Life in the world of film and television

The weather in mid-October is already a little chilly. There have been too many things happening in the past two days. First, there was the clan meeting, where I was busy dealing with all kinds of people, and then there was the bloody battle last night.

Due to Su Tan'er's joining and showing of impressive fighting ability, several leaders were unable to escape and were all left here. They were either captured or killed.

In the end, only a few minions were able to escape.

In order to wipe out the criminals completely and leave no future trouble, the Hundred Swords Alliance has sent a large number of people to investigate and hunt them down.

The assassination of Su Boyong came to an end here.

As for Xi Junyu, the only way waiting for him is death. Su Tan'er was quite emotional about this. Xi Junyu used to be her right-hand man. Earlier, he even taught her how to do business. The two of them could be considered as both a teacher and a friend.

However, no matter how hard one tries, one would never imagine that such a seemingly kind person would collude with outsiders, act as a spy in the Su family, and steal the Su family's technology; if it were just that, it would be fine, and it could be explained as being driven by interests and unable to resist temptation.

But he was so cruel as to collude with foreign forces to assassinate Su Boyong. Although he failed, the nature of the situation was different and he had become mortal enemies with the Su family.

The Su family naturally cannot let such a person go and leave themselves with future troubles.

Early in the morning, the Su family mansion woke up from sleep and gradually moved. Li Mu stretched.

Su Tan'er was sleeping soundly next to her. Last night was the first time she had killed someone, and Su Tan'er was so excited that she couldn't help feeling scared. She couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. Li Mu could only accompany her to practice the Great Music of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth several times before she fell into a deep sleep exhausted.

Without disturbing her, Li Mu got up and dressed quietly. He went downstairs, practiced swordplay and boxing for a while. The little girls were also up.

However, yesterday was probably the first time we saw such a bloody scene, so we were all frightened and not in a good mood.

After finishing his morning exercises, Li Mu put away his sword and returned to his room. The maid Xiaochan came over with a basin of warm water. She was wearing a thin pink coat, her hair was not neatly combed, and her face was a little pale.

"Uncle, the warm water has just been boiled..."

Li Mu didn't say anything, but put his hand on the little maid's forehead.

The little girl blinked her eyes: "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Li Mu tapped her forehead and said, "You're asking what happened? You didn't even know you caught a cold. Stop busying yourself. Go back to your room and rest. I'll ask a doctor to come over and give you some medicine later."

Xiaochan put her hand on her forehead and tried it. After a while, she said to herself, "Since I started practicing the Songhe Fist Sutra taught by my uncle, I haven't been sick for a long time."

"I just felt a little lazy and listless this morning. It turns out I caught a cold."

"However, Xiaochan feels very well now, so she's fine."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head: "I know you are in good health and have a strong foundation. If you are sick, you should rest. Go!"

Xiaochan argued softly, "But...there are still things to do. Anyway, it's okay now."

Li Mu glared at her and said, "Are you still okay? Look at your face now. Go and have a rest and don't talk back."

The little girl hummed in grievance and pouted: "Son-in-law, I'm not a child anymore."

……

After Li Mu had breakfast, he read a book in the study. Su Tan'er came over with sleepy eyes. She was wearing a white top and trousers. There were two small yellow flowers on the white silk trouser legs. She was wearing moon-white embroidered shoes, pajamas and a long coat.

She walked up to Li Mu, hugged him gently, put her head on Li Mu's chest, and whispered softly: "Husband!"

Li Mu stretched out his hands and held her slender waist: "My wife!"

After a while, Su Tan'er stood up, rearranged her clothes, and looked around: "Husband, where are Xiaochan and the others?"

Li Mu said, "Maybe Xiaochan didn't get enough rest last night. She caught a cold. Let her go back and rest. Juan'er and Xing'er probably went to ask the doctor to get some medicine."

Su Tan'er nodded. She also couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because of the scene yesterday. If it weren't for her husband, she might have done the same as Xiaochan and the others.

"Then let them rest today."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes! You will take over the Wu family's assets next, as well as the assets managed by the old man. I guess there will be more things to do, so you should also pay attention to rest."

Su Tan'er nodded: "Don't worry, my husband, I understand. I am also skilled in martial arts now. I am a chivalrous woman, and my body is not that weak."

Li Mu laughed, gently put his arm around her waist and said, "Are you really that powerful? Try again tonight, and don't beg for mercy."

Su Tan'er blushed and gave Li Mu a cold look: "Husband...you have no shame."

Then he whispered, "Tan'er has already made an agreement with Xiaochan. My husband will take her into his room when he can... Although Tan'er cannot handle my husband alone, Xiaochan will be able to handle it."

Li Mu held his forehead with one hand: "Xiaochan is too young, wait another two years!"

Su Tan'er said: "Xiaochan is already sixteen years old this year, not young anymore. Could it be that your husband likes older ones..."

Li Mu was suddenly speechless.

Su Tan'er seemed quite generous: "With my husband's talent and martial arts, any woman in the world is worthy of him. I don't feel at ease that my husband is marrying into my family. It should be Tan'er who marries my husband."

"With your ability, you should be doing something big, but now you are restricted by your status as a son-in-law. You don't have to worry about anything. Tan'er can report to daddy and grandpa and get a new marriage invitation. Tan'er will marry you."

Li Mu was about to say something when Su Tan'er continued, "My husband, what Tan'er told you today is from my heart."

"My husband is a man of great ability and should not be constrained. If my husband, because of Tan'er, wastes his amazing abilities in the academy and spends his days leisurely, Tan'er will feel uneasy and feel sorry for my husband."

Su Tan'er paused and said, "My husband, I am saying this today because I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me and not be able to realize your ambitions."

"If you want to do something or have any ambitions, just go for it. Whether you are short of money or people, if you need it, Tan'er will definitely support you with all her strength."

"Even if my husband falls in love with that girl or any of the courtesans in the brothel, Tan'er will be jealous but will try her best to tolerate them. Tan'er has always been very broad-minded."

"However, there is one thing you must remember, my husband, Tan'er is the one you married with a formal matchmaker, and she is your legal wife. Others can only be concubines, or at most co-wives. Tan'er is your mistress."

"Otherwise, Tan'er is also very powerful. She can let those vixens outside see Tan'er's methods..."

Li Mu opened his mouth and hugged her gently. It took great courage for Su Tan'er to say this. Even in ancient times, there were few women who were generous enough to let their men go out and find other women. ...

A few more days passed, the chaos gradually subsided, and everything returned to normal. Li Mu became relaxed again, feeling somewhat similar to before, yet also somewhat different.

For example, every time I went back to the Su Mansion, there were more people greeting me along the way, and they were more enthusiastic. I also received more invitations from my family, and I had to refuse more things.

Outside, there have been many more people who have come to visit Yushan Academy recently, and there have been many invitations. For example, Puyang Yi from Puyang family invited him to a party on a certain painting boat a few days ago, and Miss Qilan would be there to accompany him.

There are countless examples like this, but Li Mu still rejected most of them as usual.

There was a little more noise in his leisure time, but Su Tan'er was getting busier and busier. The business of the first house was better, and Su Boyong was in charge. Although the things handed over by Old Grandpa Su and those delivered by the Wu family had already reached Su Tan'er's hands, they had to be sorted out one by one.

These industries are not just located in one place. Although the largest number are in Jiangning, most of them are also distributed in the surrounding prefectures. It is necessary to run around and inspect everywhere, especially for those industries delivered by the Wu family. It is also necessary to arrange for the heads of each prefecture, the shopkeepers, the managers... and arrange all kinds of personnel. For a while, he was very busy.

Li Mu couldn't help much and could only ask Su Tan'er to take a few little girls with her. The little girls were capable and were trained to be Su Tan'er's assistants.

That day, Li Mu came out of the academy and strolled to the main office of Zhuji, where he ran into Yuan Jiner.

She looked Li Mu up and down and said, "Mr. Ning, you are here to see Sister Yunzhu again?"

Ever since she knew that the man who had an ambiguous relationship with Nie Yunzhu was Li Mu, Yuan Jiner, who had always shown great admiration for his talent, seemed to have eaten explosives. Whenever they met, she would either say a few sarcastic words or make some sarcastic remarks.

Li Mu laughed and said, "Why, no!"

Yuan Jiner said: "No, now everyone is saying that the Su family's matter was a trap set by you, and you have fooled the Wu family and everyone else. You are so powerful, who knows if you are sincere. Maybe you just want to cheat money and sex..."

Li Mu chuckled and said, "Cheating for money and sex... cheating for sex is fine, but cheating for money, I don't care!"

Yuan Jin'er looked like she had something on you: "Look at you, you are telling the truth, you approached Yunzhu because she was pretty, just to seduce her."

Li Mu said with a smile: "You are also very pretty, and I am close to you now. Am I going to deceive you again?"

Yuan Jin'er blushed slightly, and she covered her chest with one hand and said, "How dare you... I won't be deceived by you!"

Li Mu said: "Since you don't want to be cheated of your sex, then I will cheat you of your money."

Yuan Jin'er snorted and said, "You can't cheat me of my wealth. I have invested all my money in Zhuji. I won't let you cheat me of even a cent."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's not a problem that I don't have money. You're quite famous, aren't you? If I trick you out and sell you, you should be worth a lot of money."

Yuan Jin'er immediately turned around and shouted, "Sister Yunzhu, come quickly! Look at Ning Yi, he said he wanted to sell me for money, Sister Yunzhu, please see his true face."

Nie Yunzhu came out after hearing the voice and glared at Yuan Jiner unhappily: "Okay, you start quarreling when you meet. Didn't you say you liked Li Heng before? If you really like him, I don't mind."

Yuan Jin'er's face flushed immediately: "Who likes it? I don't like it. I won't pay attention to you, Sister Yunzhu."

Having said that, he glared at Li Mu again before running away.

Li Mu and Nie Yunzhu looked at each other and smiled.

"Is Zhuji free today? Come with me to Hulu Valley."

Nie Yunzhu said: "Yes! The small blast furnace for steelmaking that you mentioned has been built. It's a good time to go and take a look."

The two men immediately mounted their horses and headed out of the city.

On the way, they talked about what had happened recently, some changes in the Su family, and some things about Su Tan'er. Li Mu did not hide anything.

When Nie Yunzhu heard Li Mu say that Su Tan'er held a long sword and captured two bandit leaders, his eyes widened and he covered his mouth and cried out in surprise.

She knew Su Tan'er and understood her basic information. Although she was the daughter of a merchant and an orthodox lady from a wealthy family, she had nothing to do with capturing two bandit leaders.

Although she knew that Li Mu was an expert in martial arts and might teach Su Tan'er some skills, this was different from making a delicate girl become a martial arts master in a short period of time.

She had also learned Songhe Boxing from Li Mu and had been learning it for more than a year. Although her health had improved a lot, she was still far from being a martial arts master.

"Ah! I didn't hear that Su Tan'er had learned martial arts before, and she was able to capture the bandit leader."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Of course there wasn't any before, because I was there!"

Nie Yunzhu asked curiously, "I heard that martial arts training needs to be started at a young age. It's too late to wait until adulthood. You have known each other for less than two years. Even if you teach her step by step, she won't be able to reach this level."

Li Mu suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, yes, if you want, I can teach you."

Nie Yunzhu's eyes lit up. Who wouldn't want to become a martial arts master? Especially since Nie Yunzhu had such an experience, she had never felt safe for so many years. Who wouldn't want to become a skilled martial artist and have strong strength?

With some anticipation and some nervousness, he said, "Can I...can I?"

Li Mu nodded: "You have a good physique, and you have practiced Songhe Quanjing for more than a year, which has laid a good foundation. You have a good character, too, both indifferent and tenacious. Maybe you can get started faster than Tan'er."

"But..." Li Mu paused for a moment: "What you just said is also right. You need to start practicing martial arts from a young age. It is actually very difficult to practice when you are older."

Seeing Nie Yunzhu's somewhat lost expression, Li Mu continued: "However, my martial arts are somewhat special. Only adults can practice them. The training method is also somewhat special. I wonder if you can accept it..."

Nie Yunzhu asked curiously, "What's special?"

Li Mu smiled and leaned close to her ear to tell her the requirements for practicing the Great Music of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth. Nie Yunzhu's face immediately turned red, even her ears turned red, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Li Mu.

Li Mu gently held her hand and said, "Yunzhu, we both understand each other's feelings. In fact, we don't need to care too much about the opinions of outsiders."

"Zhuji is very important in my future plans. In the future, Zhuji will grow bigger and bigger. You will encounter more things, business disputes, and of course, various dangers. At this time, in addition to hiring guards, being strong yourself is also a guarantee."

"As for me, I hope you can learn from me, not to take advantage of you, although I do want to take advantage of you. Think about it for two days and then give me an answer. You are not allowed to refuse."

Nie Yunzhu blushed and lowered her head, and after a while she uttered a soft "hmm".
