Chapter 144
They don't want profit, they want fame, can't they? Do they have to block their way and let no one live?
Mu Wanqing looked at them with a smile, and said slowly, "You all have plans for me, and you want to cut off the way for the Mu clan to survive in the world, why can't you bear it when it's your turn? You are kind-hearted, you didn't kill them all, but left a little profit for you. You should thank me."
Ma Rong took a deep breath, "No discussion?"
"If you have this food street, you can live, and some of you can make good money, so you can accumulate virtue for yourself and your descendants." Mu Wanqing has thousands of ways to deal with them, "Of course, you still have a choice, put The food street is transferred to me, and I will give you a suitable price."
Ma Rong was silent for a while, no matter which proposal could maximize their interests. "We have to think about it."
Mu Wanqing brushed off the foam with a tea cover, her brows indifferent, "Okay, go back and ask that person for instructions, I'm not in a hurry."
From the beginning to the end, she knew that these three people were just puppets pushed to the front.
Ma Rong gave her a deep look, she was smarter and sharper than she thought.
After sending the three away, Mu Wanqing pondered for a while, and asked for the carriage to go out to the snack street.
Affected by the food street, the business of the snack street is not as good as before, but it is not bad, and diners come in one after another.
Mu Wanqing walked over all the way to check the situation of each house. There were three or five diners at the door of each house.
She walked to the front of her own shop, which was being renovated, and the plaque had been hung up, Mu's century-old hot pot.
I was too busy before, and the ingredients were not rich enough, so kept procrastinating.
Now can free up hands, draw drawings and let people play the pot, decorate the storefront, recruit employees, and proceed in an orderly manner.
Since a group of people was sent from the palace, she has readjusted her position. The eight maids are no longer needed, so she has left four after breaking up. Lichun Lixia Chunlan Qiuju stayed, and Xia He and Li Dong, who are proficient in cooking, called hot pot. shop.
One of them was a careful and meticulous cook, and Mu Wanqing passed her the recipe of the hot pot base. She was considered a technical director, and the other was a clear-headed person who was suitable for being a manager. The two worked together to manage the stall.
They were inexperienced, but Mu Wanqing arranged the whole process. All they needed to do was execute. This street was filled with Mu's family, and no one would bully and embarrass them.
Dongmei, who is skilled in both calligraphy and painting, was sent to the academy as a teacher, showing off her talents.
Li Qiu stayed at the farm to help her keep an eye on various affairs.
With such an arrangement, everyone has a place to go and is in good order.
This store has a total of five facades, and the backyard of the second entry is open. The front and rear areas are very large. It took more than a month to install it just for decoration.
This is Mu Wanqing's private property, and she doesn't live here, so she built a quaint old hot pot restaurant according to her idea.
It's almost finished, and the final cleanup is still going on inside.
Mu Wanqing checked it out, "Keep an eye on it, and try to open it within half a month."
"Yes."
"The most important thing in a hot pot restaurant is the bottom of the pot and the seasoning. Xia He, you must keep the gate and keep it secret."
"Yes."
"The ingredients must be clean and fresh, and hygiene must be the first priority."
"Yes."
"Do a good job of publicity before opening, and get some promotional paper to distribute."
"Yes."
Mu Wanqing ordered them to go down one by one. She couldn't stay in the city for long, and the farm needed her even more.
She was setting up a task, and Mrs. Mu Er, who was sitting in the Luwei shop next door, ran over in a hurry.
"Qing'er, something happened to the Du family."
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, "What happened?"
Mrs. Mu Er looked very strange, "There are rumors outside that Miss Du Er was kidnapped and lost her virginity by bandits before her marriage, and she married into the Zhao family with the child in her womb. …”
Mu Wanqing frowned slightly. The news of Second Miss Du and Li was not made public. The three Zhao family members were sent away that day, and the Du family also issued a seal order.
Miss Du's mother and son were secretly sent to Shuimu Farm for resettlement. No one except Du Shaoxuan knew her whereabouts.
Shuimu Farm is under closed management, and records must be recorded when entering and leaving, and the concierge is very strict.
Moreover, Mu Wanqing separated each piece from each other, and the main house was the top priority, and had taken sufficient confidentiality measures.
Even if it was kept secret, it still spread, which only means... that someone was targeting the Du family!
Mrs. Mu was particularly gossipy, "You said, is this true? Zhao Du's child really doesn't look like the Zhao family."
How should I put it, the child is more like the Du family, and Mu Wanqing's mind is racing, "It's all rumors, do you still believe it? What kind of family is the Zhao family? How can such a mean family tolerate another wild seed? , With the status of the Du family, what's the matter, wouldn't it be easier to leave the son to the father?"
"Leave... the son to the father?" Second Madam Mu's shocked words were beyond words. What was she thinking about?
Mu Wanqing looked accustomed to it, "Yeah, this is the perfect plan, if I just do it."
Mrs. Mu was frightened, "Don't fool around, this kind of thing..." How can you do it?
Mu Wanqing smiled and hugged her arm, "Look at you scared, if it was me, there would be a better choice, and having a child out of wedlock is not bad, anyway, I can afford it, the child's surname is mine, and it belongs to me alone. , you don't need to wait for your parents-in-law, you don't need to look at people's faces, they are perfect. Well, how about raising a few faces?"
She just let Mrs. Mu understand, don't always stare at her marriage, she is not a traditional good wife and mother, and it is impossible for her to take marriage as her life goal.
If they are married, there is only one possibility, the two are in love with each other.
If you want a child, choose a suitable borrower. She has money, power and ability, but she doesn't care about gossip, what is she afraid of?
The impact of these words on Second Lady Mu was too great, she was in a trance, and the whole person was dumbfounded.
Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous, but... it sounds okay?
Mu Wanqing called one of her subordinates, "Go, tell Miss Du and ask her to check the guests of the day. The rumors must have flowed out of it, and this person must be dug up and punished severely."
"Let the wind go out and say that Mother Zhao thinks that Miss Du Er hurt her body when she gave birth to a child, and wants to take a few concubines to spread her branches and leaves. Miss Du Er loves Young Master Zhao so much that she can endure everything else, but this one is the only one. It is unbearable, she would rather give up the position of the principal rather than make Zhao Gongzi embarrassed, this is true love."
"Let's guide the world to take a look at Zhao's mother's experience, what kind of widowed mother and only son, who has a strong desire to dominate her son, can't see the love of her son and daughter-in-law, and provoked the feelings of husband and wife in various ways."
"Zhao Yidan's matter is thrown out, and the muddy water will be completely muddled."
After a series of orders were issued, public opinion was instantly ignited, and various rumors were released, and the more they spread, the more outrageous they became.
There are many discussions in the streets and alleys, and restaurants, restaurants and inns are the center of gossip.
"Have you heard about the Zhao family? Zhao's mother is actually that kind of person. She just wants a daughter-in-law of noble birth to leave a descendant, a decent in-law family, and then she can quietly get rid of the daughter-in-law and monopolize her son and grandson, which will satisfy her. Perverted mind."
"Oh my God, how can such a vicious woman be so scheming. In this way, I have a powerful in-law family, a grandson who inherits the incense, and I have all my face, but I have pity for the daughter-in-law who is used as a tool by her. ."
"Miss Zhao Er is too miserable. She thought that she would be loved and valued by her husband's family when she married. Who would have known that she would meet such a wolf-like ambition?"
Someone deliberately guided the direction of public opinion and took out Miss Du Er.
"No, isn't Miss Du alright?"
"I didn't say she was kidnapped before..."
"I know the truth, but I can't tell you." The man looked like I knew too much, but didn't know what to say.
Everyone was so excited, "Tell me now, don't sell off, Xiao Er, have a pot of good wine and a few good dishes."
The man took a sip of wine, and Mei's eyes narrowed, so he said mysteriously, "Miss Du Er was not kidnapped, but she was poisoned by Zhao's mother, and her body is still unknown. It is said that Miss Du did not intend to. It was only after breaking through this matter in the middle of the day that the ugly face of the mother and son was exposed, and Miss Du's heart was completely chilled, so she recklessly mentioned reconciliation."
"It turns out that this is the case, or the big brother is well-informed, but how can Zhao's mother be counted on her son's head?"
"Innocent, living under the same roof, how could you not know? It must be an accomplice." The man shook his head slightly, "The Zhao family's mother and son refuse to reconcile, and they throw cruel words. ."
"Oh hey, it's too bad, I've never seen such a bad one, no wonder there were rumors like that some time ago, this has to destroy Second Miss Du, the Zhao family is stupid, bad and poisonous, so please don't go down Marry, don't marry Xiaobailian."
In the box, Jin Yulang's face was sinking like water. It was a trick to confuse right and wrong, and use bigger materials to cover up the previous materials.
"Have you found out the whereabouts of the Zhao family?"
The subordinate replied respectfully, "Not yet, the Zhao family did not return to the mansion, but were sent away directly, without a single servant, and our people had no chance to contact them. According to rumors, they were sent back to their hometown, Wuyun City. I'm looking along this line."
Jin Yulang snorted coldly, "The target of Dark Cloud City is too big, it can't be there, all officials are staring at it."
"Yes."
Jin Yulang frowned, and for more than 20 years, he walked over and over, winning and losing, but this year is obviously not going well.
"Keep an eye on Mu Wanqing's whereabouts, don't get too close, just follow from a distance, and if she leaves the city, hurry up and report."
"Shuimu Farm and the county lord's mansion have to arrange for our people to enter. If it is not possible, they will buy a few humble servants, such as kitchen chores, coachmen, and guards are the key targets."
"Yes."
Jin Yulang had a strange premonition that Mu Wanqing would be his biggest stumbling block.
"Activate the dark chess of Du Fu."
The subordinates couldn't help being startled, and said in a hurry, "Now? Didn't you say you shouldn't activate it unless you had to? It's been buried for so long..." It has never been activated, only activated when it is the most critical.
Once activated, it is a self-destructive explosion.
Jin Yulang looked gloomy and terrifying, "Now, it's time."
"clear."
On this day, the Mu family received an invitation from Mrs. Du and asked Mu Wanqing and her daughter to go to the temple outside the city to burn incense.
There are so many things going on in the Du family, and they want to burn incense to get rid of bad luck.
Mu Wanqing wasn't interested in these things, and was entangled in trivial matters. She just wanted to return to the farm after finishing the work at hand, so she declined.
Mrs. Mu Er was very enthusiastic about burning incense and praying to Buddha, and she wanted to have a good relationship with Mrs. Du. Naturally, she would not refuse. She dressed up and went out in a carriage early in the morning.
Not long after, the servant came running in panic, "Miss, it's not good, something happened to Madam."
Mu Wanqing, who was doing the accounting, stood up abruptly, "What happened?"
"The madam fell off the cliff with the carriage..."
Mu Wanqing's face changed greatly, and she ran out, "Prepare the carriage, ask Imperial Physician Song to go with you to save people, bring all the medicinal materials, and move quickly."
