Chapter 249 Ah Zhao, your father might be a big boss
"A Zhao, I suspect Uncle Shen is the owner of Jinyulou."
When Chu Mu said this, Shen Zhao was stunned.
What a joke!
If her father is the owner of Jinyulou, then it means that her father is also the behind-the-scenes owner of Wan'an Casino and Zhongshou Auction House.
How is this possible!
Although my father was a general of the Northwest Army before he became the Minister of War.
But she knew her father. It was impossible for him to have such a large business in private and be so secretive.
The mysterious owner of Jinyu Tower is someone that even the royal family is wary of.
"Why do you suspect my father? Is it because he has private contact with the prince?" Shen Zhao asked.
Chu Mu shook his head and said, "No."
"Ah Zhao, when I went to Jinyulou to borrow some help, the waiter named Yunfeng was extremely excited."
"I asked how many people I needed, and I said I wanted to borrow a hundred. Ah Zhao, you know, the waiter directly selected a hundred and fifty people for me, including five maids, all of whom are masters of various fields."
"He also said that I had no maids or servants to serve me, and asked those five people to follow me."
Chen Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Did you accept those five people?" This Jinyulou is too generous.
"Yes, I met the five maids. Their skills are no less than my men. Moreover, they are not only skilled in martial arts, but also have their own special skills."
"If one day our bodies were swapped, I would feel at ease knowing they were by your side to protect me."
The reason why he suspected that Uncle Shen was the owner behind Jinyulou was because of something one of the maids said inadvertently.
"A Zhao, one of the maids, blurted out that the young master looked too much like the master when she saw me. She knew she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly avoided my gaze."
"A Zhao, who do you think the young master she is talking about is? And who is the master?" In fact, he was not sure whether the master behind Jin Yulou was Uncle Shen.
Because Ah Zhao and Uncle Shen really don't look alike.
In fact, A Zhao and Shen's mother don't look much alike.
"Also, if Jinyulou was just repaying Uncle Shen for saving their boss's life, why would they be so attentive to you? This doesn't seem like repayment."
"If you were their young master, everything would make sense."
"That's why they gave you the golden soft hedgehog armor, prepared medicinal food, and sent experts to serve you."
Chen Zhao remained silent. She didn't know why Jin Yulou had suddenly become so good, but she was sure that her father was not the boss behind Jin Yulou.
There must be a conspiracy that she doesn't know about, but her identity is there. What exactly are these people trying to do to her with such good intentions?
Chu Mu continued, "Do you know how precious the medicinal food sent by Jinyulou is? Yunfeng will come to deliver the medicinal food in the next few days."
"I asked Elder Kong and the senior to take a look. They said that the medicinal food was even more precious than what the Empress and Concubine Hui ate in the palace. Especially some of the medicinal ingredients in it are not available in Southern Chu State and are priceless."
The more Chu Mu said, the more Shen Zhao couldn't understand what Jinyulou was planning.
At this time, the old doctor Kong and the old senior came, followed by several other doctors.
Elder Kong hurried forward to check Shen Zhao's pulse. "How strange! It's that strange pulse again."
Shen Zhao quickly asked, "Why is the pulse so strange?"
"Normal pulse!" Elder Kong stepped aside and called out to the old man, "Come, take his pulse and see if it agrees with my conclusion."
It was precisely because the pulse was normal that they found it strange. It seemed strange that a person fell into a coma twice for no apparent reason.
The imperial doctors took turns taking Shen Zhao's pulse, and all of them concluded that Shen Zhao was fine.
Elder Kong pondered for a moment and said, "This is the only way I can report to His Majesty. General Chu's poison relapsed because of the toxins in his body that were triggered by the rain."
Chen Zhao then said, "Master Kong is absolutely right. This general is about to be poisoned again."
After sending off the imperial doctors, the servants from the mansion hurried over to report.
“General, Madam Shen is clamoring to see you, and she also said that if you and the general don’t go to see her, she will commit suicide.”
Chen Zhao lifted the brocade quilt on her body. She felt good at the moment. Except for a little lack of energy and blood, everything else was fine.
He said with a gloomy face: “Let’s go, Madam, and see how long Madam Shen will make trouble.”
She had questions in her mind as to why she fell into a coma when she heard Mother Shen say that she was dead that day.
During her coma, she always felt that she was not dreaming, but was actually experiencing Zi Su crying beside her bed.
When Shen Zhao and Chu Mu arrived at the guest house where Shen's mother was, Shen's mother had already pushed aside the maids and old women, and rushed towards the two of them with disheveled hair and bare feet.
She first glanced at Chu Mu, then at Chen Zhao, and the tears in her eyes suddenly flowed down.
With a "thump", Mother Shen knelt down in front of the two of them.
Chen Zhao quickly pulled Chu Mu away.
His face darkened even more.
What on earth does Shen's mother want to do!
"Mrs. Shen, why do you want to see me and A Zhao? If it's still for Shen Qianmeng, then forget it."
Mother Shen cried and shook her head, "It's not for her, it's not for her."
"She's not my daughter at all. Only Zhao Zhao is. No, that's not right... My poor second daughter was murdered... My Zhao Zhao is dead too..."
In the eyes of Shen Zhao and Chu Mu, Mother Shen’s words were undoubtedly crazy.
She must have been overstimulated for several days and gone crazy.
Shen Qianmeng is her most precious sweetheart.
"I know you won't believe me no matter what I say, but my Zhao Zhao is really dead. It's all my fault as a mother. I didn't take good care of her."
"When the Shen family was in trouble, I was only thinking about that bastard. I didn't care about Zhao Zhao's feelings at all, and I never thought about her. It's all because of me, the bastard mother."
"I should have thought of this. If something happened to the Shen family, she wouldn't have an easy time in the General's Mansion. I should have thought of this, ah wuwu..."
"If I hadn't been indifferent to her, if I hadn't visited her in the past two years, how could she have been bullied and tortured to death by you?"
"I beg you, please let me see Zhao Zhao for the last time, please let me go to that small courtyard."
As she spoke, Mother Shen kowtowed to Shen Zhao and Chu Mu.
She didn't look fake or crazy, but rather like a mother who was anxious to see her child.
Shen Zhao's heart suddenly twitched, and she asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Is Ah Zhao really dead?"
Mother Shen stopped moving, and the moment she raised her head, she could clearly see that her forehead was red and swollen, and even the skin was broken and bleeding.
"Zhao Zhao is really dead! She's still lying there, and no one is collecting her body... My Zhao Zhao is just lying there, she must be terrified..."
Chu Mu also noticed something unusual.
But if A Zhao dies, then who is he?
"Mrs. Shen, who am I then? Am I not Ah Zhao? Look at me carefully, I am standing here alive."
