Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 161 Overtrick ([-])

In Dripping Alley, it was still so bleak, Mu Qingwan even felt that there were fewer people, and except for those businesses that were so boring that they basked in the sun, they didn't see half of the customers.

The same is true in front of the Confucian Bookstore, there are only two sparrows looking for food, pecking at the ground.Lingxiu took a step ahead, looked in with her head, turned around and said to Mu Qingwan in a low voice: "Third Miss, there is really a guy guarding the store, he looks familiar."

Shi Tianci couldn't do it alone, so it's normal to hire someone to guard the store, but he lives in Mu's house and goes in and out of Mu's house every day, so why didn't he come to tell him?At the very least, hiring people requires starting wages. Can he inform the shareholders in advance?Mu Qingwan was puzzled, and walked towards the store, but as soon as she stepped through the threshold, she understood what was going on - the person who was dozing off behind the counter, whom Lingxiu called a familiar person, wasn't it? Shi Tianci's good brother, Gu San?

She knew that Gu San came all the way to Yangxing County, how could he go back without getting anything, so he hid here.In the previous life, he and Hongjiao were Shi Tianci's right-hand man, if he is not dealt with in time, there will be endless troubles in the future - Shi Tianci is not a native of Yangxing County, and he is not familiar with the place, so all he can rely on is It's just Gu San and Hong Jiao, as long as they can be cut off, no matter how scheming Shi Tianci is, his fighting power will be greatly reduced.

While Mu Qingwan was thinking, she walked into the store, Lingxiu hurried forward, raised her hand and knocked on the counter twice.Gu San, who was sleepwalking in Duke Zhou, was startled awake, raised his head suddenly, and froze for a moment.

Mu Qingwan acted very kindly, smiled at him, and greeted him politely: "Are you the new guy?"

Only then did Gu San come to his senses, thinking about what Shi Tianci had analyzed with him a few days ago, he suppressed his nervousness, and made up some words, saying: "So it's Miss Mu San, we are really destined, we meet again .”

Who is destined to be with you, Mu Qingwan muttered, pretending to be surprised: "Isn't this the owner of the jade pendant, why is it here?"

Gu San pretended to be heartbroken, thumped the counter and said, "Miss, I don't know, my jade pendant was accidentally lost, I lost my ancestral treasure, I can't cure diseases and save people, I can't earn money, and I can't even afford food." I couldn’t eat it, so I found this shop and became a clerk.”

"So that's the case, you're really unlucky." Mu Qingwan didn't point it out, and followed his words.

"That's not true." Seeing that Mu Qingwan didn't question, Gu San secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "How come Miss San is free to come to the store today?"

Mu Qingwan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm tired from shopping and don't want to go home right away, so I came to the store to rest."

Come to the store for a break? !Isn't that going to the back hall?Gu San thought of the eldest girl from the Bai family who lived in the back, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "The store is simple, there is no place for girls to rest, how about I help you book an elegant seat in the tea house?"

Mu Qingwan said unhappily: "I've already come here, but you let me go back? Is this trying to exhaust me? Besides, there are two guest rooms behind this store. Could it be that as a shareholder, I can't go in sit down?"

"If you can sit, of course you can." Gu Sansheng was afraid that Mu Qingwan would be unhappy, so he fired him immediately, and hurriedly said, "It's just that there are sundries piled up in the back, it's very messy, I'm afraid that the third girl will be dirty. clothes."

"Dirty?" Mu Qingwan frowned, "Then I have to go and see, such a small shop, you and shopkeeper Shi take care of it together, and the backside is still 'very messy'?"

She bit the last few words hard, raised her legs and walked towards the back, Lingxiu followed closely behind, Gu San hadn't reacted at all, and only saw her turning into the back of the screen wall.He was momentarily confused and anxious. If Mu Qingwan found out about Bai Yuhe, Shi Tianci would have to kill him. However, Mu Qingwan's banner was to inspect the work. As his "buddy", What qualifications do you have to stop it?
No, no, the county magistrate is better off taking care of her now. For the sake of livelihood, even if she offends Mu Qingwan, she has to stop her.Thinking like this, Gu San rushed forward, opened his arms recklessly, and blocked the door of the room where Bai Yuhe lived, trying his best to dissuade Mu Qingwan: "Third Miss, you can give the villain a way out, if you let Shopkeeper Shi knows that I haven’t tidied up the back, he will definitely drive me away, I am penniless now, and I have no place to stay, if I lose this job, I will starve to death on the street.”

He himself felt that his actions were too bold and would definitely provoke Mu Qingwan into a rage, but to his surprise, Mu Qingwan actually stopped in her tracks, and instead of being angry, she treated her kindly. He said: "Well, it's really not easy for you to come out to earn a living, so I'll give you another chance and give you three days to clean the back room, otherwise I really can't keep you."

"Thank you, Miss San, for your kindness, Miss San, thank you for your kindness!" Gu Sansan heaved a sigh of relief, and said repeatedly, "Please rest assured, Miss San, I will definitely tidy up the house within three days."

"Well, then you should be busy." Mu Qingwan glanced at the closed door behind him, and led Lingxiu out.

Still on the way home, Lingxiu couldn't help asking Mu Qingwan: "Miss San, you just took a look and left? We haven't figured out yet, is there a woman living behind?"

"Don't look at it, even if it's not a woman, it's not someone who can see the light." Mu Qingwan's tone was very firm.

"How do you know?" Lingxiu was both surprised and at a loss, "The two doors behind are locked, and nothing can be seen. Although Gu San's reaction is a bit strange, it is also possible that he is telling the truth... ..."

Mu Qingwan laughed: "Believe it or not, the person Laiwang's wife mentioned is hiding in the room behind Gu San?"

"Why?" Lingxiu was puzzled for a moment, then she suddenly realized, "There are obviously two rooms behind, and Miss San, you didn't say which one you want to see, but Gu San rushed to block the door first! So, there must be a ghost in that door!"

Mu Qingwan blinked at her: "I'm not sure if there is a ghost, let's let the fourth girl come to check and check, and we will know."

Lingxiu showed a dazed expression, covered her mouth and smiled: "The third girl is right, even if there is a woman hiding behind that, it has nothing to do with us, it's not our turn to investigate."

Mu Qingwan smiled softly and lowered her eyes. In the previous life, didn't Mu Qinglian and Shi Tianci secretly "love" each other and conceived their children without telling her? In this life, let her see if they are still the same. So "loving".
