On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law

  Chapter 87 The marriage between them

  Qi Zhiyuan hurriedly followed behind Zhou Mu, heading for the back hall of the inn.

  The shopkeeper saw Zhou Mu was familiar with him, and wanted to stop him. At this moment, Zhao De came in and asked him the same question: "Does Rong Song live in this inn?"

  The shopkeeper heard Zhao De's high-pitched and thin voice, and looked at Zhao De's face without a beard, so he guessed that the man in front of him was an eunuch.

  The good-looking young master just now was wearing a scarlet official uniform, and his rank is not low. This is another eunuch. Who are the people that young master Rong provoked?

   "Young Master Rong does live in the inn, but he is not there at the moment." The shopkeeper replied respectfully.

   "Then do you know when Rong Song will return to the inn?" Zhao De asked.

   After finally finding out that Rong Song lives in this inn, there is no reason why he can't see anyone, otherwise how would he explain to His Highness?

   "I don't know. Maybe the guest officer can come to try his luck at night. Mr. Rong is really not in the inn at this time." The shopkeeper glanced at the back hall.

  Zhao De wants to return to Zhou Xing to report, it is not good to stay any longer, so he left a person at the inn to guard, and he returns to the palace to report.

  The shopkeeper was worried that the good-looking young man would intrude, so he hurried into the back hall to see what happened.

   Zhou Mu knew that Zhao De had left the inn, so he took Qi Zhiyuan out of the back hall. Before the shopkeeper could speak, he took Qi Zhiyuan and left the inn.

  The man Zhao De stayed behind didn't pay attention at first, until a figure in a scarlet official robe flashed by, and he only had time to see the back of the man.

   Before seeing the man's face, the man walked away with graceful steps.

   "Shopkeeper, who was that lord just now?" The man asked curiously.

  Based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, the shopkeeper replied vaguely: "I don't know, it's the first time I've seen you."

  After Zhou Mu left the inn, he didn't go back to the Yamen, but went to the southern suburbs.

  Qi Zhiyuan wasn't sure what Zhou Mu was thinking, and he didn't dare to ask more questions until their master and servant found the original owner of the wasteland, Old Wang.

  Old Wang didn't expect the official to be so young and so handsome, he stared straight at Zhou Mu's face in a daze, and it took him a while to recover.

   "I don't know what your lord does?" Old Wang asked timidly.

   "Don't be afraid, old man, our young master is very nice. Whatever your young master asks you, you can answer truthfully." Qi Zhiyuan said with a smile on his face.

  Old Wang hurriedly found a cleaner chair and put it in front of Zhou Mu.

   Zhou Mu was standing in a position where he could see the endless wasteland beyond. This piece of land is really as in the legend, not a single blade of grass grows.

   No wonder it couldn’t be sold for more than ten years, and I don’t know what to use for this kind of land.

   "I want to ask you, besides Rong Song, was there anyone else on the day of the land purchase?" Zhou Mu went straight to the point.

  Old Wang didn't dare to lie, so he told the truth: "In addition to Fourth Master Rong, there is also an accountant Mr. Yan. Besides, there seem to be people in the carriage, but the people in the carriage never got out of the carriage."

   "Mr. accountant surnamed Yan?" Zhou Mu thoughtfully: "Can you describe the appearance of this accountant?"

  Old Wang said after careful recollection: "It looks very thin, with a sallow complexion, big and dull eyes, and a strong scent of incense on his body. By the way, there are still pockmarks on his face."

  As soon as he heard the strong smell of incense, Zhou Mu knew that it was the man who was sitting in the carriage that day. What impresses him the most is that the person's incense is particularly pungent. He doesn't like too strong a smell, so he still remembers this detail to this day.

   "Mr. Can you tell me what happened that day in detail?" Zhou Mu became more and more interested in that Mr. Yan.

  Old Wang only said that Zhou Mu was an official, and he didn't dare to hide anything, so he repeated what the accountant Mr. Yan said at that time.

   Zhou Mu was dumbfounded for a while after listening.

  He also knows the land price in the capital, on average, it costs five or six taels of silver per mu.

  Although Lao Wang's land has been rotten in his hands for more than ten years, and later reached the point where no one cares about it, it will not be sold at a cheap price of three hundred yuan per mu.

  I can only say that Mr. Yan is a ruthless person.

"At that time, I saw that Mr. Yan and Fourth Master Rong were dressed in shabby clothes. Mr. Yan repeatedly emphasized that all of Fourth Master Rong's belongings can only be bought at this price. I am afraid that I will miss the buyer of Fourth Master Rong, and I will have to wait for many years. , so he cruelly sold this land to Fourth Master Rong." Lao Wang doesn't regret it now when he thinks about it.

  Before he sold the land, he felt heavy in his heart and sighed all day long. But after the land was sold, he felt refreshed, and with cash in hand, he could do whatever he wanted.

  I don’t know why as soon as he sold the land, a girl came to ask about the land, and today this handsome young man came to ask about the process of selling the land.

  After Zhou Mu asked about the process, he felt that there was nothing missing. Just as he was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly asked again: "After you sold your land, what did that Mr. Yan say?"

Old Wang responded immediately: "As soon as my lord asked me, I remembered it. It really does exist. Before leaving, Mr. Yan told me that there was a fish pond in Majia Village and asked me to buy it. He also said that I would buy it. Good business."

  While Gu Xiyan, who was far away in the West Garden of Wanqinghou Mansion, sneezed suddenly.

   "Young lady, you've got a cold, right?" Qiu Shi immediately added a dress to Gu Xiyan.

  Gu Xiyan's three servants were worried, they hurriedly shook their heads and said, "It's just an itchy nose, it's okay."

  Before, Miner came to her specially because she was worried about her, and she also knew that Miner had reported to Zhou Mu about Xiao Gu's coming to Xiyuan to make trouble.

  Knowing that it was Wan Qinghou who came forward to quell the matter, Min'er sent a message to the next door, saying that the matter was over.

  She knew that Min'er belonged to Zhou Mu, and Zhou Mu placed Min'er in the Hou Mansion because she was worried about her, and she couldn't drive Min'er away. But according to her thinking, as soon as Min'er has news about her, she will report to Zhou Mu, and she will always trouble Zhou Mu, which is really not good.

   Zhou Mu is a person who does great things, so she shouldn't be caught in her tracks...

   On the other side, after Zhou Mu came back from the southern suburbs, he went to the Yamen, only to find out that Cai Yu had been waiting for him for a long time.

  He hurried back to the mansion, and Nanny Yin told him that it was Wan Qinghou who came forward and the matter had been resolved, so don't worry.

  He didn't know whether to be happy for Gu Xiyan or sad for her.

  He was not by his side when she had an accident, and Cai Yu couldn't find him either. If Marquis Wan Qing didn't show up today, would Gu Xiyan have already been kicked out of the house at this moment?

  Nurse Yin saw that Zhou Mu was not in a good mood, "My lord, don't worry, since Master Hou is protecting her, Miss Gu will not be bullied in the Hou's mansion, and Marquis Wan Qing can still trust her."

   Zhou Mu remained silent, looking at the neighbor through the bare branches.

  He suddenly remembered that it seemed that since the day when he made up his mind to meet Gu Xiyan less face to face, he and Gu Xiyan really hadn't spoken a word. Even though they met each other that day, Gu Xiyan didn't look him in the eye.

  He clearly knew that she was having a bad time, but he couldn't do anything.

  If she married someone, would her life be better?

   Zhou Mu was in a depressed mood: "Zhiyuan, let Min'er inquire about the marriage between Miss Gu and Xu San."

  —

   Laughing wildly on my hips, I ran to the 15th place, the best ranking so far, thank you for your support, be careful.

   The score is really low. Fortunately, everyone helped me to give me five stars. I will continue to ask for five-star praise.
