I made the villain right.

After Li Muci entered the mansion, he carefully hid in a secluded corner, hunched over, and stared closely at the movements outside.

Fan Hua was about to go out when he saw this scene and walked towards him.

"You're stealing here." Fan Hua's voice was somewhat teasing.

Li Muci was paying close attention to the situation outside.

Fan Hua's sudden voice frightened him so much that he trembled all over.

He raised his head suddenly, with fear still in his eyes.

After seeing clearly that it was Fan Hua, he couldn't help but give him a fierce look.

He patted his chest with his hand, took a deep breath and said, "I think you wanted to scare me to death."

Fan Hua looked at Li Muci and said with a half-smile: "I think you are guilty."

Li Muci stood up straight and said calmly: "I'm hiding from people, what do you know!"

Fan Hua raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he teased: "There is someone you are afraid of?"

When Li Muci thought of the person who gave him such a headache, he couldn't help but sigh, his face full of helplessness: "This is all Shi Jin's fault."

Fan Hua frowned slightly, looking puzzled: "Hmm? What do you mean?"

"She introduced me to Xie Ru, and then Xie Ru was attracted by my beauty, and now she is pestering me."

Fan Hua was somewhat incredulous, and looked at Li Muci with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"I remember that his crush was Shi Shaoqing, how come he fell in love with you?"

When Li Muci heard this, he jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, his eyes wide open with anger: "From your tone, am I a bad person?"

"That's good to know." After saying this, Fan Hua took off the sachet from his waist, gently brushed off the dust, his eyes full of cherishment.

Even though there was nothing on it.

"This is the sachet that Mianmian made for me. Look at the craftsmanship. No one else can compare to it."

After saying that, he tied the sachet back around his waist and walked straight past Li Muci.

Li Muci stood aside, dumbfounded, watching Fan Hua's series of actions.

After he realized what was happening, his face turned pale and red, and he laughed out of anger.

"Wow! Is he showing off to me?"

“Who wants to know?”

Li Muci was so angry that he was speechless: "How can there be such a disgusting person like him in the world!"

After leaving the house, Fan Hua went directly to Baodian Pavilion.

The shopkeeper of Baodian Pavilion is concentrating on checking the accounts.

Suddenly, I saw a figure approaching. I looked up suddenly and when I saw Fan Hua's face, my heart skipped a beat and I couldn't help but become nervous.

The voice trembled a little: "Pavilion...Pavilion Master, are you here to make hairpins again?"

Fan Hua nodded slightly.

Suddenly, he took out a blueprint from his bosom and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Huang has a unique vision and is good at design. Can you help me find out whether the hairpin in this picture matches the sachet on my waist?"

Shopkeeper Huang took it carefully and examined the hairpin on the drawing with great attention, looking very serious and professional.

But she would also glance at Fan Hua's expression out of the corner of her eye, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She was confused by Fan Hua's actions.

The Pavilion Master didn't even let her see it yesterday, so why did he give it to her today?

Is he testing her?

Shopkeeper Huang's eyes moved back and forth between the blueprint and the sachet on Fan Hua's waist.

My mind was also churning.

She has been in Baodian Pavilion for a long time, and often deals with all kinds of customers. Understanding people's hearts and guessing what they are thinking have long been her basic skills.

Looking at the sachet, the embroidery technique was immature. In her eyes, it was not exquisite and could only be barely acceptable.

But the Pavilion Master wears it on himself, which means he likes this sachet, or likes the person who gave it to him.

As for the hairpin on the drawing, she had looked at it and found it to be indeed good, with a clever and unique design.

After a moment, her face was filled with respect and smiles, and she said carefully, "Master, this hairpin is unique and its design is exquisite. The decoration on the hairpin is smart and elegant, showing luxury in a low-key way. It matches the sachet on your waist, which is a match made in heaven."

"Yes, I think so too. Madam and I are in tune with each other and gave me this sachet."

Shopkeeper Huang's expression froze, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

She finally understood what the Pavilion Master meant by this action.

He wanted to show off his love for his wife in front of others.

Shopkeeper Yu Huang immediately put on an expression of admiration and envy.

"I see. No wonder I saw that the embroidery on this sachet was unique and exquisite. It was obviously made by an extraordinary person. It turned out to be the masterpiece of Madam. This sachet and the hairpin complement each other. It is really a perfect match. The friendship between Pavilion Master and Madam is really enviable."

No one doesn't like to be praised, especially the sweet words that he and Shi Jin are a match made in heaven.

Fan Hua was no exception. Under the attack of Manager Huang's sugar-coated bullets, she completely lost her usual cool and reserved demeanor.

The corners of his mouth were visibly curved into a beautiful and pleasant arc.

There was also a bit more gentleness and tolerance in Fan Hua's eyes when he looked at Shopkeeper Huang.

"You should go back and rest early today. I will be the one to close the door of Baodian Pavilion."

"Yes, Pavilion Master." Shopkeeper Huang responded respectfully with a calm expression.

However, beneath her lowered eyes, there was a faint glimmer of joy that was difficult to conceal.

But in my heart I was cheering: That’s great!

"Hahaha, my A Yu is quite childish." At this time, Shi Jin's laughter came from a pavilion in Fan Mansion.

"You shouldn't have embroidered that sachet for him. Now he's showing it off to everyone he meets. People who don't know him would think he got some treasure."

Hearing Li Muci revealing Fan Hua's behavior beside her, Shi Jin glared at him.

He put on an air of protecting his child, and said with a sharp look, "Huh? You have a problem with that! He can show off if he wants to, but it's just an eyesore to you."

Li Muci shrugged and gestured to close his mouth.

Li Muci remembered something and quickly changed the subject.

He glared at Shi Jin and said angrily, "I almost forgot about this. You introduced me to Xie Ru, which is equivalent to selling me out. Now what do you say we should do?"

Shi Jin's eyes rolled around, a barely perceptible cunning flashed across his face, and he quickly bowed and said, "I'm sorry, the situation was urgent at the time, so I could only use you to block the knife."

She said seriously, "Hiding like this is not a long-term solution. If you really don't like Senior Sister Xie, you should tell her openly."

When Li Muci heard this, his face instantly drooped like a deflated ball.

He complained, "Do you think I didn't say that? But she just won't listen, like a plaster that can't be shaken off."

Li Muci was feeling distressed when suddenly the words Fan Hua had just said to him emerged in his mind.

Then he asked in confusion: "I heard from my cousin that Miss Xie liked Shi Shaoqing, why did she suddenly fall in love with someone else? Are women so fickle?"

Shi Jin frowned, not agreeing with Li Muci's words.

She explained, "No, she had a crush on Big Brother before, but Big Brother already had someone in his heart. After he told her, she no longer liked him. She made a wise choice."

Li Muci's eyes lit up when he heard the key point of this statement.

"The one you like? Yes! I can also use this method to shirk responsibility."

Shi Jin glanced at him and asked curiously, "Who is your crush?"

Li Muci's eyes rolled around, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Lend me the deer."

When Shi Jin heard this, he quickly refused and said, "No, Zhilu already has someone she loves. If you use her as a shield, it will ruin her reputation."

"That……"

Li Muci frowned and fell into deep thought again.

After a moment, a name suddenly flashed through his mind, and he blurted out: "Then Miss Shi, lend it to me."

Shi Jin's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself:

If you dare to use Shi Xiaojin as a shield, you probably think your life is too long.

"I can't make the decision about her affairs. You have to ask her what she wants."

Li Muci looked puzzled: "Why? Isn't she your bodyguard?"

"She is a guard, but we are not in a master-servant relationship. She has absolute freedom."

"Then I'll go ask her now, is she at home now?"

Shi Jin showed Li Muci the way and said, "Yes, go straight along that corridor, go through a moon-shaped door, turn left, and you will find her residence."

After receiving the instructions, Li Muci couldn't wait to rush to Shi Xiaomian's residence.

"What did you say?" After hearing Li Muci's request, Shi Xiaomian's eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief.

"I would like you to pretend to be my lover and put on a show in front of Xie Ru." Li Muci looked at Shi Xiaomian expectantly.

"I don't want to." Shi Xiaomian refused flatly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Seeing this, Li Muci still refused to give up and threatened: "If Miss Shi doesn't help me, I will spread the news that you got drunk in my house and let everyone know."

Shi Xiaomian is a person who responds to soft words but not hard ones.

Shi Xiaomian was not someone who would be easily controlled. Facing Li Muci's threat, she took out a whip and placed it on the table, warning him: "You dare!"

Upon seeing this, Li Muci knew that Shi Xiaomian would not fall for it, so he changed his strategy.

He quickly put on a flattering face and begged, "Miss Shi, how about this? Just treat it as hush money for me and help me this time. As long as you agree, I promise to keep this matter to myself and never tell anyone. Please."

Shi Xiaomian didn't want Li Muci to bother her, she just thought that if she could shut him up, it would not be impossible.

"Okay, I can help you, but you have to listen to me." Shi Xiaomian took back the whip and said with his hands on his chest.

Li Muci was delighted to see Shi Xiaomian finally give in, and quickly responded, "Okay, I'll listen to Lady Shi!"

Shi Xiaomian thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, ask her to come to Fan Mansion and we can meet."

"Okay." Li Muci agreed happily.
