Chapter 86 Hunter, Prey

  Wan Qinghou looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, his eyes were dark: "The world is unpredictable, and His Royal Highness King Qin may not be the final winner. Mother, don't ask any more questions. After a while, mother will understand the painstaking efforts of her son."

  The old lady didn't dare to ask any more questions.

  Since the son has spoken, it only shows that Gu Xiyan really has some skills.

  The mother and daughter of the little Gu family rushed back to Manfang Garden angrily, Liu Junyan's eyes were slightly red, "Mother, can my daughter only suffer from being dumb today? Now everyone in the Hou family is watching the jokes between mother and daughter."

  She is not reconciled, even her father speaks for Gu Xiyan.

  Obviously she is the father's biological daughter, how can the father protect an outsider?

   "Your father wants to protect her, what can I do? Not only your father, but even your grandmother is also protecting her. I couldn't see before that she is actually capable." Little Gu gritted her teeth in hatred.

  If she had known this, she shouldn't have taken in Gu Xiyan because of her love for her sister. If not, he wouldn't let his own daughter get hurt today.

   "I will definitely not make it easy for her." Liu Junyan said suddenly.

   "Son, don't be stupid. Your father opened his mouth. If you continue to embarrass her, it will only make your father unhappy." Little Gu was afraid that her precious daughter would do something demented.

Liu Junyan's eyes flickered slightly: "Even if the father doesn't want to drive my sister away, isn't my sister still my mother's daughter? My sister is not young, and people of this age are usually married. My sister was divorced by His Royal Highness Qin, and her reputation is not good. For the sake of my sister, shouldn't my mother find a marriage for her as soon as possible and marry her off as soon as possible?"

  Little Gu Shi was facing Liu Junyan's bright eyes, and immediately understood.

  My daughter is asking her to marry Gu Xi as soon as possible, no matter what kind of person the other party is. In order to prevent outsiders from saying anything, she only needs to pick some wealthy families to talk about marriage.

  If this is the case, it's easy to handle.

  Little Gu and Liu Junyan looked at each other, the mother and daughter had only one thought in their minds, that is to marry off Gu Xiyan, a scourge, and their family would be peaceful.

   On the other side, after Zhou Mu heard the news that the land in the southern suburbs had been sold, he checked the update records and found out that the buyer was Rong Song.

  Reminiscent of the scene when he ran into Rong Song at the door of his house, for some reason he remembered the person in the carriage at that time.

  He didn't see who was in the carriage, but the incense that that person dyed left a deep impression on him.

  After that, he deliberately checked Rong Song's current residence, which is the Four Seas Inn on Tianhe Road, which surprised him a bit.

   Since Rong Song has the money to buy the 2,000-acre wasteland in the southern suburbs, but doesn't have the money to rent a house to live in?

  His impression of Rong Song is still the same as before, he only knows that he is an unruly noble son. At that time, Rong Song was still the fourth son of the Rong family, not the down-and-out Rong Song.

  After the land in the southern suburbs was sold, it became the biggest topic in the capital, and the people in the city were discussing that this cursed land was finally sold.

  Many people are asking who bought this land.

  Zhou Mu passed by the busy city in a carriage, and heard passers-by discussing why some people dared to spend thousands of taels to buy this land without fear of death.

  Most people still think this land is unlucky.

   "What are you thinking, young master?" Qi Zhiyuan asked curiously seeing that Zhou Mu was silent.

"Last time, I said that we should pay attention to the next major event in the capital. The sale of the land in the southern suburbs is indeed a major event. Will it be related to that person last time?" Zhou Mu's eyes darkened .

  Qi Zhiyuan couldn't figure out who "that person" was for a while.

   "Who is the young master talking about?" Qi Zhiyuan was confused.

   Zhou Mu lifted the curtain, as if saying to himself: "Last time, I should see who is that person in the carriage."

  Qi Zhiyuan's curiosity was aroused: "Young Master, I'm talking about that person..."

   "Have you forgotten the charcoal incident?" Zhou Mu was quite helpless.

  Qi Zhiyuan's eyes lit up: "Young master thinks that the buyer of the land in the southern suburbs is the one behind the charcoal incident?!"

   After a while, he felt something was wrong again: "No, the buyer of the wasteland in the southern suburbs is Rong Song. Didn't Rong Song just arrive in the capital? How could he be the beneficiary of the charcoal incident?"

  Zhou Mu had her own thoughts: "It's just my intuition."

  There was a curtain that day, and his intuition made him want to see who was in the carriage, but he couldn't forcefully lift the curtain to see who was in the carriage when he heard the voice of a woman at that time, because it was not suitable for etiquette.

  Knowing that Rong Song was the buyer of the land, he should have forcibly lifted the curtain to see who was sitting in the carriage.

   "Young master's intuition has always been very accurate." Qi Zhiyuan felt that there was no doubt about this.

  Zhou Mu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Cross the road, go to Tianhe Street."

   "Young master, is he going home?" Qi Zhiyuan was a little surprised.

   "The Four Seas Inn is also on Tianhe Street, I want to meet you for a while." Zhou Mu put down the curtain and made a decision.

  The carriage went to the Four Seas Inn on Tianhe Street.

  Sihai Inn is less crowded at this time, and the shopkeeper is dozing off. When someone taps on the table, he opens his eyes and sees a stunning man in a scarlet official robe.

  All these years when he was running an inn in the capital, he had seen all kinds of people, and he had never seen a man with such an outstanding appearance.

  He looked at Zhou Mu with dull eyes, and he didn't recover for a while.

   "Is my son good-looking?" Qi Zhiyuan joked aside.

   It is no wonder that the shopkeeper is dumbfounded. He has served the young master for so many years, and occasionally he will be fascinated by the young master's face.

  Young master, this skin is really good.

  The shopkeeper nodded again and again: "It's very good-looking, I've never seen anyone more beautiful than the young master!"

  Zhou Mudan glanced at the shopkeeper and asked, "Is there a guest named Rong Song living in the inn? Which room does he live in? Take me to see him."

  The shopkeeper knew that this good-looking man was a high-ranking official, so he didn't dare to neglect him. He was very impressed with Rong Song, because he was also a very handsome young man.

   "Mr. Rong lives in a herringbone guest room, but Mr. Rong is not in the inn at the moment because he can't see the beginning and the end." The shopkeeper knows the guests in the store like the back of his hand.

  Zhou Mu heard the key point of "Shenlong sees the head but doesn't see the tail", thoughtfully: "You mean Rong Song doesn't live in the inn?"

  The shopkeeper retorted: "Mr. Rong seems to be very busy. He doesn't show up during the day, but he will come back to check in at night, and he will leave at dawn the next day."

  Qi Zhiyuan thought it made sense: "Perhaps Mr. Rong is busy, so he leaves early and returns late."

   "I want to see the guest room where Rong Song lives." Zhou Mu had another idea.

  The shopkeeper immediately shook his head: "This is impossible. How can I bring people in to watch the guest's room?"

  Zhou Mu was about to answer the call, when he suddenly heard Zhao De's voice from outside, looking like he was about to enter the inn.

  He said to Qi Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, follow me."
