Chapter 212: Eye contact!
She thought he would be angry at her sudden decision to come back. After all, he had put a lot of thought into keeping her overnight!
"Silly girl, what reason do you need to be nice to others? Come down!"
When he asked someone to knock on the door, the door of the Sima family opened quickly. When the housekeeper saw that it was a strange man, he became a little nervous and asked, "Who are you?"
"Your wife is back, open the door!"
What, ma'am?
"Butler, it's me!"
"Oh, Madam, where have you been? The young master and the old lady are looking for you like crazy!"
The housekeeper was naturally very happy to see her back, and Li Qingwan also walked down and said, "I was kidnapped, and it was this young master who saved me. Why don't you open the door to welcome your benefactor?"
"Oh, thank you very much, sir. Please, please!"
"lady!"
In the courtyard, when Zi'er and Ah Qing arrived here, they were also very happy, "Madam, you are back. We have been looking for you for a long time!"
"Qingwan!"
When Sima Yue learned that Li Qingwan had returned, he directly had someone push him out, but he didn't expect that he would see the man named Mu Shenyin.
Why is he here?
"Ah Yue!"
When Li Qingwan saw Sima Yue coming, she immediately stepped forward to introduce him, "I was captured outside the city by criminals, and it was Master Mu's people who rescued me. Ah Yue, why don't you thank Master Mu?"
Sima Yue was a little confused. He didn't expect that it was Mu Shenyin who saved Li Qingwan. He immediately bowed to Mu Shenyin and said, "Boss Mu, thank you for saving my wife. You are the great benefactor of our Sima family!"
"Sir, you don't have to be so polite. It's just a small favor. Now that Madam has sent it back, I should leave now. Goodbye!"
"Wait, Boss Mu, come to Sima Mansion some other day to have a drink to show your gratitude!"
Li Qingwan's words made Mu Shenyin stare at her deeply, but nodded, "Since Madam has invited me, it would be disrespectful to refuse. But Madam, please be careful. I'm worried that the group of people will not give up and come to hurt Madam again!"
He said this on purpose for Sima Yue to hear. As expected, Sima Yue's expression became even uglier. "Qing Wan, who are they?"
"I am also investigating this matter. I will send someone to tell you when I find out. Bye!"
After saying that, Mu Shenyin strode away with his attendants. After he left, Li Qingwan was still looking at his departing back, as if thinking about something!
"Qingwan, are you okay?"
Sima Yue was naturally very happy to see her come back, as if he had seen his money come back. However, he was somewhat jealous of why she was with Mu Shenyin.
"I'm fine, where's mom?"
"Mother is waiting for your news, go and see her!"
So, Li Qingwan went with Sima Yue to see old Madam Sima, and when the old lady learned that Li Qingwan was back, she was naturally very happy. After all, their wealth and glory were preserved.
"Qingwan, my dear daughter-in-law, you scared your mother to death!"
When Madam Sima saw Li Qingwan, she reached out to hug her, but Li Qingwan stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Mother, I'm back!"
"What's going on? How could someone..."
"It's a long story. I'll report it to mother after I find the person behind it. I'm very tired and want to go back to rest. I still have to prepare for the year-end banquet tomorrow, so I won't disturb mother."
"Go ahead and have a good rest!"
Before Madam Sima could recover from the death of her daughter, Li Qingwan disappeared. She couldn't accept this, but fortunately she came back. Now that she was back, things were easy. The year-end banquet would be held as usual. She no longer had time to wait.
After Li Qingwan left, Aunt Zhang began to sow discord, "Madam, she came back fine, and I always feel something is wrong!"
"Ayue, she came back alone?"
"No, Mu Shenyin sent her back!"
"What, Mu Shenyin?"
Hearing this, Madam Sima's eyes were filled with astonishment, "Did that man send her back?"
"Look, old lady, I told you this is not a simple matter!"
"Okay, stop making trouble!"
Madam Sima was very smart. She knew that no matter whether Li Qingwan had ulterior motives or not, she was no longer useful as a stepping stone and would have to be disposed of after the year-end banquet.
"Madam, I know I was wrong!"
"Ayue, go and consummate your marriage with her tonight, as a way of thanking her for her dedication to the Sima family over the years!"
"Mother, what are you doing..."
"Still not going?"
Look, after Sima Yue left, Old Madam Sima looked towards the place where they left with a complicated expression, as if she was thinking about something.
"Madam, Li Qingwan must have had a shameful relationship with Mu Shenyin. Otherwise, why did it happen that Mu Shenyin was the one who saved her instead of someone else?"
"You think I'm a fool? As long as she gives all her property to Ah Yue, I won't get involved in her affairs. We can settle this matter completely in three days."
At three o'clock in the morning, when Li Qingwan came back, she took a bath, changed clothes and prepared to rest. At this time, there was news outside!
"lady!"
"Zi'er, go and bring the person here!"
She came back just to wait for this informant, and now everything is just right!
Soon, Zi'er brought in a man in black, who bowed respectfully to her and said, "Madam, the witnesses are all in the capital, ready to testify at any time."
"Very good, you step back first, I will call you if there is anything else!"
"Madam, the young master is here."
what?
Knowing that Sima Yue had actually arrived, Li Qingwan was a little nervous, "Leave from the backyard, and make sure no one discovers your whereabouts, understand?"
After the man in black left, Li Qingwan asked Ah Qing to investigate the identity of the person who attacked them today. After Ah Qing left, Sima Yue came in shamelessly. Ah Fu pushed him in and said, "Madam, the young master is here."
"Qingwan, are you asleep?"
Sima Yue came towards her with a big smile on his face, and Li Qingwan pretended to support him, "A Yue, why don't you rest so late?"
"Qingwan, I can't sleep. I want to come over and sleep with you."
What? Sima Yue wanted to sleep with her?
This made Li Qingwan a little unhappy, and she pretended to be embarrassed, "Ayue, I'm very tired. I have to prepare for the year-end banquet tomorrow morning. I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of you. You should go to sleep by yourself. Ah Fu, send the young master back!"
"Wait, Qingwan, do you not love me anymore?"
what?
Hearing Sima Yue's words, Li Qingwan frowned, but looked at him in confusion, "A Yue, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I not love you?"
Sima Yue was naturally very suspicious when he saw that she didn't want to consummate the marriage with him. He was almost going crazy in self-doubt. He was determined to consummate the marriage with her tonight. Even if she was no longer the mistress of the Sima family in the future, he would take her as a concubine and hide her in the house!
"Qing Wan, are you kidding yourself? You and Mu Shenyin exchanged glances, do you really think your husband didn't see it?"
