Seeing how busy Lu Jinfeng and Madam Li were, not only did she not worry for them, she even took joy in their misfortune.

He had chosen the path himself, he had to finish walking while crying.

No matter how tired he was, he had to call out to his relatives since he had provoked them himself.

However, there was a limit to Chen Mu's tolerance. It didn't matter how many obstacles he faced in his daily life, he had to complete the daily workload.

Furthermore, be on strict guard against Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er in the workshop.

Because of this, she specifically warned Bai Xiulin: "Sister Xiu Lin, you have to keep an eye on them in the workshop, I keep having the feeling that these two people won't come early or late, and will come when our business is getting better. Our thoughts are impure, we are in the food business, don't let others cause trouble."

The food business was the most particular, especially the hygiene check, which was extremely rigorous.

A disaster comes from the mouth, and after eating something unclean, the body will be diseased, and once the customer is sick, the owner of the food business will be in trouble.

Thus, no matter what kind of goal this mother and daughter pair had, she definitely wouldn't give them the chance to cause trouble for her.

"Don't worry. With me around, they won't have a chance to cause trouble." Bai Xiulin was not worried about the safety of the food. Instead, he advised her, "If you have the mind, why don't you take care of your Lu Jinfeng?

On this issue, Chen Mu Mu Mu and Bai Xiulin's attitudes were completely opposite.

"It's fine, he doesn't have the energy."

"Who doesn't have the energy?"

He really couldn't speak ill of others behind their backs. As soon as he finished speaking, the main character appeared.

Bai Xiulin quickly slipped away.

However, Chen Mu Mu Mu wasn't afraid of him. She giggled as she pointed at the circles in his eyes, "I'm talking about you."

In these past two months, perhaps because he had become accustomed to martial arts, Lu Jinfeng's body could be seen to be strengthening at a rapid pace. Normally, no matter how busy and tiring he was, he would meditate and cultivate for several hours at night.

However, in these two days, Lu Jinfeng's eyes were already filled with dark circles.

Lu Jinfeng had suffered enough from his weak body and would definitely not relax to train himself in martial arts. However, to be able to let a martial artist have eyes as black as state treasures, it could only mean that Lu Jinfeng was too tired.

Other than wanting to sleep, why would a person have the mood to date someone else when they were overworked?

Even if Lin Qiu'er was a fairy on the sky, in front of Lu Jinfeng, she wasn't as important as a pillow.

"Discovered?" Lu Jinfeng did not hide it and sighed, "There have been a lot of things to do these past few days.

"Work hard?" Chen Mu Mu Mu grabbed onto his words as he lifted his head. Coincidentally, a complicated look flashed past his eyes as he frowned, "Other than the matter regarding Lin Qiu'er and her daughter, do you have anything else on your mind?"

"I'm just too tired." Lu Jinfeng didn't want to say more, he just laughed and said after hesitating for a while, "Mu Mu, Master asked me to go to the city to help you today. After I send you to the town, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back with you."

It was never a good thing to mention the Lin Banxian.

Chen Mu Mu's heart skipped a beat, "Why is he looking for you?"

"I don't know either." Lu Jinfeng's eyes flickered, he lowered his eyes slightly, and laughed lightly afterwards, "But don't worry, master will never harm me."

Chen Mu was silent for a while, and then he said, "Lu Jinfeng, do you know that you don't know how to lie?"

It wasn't because he couldn't lie, but because it was hard to tell lies to her.

Lu Jinfeng could not deny it, but his expression looked extremely hesitant.

Chen Mu sighed, "Forget it, you've already grown up. You have your own secrets, there's no need to tell me. If you have something to do, just go and busy yourself. I can do it myself."

"I …" In the end, he shook his head and said, "Mu Mu, it's not that I'm intentionally hiding it from you, but I still have no way of clearing up the inner thoughts right now, but I promise that I will tell you when I find out."

"No worries, I understand." Chen Mu Mu patted his shoulder, "Bold enough, don't make yourself regret it."

"Yes." Lu Jinfeng did not speak anymore, and responded as he looked at her with a complex expression.

Lu Jinfeng said that he had something on, and once he had it, it would be difficult to see anyone for four or five days. Lin Qiu'er always wanted to go out with him in the morning, but she was always rejected. She didn't want to be disgraced by Chen Mu selling food in town, so she stayed in the village all day, yelling about how bored she was.

No matter where it was, wherever there were women, there was always trouble. Lin Qiu'er spent all day with the village ladies, gradually forming many rumors that were detrimental to Chen Mu Mu. For example, her body was not in the right condition. For example, she was very flirtatious and did not look like a good girl.

In ancient times, women were always inferior to men, and when women went out, they would always be told the truth. Not to mention that not only did Chen Mu Mu appear in public to do business, but she also did business well.

Gathered, they gathered together, compared each other, displayed their strengths and dug out other people's weaknesses. After a few words, they had completely wiped out Chen Mu Mu Mu for making a little money, their characters were all corrupt and their family was unlucky. Who married her and which family was unlucky?

Of course, in the eyes of the poor, money made the difference. No matter how bad Chen Mu's reputation was, she could make money and make her family live a better life. Even if it was just a pile of sh * t, there would still be people fighting for it. Hence, there was no lack of men who would occasionally speak up for Chen Mu.

However, no matter what others said, Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't care about reputation. She didn't plan to live with these people for the rest of her life, nor did she plan to marry any of the people here to be their slave. Even if she heard some rumors, her left ear would enter her right ear and she wouldn't take it to heart.

It was just that after knowing that the origin of these rumors was related to Lin Qiu'er, his impression of Lin Qiu'er and her daughter became even worse.

The fortune of the disaster depends on each other, the life of Apricot Rain Village here is unstable, but the fortune of the business came rolling in.

Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu had been anticipating the big fish for almost a month, but finally decided to take the bait.

Today, after she finished her food business, Shangguan Bai, who she hadn't seen for a long time, finally appeared.

"Miss Chen, would you mind coming to the Lucky Flint Restaurant for a meal?"

Knowing that Shangguan Bai's intention was not to drink, Chen Mu also agreed with a smile.

"Sure, I just happened to pack up my stall and have nothing to do for now. It would be great if someone could treat me to a meal."

Shangguan Bai's gaze swept a few rounds around her, his eyes twinkling. "How come that big brother of yours who has always been inseparable from her is gone now?"

"He was delayed for a few days, so he didn't have time to accompany me to the town." Chen Mu Mu Mu sized him up and noticed that his face was flushed and full of vitality. He looked much more spirited than the last time they met, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, "Seems like my medicinal strength aren't bad. Your body should have almost cleared itself of the poison by now."

"Your medicine is really good." Shangguan Bai clasped his hands at her. "Speaking of which, my life was taken back by you. I've been recuperating these past few days and haven't come to thank you. I must be grateful now."

"There's no need to be grateful. After all, I merely raised my hand. I was not completely confident in being able to cure you of the poison in your body. It is only luck that I was able to cure you of that poison." Chen Mu Mu smiled as he looked at him, "You're still a business partner after all. Now that I've seen you so lively, I'm really happy in my heart."

The manservant next to Shangguan Bai was dumbfounded. "It's all thanks to your promising words when you were treating my young master's stubborn illness. You actually don't have full confidence in yourself. My young master is precious, if you cure him, can you afford it!?"

The servant kept the fact that his young master was treated like a little white mouse in his heart, and his face turned dark.

"That was your young master's own wish. How could it be possible for him to not take the risk of being cured? If his illness was so easily cured, it wouldn't have lasted until now." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't feel guilty as he looked at Shangguan Bai seriously, "Life is like a wager. If you have no other choice, why not throw it away and see a dead horse as a living horse doctor." "Isn't that just a coincidence?"

"Watch your words, my young master is not a dead horse." The manservant frowned and angrily refuted her words.

Chen Mu looked up at the official's white face, but Shangguan Bai didn't care about that, he smiled and said: "Lady Chen is also straightforward, she doesn't have any malicious intentions, now that my illness has been completely healed, I rely on her care to return the favor to my benefactor, don't be so fussy about it."

The servant opened his mouth and glared furiously at Chen Mu for a long time. In the end, he still agreed with Shangguan Bai's words and didn't choke on Chen Mu Mu again.

As they spoke, Shangguan Bai brought Chen Mu Mu Mu to the third floor, which seemed to be a private office with no open space for guests. The seats were empty, but all sorts of furnishings were available. When Chen Mu Mu and Shangguan Baicai took their seats, a waiter came up to ask about the dishes.

Shangguan Bai said, "I'll treat you to today's meal, order whatever you want to eat."

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow. "Since it's so straightforward, I won't be polite with you guys any longer. Do you all want to offer me a serving of the best dishes in the restaurant?"

"Then give me one of the best dishes in the restaurant." Shangguan Bai waved his hand and gave the order.

The waiter did as he was told and poured the two of them a pot of tea. Then, he tactfully stepped aside.

"With such a grand posture, it seems that this isn't an ordinary meal." Chen Mu took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile.

"Even if there's something on, it's still true." Shangguan Bai smiled and toasted her, "Miss Chen, for the sake of treating me, you must treat me to this meal."

"The food hasn't arrived yet. If you have something to say, why don't you say it first?" "I don't have much time, I still have to go back to the village's oxcart."

For some matters, if one party was not in a hurry, the other side would have to take the initiative.

Shangguan Bai looked at her and smiled faintly, his voice warm like jade. "I believe you've guessed the purpose of my visit."

"After all, guessing is just guessing, it's not a real existence." "If you want the stone hammer, you have to listen to what Shangguan Tzu has to say. If I guess wrong, wouldn't it be very awkward?"

"After not seeing you for a while, your eloquence has increased." Shangguan Bai felt a bit helpless, he took out a box from his sleeve and pushed it in front of her, "The purpose of my visit is to treat you to a meal, and the other is this box."

Give her a box?

A light flickered in Chen Mu's eyes as he vaguely guessed a possibility and happily opened the box in his heart.

The box opened, and for a split-second she was stunned.

What a thick stack of banknotes. They were all one tael in denomination, causing her to be dazzled.
