Chapter 164: If I don't go, wouldn't that be deceiving the monarch

Li Chen remembered that he didn't seem to have mentioned this matter to Wu Nanzhi, but he did indeed have this idea.

Looking at the beautiful young woman before him, and her shy appearance, Li Chen was very moved.

Since you've delivered yourself to my mouth, wouldn't it be excessive if I didn't eat?

Li Chen quickly expressed clearly that he needed her to serve in bed.

By the time Jiang Ningyue returned to the Jiang family, it was already night.

According to habit, she first came to the place where Li Chen was staying.

As a result, she stopped at the door, as the movement inside seemed even more intense.

This made Jiang Ningyue shocked, but also somewhat admiring.

His Majesty is too powerful, isn't he? It's already been several hours.

However, His Majesty is indeed young, and this wasn't a problem she should consider.

Thinking of this, she left quietly.

But after walking for a while, a familiar face came toward her, making her wonder if she had seen a ghost.

"Imperial Consort, why are you here?"

Jiang Ningyue couldn't believe her eyes.

"I just ate another meal and walked around for a while; what happened?"

Wu Nanzhi yawned and said, looking indeed a bit sleepy.

"If you are here, then who is in that room!"

Jiang Ningyue had a bad premonition.

There were only a few beautiful women in the Jiang estate; the person in the room certainly wasn't herself, nor was it the Imperial Consort Wu Nanzhi, so it was very obvious who it was.

"Is there someone in the room?"

Wu Nanzhi came to the door of the room as if nothing had happened, heard the movement inside, and roughly understood that it should be the Jiang family's little daughter-in-law, Dong Zhiqing.

She didn't expect that she had just said it casually, and she really went; this action capability was acceptable.

Even a little daughter-in-law like Dong Zhiqing could take the initiative to talk to Li Chen.

During the banquet, the beautiful woman Jiang Ningyue also asked Li Chen if their Jiang family's hospitality could satisfy Li Chen.

Li Chen expressed affirmation; how could there be anything unsatisfactory?

Hearing this, Jiang Ningyue felt much more at ease, just waiting for the two eldest young ladies to return.

In her view, she and her daughter-in-law were just a way of hospitality; the only ones who could truly hold onto Li Chen's thigh and enter the inner palace were the two eldest young ladies.

Li Chen also didn't expect that he would just come to the Jiang family to take a look and receive such good treatment; this trip was truly not a loss.

Sitting beside him, Dong Zhiqing made Li Chen very satisfied.

He was also seeing such an obedient and sensible woman for the first time; no matter what the requirement, she would try her best to cooperate, simply the representative of being able to endure hardship and work hard.

As for that beautiful woman Jiang Ningyue, who let her be born so alluring, she had spent a lot of Li Chen's time.

This made Li Chen somewhat curious about what the other three women in the estate looked like, and whether they were the stunning beauties in the mouths of those outside.

Jiang Ningyue indicated that the eldest young lady would return tonight, the second young lady would be a few days later, and as for the eldest wife, she wasn't too sure.

She wasn't afraid of Li Chen being interested in the women in the Jiang estate; she was afraid of Li Chen not being interested.

For this reason, she also said all kinds of good things during the banquet, selling the two young ladies of the Jiang family hard.

Jiang Ningyue also thought that by doing this, she was only trying to protect the Jiang family's industries; thinking of this, the guilt in her heart lessened a lot.

After last night's event, she also began to find her daughter-in-law pleasing to the eye.

Because her daughter-in-law had indeed succeeded in making Li Chen stay in the Jiang family temporarily.

After dinner, Li Chen only needed a look, and this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Jiang Ningyue and Dong Zhiqing, knew that this morning's task was about to begin.

Li Chen seemed to have forgotten what he was prepared to do when he came to Shanghe City.

Wu Nanzhi to the side didn't remind him either; in her view, His Majesty had his own sense of proportion, as long as His Majesty was happy.

This morning, there was actually another matter in the Jiang estate, which was the selection of servants.

One hundred excellent servant candidates were waiting in the side courtyard outside the Jiang estate.

Lin Mo, the Son of Destiny, was also among them; even though he hadn't slept well yesterday, he was still in good spirits today.

But these one hundred people waited for a long time, and nearby there were only Jiang family maids, not the mistress of the Jiang family.

The servant candidates nearby were all discussing why the mistress of the Jiang family hadn't come yet, and whether something had happened.

Lin Mo was very disdainful of these remarks, thinking in his heart: you all can't even see this, and you still have the nerve to compete with me for the servant position?

In Lin Mo's view, the reason the mistress of the Jiang family was late was to test the servants' patience.

If they didn't even have this bit of endurance, how could they withstand the temptation of the Jiang family's female relatives in the future?

Lin Mo stood straight, from morning until almost noon.

There were already many servants nearby looking for a place to cool off, or finding steps to sit on.

In Lin Mo's view, these people were just waiting to be eliminated.

At this time, an elegant figure slowly appeared; it was the mistress of the Jiang family, Jiang Ningyue.

As soon as this stunningly beautiful woman appeared, she attracted the attention of everyone present.

No matter how many times Lin Mo had seen Jiang Ningyue, he felt amazed.

Jiang Ningyue's mature and plump figure was the perfection that countless men could see but not reach.

If one could gain her favor, then one would simply have everything.

Lin Mo wanted to look very much, but he felt that the appearance of such an alluring mistress of the Jiang family was also a test; he had to look straight ahead and act like a gentleman.

As long as he entered the Jiang estate, there would be plenty of time to look, and even opportunities to get in touch; there was no need to leave a bad impression at this time.

Lin Mo felt his guess was correct; when the beautiful woman Jiang Ningyue walked over, she eliminated a batch of people who looked impatient. Only less than 70 people remained at the scene.

And today's second round of testing was a written test.

That's right, you heard it right; the servant test also had a written test.

That was, according to Jiang Ningyue's requirements, to write some practical things.

This surprised many people at the scene; many of them had studied, but there was no such thing as literary talent.

Lin Mo almost laughed out loud; he had poetic talent and was skilled in both literature and martial arts.

In his view, these tests were simply tailor-made for him.

Why choose servants; why not just let him in directly?

However, the process that should be followed still had to be followed; without the contrast of this group of people to the side, how could his excellence be highlighted?

There were many people at the scene who also looked at Lin Mo with envy, because they knew Lin Mo and knew that Lin Mo certainly wouldn't have a problem with this hurdle.

!

The facts were indeed so; with Lin Mo's talent, no matter what difficult problem Jiang Ningyue proposed, he could write an answer.

He passed the second hurdle smoothly.

Only ten people could pass, and these ten people would compete in the third hurdle tomorrow to select three people to become servants of the Jiang estate.

Those who weren't qualified to participate in the third round were all dejected, feeling as if they had lost five million.

Those who obtained the qualification for the third round were incomparably excited, which meant they were one step closer to the Jiang estate.

Seeing Jiang Ningyue's departing figure, Lin Mo's heart moved; he knew this was a perfect opportunity.

He tidied his clothes and stepped forward, his pace steady and confident.

When he walked close to the mistress, he bowed slightly, performed a standard salute, and said: "Madam Jiang, I hope you are well; I am Lin Mo, and I had the honor of seeing your demeanor at a poetry gathering, which I still remember to this day."

His voice was warm as jade, and his demeanor showed his style; these were all things he had practiced last night.

This kind of talk looked like flirting, but there were actually many ways to it.

It both expressed his admiration for this beautiful woman, Madam Jiang, and indirectly stated that he had appeared at a high-end event like a poetry gathering and had a good performance.

That was to make Jiang Ningyue recall whether the two of them had met.

Madam Jiang heard this, tilted her head slightly, and her gaze lingered on Lin Mo for a moment.

After Lin Mo said this, she did indeed feel that this kid looked a bit familiar.

Perhaps if she thought about it seriously, she could remember who he was.

But now, Jiang Ningyue's mind was full of Li Chen, and she couldn't think of other things at all.

If it weren't for the servant test waiting for her to come forward, she wouldn't have been able to come out of Li Chen's room.

The reason she was in such a hurry to leave was because she felt she had been here for a while, and didn't know if her daughter-in-law could hold up, so she wanted to hurry back to change shifts.

Yesterday she might have felt her daughter-in-law was doing something wrong, but now she also understood that this really couldn't be blamed on her daughter-in-law!

Hearing Lin Mo say this, Jiang Ningyue perfunctorily said: "Oh? So it's Young Master Lin Mo; you do look a bit familiar; I hope you can also have an outstanding performance in the following servant test."

After saying this, she left this place.

Looking at her swaying figure, Lin Mo was incomparably excited in his heart; he knew his goal had been achieved.

He had been very close just now, and he could smell a faint, alluring fragrance that made one's soul linger.

Lin Mo said loudly: "Thank you, Madam Jiang, for your encouragement; I will certainly do my best and not let you down."

I don't know if Jiang Ningyue heard it, but anyway, he felt his first impression this time should be good.

Lin Mo felt his main target was still the eldest young lady of the Jiang family, but if it were Madam Jiang, that wouldn't be impossible either.

Thinking of this, he was a bit conflicted in his heart, always feeling that one couldn't have both fish and bear's paw.

He could only choose one main strategy; if someone noticed he was fickle, then he might end up with nothing.

Especially those strong women of the Jiang family, who wouldn't allow their men to still be flirting outside.

Lin Mo understood this point very well, so he decided to focus on the eldest young lady of the Jiang family first.

Li Chen didn't have as much trouble as he thought, because with his status and strength, women defaulted to the fact that he couldn't have only one woman, and no woman dared to say she could monopolize Li Chen.

Facts proved that as long as you were excellent enough, your women would help you find other women.

On the other side, the reason the eldest young lady of the Jiang family, Jiang Rong, didn't return yesterday was because Lin Yue'e had just taken office, and someone went to her to report Jiang Rong for communicating with demons.

In the May Tian Ce Dynasty, raising spirit beasts was fine, but if it was in a city, one needed to register with the relevant departments.

Even though sects were numerous nearby, the human race still relatively rejected the demon race.

Spirit beasts were different from the demon race; spirit beasts were in animal form, but the demon race was human-shaped.

In the territory of the human race, where could they tolerate the development and growth of the demon race? This had a precedent.

Li Chen hadn't even seen the demon race in the Imperial Capital, and the demon race didn't dare to go to such places.

Here, sects were numerous and personnel were mixed, which was a region where the demon race was relatively easy to hide.

Communicating with demons was a crime, and Jiang Rong also cooperated with Lin Yue'e's investigation for a day.

To a descendant of a commercial noble family like Jiang Rong, Lin Yue'e was the most terrifying person.

This new City Supervisor had immense power.

A single word could make the Jiang family's industries vanish instantly.

However, Lin Yue'e could also be considered to be enforcing the law impartially; she didn't find any evidence, so she let her go.

Jiang Rong had only just returned to the Jiang family now.

But after entering, she felt it was very strange; why were her aunt and sister-in-law nowhere to be seen?
