Three days had passed since New Year's Eve.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Miao Yiniang handed over the Gluttonous House's account books, official seals, land deeds, and a bunch of other things to Liu Mei'er. She officially handed them over to Liu Mei'er.
Liu Mei'er had become the real boss of the entire Gluttonous House because of this!
From the pitiful girl who couldn't control her own fate in the past, she had transformed into a person of status in Yan Huang City. Liu Mei'er's fate had been completely changed because of Chu Mo and Xu Fufu.
Similarly, the person whose fate had changed because of Chu Mo was the most powerful woman in the Prince Mansion... Princess Yuan Zidai.
However, Liu Mei'er's change was from bad to good, while Yuan Zidai's fate... was straight into the abyss!
Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a few guards of the Fan Mansion sent the old man who was tied up to the Prince Mansion.
The guards didn't know what happened after that. They only sent a message back to Chu Mo saying that Prince Xia Jing didn't show up, but told someone to tell them, "Tell Chu Mo that he's sorry and thanks Childe Chu!"
The guards of the Fan Mansion were puzzled by Prince Xia Jing's words. Chu Mo only laughed when he heard it.
On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, news came that Princess Yuan Zidai of the Prince Mansion had died of a sudden illness.
After hearing the news, Chu Yan locked herself in her room and cried for the whole afternoon. She only came out in the evening. Ignoring Chu Mo's obstruction, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Mo respectfully to thank him.
The hatred of killing one's parents was irreconcilable, let alone the annihilation of one's family!
Chu Yan remembers Yuan Zidai's kindness to her. She can't take revenge with her own hands, but how can she not feel hatred in her heart?
Now that Yuan Zidai was dead, the hatred had dissipated, and the grudges of the past were gone with the wind.
Chu Mo didn't get any news about Xia Jie. However, on the third day of the Chinese New Year, when he and Chu Yan witnessed Miao Yiniang handing over the Gluttonous House to Liu Mei'er, he heard something from Miao Yiniang.
"Xia Jie has disappeared. When his mother died, he took advantage of the chaos and disappeared. No one knows where he went." Miao Yiniang looked at Chu Mo worriedly. "You have to be careful. He must hate you to the bone."
Chu Mo shook his head helplessly. This is the way of the world. You can send people to kill me, but I'm not allowed to retaliate … The problem is, why should I let you kill me?
"Don't worry. I'll be fine." Chu Mo smiled and then introduced Chu Yan to Miao Yiniang, including her background.
Miao Yiniang looked at Chu Mo and Chu Yan for a few times. She smiled and said, "I suddenly find that my young master is becoming more and more charming. He can even abduct a girl from the enemy's family. He's almost catching up to Xu Fufu!"
Chu Yan blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Chu Mo looked at Miao Yiniang helplessly. "If you don't like her, I'll take her back."
"Don't. I like her. I like her very much. I can't ask for such an excellent little sister." Miao Yiniang said and took Chu Yan's hand. She smiled and said, "She's mine. It's none of your business. You can leave now!"
Chu Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. Then, he told Chu Yan, "Just treat Yiniang as your real sister. She definitely won't bully you."
"Sigh, the surname Chu … It's really different. How about I change my surname tomorrow and call myself Chu Yiniang." Miao Yiniang sighed at the side.
Chu Yan said softly, "I didn't have a surname before. It was given to me by Young Master."
Miao Yiniang stopped joking and hugged Chu Yan with some heartache. "Good sister, I'm just joking. Don't worry. I'm your real sister from now on. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll help you deal with him! "
Then, Chu Mo said goodbye to Miao Yiniang and left Chu Yan there. He returned to the Fan Mansion alone.
One-armed uncle had returned with the latest news.
"Fengyun Auctions will auction the first batch of our goods on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year … which is the day after tomorrow." One-armed uncle said excitedly, "Young Master, we're going to be really rich soon!"
"Yes … we're going to be rich." Chu Mo smiled. Wealth could make people's lives better. It was the case since ancient times.
Even one-armed uncle, a man who didn't have much concept of wealth, was excited by this news. Its power was evident.
"When we get the money, we'll immediately renovate our mansion! When the general comes back, I'm afraid he won't believe that this is the Fan Mansion. "One-armed middle-aged man smiled.
"Don't go overboard. Be careful of being scolded." Chu Mo kindly reminded.
"Don't worry, Young Master. I know what I'm doing. I won't go overboard. That kind of luxurious style isn't the style of our general's mansion!" One-armed middle-aged man said and then said to Chu Mo, "Oh yes, there are a few top-grade medicinal herbs that will be auctioned in this auction."
"Oh?" Chu Mo raised his eyebrows and thought, 'This news can let Xia Jing know. Even if he can afford to buy those top-grade medicinal herbs now, he'll definitely feel the pinch. It's better to let Xia Jing spend the money. This prince's wealth is comparable to a country. It's only right for him to spend some money. '
With this thought, Chu Mo decided to go to the Prince Mansion in the afternoon.
However, before Chu Mo went, Xia Jing took the initiative to come.
It couldn't be helped. This prince didn't want to lower himself to take the initiative to visit. However, in the face of disease, it didn't matter if you were a prince or a commoner. It wouldn't let you go just because of your identity.
After taking that pill, he finally regained the confidence that he had lost for many years.
As a result, this prince, who had the power to rule the world, was like a young boy. He tasted the marrow, but he didn't dare to go overboard.
Because Chu Mo had reminded him, he didn't dare to disobey.
The princess's matter made Xia Jing realize that he had to make a decision as soon as possible.
He didn't want to wait for Chu Mo to take the initiative to visit. The reason was very simple. The assassination attempt on Chu Mo on New Year's Eve had scared him out of his wits. Although Chu Mo was fine, Xia Jing still felt a lingering fear.
If something happened to Chu Mo, who would he cry to?
Xia Jing knew about Yuan Zidai's secret dealings with some sects. However, he didn't tell Chu Mo about it due to some considerations. Because at that time, Chu Mo didn't show his true ability in refining medicine!
In the end, on New Year's Eve, Chu Mo was assassinated. Although he managed to escape, it made Xia Jing break out in cold sweat. If Chu Mo died, then he, Xia Jing, would really have no descendants.
Therefore, Xia Jing had to ensure that before he fully recovered, nothing could happen to Chu Mo!
Even if he fully recovered, he still hoped that he could turn from enemies to friends with Chu Mo. After all … no one could guarantee that they wouldn't need Chu Mo anymore.
The old assassin was secretly executed by Xia Jing. However, before he executed the old assassin, Xia Jing broke out in a cold sweat out of fright.
Because the assassin was a Huang Level Five Thousand-Man Killer!
