Chapter 190 Zhou Mu's Cannibalistic Eyes

"Well, I won't look for that. Young master wash up first, and he will go to the yamen to be on duty later." Yin Nanny hurriedly replied.

Zhou Mu went to the well in silence, fetched water by himself, washed up, changed into a set of clothes and went out.

Nanny Yin took two buns and chased them out, but Zhou Mu didn't pick them up and got into the carriage.

In desperation, Nanny Yin gave the breakfast to Qi Zhiyuan.

Qi Zhiyuan has been with Zhou Mu for many years, and he has never seen his master look so decadent.When Mingming came to see him last night, the young master was still in high spirits, looking forward to his date with Miss Gu on the [-]th day.

Why did the young master seem to be robbed of his life after one night?
Until Zhou Mu entered the official office, Qi Zhiyuan failed to deliver the breakfast to Zhou Mu.

When dealing with official business, Zhou Mu was also absent-minded.The other colleagues saw it, and just when Xu Yanqing wanted to come over to check the records of Jixiang Building, he saw Zhou Mu's haggard face, and his eyes fixed.

"Master Zhou didn't rest well last night?" Xu Yanqing rarely asked.

In fact, these days when he knew Zhou Mu, Zhou Mu had always been estranged from others, and it was the first time he saw such a decadent side of Zhou Mu through the message that strangers should not get close to him.

He is obviously such a clean and outstanding person.

Zhou Mucai got engaged to Gu Xiyan, shouldn't he be high-spirited?
That was the person he couldn't touch no matter how much he thought of it.

"It's okay." Zhou Mu's eyes fixed on Xu Yanqing's face with scrutiny.

He suddenly thought, if he divorced Gu Xiyan, Xu Yanqing would marry her too.He could feel that Xu Yanqing liked Gu Xiyan very much.

If Xu Yanqing marries Gu Xiyan, Gu Xiyan will have a complete and happy marriage, at least she doesn't need to be a widow.

But he couldn't imagine the picture of her happily laughing in the arms of other men, and he was not so open-minded. On the premise that he liked Gu Xiyan so much, he could push her into the arms of other men...

Xu Yanqing's scalp was numb from Zhou Mu's icy eyes, people who didn't know thought he had robbed Zhou Mu's woman, otherwise why would Zhou Mu slowly kill him with his knife-like eyes?

In fact, it was Zhou Mu who snatched Gu Xiyan away, and this person had the nerve to goug him with such cannibalistic eyes.

"I, I'm here to check some information, and I'll be leaving soon." After Xu Yanqing finished speaking, she deliberately avoided Zhou Mu's sharp gaze.

But no matter how much he dodges, Zhou Mu's cold eyes still follow him everywhere.

When he found the record book of Jixianglou, he hurriedly walked away from Zhou Mu's sight.

Seeing the ghost, he was actually a little scared of Zhou Mu, obviously Zhou Mu looked harmless.

It took him a while to shake off his thoughts, check the records of Jixiang Building, and found that the shopkeeper who registered the records was indeed Wu Tong.

Moreover, this information is ten years old, and it is not a recent change.

In other words, the shopkeeper of Jixianglou has been Wu Tong since the establishment of the restaurant.

But his intuition told him that Gu Xiyan must have a close relationship with Wu Tong, and he even wondered if Gu Xiyan was really in charge of Jixianglou.

When he first met Gu Xiyan, he saw Wu Tong bowing and respecting Gu Xiyan. At that time, he didn't quite understand why Wu Tong respected Gu Xiyan so much.

But if the shopkeeper saluted the shopkeeper, wouldn't it make sense?
The food festival at Jixianglou was so successful this time, they earned about 30 taels in two days, right?Among them, if there is no key person like Gu Xiyan, many prices cannot be raised.

He also went out of his way to find some diners to ask how the pastry business started in the first place, and it turned out that Gu Xiyan and the Liu family sisters were making a fuss together. In less than half an hour, hundreds of boxes of palace secret pastries were sold out.

Because of Gu Xiyan, the key person, Jixianglou earned a full 2 taels by selling pastries.

So if Gu Xiyan is excluded, who would buy a box of 50 taels of pastries?If it wasn't for Gu Xiyan's deliberate stimulation, would Princess Yongjia spend 10 taels to bid for a dish?
Zhou Mu didn't realize it until after Xu Yanqing left, and asked his colleague who was going through the documents beside him, "What documents did Mr. Xu take just now?"

"The archives of Jixiang Building." The colleague answered truthfully.

Zhou Mu narrowed his eyes deeply.

Xu Yanqing was also investigating Jixiang Building, which meant that he also suspected that there was someone behind Wu Tong.

In the past two days, he watched the whole process of the Jixianglou auction, and Gu Xiyan played a key role. He suspected that the relationship between Gu Xiyan and Wu Tong was not simple, and he was deliberately helping Wu Tong to create momentum.

Therefore, he checked the records of Jixiang Building early in the morning, and also checked Wu Tong's life experience, and found that Wu Tong and Gu Xiyan were not related in any way. The registration records from years ago are not recent revisions.

He had doubts, and Xu Yanqing also had doubts, otherwise he wouldn't have checked Jixianglou specifically.

Gu Xiyan is the shopkeeper behind Jixianglou.

Only thinking of this possibility made Zhou Mu feel ridiculous.That girl looks so quiet, how could it be that she led this food festival?
However, there was another voice in his heart telling him that the girl had many secrets, even the day before the food festival, she came home so late, and he caught her right away.

If the place she went to was Jixianglou, and her real destination could not be known, wouldn't she have to find an excuse?So she lied that she went to Su Mansion to meet Su Mei.

In this way, all doubts seem to be explained.

If it is what he thinks, it means that Gu Xiyan earned 30 taels in two days, such ability is astounding.

That's right, that day in the carriage she asked Ruojixianglou's behind-the-scenes shopkeeper if he would take a fancy to her if she was a beauty. At that time, he replied that it was impossible, and that girl was not happy.

Thinking of this, he was probably sure that Gu Xiyan was the one behind Wu Tong's plan.

The colleague endured Zhou Mu's cold face for half an hour.After looking for the file this time, when he turned around, he saw Zhou Mu actually curling up his lips and smiling.

Ever since Zhou Mu entered the government office as a errand, no matter when and where, he is a beautiful scenery, because of his outstanding temperament and handsome appearance, but he has never seen Zhou Mu smiling.

At this moment, Zhou Mu smiled, as if the epiphyllum was in full bloom, so beautiful that it was shocking.

The word "beauty" fits well when used on a man.

While his colleagues were watching intently, the corners of Zhou Mu's upturned lips were suddenly flattened, and his face returned to ice, so cold that it could frostbite several people.Although it is still the same handsome face, people dare not get close to it.

Zhou Mu also realized belatedly that no matter how good Gu Xiyan is, he should not be the one to harm her.She deserves to have a complete life. If she follows him, what kind of life will she live?
Can't consummate the house, can't be a mother, which woman can endure such a life?
-

Injustice·Xu San: To be robbed of the woman I like by Zhou Mu, and to be gouged out by Zhou Mu's vicious eyes, is Zhou Mu seriously ill?
Serious Illness·Zhou Mu: I can marry Xiyan even if I am sick, so be jealous!
