The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 300

The woman had a haughty smile on her face, "Then you don't use it to test me, don't you know that I lack everything, except money?"

"I know, I know, I know, we're going back now, take care of yourself." Mrs. Qin and Qin Jie told her not to give money for fear of offending her.

The mother and daughter got up and left immediately.

The two went down to the second floor, and the guys greeted them.

Mrs. Qin said: "There is a back door here, right? Take us out through the back door."

"Yes."

The clerk respectfully led Mrs. Qin, mother and daughter, to the back door.

Compared with the indifference of the waiter when he entertained Mu Qingyu's master and servant, the waiter's attitude was completely changed.

The woman in the box on the second floor pricked up her ears to listen to the movement downstairs.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps leaving from behind that she was completely relieved.

After shedding all her defenses, she only felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and the strong hatred filled her heart tightly.

She clenched her hand tightly into a fist, and her nails were deeply embedded in her palm, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

"Mu Qingyu...Mu Qingyu..." She murmured in a low voice, as if she would not let herself forget the name.

It was all because of Mu Qingyu that I lost everything!
She must see it with her own eyes, Mu Qingyu is worse than herself!
Mu Qingyu, who was on the second floor of the opposite teahouse, sneezed twice in succession.

She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and tightened the front of her skirt by the way.

Holding the tea bowl in her hand, she kept her gaze fixed on the gate of Yingfang Pavilion.

From the beginning to the end, no one came in or out of Yingfang Pavilion.

After about half an hour, Mo Zhu came back after inquiring.

"Miss, I have inquired about this servant and the neighbors. In the past, the business of Yingfang Pavilion was always very good. The boxes on the second floor were often full of people, all of whom went to try rouge and gouache. Only about a month ago, Yingfang Pavilion There was no business all of a sudden, and with the cold attitude of those guys, Yingfang Pavilion was deserted."

As Mu Qingyu listened, she became more and more puzzled.

In business, how can you not be hospitable to customers?Instead, it's a posture of chasing customers?

If you don't want to do business anymore, why not just close down?
"By the way, who is the owner of this shop, have you found out?" Mu Qingyu asked again.

Mo Zhu shook his head, "The slaves can't find out, and the neighbors can't tell either."

"Okay, anyway, let people pay attention." Mu Qingyu ordered.There was a strangeness in this shop, she was sure that Mrs. Qin's mother and daughter came here definitely not to buy rouge and gouache.

The two master and servant couldn't help looking towards the door of Yingfang Pavilion, and saw that there was not even a single bird staying at the door.

"Send someone to the gate of the Qin Mansion to find out if Auntie and the others have gone back." Mu Qingyu frowned. After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qin did not come back.

Thinking of when she and Mo Zhu were in the shop, those clerks suddenly regained their spirits, could it be that they startled the snake?
"Yes, servant girl is going now."

Mo Zhu went out, and she asked the accompanying servant to rush to the Qin residence.

Back and forth, another half an hour passed.

For half an hour, neither Mu Qingyu nor Mo Zhu saw anyone coming in and out at the gate of Yingfang Pavilion.

The boy went to the Qin mansion to inquire, but Mrs. Qin and Qin Jie had already gone back.

Mo Zhu was surprised: "We have been watching, how did they leave?"

"There must be another door," Mu Qingyu said and stood up, "Let's go, we don't need to guard here anymore."

After sitting for a long time, when I stood up, my legs were a little unsteady.

Mo Zhu hurriedly supported Mu Qingyu, and reminded: "Miss, be careful, this servant will help you out."

With the help of Mo Zhu, Mu Qingyu walked down the stairs.

After entering winter, the days are getting shorter every day.

Going outside, I saw that the sky was dyed with the warm light of the setting sun.

It turned out that they were already here and had been delayed for almost an afternoon.

Fortunately, they came out quietly, no one would notice.

After leaving people here to watch, Mu Qingyu and Mo Zhu got into the carriage and were going back to Duke Dingguo's mansion.

The carriage only drove for a while, Mo Zhu saw the people outside through the constantly floating curtain.

"Miss, isn't that Master Xu?" Mo Zhu stretched out his hand and opened a corner of the curtain.

Mu Qingyu looked outside and saw a man walking by the side of the road.

The man's face was fair and handsome, and his expression was neither humble nor overbearing. Even when he was wearing casual clothes, his back was straight, as if he was walking in a palace.

This person is Xu Yuzhou.

With a thought in his mind, Mu Qingyu hurriedly ordered the driver to stop.

Mo Zhu got out of the carriage, took a few quick steps, and caught up with Xu Yuzhou.

"Master Xu! Master Xu!"

When Xu Yuzhou heard the voice, he turned his head and stopped when he saw the person behind him clearly.

Before Mo Zhu could explain his intention, Xu Yuzhou had already looked at the carriage parked by the side of the road, and happened to meet the pair of clear and moving eyes in the carriage.

Mo Zhu said: "Master Xu, my lady would like to invite you over to talk."

Xu Yuzhou gave a "hmm" and strode towards the carriage.

Mu Qingyu nodded slightly, and called out, "Master Xu."

Xu Yuzhou also bowed his head, "Miss Mu."

"Master Xu, I want to ask you, do you know the details of that rouge and gouache shop over there?" Mu Qingyu stretched out her jade finger and pointed in the direction.

Xu Yuzhou squinted his eyes, "Yingfang Pavilion?"

"Exactly, what does your lord know?" Mu Qingyu asked.

Xu Yuzhou said bluntly: "Recently, there is indeed something unusual about that shop. It's just that I haven't had time to check it out yet. When I find out something, I will send a message to the lady."

Xu Yuzhou has a delicate and keen mind, and he often goes home from the Yamen along this road.

He had already discovered the anomaly in Yingfang Pavilion.

It's just that he was pestered by other people, and he couldn't free up his hands yet, so he went to check.

Now that Mu Qingyu asked, it's time to bring this matter up.

Mu Qingyu waited for a while, then asked puzzledly: "Don't you want to ask why?"

Xu Yuzhou smiled towards the setting sun on his thin lips, "Miss Mu doesn't want to say, Xu won't ask too much."

Mu Qingyu smiled back and said gratefully, "Thank you."

Mo Zhu had already boarded the carriage, Xu Yuzhou took a few steps back, watched the carriage of Duke Dingguo leave, and then set foot on the way home again.

Mu Qingyu and Mo Zhu returned to Duke Dingguo's mansion just in time for dinner.

Back in his yard, Guo Nian'er was there.

"You're finally back," Guo Nian'er breathed a sigh of relief, "otherwise I don't know how long I'll be waiting for you."

"Why are you here at this hour?" Mu Qingyu was at the door, Mo Zhu and Miao Xiang waited for her to take off her cloak, and twisted a hot handkerchief to wipe her face.

"This is the antler chicken soup that I have boiled all afternoon, it's still hot," Guo Nian'er said, then got up and put on his coat, "Okay, I'm going back too."

"Why are you in such a hurry? How about sitting down for a while?" Mu Qingyu asked to stay.

"No, I have to go somewhere else." Guo Nian'er blinked mischievously.

Mu Qingyu immediately understood that she still had to go to Mu Jiayan's place.
