Ideals are plump, reality is bony.

The scenario they envisioned did not occur.

Xu Pingru's eyes just rolled and didn't follow the conversation down.

She just said faintly, "Thank you, Mr. Feng for your kind words, allow me to think about it and talk about it later!"

Li Mu cursed in his heart, what kind of set up is this, what does it mean to say it later?

What are you thinking about? You just want the Wu-Teng branch?

Just say it and be done with it!

This girl must be up to something? When a woman rolls her eyes, it's not meant to be good!

If people don't mention this, it's not good for this party to make things clear, we can't just say to them, "Come on, girl, let's swap!"

Li Mu passed a look to Lin Wan, who secretly tugged on Sister Hong's clothes.

This is the code word they agreed on beforehand, which means, this bitch has a lot of ghost ideas, don't bullshit with her, hurry up and withdraw!

Sister Hong pretended to exchange a few more pleasantries and got up to offer her farewell.

Xu Pingru hurriedly said, "Mr. Feng is an honored guest, so stay in the clan for a few more days! It's also good to let me do my duty as a landlord."

If there hadn't been the abnormal behavior before, in order to get the mica crystals, sister-in-law Hong might have been able to really agree to live in the Bright Wheel Sect, but now, she wouldn't dare to agree to it.

Red sister-in-law is how resourceful person, she has long sensed that things are not right, this girl is not easy to deal with, this is her home turf, say anything not to stay here.

After making up this idea, red sister-in-law resolutely excused herself, Xu Pingru had no choice but to get up to see them off, and kept sending the three out of the cave.

As the two sides were about to part ways, Xu Pingru opened her mouth and asked, "How long does Mr. Feng intend to stay, and if he is not in a hurry to leave, could you tell me the place where he is staying, and I will visit you on another day."

Sister-in-law Hong responded with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry to leave, so I'll be staying in the nearby marketplace for a while, I'm staying at the Rising Sun Inn on East Street, I'd be honored if Miss visits."

Xu Pingru gave an oh-so-suddenly asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking you, sir, what is the relationship between Mu Ma and you?"

Sister Hong didn't expect her to ask this question and froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Without giving it much thought, Li Mu hurriedly picked up, "I'm a milkmaid!"

Xu Pingru's shoulders began to shake chaotically, forcibly holding back her laughter, and even Sister Hong couldn't help herself, hastily arching her hand in farewell and fleeing as if she had left Yi Zhufeng Peak.

When the crowd was far away, Xu Pingru laughed indulgently.

Another maid asked in surprise, "Miss, what's wrong with you today, why do you always want to laugh?"

Xu Pingru pointed in the direction where the crowd had left.

"That, that wooden mom is Li Mu, also known as Li Zixuan, I can read eyes, his eyes can't fool me."

The maid ah'd and said in surprise, "So he's Li Mu, how come he's dressed up as an old woman and says he's a nanny, puff..."

The little maid laughed along with her.

After laughing for a while, he suddenly remembered something, "Oops, Miss, you said he's Li Mu, wouldn't he be the one delivering the fake medicine, we should detain them."

Xu Pingru stopped laughing and rebuked her, "Don't talk nonsense, people send real medicine, I personally verified it, it can't be wrong, the problem should appear within the clan, it has nothing to do with others, not only nothing, they are still our benefactor which!"

The maid said in horror, "Miss, what are you talking about, it's our internal problem, why didn't you, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Xu Pingru immediately stopped,"Do not yell, this matter is of great importance, which can be easily said in the open, I am secretly investigating, you do not leak half the wind, and no one to say."

The maid spat out her tongue and responded in a low voice, "Don't worry miss, I'm clear."

Xu Pingru clapped her hands, "Alright, let's not point out his identity, he's now Li Zixuan, those words are obviously reminding me that he still has the Wu Teng branch in his hand, there's sort of hope for the old ancestor's injury."

The little maid followed suit and rejoiced, immediately chiming in, "Congratulations miss, it's really true that if you want to sleep someone will send you a pillow, the old ancestor will definitely be cured."

Xu Pingru laughed, "Well, it will definitely be, but well, we might as well whet his appetite, we can't be swayed by him, the development of the whole thing must be controlled by me."

Can't help but laugh again at that, "That's funny, Nanny, how dare you."

The master and servant laughed again, sweeping away their past sorrows.

Li Mu and the others returned to the guest room, Sister Hong looked at her aunt with a smile and said in a greasy voice, "Nurse, I want to eat milk!"

Little Brother Li grinned and lifted up his shirt, yelling, "Come on! Eat each other, you eat mine, I'll eat yours, let's see who can sip milk."

Sister Hong covered her face with her hands, and Niang Lin's pink fist had already reached Little Brother Li's face.

A good beating, beating the little brother Li cried and wailed, holding his head and scurrying.

At the end of the day, Niang Lin grabbed him by the ear and asked coldly, "Whose milk do you want to eat?"

"Look at you, I'm not kidding, with you around, whose milk would I dare take?"

"It's good to know, you two stop fooling around and tell me, what does Xu Pingru's move mean?"

Li Mu patted Sister Hong's shoulder.

"What does the gentleman say?"

Sister Hong laughed, "I'm not sure what it means, but Auntie's disguise should have been recognized by her."

Lin Wan frowned and said, "This matter is rather strange, the Lin family's disguise art is not dare to say it's unrivaled in the world, but it's also one of the top levels, how did she see it, why did she only see through him, but not us?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately jumped up old and grabbed Li Mu's ear again.

"Tell me honestly, are you having an affair with that goblin, tell me!"

Li Mu was annoyed, "You're an idiot, aren't you, I don't even know her, I just met her for the first time today, can you not go crazy?"

Shen Xingyue chimed in, "Brother Mu has been with us all along, he shouldn't have had the chance to get to know her, Xiaowan, don't casually accuse him wrongly."

Sister Hong also advised, "Xiao Wan stop, let's reminisce together."

Lin Wan let go of Li Mu's ear and said with a frown, "She keeps meeting her husband's eyes again, ah, I know, it's the eyes, the eyes can't be disguised, she's seen his eyes, he and that girl must have met before."

Saying that, he went to grab Li Mu's ear again.

Li Mu blocked her hand and said unhappily, "You've already found the answer, and you're still here to abuse me, abusive addiction isn't it?"

"What answer did I find?"

"Idiot, when something as big as fake medicine happens, she'll definitely want to track down the source of the Wu Teng branch, and with this investigation, won't it be on my head, Zhou Tian must have shown her my portrait, and it's assumed that she's already guessed that I'm Li Zi Xuan."

Lin Wan exclaimed, "What a powerful Xu Pingru, to be able to recognize authenticity through the eyes, what kind of art is this, why haven't I heard of it before."

Li Mu hemmed and hawed and said with great meaning, "The arts of the world, how vast and profound, there are too many arts we don't know, this girl really does have some doors, this time, we are considered to be planted."

Lin Wan pestered up again and said unhappily, "Hubby, this time, I disguised you as an old woman, how come I still can't avoid trouble, you said, what should I do with you in the future?"

Shen Xingyue comforted, "Xiao Wan, don't say that, those who can read eyes are after all a minority, this time it was just a coincidence, I do think, this is a good idea, we can continue to let Brother Mu play the role of a nanny."

Li Mu grinned and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Everyone, come back! Let me pretend to be an old house slave, okay, I don't mind pretending to be an old and ugly old man, you guys don't have to make me pretend to be a milkmaid anymore, it's too embarrassing."

Lin Wan's eyes twinkled, "That depends on your performance, if you have a way to solve the dilemma at hand, I can guarantee that I will no longer dress you up as a nanny."

Reimu held out his hand, "Okay, a deal?"

Lin Wan clapped palms with him, "A team of horses!"

Li Mu came to a fighting spirit and said seriously, "Although that little bitch has recognized me, but it doesn't matter, let's ride the donkey and see, I don't believe that she doesn't want the Wu Teng branch."

Lin Wan sighed, "It seems that our identities have been exposed, and her current actions are nothing more than a desire to compete with us for patience."

Li Mu sneered, "So what, if she wants to play, we'll play with her, anyway, we don't have any patients here, patience-wise, we can afford to spend it."

"I'm afraid she'll use force and force us to hand over the Wu Teng branch."

"That's a problem, this is her home turf, and there's really nothing we can do in case she decides to do that."

Several people became serious, carefully mulling over the pros and cons, analyzing the opponent's next step, what action will be taken?

Lin Wan asked, "Hubby, what do you think, what is Xu Pingru planning?"

Li Mu responded, "I can't say exactly what the intentions are, but one thing is for sure, her father needs the Wu Teng branch to heal his injuries, and she has no reason to let us leave."

"Which means she's just trying to whet our appetites now?"

"Yes, it's really not too easy to tell what she wants to do, but one thing can be concluded, whether it's by trickery or by hoax, she will definitely contact us, and we'll just wait patiently."

Sister Hong suggested, "The next time we meet, Auntie may not have to show up, just hide in the inner room and listen to the fun, and let Xiaowan and I deal with her."

Lin Wan nodded slightly, and Li Mu didn't have any objections, only saying, "There's no problem with me not showing up, but well, there can't be any less of a role for Mummy."

"So what do you suggest?"

"When we meet again, there must be a wooden mother present, and without that person, wouldn't it be an admission that we're weak-minded, so let Star Moon step in, as long as she doesn't lock eyes with her, there's nothing wrong with it."

Lin Wan and the others agreed with the suggestion.

Li Mu continued to suggest, "Also, you guys be ready to cast a hypnosis spell immediately if the talks don't work out, there's no need for us to consume time with her."

Sister Hong smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"People who can read eyes are extremely powerful mentally, Xiaowan and I don't have the certainty of controlling her, it's better not to do that until it's absolutely necessary, in case we miss, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Time quickly passed half a month, Xu Pingru did not come to visit, and Li Mu's side did not act rashly.

Both sides seemed to be competing for patience and just kept stretching, neither one taking the initiative.

Li Mu felt a little passive, the more this party could endure, not the more it proved that there was a demand for the other party!

In this way, they will be in a very unfavorable position in the next trading process.

The more ambitious one side is, the more the other side will ask for more, and even make conditions that they can't afford.

Don't look at Xu Pingru's body is very charming and her speaking voice is also very nice.

It is estimated that there will be no ambiguity at all when it comes to putting the opponent in a death pit, and whether a woman's heart is black or not has nothing to do with her outward appearance.
