Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He entered the room one after another, lit the candles on the square table, and sat down beside them.

Compared to the cold wind blowing in the yard, their house was much warmer. Ruan He rubbed his arms that were covered in goosebumps by the cold wind and exhaled a few breaths of hot air.

A cloak fell on her shoulders smoothly. Mu Yunxiao immediately took it out from the cabinet on the side after entering the house, and covered Ruan He firmly, for fear that she would catch cold.

As early as when the two of them were standing in the yard, Mu Yunxiao noticed her little movements of rubbing her hands and feet from time to time, and he always remembered this incident.

All things are not as important as her health.

With the warmth all over his body, Ruan He stretched out his curled hands from his sleeves and placed them on the table in front of him. Then he held his chin and lay lazily on his back, thinking about how to deal with it. Today's incident.

Since Shopkeeper Qiu had become suspicious of her and even hired someone to follow and monitor her, there was no need to continue their cooperation.

What makes Ruan He a little troubled now is that if he rashly terminates the cooperation with Shopkeeper Qiu, he will not know where to find the next partner. Moreover, their grocery store's purchasing channels also rely on Shopkeeper Qiu to a large extent.

But Ruan He was not one to compromise. Shopkeeper Qiu's hiring someone to follow her was almost like breaking her skin. She would not tolerate it just to protect the reasons at hand.

Besides... Shopkeeper Qiu came here just for the Wendan tree, and she really couldn't explain the origin of the Wendan tree, so there was no way she could continue to sell the Wendan fruit well.

As Ruan He's thoughts were racing, a calm and low-pitched questioning voice rang from the side. She raised her eyes and looked over, and when she met Mu Yunxiao's gentle and dark eyes, she paused, and her thoughts were subconsciously interrupted. Come.

"Xiao He, what's going on with Shopkeeper Qiu?"

Mu Yunxiao hoped that he could help Ruan He find a way to deal with these complicated matters at home, so he asked after careful consideration.

"Shopkeeper Qiu suspected that the wendan fruit I sold... was a pink-fleshed pomelo. He doubted the origin of my wendan fruit. I couldn't tell him that it was grown in space, so I just said it was a tree species found in the wild, so ... He became suspicious and hired someone to follow me. In the final analysis, he just wanted to find out the source of Na Wendan."

Ruan He carefully explained the reason for the matter to Mu Yunxiao, showed a slightly distressed look, and said hesitantly: "The trouble now is that if I break up with Shopkeeper Qiu, I won't be able to find a suitable partner for the time being. We have cooperative merchants, and the grocery store also relies on Shopkeeper Qiu’s channels and connections to purchase goods, so we cannot cut off the supply of goods...otherwise the grocery store will not be able to continue operating."

Listening to Ruan He's words carefully, Mu Yunxiao considered it thoughtfully for a moment, then tapped his fingertips on the table and said in a deep voice: "We can borrow the power of the city lord..."

Relying on the power of the city lord to suppress Shopkeeper Qiu, he is not afraid that he will secretly hate Ruan He, and can also take the opportunity to choose a more suitable business partner.

"Using power to bully others?" Ruan He suddenly raised his eyebrows, glanced at him teasingly, curled his lips, and said intentionally: "I didn't expect you would come up with such a plan?"

She thought that the upright General Mu Da would not come up with such a crooked way. Naturally, Ruan He felt that this strategy was particularly suitable.They were originally exiled prisoners from outside the city, and were basically regarded as particularly low-level partners by the businessmen in the county. If Ruan He did not rely on the power of the city lord, it would be difficult for Ruan He to find suitable business partners.

Before Mu Yunxiao could respond, Ruan He did not embarrass him. He chuckled jokingly, nodded with satisfaction and agreed: "What you said makes sense. With the friendship between you two brothers and the old man, , the city lord will not deny us this face, and he will use his momentum to break up with shopkeeper Qiu, and also let the businessmen in the county take a look at our Mu family. The backers behind our Mu family are the city lord's mansion and the old man. After two clicks, no one dared to charge me a low price for my goods..."

After it was settled, Ruan He stood up, yawned, and extinguished the candle on the table. As soon as her body relaxed, sleepiness came over her one after another. She drowsily talked to Mu Yunxiao. He waved casually, then lay down and fell asleep comfortably.

……

The side courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was bustling with activity at this time, and many people were standing there.

After Ruan He made up his mind, accompanied by the two brothers Mu Yunxiao, they forced the uninvited guest Xiao Liuzi into the city lord's palace and handed it over to the city lord to make the decision.

The city lord agreed to do this, and he happened to have nothing to do, so he immediately sent someone to bring shopkeeper Qiu to the city lord's mansion.

You must know that according to the laws of Yue City, breaking into other people's homes without authorization or stalking and peeping like last night will not be legal if it is reported to the government.

The old man was a man of temperament. After hearing the general situation from Mu Yunchao, he came over with great interest to join in the fun. He did not interfere with his son's decision and simply asked the boy to move to a comfortable place. He sat casually on the Taishi chair and looked at it quietly.

The city lord glanced at his old man helplessly and understood that his own father had such a temperament that he would not sit on the main seat no matter what, so he moved a chair to sit in the corner and watch.

He had no choice but to cough lightly, and accompanied by the butler, he sat down on the main seat in the main hall and said in a deep voice: "Is the person here?"

The city lord deliberately chose the side courtyard of his house for this interrogation, mainly to avoid being too cold and solemn. After all, this was not a serious matter of murder and arson. He also guessed the reason why the Mu family wanted to find him, so he was happy to help them with this favor. .

Just because the two Mu brothers saved the old man's life, the city lord was happy to help them.

Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He were waiting calmly aside, waiting quietly, lowering their eyes and remaining silent.

As expected, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were quick and tidy, and within a short while, they had brought Shopkeeper Qiu to the City Lord's Mansion.

Shopkeeper Qiu didn't seem to realize what had happened. When he was brought over by the guards in confusion and anxiety, his heart was still trembling, and he was thinking about what he had done to offend the Lord of the City...

Along the way, it goes without saying that Shopkeeper Qiu was suffering in his heart. Especially when he entered the side courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, it was even harder to suppress the fear in his heart. (End of chapter)
