But within a minute, the servant who had entered to report came out and said a few words in the ear of the butler.
After listening, the housekeeper immediately opened the door and made a please gesture to Mu Jingchen and Bai Liyue.
"Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu, please come in."
Mu Jingchen and Bai Liyue walked side by side and followed the housekeeper into the Dongfang house.
The butler led them to the Dongfang's living room, and said: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Mu, our young master is still in the company now.
However, our wife is at home, so I asked you to go in and sit in. She has notified our little master that he will be back soon. "
"Well, it doesn't matter."
Mu Jingchen was still expressionless, his emotions did not fluctuate at all, and he walked calmly to the drawing room of the Dongfang home.
When he came this time, he didn't come to look for Dongfang Han.
…
soon.
The butler led Mu Jingchen and Bai Liyue to the lobby of a villa and introduced: "This is the living room of our Dongfang family. Our wife is in it."
"Thanks a lot."
After thanking the housekeeper, Bai Liyue followed Mu Jingchen into the hall.
The living room of the Oriental House is luxurious, tidy, and very quiet.
When Mu Jingchen and Bai Liyue stepped into the living room together, they saw a woman wearing a brown dress and a short black cloak walking down the stairs.
The manners are very elegant.
This woman looks soft and beautiful, with black hair tied behind her head with a simple pearl hairpin, which is very delicate.
It seems that he is less than thirty years old.
I heard that Dongfang family has three children, Dongfang Han is the youngest, and he also has two older sisters.
Dongfang Wan had seen them before, presumably, the person in front of him should be Dongfang Han's second sister, Dongfang Yi.
Bai Liyue took two steps forward, smiled gently at these women, and said politely: "Hello, Miss Dongfang, we are..."
Before she finished speaking, the woman covered her mouth and smiled.
Bai Liyue looked at her suspiciously, "Miss Dongfang, what are you laughing at?"
The housekeeper of the Dongfang family hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "Mrs. Mu, this is our wife."
Bai Liyue was surprised and glanced at the woman in front of her again.
This woman's skin can be broken by blows, and only a little powder is applied, but there is no trace of wrinkles.
As far as she knows, Dongfang's wife Wen Rumeng is over fifty years old.
But she looks so young, it can't be an exaggeration to say that she is growing backwards.
Bai Liyue smiled apologetically, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Dongfang, you are so young, I mistakenly thought it was the daughter of the Dongfang family, sorry."
Wen Rumeng waved his hand lightly, obviously not paying attention.
After all, no woman will be angry when she is praised for being young.
Wen Rumeng looks young and has a steady manner. Between her gestures, she can find the gap between her and the young woman.
Mu Jingchen walked two steps closer and introduced himself: "Mrs. Dongfang, I'm bothering to visit you suddenly."
Wen Rumeng smiled and nodded.
"The servant has come to report just now. You are the young master of the Mu family and a friend of my son. You don't have to see outside, please sit down."
Wen Rumeng invited Mu Jingchen and Bai Liyue to sit down.
When Wen Rumeng passed by Bai Liyue, Bai Liyue smelled a strong perfume on her body and almost choked.
She covered her nose lightly and almost sneezed impolitely.
At the same time, I was also a little curious, how could a woman with such a dignified Wen Rumeng spray such a heavy perfume.
After taking a look at Wen Rumeng, Bai Liyue sat with Mu Jingchen.
The servants of the Dongfang family were very insightful, so they hurried to make good tea and brought them over.
After Wen Rumeng invited Mu Jingchen to drink tea, he said, "Sit down for a while, and my son will be back soon."
Mu Jingchen took a sip of the tea min in front of him, then put down the teacup, looking at Wen Rumeng.
"Mrs. Dongfang, you have misunderstood. We came this time not to find Master Dongfang, but to you."
"Find me?"
Wen Rumeng was just taking the action of the tea, and he was puzzled.
Bai Liyue nodded and added: "Yes, Mrs. Dongfang, we have heard that there is a rare herb from Dongfang family, cold pearl grass.
We are now in need of this herbal medicine, so I want to ask Mrs. Dongfang if she can sell it to us. "
Hearing that Mu Jingchen and Bai Liyue had come to seek cold pearl grass, the smile on Wen Rumeng's face was stiff, obviously a little embarrassed.
"It's really unfortunate, Master Mu, Madam Mu, this year's cold pearl grass has already been booked.
As you all know, cold pearl grass, a herb that grows in an extremely picky environment, only grows in extremely cold places, and its survival rate is extremely low.
Even though I have a self-made ice cellar in my eastern home, I plant thousands of seeds every year, and the survival rate has never exceeded one.
For the cold pearl grass that survived this year, someone had already booked it with me at a high price two days ago. After a period of time has matured, that person will come to pick it up. "
When Bai Liyue heard that there was only one herbal medicine this year and it had been reserved, she quickly got up and said, "Mrs. Dongfang, we need this herbal medicine to save life. Could you please tell the person who ordered it? We would like to ask. Double the price, buy this medicinal material!"
Wen Rumeng directly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Mu, we businessman, we talk about integrity. Once we have sold it, we will never change it."
Bai Liyue didn't expect that she would come a step late.
The herbal medicine of Hanzhucao has the miraculous effect of warming tonic and detoxification. It can be used for hanging by the dying, but it is useless for ordinary people.
Bai Liyue still didn't give up: "Then can you tell me who bought it, I can go and negotiate with that person."
Wen Rumeng shook his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I promised to keep the buyer's information confidential."
"But……"
Bai Liyue wanted to say something, Mu Jingchen stretched out his hand and lightly grabbed her arm, winked at her, and motioned her not to continue speaking.
Bai Liyue understood what he meant.
Even though he was a little unwilling, he didn't say anything.
Mu Jingchen looked at Wen Rumeng and said directly: "In that case, Mrs. Dongfang, I'm sorry."
Wen Rumeng chuckled and nodded: "It's okay."
After speaking, Mu Jingchen took Bai Liyue, and the two walked out of the Dongfang's living room together.
The moment she walked out of the meeting room, Bai Liyue shook Mu Jingchen's hand and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Why don't you let the conversation go on?
That herb can save your life! And only this one! If you are bought by someone else, you are not saved! "
Mu Jingchen looked at Bai Liyue's angry expression, knowing that she was too concerned about his safety.
He smiled softly and held her hand again.
"Before I came here, I have inquired that Dongfangjia is the most honest and honest, since it has promised to keep the buyer's information confidential, it will never tell us."
Bai Liyue was a little discouraged, and she hugged Mu Jingchen's arm and said, "What should I do? I can't watch you get poisoned and die, right?"
