Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

4Mu Chen's restaurant, Jin Xuan, had excellent business. Before winter, he opened a branch shop in South City.    4

    

The capital was rich and there were many people with money in their pockets. They heard that there was a medicinal restaurant in the capital that mainly provided health care. Not only did it provide all sorts of fruits over the season, there were also many interesting stories that they wanted to join in on the fun.    

    

The richer they were, the more they cared about their lives, and the more they wanted to live, the longer they would live. The longer they lived, the more they would be able to live, and the longer they would live, and the longer they would live, the longer they would live, and the more they would want to live, and the longer they would live.    

    

The restaurant was decorated with a row of stools for the customers to rest and wait for, and they even ordered the servants to bring tea over. They were extremely considerate and gained the goodwill of many customers.    

    

The room on the second floor was elegant and quiet, and when you opened the window you could listen to the books below. The room was a bit expensive, and was still reserved for a month due to the shortage of money every day.    

    

Those who had been there praised Jin Xuan's dishes, such as good wine, medicine, and service. Those who had never been to Jin Xuan's restaurant would see it filled with people every day, and when they talked to others about it, it became a different kind of publicity. Not to mention that the young masters and mistresses almost fought over this room.    

    

Shen Jingli looked at the Pure silver and felt very satisfied.    

    

Whether it was sending out flyers or having the King Jing take charge, the dishes in the restaurant were all meticulously chosen by him and Mu Chen. Not to mention the capital, no one in the entire Great Yan Dynasty had eaten them, they were both delicious and fresh, with a few delicacies for dining, specially trained waiters, the combination of dishes and cups and plates, the implications behind every dish, all of them were new experiences for every customer.    

    

This was especially true for the daughter of the Grand Princess, Fatty Cheng. For the past two monthshee had been eating the medicinal food specially designed by the chef for her, but he had actually lost more than ten kilograms. Even after drinking her saliva, she had unexpectedly lost weight.    

    

During the winter, Shen Jingli also brought Mu Chen hot pot, and the business was even better than ever before.    

    

The Great Yan Dynasty s originally had a hotpot, but the bottom of the hotpot was very simple, it was a simple Clear Broth Pot and there weren't too many ingredients, thus, other than warming their bodies in winter, there were very few people who would eat hotpot. The hotpot that Jin Xuan introduced was mainly a mandarin duck pot.    

    

Even the emperor left the palace and stayed at the Jinjing Pavilion for a few days. Before leaving, he waved his hand and left Mo Bao for them. With the word shop personally set up by the emperor, their business was flourishing day by day.    

    

Shen Jingli looked at the numbers on the account book again and again with a smile that never stopped.    

    

Mu Chen sat on the kang with Xun Er, and told the child a story with the picture book. The little fellow was restless and couldn't rest, it wriggled in Mu Chen's embrace and wanted to run down to play, but Mu Chen was worried that he would get a cold from running out, so it refused to let him go, so the little guy begged Shen Jingli for help, "Mama, Mama, hug me."    

    

Mu Jin and Chen Jianxiu were at home, the moment they entered they heard Xun Er's voice, and immediately rushed over to hug their nephew, coaxing him: "Xun Er, what's wrong? Did your father bully you? "You tell your uncle, your uncle will help you beat him up."    

    

"Uncle." Xun Er leaned over and rubbed his face a little.    

    

Chen Jian also liked Xun Er a lot. Looking at Xun Er, he would think of his brother who was far away from him in Jiang City, and did not know how his mother and the others were doing, whether his brother had grown fatter or become skinnier. His eyes flashed, and he picked up the rattle at the side to play with Xun Er.    

    

Mu Chen lifted his head, glanced at them both, and instructed them: "You are not allowed to bring him out."    

    

Mu Jin agreed, then went on the brick bed and started fooling around with Xun Er.    

    

After Shen Jingli finished settling the bill, he saw that Mu Chen had changed his clothes and was preparing to leave the room. He was a little suspicious, "What business do you have today?"    

    

"King Jing is treating me to tea."    

    

Shen Jingli raised his eyebrows, feeling that the King Jing had asked Mu Chen to tea a few times. Although Mu Chen did not have any official business at the moment, didn't they need to avoid him?    

    

— —    

    

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day. On this day, someone finally came from the Mu Family to invite Mu Chen back to the residence, saying that it was the Old Lady who wanted to see him.    

    

Shen Jingli thought it was extremely strange. They had been back in the capital for a few months and their Mu Family s had never turned a blind eye. And just to meet Mu Chen, the servant that came to invite him did not even mention Mu Jin, much less him and Xun Er?    

    

"Did you do something to piss off the Old Lady?" Shen Jingli helped Mu Chen change into a new set of clothes, and asked with some curiosity.    

    

"I'll get someone to take away the lease of the hundred acres of land outside South City." Therefore, before winter arrived, he had his people take over the rent first. With a hundred mu of land, he paid sixty percent of the rent, which was a lot of food, and could at least be sold for several tens of thousands of silver taels. It was no wonder that the Old Lady would be angry.    

    

"What about the lease of Mu Family?" For such a grand Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion, he couldn't even bear to part with several tens of thousands of silver?    

    

"It's not that I'm not willing to part with it, I just don't want to give it to me." Mu Chen sneered, it was his things in the first place, only because he had been in the army camp all year long and had his mother take care of it. After his mother was taken care of, all the shops and mansions under his name, as well as his mother's dowry, were all given to him.    

    

Shen Jingli was stunned and could not really understand what the Old Lady Mu was thinking. After all, he was Mu Chen's grandson and he had always respected her so much.    

    

The human heart is truly a very subtle thing. Some people will never find you pleasing to the eye just because of what you've done well. Perhaps the better you've done, the more she'll dislike you.    

    

"You're going to have a showdown with her?" When Old Lady called him back this way, she probably wanted to give him a good beating.    

    

"I'm also not someone who can be easily taken advantage of."    

    

Shen Jingli nodded his head in understanding. Mu Chen was very fierce, and was not something that ordinary people could handle. He suddenly stopped worrying and called the servant to prepare the carriage.    

    

After dressing up, Mu Chen went out the door. The Mu Mansion servant waited at the entrance, but Mu Chen ignored him.    

    

The old butler of Mu Mansion was one of the old soldiers under Old Man Mu. He had injured his leg on the battlefield, and after retiring from the army, he became a manager in Mu Family.    

    

"Young Master, you're finally back? How are you doing in the Southern Wilderness? What about the Madam and Young Master Jin? " He had heard that the journey to the Southern Wilderness was dangerous, that he had met with bandits and assassinations. He had been worrying about the safety of his wife and young master all day, and worried that something might happen to them.    

    

"My mother passed away." Mu Chen said calmly.    

    

The old butler was so shocked that he did not say anything. Looking at Mu Chen's peaceful face, he thought that Mu Chen was pretending to be strong and patted his shoulder to comfort him.    

    

Mu Chen did not speak, and very quickly, a servant brought him to the Old Lady's Green Pine Academy.    

    

Old Lady sat on the main seat, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.    

    

Mu Chen was not deterred. He greeted calmly, then sat down and asked casually: "I wonder what business Old Lady has for you to call me back so hastily?"    

    

When Old Lady Mu saw that he did not hear her, she just sat down casually. Her expression became even more unsightly, she once again hit the floor with her walking stick, and said with an unfriendly tone: "Do you even have a grandmother like me in your eyes?"    

    

"Of course, I'm afraid grandmother doesn't have a grandson like me in her eyes." Mu Chen said indifferently.    

    

Not even serving him tea was enough to make him feel like a beggar. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he maintained his faint smile.    

    

Old Lady Mu was completely enraged by her words, her breathing had become short, as if she would faint in the next second. The mama at the side hurriedly patted her back to ease her anger, and then turned to teach Mu Chen a lesson: "Second Young Master, Old Lady's health is not good, how can you say something so outrageous to anger her?"    

    

Insolence? You call it treason if you want to speak the truth?    

    

Mu Chen found it funny, raising his head to glance at the mama, who immediately felt like she was being hunted by a wild beast, as her whole body stiffened and she did not dare move. She leaned towards the back of Old Lady, her heart pounding wildly, and thought to herself, Second Young Master went to the Southern Wilderness, and he seems to have become even sharper, his eyes like that of a terrifying beast.    

    

"Grandmother, if there's nothing else, your grandson will go back first." His time was precious.    

    

Mu Chen slowly stood up.    

    

When the Old Lady Mu heard this, she became extremely angry and shouted at Mu Chen, "You evil creature, kneel down!"    

    

Mu Chen raised his eyes and stared at Old Lady Mu, but he could not find any trace of warmth in his eyes.    

    

"What's with your attitude?" Old Lady Mu was so angry that her face turned sinister, she snorted and said, "You really are a good son taught by the Yang family, you don't understand manners at all, the daughter of a small family don't know the rules."    

    

Hearing her call him mother, Mu Chen's eyes became colder, he smiled and said: "The dead are enough, I hope Old Lady can be merciful."    

    

If the person in front of him wasn't his grandmother, then perhaps he would have already thrown a punch at her. However, the person in front of him was his grandmother, and if he really hurt her, then people would definitely accuse him of being unfilial and implicate his maternal grandfather and family.    

    

"You, you, you …" Old Lady Mu extended her trembling finger and pointed at Mu Chen. Very clearly, she was angered by Mu Chen's attitude, "You, you, you unfilial grandson, you are truly a heaven defying person."    

    

She tried her best to take a deep breath and asked, "Tell me, did you take away the one hundred mu of land in the south of the city?"    

    

"That's the land that was given to me. What's wrong with renting it?" Mu Chen laughed, and said indifferently.    

    

"Those lands have been incorporated into the court and no longer belong to you." Old Madam Mu knocked against her walking stick again, "You have already been expelled from your family, so the Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion has nothing to do with you."
