Chapter 421: Got Tricked Again

Their smiles were more gentle and charming than each other, but their words were more piercing than each other.

People around me are used to it.

Since they left home this morning, they have seen countless similar scenes.

The more they talked, the angrier they became, and the look in their eyes seemed to make them want to tear each other apart.

It's a pity that the smile on my face still needs to remain bright.

Lu Wanyin sat on the second floor of a teahouse, looking down through the window curtains. She was very satisfied with the situation: "It seems that my action yesterday was the right one."

These powerful people are used to being arrogant, and a simple couple of blows cannot smooth out their edges.

As night fell yesterday, there were still people causing trouble outside the city.

Lu Wanyin personally led people there, and one of them left with an arm.

The effect is indeed good.

If we meet again today, no matter how big the grudge is, we will be as obedient as quails.

Liuying smiled and served tea to Lu Wanyin: "Madam used to worry that the young masters and young ladies would learn bad things, but now she is not afraid anymore."

Lu Wanyin placed her palm lightly on her belly and smiled slightly: "The child of me, Lu Wanyin, and Xie Jingci, cannot be a coward.

If you are too timid, I will send you to the military camp after the full moon."

Although she knew that she was mostly joking, Liuying was still amused.

Mu Linyuan sat opposite him, looking at Lu Wanyin enviously: "I'm tired of saying the word jealousy.

If one day Xie Jingci treats you badly, come to Shuiyu to find me.

Even if I am not as good as Dasheng, I can still fight him for you."

Liuying, who was serving tea next to her, trembled her hand, and the teacups made a crisp sound when they collided.

She looked at Mu Linyuan with horror: "You don't want to live anymore?"

Lu Wanyin also wanted to say, don’t you want to live anymore?

Mu Linyuan sighed regretfully and looked at Lu Wanyin half-truthfully: "For a woman like Wanyin, why isn't it worth taking a risk?"

"You were the one who called me Wanyin"

Lu Wanyin calmly took a sip of tea and glanced at Mu Linyuan: "Thank you for your concern, there will never be such a day."

Mu Linyuan was unwilling to accept it: "Do you really trust Xie Jingci so much?"

"It's not all about trusting him."

Lu Wanyin smiled slightly: "I believe in myself more."

She believed that she was worthy and would be cherished by Xie Jingci for the rest of her life.

"All right."

Mu Linyuan sighed in frustration: "When can you return the soap to me?"

Still thinking about soap

Lu Wanyin held her forehead and said, "I sold the soap at a 30% discount. I'll give you all the money."

“30% off!”

Mu Linyuan stood up from his seat instantly: "That's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"

The waiter who was passing by the door stopped, carefully approached the door and listened for a moment.

After confirming that there was no fighting inside, I left with peace of mind.

Lu Wanyin knocked on the table helplessly: "An Jing, it's only 30% of the silver, not as much as I cheated you last time. Otherwise, I will make it up to you."

The grief and anger on Mu Linyuan's face disappeared instantly: "Why are you compensating me for food? I don't need it for the time being."

He didn't mind the 30% of the silver, he was just curious about what conditions Lu Wanyin would put forward.

Lu Wanyin coughed lightly and said, "On the way back to Beijing, I found a lot of gold. I can give you 40 stones."

Mu Linyuan's eyes widened: "Are you so generous? Actually, it's only 30% of the silver. It's not necessary."

That’s more than thirty stones of gold.

He had come to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne, but before he could even give him a gift, Lu Wanyin gave it to him for free...

He really wouldn't feel at ease unless he got beaten.

But if he wants to seize power, he really needs these.

Lu Wanyin gave him a kind look and said, "I heard that the rouge unique to the Shuiyu royal family is very good. If you feel bad about it, you can exchange it for 200,000 taels of rouge. I won't be at a disadvantage."

That thing is a rare commodity.

Mu Linyuan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's settled."

Lu Wanyin smiled and said, "Knowing that the Mu family was coming, we had already prepared a place for them to stay. How about putting the gold directly in the family's yard?"

Mu Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief and was actually a little touched.

In the past, Lu Wanyin always liked to trick him, and he thought that even if he was given a place to stay this time, he would still have to put forward a lot of conditions.

Who would have thought that Lu Wanyin would be so easy to talk to this time.

"You're too polite, Boss. We've been working together for so long, so I should do you a small favor."

Lu Wanyin saw the waiter passing by and called out, "Take Master Mu to... stay at the Marquis Xuan of Qi's mansion and treat him well."

Of course, this largest teahouse is also hers.

When Mu Linyuan was taken away by the waiter, he was still a little bit incredulous: "You, you arranged for me to live in the Marquis' Mansion. Before, I thought you were a narrow-minded woman who liked to cheat people. I was wrong."

When had he ever been treated so well by Lu Wanyin?

After the people walked away, Lu Wanyin's gentle expression disappeared: "I hope that after he arrives at Qi Xuanhou Mansion, he will still be as moved as he is now."

Liuying glanced out the window and said, "Madam, it's almost time to go to the palace."

Lu Wanyin put down the teacup and slowly stood up: "Let's go, the later it gets, the more people there will be, so it's better to go earlier."

She and Liuying left the teahouse and took a small path to the palace.

Mu Linyuan was also brought by the waiter into the mansion of Marquis Xuan of Qi.

The guards were already waiting there and came forward quickly to greet him.

"But Mu Ji's boss has ordered that the entire Qi Xuanhou Mansion's rooms are open to the boss to choose from. Please follow me."

Looking at the spacious mansion and thinking about the crowded city outside, Mu Linyuan sighed: "Your master is thoughtful.

However, there is no need to rush about where to live.

I heard from your wife that the family left some gold for me.

Take me to see it quickly."

"yes."

The guard didn't beat around the bush and took him directly to the backyard: "Master, that is the gold left by the master, nearly fifty stones."

Mu Linyuan felt warm in his heart: "Thank your master for me."

When Lu Wanyin mentioned it, she actually gave him a zero.

The guard nodded and said, "Master, if you need anything, please tell the servants in the mansion. I will take my leave."

After the servants left, Mu Linyuan walked towards the pile of gold.

I only discovered it when I got closer.

There's something wrong with the color of this gold.

Wait, this is not gold, isn't this just gold ore that has just been dug out and hasn't been smelted and purified?

Judging from the purity, it will be reduced by 40% after smelting.

The little bit of emotion that had arisen just now disappeared.

He said, why did Lu Wanyin suddenly change her personality?

It’s still such a scam.

It was a waste of his time being moved, and he even said thank you to her.

In the palace.

Many palace people were preparing to look for Lu Wanyin.

The time for offering sacrifices to ancestors and reporting to heaven is getting closer, and the queen's phoenix robe has been made. It's time to change clothes.

Lu Wanyin's appearance made the palace people feel relieved.

"My lady, you are finally here."

The phoenix robe is specially made with a wide waist, so it does not make one look bulky when worn.

The phoenix crown looks luxurious and heavy, but it doesn't feel heavy at all when held in the hand.

Upon closer inspection, almost the entire phoenix crown is made of hollow patterns, and the only part that has some weight is perhaps the two gems.
