"The market is open today, new comics are out!"
"Comics? What are comics?"
"You wouldn't know, would you? Miss Hu's storybooks always sell out!"

Chapter 81: Fighting
"Wanting, don't be rude." Sun's mother said angrily. This cousin is usually gentle and well-mannered, why is she so rude today?
She wiped the tears from her eyes and introduced herself to Hu Xin'er and the others, "This is Zhang Wanting, the daughter of my brother from my mother's family. She was sent here to live with us for a while."
Zhang Wanting was scolded by Sun, and immediately bowed her head, but her eyes secretly glanced at Mu Qing.
Mother Sun couldn't bear to watch any longer: "This is Boss Hu and his husband, Master Mu. You're here to look for your cousin. What's going on?"
What I mean is, if there is nothing wrong, leave quickly. It is really embarrassing for the daughter of the Zhang family to be unable to take her eyes off someone else's husband.
Zhang Wanting was always smart, but now she was surprised: "How is this possible? This is clearly Lu Yunjue!"
"You've got the wrong person?" Hu Xin'er was helpless. What was wrong with Miss Zhang? Her cousin was still kneeling on the ground, but she only cared about the handsome man.
Mu Qing also put down the tea bowl: "Miss Zhang has recognized the wrong person."
"Impossible, it's obviously..." Zhang Wanting took two steps forward anxiously, "Don't you remember? I..."
Mother Sun frowned, but this was her niece from her mother's side. They had a very good relationship with each other. She was not someone who would do anything rash, and she was extremely stubborn.
She didn't know what to say, fearing she would arouse Zhang Wanting's rebelliousness. She could only smile awkwardly at Hu Xiner and said, "Wanting isn't usually this reckless. I think she really thought she had met an old friend."
"Aunt, he really is Lu Yunjue!" Zhang Wanting smiled and took Sun's mother's hand. "How did you know him? Why is he here?"
Mu Qing said speechlessly, "Miss Zhang, you really have the wrong person. My name is Mu Qing. I hope you won't cause unnecessary misunderstandings in front of my wife."
Seeing Mu Qing's repeated denials, Zhang Wanting was surprised and confused. If it wasn't him, the man in front of her looked exactly like Lu Yunjue.
But if he said so, he seemed to feel a little different from Lu Yunjue.
After taking a closer look, Zhang Wanting became more and more confused, and her face turned red. Regardless of whether it was true or not, this man was really handsome.
How could they be married already?
Zhang Wanting stopped talking and just kept staring at him. Mu Qing was most worried that Erdong would let the cat out of the bag, so he kept staring at him. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he had no intention of saying anything.
Zhang Wanting stared at Mu Qing so fiercely that even Sun's mother couldn't bear it anymore: "If you have nothing else, go back to your room and embroider."
"No, aunt, I finally made it here~" Zhang Wanting said coquettishly, "And this person really looks like Lu Yunjue."
Hu Xiner explained seriously, "Miss Zhang, although my husband is very handsome, we are already married. His name is Mu Qing, not the Lu Yunjue you mentioned."
Zhang Wanting was about to say something when Sun Cai rolled his eyes. "Cousin, people should have integrity. You can't just covet someone else's husband!"
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Wanting felt inexplicably guilty. "Am I that kind of person?"
Sun Cai said very rudely: "You're drooling!"
Zhang Wanting had no choice but to reluctantly believe that Mu Qing was not Lu Yunjue, but the following meal was very awkward.
She kept asking questions and trying to get to the bottom of Mu Qing's life experience.
Mu Qing inexplicably disliked this woman and only responded coldly occasionally to prevent Sun's mother from being embarrassed.
To avoid trouble, Hu Xiner did not say that Mu Qing was picked up by her, but said that the two had known each other since childhood and got married hastily after growing up.
Zhang Wanting muttered to Sun Cai, "Cousin, how could someone with such good looks and good manners be a peasant? Besides, they don't look like a good match."
Sun Cai raised his eyes and said, "Even food can't stop you from eating. Why don't you go back to your room? Boss Hu is a real heroine. How can a talented woman and a handsome man not be a good match? Do you think everyone is like you, unable to even figure out how to embroider?"
"Puff." Erdong really couldn't help it. When he went to the yamen before, Sun Cai acted like a coward, but now he was good at arguing with people.
Hu Xiner gave Sun Cai a lot of 666 in her heart.
Zhang Wanting was not convinced. How could her cousin slander her in front of the handsome man?
She pinched Sun Cai secretly: "What? Look at this purse of mine, I embroidered it myself."
Sun Cai rolled his eyes. "What are you showing off for? Boss Hu has built such a huge fortune at such a young age, and you can only embroider a purse that only sells for ten cents."
Zhang Wanting was choked with words.
Hu Xiner smiled slightly and buried her head in eating.
They were guests and couldn't say anything to the host, and Hu's mother was embarrassed to say harsh words to her niece, so the only voice heard around the table was Sun Cai's scolding voice.
Judging from Zhang Wanting's behavior, she is usually spoiled and even slightly suppresses Sun Cai.
But today he changed his temper. No matter how Sun Cai argued with him, he just sat firmly on the stool and refused to go back to his room.
After the meal, Sun's mother and Sun Cai personally escorted Hu Xin'er and the others out, saying apologetically, "We're so sorry for the poor hospitality today."
Hu Xiner smiled but said nothing.
Sun Cai said enthusiastically: "Boss Hu, next time I will treat you to a meal at the restaurant to make amends."
Hu Xiner recalled how he had just confronted his cousin and couldn't help but laugh: "Boss Sun, don't you need to go and coax your cousin?"
Sun Cai curled his lips. His mother always said that his cousin was smarter than him, but when something happened, he realized that she was as stupid as a pig.
Mother Sun also frowned: "She has a childish temper and is used to being wild. Don't worry about her."
She held Hu Xin'er's hand eagerly: "Although my son is dull, he said something very true. Our two families really need to interact more often. I secretly want you to do me a favor."
Sun Cai suddenly felt his hair stand on end. It turned out that Mu Qing was looking at him coldly.
"Mom, Boss Hu is already married! It's not appropriate for me to associate with her." He quickly said to Sun's mother.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mother Sun said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I just want to ask Boss Hu to teach you some lessons about life. She's the major shareholder of the bookstore, and you're her employee. We should interact more often."
"Teach? I'm not qualified for that." Hu Xiner waved her hands repeatedly. She had no interest in educating mama's boy.
But Sun's mother eagerly grasped her hand and said, "Boss Hu, my son is not a bad person by nature, but he is eager for quick success and instant benefits, which makes him prone to go astray. I am a woman from the harem, and his uncle is busy with official affairs. I hope you don't despise him."
She wanted Sun Cai to kneel down and become his disciple, but Hu Xiner quickly signaled Mu Qing to help him.
When Sun Cai's knees were about to hit the ground, Mu Qing slowly pulled his sleeve and said, "You can't do that."
Sun's mother then said a lot of good things and said that the Sun family's door would always be open to Hu Xiner, and if there was any business need in the future, Hu Xiner could just ask.
Although Sun's father died early, the Sun family's ancestors had accumulated a lot of wealth through business, and the Sun family was considered a wealthy family in the town. Hu Xiner was able to rely on them.
