The words were beautiful and very comfortable to hear.

Chen Mu Mu didn't refute her, he only laughed, "No rush, we just returned and haven't even sat down yet. Don't go cause trouble."

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you will be able to win a hundred battles.

But that Tang Xiaomo had destroyed her painstaking effort in Wang Jiang Lou, and even fiercely bullied her little partner, she still didn't really understand him that well.

If they rushed forward without understanding the enemy's strength, they would be completely annihilated.

She had just returned to the capital, Chen Qingyun and the rest had just slipped out of the prison and were all exhausted, so it was not the right time to settle the score now.

No matter how angry he was, he had to endure the internal injuries.

It wouldn't be too late for a gentleman to exact vengeance, as she, Chen Mu Mu, had plenty of patience.

Feng Lingxi looked at her strangely, "I thought you were very angry."

"No, I just know my own limits." Chen Mu Mu smiled, "The main thing is, I don't want to die yet."

Therefore, she would not go and settle things with Tang Xiaomo now.

Calculating was something only capable people could do.

What right did she have to fight with the Tang Clan?

Tang Xiaomo, the precious son of the Tang family and the favorite nephew of the empress dowager, domineering like the wind and rain.

As for her, a commoner, she might not even be able to afford to buy the killer's money, let alone any kind of influence.

What right did he have to fight with her?

It was not exaggerated to say that Tang Xiaomo could kill her and her friends with a wave of his hand.

"Then let that bastard go for now." Although Feng Lingxiu did not agree with her actions, Chen Mu had already made up her mind. It was not good for her to overstep her authority and help him, so she could only compromise.

However …

Feng Ling Xi patted Chen Mu Mu Mu's shoulder, "One day, the humiliation that the Tang Clan will give me, we will definitely get it back."

Chen Mu smiled as he replied, "I will."

No wonder.

In this world, it was almost the Tang Family's territory. Unless the little Emperor fell, the Empress Dowager Tang was still the most powerful person in the imperial court.

As for the Tang family, as the empress dowager's parents, if the empress dowager didn't fall, the Tang family wouldn't be able to fall …

As a woman, the power of one's family was very important.

Whether it was for her or for the little emperor, the empress dowager would never allow anyone to touch the Tang Clan's foundation.

He did not know if Tang Xiaomo could be considered to be the Tang Clan's foundation.

The restaurant was smashed, and the front part of the backyard was a mess, Chen Qingyun and the rest were still cleaning up, hearing the footsteps, they turned around, and immediately became happy.

Little Mao was the first to leave Ning Yuan and rush over, grabbing Chen Mu Mu Mu's arm. Ning Yuan smiled back. Chen Qingyun's eyes shyly looked at Feng Ling Xi, who was standing helplessly on the side.

Rong Rongliu's eyes lit up, as if he had seen gold. "Didn't you say that you need to go out because you're coming back so quickly?"

"It's done." Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't bear to look straight into the eyes of the other party and shifted his gaze away.

The backyard was in a state of collapse. Dust and bricks littered the ground, occupying all the roads under their feet. Looking at the four drafty walls, even though it was early summer, the summer wind still blew in, bringing about a lot of bleakness.

Especially after nightfall, the temperature would become even colder. If a night's wind blew at them, they would definitely be ill.

Chen Mu Mu sighed, "Seems like there's no way for me to live here anymore."

"There's no way to live here in the first place." Rong Rongliu retorted, "We've been cleaning up for half a day now, but we still haven't managed to clean up a single room. Furthermore, look at the ventilation coming from all sides, if it were to rain at night, we would all be in trouble."

The environment was rather simple, but …

"Why don't you stay in an inn?" Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu's gaze swept across the scattered bags on the ground as he asked.

"No money." Rong Rongliu rolled his eyes at her, "If we had the money, would we need to clean up this crappy place?"

"You guys don't have any money?" Without waiting for Chen Mu Mu to speak, Feng Ling Xi was the first to speak, "Didn't they say that a few days ago, when the Wang Jiang Lou was opened, you went all out to earn money?"

"Rumor has it that it's exaggerated." Chen Qingyun laughed bitterly, "We do have a few hundred silver, but not that much. When the new restaurant opens, we will need to spend it everywhere, not to mention that the money is not in our hands right now."

Hearing Chen Qingyun say that the money was not in their hands, Chen Mu and Feng Ling Xi were startled for a moment.

"Where did the money go?"

"At that time, Young Master Tang came to the restaurant to cause trouble, causing a huge ruckus. Then, people from the government came. We didn't even make any preparations and were taken away by the officials." Ning Yuan answered, with a helpless look in his eyes, "Of course I didn't bring anything when I went to jail. When I came back, there wasn't even a single valuable thing left in the restaurant."

"Including the silver." Rong Rongliu added, his eyes filled with hatred, "The people of the Tang Clan and the officials have all embezzled our money."

Chen Mu Mu was speechless.

She had already forgotten about that. She wanted to rob her family and all the money she had received.

So sealing the Wang Jiang Lou was not like there were no benefits to be gained from it.

Therefore, the authorities had teamed up with Tang Xiaomo and eaten all the profit she had earned from her entrance into the account.

Originally, investing several thousand taels of silver had nearly used up all of her wealth. But now, the profits she earned had even been eaten up by others.

That meant that she … He had lost five thousand taels of silver, as well as a large amount of manpower and resources.

Chen Mu bit his lips and laughed coldly.

This Tang Xiaomo was really brave, putting his hands on her head, did he really think she was easy to bully?

However, so far, none of those who had bullied her had survived.

"Then right now, aren't you all so poor that you can't even eat?" Feng Ling's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Chen Mu Mu's train of thoughts.

Chen Qingyun's face was slightly red, he nodded his head awkwardly, "You can say that."

Ning Yuan was also a little embarrassed as he stood at the side without uttering a word.

"Chen Mu Mu." Rong Rongliu looked at Chen Mu Mu, his eyes flashing gold light as he looked at the rich, "Right now we are as poor as a pauper, not only do we have to starve, we also have to sleep on the streets. As the owner of Wang Jiang Lou, you tell me what to do, as for the restaurant, how can it be as it is today, you have to take responsibility for us."

Now that I think about it, she's the boss?

"You're asking me, but who should I ask?" Chen Mu Mu snorted, "This restaurant is half your responsibility. I made some preparations earlier, but it hasn't even opened yet, so who didn't wait for me to come back before opening it? It's fine if you just open it, but if you earn money, as a shopkeeper, you should know to hide it well and let others steal it. As a formation master, you can't even hide a single coin. "

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "You see how much effort I've put into this restaurant, and you know how much money I have with me. Now that my money has been used up by you, what can I do?"

She did not blame these people for opening the Wang Jiang Lou without waiting for her return. After all, her life and death was uncertain, and living people still needed to eat. In fact, after the restaurant opened, the amount of money that came in daily was indeed considerable. If not for Tang Xiaomo's disturbance, the Wang Jiang Lou would have become a special feature of the capital, becoming more and more rich every day.

What made her depressed was that even though these people couldn't do anything good, they still relied on her.

What kind of money could she have? Even if she had the money, was she the most responsible person after the restaurant was destroyed?

Don't forget, ten years from now, who is the owner of this restaurant?

He couldn't bear all the risks, but he was diligent in his life. Who gave him face?

"This …" Being scolded by Chen Mu Mu, Rong Rongliu's face stiffened and his expression became slightly aggrieved, "At that time, I did not know that Tang Xiaomo would cause trouble. The restaurant had only just opened and he was spending money everywhere.

After that, he no longer had the chance to hide.

"What about your formation ability?" Chen Mu scoffed, "Setting up a small formation at the place where the money is kept, if others can't find it, you won't lose any money. Are you going to starve now?"

Rong Rongliu, "... I forgot. "

"Serves you right for starving." Chen Mu glanced at him, too lazy to bother with him.

Chen Mu Mu and Rong Rongliu's conversation with the other people did not escape from the ears of the others, and in that moment, everyone turned to look at Rong Rongliu.

That's right, it was an accident that the restaurant was smashed.

But wasn't Rong Rongliu responsible for the security of the restaurant?

They were so poor that they had nothing on them, and it had nothing to do with Manager Rong Rongliu?

Rong Rongliu secretly complained, wanting to refute a few words for himself. Facing Chen Mu Mu's gaze, he lowered his head.

Alright, since Chen Mu Mu Mu wasn't at home, he was the owner of the restaurant. It was indeed a mistake for the owner to look down on his personal belongings.

"I'll definitely pay attention to setting up a formation next time. I won't let this happen again."

Rong Rongliu reflected on it for a while and promised Chen Mu resolutely.

"You want a next time?" Chen Mu smirked. "I don't have that much money."

Rong Rongliu, "... But you're the boss. "

It was a must to be in charge of food and clothing for his subordinates, right?

"My money is all in my Wang Jiang Lou. Besides, I'm just a weak girl, where can I find so much money in a short time?" Chen Mu Mu's hands spread out as he said, "I'm also poor, so you should think of a solution yourself."

Rong Rongliu shut his mouth silently and turned to squat in the corner.

She had no money, and he had even less.

The atmosphere was depressing. Feng Lingxi coughed and said, "Since you don't have a place to stay, why don't you stay at my general's manor for a few days?"

General's Estate?

The gazes of the crowd turned to Chen Mu Mu Mu.

It's a pretty good place. It's just a place to eat and live.

Chen Mu Mu shook his head, "The first time I met General Wei Yuan, he was covered in blood and carried a head of a beast."

Looking over the crowd, she smiled faintly. "The second time I saw General Wei Yuan was at the general's manor. He had the aura of a man from the battlefield. Just every step he took caused her to almost kneel down."

Her words were very reserved, but they revealed a message —

Although the general's residence was good, Feng Zizai was a general who would kill without blinking an eye!

Carrying people onto the street, the mansion was filled with killing intent. If commoners like them were to live in there, how many days would they be able to do so?

Chen Qingyun was instantly terrified: "Thank you Young Miss Feng for your good intentions, although this place is dilapidated, let's tidy it up a bit, we can still find someone to stay here."

Rong Liu laughed, "Young Miss Feng, I love my family. I can't sleep at another place, I appreciate your kindness."

Ning Yuan also frowned, and rejected her with a slow voice: "We are all rude men, it is inconvenient for us to enter the general's mansion, thank you miss for your love."

Feng Lingxi: "…"

Didn't they say that she invited them to the General's Estate because they had no money to eat and sleep?

Rejected so quickly? What do you mean by that?
