"But Chu Mo can't be entirely blamed for this, right? Mom, you agreed to our initial cooperation."

Li Zhenying looked at Hongfu Nu in confusion and asked the question in her heart.

Hong Funu shook her head and said: "It is true that this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Chu Mo. When the two companies cooperated, we also wanted to work together so that we could advance and retreat together in the future, but now our family has been forcibly labeled as Chu Mo. , I can’t even take it off.”

"Now, even if Chu Mo hadn't come to visit today, it would have been impossible for His Majesty to reuse our Duke of Wei. Unless there were any changes in the border that forced Your Majesty to re-activate your father, otherwise, it would be difficult for the Duke of Wei to reuse him. There will be a future.”

With a sigh, a brief silence fell in the room.

After a long time, Li Zhenying spoke again: "So this time we agreed to cooperate with Chu Mo, have you made any decision?"

Hongfunu glanced at Yang Hongyu happily and said, "Our Xiaoying is still the smartest."

"Indeed, since we can no longer get off Chu Mo's pirate ship, we can only tide over the difficulties with him and survive in the face of death."

Hearing her mother's words, Li Zhenying's eyes flashed with hope.

Although it was only for a moment, it did not escape Hong Fu Nu's eyes.

Hong Funu looked at Li Zhenying seriously and said: "After today, there will be no eldest lady of the Li family in the world, only the fourth young master of the Li family. From now on, you and Chu Mo will only have business dealings. Friendship between men.”

"If you can do it, then mother will promise to continue to communicate with you. If you can't do it, then don't go out here, or you can go to him privately, but if I find out, mother will have no choice but to Treat it as if I don’t have you as my daughter anymore.”

Li Zhenying looked at her mother blankly, tears welling up unconsciously.

But Hong Fu Nu was as stone-hearted and unmoved at all. She just stared into her eyes, waiting for her answer.

After a long time, Li Zhenying wiped away her tears, looked at Hongfu Nu with great determination and said, "Mother, I understand. From now on, there will be no Li Zhenying in the world, only Young Master Li."

Hong Fu Nu sighed and held her daughter in her arms lovingly.

Soon, the steward's voice came from outside the door, saying that the Qianniu Guards outside had been withdrawn, and the emperor's ban on Duke Wei's mansion had been lifted, and everyone could enter and exit freely.

At the same time, Wang Dehai also immediately informed Chu Mo of Li Shimin's pardon order.

Chu Mo curled his lips and secretly thought that Li Er was really not a thing, and he had to force himself to threaten him before he was willing to let him go.

However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, although Li Shimin lifted Li Jing's ban, he did not order the release of Cheng Yaojin from Duke Lu's mansion.

Cheng Yaojin was still looking up to the sky in the yard and sighing, secretly cursing himself for making careless friends.

------------

As time went by, the appointed time soon came.

Li Shimin and Hui Jue walked out of the Suzaku Gate together and went to Shiweitian.

Not long after the two entered Shiweitian, Chu Xin with a frosty face and Li Zhenying with an expressionless face also entered Shiweitian one after another.

Seeing Li Zhenying come in, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and felt very angry.

Well, Li Jing, you really don't know Chu Mo. It's no wonder that the other party asked Wang Dehai to send a message to him to lift the ban on Duke Wei.

The ban had just been lifted, and he couldn't wait to send his daughter to have a tryst with her lover.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Li Shimin's mouth, and he looked at Li Zhenying with an inexplicable look. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Hearing the movement in front, Chu Mo walked out slowly.

When everyone saw Chu Mo with a bruised nose and swollen face, and then looked at Yang Hongyu with a frosty face behind him, they immediately began to make up their own minds.

When Yang Hongyu saw the eyes of everyone looking at her, she immediately knew that they had misunderstood. She glared at Chu Mo fiercely, then put her spear on the floor and said:

"If you have anything to do, solve it quickly. Get out of here as soon as you're done."

Everyone looked at each other, guessing that Yang Hongyu was in a bad mood. Maybe Chu Mo had offended this aunt. Didn't he see that all the men in his family were beaten so badly?

Only Li Zhenying, who was hiding behind, glanced at Chu Mo guiltily and then turned her head to the side.

Li Shimin and Hui Jue looked at each other, and Hui Jue was the first to speak: "Chu Mo, no secret words tomorrow, we have the money ready, let's do the deal now."

With that said, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo took a look and found that it was a bank note issued by Tianxia Bank.

Dang Ji opened his swollen mouth, coughed, and a mouthful of thick yellow phlegm went straight to Hui Jue's door.

How could Hui Jue have thought that Chu Mo didn't have martial ethics and would open his mouth to make a sneak attack without saying a word.

He wanted to dodge, but there was no room to move. He was either Li Shimin or his fellow apprentices, unless he knocked them away.

There was no other way, Hui Jue could only wave up her sleeves and block the mouthful of thick phlegm with her sleeves.

Looking at Chu Mo angrily, Hui Jue shouted: "Chu Mo, what do you mean now?"

Chu Mo looked at Hui Jue like a fool. If he didn't have that big face that had been beaten into a pig's head by Li Jing, the irony effect would definitely be overwhelming.

"Old bald donkey, don't pretend to understand. What I have in my hand is your Buddhist Bible. You just want to exchange the treasure with a few scraps of paper that are so painful to wipe your butt. Are you dreaming?"

"What's more, I haven't even started auctioning this thing yet, and you're insulting me with a bunch of wipes. I think you're talking nonsense."

Hui Jue was scolded by Chu Mo and looked a little ugly.

Seeing this, the slightly younger monk behind him hurriedly stepped forward and explained a few words to Huijue in a low voice.

Only then did Hui Jue realize that because she usually ignored secular affairs, she didn't know that Chu Mo's Shiweitian did not recognize banknotes from other banks, and he had his own bank.

Bringing another bank's banknotes to trade with the other party is a slap in the face. No wonder they don't like me so much.

With a blush on his face, Hui Jue glanced at his sleeves covered with phlegm, secretly thinking that the humiliation he had endured was in vain.

He bowed to Chu Mo and said, "Almsgiver Chu, the poor monk just made a fool of himself. It is said that those who don't know are not guilty. Please forgive me, Almsgiver Chu."

Chu Moxing snorted and ignored Hui Jue. Instead, he looked around at the crowd and said, "You all who came here today must be interested in the Mahaprajna Sutra."

"I'm not talking nonsense here. In a word, the one with the highest price will get it. The lowest price is 1000 million taels of silver."

"If you can't get a good price, then I will spread the news and let the people in the entire Chang'an City participate in the bidding."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin and Hui Jue's expressions changed, and then they secretly exchanged glances.
