Marquis Wan Qing looked out the window at the gloomy sky with a confused look: "Everything in the world is unpredictable, and His Highness the King of Qin may not be the final winner. Mother, please stop asking. After a while, mother will understand her son's hard work."
The old lady did not dare to ask any more questions at the moment.
Now that his son has spoken, it only shows that Gu Xiyan is really capable.
The little Gu family and their daughter rushed back to Manfang Garden angrily. Liu Junyan's eyes were slightly red, "Mother, is my daughter going to have to suffer the loss of being mute today? Now everyone in the Hou family is watching the jokes between mother and daughter."
She was not willing to give in, and even her father spoke for Gu Xiyan.
She is obviously his father's biological daughter, how can his father protect an outsider?
"Your father wants to protect her, what can I do? Not only your father, but also your grandmother also protects her. I couldn't tell before that she is actually capable." Little Gu gritted her teeth with hatred.
If she had known this, she should not have taken in Gu Xiyan out of consideration for her little relationship with her sister. Otherwise, she would not have let her own daughter get hurt today.
"I will never let her have an easy time." Liu Junyan said suddenly.
"My child, don't be stupid. Your father has spoken, and if you continue to embarrass her, it will only make your father unhappy." Little Gu was afraid that her precious daughter would do something crazy.
Liu Junyan's eyes flashed slightly: "Even if my father doesn't want to drive my sister away, isn't my sister still my mother's daughter? My sister is not young anymore, and usually people at this age are already married. My sister was canceled by His Highness King Qin, and her reputation is not good.
.For the sake of my sister, shouldn’t my mother find a match for her as soon as possible and marry her off as soon as possible?”
Little Gu met Liu Junyan's bright eyes and understood immediately.
Her daughter wanted her to marry Gu Xi as soon as possible, no matter what kind of person he was. In order to make outsiders unable to say anything, she only had to choose some people from powerful families to marry.
If this is the case, it's easy to handle.
Young Mrs. Gu and Liu Junyan looked at each other. The two mother and daughter had only one thought in their minds, which was to marry off Gu Xiyan, a scourge, so that their family would be at peace.
On the other side, after Zhou Mu heard the news that the land in the southern suburbs had been sold, he checked the update records and found out that the buyer was Rong Song.
Thinking back to the time when he met Rong Song at the door of his home, for some reason he remembered the people in the carriage at that time.
He didn't see who was in the carriage, but the incense the person was wearing made him remember it deeply.
After that, he specifically checked Rong Song's current residence, Sihai Inn on Tianhe Road, which surprised him.
Rong Song has the money to buy the two thousand acres of wasteland in the southern suburbs, but has no money to rent a house to live in?
His impression of Rong Song was still the same as before, and he only knew that he was an unruly noble son. At that time, Rong Song was still the fourth son of the Rong family with great fame, not the down-and-out Rong Song later.
After the land in the southern suburbs was sold, it became the biggest topic in the capital. People all over the city were talking about the fact that this cursed land was finally sold.
Many people are asking who bought this land.
Zhou Mu was riding a carriage through the busy city and heard passers-by discussing why some people were not afraid of death and dared to spend thousands of taels to buy this land.
Most people still believe that this land is unlucky.
"What are you thinking about, young master?" Qi Zhiyuan asked Zhou Mu curiously without saying anything.
"I said last time that we should pay attention to the next major events in the capital. The land in the southern suburbs was sold. It is indeed a big event. Is it related to the person last time?" Zhou Mu's eyes were dark.
.
Qi Zhiyuan didn't know who "that person" was for a moment.
"Who are you talking about?" Qi Zhiyuan was confused.
Zhou Mu opened the curtain and seemed to be saying to himself: "I should have seen who the person in the carriage was last time."
Qi Zhiyuan's curiosity was aroused: "Master, let me tell you about that person..."
"Have you forgotten the charcoal incident?" Zhou Mu felt helpless.
Qi Zhiyuan's eyes lit up: "Young master thinks that the buyer of this land in the southern suburbs is the person behind the charcoal incident?!"
After a moment, he felt something was wrong again: "No, the buyer of the wasteland in the southern suburbs is Rong Song. Didn't Rong Song just arrive in the capital? How could he be the beneficiary of the charcoal incident?"
Zhou Mu had his own idea: "It's just my intuition."
There was a curtain across that day, and his instinct made him want to see who was in the carriage, but the woman's voice he heard at that time made it difficult for him to forcefully lift the curtain to see what was going on, as this would be inappropriate.
If he had known that Rong Song was the buyer of the land, he should have forcefully lifted the curtain to see who was sitting in the carriage.
"Young master's intuition has always been very accurate." Qi Zhiyuan felt that there was no doubt about this.
Zhou Mu pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Turn around and head to Tianhe Street."
"Master, are you going home?" Qi Zhiyuan was a little surprised.
"Sihai Inn is also on Tianhe Street. I'd like to wait for a while." Zhou Mu put down the curtain and made a decision.
The carriage went to Sihai Inn on Tianhe Street in this way.
There were less people at Sihai Inn at this time, and the shopkeeper was taking a nap. When someone tapped on the table, he opened his eyes and saw a stunning man wearing a scarlet official robe.
During these years of running an inn in the capital, he had seen all kinds of people, but he had never seen a man with such an outstanding appearance.
He stared at Zhou Mu with dull eyes, unable to recover for a while.
"Isn't my young master very good-looking?" Qi Zhiyuan joked at the side.
No wonder the shopkeeper was dumbfounded. He had served the young master for so many years, and he would be fascinated by the young master's face occasionally.
Young Master, this skin is really good.
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly: "You are so handsome. I have never seen anyone better looking than the Young Master!"
Zhou Mu glanced at the shopkeeper and asked: "There is a guest named Rong Song staying at the inn? Which room does he live in? Take me to see him."
The shopkeeper knew that this good-looking man was a high-ranking official and did not dare to neglect him. He was deeply impressed by Rong Song because he was also a young man with extremely outstanding appearance.
"Master Rong lives in the guest room with a herringbone number, but Master Rong is not in the inn at the moment." The shopkeeper knows the guests in the store very well.
When Zhou Mu heard the key point of "the dragon sees its head but not its tail", he thought thoughtfully: "You mean Rong Song doesn't live in the inn?"
The shopkeeper retorted: "Master Rong seems to be very busy. He disappears during the day, but he will come back to check in at night and leave again at dawn the next day."
Qi Zhiyuan thought this made sense: "Perhaps Mr. Rong is so busy that he leaves early and comes back late."
"I want to see the guest room where Rong Song lives." Zhou Mu had other ideas.
The shopkeeper immediately shook his head: "This is impossible. How can I bring people in to watch the guest's room?"
Zhou Mu was about to answer the call when he suddenly heard Zhao De's voice outside, indicating that he was about to enter the inn.
