"Sleeping." Mu Yan saw her turning to look for the maid and said without raising her head.
"Sleeping?" Huo Xi was a little confused.
"I clicked on their sleeping holes."
Huh? Huo Xi glared at him first, and then came closer: "Is there really a sleeping hole?" with a curious look on his face.
"Do you want to try it?" Mu Yan looked up at her leisurely.
Huo Xi shook her head desperately. Is she stupid? Go try.
The room became quiet. Mu Yan flipped through the account book he had just received and nodded: "I seem to have earned more this year than last year."
Huo Xi raised her eyebrows, that's not the case.
Seeing her proud look, Mu Yan raised the corner of his mouth, but quickly suppressed it.
"Why do you love money so much?"
"Who doesn't love money! Money makes me feel safe."
A sense of security? Mu Yan tilted his head, and Qian Shao felt unsafe?
"You have made a lot of money over the years, right? You are one of the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. I heard that Guangfeng Shui can sit in the first row at meetings of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."
Huo Xi looked proud: "Is it easy for me? Before, our Guangfengshui couldn't even enter the inner hall to participate in the meeting. We had to bring our own small bench to sit outside the hall, otherwise we would stand." Tsk tsk, where we are now, that's
It's not easy at all.
"Yes. Who dares to underestimate your Guangfeng Shui now?"
"Many people underestimate Guangfeng Water. We only have two stores in the capital."
Which city along the canal doesn't have a Guangfengshui shop? This girl has always been low-key and very nice. Mu Yan lowered his head and smiled.
This paralyzed face is smiling?
Huo Xi's eyes widened, thinking that she had seen wrongly, and leaned over to take a look... When she came closer, Mu Yan suddenly turned his head to look at her, looking straight into her dark eyes.
The two of them were so close that their noses almost touched each other. Mu Yan's breathing became heavier.
The fragrance comes gently, slowly and lightly. Is this what the world calls a woman's fragrance?
Huo Xi was startled by her reflection in Mu Yan's eyes and jumped away. Her ears felt hot and she looked uncomfortable: "Why are you so close to me?"
Mu Yan calmed down his racing heart and pretended to look at the account book unintentionally: "I was sitting quietly, but who suddenly came over?"
Huo Xi choked and jumped: "This is my house, this is my room! Who climbed over the wall and came in in the middle of the night! Are you a flower picker?"
As soon as the words came out, they felt inappropriate and quickly shut up.
Mu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, yes, in the middle of the night, he climbed over the wall into the boudoir and picked flowers like yours. Seeing that her breath was slightly confused, Mu Yan felt a little happy in his heart.
Seeing her rubbing her hands, her eyes flashed, she stood up and closed the window lattice.
"You!" A lonely man and a widower still closed the window! Huo Xigang was about to jump away when Mu Yan said lightly, "Your nanny's stepsister went to report you to the Wu family." He was shocked.
"What?"
Seeing Huo Xi's eyes widening, Mu Yan wanted to step forward to comfort her, so he moved his feet towards her and then paused.
"She heard the conversation between your nanny and your nanny, so she stole money from her husband's family, went all the way to Beijing, inquired about the Duke's mansion, and approached Wu. She tipped off to Wu and asked for a house with three entrances.
One thousand taels of gold as a benefit. Now the Wu family and Wu Youcai are coaxing her into raising her in the house, and they are still waiting for Wu Youcai to bring her into the Wu family as an official wife in the next year."
You idiot, I don’t know how you will die by then.
After hearing this, Huo Xi was stunned and didn't react for a long time. When he did, his mind was buzzing with confusion and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
He calmed down and looked at Mu Yan: "You, what are you talking about, my nanny, my nanny brother? Wu Youcai?" And the Wu family?
How did he know?
Huo Xi was a little unable to think. She had never told him about her past identity. How did he know about it? Did he just know it, or did he know it from the beginning?
Mu Yan looked at her, saw her dumbfounded, and sighed, "I knew it from the beginning."
He helped her sit down on the chair, touched her hand, and looked down. Her fingers were tender and tender, but they were cold. There was a brazier in the room, but her hands were frozen. I didn't know whether it was cold or cold.
Scared.
He poured her a cup of hot tea, put it in her hand, and asked her to hold it with both hands.
Sitting on the chair next to her, he looked at her: "I knew from the beginning that when you were six years old, you were running away in the woods with your infant brother in your arms. I happened to pass by and diverted the pursuers away for you."
"Later, when the Marquis of Xincheng was granted the title, I went to congratulate you and saw you again at the door. You were dragging your uncle to watch the fun. Your uncle was picking up wedding coins, but you stared at the British Duke with a look of resentment. I
I had doubts in my heart, so I checked it out and found out the inner story."
Huo Xi looked at him with a look of disbelief.
So early. He knew his identity so early. He was still the benefactor of himself and Nian'er? He also defrauded him of his money, sold bald butter and treated him like a fat sheep.
"You entered the Huo family's household registration, and I helped change the ages of the two siblings. Now Wu Youcai is checking which family has a sixteen-year-old girl and a ten-year-old boy in Beijing. I'm afraid he won't be able to find out.
.”
Huo Xi sat up in surprise, "Wu Youcai is checking us?"
Seeing that the hot water in the cup spilled out and fell on her hand, she didn't even notice it. Mu Yan sighed.
He looked around, found a handkerchief and handed it to her: "Don't worry, Wu Youcai can't find out. Not only your household registration is in Jiangning, but your age doesn't match. But..."
"But what?"
"But Mrs. Gan has exposed your nanny. Your nanny has been in constant contact with you, and there are traces of it. It will only be a matter of time before Wu uses the channels of the Duke's Palace to find out about you."
Huo Xi got up and walked around the room.
The story she asked the storyteller to tell had not reached Zhang Fu's ears, so why did Wu find them?
What should we do about Nian'er? What should we do about this big family? Wu family relies on the power of the Duke's Palace, and if they want to do evil things to them, they may be unable to avoid it.
What will happen to Guangfeng Water then? So many people still depend on Guangfeng Water.
And the wet nurse! Yes, where is the wet nurse?
"Where's my wet nurse? Did they capture my wet nurse?"
Huo Xi's hands were trembling. Her wet nurse was pitiful. She had been poisoned and mute by the Wu family. Now she was going to be poisoned again? Her eyes immediately turned red.
"I don't know what's going on over there in Songjiang. But now I'm keeping an eye on the Wu family and the Wu Mansion, and I see that they haven't had any contact with outsiders. Your wet nurse should be safe."
"Wu and the others haven't had any contact with outsiders, but that doesn't mean my nanny is safe. If they catch my nanny, they don't have to take her to the capital to deal with her. How about they just interrogate her in Songjiang?" Huo Xi couldn't sit still.
Worried about the safety of the nanny and the nanny, my heart was filled with panic.
"Don't worry, I have sent people to Songjiang quickly. We just keep an eye on Wu and Wu Youcai, and we will know the situation in Songjiang. Just wait patiently."
Huo Xi couldn't ask him why he knew her identity so early but pretended not to know what he was thinking. Now she was only worried about her nanny in Songjiang. She wished she could fly there immediately.
But everyone from the Wu family has come to Songjiang, and I'm afraid it's too late now. We can only wait for news from Mu Yan.
"You said Wu Youcai is checking us?" Thinking of Wu Youcai, Huo Xi narrowed his eyes.
