Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 163 Restaurant Changes Ownership

Mu Tangxi sat in the carriage and slowly opened the two notes in his hand.

It talked about the recent whereabouts of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince and the people they had met. They also overheard a few words and were almost discovered.

I didn't expect that the Minister of Personnel, who was familiar with my father, had become so close to the Crown Prince recently.

Dong Zhu skillfully took out a tinderbox and destroyed the note that the young lady had read. Even the ashes were wiped clean with a handkerchief.

"By the way, how is the progress over at Shen Qiu?"

Mu Tangxi suddenly remembered this matter.

Dong Zhu calmly recounted, "According to the spies, Shen Qiu was initially driven out by those officials, but when Shen Qiu offered free medical treatment, those officials agreed to let Shen Qiu in."

Mu Tangxi nodded slightly, still with a gentle smile on her face, as if the person following Shen Qiu was not her.

Shen Qiu is very smart and does her job well, but she is still worried.

It is not enough to just use Shen Qiu's secret recipe to threaten him.

Mu Tangxi has developed Shen Qiu's appetite over the years, so it's time for him to calm down.

"Let those officials cause more trouble for Shen Qiu."

"Yes."

Mu Tangxi has been busy every day in the past few years. She will not relax until she gets that all-powerful power.

Those officials were people she happened to have helped before, and even if they had any ill intentions, the servants around them would help her get rid of them.

But the main thing now is to come up with a way to secretly send money to him without attracting Ji Qichen's attention.

It is very simple and also complicated. It depends on whether Ji Qichen believes it or not.

"Dong Zhu, go help me with something."

"..."

Ji Qichen did not go back to the palace directly. He deliberately visited the prosperous shops in the capital, all of which had good locations, cheap prices and exquisite products.

What would he open better?

After strolling for a long time, as he was about to return to the palace, he heard someone passing by say, "Did you hear?"

"what's up?"

"It's that Wanlixiang boss wants to sell the restaurant now. I heard that someone in his family is seriously ill and he needs money urgently."

"Ah? Who would buy a restaurant now?"

"As long as someone can pay 20 taels of gold at once, the restaurant will belong to that person. Everyone knows that this restaurant makes money very quickly. The boss must have suffered a huge loss!"

Ji Qichen lowered his eyes, not knowing whether the matter was true or not, but he planned to go to the restaurant to ask first.

Twenty taels of gold was already most of what he could afford. What would he do if it went to waste?

After Ji Qichen left, the two people who had just spoken slowly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off their faces with their sleeves. "I almost thought I was exposed."

"Who said it wasn't? Let's practice it together. Our expressions are still a little too stiff. I'm afraid someone will find out next time."

"Yeah."

Ji Qichen went back to the restaurant after a lot of wandering. He found the owner of the restaurant and asked, "Boss, are you going to sell this restaurant?"

"Hey, distinguished guest, how did you know? I really want to sell the restaurant." The boss looked at Ji Qichen in surprise and said.

Ji Qichen stared into the boss's eyes and asked, "Why do you want to sell it?"

The boss said calmly, "Of course it's for money. My mother is seriously ill and I need money urgently. Do you want to buy it?"

Ji Qichen looked at the restaurant owner and said, "Then may I ask how much money you can make every month?"

The restaurant owner said, "About seven hundred taels of silver."

"How much can I buy your restaurant?"

The boss bent down slightly and raised two fingers. "Twenty taels of gold."

Ji Qichen's expression remained unchanged, "It's higher."

The boss was anxious, "Why is it so high? This is already a bargain."

"Fifteen taels of gold. If you don't want to sell it, forget it." After saying that, Ji Qichen turned around and pretended to leave.

"Hey hey hey! Don't go. Fifteen taels, fifteen taels is fine!" The boss called out to his distinguished guest with a painful look on his face.

Ji Qichen smiled and turned his head, "Then I'll bring the money tomorrow, but you can't sell it to others first."

The boss nodded helplessly, "Okay."

After watching Ji Qichen's back as he left, the pained expression on the boss's face instantly disappeared, and the guy behind him praised, "As expected of Mr. Wang, he got it done right away."

"That's right!" The boss' smile became real, and he raised his chin slightly with pride, looking lively.

"Just now, Sister Liu from the Treasure Pavilion actually boasted to everyone that the master went to her place. Let's go and show off too!"

"go!"

As soon as Mu Tangxi arrived at the yard, she was called away by her eldest brother. When she arrived at her eldest brother's yard, she found that her second brother and third brother were there.

"Brother, second brother, third brother, has something happened?" She asked with a worried frown.

Mu Jinfeng nodded slightly, suppressing the irritation in his heart, "Father plans to let... Mu Jinrong and Mu Lianxue also go to the study room with us to study."

Mu Jinfeng held it in for a long time and just didn't want to say those two words, so he just called him by his name.

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi felt that the last incident was caused by that brat, so they now hate them especially.

But they couldn't bring themselves to do anything to the children and the women, which made them want to smash the teacups in their hands.

But they didn't dare, because this was the eldest brother's teacup. If they broke it, wouldn't it be a provocation to the eldest brother?

The two of them had frowned brows and looked like they wanted to beat someone up.

Mu Tangxi also sighed and said in a very gentle tone, "Since they entered the mansion, we have been in trouble one after another. Are they unlucky for us?"

Mu Jinfeng sneered, "When they came, my mother was put under house arrest by my father. Now she is out. If we don't fight back, won't we be considered as those who swallow our anger?!"

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi echoed, "Yes."

"Since they took the initiative, we don't have to be patient any longer."

Mu Tangxi was daydreaming, still thinking about how to win over officials for Ji Qichen.

But he was immediately pulled back by his eldest brother's words, "Mom has been locked up for so long, it's time to ask Dad to release her from house arrest. If she is not released, people outside will become suspicious. She hasn't attended a banquet for a long time."

Mu Tangxi was the first to respond, "Yes, father can't always keep mother locked up."

She didn't expect these three people to be able to outsmart Lin Xueruo, and the most important point was that her mother was Mu Lianxue's biological mother!

She really wanted to see Mu Lianxue being on the verge of death due to her own biological mother's scheme!

Mu Tangxi quietly curved her eyes, with the corners of her peach blossom eyes slightly upturned.

The eldest brother, second brother and third brother have agreed to start the action in the study tomorrow.

Tomorrow, not only do I have to ask my father to lift the house arrest on my mother, I also have to strike back at Mu Jinrong and Mu Lianxue. Not everyone can enter the Prime Minister's Mansion!
