"If he's not here, then wait. Shangguan Bai's news has always been quick." Chen Mu stared at the manor as determination filled his eyes. "At this moment, only he can be relied on. We need someone who can help us."

Otherwise, just these few commoners would not be able to temporarily block the government and assassins.

Besides, he was her partner and she was prepared to continue doing business. They could hide anything from each other, and Shangguan Bai could not hide it from him.

If she thought she was dead and swallowed the money she earned from working with her, she wouldn't even be able to cry.

It had to be known that she had worked so hard to achieve what she had today. She didn't want the results to be given to others like this.

"But if, I mean if." Lu Jinfeng fixed his gaze at Chen Mu Mu Mu, "What if Shangguan Bai wants to harm our people?"

"You are delusional." Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head in amusement, "Shangguan Bai is just a businessman. If he wanted to harm us, he would've done so long ago. There's no need to wait until today, he has plenty of opportunities."

Looking at how she believed in Shangguan Bai, Lu Jinfeng's tone was a little sour. "You trust him that much?"

"If you don't even have trust between partners, how can you cooperate?" Chen Mu Mu Mu said.

"So what if what I've said is true? So what?" Lu Jinfeng asked.

Did this person catch up with Officer Bai?

Chen Mu Mu Mu felt a little helpless as he replied, "Before we become too powerful, I can only admit defeat."

The Shangguan family was so powerful, if Shangguan Bai wanted to harm them, with the current situation, he could just casually stretch out his hand and strangle them.

But she believed that Shangguan Bai would not.

Even if Shangguan Bai knew, this trust would still be worth it if he changed his appearance to that of a friend.

Lu Jinfeng sighed, and said depressingly: "In the end, you're still more willing to believe him."

Pausing for a moment, before Chen Mu Mu flew into a rage, he quickly expressed his attitude, "Then let's head over. Our legs are sore from walking so far."

"You guys wait here, I'll go take a look first." Chen Mu Mu Mu blocked his path, "More people are too eye-catching, just look at my hand signals."

She didn't know if Lu Jinfeng was jealous of her, but her IQ was severely off the line.

Lu Jinfeng glanced at her but did not say a word.

The crowd had always been centered around Chen Mu Mu's words, so Lu Jinfeng did not object, but naturally, no one had any objections.

Thus, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu walked towards the manor's entrance.

He used his hand to knock on the door knocker, but after a while, someone hurried over and opened the door. "Miss, who are you looking for?"

When he saw Chen Mu Mu's appearance, he was once again stunned. "It's you."

The one who opened the door was the most capable servant Rong Ba who was by Shangguan Bai's side. As he often went in and out of the door with Shangguan Bai, he was naturally familiar with her. It was just that her description was a bit awkward and he was unable to recognize her at the moment.

"It's me, Chen Mu Mu." Without wasting any time, Chen Mu Mu Mu asked straightforwardly, "Is your young master in?"

"Young master just got the news and went to the Apricot Rain Village, you should be back soon." The attendant looked strangely at Chen Mu Mu Mu, "Didn't you say that your family was burned to death by a fire last night?"

"However, I am still standing here, so naturally, I am still alive." Chen Mu Mu was amused as he stared at the attendant, "I would like to wait for your young master here, is that alright?"

"Of course you can, Miss Chen. You are Young Noble's friend. Young Noble is very anxious about this matter. He will be very happy to know that you are safe and sound." The servant said as he opened the door wider. "The wind is blowing heavily outside. Let the young lady come in first."

"Wait a minute, there's still someone." As Chen Mu spoke, he waved his hands, "Come here."

Seeing that, Lu Jinfeng and anxiously walked out from the bushes towards the door.

With so many people appearing all of a sudden, the attendant was stunned into speechlessness.

"They are my family and friends. Don't you welcome them?" Chen Mu Mu looked at the attendant with a mischievous smile.

"I don't dare." Although the servant was stunned, he had followed Shangguan Bai for many years and had seen much of the world. Very quickly, he came to his senses and welcomed the few of them into the manor, getting the maidservants to bring them tea and snacks. He said, "Guests, please wait for a moment, I'll go inform my young master. He should be here soon."

"Go."

Although they didn't know why Shangguan Bai would return so soon after leaving home, but the rich families had their own sources of information, so they couldn't ask too many questions.

The maids of the Shangguan family knew their manners, so they served tea and snacks to the servants before retreating, leaving them to wait in the living room.

"The Shangguan residence is even bigger than our house." Chen Ergou looked at his surroundings and exclaimed.

"The richest man in the Linzhou City, naturally has money that we can't compare to." Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled faintly, "However, there's always something wrong with that. Wealthy families have their own troubles, while us poor people have the joys of poor people. There's no need to compare ourselves to each other."

"That's right, we can see the Shangguan Family's glory, but we can't see the chaos in the Shangguan Family." Lu Jinfeng thought back to the time when Shangguan Bai was being tortured by the poison, and his expression became slightly sad. "No need to envy them, actually, we are not in a bad situation now."

The corner of Chen Ergou's mouth twitched: "This kind of life, is pretty good?"

The house had been burnt and most of the property destroyed, and now they were being hunted down and left to run for their lives. That was pretty good too, wasn't it?

"Isn't it good to be alive and have healthy limbs?" Lu Jinfeng retorted, "Don't you think that living a healthy life is more important than anything?"

Chen Ergou choked.

Indeed, nothing is more important than being alive and healthy.

Although he did not know what had happened to the Shangguan Family, looking at the expressions on Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng's faces, even if the Shangguan Family was rich, their lives would not be stable. Compared to living in fear, they were much better off.

However, they were running for their lives right now.

"This dessert is pretty good." Ning Yuan did not participate in the bickering, seeing that there was a pastry on the table, he picked it up and tasted it, after that, he took a few mouthfuls he started to savor it, and after that, he couldn't help but exclaim: "This pastry is soft and smooth, it's truly top quality, I have never tasted it before."

"This is the pastry made by Mu Mu." Madam Li also tasted it and said in surprise, "Little Mu, hasn't your workshop been closed for a long time? Why are there still some pastries sent to Shangguan Family? "

These words sounded strange. Those who didn't know the truth would probably think she was having an affair with Shangguan Bai.

Chen Mu Mu Mu's mouth twitched and said: "Mother, Shangguan Family is the wealthiest in Linzhou, they also specialize in diet, so naturally they have a lot of capable men, the pastries that I make are delicious, but the recipe is also very simple, those cooks could make it after some thought, what's so special about that."

Madam Li was a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean to blame you, it's just that it's a little strange."

Lu Jinfeng felt a little awkward listening to her, and said to the Madam Li: "There are people beyond the mountains, and people far beyond. Although the food made by Mu Mu is very fresh and delicious, but compared to the capable people outside, she only has a slight advantage. Good things will eventually be learned by people, and when those capable people learn it, the unique characteristics of Mu Mu are not something that she has."

"Why are all of you so conflicted? It's fine if you don't have good food or drinks, but if you want to pick and choose, that would be really depressing." Chen Ergou shrugged, picked up a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth, praising, "It's really delicious."

He had just returned to the Apricot Rain Village with Chen Mu Mu. At that time, Chen Mu Mu had already experienced the poison pastries case, and after that case, even if the authorities came out to clarify the matter, his reputation would still be somewhat affected. Chen Mu Mu's small workshop never opened again, so he had never eaten these things before.

After eating the delicious food, he turned around and looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu in surprise. "Little sister, did you really make all of these?"

Just how many more surprises did his little sister have as she stared at him? And how much more did he have towards her?

"It used to be, but now it isn't." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't look sad in the slightest, but instead said with some emotion, "There's always a talent coming out from a place like this. As expected, I only took advantage of the freshness."

It was only because the people of this country hadn't eaten these pastries that she had a market. If she had eaten the food she cooked in the beginning, she would probably still be that skinny little girl in the Apricot Rain Village with a bad cold and wilting illness.

Besides, the cooks here were so powerful that they could only bring out the food for half a month or so before they had eaten her formula. Without her, they would still be able to produce delicious food.

It seemed that she would have to change her mind the next time she went into the food business.

It was everyone's responsibility to fight against piracy. She had to seal off the path of piracy, or else she would suffer a terrible loss as a genuine copy.

After they said that, Rong Ba came in again and said to everyone: "Miss Chen, Young Master Lu, we have already boiled water and prepared clean clothes, and Young Noble is still not back yet, I believe everyone is tired and tired, why not take a bath first, and rest in the guest room for a while?"

"So thoughtful!" Chen Ergou's eyes lit up, and praised, "As expected of someone from a rich family, we can see at a glance what we need."

"It just so happens that I've been busy all night. I really need to take a good rest." Ning Yuan looked at the dirty and smelly clothes on his body, and then stood up.

Madam Li's body was not well at first, but his legs were a little weak. He had been tormenting them all night, and now he was tired and sleepy. After eating some pastries, he felt like he had a good night's sleep, so he did not refuse and said: "Thank you for your help."

Rong Ba clapped his hands, a few servant girls carried their clothes and walked in, one by one to his side.

"Young Master Lu, Lady Chen, Madam Lu, please follow them."

Rong Ba thought it through carefully, and a few of them happily thanked him, and then went on.

Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng were at the back, looking at Rong Ba. After hesitating for a while, they still had yet to take a step forward.

"Does Miss Chen and Young Master Lu have any other orders?" Rong Ba asked politely.
