Two days later, Mu Zhou, who was on assignment, finally came back.

He was dusty and looked radiant.

"Brother Mu, how is the business negotiation going?" Liu Xihua came forward warmly.

In order to avoid gossip, only Du Ran and he knew that Mu Zhou was investigating Fang Rong and Meng Wenjun. To others, they all said that he was going to discuss the winery business.

In order to avoid confusion, he told others that the deal was not concluded after he came back.

So, when Mu Zhou shook his head, Liu Xihua didn't believe it.

"Brother Mu, how could there be a business deal that you can't negotiate?" Liu Xihua was shocked.

"I am a human, not a god. Why can't we come to an agreement?" Mu Zhou looked at Liu Xihua as if he were an idiot.

Liu Xihua was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant, I meant..."

"Okay, I'm exhausted after a long day of traveling. Stop saying this or that. Anyway, the deal is not going to work out!"

Liu Xihua looked at Mu Zhou's back and murmured, "It must be because the deal didn't go through, he's so mad!"

Xu Bingxia gloated behind him: "You're just trying to please someone you don't like, right?"

"Why didn't you go to Mika?"

"The princess gave me a holiday and hired a temporary shopkeeper. I am so happy to have some free time!"

"Are you stupid? How can you control the revenue of the rouge shop like this?" Liu Xihua pulled her aside and whispered.

Xu Bingxia shrugged her shoulders like Du Ran did and said indifferently: "Why should I control the income of the Rouge Shop?"

Liu Xihua gestured with his hands how to count money.

Xu Bingxia frowned, looked at Liu Xihua and said speechlessly: "You came to the palace for the mountains of gold and silver treasures, not to control the shop of the princess. Do you still care about that little money?"

"Time cost! When have we ever wasted so much time on one thing?" Liu Xihua hated Xu Bingxia for not living up to his expectations.

"The longer the time, the more treasures there are. Don't be too greedy!" Xu Bingxia warned him.

Liu Xihua was helpless.

"Don't block the way. Brother Mu Zhou just came back and I want to make some soothing soup for him!" As soon as she said this, Xu Bingxia immediately became excited.

"You want to make soup for your brother Mu Zhou. Are you sick? You don't really like him, do you? You know that it will be difficult to achieve great things if you keep entangled in love affairs like this!" Liu Xihua said seriously.

But Xu Bingxia turned a deaf ear to him and went to make soup with a cheerful step.

Liu Xihua was indignant and chased after him: "If you want to make soup, make one for me too. I'm tired and I need a soothing soup even more!"

"Want to drink it? Go make it yourself. You know how to make it!" Xu Bingxia didn't want to make soup for Liu Xihua.

"One bowl is the same as boiling, two bowls are the same as cooking, we are friends after all!"

"Stop! To be precise, we are not friends, but partners! Please don't play the emotional card!" Xu Bingxia corrected Liu Xihua's verbal mistake.

Liu Xihua stared in disbelief as Xu Bingxia walked further and further away.

The word "partner" hit Liu Xihua's head like a bolt from the blue. They had been through so many life and death situations together, but they were still not friends? ? He was wrong after all!

But, not surprisingly, Xu Bingxia was turned away by Mu Zhou while holding the soup. The reason was still that he was still young and just needed to take a rest!

This time it was Liu Xihua's turn to laugh at Xu Bingxia's joke. Liu Xihua stood aside with a grin on his face: "Oh, you're being ignored, aren't you?"

Xu Bingxia glared at him and took out all her anger on him: "You're so free? That's great. I'll assign you some tasks after the princess comes back. This way, you won't have to gossip like a grown man every day!"

"Hey, Xu Bingxia, you are allowed to make fun of me, but I can't even say a word to you?" Liu Xihua yelled.

"It just doesn't work!"

"Why??!" Liu Xihua intended to argue.

"Just because my last name is Xu! Whatever I allow is fine, and whatever I don't allow is not fine!"

Liu Xihua was completely speechless by Xu Bingxia's unreasonable attitude.

As they were arguing, Du Ran came back from outside and looked at the two of them with a smile: "Beating is love, scolding is care, and if love is not enough, kick him! I can hear your voices from far away, cousin, if he dares to argue with you again, just kick him!"

"Princess, kicking him would be too easy for him. Just poison him to death!" Xu Bingxia said angrily.

Liu Xihua's hair stood up all over his body: "Princess, I've been quite idle recently, and it's not good to be idle, so why don't you let me go to the winery to supervise the repair work?"

How could Du Ran not see Liu Xihua's little plan, but since someone volunteered to do it, she didn't have to make any arrangements, so she agreed decisively.

"Princess, Brother Muzhou is back. It seems that the business deal was not concluded. You must not blame him." Xu Bingxia said in a low voice with a pleading tone.

Liu Xihua pouted and imitated the way Xu Bingxia spoke just now, mocking her.

Du Ran was overjoyed: "Mu Zhou is back?"

"Mu Zhou!" Du Ran shouted his name and walked towards the backyard.

Leaving the two people petrified on the spot.

"Cousin, cousin, you keep calling me Brother Mu Zhou. It's disgusting to hear. You see, you have no chance!" Liu Xihua pointed towards the backyard.

"Take care of yourself first!" Xu Bingxia turned and left.

Mu Zhou had just finished cleaning up and lay down on the bed when he heard Du Ran calling him. He jumped up from the bed and said, "My queen, please come in!"

Du Ran appeared at the door with a smile on his face, and then took two steps forward with a little excitement: "You are finally back, how is the investigation going?"

"My queen, is there anything I can't find out? We are all brothers in the martial arts world!" Mu Zhou was still super confident, and then took out a stack of papers: "These are the oral testimonies of others. Everyone can prove that when Meng Yuan went to seek medical treatment and passed by Tanshui Town where Fang Rong was, he only had a meal at Zhongyue Restaurant. Meng Yuan had no contact with Fang Rong at all, let alone having a child!"

Du Ran looked at the densely packed testimonies on the paper and nodded. Just as she thought, this Fang Rong was a fake.

"Moreover, when Meng Yuan passed through Tanshui Town, he couldn't walk by himself if he hadn't been supported by someone. Even with the support of two people, he still took a step and rested for a while. How could he have the energy to be intimate with Fang Rong?" Mu Zhou pointed to another page of testimony and showed it to Du Ran: "In summary, Fang Rong is delusional and fabricated that she and Meng Yuan had a one-night stand, right? As for this child... Everyone said that they didn't know when Fang Rong got pregnant. When his parents found out, she was almost born. However, until the child is this big, no one knows who the child is."

Du Ran frowned as he listened, and after flipping through the testimony for a while, he murmured, "Even if we can investigate so carefully, the emperor and General Qi should be able to find out, but why do they insist that Meng Wenjun is Meng Yuan's child?"

"I can only say that they are all fools!"

"It's not that simple. Maybe they already knew that Fang Rong and Meng Wenjun were fake, but they still ordered that Meng Wenjun was Meng Yuan's only offspring. That can only mean one thing: they did it on purpose! As for their purpose, it is currently unknown." Du Ran analyzed.

Mu Zhou also fell into deep thought, which made him think of the treasure.
