Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 279: Today I’ll Spend the Whole Day with You!

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Today I’ll Spend the Whole Day with You!

Xiang Yin’s body trembled slightly from fear, even his lips were quivering. This was definitely bad news, extremely bad news!

If the matter was exposed, he would be utterly ruined!

Li Qingmu gazed at him and said calmly, "Why are you panicking? I’m the one who killed, not you!"

"I..." Xiang Yin stammered, "Of course I’m scared. We’re in this together. If anything happens to you, I won’t escape responsibility either..."

"Yes, we’re in this together, that’s true. But how many people actually know the truth about this? That person is already dead, and right now, only heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know. If we both stick to this story, what can he do?"

Li Qingmu thought Xiang Yin was too timid. If Zhao Mengran confronted him directly, he would likely have revealed everything.

"He came to ask me if there was anything special about those men in black. He asked about the men in black! How does that relate to us?"

Li Qingmu said, flashing a mischievous smile, "So, we insist it was the men in black who did it, and that’s it?"

The situation was actually quite simple, but Xiang Yin was too scared. If he didn’t remind him, he might fall into someone’s trap and reveal everything.

Xiang Yin was initially at a loss, heart filled with panic. But hearing Li Qingmu’s words, he suddenly realized.

Yes, at the time it was only Li Qingmu and him. The assassin in the know and Zhao Xuan were both dead. Couldn’t they say whatever they wanted?

Moreover, the other party only asked about the men in black.

If someone else is taking the fall, what is there to worry about?

"Yes, yes... you’re right!"

Though Xiang Yin understood, he was still a bit scared in action.

Li Qingmu frowned, "Your behavior will make people suspicious!"

"I?"

"Stammering when you speak—isn’t that a guilty conscience?" Li Qingmu was unimpressed with his performance, "When Prefect Zhao questioned me, I remained calm and collected; hence, he didn’t suspect anything. But you..."

You’re too cowardly!

Li Qingmu shook his head in frustration.

"Act like this, and even if we didn’t do it, it will seem like we did!"

Xiang Yin said gloomily, "I... I’m truly scared..."

"Why are you afraid?"

Li Qingmu looked up, his gaze becoming deep, his expression suddenly serious.

Xiang Yin said, "I have a wife and children, parents, a beautiful life. If I get implicated, I’d rather be dead!"

"Yes, you’re right, you have a splendid life, and so do I. None of us wants this matter exposed! Therefore, the calmer we remain, the better! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Think of your wife, think of your lovely child. As long as they are by your side, what is there to fear?

Isn’t it just telling a lie? Others would avert their gaze while lying, out of guilt. But we should lie steadfastly and seriously!"

Xiang Yin widened his eyes in astonishment—could this be possible?

It’s the first time he realized that lying makes people avoid eye contact...

"So, when you lie to someone, make sure you stare straight, speak nonsense seriously. Understand?"

Xiang Yin nodded.

Li Qingmu still shook his head, "You still seem a bit guilty."

Xiang Yin scratched his head, "Then what should I do?"

"Pain, guilt, seriousness—these should be your expressions while speaking. Look the other party in the eye—that’s your attitude while speaking. Got it? Go back and practice well, I’ll test you in three days."

Li Qingmu handed Xiang Yin this unspeakable task, turned, and left. Xiang Yin started to scratch his head and practice...

"Did you manage it?"

"Yes, I educated him well; it should be fine!"

Li Qingmu hugged the little woman and climbed into bed. Tonight, she seemed specially dressed, carrying a faint lingering fragrance, not the familiar scent of Mei Hua Xiang but a strong scent of roses?

When did his little wife change her taste?

Li Qingmu’s gaze toward her was not kind. Deep in his eyes, a burning flame was hidden!

Long Yue pursed her lips, reached out to hook the man’s neck, leaning her little head against his chest, her voice soft as if it could ooze water: "A Mu..."

"Hmm..."

Li Qingmu responded heavily, his breathing a bit rapid.

His little wife was usually very reserved; anytime he wanted an intimate moment with her, it took a lot of effort. Today she was so proactive... could she have eaten something wrong?

"A Mu, I really want us to have a child..."

The voice was weak and tinged with sadness, the sobbing bringing an ache to Li Qingmu’s heart.

He eventually understood her strange behavior—it was Chai Qiao’er’s words that struck her. The phrase "You’ve been married for two years now, you should have a child already" was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart deeply and leaving a bloody wound.

Even though Qiao’er didn’t mean it, it still hurt her.

Li Qingmu lowered his gaze, hiding the trace of pain in his eyes, softly reassuring her, "Don’t worry, we will have one, sooner or later, we will have our own child, okay?"

Long Yue’s eyes shimmered with tears, even though her master assured her there wouldn’t be a problem, she still worried. This anxious unease would only disappear once she confirmed her pregnancy.

Her gaze turned somber, softly nodding, "Understood."

Seeing her so sad, Li Qingmu wanted to fulfill his own desire but couldn’t bear it, so he gave up.

And had to give up, because he found that the little woman had already fallen asleep in his arms, with a hint of crystal-clear tears at the corners of her eyes, her long eyelashes fully covering her eyes, casting a shadow against the candlelight onto her cheeks.

Li Qingmu felt a pang of heartache, laid her gently on the bed, carefully covered her with the quilt, and tucked her in before going to bed himself.

"Sigh—"

The candle was extinguished.

May 5th, Dragon Boat Festival.

The weather was already quite warm at this time of year. People donned thin garments, children enjoyed playing by the river, but were often scolded and worried by adults, fearing they might accidentally fall in and drown.

Chai Qiao’er’s family had been living in the General Mansion for five or six days. Recently, Father Xiang had inspected a mansion near the Imperial City and was discussing the price with others. It’s said to cost five thousand taels.

That’s quite a sum, but the affluent Xiang Family could afford it. The negotiations were mainly about whether they could get a small adjacent courtyard for a lower price.

Long Yue didn’t care about these things. Today was the Dragon Boat Festival, their first peaceful celebration since marriage. Li Qingmu had promised to spend the festival well with her.

So, early in the morning, before dawn, she got up to wash up.

After meticulously dressing, she looked particularly radiant, and as Li Qingmu came in, the first thing he said made her heart bloom.

"Yue’er, today I’ll spend the whole day with you!"
