"What!" Even someone as calm as Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but stare with wide eyes in shock.

As a ambitious merchant, although she was currently staying in a remote three-star town, she had more or less heard about some of the powerful figures in the imperial city.

For example, North King and Princess Qiu Yuexin had been married for many years and only had one son, Chu Xuran, on their knees.

Yes, he only had one son, Chu Xuran. He didn't even have a daughter. Although North King Palace had many concubines, none of them had children.

Now that Chu Xuran had died, there was no one left to inherit the title of North King.

Which also meant that... Lu Jinfeng, the only son, should go on stage.

"Some things can't be avoided. Whether you want to or not, it will come to your door." Lu Jinfeng looked at her shocked expression and said blandly, "It's not Lin Mo's fault. The North King's Concubine already knows of my existence. She won't let me off."

"She's just a princess, and there's no child under her knee. What can I do to you?" Chen Mu Mu Mu muttered, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, "You said that the North King's Concubine already knows of your existence, then during this period of time, you and I were constantly ambushed … Could those people have been sent by the North King Concubine? "

Lu Jinfeng nodded her head, her eyes clouded: "At that time, Chu Xuran wasn't dead yet, and she was afraid that I would threaten her son's position, so she wanted me to die."

If Lin Mo had not saved them a few times, both he and Chen Mu Mu would have been decapitated.

"So cruel." Chen Mu Mu Mu touched his chin with his index finger and snorted, "Seems like the heavens will not be able to bear to see Chu Xuran's death. Give me your retribution."

Chu Lin had betrayed Mo Qin's family, Qiu Yuexin wanted to kill Mo Qin's son, the entire North King Palace was nothing good, they had committed too many sins, they had received their retribution.

"Whether or not we take revenge has nothing to do with us, but after Chu Xuran dies, I'm afraid our days will not last long." Lu Jinfeng cast a sidelong glance at her, "Chen Mu Mu Mu, you must be busy in the future."

"Ai, what kind of life is this? Why is it so bitter?" She ground her teeth, this North King Concubine was also a lunatic. Her own son dying had nothing to do with Lu Jinfeng, why are you still not letting Lu Jinfeng go?

However, she was also a woman, so Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu could guess what she was thinking.

Although her son had died, there was no guarantee that he would not be reborn … Although the chances were very small. Even if she could not be reborn, North King did not have any other children. When she went to adopt one, she would still be the owner mother of the entire North King Palace. But it was different when Lu Jinfeng returned to the North King Palace.

Lu Jinfeng was the North King's biological son and only son. Furthermore, she had never had anything to do with Lu Jinfeng, so if Lu Jinfeng were to return to the Duke Palaces, how could she possibly live a peaceful life?

Being human was after all selfish.

Furthermore, North King did not know that Lu Jinfeng was not dead yet. If she were to secretly kill Lu Jinfeng, even if North King investigated him afterwards, he would not be able to do anything to her.

"Lu Jinfeng, you said that the new year will come to the capital.

"With such a good father and such a good family background, why can't I accept him?" A trace of malicious ridicule flashed past Lu Jinfeng's eyes, his expression was indifferent and cold, "This is what he owes me and Mo Qin, I do not want Mo Qin's money, but I still want to seek justice."

Seeing his sinister look, Chen Mu couldn't help but shudder: "Why would I sweat for the North King's Consort when she wants to deal with you?"

Lu Jinfeng chuckled, his slender fingers grabbing the bangs on her forehead and gently putting it behind her head, his voice gentle and cold.

"If people don't offend me, then I won't offend them. If I get bullied, then I will have to return the favor."

Chen Mu Mu Mu took a step back, glanced at him, and shook his head, "Forget it, as long as you have a plan in mind, don't play yourself to death. Those people are not that simple. "

Who was Lu Jinfeng, a master who refused to be taken advantage of with his cheap mouth? How could the people from the North King Palace bully them?

In the past, he didn't have the ability or the opportunity, but now … With Lin Mo's help.

She was worried about a ghost.

"You're worried about me, that's better." Lu Jinfeng stood up and pulled her hand, his eyes carrying an endless smile, "Accompany me to the capital?"

Chen Mu Mu staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

This kid was becoming more and more adept at teasing others. At times, he would not let go of any opportunity to take advantage of them.

However, at his age, how could he know what love was?

How many worlds and women had he seen, would he only like her?

She shook her head and dismissed the question that had suddenly flashed through her mind. She said indifferently, "I'm not accompanying you."

The straightforwardly refused him, causing Lu Jinfeng to be surprised for a moment. He pursed his lips, and looked as if he felt wronged.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll be tricked to death?"

"One has to know their own limits. If one doesn't have the ability, it would be fitting to die just by provoking others." Chen Mu Mu Mu squinted his eyes and laughed, "Lu Jinfeng, I always thought you were not stupid. "You haven't grown any wings yet, so you definitely can't fly."

Lu Jinfeng was silent.

Was she praising or insulting him?

No matter what, he had two hundred taels of silver. He had enough to pay the monthly expenses of the villagers in the workshop.

Seeing the real money, the villagers immediately shut their mouths and worked even harder in the workshop.

Chen Mu Mu brought in a new batch of raw materials, and also made a few unique snacks for the newly taught people. With Aunt Wang and Bai Xiulin's management skills, Chen Mu Mu Mu finally made some time.

Three hundred silver taels just disappeared like that, causing her to feel embarrassed. Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't have the kind heart to take advantage of the thief.

She decided to set up a trap to lure the thief out.

Thus, on this day, after they had finished eating breakfast, she intentionally took advantage of the Lu family members' time to whisper to Lu Jinfeng: "I lost that money last time, I just managed to gather five hundred silver with great difficulty, you better take it easy, or else I'll lose it when I'm not home."

Lu Jinfeng raised his eyebrows with a smile and comforted: "Don't worry. Ever since the last time you entered the house, the doors and windows in your house have all been locked. No one can enter without a key."

He smiled slightly. "You have to keep that key in your hand tightly. If you lose it again, don't you dare cry to me."

"Tch, who would cry?" Chen Mu turned the key over in his hand and slapped it onto his palm. "But you're right, I've always been careless. Last time, I lost so much silver due to carelessness, so I decided to leave without bringing my key with me. You keep it."

As she spoke, she turned her head slightly, and saw that Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er had already pricked up their ears.

"I'll take it, I'll take it. You came back earlier, and I promised my cousin that I would go catch some fish by the river. I won't be sending you off today." Lu Jinfeng said.

Chen Mu Mu nodded before taking the money bag and heading out.

After Madam Li saw Chen Mu Mu Mu had left, he carefully warned Lu Jinfeng: "Five hundred silver is not a small amount. You better watch out for the money, if you lose the key, how will we compensate you?"

"Mom, I understand." Lu Jinfeng agreed and sent her out the door.

Before Madam Li left, his gaze swept past Lu Yulian and her daughter. Then, he turned and went to the workshop.

Lu Yulian and her daughter did not need to work in the workshop, if the small workshop was to run, it would not be a carefree job to ask for help. Lu Yulian and her daughter were not just hungry, they would not willingly volunteer to work for Chen Mu.

Seeing that Chen Mu Mu and Madam Li had left, Lu Yulian excused himself to interact with the villagers and also left the courtyard.

"Cousin, let's go catch some fish by the river. A few days ago, I saw the two oxen catching fish and it was quite interesting. " Leaving the two of them alone, Lin Qiu'er said happily.

"It's quite interesting indeed. The fish in our workshop are usually caught and sold to us by our village people. Who would have thought that Mu Mu's little girl wouldn't have one of her tendons tied correctly? She insisted on eating the fish that we caught ourselves." Lu Jinfeng shook his head, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat angry.

Lin Qiu'er naturally wished Lu Jinfeng and Chen Mu were at odds, but when she heard this, she nodded and advised: "Cousin sister, you and your aunt have spoiled her too much in the past. She is still young and young and doesn't understand much.

"She is the youngest in the family and should be spoiled. Why would I care?" Lu Jinfeng grabbed the fishnet and said indifferently, a look of unhappiness flashed past his eyes.

What kind of a person was Chen Mu Mu? Qin Wentian's heart was clear. He said that she was too young and didn't understand anything, and this person should be none other than Lin Qiu'er.

The women who would slander others behind their backs were not virtuous and virtuous women. Lin Qiu'er's words would only be looked down upon by others.

When Lin Qiu'er saw that his attitude was neither cold nor indifferent, she knew that she had hit a nail on the head. In her heart, she became even more disgusted with Chen Mu.

Her cousin, who should have been alone and should have been yearning for her, was instead hung so close to her by Chen Mu. It was truly infuriating.

However, Chen Mu wanted to play. After she lost all of her potential, would she be able to continue playing?

Lin Qiu'er looked at Lu Jinfeng's back as he walked in front, a crafty smile flashing across her eyes.

This Lu family was hers after all. This man would also be hers.

Catching fish means finding a specific position, spreading the net, dropping the bait, and waiting for the fish to hook up before pulling the net up. This seemed like a simple task, but when it really came down to it, it wasn't easy at all.

Every step required skill. If the skill was not good enough, the fish would not be able to take the bait. Even if the fish was caught, the fish would still run away.

For example, Lin Qiu'er had already let go of the flying fish he had obtained five times.

Lu Jinfeng could not watch any longer, and said: "Watch by the side, I will catch them, if not, you will not be able to catch any more fish at night."

Lin Qiu'er wasn't at a loss either, giving up her position while saying in distress, "It's not that I don't work hard, but these fish are too crafty, I can't catch them at all."

Lu Jinfeng did not utter a word, taking the net, he walked towards the designated place and got off the net.

Lin Qiu'er looked at Lu Jinfeng, only to see the youth with broad shoulders and narrow buttocks, tall and slim, throwing the fish net into the river, moving extremely quickly and gracefully.

The sun shone brightly, and the bronze handle of the fishing net emitted sunlight. The mist of water was faint, and it dyed the surroundings with a colorful glow. The youth's handsome face was bathed within, like a divine residence under the nine heavens, sacred and honorable, causing people to look up and worship him.

As expected of the man she had set her eyes on, he was unbeatable and enchanting no matter how she looked at him.

Lin Qiu'er was stunned for a moment as she looked at Lu Jinfeng's face. Suddenly, she remembered what she had been thinking about, her eyes rolling as she walked towards Lu Jinfeng quickly and extended her hand to pull the fishing net from the youth's hand.

"Such a heavy fish, it must be a big fish. Cousin, let me help you!"

Seeing her coming over, Lu Jinfeng subconsciously frowned. Just as he was about to reject, he saw from the corner of his eyes that her other hand had moved, and was actually pushing her towards his back.

With his current abilities, it was easy for him to dodge her clumsy attacks.

But, he had to give someone a chance to see her face, right?

A trace of unnoticeable ridicule appeared in Lu Jinfeng's eyes, he suddenly relaxed his body and allowed it to follow the inertia of Lin Qiu'er pushing against him, staggering and falling towards the wet mud on the riverside.

"Whap." Water splashed in all directions and mud splashed everywhere.

The water in the river was extremely clear, but because the soil along the river bank had been soaked in water for a long time, and was often trampled on by the villagers, it formed many mud pits. Lu Jinfeng coincidentally fell into one of the mud pits.

"Cousin, you …" Are you all right? "

His bedraggled appearance made him look like a bedraggled dog. How could this be alright?

Lu Jinfeng raised his hands to wipe the mud off his face, his expression gloomy.
