Boss Cheng drove everyone away and took Mu Zheng and Boss Ye's family of three to the flower hall at the back to sit down.
Someone brought tea and was especially thoughtful enough to prepare warm water and snacks for Qingtian.
Boss Cheng was originally worried that Mrs. Ye would join in the discussion, but he didn't expect that after entering the room and sitting down, Mrs. Ye was only concerned with taking care of the children and didn't participate in their conversation at all.
With Mu Zheng's help, the matter was quickly settled.
Boss Ye had nothing to worry about. After all, Mu Zheng was there to witness the whole process. Unless Boss Cheng didn't want to stay in Beijing anymore, he would definitely not cheat him.
After everything was settled, Boss Cheng arranged to treat everyone to lunch.
Boss Ye was just thinking about how to decline when Mu Zheng spoke first. He pointed at Mrs. Ye and said, "Boss Cheng, I'm afraid you don't know who this is, right?"
Boss Cheng was stunned by the question, thinking, isn't this Boss Ye's wife? Could she be his mistress in the capital?
This Boss Ye looks honest, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing?
Thinking of this, Boss Cheng began to want to regret it.
After all, this is Mr. Cheng marrying his daughter. If he knew that the escort he hired at such a high price was actually keeping a mistress outside, wouldn't it ruin other people's happy day and bring disaster to himself!
Boss Cheng's wild thoughts were about to break through the sky, but he heard Mu Zheng say: "Boss Cheng, you have only heard of the name of Ye Zhuangshi, but don't you know that his wife is the very famous You Niangzi in the capital?
"Mrs. You's grandfather is Mr. Cen, and now the three of them live in the Cen Mansion.
"Let me tell you, I came here to help today, not because I don't trust you, but because I want to go to the Cen family for lunch.
“You know, Mr. Cen’s cooking skills are so good that you can’t even afford to eat them nowadays.”
Mu Zheng's words not only explained why he came with them, but also cleverly declined Boss Cheng's plan to treat him to a meal.
Boss Cheng was not angry at all. Instead, he became even happier.
"So that's what's going on. I won't waste Master Mu's time anymore.
"When I return from Taiyuan Prefecture this time, I will come and host a meal for everyone to celebrate."
"Of course, you won't be able to ask me if I don't want to when the time comes!"
The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Mu Zheng said goodbye to Boss Ye and his family and left.
After getting in the car, Boss Ye finally couldn't help but ask, "Is this Boss Cheng running a martial arts school or an escort agency? I don't quite understand."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zheng said, "Boss Cheng's ancestors have practiced martial arts for generations, and it is said that one of their generations even produced a martial arts champion.
"Boss Cheng has practiced martial arts since he was a child. If he hadn't suffered a serious injury, he would have been able to try to participate in the martial arts examination.
"Fortunately, the Cheng family was well-off, so he opened his own martial arts school after he came of age.
"Because he is a righteous man, the martial arts school attracts many people who practice martial arts.
"Seeing that some people were in dire straits, Boss Cheng came up with an idea. He used his connections in Beijing to take on some bodyguard jobs, and then he would come back and see who wanted to go.
“If there are not enough people, he won’t force those who have been under his care to participate, so he will occasionally go out to find extra people.
“So it’s not entirely true to say that his house is a martial arts school now, it also houses some martial arts people.
“It’s not accurate to call it an escort agency, after all, they don’t openly solicit business.
"That's probably what happened, you just need to know it."
Boss Ye finally understood what was going on and nodded, saying, "It seems that Boss Cheng is quite a righteous man."
"Yes, he's a good person, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bring you together to work together."
As they were talking, the carriage quickly returned to the Cen Mansion.
As soon as everyone entered the yard, they smelled a fragrance.
Mu Zheng took a deep breath and said familiarly, "It smells so good! Brother Meng, what delicious food did your grandfather make?"
"Grandpa is stewing fish maw and chicken!" Meng Yu was also swallowing his saliva desperately.
"Pepper..." Mu Zheng was a little disappointed when he heard that.
"What's wrong with fish maw? It's very nutritious!" Meng Yu thought Mu Zheng had never eaten good food, and even explained, "This is not ordinary fish maw, it's the top-grade fish maw that my grandfather treasures.
"But you don't need to be greedy. This is something the old man specially stewed for Miss Qingtian to nourish her body.
"If there's any left, maybe we can share some."
"Can Sichuan peppercorns nourish the body? Doesn't the smell seem strong?" Mu Zheng became more and more confused the more he listened.
In the end, it was Mrs. Ye who discovered that the two of them were talking at cross purposes.
"The fish maw Xiao Meng is talking about is a dried product made from fish bladders that have been cut open and dried. The Sichuan peppercorns Lord Mu is talking about are the spice Sichuan peppercorns. Naturally, they are different."
"Oh, isn't this ridiculous!" Meng Yu laughed. "Adding Sichuan peppercorns to stir-fried chicken is okay, but there's no such thing as stewing chicken with Sichuan peppercorns."
Mr. Cen was busy in the kitchen for more than an hour, and finally brought to the table a pot of fish maw and chicken soup that was still boiling slightly, as well as four dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.
"Come, Qingtian, let's eat!" Old Cen greeted Qingtian and ignored Mu Zheng who came to eat for free.
Mu Zheng was thick-skinned and followed them into the house with a smile. After everyone else sat down, he sat down at the bottom of the table closest to the door, waiting for dinner to start in an extremely obedient manner.
Boss Ye had never seen Mu Zheng like this before, and he wanted to laugh.
Mrs. Ye even discovered that Mu Zheng's expression at this moment was simply imitating Qingtian.
You know what, they actually do look quite similar.
