Chapter 225 Zhou Mu Laughed Angrily at Her

"The day you lied about going to see Miss Su, you didn't return home until nightfall. In fact, you went to Jixianglou. Because there are a lot of preparations for the food festival, you have to take care of everything, so you are so busy Evening. If there is no accident, the four sisters of the Liu family were also used by you. You know that they like you and oppose you, so you take them to the food festival and let them build momentum for you. The palace dim sum sold out and got off to a good start. Of course, Princess Yongjia's participation in the auction was a surprise, and you deliberately provoked her, and you made more than one hundred thousand taels from her alone." Speaking of this, Zhou Mu's deep eyes became dark and unpredictable: "Xiyan, do you know what your biggest weakness is?"

There are so many flaws in Gu Xiyan's mind, how could there be even bigger flaws discovered by him?

She really couldn't think of any flaws, so she replied obediently: "I don't know."

Seeing her quiet and well-behaved appearance, Zhou Mu's heart felt hot, and he couldn't help but want to hug her, but he couldn't fall into her beauty trap at this time.

"The dish you made is soaring to the sky. Since it is a palace secret dish, how can it be easily reproduced by you? The fragrance you made is exactly the same as the one photographed by Princess Yongjia, although I have never tried it. The dish of the Yongjia princess, but I believe that even the taste is the same. So there is only one possibility, and you created this dish yourself."

Gu Xiyan was at a loss for words for a moment, and it took her a while to argue: "Aren't I allowed to be talented in cooking? I can do whatever I learn."

Zhou Mu looked at her indifferently, obviously not believing her words.

Facing Zhou Mu's see-through eyes, Gu Xiyan was finally defeated: "Jixiang Tower is one of the dowries prepared for my mother before she passed away. It was built ten years ago. And my mother passed away in the year I was born, and there was a six-year gap. No one would have thought that I was the real owner of Jixianglou. I only found out two years ago that the shopkeeper Wu of Jixianglou had been treated by me. Mother's favor, he used to be in the restaurant business, but because he was murdered by a traitor, it was difficult for him to support his family."

After a pause, she continued:
"That year my mother was waiting in her boudoir, and the Gu family was in business. My mother was not short of money, and saved the shopkeeper Wu's family at a critical moment. Since then, shopkeeper Wu has been doing things for my mother. It's a pity that my mother married I passed away not long after I was born in Wanqinghou’s Mansion, and my mother’s plan to build a restaurant for me was not implemented in time. Shopkeeper Wu stayed in the capital for several years after my mother’s death, and finally found a chance to bring the restaurant to me. The building was opened. When I was 14 years old, I realized that Jixiang Building was the dowry my mother wanted to give me. So when I was called by the Queen Mother to question me, I was not afraid, after all, I never really meant it. I have directly operated the Jixiang Restaurant, but I have occasionally made suggestions, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant was originally Wu Tong."

"It's no wonder that the reputation of Jixianglou gradually spread two years ago. It turned out to be your credit." Zhou Mu was thoughtful.

Gu Xiyan was ashamed: "I just happened to do a little research on food, so I gave some advice to shopkeeper Wu. The business of Jixianglou was not bad before, but it lacked some features. The capital is also a place where rich and powerful people gather, and many noble people It’s not bad for money, as long as the dishes are fresh and taste great, it’s not bad for diners to patronize. Then I came up with a way, every month Jixiang Restaurant must produce a new dish, so that diners have the opportunity to try new dishes, and let diners Diners think about Jixianglou every month..."

Zhou Mu listened intently, secretly thinking that since she rarely went out of the Marquis Mansion in the past, where did she get these insights?It's not always what it seems in the book.

Gu Xiyan talked for a long time before realizing that Zhou Mu was too quiet.

"Xiyan, you don't seem to have asked me who was in my family, nor why I grew up in Fallen Immortal Temple." Zhou Mu took a sip of tea and opened his lips calmly.

Gu Xiyan's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly thought it was over.

She didn't notice such a flaw by herself, and it was only after he reminded her that she discovered the problem.

If she hadn't made this marriage with Zhou Mu, it would be reasonable for her not to inquire about his family background, but they were engaged, and they were going to get married in February next year, but she didn't mention his family at all.

It doesn't make sense at all.

Seeing Gu Xiyan's confused face, Zhou Mu couldn't help but smile: "Did you know my identity earlier?"

Gu Xiyan opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"I remember going to the Fallen Immortal Temple on the ninth day of September. You seem to be familiar with the terrain of the Fallen Immortal Temple. You found the Bamboo Garden without me leading the way..."

Gu Xiyan laughed dryly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to suppress her shock: "Then, that was just a coincidence, I just walked around blindly, and somehow I ended up in front of the bamboo garden."

Zhou Mu took a deep look at his girl, she made such an excuse so insincerely.

"Do you know my identity?!" Zhou Mu asked the same question again.

He guessed that this girl probably wouldn't answer honestly.

The facts were just as he had guessed, the girl blinked her beautiful almond eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered like wings, obviously a little nervous.

She looked left and right with beautiful eyes, and said softly: "According to your bearing and character, you should be either rich or noble. Because you didn't take the initiative to speak up, I was thinking that if you want to talk, you will naturally tell me. If you don't want to Said, even if I asked, the young master would not answer."

Zhou Mu smiled angrily: "You and I are going to get married next year. At that time, you will be my wife. Husband and wife will become one. Is it possible that you and I will get married, and you don't want to know who my parents are?!"

He stared at Gu Xiyan's eyes, Gu Xiyan's eyes dodged a little.

She knew that she had revealed the truth, but how would she explain knowing his identity?You can't tell him that she came back from rebirth, and she stayed with him for the rest of her life in the previous life, right?
Not to mention that other people think it is absurd, if she hadn't experienced it herself, she would not believe that there are such bizarre things in this world.

Anyway, as long as she beats her to death and refuses to admit it, he has nothing to do with her.

"I want to know who are the young master's parents, and why the young master grew up in the Fallen Immortal Temple, would the young master be willing to tell me?!" Gu Xiyan simply met Zhou Mu's gaze and asked frankly.

Zhou Mu couldn't help but go up to Gu Xiyan's tender cheeks and pinch her twice to vent her anger: "You clearly knew my identity a long time ago!"

Gu Xiyan replied with an innocent face: "Master, what you said is really unreasonable. I am not a roundworm in your stomach, how can I know your identity? Yes, according to what you mean, there is a lot of history behind your identity?"

Zhou Mu looked at her helplessly, not knowing what to do with her who was a scoundrel.

Seeing Zhou Mu's helpless look, Gu Xiyan suppressed a smile and said: "If the status of the young master is too noble, how can I, a down-and-out lady, be worthy of the young master?"
