Ning Yuan chuckled, and looked at her: "As expected, you're still very worried about him."
Chen Mu Mu curled his lips, "I've never said I'm not worried about him."
Although she and Lu Jinfeng were enemies, but their relationship was still there. It was impossible to say that she wasn't worried about him at all.
Ning Yuan looked at her thoughtfully for a while: "If that's the case, then why didn't I stay by his side? He should need you. "
"He doesn't need it." Chen Mu rejected it without a second thought.
"He needs it." Ning Yuan stared at her without blinking, "You know it very well."
"But he pushed me out." A hint of disappointment flashed past his eyes, "I have never wanted to do something so annoying."
"The one who chased you away was the Madam Li." Ning Yuan hesitated slightly before persuading, "If you really want to be together, that is your problem. How can you allow others' evil words to hurt your feelings? Madam Li was wrong, but Lu Jinfeng treats you very well. "
Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled and also took a sip of the cold tea on the table: "Ning Yuan, I treat them very well."
She had always understood her own value, and it was true that the Lu Family treated her very well. If not for Madam Li and Lu Jinfeng, she wouldn't be where she was today.
But at the same time, she was also good to them, if she did not support this family, then Lu Jinfeng would have died of an illness, and with Madam Li's weak body, coupled with the pain of her death, she would not be able to live until now.
It was not that they owed her much, nor that she owed them much, but that they had always supported each other.
This reciprocity required both sides to work hard. Since the Madam Li had lost their head, this reciprocity no longer existed and there was no need to exist.
Ning Yuan frowned, as if he didn't quite understand her actions. "If you really like one person, you shouldn't fuss about it so much."
"If you don't mind it at all, then this relationship is not sincere enough." Chen Mu raised his lips, "Ning Yuan, you have also had two sincere feelings, you should understand that feelings are not only a matter of two people, it is also not a matter of one person, if you are too persistent, it will be very tiring."
Ning Yuan was startled, his mouth opened, but no words came out.
Chen Mu took another sip of his cold tea, suppressing the agitation in his heart as he lightly said, "Just like now, it's quite good. Bridge to bridge, road to road, he walks his own path, I walk my own path, we will take our separate ways."
"You will regret it." Ning Yuan muttered to himself for a while, and said with a deeper meaning, "If you miss him, you will definitely regret it."
"No regrets." Chen Mu placed the teacup on the table as a cold light flitted across his eyes. "Such a useless man, it's fine if you don't want him. I don't ask for much, but I can't even protect you. What's the point of me being with him?"
Ning Yuan was speechless, and so was Chen Qingyun.
After a long while, Ning Yuan shook his head: "Your matters are unclear, and I am too lazy to meddle in your matters. However, Chen Mu Mu Mu, since you don't want to get involved with them, why do you want me to protect them?"
"You do not need to enter the North King Palace." Chen Mu Mu's eyes flashed with a strange light as her red lips pursed. "It's fine as long as he doesn't die."
Ning Yuan was speechless. "I'm on the outskirts, and sometimes I don't even know if he's dead or not."
Although his words were unpleasant to hear, it was still a reasoning.
Chen Mu immediately scolded: "Don't worry, with Lin Mo, that old cunning fox, before Lu Jinfeng reaches his goal, Lin Mo will definitely not let him die."
Furthermore, all along the way, she had a feeling that someone was protecting them in secret. It was just like how Shen Tianba had wanted to kidnap Madam Li and use him as bait to lure her out, but was saved by the mysterious person.
Although the mysterious man did not know where he came from, he should not be able to see Lu Jinfeng and Madam Li getting injured.
With them here, maybe Lu Jinfeng and the Madam Li would be even safer than her.
Ning Yuan also thought of something, but hearing Chen Mu Mu's words, he sighed: "I'm working for you, so I'll naturally follow your wishes. If you don't want me to enter the North King Palace, then I won't go."
Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head, "That's not the reason. You still have a burden, if you recklessly enter that deep pond in the North King Palace, you might not be able to escape unscathed."
If Ning Yuan was alone, it didn't matter if he was dead or injured. But Ning Yuan still had a son, so she couldn't possibly let him take the risk. Otherwise, when that devilish brat grew up, he would not know how to hate her.
She had only made Ning Yuan protect them, she did not make Ning Yuan pay with his life for them.
Ning Yuan's thoughts were also exquisite, after thinking about it for a moment, he understood Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu's thoughts, and felt grateful to Chen Mu as he said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Chen Mu thought about it and sighed, "Forget it, you don't have to watch the North King Palace anymore. In any case, Lu Jinfeng and Madam Li have already gone to the North King Palace to enjoy their fortune, and are not related to us anymore. The reason I came to the capital was to do business, you can stay by our side and help me take care of my business."
Ning Yuan found it funny. "How can you use a cow-blade to kill a chicken? Let me run errands for you.
"Even if you don't have any small materials, you still have to use big materials." Chen Mu Mu disapproved, "Besides, he didn't use a chicken cleaver, and he doesn't even use a cow cleaver. Could it be that we'll just wait for him to rust and then discard him?"
The corner of his mouth twitched, but Chen Mu's words made sense. He was a little depressed in his heart, but he could only nod his head: "I'll open a room on the second floor for you guys. If you have anything to do, then we can look out for each other."
After saying a few more words, Ning Yuan went downstairs.
Chen Qingyun's gaze was a little strange, he looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu and was about to say something, but then stopped himself.
Chen Mu cast a sidelong glance at him. "If you have something to say, then speak. If you don't, then I'll rest."
Chen Qingyun held back for a while, but in the end, she still shook her head: "I won't say anymore, it'll save you from getting annoyed."
"Then let's not talk about it." If it was bad for her, she would rather not listen.
"Go back and rest early. I'm here to do business. Tomorrow, you'll have to come with me to the street to look for a shop."
"Alright."
In the next few days, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu, Chen Qingyun and the rest were busy looking for a shop in the capital.
The capital was bustling with activity, and every inch of land was worth of money. Wanting to cause trouble here was even harder than ascending to the heavens.
After a few days, he still did not say anything. After meeting Qin Tianliang by chance, Qin Tianshui knew of their situation and immediately patted his chest.
"Leave this to me."
She then asked with a smile, "Do you want me to pay for the shop and you guys can take care of it? At that time, no matter how much money we earn, we'll get five apiece and split it? "
If that was the case, then it would be very exciting to talk about. After all, Qin Tianshui's identity was there. The imperial city was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. If one was not careful, they would offend some important figures. Without a backer, it would be very difficult to maintain their business.
Furthermore, Qin Tiansei was responsible for finding shops and investing in them. This meant that he had saved them a lot of effort and money.
They are poor people and they need it.
However, after some thought, Chen Mu Mu Mu still refused, "I want to do my own business. If Your Highness wishes to do business, I can help you in the future."
Qin Tianshui was an alluring backer, but Qin Tianshui was not an easy person to deal with. She only wanted to make money in her business, not cause trouble. If she had a part in Qin Tianshui's business, then in the future, when the business was stable, Qin Tianshui would have half the power to decide.
It wasn't a big deal if she divided the money while sitting, but it was easy to brag about a place like a restaurant. If Qin Tianli were to use it as a place to gather intelligence, she wouldn't even have a place to cry. Also, Qin Tianshui wasn't willing to be mediocre. If he rebelled or something like that, the business that was related to him would definitely be finished.
Comparing the pros and cons, it was better to refuse.
Her own business was slow, but it was reassuring.
Besides, she didn't want to work for anyone. She would be stuck with others for the rest of her life.
Especially that restrained person, was Qin Tianshui.
She was just a simple businessman. She didn't want to get involved in things that were too complicated.
Qin Tianshui never expected that she would refuse his cooperation with her. His expression was extremely wonderful as he said, "Chen Mu Mu Mu, I wonder how many people in the past would want to cooperate with this king, but you actually rejected me!? You must know that it's rare for This King to let go of something like this. If you miss this village, you won't have this store.
"I've thought it through." Chen Mu Mu smiled and said, "If Your Highness is willing to help me look for the shop, I would be extremely grateful. But if Your Highness is unwilling, we have the patience to slowly look for him."
He just didn't want to follow him, right? Qin Tiansei glanced at her with a hint of grief in his eyes. "I wonder what sort of heaven angering thing this duke has done to make you reject me like I'm going to eat all of you."
Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled but didn't say anything.
Qin Tianshui could not eat people, but he could eat people to the point where not even their bones remained.
Qin Tiansei looked at her smile helplessly. "Forget it, just treat it as if This King owed you in his previous life. Even if I don't cooperate, This King will help you out."
"Then I thank you, your highness." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
Actually, she did not have much confidence in the shop that Qin Tiansei had found for her. Qin Tiansei's personality was a little strong, and she was really afraid that there would be any potential problems with the score that Qin Tiansei had given her. Therefore, although she had agreed to ask him for help, she still brought Chen Ergou and Ning Yuan the father and son pair to look for a shop in the capital city.
Of course … Still couldn't find it.
In this land where every inch of land was worth money, business was not doing well, so how could there be any easy transfers? Even if there were shops to sell, it was still an extremely remote place with bad feng shui, poor flow of people, and poor business.
Everyone said that the wine wasn't afraid of the alleyway being deep, and this was just a bluff. Although the wine was good, it was hidden deep within the alleyway and he didn't know how many customers he had missed.
Naturally, Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't want such a shop.
As a result, another few days passed.
Although she did not achieve anything, Qin Tiansei had news. He came over with a land deed with a smile, and said with a look of taking credit, "I have brought you good news. You will definitely be satisfied with this shop."
Satisfied? She wanted to find a shop that had good feng shui and a crowded golden area. Did he have one?
Chen Mu Mu snorted as he turned his head to look at the land deed in his hands, only to be stunned by what he saw.
