Mu Yangzhi looked at Bai Tuantuan in astonishment: "There's someone behind him?"
"We need to find out whether it was intentional or unintentional." Bai Tuantuan frowned slightly and said slowly, "If it was intentional, then the person behind it is probably in the same line of work as the master."
Mu Yangzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he became nervous: "I hope not."
"Go back and rest first." Ning Nanxiao patted Mu Yangzhi on the shoulder. "Let's go."
"Nanxiao!"
Mu Yangzhi immediately hugged Ning Nanxiao's arm, looking at her pitifully, "Nanxiao, Nanxiao, I'll sleep with you!"
Ning Nanxiao was speechless: "Let go of me!"
"I won't let go! I'd rather die than let go! You want me to sleep with you!"
What a joke! If they really were those insidious people, it would be safer for them to follow Ning Nanxiao.
Ning Nanxiao's lips twitched. Looking at Bai Tuantuan, who was laughing heartily beside him, he took a deep breath and said, "Fine, you'll regret it."
Mu Yangzhicai ignored everything else and pulled Ning Nanxiao directly into the room.
Bai Tuantuan followed, and after entering the room, she frowned; something was wrong.
The two people, a ladle and an iron pot, walked directly out of the space.
“This room has been occupied before.” Tangshao touched the table, then looked down and pulled out an earring. “It was a woman.”
Iron Pot raised an eyebrow: "That's not right. These rooms are specially reserved for the owner. Why would other people be staying here? Er Dong Restaurant doesn't have guest rooms, and the waiters' rooms aren't here either, Tuan Tuan?"
Bai Tuantuan sat down, picked up her teacup, and smelled it: "Rose lip balm."
The three of them walked around the room. Although it had been cleaned very thoroughly, they could still find some clues, such as long hair and a girl's handkerchief.
"This room is the best furnished. Every Erdong Restaurant has a room like this. Chen Xiaoran said that this room was specially reserved for the women in his family."
"Yes, everything here is decorated according to your preferences, but wait, that's not right!"
Tangshao quickly walked to the table, touched it, and asked in confusion, "I remember that other Erdong restaurants have a vase here, why isn't there one here?"
"That vase is only available in the Bai family; you can't buy it anywhere else!"
Bai Tuantuan looked over, her expression slightly darkening: "Yes, the vase was specially made by Fifth Uncle."
The ladle and the iron pot exchanged a glance, and then the ladle said, "The good news is that it may have really been an accidental disruption of the formation; the bad news is that it was an inside job."
Bai Tuantuan brought a soup ladle and an iron pot directly into the space: "As long as it's not those people."
Seeing that Bai Tuantuan had already started cultivating cross-legged, the two of them didn't say anything and also entered into cultivation.
Meanwhile, Mu Yangzhi glared angrily at Ning Nanxiao: "You're utterly inhuman! We're brothers who grew up wearing the same pair of pants! You want me to sleep on a bench? What's wrong with me sleeping on the bed? If you continue like this, I'll talk bad about you to Tuantuan and make sure you can't get a wife!"
"Cough cough!"
Ning Nanxiao choked on her tea and looked at Mu Yangzhi in shock: "You?"
Mu Yangzhi became smug: "Hmph, don't think I don't know. I can see it clearly. Tell me, when did you start having feelings for Tuantuan?"
Ning Nanxiao put down her teacup, raised an eyebrow at Mu Yangzhi, and asked, "Did Uncle Huang say that?"
Mu Yangzhi's smile vanished instantly: "You! How did you guess that?"
"Tsk." Ning Nanxiao glanced at Mu Yangzhi. "With a brain like yours, you think you could come up with that?"
Mu Yangzhi wasn't annoyed. He moved closer to Ning Nanxiao and said, "Then tell me, when did you start having feelings for Tuantuan? Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone else."
Ning Nanxiao lowered her eyes. When?
Past lives and present lives.
It's been a long time.
"Hey, we're brothers, can't you just tell me?" Mu Yang rolled his eyes when Ning Nanxiao didn't speak. "Tell me!"
Ning Nanxiao looked at Mu Yangzhi speechlessly: "Just these few days."
Mu Yangzhi touched his chin: "That's true, but you've been together since you were little, it's normal to have feelings for each other. Good brother, keep it up!"
Mu Yangzhi smiled and said, "I don't think Tuantuan has that kind of feeling for you."
“Yes!” Ning Nanxiao sighed. “She has never been interested in that.”
Erdong Restaurant has returned to its former bustling state.
Many people asked the shopkeeper why he closed the shop in the morning, and the shopkeeper just laughed it off.
Not long after, a woman in a green dress walked over with a faint smile on her face: "Father, have our distinguished guests arrived?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, the innkeeper frowned and glared at her: "Didn't I tell you not to come? Go home and stay there first, and come back after they leave."
The girl pouted and said unhappily, "I just came to take a look. I want to play on that swing. Dad, please let me in!"
"No! The swing needs to be taken down."
"What?" The woman looked at the shopkeeper in shock and said anxiously, "Why? Dad, that's a swing that I worked so hard to make, I don't want to take it apart!"
"Shut up!"
The innkeeper pulled the woman aside: "Cui'er, have some sense! This Erdong Restaurant isn't ours, do we have the right to say these things? The boss is already angry. If you lose this job because of this, you'll have nowhere to cry!"
Cui'er frowned and said dismissively, "Father, it's not as scary as you make it out to be. It's just a swing."
"And the vegetables you planted! You sold the pear tree! By the way, you didn't touch anything in the room, did you?"
Cui'er's eyes were a little flustered, but she was still defiant: "What could I have moved? I didn't move anything, and I've packed everything up. Don't worry, Father. There are so many things in that room, you won't notice if one or two are missing. Don't worry, Father, nothing will happen."
As she spoke, Cui'er glanced at the customers in the Er Dong Restaurant, her eyes shining: "There are quite a few customers today. Father, give me some silver, I want to go out and listen to opera!"
The shopkeeper glared at Cui'er: "The master will check the accounts. I can't pay you today. We'll talk about it after the master leaves."
Cui'er was unhappy, but she didn't say anything more and could only turn and leave.
Watching his daughter's retreating figure, the shopkeeper rubbed his temples and resignedly erased the numbers on the ledger.
That evening, Ning Chengzhu also arrived.
"all the best!"
Ning Chengzhu said with a smile, "Shall we eat first? I'm starving after traveling all this way!"
Hearing Ning Chengzhu's unrestrained tone, everyone smiled and went to the front hall.
Bai Tuantuan spotted Cui'er next to the shopkeeper at a glance.
The innkeeper glared at Cui'er, then cupped his hands in greeting and led everyone into the side room.
Cui'er turned her head and looked at these rich and noble people with curiosity and envy in her eyes.
When their gaze fell on Ning Nanxiao's face, their eyes were filled with amazement!
Soon, a thought surfaced in my mind...
