Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 148 What’s the origin?

Even though everyone was mentally prepared, they couldn't help but gasp when they heard that they had earned 60 taels in one day.

Fang Yuan was also very excited. He paused and continued, "Today's income from the first floor private room is 3920 taels."

“Tsk tsk, I never thought that a restaurant could be so profitable.” Yun Yan sighed.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "Second brother, calm down. When we open restaurants in various capitals in the future, just think about how much money we will make."

Everyone's blood boiled after hearing this. Just imagine if they opened restaurants in every capital city and every restaurant made so much money, wouldn't they be rich enough to rival a country?

Tsk, I dare not think about it, I really dare not think about it.

Yun Xi smiled and waved her hand, "Chen Tian, ​​you keep the money first. After tomorrow, when all the first batch of membership cards are processed, we will divide the spoils, ah, we should divide the accounts."

Ying Tianchen chuckled, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yun Xi stretched and said, "Okay, let's go back and rest. We have to get up early tomorrow."

No one had any objection.

Just when everyone was getting ready to pack up and leave, Guo Wei came in carrying someone.

"Miss Yun, this guy has been acting sneaky today, asking around about Madam Yun."

Yun Xi frowned, "Ask about my mother?"

"Yes, Miss Yun. He first sneaked into the restaurant and asked the waiter. Later, when Liu San and I were sending the master and his wife back to the village, he followed us to the village. He was then arrested. I sent someone to call Yunsheng back to the village and brought him here."

Upon hearing this, everyone who had stood up, except Mr. Fang, sat back down.

Officer Fang bowed and left, closing the door behind him.

Yun Xi looked at the person kneeling on the ground and asked Yun Qi and Yun Yan, "Big brother, second brother, do you know this person?"

The two brothers also looked at it and shook their heads.

Yun Xi looked at Yun Huaian again, who also shook his head, "I haven't seen it either."

Yun Xi was a little suspicious about what Zhou Ling was trying to do, but she couldn't understand why he was asking about her mother.

Immediately, he thought of the woman he met during the day who looked very similar to Xi. Could she have been sent by them?

Looking down at the kneeling man, she asked, "Who are you? Who sent you to find out about my mother?"

"My dear young lady, I am Lu Bai, the guard of the Mu Mansion. Our master ordered me to come here."

This person did not hide his identity and told the truth.

"Why?"

"To be honest, young lady, more than 30 years ago, our family lost a daughter who was a twin of our eldest daughter. Today, several masters of our family came to the Seven Stars Tower and heard that they met a lady who looked very similar to our eldest daughter. The old lady thought that this person was our second daughter and wanted to come and see her in person, but she fainted from excitement. The master asked me to find out a little bit first."

Yun Xi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.

I didn't expect this to be the reason.

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, girl."

"Have you found out everything now? Is my mother the second young lady in your mansion?"

Speaking of this, Lu Bai felt a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect to meet a master today. He followed him to the village and before he started to inquire, he was caught by the bearded man.

"not yet."

Yun Xi smiled, "Then let me tell you, my mother can't be the second daughter of your Mu family. My mother's surname is Xi, and she has a father and a mother. She grew up in a small village in Xiemu County, which is far away from the capital."

Now that their family has so many businesses, and she herself has her own secrets, she doesn't want to be watched and investigated. So she has to give up the other party's idea of ​​investigating as soon as possible.

As for whether her mother was really the second daughter of the Mu family, she had never heard that her mother was not the biological daughter of the Xi family.

Not to mention that the Mu family only suspected the relationship based on a face, without any solid evidence. Even if there was evidence in front of them, they would have to think carefully about whether to recognize the marriage.

The fact that the Mu family was able to abandon the child in the first place, even if it was not what they as parents wanted, was enough to show that there was something wrong with the Mu family.

Recognizing one's relatives will definitely be accompanied by troubles, so why bother?

After hearing Yun Xi's words, Lu Bai bowed and said, "Thank you Miss Yun for telling me the truth."

Yun Xi waved her hand and said, "You can go back."

Lu Bai left. Yun Xi looked at Ying Tianchen and asked, "What is the origin of this Mu Mansion?"

Ying Tianchen responded, "The head of the Mu family, Mu Junyue, is the prefect of Cangwu County. The eldest son of the prefect, Mu Xingjian, is the magistrate of Rong County in Hepu County. The second son is a lieutenant in the Eastern Suburb Camp of the Southern King, a seventh-rank military officer."

"Is it over?" Yun Xi asked, blinking her big almond eyes.

Ying Tianchen nodded. "The population of the Mu family is relatively simple. The three grandsons of Governor Mu are not very old, and they are all studying at Songhe Academy."

Seeing that he seemed to have really finished speaking, Yun Xi took the initiative to ask, "What about the eldest daughter of the Mu family?"

This is the person she cares about most.

Ying Tianchen thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much about this Miss Mu. I heard that she married to Nanhai County, but I don't know anything else. If you are curious, I will send someone to inquire."

Yun Xi raised her hand, "No need, I just asked casually."

.

Mu Mansion.

Except for Madam Mu, no one else went to rest. They sat in the main hall waiting for news from Lu Bai.

"Master, Second Master, Lu Bai is back." The Mu Mansion's housekeeper reported.

Suddenly, everyone in Tangzhong became excited.

"Please come in." Mu Junyue said.

Soon Lu Bai hurried in. Just as he was about to salute everyone present, Mu Junyue raised his hand to stop him.

"No need to salute, just tell me the situation."

"Yes, sir." Lu Bai replied respectfully.

Then he recounted from beginning to end what had happened today.

"Are you saying that you were captured by the enemy when you followed them to the farm in the western suburbs?" Mu Xingming asked.

"Yes, Master."

"I remember you were pretty good at fighting, why are you so careless?"

Lu Bai was ashamed, "Second Master, the opponent's skills are better than mine, I am no match for him."

Mu Xingming nodded. He was caught so easily. It was obvious that he was no match for the other party.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Mu Junyue reminded.

After saying that, he looked at everyone, "What do you think?"

Just now, Lu Bai told everyone what Yun Xi said.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

It was Mu Xingming who spoke up again, "Father, we still have to send someone to Xiemu County to ask the Xi family to see if they can find the keepsake that my second sister lost."

"As for mother, I will take her to the Seven Stars Tower tomorrow to have dinner and meet the lady, so that mother can put her mind at ease."

"Okay, let's do this first."
