Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Seeing that she could not enter the paradise, Su Xianxin came up with the idea of ​​opening her own paradise. Isn't Wu Lanxi's paradise only open to women?

Then she would build a manor that was open to both men and women and more inclusive than the Utopia. Then she would refuse entry to Wu Lanxi and even Sun Qiming.

When she mentioned this idea to the Fourth Prince, he was somewhat tempted, but when he thought about the huge amount of money it would cost to build it, he became hesitant.

"It's a good idea, but unfortunately my status is not suitable for it. If you can open it yourself, it will be your ability."

He wanted to open a business, but he had no funds. If Su Xianxin had the ability to open one, he would look up to her.

Hearing this, Su Xianxin knew that the Fourth Prince wanted to open such a manor, but did not want to get involved. He really wanted to take advantage of it for free.

However, now that I can't enter the paradise, those ladies are reluctant to talk to me, and I can't get a word in, which is a bit embarrassing. I have to stand up for myself. Since I can't open it myself, I'll just pull a few people to help me.

So, she first went to find the second prince's concubine Gu Qianxue and the fifth prince's concubine, intending to cooperate with them to open a manor. She thought that she would have more control over the two concubines.

Who would have thought that after the two princesses learned about it, they also said they wanted to cooperate. They were very jealous of the huge amount of money that Paradise made every day, so naturally they also wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Su Xianxin was a little unwilling at first, but later she felt that it was not impossible. A manor jointly opened by three princes' wives and two concubines must be more prestigious than Wu Lanxi's, right?

I don't have many connections, but the other two princes' wives have strong connections, especially since their two husbands are favorites to become the crown prince, so they must attract more people.

So she nodded and agreed, and the five of them sat together to discuss who would be responsible for what, and began preparations in full swing, aiming to open it by the end of the year.

They didn't know that Lu Zhanxing spent three times the price to build this paradise. It was because he was willing to spend money that the entire paradise was so luxurious and exquisite.

Therefore, the two princes' wives and two concubines often went to the paradise to learn from experience, which of course cost a lot of money.

After Lu Zhanxing was informed of this news, he sent people to follow them for a while and learned that they also wanted to emulate his paradise.

But Lu Zhanxing didn't care. She was expected to make her paradise stand out, and those businessmen would naturally imitate this model. However, this was just a casual move by Lu Zhanxing. She wouldn't have to worry about her wealth for several lifetimes, so whether she could make money was secondary.

Her purpose is inhumane, I hope my brother doesn't have to make this move!

As for Su Xianxin and others, it is not that easy to emulate his paradise.

The decoration can be imitated, but they can never learn the core. Those who control the core, such as the chefs, some people who make things in the manor, and the waiters, all these indentures are in her hands, so she is not afraid of betrayal.

If anyone dares to betray her, she will be beaten to death. She has killed people before and is not a good person.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Zhanxing had a meal with his grandfather and others. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhanxing felt nauseous during the meal, but she forced him to suppress it.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Su Xianye saw that her husband seemed to have no appetite.

Lu Zhanxing shook his head: "Maybe I didn't get enough rest, I'm a little tired."

I have been busy with the affairs of Utopia for the past two months. I have to visit various farms to see the products they make, and ask the chefs to come up with new products. Now that things are finally getting on track, I am indeed a little tired.

"Let Huali take your pulse." The old minister at the side spoke out.

Lu Zhanxing shook his head: "No, I'm just tired from being busy these past two months, I just need a break."

The old Duke was very worried: "Since you are tired, go back and rest as soon as possible after dinner!"

Looking at his elderly grandfather, Lu Zhanxing's eyes were filled with deep sorrow. He wondered what his elder brother had done.

Can grandpa endure it?

After dinner, Lu Zhanxing sent Su Xianye back to Yunfeng Courtyard and was about to turn around and go back to the yard. When he passed by the woods, Mu Qingli was no longer there.

She was able to see Mu Qingli during the Chinese New Year last year.

They seemed to have become strangers. Although they still talked and discussed things, she could feel that Mu Qingli had returned to the calm and relaxed state when they first met. There was no longer the scene of them chatting and laughing as before.

Lu Zhanxing looked up at the full moon in the sky with melancholy mood. Last year, their family had a reunion dinner, but this year there were only three of them.

I don’t know when we can really get together again, but by next New Year, I’m afraid my grandfather will be gone forever.

Suddenly my face felt a little cold. I raised my hand to touch it, and then looked up at the sky and it suddenly started to rain. Was it raining?

Lu Zhanxing quickly opened his folding fan to cover his head, then ran towards his own Liuli Courtyard.

But she had not run for long when a hint of green emerged from the bamboo forest, and Lu Zhanxing ran directly into Mu Qingli's arms, while Mu Qingli held up an umbrella to shield them both.

"Mr. Mu?"

What a coincidence, she was just thinking about him.

Mu Qingli smiled lightly, with a hint of alienation in her smile: "It's raining, Mr. Lu, don't catch a cold."

No matter what, Lu Zhanxing was still somewhat happy: "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Mu to take me back."

Mu Qingli shook her head, smiled, lifted her hand, and put the umbrella in her hand: "I have practiced martial arts, and my body is in good shape. On the contrary, Master Lu should pay more attention to his health."

After saying that, he went into the rain, and his green figure disappeared into the twilight.

Lu Zhanxing looked at the umbrella in his hand. Did he... come here specially to deliver the umbrella? Or was he just passing by?

The rain started to get heavier, so we had to quickly return to Liuliyuan.

After returning to Liuliyuan, he asked Xiulan to prepare a bathtub and took a comfortable bath.

"Master, I have prepared some ginger soup for you. Please drink some to relieve your cold." Xiulan came in with a bowl of ginger soup.

Lu Zhanxing, who was sitting on the bed in his underwear, raised his hand to take it. Just as he put the bowl to his lips, he suddenly felt nauseous: "Ugh~"

"Master? What's wrong with you?" Xiulan panicked. She put the ginger soup on the low table beside her and rushed over to pat the master's back.

"No... Ugh~" Lu Zhanxing felt nauseous when he thought of the pungent smell, but it was just dry heaving.

Xiulan looked worried and anxious: "I will ask someone to call Liu Xu back."

The old duke was old and in poor health, so Liu Xu still went to take care of him.

Huali and Liuxu take turns to take care of the old Duke, so now we can only go to Moyun Hall to find Liuxu.

Lu Zhanxing didn't stop her either. She...had a vague guess, right?

Got it right in one try?

It wasn’t just once, we did it two or three times… and I was on top…

Recalling the scene of that night, Lu Zhanxing covered his face...
