On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law Chapter 384

Chapter 384 He is going to Suzhou

Seeing that Zhou Mu was persuaded, Gu Xiyan planned to sleep peacefully.

 At this time, she heard Zhou Mu say again: "Xiyan, this is the most meaningful birthday I have ever had. I like it very much."

 Gu Xiyan couldn't help but look back at him and solemnly replied: "This is also the most meaningful birthday I have ever celebrated, and I like it very much."

 The two couples looked at each other and smiled, which was sweet and warm.

 The next morning when he went to court in the evening, his face was full of spring breeze. He was already handsome, and his high-spirited appearance attracted people's attention.

 After going to court, Emperor Chengde asked Zhou Mu if he had read the files on the corruption case in Suzhou five years ago.

"After reading it, I thought it was the result of a crime jointly committed by officials from the capital and local officials in Suzhou. However, it was so old that the truth was not found out at that time. It is impossible to solve the case five years later by just looking at the case." Zhou Mu replied.

 Emperor Cheng De suddenly handed the case to him and asked him to read it as soon as possible. Perhaps he intended to dig out the case and investigate it thoroughly.

“I want you to go to Suzhou. What do you think?”

As soon as Emperor Cheng De finished speaking, he saw Zhou Mu's face looked troubled. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't want to go?"

"I can't bear to leave Xiyan." Zhou Mu's first thought was that if he went to Suzhou, wouldn't Xiyan have to stay in the capital alone?

"You are really promising!" Emperor Chengde didn't expect that he was doing it for Gu Xiyan.

"My son is in the wedding period. It has only been a month since the marriage. My father asked me to leave the capital. Can I blame him?" Zhou Mu disagreed.

Emperor Cheng De was angry when he saw that he was so confident: "What do you mean, you are not willing to go to Suzhou for Xi Yan?"

Zhou Mu opened his lips calmly: "I didn't say that. Since my father sent me to Suzhou, it was an old case five years ago. There is definitely no way to find out the truth in a while. I have only one request. , that is to take Xi Yan to Suzhou with him. For no other reason than that, if Xi Yan is by Erchen's side, Erchen will not be distracted. Erchen is also worried that if she is left alone in the capital, someone will harm her, and I hope that my father will come true. .”

What he said was reasonable and well-founded, and Emperor Chengde was unable to refute it.

"Suzhou may not be safe." After a long while, Emperor Chengde said seriously: "This trip to Suzhou is not just for fun. Do you think Xi Yan will be safe if he follows you?"

Zhou Mu replied confidently: "I am confident that I can protect her, as long as she is by my side."

Seeing his persistence, Emperor Cheng De finally relented: "That's all, it's up to you. But this trip is for you to investigate the case, not for fun. You have to be careful."

“My father suddenly asked his son to thoroughly investigate the corruption case five years ago. Did he want his son to make meritorious deeds?” Zhou Mu said half of the sentence.

 After he achieved great achievements, it seemed logical that his father would appoint him as the crown prince.

Zhou Mu looked at him deeply and did not answer his words. Instead, he changed the subject.

Zhou Mu did not continue to struggle with this issue.

 As long as Xi Yan is by his side, he can be in Suzhou or the capital.

That day, Zhou Mu was busy going to the palace to get the keys before he could return home. During dinner, he told Gu Xiyan that he was going to Suzhou to investigate the case. After hearing this, Gu Xiyan slowed down her eating.

 “When are you leaving?” Thinking of being separated from him for a while, she suddenly felt that the food was tasteless.

"The specific schedule has not been determined yet, it may be in late this month or early next month. You should also be prepared to go to Suzhou with me then." Zhou Mu replied.

Gu Xiyan's eyes lit up: "Can I go too?"

"Of course. It may take several months for me to go there. I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone in the capital. My father has already agreed, and we will go to Suzhou together." Zhou Mu looked into Gu Xiyan's fiery eyes and couldn't help but flirt. Lip: "It seems that Madam can't live without her husband for a day."

Gu Xiyan thought Zhou Mu's narcissistic look was funny, "My husband is obviously one year older than yesterday." Zhou Mujing waited for her next step, but she didn't continue. He couldn't help but ask, "What next?"

“But it seems to be one year younger than yesterday.” Gu Xiyan added.

Zhou Mu put the two sentences together and thought about it carefully, and then realized that this girl was clearly rounding the corner and calling him naive.

 He lowered his head, a smile on his face.

Hu Die, who was not far away, glanced at him in surprise. He immediately covered his chest and exaggeratedly said: "His Highness looks so beautiful when he smiles."

Chunhua echoed: "Your Highness is very beautiful, and the girl... the princess is also very beautiful. They are truly a match made in heaven."

Hu Die said distressedly: "What should I do? After seeing someone as good-looking as Your Highness, how can I get married in the future?"

Chunhua looked at Hu Die sympathetically: "You are indeed not young. If you don't get married, you may not be able to get married in the future."

Hu Die slapped Chunhua on the shoulder hard: "Are you sure I can't get married?"

Chunhua almost lost her balance due to her slap, and quickly changed her words: "Of course not, it's not a problem for a beauty like you to get married!"

Hu Die raised her chin proudly: "Of course! Although I am a bit rude, my face is pretty."

Chunhua secretly cursed that Hu Die was really narcissistic.

At that time, Gu Xiyan was a little excited when she learned that she could go to Suzhou together. She has never left the capital in her life. This time she can go to Suzhou with Zhou Mu. There are many things to prepare for.

After a while, she suddenly remembered the corruption five years ago. In her previous life, she investigated it carefully after Zhou Mu ascended the throne.

 She stayed with Zhou Mu all year round after her death, and she really knew which officials in Suzhou were involved in this case.

 Among them is Rong Da, the current head of the Rong family who kicked Rong Song out of the Rong family. In addition, there is the work of the Zheng family, that is, the power of the Xianfei.

 In his previous life, Zhou Xing colluded with Wuxi grain merchants to create a grain shortage, and Xian Fei was also behind it.

It can be said that the real power behind Suzhou is the Zheng family. I wonder if Emperor Chengde is aware of this?

If Zhou Mu enters Suzhou, wouldn't it mean that he has entered the Zheng family's circle of influence? This trip to Suzhou may not be peaceful.

If Zhou Xing were more ruthless, he could even kill Zhou Mu in Suzhou, which would make Zhou Mu even more dangerous.

While she was meditating, Zhou Mu came out of the bath and dug out the jeweled dress she had hidden at the bottom of the suitcase: "Yesterday, my wife promised my husband that I would wear it tonight for my husband to see."

 Gu Xiyan pretended not to see him and said seriously: "I have something important to tell you..."

"The most important thing for me tonight is this!" Zhou Mu said calmly: "If madam doesn't do anything, I can help madam."

Gu Xiyan glared at him but didn't move. Zhou Mu wanted to take action at the next moment, which scared her so much that she dodged left and right: "Okay, okay, I'll put it on myself. Master, let me go first."

"Madam always has a short memory, so she always calls her husband." Zhou Mu corrected her language problem.

Gu Xiyan had actually been with him for too long in her previous life. Even if he later became the emperor, she still regarded him as the young master who amazed her when they first met at Fallen Immortal Temple. She was used to it in this life. , but I am not used to calling myself husband.

I just had an argument with a seafood seller for a long time. The reason is that I bought five kilograms of seafood and only sent me four kilograms. The remaining kilogram was all ice. I definitely can't suffer this dumb loss. Hum hum, we have to safeguard our own interests and eliminate the arrogance of these black-hearted businessmen.
