Farmer's pretty businesswoman

Chapter 263
"Yeah." Nodding his head, Shangguan Chu Chu blessed his body, "Respectfully send off the empress."

[Linchu Auction House] is more lively than three years ago, and the venue has expanded several times.

The new gadgets here never stop, and daily progress is a piece of cake. Although people are very curious about the behind-the-scenes owner of this auction house, no one has ever seen his true face.Even the emperor couldn't help associating this Lin Chu with the one who sent the weapons. After several investigations, he still had no way of knowing who the mysterious man was.

Curiosity, freshness, delicacy, and uniqueness, these are the reasons why the business of [Lin Chu Auction House] is getting better and better.

Anyone who has been to the auction house knows these things, and there are so many customers coming every day, even if they send people to investigate carefully, they will not find more or unreasonable things.Of course, no one would guess that the real owner of this auction house is Princess Ruyi... Shangguan Chuchu.

Apart from being a place where Shangguan Chuchu used to collect money, the auction house was also one of the places she reserved three years ago as a way out and to collect information. When those officials came here to auction things, Shangguan Chuchu sent Chunlan to keep accounts and keep them clear. Time and people traded.

"Miss, it's not good."

Xia He's flustered voice interrupted Shangguan Chuchu, who was looking at the account book. She withdrew from her thoughts immersed in the account book, and looked up to see her nervous expression, with her brows tightly frowned.

"Miss, Mu Xiaoxiao is missing."

"Oh?" Raising his eyebrows, Shangguan Chuchu put down the account book in his hand.

Mu Xiaoxiao is thousands of miles away in the 'Wu Nian Temple', she has no power outside, it is impossible for anyone to save her, unless it is Lan Yujie.

Lan Yujie must have investigated the matter in Meiting back then. As for why it took three years to rescue Mu Xiaoxiao from the 'Wu Nian Nunnery', I'm afraid that during this time, she was sent to the ' Wunian Nunnery is related to the caretaker Mu Xiaoxiao.

Those are all masters, and they are not lacking in the open or in the dark. Presumably, it is not an easy task for Lan Yujie to rescue people from there.

Could it be that after Mu Xiaoxiao and Lan Yujie reunited again, Mu Xiaoxiao told Lan Yujie about her all over again, and that's how the old fox Lord Lan deliberately counterattacked them.

"Miss." Chunlan walked in from the outside, followed by a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat. It was a small work placed by Shangguan Chuchu in the Lan Palace three years ago, and now it has a considerable status in the Lan Palace.

Taking off his bamboo hat, the man in black bowed his hands respectfully to the superior, and said in a steady voice: "Pavilion Master, this subordinate is guilty. I just found out that Lord Lan has already deprived people under the name of Prince Lan's mansion over the past month or so. The account property flowed out in batches, he first scattered to various places in Mulan, and then, secretly transferred to the same place to avoid people's eyes and ears."

Slightly drooping his eyes to hide the complicated expression in his eyes, Shangguan Chuchu said indifferently: "Xuanyu, can you find out where the flow is going?"

"Xuan Lei has the latest information that all the properties of Prince Lan's Mansion have been transported to the grassland country." Xuan Yu said, and everyone in the room focused their eyes on Shangguan Chuchu.

Shangguan Chuchu closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the table lightly.

Seeing that Shangguan Chuchu didn't speak for a long time, Xia He frowned, and said angrily: "Miss, this Lord Lan is clearly an old fox, we can't let his wishful thinking be crackled."

Qiu Ju thought about it for a second, and panic flashed across her eyes, "Miss, the border town is guarded by General Lei, and now things from the Lan Palace have flowed out of the border town, will the emperor understand?"

If the emperor found out about this matter, it would be dereliction of duty at the least, or deceiving the emperor, collusion inside and outside, and plotting wrongdoing.

"This..." Xia He looked at Shangguan Chuchu, and frowned, "Miss, what should I do? Lord Lan clearly wants our Mu Palace to be attacked by the enemy, and he intends to let us fall into the His muddy waters."

If he did this, no matter whether the emperor knew it now or later, the Mu Palace might never be able to clean itself up.

Furthermore, if Prince Mu's Mansion holds on to him tightly, this will also be one of his bargaining chips when necessary.

"Xuanyu, hurry up and find out whether the properties of Prince Lan's Mansion are still in circulation after they arrive in the grassland country? Tell Xuanlei, tell General Lei about this in secret, but please ask him to tell General Lei, as if he didn't know about it. Just check in secret."

The Prairie Country is a barren place where nomads make a living, the tribes are complex, and there are frequent internal strife. She really can't think of a reason for Prince Lan to transport his property there.

If the grassland country is not his ultimate goal, then there is only one reason for him to do so, and that is to pull Lei Suo off his horse and wade into the muddy water.

After all, his ultimate goal is Prince Mu.

"Miss, but..." Qiu Ju frowned, unwilling to understand why Shangguan Chuchu wanted Lei Suo to stand still?

"Qiu Ju, you've been with Miss for so long, can't you still trust her? Miss must have a reason for doing this." Xia He reached out and patted Qiu Ju's shoulder, with a smirk on her lips and a sly look on her brows, " Or Qiu Ju, you got upset because of someone?"

Qiu Ju stretched out her hand and pulled Xia He's hand away, looked at Shangguan Chuchu, and said, "Miss, do you look at her? She's not in the right shape, so you can just point her out."

Shangguan Chuchu casually threw the account book away, "Xuan Yu, please spread the letter first."

"Yes, Pavilion Master." Xuan Yu put on the bamboo hat, turned and left.

"Xia He, I have a task for you. After I complete it, I will start to make a wedding for you." With a smile on his lips, it is rare that Shangguan Chuchu is still in the mood to joke about Xia He at such a tense time, " I don't know what you think?"

"Miss, what time is it, and you still listen to Qiu Ju's instigation here?" Xia He stomped her feet, her face flushed.

"Oh?" With a soft 'oh', Shangguan Chuchu looked up at Xia He, and said sadly: "It turns out that in Xia He's heart, I am a person who is easy to be provoked. Sigh..."

Only then did Xia He realize that he had said something wrong, and quickly corrected him, "Miss, Xia He didn't mean that."

"What do you mean by that? You clearly meant that just now." Qiu Ju looked at Xia He with a half-smile, and said in a neutral tone.

"Qiu Ju, you are taking revenge on me."

"Where am I?" With an innocent face and hands spread out, Qiu Ju looked at Shangguan Chuchu, with unconcealable worry in her tone, "Miss, is the general okay?"

"Don't worry!" Waving his hand, Shangguan Chuchu looked at Xia He with a serious face, "Xia He, no matter what, you must try to find out who rescued Mu Xiaoxiao? I suggest you start from Lan Wangfu. Get down and get busy, and pay attention to your own safety."
