The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 104

"Huh?" The steward pretended to be stupid.

"Although the shop was handed over to me, my father said that I should decide everything myself, but," Mu Qingyu endured the grievance and glanced at the steward, "but as long as my father speaks, I can go back now."

"Forget it, I'm still with you now, just listen," Mu Erye said, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't cover it up."

The manager was already sweating profusely, and Mu Qingyu was present, how could he speak directly?

Erye Mu said impatiently: "If you don't want to talk about it, go back first, I have something to do."

He had to look for Xu Yuzhou, and told Xu Yuzhou not to investigate any further.

"Where is Second Master going? Let's go with Second Master, my little one." The steward said cheekily.

"Do you think I'm here to play?" Second Master Mu waved his hand in dismay, "Go back to the shop first, I'll come to you if I need something."

Erye Mu sat on pins and needles, so he simply stood up and said quickly, "I'll tell you about your business later."

After saying this to Mu Qingyu, he hurried out.

Only Mu Qingyu and the steward were left in the room.

The steward had already been sweating profusely, and didn't dare to wipe it off.He treated himself like a stone sculpture and tried not to move to avoid attracting Mu Qingyu's attention.

Mu Qingyu slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a half-smile, "I went to the shop just now, but I didn't find the steward. So the steward came to look for my father."

"Hehe," the steward said and couldn't help wiping off his sweat, and said with a smile, "The theft is not a small matter, so the little one came to look for the second master immediately."

"That's right, and the clerk in the shop said that there was no theft in the shop. I thought it was strange, so I reported it to the official. The manager won't blame me for making decisions without authorization, right?"

Mu Qingyu's gaze seemed to be able to see everything, and the manager's smile became more and more stiff and ugly.

"How...how could it be? It's too late for me to thank Miss."

"That's good, by the way, do you know Aunt Yue?"

The steward's smile disappeared in an instant, and fear and uneasiness appeared in his eyes.But he was afraid that Mu Qingyu would see something, so he immediately raised a smirk, and quickly said, "I don't know the little one."

It is this unthinking that makes people suspicious!Mu Qingyu snorted, "That's such a pity."

After she finished speaking, she walked outside. The steward heaved a sigh of relief, and after making sure that Mu Qingyu was far away, she bent down and went out.

After Mu Qingyu went back, Mo Zhu had already brought the maid who sent the message into the house.

Perhaps the person behind the plot was too confident, thinking that Mu Qingyu would not return safely, so he asked the maid to do things in the mansion ostentatiously.

When Mo Zhu found this maid, she was still joking and dodging with others in the garden.

Mu Qingyu took a look at the maid, walked past her to sit by the couch, and asked, "What's your name? Where do you work?"

Before the maid could speak, Mo Zhu threatened fiercely: "If you ask me to find out after the fact, you are lying, and you will bear the consequences!"

The servant girl shrank her neck and said timidly: "My servant's name is A Tian, ​​and she works as a rough servant girl in the courtyard of the third lady."

Fang's maid?Mu Qingyu narrowed her eyes: "Then I will take you to ask the third lady if you are her maid."

"Miss, go ahead and ask, this servant is not lying." Ah Tian said calmly, obviously not afraid.

"Who told you to tell me about the shop theft?" Mu Qingyu asked.

"It's because the guy in the shop can't get into the inner courtyard, so the slaves help him pass the message."

"Which guy is it?"

"The servant didn't ask his name, but if I ask the servant to see him again, she will definitely recognize him."

Ah Tian's answer was impeccable, making it impossible to find fault.

Thinking there was nothing to ask, Mu Qingyu said, "Go back first."

"Yes."

Ah Tian saluted Mu Qingyu and left.

When she walked into the yard, Mu Qingyu and Mo Zhu's voices could be heard.

"Mo Zhu, go and get a carriage, I'm going to Zhuangzi again."

"Why do you still want to go, miss?"

"They see me as a woman, and refuse to tell me the truth. Now that my father has passed away, and with my father by his side, let's see if they dare to underestimate me."

"Miss is wise!"

After Ah Tian finished listening, he left in a hurry.

She walked in a hurry and didn't notice the person following her.

Second Master Mu asked someone to open the warehouse, prepared a generous gift, and took it to find Xu Yuzhou himself.

It's just that Xu Yuzhou is not at the Yamen, but at home.

Erye Mu couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly went to Xu Yuzhou's house again.

Xu Yuzhou's home is not difficult to find, I saw a simple yet luxurious carriage parked in front of his house.

A gentleman with a round belly came out of it dejectedly.

Second Master Mu got off his horse, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Ma."

"Oh, Second Master Mu," Master Ma glanced behind Second Master Mu, there were several wrapped servants in his arms, "Are you here to find Lord Xu?"

"Yes."

"I advise you to go back early. He won't accept any of the rare treasures I brought." Master Ma waved his hand, helped his servants get into the carriage, and drove away.

Mu Erye stared at the tightly closed door, but still went up to knock on it with his own hands.

Knocked for a long time, no response.

Second Master Mu refused to be discouraged, knocked and said: "I am the Second Master of Dingguo Mansion, if you need something, please ask Mr. Xu."

After a while, an old man opened the door, "Second Lord of Dingguo Mansion, please come inside."

Erye Mu was overjoyed and led the boy inside.

Xu Yuzhou came out of the hall and went to meet him at the Chuihua Gate.

"Second Master." Xu Yuzhou cupped his hands in salute.

"Master Xu is polite." Second Master Mu smiled politely.

"The second master is talking inside."

Xu Yuzhou led Mu Erye into the hall, asked him to sit down at the head, and asked the servant to bring new tea.

This is the first time Mu Erye has dealt with Xu Yuzhou. Xu Yuzhou looks different from the rumors, and even looks more approachable.

"I'm here this time to make amends to the lord for the little girl. The little girl is ignorant, so I ask the lord to pretend it never happened. I will close the door to solve the matter of my village and the shop. Don't bother your lord."

Second Master Mu thought he was polite and courteous, and he put his figure down so low. Coupled with the generous gifts he prepared, it is hard to believe that Xu Yuzhou was not moved at all.

"Second Miss has already reported to the official, and there is a record in the yamen, Xu can't withdraw it without authorization," Xu Yuzhou said with a respectful attitude and a gentle tone, "And Xu promised Second Miss that if he wanted to tell Second Miss the truth, Xu could not Unbelievable."

"If the little girl is ignorant, how can the adults take it to heart?" Second Master Mu waved at the boy and brought the things over. "These are my little things to make amends. Please accept them."

Xu Yuzhou didn't look sideways, and added a bit of strength to his gentle tone, "Please take the things away, Mr. Xu, I don't need them."

"Look at what's inside first, there must be something you can use."

Second Master Mu winked, and the servant was about to open the package.

When it was about to open, Xu Yuzhou pressed his hand on it.
