Everyone present had different thoughts, and the only one who was unhappy was Princess Yongjia.

She spent one hundred thousand taels of silver to take pictures of the delicacies and delivered them to Zhou Mu, but Zhou Mu never even looked at her.

No matter what she said, Zhou Mu didn't answer and treated her like nothing, so what's the point of her paying a sky-high price for this dish?

Because of Zhou Mu's indifference, she regretted that she took a picture of this dish.

Now that she calmed down, she realized that she only brought 60,000 yuan, and all her private money was here, and she also advanced part of it to her mother.

She borrowed the 40,000 taels of silver note from King Zhao, and she had to pay it back after all. How would she tell her mother that she bought a dish for 100,000 taels after returning to the Hou Mansion?

Don't say that other people look at Princess Yongjia with weird eyes, even Zhao Wang, who spends money like water, sighs himself.

Although he is also crazy, he is not as crazy as Princess Yongjia. At most, he only spent 20,000 yuan to take a picture of a dish, which was stimulated by Xu Yanqing.

Princess Yongjia spent a lot of money to bid for the auction today, isn't this the same as giving money to Jixianglou?

After calming down, Zhao Wang calculated carefully and found that he had spent 100,000 taels in the past two days to satisfy his appetite.

His yearly salary and food add up to about 20,000 taels, and when he counts the money received from other properties in a year, the total is about 100,000 taels.

So he spent a whole year's income for a few dishes in these two days?

If Emperor Father knew about this, he might break his leg.

After realizing it later, King Zhao approached Princess Yongjia and said in a low voice, "I will accompany you to get the money later, you can't default on it."

"Can't I pay you back next month?" Princess Yongjia's face was not very good-looking.

"No! I'm short on money, so you can pay me back today, or I'll go with you to see my aunt." Zhao Wang is not a gentleman, and he has no friendship with Princess Yongjia, so naturally he will not back down.

Princess Yongjia looked at the untouched dish, and ordered someone to pack it in a food box, intending to take it back and give it to her mother.

Princess Yongjia was still looking at Zhou Mu before leaving, but Zhou Mu didn't give her a look, which made her very disappointed.

Looking at Gu Xiyan who was standing next to Zhou Mu with a happy face, the more she thought about it, the more she hated it.

If it wasn't for Gu Xiyan's repeated price hikes, why would she suddenly spend one hundred thousand taels on a dish?

As soon as Princess Yongjia and King Zhao were taken advantage of and left, everyone started talking, and the focus of the discussion was on the two who had just left. Everyone thinks that those who have daughters cannot marry King Zhao, and those who have sons cannot marry Princess Yongjia, or they will lose their fortunes sooner or later.

After Gu Xiyan made a fortune, she felt refreshed, and when she calmed down, she finally realized that Zhou Mu was too silent today.

It seems that since she and Princess Yongjia started bidding, Zhou Mu has no sense of existence. He doesn't even realize his existence when he doesn't open his mouth.

At this moment, Su Ho suddenly came over, sat down in the seat of Princess Yongjia just now, and asked her directly: "Just now Miss Gu deliberately raised the price with Yongjia, right?"

Gu Xiyan knew that what she had done was obvious and it was easy to reveal her secrets, but in order to raise enough money, she didn't care too much.

Even if people know that she is the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper of Jixianglou, she is mentally prepared.

Su Ho could see it, and Zhou Mu must have seen it too, so Zhou Mu was quieter than usual just now, maybe he is still waiting to hear her explanation.

"What does it have to do with you?" Gu Xiyan didn't take it seriously, and didn't look Su Ho squarely.

Su Ho looked at Gu Xiyan with a half-smile: "You really did it on purpose. If Princess Yongjia knew that you deliberately tricked her, how do you think she will deal with you?!"

"Miss Su can do whatever she wants, I don't want to say a word to a villain like you." Gu Xiyan took a sip of tea leisurely.

Su Ho laughed when he heard the words, and his meaningful eyes fell on Zhou Mu's face beside him: "Then Miss Gu doesn't care what Mr. Zhou thinks about this matter, how does she think about Miss Gu?"

Zhou Mu suddenly put down the teacup heavily, his expressionless eyes fixed on Su Ho's face.

Seeing Zhou Mu's cold eyes, Su Ho's scalp became numb, and his hands and feet were also cold.

"What are you, dare to point fingers at Xi Yan?! A woman like you who lost her virginity before marriage and has no sense of shame and etiquette, actually has the face to gossip about others?!" Zhou Mu's deep eyes are like a thousand years of cold pool , revealing a bone-biting coldness.

His merciless words immediately made everyone's eyes fall on Su Ho's face.

Everyone's strange eyes made Su Ho feel extremely embarrassed.

The ancient times were no more harsh than modern times, and they were especially harsh on women, and losing their virginity before marriage was even more condemned by thousands of people.

Under the crowd watching, she felt ashamed and angry.

She obviously wanted Zhou Mu to see Gu Xiyan's true face clearly, and it would be best to force Zhou Mu to withdraw from Gu Xiyan's marriage again. Humiliated her in front of many people, embarrassing her.

Xu Yanqing was also watching the excitement, took a peanut shell and threw it at Su Ho.

Seeing this, the others followed suit and threw sundries on Su Ho one after another, forcing Su Ho to flee, and soon disappeared in Jixiang Tower.

As soon as Su Ho, the troublemaker, left, Gu Xiyan began to worry about herself.

Just now Zhou Mu's ruthless words made her tremble with fear, she was afraid that Zhou Mu would accumulate a lot of anger and focus the firepower on her later.

Zhou Mu got up at this moment, glanced at Gu Xiyan and said, "It's getting late, come home with me."

Gu Xiyan didn't dare to object, and followed Zhou Mu down the second floor obediently.

Seeing the scene of her following Zhou Mu like a little daughter-in-law, Xu Yanqing and Dong Yong sighed at the same time.

The two looked at each other, and then looked away in disgust.

On the other side, Gu Xiyan followed Zhou Mu into the carriage, and took the initiative to talk: "How about I make a delicacy for the young master? My cooking is also delicious, not worse than Jixianglou."

"What's your relationship with shopkeeper Wu, why do you help him like this?" Zhou Mu's faint eyes fell on Gu Xiyan's soft and beautiful profile.

Gu Xiyan blinked her eyelashes, thinking to herself, how could he be sure that she was helping Wu Tong, not Wu Tong helping her?

Of course, she didn't dare to talk poorly in front of Zhou Mu.

"With your temperament, you will never fight to the death with Princess Yongjia for a dish. It is just an excuse for you to bid for that dish for me. The purpose is to anger Princess Yongjia, let her help you raise the price, and finally stimulate She spent 100,000 taels to order a dish." Zhou Mu said again in a low voice.

He didn't have a harsh tone, but it just made Gu Xiyan's heart tense.

"It is clear that she said that she has taken a fancy to the young master, and said that she would ask His Majesty to give her a marriage to be his wife. I got angry when I heard that, so I decided to teach her a little lesson in this way." Gu Xiyan said, raising her head He stood up and told Zhou Mu that he was not guilty at all.

As for helping Wu Tong, this matter is not true, because Wu Tong is helping her.

Zhou Mu didn't expect such a thing to happen, the chill on his body dissipated, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Are you jealous, girl?"
