Chapter 353 An accident happened to the Qin family caravan
"Don't worry, I will help." Mu Siyu promised.
Since she was someone Lu Yi wanted to protect, no matter how much the loyal king hated him, she would not care about him.
Mu Siyu then spent a lot of time improving the diet of King Zhong and Wen Yi. In order to make medicinal diets that would nourish their bodies, she often consulted the miracle doctors who treated them to improve the recipes.
Thanks to the combination of medication and diet, Wen Yi finally had some flesh on his face.
As for Prince Zhong, I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I always feel that after getting rid of the poison, he doesn’t look as violent and cruel as before. He just looks like a young boy with a bad temper.
"I'm so exhausted." Mu Siyu dragged her exhausted body back to her residence. "Even if something big happens today, don't come to me again. I want to have a good rest for a few days."
"Slave, I'll give you a thumbs up." Zi Su said.
"Press your shoulder, it's so sore."
These days of the month are the most uncomfortable for a woman. Even if her body is made of iron, there will still be times when it becomes as soft as cotton, not to mention that it keeps spinning like a top these past few months.
"The exhibition has been initially successful, and our business is getting better and better. The other courtyard is almost finished, and it's really time for Madam to have a good rest." Ziyuan said from the side, "Look at this dress, no matter how beautiful it is and how well it has been worn.
If you keep tossing like this, it won't break a hole. Even if it's repaired, it will leave traces in the future. The same goes for your body, so don't overwork yourself!"
Zisu couldn't make any sense, but what Ziyuan said was reasonable and nice. She kept nodding in agreement.
Zheng Shuyu knocked on the door: "Siyu, there is something urgent."
Mu Siyu: "..."
She lay there and looked up at the two girls.
The two girls looked at her sympathetically.
Ziyuan put down the clothes she was mending and went to open the door.
As soon as Zheng Shuyu entered the door, he said anxiously: "Something happened to the Qin family's caravan."
"Speak slowly, don't be impatient." Mu Siyu said, "What happened?"
"They met bandits, and the entire caravan was taken captive to the stronghold. The robbers also sent someone to deliver a letter to the young master's family, asking the young master's family to use money to redeem people and goods."
"Our goods this time were also sent by the Qin family."
"That's right, quite a few."
Mu Siyu slowly sat up.
"Madam, what should I do? Report to the official?" Zi Su asked.
"Brother Xia, please come here." Mu Siyu said to Zisu, "He should be better at handling this kind of thing."
"Yes, Mr. Xia is not a simple man." Zheng Shuyu said, "Before you came, we met gangsters every now and then in our store. Since you appeared, no one has made trouble anymore. I think those people at that time finally had their consciences.
I discovered that one time I accidentally saw those local gangsters being respectful to Brother Xia and even running errands for him."
Xia Kun was called in, learned the news, and said, "I'll handle it."
"What should we do with the Qin family?" Zheng Shuyu asked.
"I will discuss countermeasures with Mr. Qin. Just leave this matter to me." Xia Kun said, "Madam, please work hard during this time and keep an eye on Prince Zhong."
Xia Kun rushed to Qin's house overnight.
Qin Wenhan heard that Dream Home sent people over, dismissed the managers of each store, and asked people to bring Xia Kun to the study to discuss matters.
"Young master, I came uninvited, and I won't go around in circles..." Xia Kun said, "I heard that the Qin family's caravan was attacked by bandits. Please tell me everything about the situation."
"Okay, I said." Qin Wenhan took out the redemption letter sent by the bandits from the drawer. "This is from the bandits."
After Xia Kun read the letter, he roughly understood the situation.
Qin Wenhan also talked about the doubts about the bandits appearing out of thin air.
"You prepare the money to redeem people as they say, and I will go with you." Xia Kun said.
"How many people does Mr. Xia plan to bring?"
"Ten people are enough."
Mu Siyu learned on the second day that Xia Kun had followed Qin Wenhan to look for someone in the bandits' den.
A few days later, the villa was completed.
Mu Siyu personally took Prince Zhong to test the results.
"How about it?"
"good."
"The final payment..."
Prince Zhong glanced at Mu Siyu lightly: "You are the first person who dares to ask me for money."
"Your Majesty, you must be aware that we are all human beings. Money is the foundation of the world. One penny less can kill a heroic man. I, a little girl, can't help but be tacky."
"Looking at your worthless appearance, how can Lu Yi deprive you of food and drink? With your appearance, you are really embarrassing to him." King Zhong sneered.
"I didn't steal or rob. I support my family with my own skills. How can I embarrass him? For men, a non-clingy woman like me should be very trouble-free."
The confidant hurried over, leaned over and said a few words in King Zhong's ear.
Prince Zhong looked ugly and waved his hand: "Take him to Xiaoyaoyuan."
"Since the prince has something to do..."
"Let's go!" King Zhong turned around and left.
Mu Siyu completed the remaining work and was about to leave when Prince Zhong's housekeeper came over to settle the remaining balance.
"It's more than budgeted for."
"The prince said that the lady has done a good job, and the extra money is a reward." The steward said, "If the lady has no other instructions, I will go to the craftsman. The prince asked me to pay off all the remaining balance."
"Is there something going on with the prince?" Mu Siyu said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to inquire. It's just that he left in a hurry just now and seemed to be in a hurry, so I just asked casually."
"Someone is coming from the palace." The housekeeper didn't hide it.
Obviously the housekeeper knew that Mu Siyu had a deep connection with Prince Zhong, and this was not something that needed to be hidden from her.
"In the palace..." No wonder his expression was so strange at that time.
The bodies of King Zhong and Wen Yi were both broken down by that man in the palace. The poison of a tiger does not eat its seeds. That man was worse than an animal. He was obviously not a good person.
Since he can't even be called a good person, let alone a wise king.
If Lu Yi wanted to be a minister to such a person, what would be his future path?
Master Ping was shocked when he saw that King Zhong had sent so much money, which was more than expected.
I thought it would be good if they could leave alive.
"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty." Master Taiji said to the housekeeper.
"Actually, you have one person to thank." The butler said with a smile, "The prince is not easy to talk to. You have made troubles several times, making the other courtyard a mess and making the prince very unhappy. But Boss Mu has been in the prince's eyes many times.
I said good things about you in front of me, saying that you worked hard for the prince with all your heart, and that you worked hard and achieved great results, so the prince did not punish you."
"Thank you for reminding me, sir." Craftsman Ping said, "I will definitely thank Boss Mu again."
After the housekeeper left, the craftsman next to him was unconvinced: "If Boss Namu really spoke for us, we wouldn't be getting paid just now."
The craftsman Ping said calmly: "What do you know? If King Zhong doesn't give it, do we dare to ask for it? Do you know how many people died in his hands? To be honest, the reason why I went to ask for wages some time ago was because I wanted to
Even if we die here, at least we will have money left for our families. I never thought that we would actually survive."
"Master, are you saying... that if we take this job, we will almost have one leg in the gate of hell?"
"What do you think?" said Master Tai, "We participated in the design of the mechanism of the secret room, and that is not a job that allows people to get out alive."
Everyone was silent.
"That day I heard Boss Mu mentioning wages to Prince Zhong," said a craftsman. "The prince was still very unhappy. I was frightened at the time and thought Boss Mu would be punished. Fortunately, it was fine."
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"Everyone doesn't like Boss Mu, and I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you." The craftsman said, "Later, the prince didn't pay us any wages, so there's no point in telling you."
