C70 Business

After telling Madam Lee about it, Chen Mu Mu started to discuss about how to make food with Lu Jinfeng.

The common people ate like the sky. The food business was naturally the most profitable business. However, how could doing business be so simple? Be it the ingredients or the flow of customers, they all had to pay attention to this point.

After discussing for a long time, they still felt that they should go to the town and the city to do some new things that were not available in the market. After all, if they really wanted to compete, then the inns and restaurants that already had a fixed source of customers would have an advantage over them.

Coincidentally, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu had to go to the Feather Workshop to get Shangguan Bai to sign his contract, so he brought Lu Jinfeng to the town.

"We should have signed the contract yesterday, but it's a pity that Shangguan Bai has matters to attend to and has changed to today." Chen Mu Mu frowned slightly. "Businessmen place the most importance on honesty. They already broke their promise yesterday. I hope nothing unexpected will happen today."

"Shangguan Bai should have trusted him." The silent Lu Jinfeng comforted her, "The Shangguan Family is very large, your bargaining chip is not light, they have no reason to reject it."

Chen Mu Mu nodded, feeling an indescribable unease in his heart.

With a carriage, it would be much more convenient to go to the town. In just two incense sticks worth of time, they would be at the entrance of Feather Workshop.

"Young Master Lu's Lady Chen." The manager was already waiting at the door. When he saw the two of them, his attitude became more respectful, "Young Master, you've been waiting inside for a long time. Please follow me."

Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng went in. The back of the Feather Workshop was different, but in the backyard, there was a tall and short house that was situated at the back of the house.

Chen Mu Mu Mu had never seen such a design before, and she couldn't help but take another look at it. The Shangguan family was huge, so it was reasonable that their master's thoughts were different from those of ordinary people. It was just that this seemingly messy arrangement did not suit the name of the wealthiest person, and after entering, a faint uncomfortable feeling arose in his heart.

Chen Mu Mu frowned as he felt that there was something weird with the manor. However, he couldn't think of anything weird, so he suppressed his emotions.

He turned his head to look at Lu Jinfeng, only to see that Lu Jinfeng's brows were furrowed too, his eyes filled with vigilance, he could feel that every single pore on his skin was on alert.

He could not help but laugh as he quietly pulled him back. "Did you notice anything amiss?"

She was different from the times he lived in, and the way he saw things was also different. His mind was now active, and he might not be able to see the problem that she couldn't.

"No, I just thought it was weird." Lu Jinfeng also said softly, his brows still on guard, "There's already been a plan for the Five Element Eight Trigrams, if you are not careful, you might end up in the array. Follow the manager's footsteps."

Chen Mu Mu recalled the maze that he had encountered in the Feng Residence the night before and couldn't help but shiver. He didn't dare to be distracted and tightly stared at the steward's steps.

The Five Elements Eight Trigrams and Hydras had been mysterious since ancient times. In her era, there were still mysteries that could not be explained. Moreover, she had experienced it herself, so how could she dare to be careless? The last time she had entered the array, she was only in it with no killing power. But just the array itself was already enough to give Lu Jinfeng and her a headache.

However, it was just a signing, yet Shangguan Bai was setting up a formation to welcome him. What was his intention?

The thing that made her the most curious was still Lu Jinfeng: "How do you know that the Five Element Eight Trigrams were arranged here?"

"Master taught me." Lu Jinfeng glanced at her, "I taught it last night."

He really didn't hide it at all. Wasn't he afraid that she would sell it?

However, since Lu Jinfeng had said it so straightforwardly, Chen Mu Mu couldn't beat around the bush anymore. With a faint smile, he casually praised: "Your master really loves you.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The more powerful the Forest Demoness was, the more it meant that he was no ordinary person, and the more it proved that the person he was trying so hard to get close to was no ordinary person.

Thinking back to the strange things that happened a few days ago, Lu Jinfeng's life was probably not simple at all.

"Naturally, he is my master." Lu Jinfeng said indifferently, a complicated look flashing past his eyes, "It's just that recently, he has been treating me better."

Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at him in shock.

This man's mind was very active, Forest Demoness's mind was able to guess everything.

"Since you understand and are unwilling to get involved with the story behind him, why did you accept the benefits of the Forest Demoness?"

Lu Jinfeng did not want to rediscover his true identity, but if the person in question was the Forest Demoness, then he should not be willing to accept the Forest Demoness.

"It's not a disaster, it's a blessing, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Lu Jinfeng said indifferently, a trace of pain could not be seen in his eyes, "If there is destined to be a storm, dodging it is not an option, the only way is to become stronger, and then we can fight against the wind and rain."

Chen Mu Mu was stunned as he stared at Qin Wentian, feeling as though his son had just grown up.

"Watch the way." Seeing her stunned look, Lu Jinfeng's good friend laughed and pushed her again, "Don't step on your heels."

Because of the manager's presence, some warnings could not be given out in public. What he wanted her to be careful was not to step on his heels, but to jump into the trap.

Naturally, Chen Mu understood the other party's intentions. With a self-deprecating smile, he followed behind the head steward.

Although the corridor went along this path, it didn't take a long time to walk through. Soon, they arrived in front of a wooden house.

"Young Master, Young Master Lu and Lady Chen have arrived." The steward raised his voice to the room.

"Let them in. You can leave now." Shangguan Bai's voice came from inside the room.

"This little one understands." The manager responded as he made a "please" gesture towards Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng, then silently turned and left.

The room regained its tranquility once again. The faint sounds of breathing and the fragrance of medicine wafted from the air, appearing extremely strange in this silent atmosphere.

Chen Mu Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng looked at each other, Chen Mu Mu Mu gritted her teeth and nodded to him, then led the way in.

Since he was already here, he might as well settle things here. There was no reason to turn back, he might as well see what Shangguan Bai was up to.

"Cough, cough." Just as he entered, the heavy breathing from before became a cough that sounded unceasing.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough …"

It was as though he was coughing out his lungs. Just by listening to his words, he felt as though the air was seeping through his veins.

Chen Mu Mu raised his eyes and looked towards the direction of the voice, but saw Shangguan Bai sitting at a table of the Eight Immortals, holding onto the kernels and coughing continuously, his eyes sunken and his face pale.

Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng were both startled, and called out softly: "Sir Shangguan?"

The elegant and graceful young master that they had met the day before was he the same person as the man in front of them?

Shangguan Bai turned his head upon hearing this and coughed a few more times. Finally, he stopped coughing and handed the kernels that was covering his mouth to a servant at the side. He smiled and said: "You've come."

With her sharp eyes, Chen Mu Mu Mu noticed that a corner of the white kernels appeared from the attendant's brocade cloth.

It was already this serious?

Chen Mu Ning frowned.

"Lady Chen?" When Shangguan Bai called out to the two of them, he saw that there was no reaction, but when he saw Chen Mu Mu's expression, he smiled bitterly and said, "My cold was even worse when I was in the middle of the month, my body is getting worse.

"It's okay, Shangguan Gongzi is sick, we shouldn't bother him." Lu Jinfeng replied, just as he was about to talk to Chen Mu about the contract, she frowned even more, and then with a face full of anger, he walked towards Shangguan Bai and grabbed his arm.

"Didn't I already tell you that your Yang Deficiency is so severe that you had to find a doctor to prescribe medicine? How come you didn't listen?"

Shangguan Bai was startled by her action, his pale handsome face flushed red, "Miss Chen, you …"

The attendant by her side was dumbfounded. Just as he was about to step forward to stop her assault, Chen Mu Mu Mu harrumphed in displeasure.

"Don't move, I'm checking my pulse."

The manservant stopped moving, but Shangguan Bai's handsome face was still red. He slightly averted his gaze before remaining calm and said: "Miss Chen also knows medicine?"

"A little." As Chen Mu spoke, he focused on listening to the pulse of Qin Wentian.

The attendant said angrily, "Miss, you're obviously looking for reasons to take advantage of my young master. My young master has been ill for quite some time, and countless doctors have failed to cure him. How dare you, young lady …"

"Ah Cheng." Shangguan Bai growled, his tone low, but it made the angry servant shut his mouth.

"Little servant is rude, I'll discipline you in a bit later. Sorry to embarrass you." Shangguan Bai said, his voice soft and gentle. Seeing her serious expression, his lips curled up into a smile. "Do you see anything?"

"I heard from your servant that you have been ill for quite some time. When did it happen? " Chen Mu Mu Mu answered with an irrelevant answer.

"It's been about ten years. He was mischievous when he was young, and after he fell into the water, he had an aftereffect." On the other hand, Shangguan Bai also cooperated and coughed twice. The servant quickly passed the clean kernels over, he grabbed it and covered his mouth, coughing up a mouthful of blood. After putting away the kernels, his expression was dispirited and dispirited. "My illness is a bit unlucky. Please don't get too close to me, for fear of getting sick. The contract has already been drawn up and is on the table. If the two of you feel that there's no problem, you can sign it. "

When they met the other day, he had been a gentle and elegant young master. But now, he seemed to be sick as a whole, and it was hard not to feel sorry for him.

Lu Jinfeng thought of his previous condition, and inexplicably felt some sympathy for this rich young master. Thinking about how Chen Mu had cured her disease, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu, "Can you cure this disease?"

Chen Mu thought for a moment before nodding his head. "Seventy-nine medicinal herbs, supplemented with needles to induce blood circulation, have forced out the cold yin energy and poison in my body. I should be able to recover in another two months."

Bang.

He was flabbergasted, as if he had heard something unbelievable. "Little girl, don't speak nonsense, even the imperial physician can't cure my young master's illness, and it won't even last three years. You actually said that it can be cured in two months!"

Shangguan Bai didn't say anything, he just looked calmly at Chen Mu. The hand placed on his knee couldn't help but tremble slightly, implying the intense emotions in his heart.
