Chapter 27 - The Undercurrents Against the Xue Family
Ling Muran's face showed anger, but he couldn't blame her. After all, she was his wife's sister now, and he had to respectfully call her eldest sister.
Xue Rou'er rolled her eyes at him and followed Yu Wenmo out. The two got into the carriage, and Ling Muran also got in without saying a word.
The three of them were speechless along the way. When they arrived at the place, Xue Rouer got off the car and saw them arriving at the river. Only then did she realize that there was a river in the city.
The small restaurant by the river was very simple. There were four tables inside, and a middle-aged woman was greeting the guests. When she saw Yu Wenmo, she smiled and said, "Master Yuwen is here. What would you like to eat today?"
Yu Wenmo smiled and said: "Shun Niang, today I will bring your famous fish soup and some light river fresh food."
"Okay, you guys sit down first!" Shun Niang turned around and entered the kitchen.
Xue Rouer asked: "This place is very remote, can I make money?"
Yu Wenmo said: "Don't look at this place, we have never stopped having customers. Firstly, Shunniang's fish soup is the best in the capital, and secondly, Shunniang is generous and cheerful. It's just...Shunniang's life is hard, originally she was
The concubine of a wealthy family was later kicked out by the main wife, and she became self-reliant."
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "A woman may not live well if she leaves a man. I admire Shun Niang very much."
Yu Wenmo said: "Since ancient times, women have been dependent on men for survival. There are countless people like Shun Niang who have been kicked out, but few can live as freely as her."
Xue Rou'er nodded and said: "This is all caused by you men. It's okay to use the three obediences and four virtues to poison women's hearts. In fact, women are no worse than men!"
Yu Wenmo nodded and said, "I didn't think women could do anything before, but after meeting Shun Niang and you, I realized that there are also strong women in this world."
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "Am I a strong person? Don't praise me."
Yu Wenmo shook his head and said: "This is not a compliment. I am ashamed of your knowledge. I still want to learn more from you."
Xue Rou'er glanced at Ling Muran and said, "You should learn from him. He has become the second richest businessman in the capital at a young age. He is much better than me."
Yu Wenmo shook his head and said: "No, I still know a thing or two about Brother Ling. His family fortune is rich. If we really talk about his ability, I'm afraid he won't be as good as you."
Ling Muran listened on the side, his face darkened, but he didn't speak.
Not long after, Shun Niang brought fish soup and some river fresh food. She smiled and said, "Please use it slowly."
Yu Wenmo said: "Shun Niang, are there no river clams today?"
Shun Niang said: "Yes, but the heat is not high enough to allow it to be eaten. The river mussels these days are relatively large and difficult to cook."
Yu Wenmo nodded, and Shun Niang turned and left.
"It's a pity, the river mussels here are very delicious." He said with some regret.
Xue Rouer smiled lightly and drank a bowl of soup. It was really delicious and sweet.
Yu Wenmo said: "I recently got a kind of stone that will glow at night. The light is a hundred times stronger than the night pearl. However, this stone has a shortcoming. It can only shine for an hour in the dark."
Xue Rouer asked: "What kind of gem is it?"
Yu Wenmo took out a small bag from his arms and said, "This is what's here."
He poured out the contents of the bag. They were two gray-white stones the size of one-yuan coins.
"This kind of thing is very soft, and it will glow when you break it open." He broke open a piece, and sure enough he saw a white light emitting from it, like a small light bulb.
Xue Rouer became interested and took the stone over. The light was very dazzling. If it could be modified, could it be used as a flashlight?
"Is this stone expensive?" Xue Rouer asked.
Yu Wenmo shook his head and said: "This is a kind of ore that is easy to mine. It just requires transportation costs to transport it to the capital."
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "How much do you have, give me some."
Yu Wenmo smiled and said: "I was deceived. I originally thought it was a night pearl, but the glowing time was very short. Since you want it, I will give you the rest."
Xue Rouer nodded and said: "Thank you very much. I will develop a new object later. If it can be made, there may be business opportunities."
Ling Muran asked nonchalantly: "What business opportunity?"
Xue Rouer rolled her eyes at him and said, "Secret!"
Ling Muran suddenly became angry. He had always been aloof in front of Xue Rou'er, but since Xue Rou'er could speak, he has become lower and lower. This feeling is very bad.
After dinner, Yu Wenmo took Xue Rou'er back to his house in a carriage. After seeing Xue Rou'er enter the house, he said to Ling Muran: "This woman is not something you can control. Since you are marrying someone else's sister, don't think too much."
Ling Muran said coldly: "What do you mean by this?"
Yu Wenmo picked up a stone and shook it hard. The stone suddenly turned into powder. He sneered and said: "You'd better not have any ideas about her, she is mine."
Cold sweat broke out on Ling Muran's forehead. Facing such a powerful man, he felt that he was even worse than an ant.
Yu Wenmo got on the carriage and left. Ling Muran walked back to his house. He thought a lot along the way. It turns out that shopping malls don't rely on brains. If you don't have a strong body, you can only look up to others.
When he returned to his home, he immediately went to the Buddhist temple.
The nanny was still chanting sutras, and Ling Muran said: "Nanny, I want to learn martial arts."
The nanny paused her hand and said, "Aren't you studying?"
Ling Muran said: "It is a stronger and more powerful martial arts. Yu Wenmo can easily crush stones into powder."
The wet nurse sneered and said: "The little plan is just internal power. In fact, you already have a lot of internal power in your body, but I helped you seal it. It's not time for you to use it now. When the time comes, I will naturally release the restriction for you.
."
Ling Muran asked: "Nanny, why do you want to seal it? When else is the time? Where did my inner strength come from?"
The nanny was silent for a moment and said: "You can't know now. Anyway, the nanny won't harm you. As for the internal strength... it was passed on to you by my master before she died. You shouldn't ask more about it."
Ling Muran knelt down suddenly and said, "Nanny, I'm not young anymore. Is there anything else you can't tell me?"
The wet nurse sighed quietly and said: "My child, the time has really not come yet. If you know now, it will only lead to death."
Ling Muran was very frustrated when he heard this and said: "Well, can you tell me what to do next? Now I have married the Xue family, but Xue Li will not let me interfere with the Xue family's business."
The wet nurse sneered: "Xue Li is an old fox, but recently I got the news that someone is going to deal with the Xue family, so you stand still and swallow up the Xue family's business if you have the chance. If Xue Li has the ability to tide over the difficulties, we will
It will be his biggest support. Son, wait, I have been waiting for eighteen years and I am still waiting, why can't you wait any longer?"
Ling Muran was speechless. He didn't know who the enemy the empress was talking about. He only knew that he was a very powerful person. Now that everything was said, he could only compromise and said: "Okay, I hope I can swallow him up this time."
