Chapter 576 Mr. Shen’s Visit

"What's the matter again?" Hu Xiner asked with a dark face.

"That young man said he was coerced. Even the prefect's son was alarmed!" Xiao Liu urged, "Young Master, go and take a look."

When the young master of the prefectural government was mentioned, Hu Xiner slapped her head and said, "Oh, how could I have forgotten him?"

Chen Yunzhou waited leisurely outside the door. Seeing Hu Xin'er rushing over, he smiled and said, "Long time no see. Madam Lu, how are you? I guess this is..."

He was about to exchange pleasantries, but Hu Xin'er was in a bad mood at the moment and interrupted him directly: "Mr. Shen, just say what you want to say."

The contrast between her attitude and Zhao Si's is too great.

Seeing that she treated him like this, Shen Yunzhou frowned silently and couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't openly stand up for the comics.

It is said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, but the owner of the comic book shop has both of these characteristics.

During his interactions with Zhao Si these days, he believed that he had a clear understanding of the details of the comic library.

When the shop opened, Hu Xiner claimed to be Zhao Si's sister and said that she would be in charge of the comic book shop in the future, which attracted everyone's attention.

However, when everyone's attention was diverted to the quality of the comics, she quietly withdrew, and the comic shop was actually still managed by Zhao Si.

He went to Zhao Si to fulfill the previous contract, but Zhao Si made excuses and even tried to curry favor with him in a subtle way. His mean behavior really made Shen Yunzhou sick to this day.

Furthermore, are Zhao Si and Hu Xin'er really siblings? If their relationship is genuine, why has Zhao Si never expressed any concern for his pregnant sister?

All the doubts and flaws, coupled with Zhao Si's behavior, have completely exhausted Mr. Shen's patience.

Scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants. Although merchants have no worries about food and clothing and enjoy a prosperous life on a daily basis, they are at the bottom of the contempt chain in feudal society.

Chen Yunzhou is the son of an official, and he has been accustomed to the flattery of businessmen since he was a child. The idea that all businessmen must be treacherous has been implanted in his bones.

Originally, he had intended to show some respect to the Zhao "sister and brother" for the painter's sake, but now that the two of them were blaming each other, it really made him angry.

So, Shen Yunzhou asked coldly: "Mrs. Lu, have you forgotten the promise we made to each other?"

He took a step forward, his aura growing stronger. "When we signed the contract, you said you would tell me the painter's whereabouts soon. But I've been waiting for days, and you two still haven't told me a single word. Are you kidding me?!"

When he said the last sentence, his voice became noticeably heavier. The servants he brought were all martial artists. Seeing the young master's expression, they understood what he meant. They threw Zhao Si to the ground with a fierce look on their faces, and then stepped forward and threatened: "I hope Madam Lu will not refuse a toast and drink a penalty!"

"You!" Hu Xin'er didn't expect that Master Shen would treat her like this, but when she thought of the identity of the man in front of her, she didn't dare to provoke him easily.

If they offended Master Shen, neither the comic shop nor the Lu family would have an easy time in Qingzhou City. Although they had the Du family as their backer, it was best not to make enemies easily and bring trouble to the Du family.

She had no choice but to suppress her irritation and explained, "Mr. Shen, calm down first. It was my bad attitude just now, and my brother is also ignorant. I will definitely tell you the identity of the painter."

Before he could finish his words, Master Shen raised his hand to interrupt him. He had been dealing with Zhao Si a lot these days and was used to hearing these nonsense. He also believed that this family was full of nonsense.

"No need to say more." He smiled wryly, "I believe Mrs. Lu will give me a satisfactory answer."

After saying that, he strode inside.

"Hey!" Hu Xiner subconsciously wanted to stop him. The Lu Mansion had been on high alert recently, and they told the outside world that it was to prevent anyone from offending the seriously ill old lady.

In fact, he was worried that the prince's men would sneak in among the visiting people and take advantage of the situation.

Mu Qing came out with him and subconsciously stood in front of Master Shen.

Chen Yunzhou held one hand in front of him, and with the other hand he played with the jade pendant on his waist, with a half-smile on his face: "Why, is this the Lu family's way of entertaining guests? This young master believes that he has been very kind to you! Now that I'm visiting you, you don't even invite me in to sit down?"

One of the servants stepped forward and pushed Mu Qing, while another politely said to Hu Xin'er, "Madam Lu, the prefect's son has come to visit. This is a great honor that many people would beg for. Why don't you quickly bring out the best tea in your house?"

Mu Qing didn't like being touched by others, let alone a servant maliciously pushing him? He subconsciously grabbed the servant's wrist and threw him out.

"Ouch!" The boy fell into the flower bed and cried out in pain. "You don't have to be so rough, do you?"

Seeing him throw the servant out effortlessly, Shen Yunzhou's eyes flashed with surprise, but then his brows knitted together and he said sternly, "Why, Master Lu, don't you welcome me?!"

He wanted to shock Mu Qing with his aura.

But although Mu Qing didn't say a word, the aura he exuded was even more terrifying than his, making people tremble in their hearts.

Hu Xin'er didn't want the two of them to clash, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Shen has misunderstood. Since you are a guest, how can we not entertain you? My husband stopped you because he was afraid that the tea in our house would be bad and make you laugh."

Shen Yunzhou finally came back to his senses from the blankness of his shocked mind. He swallowed quietly to ease the sudden tension in his heart.

He thought secretly: Strange... The man in front of him is at best a wandering knight with better martial arts skills. It's not like I haven't seen people with better martial arts skills than him before, but why does his aura make people so nervous?

On the surface, he just looked at Mu Qing calmly, but in fact he knew that in the silent contest just now, he had already lost to the person in front of him.

At this time, Hu Xin'er saw that he didn't speak for a long time, so she thought he was still angry.

She stepped forward and pulled her husband, saying softly, "Husband, let's invite Master Shen in... By the way, go and bring Zhao Si in so I can ask what happened to make Master Shen so angry."

Mu Qing nodded reluctantly for his wife's sake.

Shen Yunzhou didn't want to give in for the sake of face, so he snorted and walked forward: "Mrs. Lu should be more reasonable."

Hu Xin'er thought that after giving Mr. Shen face, he would calm down a bit, and she could also resolve the misunderstanding between them.

But unexpectedly, after Master Shen sat down, the real difficulties had just begun...
