"You can think like this. If I say I will leave or stay, you can decide for yourself." Chen Mu Mu's expression remained the same. "If you want to stay, you can avoid me. But if you want to leave with me, with my bad temper, you have to endure it."

"I'm used to it." Chen Ergou was helpless, "If one day you suddenly say something nice to me, I will be overwhelmed by it, and feel terrified."

Was this meant to be numbed by her words?

Chen Mu smiled. "I wouldn't go against anyone for no reason. You would be the one fighting me for the right. This only means that what you've done is wrong and you've pissed me off."

Chen Ergou remained silent for a while, then said: "If you see me and feel unwell, even if I did not do anything wrong?"

"Then why don't you think about why I feel displeased with you?" Chen Mu glanced at him. "What's more, I can see that you're already so unhappy. There's no point in following me."

"You want to chase me away? How is that possible!" Chen Ergou snorted, "I am your big brother, I made an oath to protect you, how can I let you leave alone!"

As if to slap his face, a ruckus came from his stomach as his voice faded away.

Chen Ergou's expression changed, he held his stomach and looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu warily: "I need to go to the toilet, you are not allowed to leave, wait for me."

It was probably because his stomach was making a huge ruckus. He didn't have time to see Chen Mu Mu Mu's expression or hear her reply, so he covered his stomach and ran towards the toilet.

"What a silly child." Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head and sighed before walking down the stairs.

"The guest is leaving?" The storekeeper hurried over with a face full of hesitation. "Yesterday, those people came to our inn to make trouble, but they destroyed quite a few things. If you want to leave, you must pay for those compensation."

Destroying other people's things was a matter of course.

Chen Mu Mu thought about how much Lu Jinfeng had left and nodded: "Calculate for me how much silver is in total, and also give them an extra ten days' worth of money."

After all, they had been together for so long. Even though Madam Li was unrighteous, she and Lu Jinfeng had honestly helped her quite a bit. In other words, if Madam Li and Lu Jinfeng had ignored her at that time, and allowed her to fend for herself, she probably wouldn't be as strong as Chen Mu today.

As a person, she still had to be grateful. She couldn't help him with such a big favor, so she couldn't fuss over such a small favor.

The shopkeeper was startled, and his gaze became strange. "Lady won't stay with them?"

Chen Mu Mu lifted his eyes, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.

The shopkeeper was perplexed as he looked away, "I spoke too much. Miss, please wait for a moment. Let me calculate a bit."

"No need." Chen Mu Mu placed two silver notes on the counter. "As for the rest, just give them to the man who came with me."

A glint flashed through the shopkeeper's eyes, but he did not ask any further questions. He nodded, "I will definitely do as you ask."

Chen Mu Mu immediately turned around and walked out of the room.

It was true that there were some who were greedy when it came to opening doors to do business, but it was likely that he wouldn't be able to get his hands on this money even if he wanted to.

Lu Jinfeng and Madam Li were smart, they would definitely come to find him.

The sun had risen. There were a lot of pedestrians under the feet of the Son of Heaven. Most of them were heading towards the capital.

Chen Mu ate a bowl of Chaos beside the road and bought some snacks to eat on the way. Then, he followed the majority of the people who had entered the capital and set out on their journey.

Because the walking speed was not fast, it only took them an incense stick of time to catch up with the people behind them.

"Little sister, you don't keep your promise. Didn't you say you would bring me with you?" Chen Ergou's face was filled with resentment.

"Aren't you catching up? I'm a girl, and my hands are short and my legs are short. I can't run fast, so naturally, I have to fly stupid birds to find Lurin first. " Chen Mu said.

Chen Ergou choked, "You always make the most sense."

Chen Mu Mu laughed, and did not continue the argument. His eyes moved as he looked at the person at Chen Ergou's side, "Why, are you coming with me as well? This is out of my expectations. "

Lin Mo rubbed his nose: "It's within your expectations, this old man didn't think of going with you, I only caught up to you to say a few words."

"In other words, I'm not trying to keep him here anymore?" Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled faintly.

"It's already so noisy, if I urge you to come down, it will only embarrass you." Lin Mo spread out his hands, and something flashed past his eyes, and said meaningfully, "One must learn to endure, because on impulse, there will be times where one will regret for the rest of their life."

"There are some things you can endure. Some things you absolutely cannot get involved with." Chen Mu smirked, "Didn't you tell me that?"

Lin Mo's eyes quickly turned, his fingers forming fists as he lightly coughed twice, and said: "You're thinking too much."

"We both know that you're thinking too much." Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at him indifferently, "But no matter what your goal is, I'm not interested right now. So don't worry, I didn't plan on causing trouble for you."

Lin Mo said as her eyes grew deep, "With these words of yours, I can rest easy. "Girl, you should be someone who keeps her promise."

"That depends on who it is." Chen Mu Mu smiled faintly.

Lin Mo looked at her, his entire body shivering, "In that case, you're still unreliable."

"I am a merchant, and I only do things that are beneficial to me. Things that are harmful to me, if I see them, I must intervene." Chen Mu said.

Lin Mo muttered to himself slightly: "It's beneficial to you, but it depends on what you think."

Chen Mu Mu gave a noncommittal reply before replying, "I'll be hurrying into the city soon. If you've specially come over to say these words to me, then hurry up and leave, don't delay my journey."

"Lu Jinfeng did not come to ask us to stay. Are you sad?" Lin Mo looked at her and suddenly said.

"I'm not sad." Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyelashes trembled as she smiled, "Your attitude is also his."

Lin Mo already knew that the Madam Li had started a fight with her, how could Lu Jinfeng not know.

However, he knew that he didn't say a single word to stop her …

In his heart, the Madam Li was still more important.

A cold glint flashed through Chen Mu Mu's eyes.

Some things could not be forced upon. She did have hopes for him, but his attitude was truly chilling.

If he protected the Madam Li that much, he wouldn't even care if he didn't take this person.

Lin Mo did not say anything, and only said after a long while: "We will not be entering the city for a short period of time, you need to take care of yourself in the capital."

"You don't need to say it, I definitely won't let myself down." Chen Mu said, his gaze sweeping Lin Mo's body a few times, then he paused: "You should have silver on you, right?"

Lin Mo's face immediately turned strange: I said no, will you give it to me?

"You don't look like a poor man." Chen Mu chuckled, "How much you give them depends on your attitude towards them. Of course, if you cry poor, I can still give you three hundred silver taels."

"Only three hundred taels?"

"Too little?" Chen Mu smirked. "Including the two hundred taels I gave the shopkeeper, I already have five hundred taels. I only have eight hundred taels of silver from head to toe."

She looked at Lin Mo with a somewhat mocking gaze, "In Xingyu Village, one tael of silver is already a sky-high price, are you still not satisfied with five hundred taels?"

She had given most of her wealth to Lu Jinfeng and her son.

"You don't only have eight hundred silver, do you?" Lin Mo said.

"There's more, Shangguan Bai gave it to me." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't hide anything and denied it, "But this money is Shangguan Bai's money, why should I give it to you? Although Lu Jinfeng and the rest have done some business with me and should be given a share, but five hundred silver can ensure that they will live without worries for a few more lifetimes. I am not your God of Fortune, so I can buy as much as you want. "

"So cold." Lin Mo said emotionally, "If that stinking brat knew that you had calculated everything so clearly, he would probably be heartbroken."

"This has nothing to do with me." Chen Mu Mu took out a purse from his bosom and extracted three banknotes worth a hundred taels of silver. "Here, take this."

Anyone who could use money to calculate the debt clearly wasn't a bad person.

She wasn't afraid of lacking money, she was only afraid of owing money to others.

If she could draw a clear line between herself and this family with a few hundred silver, she was naturally willing.

Lin Mo received the banknotes, his eyes twinkling, and said: "Outside, all the money must be spent. How can a woman use so much silver, I want seven hundred and fifty silver from you."

Chen Mu Mu's expression turned cold, "I only have 800 taels of silver in my secret stash. Since you took 750 taels, what should I do?"

She still needed to do business, or else she would be broke sooner or later.

However, in the business world, one had to have capital.

Lin Mo's attack was a little desperate.

Lin Mo did not care about her cold expression, he only looked at her and asked: "I only ask you, do you want to give me this money or not?"

Chen Mu took a deep breath and took out fifty silver taels from his pocket, tossing it over to the others.

"There's only this much left. Do you want to take it or not?"

"You're a good boy." Lin Mo put away his bag and said with a smile.

"Just don't bother me in the future." Chen Mu Mu rubbed his glabella before turning around and walking away. "After you get what you want, hurry up and f * ck off. If you keep swaying in front of me, my eyes will only hurt a few more times."

"Is it that serious?" Lin Mo looked at her meaningfully, "I will remember your words. In the future, we will definitely not bother you."

"Hurry up and get lost!" Chen Mu glanced at him, and quickly left with Chen Ergou.

Lin Mo did not catch up this time. From time to time, he turned his head to look, feeling somewhat depressed and indignant.

"Little sister, why didn't you let me teach him a lesson just now? This family is going too far! "

Chen Mu Mu Mu's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say. He only curled his lips, looked at Chen Ergou, and coldly said: "I told you to teach him a lesson, how could you beat him?"

Chen Ergou, who was looked down upon by Guo Guo, choked back, "If we can't beat him, and scold him a little, it's good that he's worried."

"There's no need." It was unknown what he was thinking about, but Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu's smile was tinged with mockery. "A schemer is too smart, and when one is smart, one is often misled. There are some things that can't necessarily be done according to his plan."

Chen Ergou looked a little confused: "Little sister, who do you think is smart? What kind of scheme is this? Was it because of you falling out with Mother and the rest? "
