his mouth to chew.

stand up.

"Yes." Lei Mu's voice was very calm, without any fluctuation.

"Are you going to ask the Supreme Emperor to reset him when he comes back?"

After a long while, Lei Mu put down the chopsticks in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Qiu Wuhen, and said: "Master Guo, didn't you just ask if you should let the madam leave for a while? I think about it, let the madam leave for a while.

During the time, I think Xiyan stayed with her, they have always been very friendly, what do you think?"

"Can I believe it?"

"If I couldn't, I wouldn't have given up everything to marry your cousin. Besides, you can't really be your cousin."

The air in the room suddenly seemed to freeze, and the two people seemed to have stopped breathing.

"Does Xiyan know?"

Of course, Qiu Wuhen asked about his true relationship with Imperial Physician Jin.

Lei Mu shook his head and said: "My lord, why do you think I asked to marry Xiyan?"

Qiu Wuhen chuckled, and the two of them continued drinking.

"At that time, I was also very confused as to why you suddenly said you wanted to get married after being single for so long, and you were a girl who others might make irresponsible remarks about. I know you were under a lot of pressure."

Lei Mu chuckled twice, as if he was worried that someone outside the door would hear him, but in fact he could not, because the doors and windows were open, the maids had left, and besides the sound of rain outside, it was also very loud.

He lowered his voice and said, "Actually, as long as the emperor doesn't object, nothing will be a problem."

Qiu Wuhen looked at Lei Mu.

Lei Mu added: "Although he was only King Yin back then, but..."

What else didn't Qiu Wuhen understand? He smiled bitterly, followed by a long sigh.

"Did you deliberately prevent Xi Yan from getting pregnant? Why?"

Lei Mu smiled bitterly and said: "We are still young. I'm afraid that if Madam and Xiyan are not safe, the child will be a drag and worry."

"You really love her, unlike me." Qiu Wuhen's voice suddenly became hoarse.

"Haha, Duke Guo, in fact you are just acting."

Qiu Wuhen looked at Lei Mu's handsome and young face again. He was no longer young, he was already thirty years old, but Lei Mu was younger than him. Even if he was not a few years younger, in Qiu Wuhen's eyes

, even if he is only one year younger, he is still very enviable.

"Do you think the emperor will let Xiaosong and Xiyan go?"

"I'm thinking that this matter has made Madam exhausted physically and mentally. You didn't tell me in advance, but you just know Madam's character, and I can't play a show with you that will make the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor suspicious. Now, although Madam has eaten

It took some pains, but I think it was worth it.”

"How about I find a way for you to go with them?" Qiu Wuhen asked.

Lei Mu smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"As soon as I leave, the Emperor will become suspicious. Now there are not only Jin Yiwei, but also people from the East Factory and West Factory watching. The Emperor is our check and balance on each other. He will not really trust anyone. He is also afraid that there is a Supreme Emperor among us.

After all, he doesn't have the ability to clean up the entire court and harem. He can't sleep at night, and he is also thinking very hard, but what if..."

Lei Mu did not continue speaking, but Qiu Wuhen knew what Lei Mu meant. He still remembered the words he and the emperor said on the roof of the palace that night. At that time, he knew that one day, this

The people around the emperor will either continue to prosper, or they will stay here and be buried together.

The emperor asked him to leave, but how did he leave? He was a first-class Duke. Even if the emperor gave him a border official, it would only be a second-class official. He did not want to embarrass the emperor because the emperor was surrounded by people.

There are not many people that the emperor trusts and respects. Once he leaves, others may immediately become suspicious.

So, the emperor gave himself a woman, which made his backyard uneasy, made him unable to help but have a rift with the emperor, and then asked the emperor to demote him in anger, so that he would have reason to drive him away.

We will never see each other again in eternity.

Su Jinsong knew nothing about this matter. Both he and the emperor knew her character and knew that she would definitely cause trouble. The woman who had lived in a small place since she was a child was getting better and better day by day after marrying him.

Well, she has forgotten her previous sufferings. There are people at home to worry about her, and she has no worries about food and clothing. The most important thing is that she is devoted to her, the backyard is very clean, her best friends, such as the queen, and Fu Tianyuan

The wife, and her adoptive mother An Yiru, their husbands all have wives and concubines, but she is the only one who will not be upset by this matter.

However, just because of this, Qiu Wuhen knew that the arrival of a woman was like a drop of cold water dropped into a hot oil pan, causing flowers to explode immediately.

He actually felt very uncomfortable, but he also knew that the emperor was helping him and the family, and he would not really be angry with Su Jinsong. They did not tell Su Jinsong because they knew that she was very simple and kind-hearted, so they told her
