He Mingxuan came and went to Beijing in a hurry, nominally to personally rectify the poorly managed Beijing branch that has been losing money year after year, but in fact he brought the secret recipe of the Chu family's pastry to Kang Youzhi to express his sincerity.

It's a pity that Kang Youzhi is an eccentric and hard-to-approach young master, compared to Chu Yutang, He Mingxuan finds him more annoying.But there is no way, in order to gain the support of the Kang family, and then to gain the appreciation of His Royal Highness Qi Wang, is He Mingxuan's ultimate goal.He knew very well a long time ago that even if he worked as a cow and a horse in the Chu family's firm, he would be just a manager in his life.When Chu Yutang officially got married, he had to hand over the custody right in his hand bit by bit.

Until the end, Chu Yutang was in full charge.

"Hmph, everyone in the Chu family squeezed others dry and fattened themselves up. If you want me to stay in the south of the Yangtze River and obey orders, you have to ask me if I am willing!" He Mingxuan recalled his experience in the capital, There was a cold hum in my heart.

It has been several days since I came back, and He Mingxuan didn't even have time to go home.He ran around in many places almost without touching his feet, and finally dealt with the backlog of affairs due to his previous visit to Beijing one by one.Everyone is used to Mr. He's obsession with his career, only Mrs. Yan would tell him to pay more attention to his body from time to time.

"Mrs. Chu, please rest assured that although Mingxuan has been away for a few days, the business of the firm will never be delayed." He Mingxuan came to the mansion to report on the results of the rectification of the Beijing branch.

Yan Shi hesitated to speak several times, which made He Mingxuan feel that something must have happened during his absence.But Yan Shi has always been a tight-lipped person, so He Mingxuan didn't dare to ask rashly.He was afraid that his gaffe would arouse her suspicion, which would ruin his future plans.

"I don't know if Yu Tang's health is better these days? I also asked several famous doctors in the capital, and they all said that this sudden fainting disease can be serious or small. To put it lightly, it may be a relapse of an old disease, heavy internal depression, It just needs to be relieved and recuperated, and it will take some time at most. But if it is serious, it is very likely that the evil wind has invaded, and I am afraid that it cannot be delayed." He Mingxuan did not forget to care about Chu Yutang who was ill in bed, but he wanted to know more about this What is the condition of the heir?

In fact, He Mingxuan did not want Chu Yutang to die at this time, because his wings were not yet fully developed, and he had not received the full support of the Kang family.If Chu Yutang died of illness at this moment, then the huge Chu family would inevitably choose another heir from a side branch.At that time, I am afraid that his many years of preparation will be in vain.

Yan Shi waved her hands with a heavy face, and sighed: "Yu'er's body is still very weak, but you don't have to worry. My sister and I have already sought treatment from another expert, so Yu'er is not in the mansion. Mingxuan, you must be sure about this news." Keep it safe and never spread it.”

"Yu Tang left Jiangnan?" He Mingxuan keenly found the key point in Yan's words.

Yan Shi was taken aback for a moment, and was a little hesitant when he asked.But after a while, she said calmly: "I'm still in the south of the Yangtze River, but not in the mansion. The worldly expert wanders in the mountains all year round, saying that Yu'er's disease needs to be completely cured in a different environment. Therefore, the firm You will have to work hard on the matter here, and as for the Liu family, please also keep this secret, and absolutely do not let them have any sway about this marriage."

He Mingxuan knew that if he continued to ask, he would not be able to get any useful information from Yan Shi.Chu Yutang left home and went to the mountains for medical treatment?It made sense at first, but when he thought of the young man from the Xiangfu who appeared in the capital for no reason, He Mingxuan couldn't help but shake his previous conviction.If Chu Yutang is no longer in the Chu family, then that person in the capital might really be her.

But thinking about it this way makes no sense.Chu Yutang, who had been thinking about Liu Yu's peace of mind for so long, somehow ran to the capital before the big wedding to marry another woman?This makes no sense at all!Even a strong man in the business world like He Mingxuan was confused by all kinds of incredible guesses.

Not long after returning home, the cautious He Mingxuan decided to go to Liu Yu'an to find out after thinking about it.Before he left last time, Liu Yu'an came to see him and asked about Chu Yutang's condition.Now maybe she has new news, but she is kept in the dark.

It was the tea room that only two people had ever entered and left, Liu Yu'an was still making tea quietly.What He Mingxuan admired her most was that no matter who sent the invitation, Liu Yu'an always arrived earlier than herself.

"Miss Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here without any problems."

"With Manager Lao He's note, you look very good."

He Mingxuan was asking her for news this time, so naturally he couldn't make a bad face.Quietly savoring Liu Yu'an's handicraft, he kept thinking about how to speak.

"Director He's invitation today is not just for drinking my cup of tea, is it?" Liu Yu'an still lowered her head, her voice was steady and low, but she was not weak.

"We are so familiar, so I won't talk nonsense. Actually, I want to ask about Chu Yutang's treatment." He Mingxuan put down the teacup lightly, and hardly made any sound when it landed on the table.

Liu Yu'an's hand, which was heating water in the teapot, stopped suddenly, as if digesting the meaning of He Mingxuan's question.

"Chu Yutang is your young master, and you actually came here to ask me this question? Could it be that Director He forgot that I was here to ask you for news last time?"

He Mingxuan sneered and said, "Last time was last time, and now is now. If it's said before, it can be used for a lifetime. Why do people live so long?"

Liu Yu'an put the teapot back and paused lightly.

Only then did he raise his head and look at the man sitting opposite him.

"According to Manager He, those of us who are alive should turn around and forget what we said, so we don't have to abide by the previous agreement?"

The corner of He Mingxuan's mouth twitched, and he said, "What do you mean by that? I'm asking about Chu Yutang's condition, what are you implying to me!"

Liu Yu'an was not angry, but she was not to be outdone, and was not intimidated by He Mingxuan's masculine aura at all.

"Since the Chu family business began to imitate the business model of the northern Kang family's restaurant, it has gradually reduced the purchase of tea from Jiangnan. Even the tea houses under the Chu family use green tea from Jiangbei the most."

"The tea house serves different kinds of tea, so it shouldn't be something to blame."

"On the border of the south of the Yangtze River, there are high-quality Longjing and Biluochun, but there is a large supply of green tea from the north. Is this the new feature of Director He?" Liu Yu'an became cold and stared at He Mingxuan.

"Well, I thought Miss Liu was only interested in being the eldest mistress of the Chu family. I didn't expect that she would even care about the Liu family's business." He Mingxuan felt a little hairy when he was stared at.

Liu Yu'an stopped talking, after all, she had never formally participated in the Liu family's business.She didn't have a sufficient position to criticize Manager He too harshly for abandoning the cooperative relationship with the Liu family.

"However, you might as well think about it and cooperate with me. I believe it will be good for you and the Liu family's business." He Mingxuan thought for a while, and decided to test Liu Yu'an.

Where is the teacup that Liu Yu'an brought to her lips, but she didn't give an answer immediately.

He Mingxuan knew that she didn't refuse immediately, so he was willing to listen to him continue talking.

"I heard that Yu Tang has left the mansion to get medical treatment. He said that he invited a Taoist expert to avoid the worldly disturbance. I wonder if Miss Liu, who is Chu Yutang's fiancée, knows about this?"

Liu Yu'an raised her eyes suddenly, and saw He Mingxuan's smug smile.

"Presumably when I visited Madam Chu a while ago, I didn't get the news you should know. It's a bit ashamed to say that the Chu family's style has always been a little unreasonable. When it is needed, it will hold back tightly, and when it is no longer needed, I don't care."

Liu Yu'an didn't say a word, but listened to He Mingxuan's words.She is not stupid, and she knows very well that these words are nothing more than He Mingxuan's attempt to sow trust between her and Aunt Yan.But the news brought by He Mingxuan today really surprised him.She originally thought that Aunt Yan would not even be willing to confide half a word to herself about things like Chu Yutang leaving for medical treatment.

"Haha, it's getting late. He left first, so as not to stay too long and affect Miss Liu's reputation and prevent you from becoming the eldest mistress of the Chu family, then the loss outweighs the gain." It's time to call it a day.He shook his robe and stood up.

Liu Yu'an didn't have the intention to get up and see him off, whether he came or left, it didn't seem to have any effect on Liu Yu'an.This made He Mingxuan feel deeply frustrated again, but in front of Liu Yu'an, no matter what he did, it didn't work.The only thing that can touch Liu Yu'an is probably what he said just now.

Before going out, He Mingxuan stopped.

"The cooperation matter I mentioned just now, I ask Ms. Liu to seriously consider it. He is willing to wait forever."

After speaking, he slammed the door and left.Leaving Liu Yu'an alone in the same place.

Liu Yu'an looked at the teacup on the table and thought over and over again: Chu Yutang is not at the house anymore?So where will she go?Why did she leave without telling herself?This is not like Chu Yutang's style. For so long, no matter where she is going or what she is going to do, she will tell herself exactly what she is going to do.I am afraid that I will worry, think wildly, and be inseparable from myself.

In fact, Chu Yutang couldn't do without Liu Yu'an.

For the first time, Liu Yu'an, who had always held Chu Yutang very firmly, felt uneasy.She didn't know whether this uneasiness came from knowing Aunt Yan's deliberate concealment from her, or Chu Yutang's sudden abnormality, or He Mingxuan's blunt wooing.

Ever since he went to Tianxiang Tower that day, Chu Yutang has been thinking hard about how to get the formula left in Jiangnan.She can't just watch Kang Youzhi sit back and enjoy the benefits, and transform the things of the Chu family into the wealth of the Kang family little by little.Shi Wanwan was summoned several times by Princess Changle, and each time it was said that Chu Yutang was not allowed to accompany her.

This made Chu Yutang anxiously scratching her ears and cheeks alone in the room, and she had already seen that Princess Changle didn't care about drinking.How could such a small Tangbang Pavilion attract the princess's attention.I blame myself for being too careless, if I hadn't brought Shi Wanwan with me on the opening day, maybe I wouldn't have provoked this annoying princess.

Shi Wanwan is also true!I have reminded her several times to beware of Princess Changle's deliberate approach.But what's going on these days, as soon as the princess sent someone, she went happily.

"Husband, I'm back." There was a voice outside the door that Chu Yutang had been worried about for a long time.

But when Shi Wanwan pushed open the door, she didn't hear any response.Strange, both Cumulus and Feixia said that my uncle went back to the room directly after dinner, she thought Chu Yutang had a bad appetite after hearing that.After searching for a while, I found that the man was sitting alone in the corner, the candle was far away, and the dark shadow made Chu Yutang very lonely.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Shi Wanwan asked in astonishment.

Chu Yutang was inexplicably angry, but he didn't know what he was angry about.But now she just doesn't want to talk to Shi Wanwan nicely.After a perfunctory response, he turned sideways and got closer to the wall.

Shi Wanwan walked over with a worried look on her face, and she was a little relieved when she saw Chu Yutang's pouting mouth clearly.But she was confused again, who provoked Chu Yutang?

"Are you angry?"

Chu Yutang turned her head around so that Shi Wanwan could see clearly.As if answering silently, yes, I am angry, you see clearly, I am angry at you!

Shi Wanwan looked at it very carefully, nodded, and said solemnly: "Yintang is not dark, but his complexion is not good either. Princess Changle is right, I need to give you more body."

Not to mention the person's name, Chu Yutang was in a much better mood when he saw Shi Wanwan.Now when she suddenly heard the words Princess Changle come out of Shi Wanwan's mouth, she pouted even higher.Seeing her child's temper tantrum, Shi Wanwan stopped talking to Chu Yutang.She never knew how to get along with children, let alone how to coax them.Since Chu Yutang refused to speak, let her be quiet.

"You went to see Princess Changle, and you won't call me Ah Chu when you come back." Chu Yutang stared blankly at the back of Shi Wanwan taking off her hair ornament.

Shi Wanwan gently put down the red hairpin in her hand, looked back at her, and asked puzzledly, "Are you angry because of this?"

Chu Yutang thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Recently, Princess Changle is always looking for you."

Shi Wanwan was even more puzzled.

"Do you mind if I didn't take you to see the Princess?"

Chu Yutang really wanted to tell Shi Wanwan loudly, no!What she cared about was that Princess Changle snatched Shi Wanwan away!But no matter how stupid she is, she knows that such words cannot be said, and once said, neither she nor Shi Wanwan can turn back.

"It's the Princess, who often asks about you in front of me." Seeing that Chu Yutang didn't say anything, Shi Wanwan sighed, then turned around and continued to remove her makeup.

Chu Yutang realized that he was making trouble out of no reason, and walked over with some embarrassment.She knew that Shi Wanwan must be very tired after spending the whole day with the princess, but she still had feelings for her inexplicably.

Shi Wanwan saw Chu Yutang standing behind her in the mirror, but she had already noticed it when she stood up from the dark.Especially when she saw her walking towards her step by step, Shi Wanwan's heart beat rapidly.

She didn't know where Chu Yutang's emotions came from just now, but she was keenly aware that it must have something to do with Princess Changle.Because when he mentioned the princess, Chu Yutang's eyes changed obviously.In fact, these few days, Shi Wanwan's heart is not feeling well.Every time I saw the princess, she would go around and question me about Chu Yutang, which made her have an unknown fire that was always burning.

Could it be that Chu Yutang's loss came from Princess Changle's willful absence?Shi Wanwan's complexion suddenly became ugly, and the eyes she looked at the person in the mirror were extremely complicated.
