Chapter 256 People on a Boat
Chapter 256 People on a Boat
Seeing the looks in their eyes, Mu Qingqing smiled faintly and said, "Oh~ It's nothing, it's just that our Mr. Jiang made a deal with the Sun family before he left, and we just want to deliver the goods on time~"
"trade?"
Chen Guang and Xue Wenyan's faces turned ugly instantly when they heard this.
In their opinion, this is very likely that Jiang Chen and the Sun family have a private connection!
But when Sun Ruotong saw this scene, she became a little nervous.
After all, the Sun family is now trading with the grassland people. If this matter is leaked...
"Hehe~ You two adults, please chat slowly. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now~"
After seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Mu Qingqing smiled and left.
When Xue Wenyan saw Mu Qingqing leaving, he hurriedly chased after her.
That Zhang Tao is waiting to meet Mu Qingqing!
He must tell Mu Qingqing about this as soon as possible!
Mu Qingqing said that she was the shopkeeper under Jiang Chen, but Xue Wenyan felt that Mu Qingqing might be Jiang Chen's woman.
Moreover, Jiang Chen handed over all the household affairs to this woman, so this woman should be able to make the decision!
"Master Xue, do you have anything else to do?"
Mu Qingqing asked Xue Wenyan in confusion when she got off the carriage at the gate of Jiang Chen's house.
In fact, Mu Qingqing had already spotted Xue Wenyan on the road, but she just didn't say anything.
After all, Xue Wenyan is now investigating Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen’s affairs are exposed, then... Xue Wenyan will be their enemy!
"Miss Mu, can I talk to you? It's about honeycomb charcoal." Xue Wenyan said anxiously.
"Oh? About the honeycomb charcoal?"
Mu Qingqing frowned slightly, then made a gesture of invitation to Xue Wenyan.
……
After arriving at the hall and sitting down, Xue Wenyan looked at Mu Qingqing and felt a little nervous.
Because Xu Meng was standing behind Mu Qingqing.
At this time, Xu Meng was wearing a black suit and had the same black iron mask on his face as Xu Yunchang. He looked intimidating!
Even Xue Wenyan couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw it!
"Miss Mu, can we talk alone?" Xue Wenyan said with a frown.
For some reason, he always failed to show his dignity when facing Mu Qingqing.
This... is so strange!
When Mu Qingqing heard Xue Wenyan's words, she smiled faintly and said, "Haha, Master Xue, if you have anything to say, just tell me. This is the guard that my master and I trust the most. He won't tell anyone else!"
"Besides, our master gave me some instructions before he left. I cannot let this guard leave me alone. Please don't be offended, Master Xue!"
Mu Qingqing would not be alone with Xue Wenyan, so she simply put the blame on Jiang Chen.
"This……"
Xue Wenyan was slightly stunned.
However, he quickly found an excuse for himself. After all, Mu Qingqing was Jiang Chen's woman, so it was normal for Jiang Chen to be worried.
In order to deal with Zhang Tao as quickly as possible, Xue Wenyan stopped worrying about it.
"Miss Mu, it's like this, our honeycomb charcoal..."
Xue Wenyan told Mu Qingqing the whole story about honeycomb charcoal.
Including the fact that they have already donated the honeycomb charcoal to Eunuch Zhang, and now Zhang Tao is going to take over the honeycomb charcoal business.
"Oh? This Zhang Tao said he is here to take over the honeycomb charcoal?"
"Master Xue, did you see what evidence Zhang Tao brought?"
After listening to Xue Wenyan's words, Mu Qingqing frowned and asked.
……
"Does this... still require proof?"
"This Zhang Tao is Eunuch Zhang's man, he..." Xue Wenyan looked confused.
But Mu Qingqing said, "Haha, Master Xue, when my son left, he wrote me a letter, and he also mentioned the honeycomb charcoal thing in the letter."
"He said that Eunuch Zhang once said that he would be in charge of the honeycomb charcoal matters, and he did not ask for the formula of the honeycomb charcoal!"
"Now, Zhang Tao has not even said who he is. He is demanding the management rights of honeycomb charcoal simply because he claims to be Eunuch Zhang's man. Are we... going to agree to it so easily?"
"this……!?"
Xue Wenyan was shocked when he heard Mu Qingqing's words!
Yup!
What right does Zhang Tao have?
It is true that Xue Wenyan is Eunuch Zhang's subordinate, but he only listens to Eunuch Zhang!
After Zhang Tao came, he didn't reveal his identity, nor did he show his credentials. Why... why was he afraid of the other party! ?
"Master Xue, I will go to your residence tonight, and then... I will go to meet this Zhang Tao."
"But if he doesn't have a handwritten letter from Eunuch Zhang, or a token proving his identity, then I think... we can't give the honeycomb charcoal to him."
"What do you think?"
Mu Qingqing looked at Xue Wenyan's shocked expression and smiled faintly.
"Miss Mu...you are being polite. This matter...I am being abrupt!"
Xue Wenyan looked embarrassed.
But you can't blame him.
In fact, he never thought that someone would dare to impersonate Eunuch Zhang!
Moreover, this Zhang Tao is so arrogant, it doesn’t seem fake!
But what if?
When Mu Qingqing saw Xue Wenyan's expression, she said, "Master Xue, although this is the first time I meet you, I have heard our Master mention you many times."
"Our young master said that you have been very kind to him and that you are his uncle~"
"So, I'll just say some things directly. Is that okay?"
……
"Sure! Please tell me clearly!"
Xue Wenyan looked at Mu Qingqing seriously.
Although he had just met Mu Qingqing, Mu Qingqing's calmness, composure, and wisdom made him look at her differently.
"Haha~ Lord Xue, this honeycomb charcoal is presented to Eunuch Zhang by you and my son."
"To be frank, your success today is also due to this honeycomb charcoal."
"But if you want to go further, in my opinion, you still need to do a good job on the honeycomb charcoal."
"If this honeycomb charcoal is promoted in the hands of my young master and you, and in the hands of Zhang Tao, I guess... the effect will be different, right?"
"this……!?"
When Xue Wenyan heard Mu Qingqing's words, he was stunned!
What Mu Qingqing said makes sense!
How could he have overlooked this before!?
If he and Jiang Chen had not handled the honeycomb charcoal issue, but Zhang Tao had handled it.
Then... wouldn't Eunuch Zhang look down on them?!
Thinking of this, Xue Wenyan felt a chill down his spine!
He almost made a big mistake!
"Miss Mu, thank you for your reminder. I now know what to do!"
Xue Wenyan looked at Mu Qingqing with gratitude.
He has been a little confused recently because of Xue Bin's matter!
How could he be so out of touch!
"Master Xue, there is no need to do this. My son and Master Xue are in the same boat. We will prosper together and suffer together. So... my son and I will fully support and protect Master Xue~"
