Seven Demons

Chapter 628 Cai Lan
The old man is also an extremely cunning and careful person. Although he had discovered that someone was following him just now, he didn't know who was following him. Of course, he didn't need to know who was following him, because the old man only wanted to use him .The first person the old man suspected was Mu Xiao who lived with him, because Mu Xiao was the closest to him, but the old man felt that Mu Xiao was just a poor young man, and his cultivation strength must not be very good, so relying on the old man's guess, Mu Xiao Judging by Xiao's strength, it is impossible to follow the old man.

However, after the old man came back safely, he still came to knock on Mu Xiao's door. The old man guessed that the follower was probably killed by the Cai family's guards. Even if he escaped, it would prove that the follower was a master If it turns out to be a master, it is absolutely impossible to be the shabby Mu Xiao, and Mu Xiao is in the room, so the old man is sure that the person following him is not Mu Xiao.

The old man went back to his room to rest, and within an hour, a group of guards came knocking on the door. Mu Xiao pretended to be woken up to open the door, and talked to the guards outside, asking the guards to come in and search A thief, and the old man pretended to be sleeping soundly, as if he hadn't been woken up at all.

The guards searched at will, and left without finding the culprit.

Mu Xiao and the old man continued to rest, and the next morning, as usual, the servants of the Cai family brought breakfast early in the morning.

Mu Xiao got up very early, this time he did not disappoint Mu Xiao, because the old man was sitting in the small hall to eat, Mu Xiao walked over and sat opposite to the old man, Mu Xiao took the lead to say hello, and said some topics about magic weapons, He wanted to let the old man show off one or two magic weapons, but the old man seemed not in a good mood today, so he didn't pay much attention to Mu Xiao.

Before the two of them finished eating, another person came outside. It was a guard of the Cai family. This guard was a woman. to see her.

The old man immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Your eldest lady is finally back, well, I can leave as long as this transaction is completed, take me to see your eldest lady."

Mu Xiao also stood up: "I am also waiting for Miss Cai Lan, let's go and meet her together!"

Led by a female guard, the two walked around the Cai family's mansion, and finally came to the outer door of a house in the central area of ​​the mansion. There were four guards standing outside the hall of the house. These four guards were all Girl, it can be seen that Cai Lan likes to have female guards by his side.

However, it seemed that there were almost nine people, all of whom were staying at Cai's house and waiting for Cai Lan.

Cai Lan is the only heir of the Cai family in the future, so the burden on Cai Lan's shoulders is very heavy, and Cai Lan has not failed the family's expectations. She takes care of the family business while practicing, so Cai Lan is very busy and often has to leave the iceberg. Wang Yu went to a distant place to do business.

In the hall of the house, nine people sat down one after another.

After a while, a tall and beautiful woman came out from the backstage of the hall. Her stride was relatively large, and her face looked a little tired. It could be seen that Cai Lan was not a delicate lady, but A strong woman with a little bit of ability.

Cai Lan was followed by a servant girl, who was holding a rectangular box in her hand, no one knew what was inside the box.

Sitting next to Mu Xiao and the old man, Mu Xiao is carefully looking at Cai Lan at this moment. Cai Lan was born as a noble lady, but she has ability and strength, so Mu Xiao knows that a woman as outstanding as Cai Lan will certainly not look at it. A poor boy from Shangwu Township.

Cai Lan sat on the high hall, she turned her head slightly and said, "Luying, order the servants to pour wine for these guests."

Hearing these words, Mu Xiao immediately understood that the one holding the rectangular box was Luying, the one who had an affair with Mr. Pana last night. At this moment, Luying did not dare to speak loudly, probably because she was following Behind Cai Lan.

After Luying gave the order, nine servants walked in quickly from outside the hall. The servants all held a jug in their hands and poured wine for all nine of them.

At this time, a gorgeously dressed young man who was sitting below stood up and said, "Thank you Miss Cai Lan for the fine wine. Miss Cai Lan is really a hero among women. I just came back to Cai's mansion and didn't take a short rest. Receive me and wait, I also ask Miss Cai Lan not to be too busy in the future, but take care of your body more."

After hearing the man's voice, Mu Xiao recognized that this gorgeously dressed young man is Mr. Pana. Mr. Pana looks handsome, and he is quite good at flattering. It seems that he is usually easy to please women, no wonder Luying likes him so desperately.

Cai Lan nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Panahao, for your concern. Everyone, everyone has been waiting for Cai Lan for a few days. I called everyone here today to solve some business matters together! Everyone, please tell me one by one. .”

Cai Lan spoke directly, straight to the point. For a while, everyone started talking. Of course, what everyone said was about business dealings with the Cai family, and the old man sitting next to Mu Xiao also talked about a deal.Cai Lan also seems to be relatively strong, and basically solved all the problems raised by everyone in just over an hour.There were only two people present who did not propose a business relationship, and that was Mu Xiao and Panahao.Although Mu Xiao was waiting for Cai Lan, but Mu Xiao's main purpose was not to discuss business, but to meet Cai Lan, because he and Cai Lan had a marriage contract, and Panahao also came to see Cai Lan.

Seeing that today's conversation is coming to an end.Panahao immediately stood up and said: "I haven't seen Miss Cai Lan for a long time, I miss you very much, after a while, I want to talk to Miss Cai Lan privately about something, I wonder if Miss Cai Lan will show her favor! "

Cai Lan hesitated for a while, and finally Cai Lan said: "I'm afraid I can't do it today. I have something to do after a while. If Mr. Pana has something to do, you can talk about it now, or talk about it another day!"

After speaking, Cai Lan waved to Luying and said a few words in Luying's ear.

Today, after everyone’s business discussions were finished, everyone dispersed. Just when Mu Xiao stood up and was about to leave, Luying suddenly came over and whispered in Mu Xiao’s ear, “My lady wants to see you. See you, come with me!"

Faced with Cai Lan's invitation, Mu Xiao certainly would not refuse, so he followed Luying and left the hall, and followed Luying around the mansion. After a while, Luying brought Mu Xiao to a courtyard. The yard is relatively large and has trees.

And there is a pond in the middle of the yard, but the weather on the coast of the North Sea is too cold, the water in the pond has already frozen into ice, and there is a small pavilion beside the pond, where a woman with an extremely beautiful back is playing the piano, The voice is very beautiful and pleasant.

Mu Xiao followed behind Lu Ying, the woman in the back was obviously Cai Lan, Cai Lan had already changed into a long green dress, Cai Lan seemed to be talking seriously, Lu Ying didn't bother, but gave Mu Xiao She made a gesture to let Mu Xiao stay here, and then Luying walked away lightly.

Mu Xiao just stood there, closed his eyes, and listened to the melodious sound of the zither, the sound of the zither was very beautiful, although the water in the pond condensed into ice, but hearing the sound of the zither seemed to see the ripples in the pond water.

End of song.

Cai Lan didn't look back, but turned his back to Mu Xiao, Cai Lan said: "I remember when I was young, I went to Wuzhen Mu with my grandfather. At that time, our Cai family's business was very small, and we only used ebony to make some magic tools. I only have business dealings with Wuzhen Mu, I met you when I was a child."

Mu Xiao stood in place, looking at Cai Lan's back, Mu Xiao said: "Oh, Miss Cai Lan met me before? Is that right? I'm sorry, I lost my memory a while ago, and I forgot everything before."

Cai Lan: "Well, I've heard about your amnesia. When you were young, you were very timid. I heard from the old shepherd that the Ebony Forest has wind wolves, and the place you are most afraid of going is the Ebony Forest."

Mu Xiao rubbed his nose, thinking, so he was so timid before?But why is it not the same as now, the current self has enough adventurous spirit: "Hehe, Miss Cai Lan made a joke, maybe it was because I was young at that time."

Cai Lan suddenly spoke like this, Mu Xiao couldn't understand, he didn't know what the purpose of Cai Lan's words was, a character like Cai Lan who is smart and likes to go straight to the point, would never say some useless nonsense.

Cai Lan continued: "Now look at our Cai family, we have a big family and a big business. Although we had a marriage contract before we were born, it was many years ago, and now my grandfather has passed away."

Mu Xiao finally understood. It turned out that Cai Lan said that on purpose just now. What she wanted to say was very simple. It meant that you, Wuzhen Mu, have not changed at all. You are still in that remote and poor place, but now the Cai family has Power and status are far above Wuzhen Mu, so the husband-in-law Cai Lan will choose must not be an ordinary person.

Mu Xiao said: "Well, it is true that we are married on the basis of the belly. Does the Cai family want to regret the marriage?"

Cai Lan: "Repentance? Our Cai family's power and status in Bingwang City did not depend on one day, but on the trust of others in my Cai family over the years. If news of repentance is spread, it will have a negative impact on the reputation of our Cai family." It's a big loss, but Mu Xiao, I, Cai Lan, will not marry a weak person, and you have been very timid since you were a child, Mu Xiao, as long as you are willing to take the initiative to withdraw the engagement, my Cai family will not treat you badly."

Cai Lan has already uttered harsh words, and also expressed his meaning, meaning that Mu Xiao should voluntarily withdraw from the engagement, but after the two talked for so long, Cai Lan didn't even look at Mu Xiao, which made Mu Xiao feel very embarrassed.
