Qi Zi angrily took Mu Xiaochu and left.

On the carriage, Mu Xiaochu was a little discouraged when he saw that the matter was about to leave before it was resolved.

Although they are dissatisfied with Aunt Rou's behavior, they also understand in their hearts, after all, no one wants to leave the home where they have lived for a long time for no reason.

As soon as he got in the car, Mu Xiaochu felt a trace of cold air coming out of the car from time to time, turned his head to look, and found that it was from Qi Ziyan beside him, and said with flattery in his eyes: "Ziyan, don't be angry, they won't do it on purpose, if you let me leave the place where I have lived for a long time without giving me any reason, I won't agree." ”

Suddenly, Qi Ziyan sighed, "How could it be, it was because they didn't recognize their identity, no matter what the reason, a slave is a slave, how dare they refute the master's words, let alone let them live in another place, even if they are killed, they can't say anything." ”

Mu Xiaochu was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Yes, it was she who was preconceived and attracted by the life there, just as they were the people who lived there, and the suggestions were only made with good intentions, completely forgetting the purpose of her going - to find out why the rouge could not be sold and solve it.

"Have you ever wondered why, after that time, the Great Elder didn't cancel their slavery out of guilt, but let them come to this place to make rouge?"

“.…..” Mu Xiaochu.

Yes, according to the kindness of the Great Elder, he would do so.

Qi Ziyan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said, "So this matter is not so simple, I think there are some things that the Great Elder has not told us. ”

Mu Xiaochu felt that his head was a little insufficient, didn't he just come to investigate the reason for the bad business of the rouge shop, how could he pull out so many things?

The carriage was driving on an empty path, with only a few hooves of birds chirping, and the sound of the carriage turning was very noticeable here.

Murong Mansion.

Second Elder, "Boss, you said that the head of the family is gone, those people won't do anything, right?" ”

"No, I already told Rouyun before the head of the family went, and today is already the second day, don't you think it's a little late for you to worry?" Rouge Yun is the previous Rouge Auntie.

The Great Elder continued: "And with the regent here, the head of the family will not have anything to do, I am afraid that some of them will live too comfortably and forget their identity. When he said the last sentence, a trace of coldness flashed around the Great Elder's body.

Suddenly, he said, "It's better to call Yun Ze back as soon as possible." ”

Suddenly, the voice of the little servant came, "Back to the words of the Great Elder, the head of the family has returned." ”

"What, didn't the head of the house say that he was going to stay there for a while, why did he come back now?" The second elder asked, "Where is the head of the family now?" ”

"The head of the house has just entered the door, and it's almost here."

The Second Elder and the Great Elder all looked at each other and felt that something should have happened, so they immediately went out to pick up someone.

They hadn't walked out for long before they saw Mu Xiaochu and Qi Ziyan coming over, and there was no expression on their faces, but they could still feel the faint gloom emanating from them.

The Great Elder greeted him, walked in and asked, "Family Master, is the matter unresolved?" ”

Mu Xiaochu took a deep breath, looked up with direct eyes, and asked, "Great Elder, can I ask you a question before answering the question?" ”

The Great Elder paused, "I didn't expect the head of the family to know." ”

"Could it be that the Great Elder really has something to hide from me?"

"The head of the house has walked all the way, come first to have a cup of tea to moisten his throat, let me explain to the head of the house later." The Great Elder looked at the little servant beside him, "Go, pour a cup of tea for the head of the family and the regent." ”

Mu Xiaochu waved his hand and said, "No need, the Great Elder just said it." ”

Then they went to a stone table in the courtyard and sat down.

Grand Elder, "Actually, I hid something from the head of the family about that incident ten years ago. ”

Mu Xiaochu's pupils dilated slightly, and a flash of disappointment flashed, but he still listened patiently to what he said.

The Great Elder ignored the disappointment in Mu Xiaochu's eyes, and continued: "Ten years ago, after those stewards and servants in the mansion died innocently, their families were very sad, and some of them knew their identities, but they were only deeply sad about it, but those who didn't remember their identities felt that this incident was caused by their Murong Mansion, and once wanted to rebel and let them give them an explanation, but they no longer obeyed discipline, and some wanted to directly ask for their deed of sale. The more the Great Elder spoke, the colder his voice became.

The second elder continued: "Murong Mansion was already seriously injured that time, coupled with the actions of those slaves, the Great Elder was sick for several days, and some ignorant slaves were instigated by others, and spread rumors that the disaster in our Murong Mansion was caused by the struggle of people within Murong Mansion, so those who didn't remember their identity thought of using this matter to get themselves out of slavery, hum - a group of people who couldn't do anything about themselves, really thought they were something, although Murong Mansion was greatly injured at that time, but those small roles were quickly resolved. ”

Mu Xiaochu asked, "Those people include Aunt Rou?" ”

The Second Elder nodded, "Yes." ”

Mu Xiaochu: If that's the case, then why did you end up handing over a rouge shop to them?

The Great Elder saw Mu Xiaochu's doubts and said, "Does the head of the family want to say why after that incident, Murong Mansion still kept them, and gave them a rouge shop for so many years?" ”

Mu Xiaochu was surprised that the Great Elder could see her thoughts, but he still nodded, "Yes, I still hope that the Great Elder will tell me." ”

Qi Ziyan suddenly spoke, "It's because of Aunt Rou's ability to make rouge." ”

The Grand Elder cast an approving glance at him, "Yes, that's it. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, that rouge shop in Xifeng Kingdom is from Murong Mansion."

"Haha--worthy of being the regent, you know a lot, you are right, the rouge shop in Xifeng Kingdom is from Murong Mansion."

"Wait, what are you talking about, why don't I understand?"

The Great Elder's tone was teasing, "These things are all recorded in the account books for the head of the family, if the head of the family doesn't know, he shouldn't have finished reading it." ”

Mu Xiaochu lowered his head embarrassedly.

It's true, she only looked at a small part of those account books, thinking that if she found a problem, she would solve it first, but she didn't expect it to be a big joke now.

It seems that she will have to work overtime to read everything after that.

The Great Elder saw Mu Xiaochu's thoughts, and said: "Don't be discouraged, those things are not in a hurry to know at this time, the Murong family's business is very extensive and very large, if you have to read all of them, it will not be completed in ten days and half a month, and the things are dead, but the body is your own, if the family master wants to know, you can let the various stewards give the family master a rough idea first." ”

After the Great Elder finished speaking, Mu Xiaochu's head lowered even lower.

Qi Ziyan stopped Mu Xiaochu in his arms and said to the Great Elder, "Let's talk about that matter first." ”

"Haha—okay." The Great Elder continued: "After that time, they learned to be obedient, and Rouyun even took out his ancestral secret recipe for making rouge voluntarily in order to atone for his sins, and led some people to find a place to make rouge. But Rouge sold and bought more than at the beginning, and fewer and fewer people bought it the rest of the time.

The four elders who believed that this rouge could be sold didn't believe it, so they asked for the secret recipe and sold the rouge to the neighboring Xifeng country, as for the flame country, it was just to make up for the Rouge aunt to hand over the secret recipe and give them something to do, but they didn't care how much they could buy, after all, the rouge had already made a lot of money in the Xifeng country. ”

After hearing so much, Mu Xiaochu finally understood something, but there were still some things he didn't understand, and asked, "Didn't the Great Elder find the reason why he didn't make money here?" ”

"Naturally, I looked for it, but after looking for a long time, the result was still like that, and I finally gave up." The Great Elder's eyes glowed with coldness, "I never thought that they had lived there for so long that they had forgotten their identity!" ”

It's really an ordinary rouge vendor!

regarded the kindness of their Murong Mansion as their arrogant ability.

Even if the head of the family doesn't say anything about this today, he knows about it, it's nothing more than that they don't recognize their identities and are dissatisfied with the arrangement of the head of the family.

Great Elder, "Family Master, just leave this matter to Yun Ze to solve, and the family master doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore." ”

After hearing what the Great Elder said, Mu Xiaochu felt that he was extremely useless, and said, "Actually, I probably know the reason why Rouge can't be sold." ”

The second elder asked in surprise, "What, the head of the family knows?" ”

That rouge is not sold well in Xifeng Kingdom, but no matter how far away their power is, they can't reach it, and then, they don't dare to do business so far.

This is also one of the main reasons why they have indulged Rouge and their people for so many years - maybe it won't be long before they find a way to let Rouge sell in the Flame Country!

Mu Xiaochu nodded, "Yes, the question is who makes rouge, the water there is permanently harmful to the human body, or it may be mixed with some ingredients in rouge, causing the effect of rouge to get worse and worse, and it doesn't sell well." ”

The second elder asked, "Water?" Does the head of the house mean that as long as you change the place to make rouge, there will be no problem? ”

There was a hint of confusion in his voice.

Mu Xiaochu then nodded, "In front of you, it's okay to do this." ”

Then Mu Xiaochu told them about the volcanic spring she saw there, and although everyone was very puzzled, they still had the idea of trying it, just in case.

At the same time, not long after Mu Xiaochu and the others came back, a steward from Murong Mansion came to Aunt Rou.

As soon as he came up, he asked, "I heard that you are dissatisfied with the decision of the head of the family?" ”

One of them replied weakly, "The head of the house must explain to us why he moved out of here." ”

Someone laughed, "Explain? ”

The man nodded slightly.

Instead of looking at her, the visitor looked at the others and asked, "Do you remember why you're here?" ”

There was silence all around.

The person continued: "If it weren't for Rouyun interceding for you, you would think you would be able to live so well here!" ”
