The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 331 Why Are You Making People Angry?

Li Mo dodged and evaded, but finally couldn't resist Chen Yueting and had to let go.

The blood that seeped out was spread out a lot due to the friction of the palm, making the wound look even more hideous.

Seeing this, Chen Yueting couldn't help but say, "Yuerong, you didn't know how to control your strength."

Chen Yuerong felt very aggrieved, but still pointed at Li Mo and said, "This unfaithful man, even if I beat him hard, I can't relieve the hatred in my heart.

Sister, how come you have forgotten the injustice you suffered so quickly and are still speaking for him? "

Seeing her sister feel wronged, Chen Yuerong immediately turned to Li Mo and said, "It's all your fault. Why didn't you get out of the way just now?"

Li Mo quickly apologized when he saw this: "Yes, it's all my fault, I reacted too slowly, if I had reacted faster, I could have avoided it.

Princess Yuerong, please don't be angry.

I'll come over to let you fight me someday when I've improved my reaction speed. What do you think?"

Chen Yuerong was simply amazed by Li Mo's words.

Isn't Li Mo full of sourness? It's as if he is full of pride and refuses to bow to others.

what is it today?

"Sister!" Chen Yuerong looked at Chen Yueting uncertainly.

"Is this Li Mo? Could it be that you found a substitute from somewhere?"

"Tsk!"

Chen Yueting clicked his tongue.

"What are you thinking about when I look for a replacement?"

Chen Yuerong pursed her lips unhappily.

However, after this incident, Chen Yuerong's attitude towards Li Mo improved a lot. Although she didn't want to pay attention to him, she didn't attack him again.

The Rui Wang Mansion is different from other homes.

Generally, when a son-in-law comes to a family, he always has to pay a visit to various elders and listen to their lectures.

But Chen Yueting and his friends had no mother, and their father was always busy with government affairs. Chen Yueting was the head of the family at a young age, so Li Mo felt more comfortable in Prince Rui's Mansion than in his own home.

They came to Chen Yan's courtyard and saw Chen Yan and a young man lying on the ground drawing.

Chen Yueting greeted, "Mr. Lu, the ground is cold, why don't you draw on the table?"

Lu Changqing raised his head and said, "Princess Yueting is here. This drawing is too big to fit on the table, so we drew it on the floor."

Chen Yan also raised his head and said, "Sister, the ground is not cold. I asked someone to spread a blanket."

"That's good. How long have you been painting? Are you tired? I brought some snacks. Would you like to have some?"

"Is it the snack from Shufangzhai?"

When Chen Yan heard about food, he immediately got up from the ground.

"These are snacks from Shufangzhai, including your favorite sugar-coated pear cakes." Chen Yueting said as he took the basket from Li Mo and placed the snacks out one by one.

"Mr. Lu, you should also take a rest and come over to have some snacks." Chen Yueting greeted.

Lu Changqing put down his pen and got up from the ground.

It turned out that after Chen Yan recovered, King Rui had another worry.

Chen Yan has been naive for many years and has a simple mind. Prince Rui is afraid that he will be bullied or led astray by someone with ulterior motives when he goes out.

But he couldn't go out to socialize, nor could he lock Chen Yan up in a small yard like before.

My two sisters are both girls, so many things are inconvenient.

It was Ye Xinran who suddenly had an idea and thought of letting Lu Changqing get to know him. If they could get along well, the two could become friends.

Unexpectedly, the two of them hit it off right away.

After spending less than half a day together, we found common topics.

Recently, Lu Changqing has been researching new farm tools. When he mentioned it to Chen Yan, Chen Yan actually drew it immediately. The two felt that they had met too late.

From that day on, Lu Changqing often came to see Chen Yan, and the two of them studied some new things together.

When King Rui heard about this, he was also very happy. He had been busy with military affairs recently, and he felt more at ease now that his son had made friends and found something to do.

Lu Changqing was already familiar with the Chen sisters, and with the help of Ye Xinran, he did not feel restrained when they met.

However, Li Mo's arrival today gave him a fright.

"Brother Li, why are you here at the Rui Palace?"

"Here……"

Li Mo wanted to explain, but Chen Yueting asked first, "Do you know each other?"

She thought for a moment and said, "That's right, you met in Yuntong County, right?"

Li Mo nodded, "I've seen him a few times."

"This is my wife!" He pointed at Chen Yueting and said to Lu Changqing.

"what?"

Lu Changqing was shocked.

Ye Xinran has been busy these days. She did mention Li Mo's return to Beijing, but she did not mention the relationship between Li Mo and the Rui Palace at all.

"You are actually the son-in-law of Prince Rui's Mansion?" Lu Changqing asked loudly.

Chen Yan was also confused, "Sister, who is this man? My brother-in-law? He looks ordinary, not even as good-looking as Brother Changqing.

What does he have to marry you?"

"Cough cough!"

Chen Yueting cleared his throat.

I signaled my brother to stop talking with my eyes.

Li Mo didn't feel embarrassed and handed the prepared gift to Chen Yan, "This is a little thing I brought from Yuntong County, don't mind it.

I think what you asked just now is right. I really don’t have the ability to marry Yue Ting.”

When Chen Yueting heard his words, his expression changed immediately, fearing that it would be the same as before.

Li Mo continued, "But I've figured it out. When two people are together, there's no need to worry about who's more powerful, who has a higher status, or who's more capable.

Since we are destined to be together, cherish it.

Yueting is very capable. If she likes to show off, I can support her silently behind the scenes.

Anyway, she can do whatever she wants with me, and I just have to promise not to let anyone bully her."

Chen Yan did not accept Li Mo's gift, "It seems to make sense."

He looked at Lu Changqing, "If your sister married a man like this, would you agree?"

Lu Changqing thought about it seriously and said, "The man my sister married before was indeed not that good, but he was quite good to my sister.

As long as my sister is happy."

"Are you happy then, sister?" Chen Yan turned and asked Chen Yueting.

Chen Yueting was caught off guard by this question, "I..."

"My sister is unhappy!" Chen Yan asserted, and was about to get angry at Li Mo again.

Chen Yueting said quickly: "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that my sister still wants to test him now, why don't you ask me again after a while."

Chen Yan looked at Chen Yueting and then at Li Mo, and said, "Okay, I'll ask again later."

As he said this, he ate the last piece of sugar pear cake in his hand and said to Lu Changqing, "Let's continue painting."

"it is good!"

Lu Changqing also squatted down again and continued painting along the place where he had just broken off with Chen Yan.

Seeing that Li Mo was still awkwardly holding the prepared gift in his hand, Chen Yueting took it for Chen Yan and placed it on the table.

Li Mo asked excitedly: "Yueting, do you really want to test me? How long will it take?"

Chen Yueting did not answer this question, but only instructed his sister: "Mr. Lu is a guest, you should take care of him when you are at home, and don't let Xiaoyan do what he wants."

Chen Yuerong curled her lips and said, "Brother doesn't have a bad temper. I think Mr. Lu has a bad temper."

As he said this, he glared in Lu Changqing's direction.

Chen Yueting saw that there was a contradiction!

She couldn't ask in front of the guests, so she had to take Chen Yuerong and Li Mo out of the room.

When they reached the yard, Chen Yueting asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yuerong pursed her lips. "Just now, when you guys weren't here, I was planning to ask them if they wanted some snacks. But before my brother could say anything, Lu Changqing said impatiently, 'Don't disturb them! Humph! My kindness was taken for granted!'"

"Then he must have been so focused on drawing that he didn't notice it was you?

I think Mr. Lu is gentle and refined, and doesn't seem like a person without manners."

"Then you don't know, he..."

Chen Yuerong wanted to complain, but Li Mo interrupted, "I have had contact with Chang Qing in Yuntong County. He tends to ignore the people and things around him when he is serious about his work. Maybe he didn't realize it was you when he said this.

But Yue Rongjun is unhappy, I'll ask him to apologize to you."

"Why do you want him to apologize!" Chen Yuerong looked unhappy. "Even if you ask him to apologize, you don't have to do it. I can handle it myself!"

Li Mo was disappointed again and had to shut up awkwardly.

Afterwards, Chen Yuerong returned to her own courtyard, and Li Mo followed Chen Yueting back to the front hall.

The housekeeper had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the two people come in, he immediately handed over the account book and reported last month's expenses, fees, and some trivial matters such as personal relationships.

Chen Yueting listened to every word, then picked up the account book and read it carefully.

Li Mo knew that Chen Yueting was usually busy, but now seeing her like this, he really felt it.

She really had to worry about things on both sides. Although she was a princess, she could not enjoy the same life as other ladies from noble families.

"Yueting," Chen Yan pointed to the account books on the table, "Let me help you look at two of them!"

"Can you see clearly?" Chen Yueting questioned.

Li Mo smiled softly: "I am most familiar with things like looking at account books."

Chen Yueting didn't comment, but reached out and took out two books and handed them to him.

Li Mo sat opposite Chen Yueting and read it carefully.

He didn’t know if God was favoring him, but he actually found a problem in the account book that Chen Yueting handed to him.

"There seems to be something wrong with the money in this farm. It is quite different from last year."

Chen Yueting took the account book, took a look at it, and asked the housekeeper: "Uncle Chen, do you know what's going on?"

The housekeeper glanced at the name of the manor and replied, "The head of the village over there told me that a piece of land was destroyed by wild boars, so the harvest was small."

Li Mo shook his head, "Even if the income from one piece of land is missing, there shouldn't be such a big difference.

Moreover, the accounts have been inaccurate since the summer. I think someone has tampered with them.”

After being reminded by Li Mo, Chen Yueting finally noticed the problem.

Sure enough, Li Mo did not lie. He could see the problems in the account book at a glance.

"I'll go there this afternoon and find out what's going on."

Chen Yueting said.

Li Mo said, "You are worth a lot of money, what is worth going there in person? I'd better go."

"Are you okay?"

Chen Yueting still didn't trust it.

Li Mo patted his chest and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to test me? How about this be considered a test?

I promise to resolve this matter properly.”

Chen Yueting was actually somewhat relieved that Li Mo was so proactive.

No matter what, this is also the family affair of the Rui Palace. Since Li Mo is willing to participate in it, it means that he really regards himself as a member of this family.

Realizing this, Chen Yueting was a little bit looking forward to what Li Mo was going to do.

And Li Mo did not disappoint her.

After the butler came back, he praised Li Mo's methods and style from beginning to end.

"My dear, my son-in-law is not bragging. He is really decisive and knows how to handle things. I think he is a good helper in managing your household."

"Uncle Chen!" Chen Yueting corrected him, "I didn't marry Li Mo to help me manage the household. He has his own things to do."

"Yes, yes, Miss is right."

The housekeeper quickly admitted his mistake, "I was just excited and said something wrong. I just wanted to say that the son-in-law is quite capable."

Chen Yueting smiled and said, "Tell me what happened today that made you praise it so highly."

The housekeeper then told the whole story of what happened at the farm today from beginning to end.

Li Mo went to the farm today, bringing only the housekeeper and two servants from Prince Rui's mansion.

The group passed by without attracting any attention at all.

It was not until they entered the manor and the housekeeper revealed his identity that the head of the village realized that an important person had arrived.

He hurried over to show his courtesy, talking about the specialties of the farm and arranging to take him to have a look at the farm.

However, Li Mo ignored him and asked him to call all the people in the village over.

The village head tried to prevaricate at first, saying that many people were working, but Li Mo gave a direct order that no matter what work they were doing, they must stop immediately and come over right away, and the owner would bear the consequences of any losses.

The village head then went around calling for people.

This call lasted for a long time.

In the end, not all people arrived, only about 102 people showed up out of a total of 80 people.

These 80-odd people had different appearances, and some of them were obviously not working on the farm. As soon as Li Mo asked a few questions, they were immediately exposed.

Later, Li Mo picked out an old man from all the farmers and asked him to identify the people on the farm. After pointing around, he found that only 67 people were actually farmers working on the farm.

"What about the rest of the people?" Chen Yueting asked after hearing this.

The housekeeper said angrily, "The rest are either the village head's own relatives who don't work at all, or they are passers-by he found from outside to temporarily replace them.

The son-in-law has sharp eyes and can see their problems at a glance. He can make them speechless with just a few words. "

The butler continued.

When the village head saw that the truth was revealed, he quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake, saying that there had been less work on the village in the past two years and they were enough, so they reduced the number of staff.

"Then you reduced the number of staff without informing the government and did not reduce the expenditure on wages. Where did the wages of the 35 extra people go?"

"Share it equally among the guys!"

Zhuangtou said quickly.

"Is what he said true? Have your wages increased in the past two years?"

Li Mo asked the other farmers standing below.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
