Lingnan King was stunned for a moment when he saw Chi Ranzhi appearing at the door, and then his face darkened. A pair of cloudy eyes looked at Chi Ranzhi and the seemingly ordinary guards behind him, and then looked at Su Mu. Considering whether to simply kill everyone.
Su Mu and Fu Guang Lve Ying heaved a sigh of relief.
Chi Ranzhi looked at Su Mu who was standing still, and frowned slightly. After waiting for a while, he stepped into the yard, walked all the way to Su Mu, looked down at Su Mu, and pursed his lips to embrace him. After entering his arms, soon, he felt Su Mu leaning on him, putting all his strength on him.
The corners of Chi Ranzhi's lips curled into an undetectable arc.
It turned out to be out of strength.
He wrapped his long arms around Su Mu and covered Su Mu in his cloak, and slowly raised his eyes to look at Lingnan King.
At this moment, the prince and the princess hurried over, and when they saw this, they hurried forward to smooth things over.
Wangfei: "Last chapter, this is all a misunderstanding. If you want to blame it, blame me. I forgot that the prince is sobering up here. Seeing that Mrs. Zun is not feeling well, I originally wanted to find a quiet courtyard for her to rest, but I didn't expect to bump into it. The prince probably didn't recognize it, thinking it was the concubine Ji in the mansion. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
The prince glanced at Su Mu who was embraced by Lu Shangzhang: "Yes, brother Lu, my father drank too much today and didn't recognize him. Madam seems to be a little frightened. I'll send someone to send brother Lu and Madam back first." Let's rest, can we talk about everything tomorrow when the father sobers up?"
The King of Lingnan was very upset and irritable. He glanced at the little girl who was about to succeed, but Lu Shangzhang had already hidden her in the cloak.
How did this guy come so fast?Just a little more and he'll be done.
While stopping Lu Shangzhang to be a peacemaker, the prince caught a glimpse of Lingnan King's expression from the corner of his eye, and sighed in his heart:
Not to mention anything else, just the undisguised look in your wife's eyes when we met today, only a fool can't see it.
Just now at the banquet, when he saw his father leaving the banquet, he secretly thought it was bad. Unexpectedly, Lu Shangzhang kept watching his father's movements.
At this moment, Zhong Jingyu and Zhong Jingying also rushed over.After hearing clearly what was going on, Zhong Jingying thought very regretfully, it was only a little short, if the father succeeded, even if this woman survived, Big Brother Lu would not want her anymore, and he could become his brother-in-law.It's a pity, but...
Zhong Jingying rolled her eyes, and said softly: "Brother Lu, the father was just drunk and misunderstood the wrong person, but Mrs. Zun didn't seem to be drunk, but why didn't she run into the father immediately to avoid suspicion? I think it's better for you to go back and ask What's going on with Madam Zun, we can talk about it in detail tomorrow when my father wakes up from drunkenness."
Zhong Jingyu also said: "Yeah, I didn't leave the yard right away. Even if it was a misunderstanding, it might hurt Madam's reputation if it spread like this. Therefore, it's better not to make things big."
Zhong Jingchen suddenly glanced at the two siblings.
The two immediately shut up, took a step back, and lowered their heads, not daring to say more.
Chi Ranzhi ignored the two of them, didn't even give a glance, just stared at Lingnan King.
Su Mu was already extremely tired, so he suddenly relaxed, his whole body was dizzy, his ears were filled with buzzing, and soon he fell into a deep sleep leaning against Chi Ranzhi's arms.
Under the coordination of the prince and the princess, Chi Ranzhi and Lingnan King did not confront each other on the spot after all. Seeing Chi Ranzhi hugging Su Mu and turning away from the palace, Lingnan King's eyes sank, and then he turned around and shook his hands , slapped the princess on the face, "It's all because of you!"
The concubine was beaten and fell to the ground, her cheeks swelled up quickly, and the corners of her lips were bloodstained. She stared at King Lingnan with wide eyes, and quickly lowered her eyes without saying a word.
The King of Lingnan raised his leg to kick her again, but was stopped by the prince, and whispered in his ear: "Father, an urgent report just came..."
When the King of Lingnan heard this, his eyes were filled with anger, and he left with his son.
The princess lowered her head silently and remained silent.
Zhong Jingyu and Zhong Jingying gleefully glanced at the princess, backed away slowly, and left quietly.
"touch" "crash"
In the palace study, there were constant sounds of collisions and broken porcelain, and the servants guarding outside lowered their heads like quails, trembling.I don't know why the prince is so angry today, and I don't know which unlucky person will bear the anger of the prince tonight.
In the study, there was a mess everywhere, Lingnan King smashed everything that could be smashed in a rage, still not relieved, he paced back and forth angrily, and finally slammed his palm on the table, a crack appeared on the table.
"The guy surnamed Gu is so deceitful!!! Why does he block the route? Others are nothing more than that. Drugs can be equivalent to gold, but they are all destroyed by him. It's just hateful!!! It's unbearable. Forbearance! He is bullying me not to go out to sea blatantly, so I will show him right now!"
The eldest son stood aside respectfully, until the King of Lingnan's anger subsided a little, and said: "Father, now the court is watching you, and the previous assassination operation has gone wrong, we really can't go to sea easily. Although the profit of A Furong is considerable, but for some reason it was taken by Gu Linyuan. Keep an eye on it, and order it to be destroyed if it is encountered, there is no room for negotiation. According to Haier's humble opinion, Gu Linyuan also wants to open up the trade route in Lingnan, so it is better for us to cooperate..."
"No!" The King of Lingnan flicked his sleeves and looked towards the direction of the sea through the window, his eyes were dark and fierce, "That wolf surnamed Gu is ambitious, cooperating with him is no different from cutting flesh and feeding wolves, seeking skins from tigers, and the final end can only be swallowed by him .”
The prince bowed his head and said nothing, but his eyes were full of disapproval.
After all, he was getting old, and after a busy day, he got angry again. The King of Lingnan was a little physically weak, "You go down first, and we can discuss this matter later."
"Retire, my son." The prince bowed and exited the study.
Lingnan King stood by the window and pondered for a moment, his eyes full of anxiety.
He closed the window, sat on the grand master's chair behind the table, looked down and meditated, but his thoughts were confused, he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't help but feel a headache, so he didn't notice a vague fragrance floating to his nose.
When he came back to his senses, his aging body was exhausted, and he suddenly felt dissatisfied. He thought about going to some beautiful concubine to have fun tonight to prove that he was not old. When he wanted to get up, he suddenly found himself moving. no more.
He opened his mouth to call out, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all.
His eyes widened in horror and disbelief.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew in through the gap in the window, extinguishing the last candle.
Lingnan King suddenly looked behind a screen, his eyes widened in horror.
With the faint moonlight coming in through the window, I saw a piece of black clothes coming out from behind the screen.
A vaguely tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness and walked to King Lingnan.
Lingnan King looked up at him, his eyes widened.
Onshore Chapter!
However, the current Lu Shangzhang is completely different from the person he usually knows.
I saw Lu Shangzhang's condescending and downcast eyes looking over at him fiercely and evilly, the corners of his lips curved into a dark and cruel sneer, his tall body was particularly oppressive, and the terrifying aura emanating from his body was almost suffocating. A simple and extremely sharp dagger with no marks or decorations on the handle, a pair of hellish Shura-like eyes sized him up and down, slowly approaching him like a sculptor thinking about what kind of work he would engrave.
……
In the middle of the night, Chi Ranzhi came back from the outside, washed off the bloody smell all over his body, quietly returned to the room, hugged the sleeping Su Mu into his arms, and rubbed his chin on the top of Su Mu's head contentedly.
Su Mu, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly hugged into a chilly embrace, half-opened his eyes in a daze, wrinkled his nose, pushed his hard chest in dissatisfaction, and murmured: "Smelly. "
Chi Ranzhi: "..."
He reached out and tapped the tip of Su Mu's nose: "You stink."
Su Mu chrysalis wanted to escape from his embrace, Chi Ranzhi was pissed off by him, looked at Su Mu's sleeping red face and uncomfortable eyebrows, and sighed, "Hey, sleep."
Su Mu was held in his arms, frowned, unable to break free in half-dream and half-awake, aggrievedly pressed his forehead to Chi Ranzhi's chest, and complained in a pitiful soft voice, "Smelly."
Chi Ranzhi looked down at him, sighed for a while, picked up Su Mu and walked to the bathroom.
Falling into the steaming wooden barrel in a daze, Su Mu leaned against Chi Ranzhi's arms, moaning dissatisfiedly: "Sleepy."
Chi Ranzhi put the cloth towel and soap into Su Mu's hands, and said with a smile, "Hey, didn't you say I smell bad? Wash the fragrance with me before going to bed."
Saying that, he raised Su Mu's hand to wash the incense for him.
After a while, Su Mu's drowsiness disappeared, and he gave him a dissatisfied look, "The sleepiness is gone!"
Anyone who is awakened from a deep sleep will be angry. The more Su Mu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he fiercely held Chi Ranzhi's hand and gnawed, whining, venting his hatred.
Seeing this, Chi Ranzhi stretched out his hand to caress his long wet hair hanging on his back, looked down at Su Mu, and smiled meaningfully: "It's okay, I'll be sleepy after a while."
The next morning, a shrill scream suddenly came from Lingnan Palace.
The prince was just about to go to the study, and rushed in when he heard the screams, but seeing the scene inside, and seeing the Lingnan King who died in a particularly terrifying and miserable state, he couldn't help being a little frightened.
On this day, the guests who had attended the birthday banquet and were about to return home were told that something had happened to the Lingnan Palace and the entire Lingnan was blocked, and they were asked to stay in Lingnan temporarily until the matter was over before leaving.
Everyone didn't know what happened, but seeing the preparedness, they were uneasy for a while and talked a lot.
Su Mu woke up at noon, and was a little happy because he was finally able to leave this ghostly place and return to Beijing.
Looking at his red face, Chi Ranzhi suppressed the news, fed him lunch, finished eating, put on a mask for Su Mu, and then let the steward in charge of the reception of the Lingnan Palace come in to tell the news.
When Su Mu heard that he couldn't leave, he looked in disbelief.
Chi Ranzhi asked people to take the steward of the Lingnan Prince's Mansion down, sat on the soft bed and half-circled Su Mu in his arms, admiring the change of Su Mu's face with great interest.
After digesting the news, Su Mu sat down beside him, depressed.
Chi Ranzhi smiled and pinched Su Mu's cheek, "Alright, it's not an option to stay indoors all the time. There are also many rare objects from overseas in Lingnan. May I take you to the street to see?"
Su Mu glanced at him, "Not interested."
Chi Ranzhi said leisurely: "Maybe there are some who sell meteorites."
Su Mu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he turned to look at Chi Ranzhi, "Then let's go~"
Chi Ranzhi smiled.
Su Mu took the medicine made by Chi Ranzhi himself to regulate the acclimatization of the soil and water, and he didn't have to travel too much. He felt much better, followed Chi Ranzhi out of the inn, and walked around the bustling streets of Lingnan.
Compared with the capital city, the land of Lingnan has a different customs and customs.
Su Mu did see a lot of novel gadgets. Although he didn't see the meteorite, he saw a few good quality stones in the stone gambling field and bought them.
Chi Ranzhi also laughed at him: "I told you, there must be no jade in it, why are you still buying it?"
Su Mu pretended to be stupid: "How do you know? As long as you don't cut it open, you can't say there is no jade inside."
Chi Ranzhi shook his head with a smile, "If you say so, you can."
Then, under the eyes of other stone gamblers who were being taken advantage of, Chi Ranzhi happily spent a lot of money and bought all the stones that Su Mu was looking at.
Since then, there have been rumors in the business world - Lu Lu Zhang, who has always been shrewd and capable, has become stupid since he married his wife.
As a result, some businessmen tried to cheat Lu Shangzhang, but they were called by Lu Shangzhang's crying father and mother.
Rumors are self-defeating.
Besides stones, Su Mu also found a small box of drugs in a small grocery store.
Seeing that Su Mu seemed to know the goods, the shopkeeper said mysteriously: "Ma'am, this is the last stock in our store, and I can't get in now. There may not be many in Lingnan, and it's hard to find."
Chi Ranzhi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he pulled Su Mu away.
The two strolled around for a while, and Su Mu thought deeply: "I also saw A Furong in the Lingnan Palace that day, and the princess gave a box of A Furong to the female relatives who had made friends with her."
Chi Ranzhi stopped and looked at Su Mu seriously, "Mu Mu has studied medicine, so she should know that it's not a good thing, right?"
Su Mu looked at Chi Ranzhi inexplicably and nodded.
Chi Ranzhi smiled and said, "Don't be curious about that kind of thing, I'll take you to buy meteorite."
Su Mu's eyes lit up.
Chi Ranzhi dragged Su Mu into a large shop, and talked to the shopkeeper, and after a while, the shopkeeper brought out a piece of meteorite.
Chi Ranzhi paid the silver ticket, looked at Su Mu holding the meteor iron, looking left and right, loving it, and smiled and patted Su Mu's head.
Very nice.
Lingnan Palace.
The prince and the princess sent the others out to discuss in front of King Lingnan's coffin.
The concubine looked at the corpse of the Lingnan king, with a flash of pleasure in her eyes, and asked her son: "Chen'er, you mean that your father might have been sent by the court to kill him?"
Shizi lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, "That's right."
The princess frowned and thought for a while, and finally said: "Then, we can't say anything about this matter."
After a pause, the concubine suppressed the smile on her lips, and said lightly, "Let's say to the outside world, the prince died suddenly."
The prince was silent for a while, and bowed to answer.
Zhong Jingyu and Zhong Jingying only knew that something happened to their father, but they didn't know what happened at all, so they felt uneasy.
The King of Lingnan is as lustful as his life, but he doesn't have many children, only two sons and one daughter. Although the King of Lingnan is usually cruel and capricious, he is the only reliance of the two siblings.
Now, once the King of Lingnan died, the princess and her son Zhong Jingchen were in charge of the family. Zhong Jingchen was usually quite gentle and didn't care about the affairs of the back house.Everyone in the Xu family is a lady, and they don't pay attention to the back house.But the princess is different.Not to mention how miserable the concubine Ji in this mansion will end up, the future of their siblings is unpredictable.
When they heard the news of the sudden death of the King of Lingnan, the two brothers and sisters suddenly turned pale.
The next day, the guests who came to the banquet heard the news that the King of Lingnan died suddenly on the night of his birthday, and they sighed.Now there is no need to leave, just go to mourning in two days.
Su Mu learned the news while having lunch. He frowned when he thought of the King of Lingnan, and thought of Chi Ranzhi going out that night. He looked at Chi Ranzhi and blinked.
Immediately, I felt that the dark clouds hanging over my head had dispersed.
The sky is bright and the air is clear, and the spirit is refreshing.
Chi Ranzhi drank the soup slowly, and glanced at him lazily.
Su Mu tilted his head slightly and looked at him with a smile for a moment, wiped his mouth, and began to pick fishbone for Chi Ranzhi.
While he was picking, Chi Ranzhi was eating, enjoying himself.
I played in Lingnan for another two days, but unfortunately I didn't meet any sellers of meteorites in these two days.
Afterwards, Chi Ranzhi took Su Mu to attend the funeral of Lingnan King.
At the funeral, only the concubine, the eldest son Zhong Jingchen and the eldest son, Zhong Jingyu and Zhong Jingying did not appear.
Looking at Lingnan King's coffin, Su Mu grabbed Chi Ranzhi's sleeve and lowered his eyes.
Is Chu Qingxuan's funeral coming soon?
This guy helped him kill Chu Qingxuan when he said he would go back.
Chi Ranzhi glanced at him with downcast eyes, then patted his hand lightly.
Not far away, Zhong Jingchen saw this scene in his eyes.
His eyes fell on Su Mu intentionally or unintentionally.
She looks better.
Ever since she was fainted by her father and taken away by Lu Shangzhang that day, for some reason, Zhong Jingchen always had her figure in his mind.
Although, he still doesn't know her name.
Zhong Jingchen glanced at Zhang Lu again.
lowered his eyes.
Just a businessman.
someday...
In his pupils hidden by eyelash feathers, two wildfires lit up, determined to win.
After the funeral, Chi Ranzhi took Su Mu back to Beijing and took a detour to the south of the Yangtze River.
Capital
Chu Qingxuan had just recovered from her injuries, so she insisted on going to the Wen family's property inspection in the capital.
Chu Daixiu persuaded worriedly: "Your injuries are not fully healed yet, you should rest for a while longer."
Chu Qingxuan changed into an expensive white brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns, covered with a layer of light gauze, and decorated with a jade pendant decorated with suet and white jade. She smiled softly and gently, "Brother, I want to go out and do something. Take it easy, the injury will heal faster."
It's rare that the second uncle trusts him so much, he has to perform well.
Moreover, as the adoptive son of the second uncle, he is now a justifiable young owner, who can use the profits of all industries in the capital.
Xiao Shuo's incident and An Guogong's attitude gave him a great sense of crisis. He wanted to climb higher, so he had to plan carefully now.
One day, he will become the person Su Mu looks up to and envies, standing below one person above ten thousand people, and being supported by ten thousand people.
And the only one who can allow him to achieve this goal is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Therefore, he now has to work hard to accumulate financial resources, and to raise his reputation to a higher level, so as to gain the favor of His Royal Highness.
When he becomes the crown princess, he will make Su Mu, Seventh Princess and Xiao Shuo lose everything, and make them cry and kneel in front of him begging for mercy!Then he tortured him first and then killed him, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!
As for what to do...
When the time is right, he can accuse Xiao Shuo'an of collaborating with the enemy. What's more, Xiao Shuo's meritorious service is so powerful. If he provokes a little at that time, his family will be ransacked and his family will be wiped out.
And the Seventh Princess...
There have been empresses and empress dowagers in history, and he wants people to spread rumors that the seventh princess will become an empress dowager. In this way, there will definitely be a rift between His Royal Highness the crown prince and the seventh princess, and the empress...
At that time, without him doing anything, the queen and the prince will kill the seventh princess, not to mention Su Mu who is protected by the seventh princess.
No one knows how to kill with a borrowed knife better than him.
While Chu Qingxuan was thinking, Chu Daixiu said: "I don't feel relieved if you go out alone, let's go with you."
Chu Qingxuan came back to his senses, looked at Chu Daixiu, and said with a smile, "Okay, big brother."
This is just a stepping stone for him.
A useful stepping stone.
"Yunshu, what about you?" Chu Daixiu asked Chu Yunshu, "I seldom see you recently, what are you up to?"
Chu Yunshu smiled slightly, and looked at Chu Qingxuan dotingly, "Qingxuan is going out, so naturally my second brother will follow."
Langyue Fengqing with Chu Qingxuan's smile.
He almost forgot, it was two stepping stones.
Chu Qingxuan led the two of them to the Yunxiang restaurant, which was the most profitable of the Wen family's businesses in the capital, but found that there were very few customers here, and the shopkeeper's face was full of food. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw a Help the dudes hula-la-la-la rushing in the door.
Chu Daixiu looked at the dandies, frowned and looked at the leader, the tall dandy in pink brocade, "Xuan He, what are you doing?"
Xuan He took a look at Chu Daixiu: "Yo, you are here too. Brothers have nothing to do, just come to check in and do daily tasks~"
After the words fell, he waved his sleeves: "Smash me!!!"
When he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, Su Mu's symptoms of acclimatization disappeared completely, and he was very energetic all day long. He wanted to play and see everywhere, as if having fun.
Chi Ranzhi thought that Su Mu grew up in Jiangnan.
Then, thinking about who was raised by him, his complexion suddenly darkened, and without any explanation, he took Su Mu to the capital without stopping, without stopping to play in the middle.
Naturally, Su Mu didn't play enough and felt disappointed, but thinking of Chi Ranzhi taking the risk of killing the King of Lingnan to relieve his anger, he didn't say anything. Looking at the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan outside the window reluctantly, Chi Ranzhi's face became even more stinky, and he stretched out his hand. The curtains are drawn.
Su Mu glared angrily.
Chi Ranzhi slowly took out a piece of meteorite. Su Mu looked at Chi Ranzhi and then at the meteorite. His anger dissipated, and he grabbed the meteorite to play with.
Ten days later, the two finally returned to the capital.
On the second day after returning to the Princess Mansion, Chi Ranzhi seemed very busy and went out early in the morning.
Su Mu rested for a day yesterday, thinking that although Chi Ranzhi was very happy to help him avenge him, but his hands were a little itchy, so he took someone to the small courtyard to see the two murderers, but found that the small courtyard was empty, and everyone ran away .
Su Mu was so angry that he decided to hold a sweet and sour meeting in the small courtyard, and brought Xie Jianyu and the dudes together.
Bored, the dude moved a chair and sat in the yard. Su Mu sat cross-legged on the stone bench next to the stone table, propping his chin and feeling unhappy.
Xie Jianyu sat down at the stone table, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Su Mu. He looked at Su Mu with a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes and said, "A gift for you."
Su Mu took it listlessly, and unfolded it for a look.
"The title deed of Yunxiang Restaurant?"
Xie Jianyu smiled and said, "Well, I sold the Yunxiang Restaurant at a low price. As the first property of the Sweet and Sour Association, are you happy?"
Su Mu's eyes lit up: "Happy!"
The dandies looked at it and quit, Xuan He said: "Xie, you actually took credit for us? It is obvious that we insisted on smashing and smashing the Yunxiang restaurant every day, so that you had the opportunity to buy it. You traitor!"
Xie Jianyu was smiling, with sharp tongues and sharp tongues. He was not afraid of a group of dudes by himself, but made them very angry.
Su Mu's eyes lit up, and he began to use the water-carrying skills he stole from the emperor: "Everyone, don't worry, I have a solution."
After finishing the sentence, he looked at Xie Jianyu: "Go and compile a list of Wen's properties in the capital."
Xie Jianyu smiled slightly, and took out a list from his sleeve, "It's been sorted out a long time ago, and it's ranked according to profitability."
Su Mu looked at Xie Jianyu in surprise, and then smiled and showed it to the dudes: "Look, don't worry, everyone has a share. Let's come one by one~"
The dandies looked at Su Mu, then at the list, and suddenly felt a chill.
They suddenly realized that this Wen family seemed to belong to the uncle's family in front of them.
Thinking of the relationship between Chu Qingxuan and Su Mu, she seemed to understand something.
In fact, they are naturally opposed to those gentlemen and literati who like Chu Qingxuan who are going to inherit the family business, so they look at Su Mu pleasing to the eye.
They are all my own people who have suffered from oppression and have unspeakable sufferings!
So gearing up, he came to the Wen family's second most profitable restaurant, displaying his stunts.
Su Mu and Xie Jianyu were sitting in the carriage. Su Mu looked out of the window and rolled his eyes with a smile.
Not long after, Chu Daixiu came over with Chu Qingxuan, and Chu Yunshu followed behind them.
Standing in front of the car window, Chu Daixiu looked at the smiling Su Mu, and asked sharply, "So you let these people make trouble? Do you know whose property this is?"
Su Mu lay on the car window and ignored Chu Daixiu. His eyes were clear and bright, and he looked at Chu Qingxuan with a naive smile:
"I know."
"It was you who smashed it."
Su Mu and Fu Guang Lve Ying heaved a sigh of relief.
Chi Ranzhi looked at Su Mu who was standing still, and frowned slightly. After waiting for a while, he stepped into the yard, walked all the way to Su Mu, looked down at Su Mu, and pursed his lips to embrace him. After entering his arms, soon, he felt Su Mu leaning on him, putting all his strength on him.
The corners of Chi Ranzhi's lips curled into an undetectable arc.
It turned out to be out of strength.
He wrapped his long arms around Su Mu and covered Su Mu in his cloak, and slowly raised his eyes to look at Lingnan King.
At this moment, the prince and the princess hurried over, and when they saw this, they hurried forward to smooth things over.
Wangfei: "Last chapter, this is all a misunderstanding. If you want to blame it, blame me. I forgot that the prince is sobering up here.

The King of Lingnan was very upset and irritable. He glanced at the little girl who was about to succeed, but Lu Shangzhang had already hidden her in the cloak.
How did this guy come so fast?Just a little more and he'll be done.
While stopping Lu Shangzhang to be a peacemaker, the prince caught a glimpse of Lingnan King's expression from the corner of his eye, and sighed in his heart:
Not to mention anything else, just the undisguised look in your wife's eyes when we met today, only a fool can't see it.
Just now at the banquet, when he saw his father leaving the banquet, he secretly thought it was bad. Unexpectedly, Lu Shangzhang kept watching his father's movements.

Chi Ranzhi ignored the two of them, didn't even give a glance, just stared at Lingnan King.
Su Mu was already extremely tired, so he suddenly relaxed, his whole body was dizzy, his ears were filled with buzzing, and soon he fell into a deep sleep leaning against Chi Ranzhi's arms.
Under the coordination of the prince and the princess, Chi Ranzhi and Lingnan King did not confront each other on the spot after all. Seeing Chi Ranzhi hugging Su Mu and turning away from the palace, Lingnan King's eyes sank, and then he turned around and shook his hands , slapped the princess on the face, "It's all because of you!"
The concubine was beaten and fell to the ground, her cheeks swelled up quickly, and the corners of her lips were bloodstained. She stared at King Lingnan with wide eyes, and quickly lowered her eyes without saying a word.
The King of Lingnan raised his leg to kick her again, but was stopped by the prince, and whispered in his ear: "Father, an urgent report just came..."
When the King of Lingnan heard this, his eyes were filled with anger, and he left with his son.
The princess lowered her head silently and remained silent.
Zhong Jingyu and Zhong Jingying gleefully glanced at the princess, backed away slowly, and left quietly.
"touch" "crash"
In the palace study, there were constant sounds of collisions and broken porcelain, and the servants guarding outside lowered their heads like quails, trembling.I don't know why the prince is so angry today, and I don't know which unlucky person will bear the anger of the prince tonight.
In the study, there was a mess everywhere, Lingnan King smashed everything that could be smashed in a rage, still not relieved, he paced back and forth angrily, and finally slammed his palm on the table, a crack appeared on the table.
"The guy surnamed Gu is so deceitful!!! Why does he block the route? Others are nothing more than that. Drugs can be equivalent to gold, but they are all destroyed by him. It's just hateful!!! It's unbearable. Forbearance! He is bullying me not to go out to sea blatantly, so I will show him right now!"
The eldest son stood aside respectfully, until the King of Lingnan's anger subsided a little, and said: "Father, now the court is watching you, and the previous assassination operation has gone wrong, we really can't go to sea easily.

According to Haier's humble opinion, Gu Linyuan also wants to open up the trade route in Lingnan, so it is better for us to cooperate..."
"No!" The King of Lingnan flicked his sleeves and looked towards the direction of the sea through the window, his eyes were dark and fierce, "That wolf surnamed Gu is ambitious, cooperating with him is no different from cutting flesh and feeding wolves, seeking skins from tigers, and the final end can only be swallowed by him .”
The prince bowed his head and said nothing, but his eyes were full of disapproval.
After all, he was getting old, and after a busy day, he got angry again. The King of Lingnan was a little physically weak, "You go down first, and we can discuss this matter later."

Lingnan King stood by the window and pondered for a moment, his eyes full of anxiety.
He closed the window, sat on the grand master's chair behind the table, looked down and meditated, but his thoughts were confused, he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't help but feel a headache, so he didn't notice a vague fragrance floating to his nose.
When he came back to his senses, his aging body was exhausted, and he suddenly felt dissatisfied. He thought about going to some beautiful concubine to have fun tonight to prove that he was not old. When he wanted to get up, he suddenly found himself moving. no more.
He opened his mouth to call out, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all.
His eyes widened in horror and disbelief.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew in through the gap in the window, extinguishing the last candle.
Lingnan King suddenly looked behind a screen, his eyes widened in horror.
With the faint moonlight coming in through the window, I saw a piece of black clothes coming out from behind the screen.
A vaguely tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness and walked to King Lingnan.
Lingnan King looked up at him, his eyes widened.
Onshore Chapter!
However, the current Lu Shangzhang is completely different from the person he usually knows.
I saw Lu Shangzhang's condescending and downcast eyes looking over at him fiercely and evilly, the corners of his lips curved into a dark and cruel sneer, his tall body was particularly oppressive, and the terrifying aura emanating from his body was almost suffocating. A simple and extremely sharp dagger with no marks or decorations on the handle, a pair of hellish Shura-like eyes sized him up and down, slowly approaching him like a sculptor thinking about what kind of work he would engrave.
……
In the middle of the night, Chi Ranzhi came back from the outside, washed off the bloody smell all over his body, quietly returned to the room, hugged the sleeping Su Mu into his arms, and rubbed his chin on the top of Su Mu's head contentedly.
Su Mu, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly hugged into a chilly embrace, half-opened his eyes in a daze, wrinkled his nose, pushed his hard chest in dissatisfaction, and murmured: "Smelly. "
Chi Ranzhi: "..."
He reached out and tapped the tip of Su Mu's nose: "You stink."
Su Mu chrysalis wanted to escape from his embrace, Chi Ranzhi was pissed off by him, looked at Su Mu's sleeping red face and uncomfortable eyebrows, and sighed, "Hey, sleep."
Su Mu was held in his arms, frowned, unable to break free in half-dream and half-awake, aggrievedly pressed his forehead to Chi Ranzhi's chest, and complained in a pitiful soft voice, "Smelly."
Chi Ranzhi looked down at him, sighed for a while, picked up Su Mu and walked to the bathroom.
Falling into the steaming wooden barrel in a daze, Su Mu leaned against Chi Ranzhi's arms, moaning dissatisfiedly: "Sleepy."
Chi Ranzhi put the cloth towel and soap into Su Mu's hands, and said with a smile, "Hey, didn't you say I smell bad? Wash the fragrance with me before going to bed."
Saying that, he raised Su Mu's hand to wash the incense for him.
After a while, Su Mu's drowsiness disappeared, and he gave him a dissatisfied look, "The sleepiness is gone!"
Anyone who is awakened from a deep sleep will be angry. The more Su Mu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he fiercely held Chi Ranzhi's hand and gnawed, whining, venting his hatred.
Seeing this, Chi Ranzhi stretched out his hand to caress his long wet hair hanging on his back, looked down at Su Mu, and smiled meaningfully: "It's okay, I'll be sleepy after a while."
The next morning, a shrill scream suddenly came from Lingnan Palace.
The prince was just about to go to the study, and rushed in when he heard the screams, but seeing the scene inside, and seeing the Lingnan King who died in a particularly terrifying and miserable state, he couldn't help being a little frightened.
On this day, the guests who had attended the birthday banquet and were about to return home were told that something had happened to the Lingnan Palace and the entire Lingnan was blocked, and they were asked to stay in Lingnan temporarily until the matter was over before leaving.
Everyone didn't know what happened, but seeing the preparedness, they were uneasy for a while and talked a lot.
Su Mu woke up at noon, and was a little happy because he was finally able to leave this ghostly place and return to Beijing.
Looking at his red face, Chi Ranzhi suppressed the news, fed him lunch, finished eating, put on a mask for Su Mu, and then let the steward in charge of the reception of the Lingnan Palace come in to tell the news.
When Su Mu heard that he couldn't leave, he looked in disbelief.
Chi Ranzhi asked people to take the steward of the Lingnan Prince's Mansion down, sat on the soft bed and half-circled Su Mu in his arms, admiring the change of Su Mu's face with great interest.
After digesting the news, Su Mu sat down beside him, depressed.
Chi Ranzhi smiled and pinched Su Mu's cheek, "Alright, it's not an option to stay indoors all the time. There are also many rare objects from overseas in Lingnan. May I take you to the street to see?"
Su Mu glanced at him, "Not interested."
Chi Ranzhi said leisurely: "Maybe there are some who sell meteorites."
Su Mu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he turned to look at Chi Ranzhi, "Then let's go~"
Chi Ranzhi smiled.
Su Mu took the medicine made by Chi Ranzhi himself to regulate the acclimatization of the soil and water, and he didn't have to travel too much. He felt much better, followed Chi Ranzhi out of the inn, and walked around the bustling streets of Lingnan.
Compared with the capital city, the land of Lingnan has a different customs and customs.
Su Mu did see a lot of novel gadgets. Although he didn't see the meteorite, he saw a few good quality stones in the stone gambling field and bought them.
Chi Ranzhi also laughed at him: "I told you, there must be no jade in it, why are you still buying it?"
Su Mu pretended to be stupid: "How do you know? As long as you don't cut it open, you can't say there is no jade inside."
Chi Ranzhi shook his head with a smile, "If you say so, you can."
Then, under the eyes of other stone gamblers who were being taken advantage of, Chi Ranzhi happily spent a lot of money and bought all the stones that Su Mu was looking at.
Since then, there have been rumors in the business world - Lu Lu Zhang, who has always been shrewd and capable, has become stupid since he married his wife.
As a result, some businessmen tried to cheat Lu Shangzhang, but they were called by Lu Shangzhang's crying father and mother.
Rumors are self-defeating.
Besides stones, Su Mu also found a small box of drugs in a small grocery store.
Seeing that Su Mu seemed to know the goods, the shopkeeper said mysteriously: "Ma'am, this is the last stock in our store, and I can't get in now. There may not be many in Lingnan, and it's hard to find."
Chi Ranzhi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he pulled Su Mu away.
The two strolled around for a while, and Su Mu thought deeply: "I also saw A Furong in the Lingnan Palace that day, and the princess gave a box of A Furong to the female relatives who had made friends with her."
Chi Ranzhi stopped and looked at Su Mu seriously, "Mu Mu has studied medicine, so she should know that it's not a good thing, right?"
Su Mu looked at Chi Ranzhi inexplicably and nodded.
Chi Ranzhi smiled and said, "Don't be curious about that kind of thing, I'll take you to buy meteorite."
Su Mu's eyes lit up.
Chi Ranzhi dragged Su Mu into a large shop, and talked to the shopkeeper, and after a while, the shopkeeper brought out a piece of meteorite.
Chi Ranzhi paid the silver ticket, looked at Su Mu holding the meteor iron, looking left and right, loving it, and smiled and patted Su Mu's head.
Very nice.
Lingnan Palace.
The prince and the princess sent the others out to discuss in front of King Lingnan's coffin.
The concubine looked at the corpse of the Lingnan king, with a flash of pleasure in her eyes, and asked her son: "Chen'er, you mean that your father might have been sent by the court to kill him?"
Shizi lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, "That's right."
The princess frowned and thought for a while, and finally said: "Then, we can't say anything about this matter."
After a pause, the concubine suppressed the smile on her lips, and said lightly, "Let's say to the outside world, the prince died suddenly."
The prince was silent for a while, and bowed to answer.
Zhong Jingyu and Zhong Jingying only knew that something happened to their father, but they didn't know what happened at all, so they felt uneasy.
The King of Lingnan is as lustful as his life, but he doesn't have many children, only two sons and one daughter. Although the King of Lingnan is usually cruel and capricious, he is the only reliance of the two siblings.
Now, once the King of Lingnan died, the princess and her son Zhong Jingchen were in charge of the family. Zhong Jingchen was usually quite gentle and didn't care about the affairs of the back house.Everyone in the Xu family is a lady, and they don't pay attention to the back house.But the princess is different.Not to mention how miserable the concubine Ji in this mansion will end up, the future of their siblings is unpredictable.
When they heard the news of the sudden death of the King of Lingnan, the two brothers and sisters suddenly turned pale.
The next day, the guests who came to the banquet heard the news that the King of Lingnan died suddenly on the night of his birthday, and they sighed.Now there is no need to leave, just go to mourning in two days.
Su Mu learned the news while having lunch. He frowned when he thought of the King of Lingnan, and thought of Chi Ranzhi going out that night. He looked at Chi Ranzhi and blinked.
Immediately, I felt that the dark clouds hanging over my head had dispersed.
The sky is bright and the air is clear, and the spirit is refreshing.
Chi Ranzhi drank the soup slowly, and glanced at him lazily.
Su Mu tilted his head slightly and looked at him with a smile for a moment, wiped his mouth, and began to pick fishbone for Chi Ranzhi.
While he was picking, Chi Ranzhi was eating, enjoying himself.
I played in Lingnan for another two days, but unfortunately I didn't meet any sellers of meteorites in these two days.
Afterwards, Chi Ranzhi took Su Mu to attend the funeral of Lingnan King.
At the funeral, only the concubine, the eldest son Zhong Jingchen and the eldest son, Zhong Jingyu and Zhong Jingying did not appear.
Looking at Lingnan King's coffin, Su Mu grabbed Chi Ranzhi's sleeve and lowered his eyes.
Is Chu Qingxuan's funeral coming soon?
This guy helped him kill Chu Qingxuan when he said he would go back.
Chi Ranzhi glanced at him with downcast eyes, then patted his hand lightly.
Not far away, Zhong Jingchen saw this scene in his eyes.
His eyes fell on Su Mu intentionally or unintentionally.
She looks better.
Ever since she was fainted by her father and taken away by Lu Shangzhang that day, for some reason, Zhong Jingchen always had her figure in his mind.
Although, he still doesn't know her name.
Zhong Jingchen glanced at Zhang Lu again.
lowered his eyes.
Just a businessman.
someday...
In his pupils hidden by eyelash feathers, two wildfires lit up, determined to win.
After the funeral, Chi Ranzhi took Su Mu back to Beijing and took a detour to the south of the Yangtze River.
Capital
Chu Qingxuan had just recovered from her injuries, so she insisted on going to the Wen family's property inspection in the capital.
Chu Daixiu persuaded worriedly: "Your injuries are not fully healed yet, you should rest for a while longer."
Chu Qingxuan changed into an expensive white brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns, covered with a layer of light gauze, and decorated with a jade pendant decorated with suet and white jade. She smiled softly and gently, "Brother, I want to go out and do something. Take it easy, the injury will heal faster."
It's rare that the second uncle trusts him so much, he has to perform well.
Moreover, as the adoptive son of the second uncle, he is now a justifiable young owner, who can use the profits of all industries in the capital.
Xiao Shuo's incident and An Guogong's attitude gave him a great sense of crisis. He wanted to climb higher, so he had to plan carefully now.
One day, he will become the person Su Mu looks up to and envies, standing below one person above ten thousand people, and being supported by ten thousand people.
And the only one who can allow him to achieve this goal is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Therefore, he now has to work hard to accumulate financial resources, and to raise his reputation to a higher level, so as to gain the favor of His Royal Highness.
When he becomes the crown princess, he will make Su Mu, Seventh Princess and Xiao Shuo lose everything, and make them cry and kneel in front of him begging for mercy!Then he tortured him first and then killed him, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!
As for what to do...
When the time is right, he can accuse Xiao Shuo'an of collaborating with the enemy. What's more, Xiao Shuo's meritorious service is so powerful. If he provokes a little at that time, his family will be ransacked and his family will be wiped out.
And the Seventh Princess...
There have been empresses and empress dowagers in history, and he wants people to spread rumors that the seventh princess will become an empress dowager. In this way, there will definitely be a rift between His Royal Highness the crown prince and the seventh princess, and the empress...
At that time, without him doing anything, the queen and the prince will kill the seventh princess, not to mention Su Mu who is protected by the seventh princess.
No one knows how to kill with a borrowed knife better than him.
While Chu Qingxuan was thinking, Chu Daixiu said: "I don't feel relieved if you go out alone, let's go with you."
Chu Qingxuan came back to his senses, looked at Chu Daixiu, and said with a smile, "Okay, big brother."
This is just a stepping stone for him.
A useful stepping stone.
"Yunshu, what about you?" Chu Daixiu asked Chu Yunshu, "I seldom see you recently, what are you up to?"
Chu Yunshu smiled slightly, and looked at Chu Qingxuan dotingly, "Qingxuan is going out, so naturally my second brother will follow."
Langyue Fengqing with Chu Qingxuan's smile.
He almost forgot, it was two stepping stones.
Chu Qingxuan led the two of them to the Yunxiang restaurant, which was the most profitable of the Wen family's businesses in the capital, but found that there were very few customers here, and the shopkeeper's face was full of food. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw a Help the dudes hula-la-la-la rushing in the door.
Chu Daixiu looked at the dandies, frowned and looked at the leader, the tall dandy in pink brocade, "Xuan He, what are you doing?"
Xuan He took a look at Chu Daixiu: "Yo, you are here too. Brothers have nothing to do, just come to check in and do daily tasks~"
After the words fell, he waved his sleeves: "Smash me!!!"
When he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, Su Mu's symptoms of acclimatization disappeared completely, and he was very energetic all day long. He wanted to play and see everywhere, as if having fun.
Chi Ranzhi thought that Su Mu grew up in Jiangnan.
Then, thinking about who was raised by him, his complexion suddenly darkened, and without any explanation, he took Su Mu to the capital without stopping, without stopping to play in the middle.
Naturally, Su Mu didn't play enough and felt disappointed, but thinking of Chi Ranzhi taking the risk of killing the King of Lingnan to relieve his anger, he didn't say anything. Looking at the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan outside the window reluctantly, Chi Ranzhi's face became even more stinky, and he stretched out his hand. The curtains are drawn.
Su Mu glared angrily.
Chi Ranzhi slowly took out a piece of meteorite. Su Mu looked at Chi Ranzhi and then at the meteorite. His anger dissipated, and he grabbed the meteorite to play with.
Ten days later, the two finally returned to the capital.
On the second day after returning to the Princess Mansion, Chi Ranzhi seemed very busy and went out early in the morning.
Su Mu rested for a day yesterday, thinking that although Chi Ranzhi was very happy to help him avenge him, but his hands were a little itchy, so he took someone to the small courtyard to see the two murderers, but found that the small courtyard was empty, and everyone ran away .
Su Mu was so angry that he decided to hold a sweet and sour meeting in the small courtyard, and brought Xie Jianyu and the dudes together.
Bored, the dude moved a chair and sat in the yard. Su Mu sat cross-legged on the stone bench next to the stone table, propping his chin and feeling unhappy.
Xie Jianyu sat down at the stone table, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Su Mu. He looked at Su Mu with a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes and said, "A gift for you."
Su Mu took it listlessly, and unfolded it for a look.
"The title deed of Yunxiang Restaurant?"
Xie Jianyu smiled and said, "Well, I sold the Yunxiang Restaurant at a low price. As the first property of the Sweet and Sour Association, are you happy?"
Su Mu's eyes lit up: "Happy!"
The dandies looked at it and quit, Xuan He said: "Xie, you actually took credit for us? It is obvious that we insisted on smashing and smashing the Yunxiang restaurant every day, so that you had the opportunity to buy it. You traitor!"
Xie Jianyu was smiling, with sharp tongues and sharp tongues. He was not afraid of a group of dudes by himself, but made them very angry.
Su Mu's eyes lit up, and he began to use the water-carrying skills he stole from the emperor: "Everyone, don't worry, I have a solution."
After finishing the sentence, he looked at Xie Jianyu: "Go and compile a list of Wen's properties in the capital."
Xie Jianyu smiled slightly, and took out a list from his sleeve, "It's been sorted out a long time ago, and it's ranked according to profitability."
Su Mu looked at Xie Jianyu in surprise, and then smiled and showed it to the dudes: "Look, don't worry, everyone has a share. Let's come one by one~"
The dandies looked at Su Mu, then at the list, and suddenly felt a chill.
They suddenly realized that this Wen family seemed to belong to the uncle's family in front of them.
Thinking of the relationship between Chu Qingxuan and Su Mu, she seemed to understand something.
In fact, they are naturally opposed to those gentlemen and literati who like Chu Qingxuan who are going to inherit the family business, so they look at Su Mu pleasing to the eye.
They are all my own people who have suffered from oppression and have unspeakable sufferings!
So gearing up, he came to the Wen family's second most profitable restaurant, displaying his stunts.
Su Mu and Xie Jianyu were sitting in the carriage. Su Mu looked out of the window and rolled his eyes with a smile.
Not long after, Chu Daixiu came over with Chu Qingxuan, and Chu Yunshu followed behind them.
Standing in front of the car window, Chu Daixiu looked at the smiling Su Mu, and asked sharply, "So you let these people make trouble? Do you know whose property this is?"
Su Mu lay on the car window and ignored Chu Daixiu. His eyes were clear and bright, and he looked at Chu Qingxuan with a naive smile:
"I know."
"It was you who smashed it."
