Chapter 222: Father's Worries

An accident, and then an accident, Mrs. Xia, who had gone through ups and downs for half her life, felt that she couldn't keep up with the changes, and vaguely felt that the era no longer belonged to her.

The Queen Mother insisted on refusing to give up power, is she also afraid that her time has passed?

"The wooden shopkeeper turned out to be a person from the court?"

The third lady's surprise was beyond words, looking at the appearance of Mrs. Xia, the wooden shopkeeper was still very powerful, and the rest of the concubines were also surprised, but they were not as surprised as this, she covered her mouth in embarrassment, "I was so surprised, the wooden shopkeeper...... I couldn't see it before, but I also hurt my daughter, well, I'm happy for Miss Mu. ”

And the hearts of the people said, Rejoice in thyself.

Who doesn't understand the mind of the third wife? However, no one thought that the third wife's wish would come true.

Look at the men standing behind Mu Wu now?

The young master of the Xia family is a little unworthy of Mu Qi even Xia Qi.

Old Mrs. Xia naturally couldn't let her daughter-in-law be embarrassed anymore, and it was no longer suitable for casually letting people receive the wooden shopkeeper, so she got up and walked directly to the outer courtyard, "Go and call the eldest and fifth." ”

The maid promised repeatedly, Master Xia and Fifth Master Xia quickly stood behind Mrs. Xia, a touch of dark color appeared at the door of the study, and the person who came walked in calmly, like a pine and cypress, with a face like a crown of jade, handsome eyebrows, a straight nose, and a black robe, giving people a feeling that it is difficult to deal with, and it is slightly cold and intimidating.

He's the good old man's wooden shopkeeper?

Master Xia and Fifth Master Xia, look at me, I look at you, the faces are the same, and the momentum is completely different, it is obviously two people.

Mu Qi didn't wait for the Xia family brothers who were in a daze to come back to their senses, he sat down unceremoniously, and a gloomy aura made Lord Xia, who was accustomed to seeing the world, tremble slightly, Xia Wuye frowned cautiously, Mu Qi had seen blood on his hands.

"Let me reiterate one thing first, Mu Jin's attitude is not my attitude, although Mu Yuan was raised by me, but it wasn't until Yong'an Hou returned to Beijing that I didn't know which one my daughter was."

The first voice is snatched, just as Master Shangguan has the initiative, although Mrs. Xia is sitting on the main seat, they only have the share of 'obedience'.

Old Madam Xia smiled silently and bitterly, she belonged to a high-ranking official who was never as good as a businessman with authority.

"At that time, I had an errand handed over by His Majesty, and it was inconvenient to take care of my daughter, but now that I have handed over the errand, I am also ready to leave all the money I have accumulated over the years to Mu Wu."

Mu Qi directly threw out a stack of silver tickets, "The remaining property of the Treasure Pavilion, Mrs. Xia will take all the treasures, and the business routes that have been operated over the years will also belong to your Xia family." These...... I don't need it anymore. ”

Old Madam Xia looked at the silver tickets of no less than 100,000 taels, and pulled the corners of her mouth, "I don't dare to accept the silver ticket on behalf of Miss Mu, after all, our agreement that day was to make the Treasure Pavilion cease to exist, and I didn't say that I would accept the silver of the wooden shopkeeper, and the wooden shopkeeper has a fatherly heart, so you might as well hand it over to Ling Ai directly." ”

Mu Qi's momentum froze, if Mu Wu was willing to accept the money and see him, would he still come to Xia's house?

Old Mrs. Xia pulled back a city and regained a little self-confidence, "The old man is really envious of the wooden shopkeeper, with Miss Mu's outstanding daughter, and Miss Mu is one, it is better than raising ten sons." A while ago, the old body has been living in Wancheng, and often meets with Ling Ai, which makes the old body admire, and also makes the old body feel that there are talents in the country, and a generation of new people replaces the old people. ”

The most important thing for a businessman is to stop in moderation, not to fight for will, and let the shopkeeper understand that the Xia family cannot be coerced at will, and Mrs. Xia is unwilling to offend the unfathomable Mu Qi.

Not to mention Mu Qi's status in the court, he is Mu Wu's biological father, and Mrs. Xia can't say too much to Mu Qi before Mu Wu has made a clear statement about her friendship with Mu Qi.

They dared to be cruel to Mrs. Mu and Mu Jin, just because they saw that Mu Wu no longer regarded the two of them as relatives.

Mu Qi gave Mrs. Xia a very interesting look, although his daughter refused to admit him, but he was still very happy to hear others say that his daughter was good, and he was willing to forgive Mrs. Xia for her offense.

He is the emperor's most trusted subordinate, regarded by the emperor as a brother, and is also the most capable and highest-ranking of the emperor's many secret subordinates.

The atmosphere eased somewhat, and Mrs. Xia chatted with Mu Qi for a few words, but she still refused to accept Mu Qi's silver ticket on behalf of Mu Wu, but only deduced that she had an agreement with Miss Mu, and the Xia family had always had the spirit of contract and could not violate the agreement.

Mu Qi couldn't really force Mrs. Xia, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to Mu Wu, and let the Xia family take over the Treasure Pavilion as soon as possible, he got up and said goodbye, Old Madam Xia led his two sons to send him outside the mansion, and saw Mu Qi leave under the escort of a pair of guards.

No wonder the steward at the door sent them a message, Mu Qi brought no less than a hundred guards, and he was no longer weaker than Mu Guogong.

Xia Wuye wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, "What are they doing here?" Show off the competition? ”

Uncle Xia also wiped a cold sweat, "I think this is just the beginning, and those two will have to fight in the future." ”

Old Madam Xia tugged at the corners of her mouth, was silent for a long time, and then said, "I'm really happy for Miss Mu!" ”

Although the two big men acted a little naΓ―ve, they could feel their attention to Mu Wu, no matter how strong and independent a girl is, she also needs a father, Mu Wu's mother can't count on it, and having a father who loves her can comfort her a thing or two.

As long as they are sincere to Mu Wu, it's fine.

"Xia's firm follows Miss Mu closely, as long as you don't have the intention of harming Miss Mu, our family can still be glorious for at least fifty years."

"It's still a mother's wisdom."

When he signed the cooperation agreement with Mu Wu, Uncle Xia felt that he had lost a little bit, and he gave away several percent of the benefits in vain, but now that he looks at it, he has made a lot of money!

If they can meddle in fleet trade or shipbuilding in the future, their Xia family will immediately become the number one merchant in the world!

Old Madam Xia pursed her hair and sideburns, smugness flowed from the corners of her eyes and straight mouths, after signing the agreement with Mu Wu, she was also bold, at this time she was glad that she chose to believe Mu Wu and trust her intuition, "I'm not old enough to be unable to distinguish the situation." ”

"That's, that's, you're our Dinghaishen Needle." Xia Wuye held Mrs. Xia's arm and joked easily, "Sons can't do without your guidance, and grandchildren want you to teach more......"

They thought of Xia Qi almost at the same time, and they all fell silent.

******

In the silence of the night, a figure landed gently on the roof like a feather, discerning the direction left and right, and rushed towards the set goal with a light posture.

The window suddenly opened, the figure was full, the candle flame flickered, and a warm voice went straight into the ears of the people on the roof, "Commander Mu, do you want Mu Wu to look down on you even more?" ”

The person on the roof immediately seemed to stiffen and couldn't move, is it Liu Saburo?

Liu Saburo dared to live not far from Mu Wu? Isn't that bad for his daughter's name?
