Du Shiyi's heart was in a mess. "Do you think you can see Du Shuai? Don't forget, you are just an exiled prisoner, a prisoner!"
Even they rarely see Du Shuai. Du Shuai is always stationed on the front line of the border and only goes home during the Chinese New Year.
He kept bringing up Mu Wanqing's identity, which showed that he was afraid.
In terms of IQ and means, he is not as good as Mu Wanqing. Mu Wanqing's only weakness is her identity.
Even if an exiled prisoner who is as lowly as a blade of grass is killed, no one will pursue the matter, let alone file a complaint.
Compared to his extreme anger, Mu Wanqing was particularly calm, "So what? Didn't I still beat you? I am the only one who wants to do it. There is nothing I can't do."
She is confident and outspoken, with full confidence that comes from her strength.
Before, Du Shiyi could gain respect as long as he showed his status, and countless women threw themselves at him, but this time he hit a wall.
"You...I won't let you go."
Mu Wanqing's eyes turned cold. "Three times is the limit. You brothers have already wasted twice. I left enough room. The next time... there will be blood everywhere, but I promise that I will not be the one to die."
She was so arrogant, but everyone present believed that she had the ability.
Du Shiyi was inexplicably excited. "Mu Wanqing, I heard that Mu Zhongde is not dead, but escaped with his family. Do you know what this means? You, the Mu family, have committed crimes upon crimes. Even if I execute you..."
This was originally the trump card to control the Mu family, and it would not be used until the last moment.
Unexpectedly, Mu Wanqing was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty knows."
Du Shiyi's expression changed drastically, "What?"
Mu Wanqing said calmly and calmly, "I have already written to tell him whether he will be convicted or executed. That is the king's right. Du Shiyi, you have overstepped your authority."
It was like a bolt of thunder, and everyone was stunned.
Mu Wanqing looked at the Du family members calmly, her brows slightly cold, "For the sake of the Du family's generations of martyrs, I remind you to abide by the rules of a subject. After all, when the king is angry, corpses will be scattered all over the place."
Du Shiyi's heart trembled, but he refused to admit defeat, "Who do you think you are? You even wrote a letter to the emperor. Who would believe such nonsense..."
His mouth was covered by a big hand, and Mu Qi glared at him fiercely, "Shut up, Miss Mu, Eleven is a brainless warrior, we will discipline him well, please don't take it to heart."
Mu Wanqing knew that honest advice was unpleasant to the ears, so she had said everything she needed to say. As for whether or not the advice was heard, that was not her concern.
"The rise of a family is often the result of the efforts of several generations, but its decline... only requires one unworthy descendant. That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself. Goodbye."
She nodded slightly, then floated away, her figure straight, her head held high, and her every move revealed a sense of arrogance that was not found in ordinary people.
She has a variety of manners and is indescribably elegant and confident.
As soon as she left, Du Qi let go of his hand that was covering his mouth. Du Shiyi was so angry, "Brother Qi, you don't really believe it, do you? How is that possible?"
Du Qi looked very serious. "She has great ambitions and is decisive in killing people. I see the qualities of a general in her. You and I cannot offend such a person."
Her ability to control the situation and control people's hearts is shocking.
Du Shiyi looked at him in disbelief, "Seventh Brother, what are you talking about?"
Du Qi never cared about these things, but he was keenly aware of Mu Wanqing's lethality.
She can ruin Du Shiyi's reputation and kill a few people.
In her eyes, there was neither respect nor fear for the Du family.
This kind of person only believes in himself.
"How can a woman become the head of a large family and build a snack street in Liangcheng? What do you think is her basis?"
How could Du Shiyi admit his failure? "She has the ability to deceive others."
Du Qi looked at him with pity. He thought too highly of himself, but fell into the hands of the woman he despised the most. This was enough to make him suffer.
"She is extremely intelligent. You are no match for her."
Du Shiyi was very unwilling to accept this. "You seem to have forgotten one thing. What is her identity? No matter how smart and capable she is, it doesn't matter. She will never be able to turn things around in this life. No matter how well the snack street does, it doesn't matter if it's registered under someone else's name. In fact, she has nothing. She can only make wedding clothes for others all her life."
He tried to persuade the brothers in the clan, "If that's the case, why can't you make wedding clothes for our Du family?"
As long as everyone works together and mobilizes the entire Du family’s resources, how could we not be able to subdue Mu Wanqing?
Some people were tempted, but Du Qi was unmoved. "The premise is that you have the ability to control her. Do you have it? I don't, and no one in the clan has it. Don't forget how the head of the Zhou family died?"
The head of the Zhou family was too cruel and was killed by his slaves. This is the backlash.
Du Shiyi's expression changed several times, "But I have offended her."
Du Qi frowned slightly, "She has no ill will towards us Du family. On the contrary, she has a good impression of us. If you don't provoke her, she won't act rashly."
There was still something she didn't say. Mu Wanqing didn't take Du Shiyi seriously at all.
He simply kept an eye on the Du brothers himself to prevent them from getting overwhelmed and making the same mistake again.
There is no need to hold grudges, it's not worth it.
After this incident, the ban was lifted, and Mu Wanqing was able to walk out of the inn with her clansmen openly, and they all flocked to the snack street to prepare for the opening.
This is also a sculpture that kills several birds with one stone.
The soldiers sent by Jiang Tongzhi did not go back, but continued to follow Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing had no objection. It didn't matter whether they were protecting or monitoring.
If you want to follow, just follow.
She sat on site, busy directing everyone's work. Every family had different needs, and endless problems emerged every day.
All the problems were easily resolved when they came to Mu Wanqing.
She is well-informed and none of this is a problem for her.
With her around, everyone feels at ease and everything goes smoothly.
At the nightly meeting, Mu Wanqing suddenly proposed, "I plan to hire a group of people and train them together. Anyone who needs help can sign up. Of course, you will pay for the wages."
Everyone looked at each other, somewhat bewildered. Hiring? "Are you hiring at home?"
Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Of course we have to hire. My eldest brother's milk tea shop needs four people, my second brother's egg cake shop needs three people, and my parents' braised food shop needs five people."
If you rely on yourself, you will be exhausted.
"Then... the secret recipe will leak out..." This is what makes everyone worried.
Mu Wanqing did what she was supposed to do and spread her hands. "I have taught you confidentiality courses. Just keep the core technology in your own hands. For example, in a braised food shop, you only need to master the marinade formula and let others do the other manual work. Of course, the needs of each shop are different, so it depends on the specific situation."
Okay, everyone should do it according to their own actual situation. Some may recruit people, while others may join the battle as a whole family without any outsiders.
Just like that, Mu Wanqing publicly recruited a group of maids, which immediately caused a sensation.
After selection, Mu Wanqing picked a group of poor women who were quick and hardworking. After unified ideological education and professional ethics training, they were assigned to various stores for a second round of skills training.
In the final sprint stage, Mu Wanqing went to each family one by one, checking their preparations, and giving a few pointers would greatly benefit everyone.
The day before the opening is an auspicious day for moving to a new house.
Led by Mu Wanqing, the Mu family held a simple yet grand housewarming ceremony and moved into their new home in a lively manner.
The rows of doors were neatly arranged, with no plaques but only house numbers. Opposite was a newly built high wall, leaving only enough space for two carriages to pass side by side, forming a long alley.
There is an iron gate guarding the entrance of the alley, and people take turns on duty every night. No outsiders are allowed to enter or leave, which greatly ensures everyone's safety.
Mu Wanqing took the arm of Mrs. Mu and pushed open the door and walked into their own house. What caught their eyes was a spacious courtyard.
The four houses in the backyard were connected to form a whole.
The yard was not paved with cement, but was turned into a vegetable garden. Looking at the lush vegetables, Master Mu felt particularly satisfied.
This was planted by him himself. He doesn't care about a flower garden, he just likes a small vegetable garden.
There are enough vegetables all year round. In the corner is a very clean toilet with two doors for men and women. This is the most satisfying place for the whole family.
There is no need to clean the toilet, there is a sewer, and it will be clean with just flushing.
"Qing'er, you are the smartest one. You collected so many seeds early on. We can grow leeks in batches all year round."
Mu Wanqing collected a lot of seeds and everything else at Boss Pan’s farm.
Now, it comes in handy.
Half was distributed to the tribesmen, and the other half was spread on the farms outside the city.
"I wonder what kind of fruit trees are suitable to grow here. I'm craving for some fruit."
She didn't see any fruits here, which was strange. Logically speaking, the geographical location here was suitable for the growth of fruit trees.
She has been busy and has no time to investigate.
Do things one by one, there's no rush.
Master Mu couldn't help but laugh, "It's the wrong season. Normally, September is the season when fruit trees mature."
This child must be greedy.
Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment. Well, this is not the modern society with advanced technology. Fruits are available all year round.
Well, I have discovered another untapped blue ocean market.
"Dad, Mom, I love it here."
There are four large rooms on the ground floor, one is used as a living room, one is used as a living and dining room, one is a study, and one is half kitchen and half front door.
There are four rooms upstairs, one for each of the three siblings, and one for Mr. Mu and his wife.
It wasn’t the first time that Mu Ziang saw his own bedroom, but he danced with joy every time.
There is a full set of customized furniture, with modular wardrobes lined up in a row, occupying one wall. It looks simple, but it is very practical.
Not only can you hang clothes, but you can also store various sundries.
Mu Wanqing pushed open the door of her bedroom. The layout of each room was the same, as were the furniture.
Only the bedding was different, according to their respective preferences. Mu Wanqing thought it was too troublesome to nail the quilt, so she made a four-piece bedding set.
She also rejected Madam Mu's suggestion to build her a step-out bed, and drew the blueprints herself to make a modern wooden bed.
Surrounded by modern furniture, she felt as if she had returned to the past.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Mu Zicheng's voice woke her up. She looked at her brother's worried eyes and smiled slightly, "I was thinking about what kind of dumplings to eat."
Really? Mu Zicheng was a little skeptical. His sister's expression just now was so strange, as if...she would disappear at any time.
He shook his head, getting rid of the ridiculous thoughts and the uneasiness. "This is simple. My father's dumplings are especially delicious. Let him make a few more kinds of fillings."
In fact, the one who did the best was Mu Wanqing.
But Mu Wanqing was too busy and too tired. She was busy from morning till late at night every day and fell asleep as soon as she was tired. She had no energy to cook.
"Okay, I'll go check next door first."
There were five of her stores next door, and she was too busy to spare any time, so she decided to wait a little longer.
On the other side is Yu Wanrou's residence. She copied everything from the Mu family except the bedroom.
The master and servant were filled with joy. All the people living here were members of the Mu family, and Mu Wanqing's family lived next door, so safety was not a problem.
"Miss, this is our home from now on. We don't have to wander around anymore. Even if the snack bar doesn't work out, we can rent it out to others. It will be enough for us, the master and the servant, to eat and drink. We should really thank Miss Mu."
This moment is one of genuine gratitude.
Yu Wanrou's eyes were curved, her heart was full of joy, everything looked pleasing to her. No one was putting pressure on her anymore, and she could decide for herself what to eat and drink.
"We should thank her. Let's make something delicious for her."
The nurse was a little embarrassed, "But we only know how to make Bo Zai Gao, and she's already tired of it."
She was tasting the food and pointed out anything wrong in time.
"It's time to learn how to cook in the future." Yu Wanrou looked at her hands.
The nurse frowned in disapproval, "Why bother? It's not convenient for the Mu family to buy people, and you are not restricted by this. It would be enough to buy a maid and an old woman in the kitchen."
Yu Wanrou refused without hesitation, "No, sister Wanqing doesn't use slaves, so how can I? If I try to be special, I will only be excluded."
"Oh, this..." The wet nurse thought about it and it made sense, but she felt so distressed when she thought about the young lady having to do housework.
"Sister Wanrou."
Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Wanrou hurried over to open the door.
Mu Wanqing didn't even go in, but stood outside the door, "I came to see if anyone needs help?"
"No, no, I've already helped a lot before. I'll make something delicious later and you can come over and eat it."
"Haha, bye, my family also makes delicious food."
Not only them, every family happily prepared delicious food to celebrate the housewarming, and they did not forget to feed Mu Wanqing a portion.
Just like that, Mu Wanqing received dozens of delicious dishes. She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry because she couldn't finish them.
The next day was the day the snack street opened, and it was also a day destined to go down in history.
It was the beginning of the prosperity of the Mu family, the beginning of the prosperity of Liangcheng, and the beginning of Mu Wanqing's rise to become the actual ruler of Xiliang.
But at this moment, no one knew that a day of ups and downs was slowly beginning.
The author has something to say:
It’s too late to edit it, so I’ll just post it here first. I’m covering my face. I’m suffering from procrastination.
