Chapter 186 Jealous

  Everyone present had different concerns, and the only unhappy person was Princess Yongjia.

  She spent a hundred thousand taels of silver to take pictures of the delicacies and delivered them to Zhou Mu, but Zhou Mu never even looked at her.

  No matter what she said, Zhou Mu didn't answer her and treated her like nothing, so what's the point of her paying a sky-high price for this dish?

  Because of Zhou Mu's indifference, she regretted that she took a photo of this dish.

   Now that she calmed down, she realized that she only brought 60,000 yuan, and all her private money was here, and she also advanced part of it to her mother.

   She borrowed the 40,000 taels of silver note from King Zhao, and she had to pay it back anyway. How would she tell her mother that she bought a dish for 100,000 taels when she returned to the Hou Mansion?

   Don't say that other people look at Princess Yongjia with weird eyes, even Zhao Wang, who spends money like water, sighs himself.

  Although he is also crazy, he is not as crazy as Princess Yongjia. At most, he only spent 20,000 yuan to take a picture of a dish, which was stimulated by Xu Yanqing.

   Princess Yongjia spent a lot of money to bid for the auction today. Isn't this equivalent to giving money to Jixianglou?

   Calm down, King Zhao calculated carefully, and found that he had spent 100,000 taels in the past two days to fulfill his appetite.

  His annual salary and salary add up to about 20,000 taels, plus the money received from other industries in a year, the total is about 100,000 taels.

  So he spent a whole year's income for a few dishes in these two days?

  If Royal Father knew about this, he might break his leg.

   King Zhao, who came to his senses after realizing it, approached Princess Yongjia and said in a low voice, "I will accompany you to get the money later, you can't default on it."

   "Can't I pay you back next month?" Princess Yongjia's face was not very good-looking.

   "No way! I'm short on money, so you can pay me back today, or I'll go with you to see my aunt." King Zhao is not a gentleman, and he doesn't have much friendship with Princess Yongjia, so naturally he won't back down.

  Princess Yongjia looked at the dish that hadn't been touched yet, and asked someone to pack it in a food box, planning to take it back and give it to her mother to eat.

  Princess Yongjia was still looking at Zhou Mu before leaving, but Zhou Mu didn't give her a look, which made her very disappointed.

   Looking at Gu Xiyan who was standing next to Zhou Mu with a happy face, the more she thought about it, the more she hated it.

  If Gu Xiyan hadn't repeatedly raised the price, why would she suddenly spend 100,000 taels on a dish?

  As soon as Princess Yongjia and King Zhao were taken advantage of and left, everyone started talking, and the focus of the discussion was on the two who had just left. Everyone thinks that those who have daughters cannot marry King Zhao, and those who have sons cannot marry Princess Yongjia, or they will lose their fortunes sooner or later.

  After Gu Xiyan made a fortune, she felt refreshed. When she calmed down, she finally realized that Zhou Mu was too silent today.

  It seems that since she and Princess Yongjia started bidding, Zhou Mu has no sense of existence. He doesn't even realize his existence when he doesn't open his mouth.

   At this moment, Su Ho suddenly came over, sat down in the seat of Princess Yongjia just now, and asked her directly: "Just now Miss Gu deliberately raised the price with Yongjia, right?"

  Gu Xiyan knew that what she had done was obvious and it was easy to reveal her secrets, but in order to raise enough money, she didn't care too much.

  Even if people know that she is the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper of Jixianglou, she is mentally prepared.

  Su Ho could see it, and Zhou Mu must have seen it too, so Zhou Mu was quieter than usual just now, maybe I'm still waiting to hear her explanation.

   "What does it have to do with you?" Gu Xiyan didn't take it seriously, and didn't look Su Ho squarely.

  Su Ho looked at Gu Xiyan with a half-smile: "You really did it on purpose. If Princess Yongjia knew that you deliberately tricked her, how do you think she will deal with you?!"

   "Miss Su can do whatever she wants, I don't want to say a word to a villain like you." Gu Xiyan took a sip of tea leisurely.

  Su Ho laughed when he heard the words, and his meaningful eyes fell on Zhou Mu's face at the side: "Then miss Gu doesn't care what Mr. Zhou thinks about this matter, how does she think about miss Gu?"

   Zhou Mu put down the teacup suddenly, his expressionless eyes fixed on Su Ho's face.

  Su Ho's scalp was numb from Zhou Mu's cold eyes, and his hands and feet were also cold.

"What are you, dare to point fingers at Xi Yan?! A woman like you who lost her virginity before marriage and has no sense of shame and etiquette, actually has the face to gossip about others?!" Zhou Mu's deep eyes are like a thousand years of cold pool , revealing a bone-biting coldness.

  His ruthless words immediately made everyone's eyes fall on Su Ho's face.

   Everyone's strange eyes made Su Ho feel extremely embarrassed.

  The ancient times were no more than modern times, and they were especially harsh on women, and losing their virginity before marriage was even more condemned by thousands of people.

  Under the crowd watching, she felt ashamed and angry.

She obviously wanted Zhou Mu to see Gu Xiyan's true face clearly, and it would be best to force Zhou Mu to withdraw from Gu Xiyan's marriage again. Humiliated her in front of many people, embarrassing her.

  Xu Yanqing was also watching the fun, took a peanut shell and threw it at Su Ho.

  Others followed suit when they saw this, throwing debris on Su Ho one after another, forcing Su Ho to flee, and soon disappeared in Jixiang Tower.

  As soon as Su Ho, the troublemaker, left, Gu Xiyan began to worry about herself.

  Zhou Mu's ruthless words just now made her tremble with fear, she was afraid that Zhou Mu would accumulate a lot of anger and focus the firepower on her later.

   Zhou Mu got up at this time, glanced at Gu Xiyan and said, "It's getting late, come home with me."

  Gu Xiyan didn't dare to object, and obediently followed Zhou Mu down the second floor.

   Seeing her following behind Zhou Mu like a little daughter-in-law, Xu Yanqing and Dong Yong sighed at the same time.

  The two looked at each other, and then looked away in disgust.

  In that room, Gu Xiyan followed Zhou Mu into the carriage, and took the initiative to talk: "How about I cook a delicacy for the young master? My cooking is also delicious, not worse than Jixianglou."

   "What is your relationship with shopkeeper Wu, why do you help him like this?" Zhou Mu's faint gaze fell on Gu Xiyan's soft and beautiful profile.

  Gu Xiyan blinked her eyelashes, thinking to herself, how could he be sure that she was helping Wu Tong, not Wu Tong helping her?

  Of course, she didn't dare to talk poorly in front of Zhou Mu.

"With your temperament, you will never fight to the death with Princess Yongjia for a dish. It is just an excuse for you to bid for that dish for me. The purpose is to anger Princess Yongjia, let her help you raise the price, and finally stimulate She spent 100,000 taels to order a dish." Zhou Mu said again in a low voice.

  He didn't have a harsh tone, but it just made Gu Xiyan's heart tense.

"It is clear that she said that she has taken a fancy to the young master, and said that she would ask His Majesty to marry him and be his wife. I was angry when I heard that, so I decided to teach her a little lesson in this way." Gu Xiyan said, looking up Hold your chest out and tell Zhou Mu that you are not guilty at all.

   As for helping Wu Tong, this matter is not true, because Wu Tong is helping her.

   Zhou Mu didn't expect this to happen, the chill on his body dissipated, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Are you jealous, girl?"

  —

  Rolling all over the floor, playing and begging for a monthly pass!
