Chapter 972 Mo Shuang exposes deception ([-])

"Perhaps. If the eldest sister can really marry into the Mo family, then the Chu family will have an extra backer. Daddy should be very happy!" When mentioning this matter, Chu Manlian couldn't help complaining in her heart. If it wasn't for Chu Xixi As a hindrance, how could she have to marry the idle young master of the Liu family?Everyone who did it knows it, and it has become the laughing stock of gossip.

Destined to have no fate with Mo Shuang, Chu Manlian would rather that Chu Yurou could go with Mo Shuang. With the Mo family as the backer, wouldn't it be a matter of opening his mouth to deal with the Wen family's mother and daughter?

"Oh, my sister is really lucky!" Chu Manyan sighed, but her eyes were only fixed on Chu Manlian's reflection.At the banquet, the way Chu Manlian looked at Mo Shuang did not escape Chu Manyan's eyes.

It's a pity that Chu Manlian didn't react too much, she just snorted, packed her things and left.

After everyone had left, Chu Manyan went back in a bored manner. On the way, she heard many servants talking about Mr. Bai asking to see Chu Taiping. It can be seen that the power of public opinion cannot be ignored at any time.

In the study room, Chu Taiping looked through the recent accounts of the Chu family's shop. The recent harvest of the shop was not very good, and even Chu Taiping's mood became depressed.It's easy to get angry over a little thing, and it makes people panic, so you have to be more careful in doing things.

"Master, Madam has been waiting outside for a long time, but no water has entered. Why don't you go out to see her and ask her to go back. Don't wait here, lest people see it and make trouble again. Madam Just seeing the improvement, it's better not to add trouble to the old lady." The housekeeper stood aside and helped Chu Taiping look through the accounts.

Over the years, Qu's has been involved with the housekeeper a lot, enriching his own pockets and looting a lot of good things.Qu Shi was in trouble, so he found him yesterday, and sent many good things, asking him to talk to Chu Taiping.

The two of them could be regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope. Out of selfishness and in order to collect some money, the housekeeper helped Qu Shi speak in front of Chu Taiping.If one day the Qu family loses power and changes his wife to take care of the family affairs, his affairs will be easily discovered. If he is directly driven out of the mansion, it will be light. I can't see the sun in the sky.

"Still waiting? She is really persistent." Chu Taiping sneered.

A few days ago, after listening to Chu Xixi's advice at Wen's, I wanted to go to the cook's to have a look, but after careful consideration, I gave up.In fact, Chu Taiping was extremely unwilling to believe that this matter was Qu's idea.But everything pointed the finger at Qu Shi, which made Chu Taiping feel a bit of heartache while being embarrassed.Right now he is really not in a good mood to see Qu Shi.

"Master, Madam said that old Mr. Bai is going back. Before he leaves, he wants to see the master, saying that he has something important to tell. The master might as well go and listen to what the old Mr. Bai said. If it is related to the old lady's illness, the master It’s good that we have dealt with it in advance.” Seeing that Chu Taiping had no good face, the housekeeper brought the topic to the old lady.

Sure enough, when hearing the old lady, Chu Taiping hesitated for a moment, and then said something.So I asked someone to invite Mr. Bai to the back hall.

The housekeeper came out and asked Mr. Bai to meet Chu Taiping in the back hall, and then stopped the mother and daughter of Qu's who wanted to follow.

"What does the housekeeper mean by this? Could it be that this is also what the master meant?" Seeing the housekeeper's obstruction, Qu's heart was displeased, and her tone was inevitably a bit domineering.

"Madam misunderstood, this is not the master's order, but it is indeed the master's intention!" The steward reminded, seeing the servant girl coming to deliver tea, the steward stood still and said nothing, Naqu saw that the steward did not leave, Knowing that he must have something to say later, he also stood there and waited.

"What's the housekeeper's meaning? I don't understand." Seeing the maid walk away, Qu asked, and the arrogance just now disappeared from her words.

"Ma'am, right now the master is displeased because of the old lady's affairs, and the third lady found the prescription for the old lady's illness, so the master is inevitably suspicious of the wife. Now that Mr. Bai is going to see the master, the lady can rest assured. At this time, the madam You should try to avoid suspicion!" The housekeeper said that this is indeed not the time to make fun of yourself in front of Chu Taiping.

"What the butler said is very true, thank you for your suggestion." After thinking about it carefully, Qu immediately thanked the butler, and then ordered someone to send a lot of things secretly.

In the back hall, Chu Taiping was sitting in the upper seat, holding warm tea in his hand, looking at Mr. Bai sitting below.This person behaves well, he really doesn't look like a wise swindler in the world.But if you really have the ability, why is the idea not as effective as a prescription presided over by the temple?

"I heard Mr. Bai is going to go back? Could it be that there is some urgent matter at home? If not, you can stay in Chu's residence for a few more days. Mr. is very knowledgeable, and Chu Taiping still wants to ask for advice." Chu Taiping put down his teacup and exchanged a few words of greeting.

"There is nothing at home. I just left home for a few days. It's time to go back and have a look. Before I leave, I have one more thing to tell Master Chu. I don't know if I should say it or not!" He put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Chu Taiping.

"Sir, it's okay to say it!" Chu Taiping listened attentively, with a respectful attitude.

"The third lady has a bad luck, so she really shouldn't stay in the mansion. Even if the temporary crisis can be solved today, there will be great chaos in the future. If the old man's calculation is correct, Mr. Chu's business has been sluggish recently, and his income is very little! If the three Miss sent out of the mansion, why is Chu's mansion not doing well?" Old Mr. Bai talked nonsense, told Chu Taiping the meaning of Qu's confession when he came, and said with certainty that Chu Xixi was hit with evil spirits, and should be sent out of the mansion immediately .

"This—" Chu Taiping hesitated.

It's true that the business in Chu's mansion has been sluggish recently, but Chu Xixi has just cured the old lady's illness, and sending Chu Xixi out of the mansion at this time, I'm afraid it will be so hot that people's hearts will be turbulent, and the mansion will be uneasy!

"Master, Young Master Mo is here..." A door boy walked in quickly and told Chu Taiping that it was Mo Shuang who came to visit.

"Oh? The young master of the Mo family is here at this time? What did you say?" Chu Taiping asked, it was really inappropriate to come here at this time.

"No, Young Master Mo came with two people who looked like friends. The three of them were chatting and laughing, and they were waiting at the door." The doorman reported one by one, waiting for Chu Taiping to order.

"Oh? Since he is a friend of the young master of the Mo family, he must have come here on some business. Go and invite young master Mo and others to come in." Mo Shuang's friends are either sons of rich families or children of official families, all of whom are of great status.Chu Taiping didn't dare to delay, and immediately asked someone to prepare tea to serve.

"Oh, Mr. Bai, please sit down for a while, Chu Taiping will come as soon as he goes." Chu Taiping stood up and went directly to the front hall, leaving Mr. Bai waiting here alone.

But this old Mr. Bai doesn't seem to want to sit and wait, waiting for a person like Chu Taiping to see, if he is rich, he is expensive. If he can catch up with one or two people, show off some tricks, and cheat some money, wouldn't it be better than staying here powerful?
This Chu Taiping is suspicious by nature, and he has a lot of worries about his own words, he is not as good as those rich people, the richer and more powerful they are, the more they believe in ghosts and gods.Wouldn't it be wonderful to exchange a few words for a lot of yellow and white things?
