MTL - On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law-Chapter 190 Zhou Mu's cannibalistic eyes

  Chapter 190 Zhou Mu's Cannibalistic Eyes

   "Well, I won't look for it. Young Master, wash up first, and then go to the Yamen to be on duty later." Yin Nanny hurriedly replied.

  Zhou Mu went to the well in silence, fetched water by herself, washed up, changed into a set of clothes and went out.

  Nurse Yin took two buns and chased them out, but Zhou Mu didn't pick them up and got into the carriage.

   In desperation, Nanny Yin gave the breakfast to Qi Zhiyuan.

  Qi Zhiyuan has been with Zhou Mu for many years, and he has never seen his master look so decadent. When Mingming came to see him last night, the young master was still in high spirits, looking forward to his date with Miss Gu on the 20th day.

  Why did the young master seem to be robbed of his life after one night?

   Until Zhou Mu entered the official office, Qi Zhiyuan couldn't deliver the breakfast to Zhou Mu.

  When dealing with official business, Zhou Mu was also absent-minded. The other colleagues saw it, and just when Xu Yanqing wanted to come over to check the records of Jixianglou, he saw Zhou Mu's haggard face, and his eyes fixed.

   "Master Zhou didn't rest well last night?" Xu Yanqing rarely asked a lot.

  Really getting to know Zhou Mu these days, Zhou Mu has always been estranged from others, with the message of keeping strangers away, this is the first time he has seen such a decadent side of Zhou Mu.

   Obviously such a clean person with such an outstanding temperament.

   Zhou Mucai got engaged to Gu Xiyan, shouldn't he be high-spirited?

   That was the person he couldn't touch no matter how hard he thought.

   "It's okay." Zhou Mu's eyes fixed on Xu Yanqing's face, with scrutiny.

  He suddenly thought, if he divorced Gu Xiyan, Xu Yanqing would marry her too. He could feel that Xu Yanqing liked Gu Xiyan very much.

  If Xu Yanqing marries Gu Xiyan, Gu Xiyan will have a complete and happy marriage, at least she doesn't need to be a widow.

  But he couldn't imagine the picture of her happily smiling in the arms of other men, and he wasn't that open-minded. On the premise that he liked Gu Xiyan so much, he could push her into the arms of other men...

  Xu Yanqing's scalp was numb from Zhou Mu's icy eyes. Those who didn't know thought that he had robbed Zhou Mu's woman, otherwise how could Zhou Mu use his knife-like eyes to slowly kill him?

  Actually, it was Zhou Mu who snatched Gu Xiyan away, and this person had the nerve to goug him with such cannibalistic eyes.

   "I, I'm here to check some information, and I'll be leaving soon." After Xu Yanqing finished speaking, she deliberately avoided Zhou Mu's sharp gaze.

   But no matter how much he dodges, Zhou Mu's cold eyes still follow him everywhere.

  When he found the record book of Jixianglou, he hurriedly walked out of Zhou Mu's sight.

  Damn it, he was a little scared of Zhou Mu, who obviously looked harmless.

  It took him a while to shake off his thoughts, check the records of Jixiang Building, and found that the shopkeeper who registered and compiled the records was indeed Wu Tong.

   And this information has been around for ten years, and it was not recently changed.

   That is to say, the shopkeeper of Jixianglou has been Wu Tong since the establishment of the restaurant.

  But his intuition told him that Gu Xiyan must have a close relationship with Wu Tong, and he even wondered if Gu Xiyan was really in charge of Jixianglou.

  When he first met Gu Xiyan, he saw Wu Tong bowing and respecting Gu Xiyan. At that time, he didn't quite understand why Wu Tong respected Gu Xiyan so much.

  But if the guy saluted the shopkeeper, wouldn't that make sense?

  Jixianglou’s food festival was so successful this time, probably earned about 300,000 taels in two days, right? Among them, if there is no key person like Gu Xiyan, many prices cannot be raised.

  He also deliberately went to some diners to ask how the pastry business started in the first place. It turned out that Gu Xiyan and the Liu family sisters were making a fuss together, but within half an hour, hundreds of boxes of palace secret pastries were sold out.

   Because of Gu Xiyan, the key person, Jixianglou earned a full 20,000 taels by selling pastries.

  So if Gu Xiyan is excluded, who would buy a fifty-two box of pastries? If it weren't for Gu Xiyan's deliberate provocation, would Princess Yongjia spend 100,000 taels to bid for a dish?

  That side Zhou Mu didn't react until after Xu Yanqing left, and asked the colleague who was looking through the documents beside him, "What documents did Mr. Xu take just now?"

   "The archives of Jixianglou." The colleague answered truthfully.

   Zhou Mu narrowed his eyes deeply.

  Xu Yanqing is also investigating Jixiang Tower, which shows that he also suspects that there is someone behind Wu Tong.

  In the past two days, he watched the whole process of the Jixianglou auction. Gu Xiyan played a key role. He suspected that the relationship between Gu Xiyan and Wu Tong was not simple, and he was deliberately helping Wu Tong to create momentum.

Therefore, he checked the records of Jixiang Building early in the morning, and also checked Wu Tong's life experience, and found that Wu Tong and Gu Xiyan were not related in any way. The registration records from years ago are not recent revisions.

  He had doubts, and Xu Yanqing also had doubts, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately investigated Jixianglou.

   Gu Xiyan is the shopkeeper behind Jixianglou.

  Only thinking of this possibility, Zhou Mu felt it was ridiculous. That girl looks so quiet, how could it be that she led this food festival?

   But there was another voice in his heart telling him that the girl had many secrets, even the day before the food festival, she came home so late, and he caught her right away.

  If the place she went to was Jixiang Tower, and her real destination cannot be known, wouldn't she have to find an excuse? So she lied that she went to Su Mansion to meet Su Mei.

   In this way, all the doubts seem to be explained.

  If it is what he thinks, it means that Gu Xiyan earned 300,000 taels in two days, such ability is astonishing.

   That's right, that day in the carriage she asked Ruojixianglou's behind-the-scenes shopkeeper if she was a beauty, would he like it, and he replied that it was impossible, and the girl was not happy.

  Thinking of this, he was probably sure that Gu Xiyan was the one behind Wu Tong's plan.

  The colleague endured Zhou Mu's cold face for half an hour. After looking for the file this time, when he turned around, he saw Zhou Mu actually curling up his lips and smiling.

  Since Zhou Mu entered the government office as an errand, no matter when and where he is a beautiful scenery, it is because of his outstanding temperament and handsome appearance, but he has never seen Zhou Mu smiling.

  At this moment, Zhou Mu smiled, as if the epiphyllum was in full bloom, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.

  The word "beautiful" is used on a man, and it fits very well.

  Colleagues were watching intently, Zhou Mu's upturned lips suddenly flattened, and his ice face returned, so cold that it could frostbite several people. Although it is still the same handsome face, people dare not get close to it.

  Zhou Mu also realized belatedly that no matter how good Gu Xiyan is, he should not be the one to harm her. She deserves to have a complete life. If she follows him, what kind of life will she live?

  Can't consummate the house, can't be a mother, which woman can endure such a life?

  —

  Injustice·Xu San: Being robbed of the woman I like by Zhou Mu, and being gouged out by Zhou Mu's vicious eyes, Zhou Mu is seriously ill, right?

   Serious Illness · Zhou Mu: I can marry Xiyan even if I am sick, so be jealous!
