Indeed, outside of the capital, Family Meng's reputation was far inferior to that of Family Mu and Nie Family. Ordinary people did not even know about them.
They were even inferior to Diwu Family.
As the number of fortune-tellers gradually decreased, Diwu Family had already turned to business as early as the late 20th century.
Although it was not as good as Family Mu, it had a solid foundation.
After all, Diwu Family's family history could be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.
Diwu Shaoxuan's talent in fortune-telling was so good because his ancestors had always been in the Forbidden City to perform fortune-telling for the imperial family's disciples.
To the outside world, Family Meng was a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
However, only those who had really come into contact with Family Meng knew that even though Family Meng's history was far inferior to these few families, their strength was terrifyingly strong.
An ancient doctor must be protected by an ancient martial arts practitioner.
A powerful ancient martial arts practitioner could directly wipe out an ordinary large family in the secular world.
This was also why large families were committed to finding ancient martial arts practitioners.
With an ancient martial arts practitioner in charge, what was there to be afraid of?
Mu Chen Zhou did not know about the existence of ancient doctors, so he had always felt that Family Meng could not be compared to Family Mu.
However, he had heard from Mrs. Mu that Mu Heqing's illness was completely treated by Family Meng's godly doctors.
This was not considered a secret in Family Mu.
As long as Mu Heqing was around, Family Mu would not fall.
Therefore, every member of Family Mu was in awe of Family Meng's family members.
The more Mu Chenzhou thought about it, the more he felt that Ying Zijin really had no foresight, and he was even more disappointed.
Even Family Mu would not compete with Family Meng for things. Whatever Family Meng needed, it should be prepared.
Snatching the rare tulip variety that Family Meng had pre-ordered?
Wasn't this directly cutting off their own path of retreat?
Family Meng's family members were all skilled in medicine and were spread across the country and even the world's major hospitals.
If she offended Family Meng, no one would treat her when she got sick in the future.
Mu Chen Zhou also knew this, so she asked Ying Zijin to give up this auction item.
This was a reminder and advice for her.
The guests in the banquet hall did not expect such a thing to happen in the middle of the auction.
The person who spoke was Chen Zhou, the son of Family Mu.
In an instant, all eyes were on the girl who raised the placard.
His eyes were filled with curiosity and astonishment, as well as some scrutiny.
Zhong Manhua didn't look at it.
Her fingers clenched the bag in her hand, and a strong sense of embarrassment rushed to her head, making it hard for her to breathe.
The reason why she would rather give Ying Zijin a glass of juice with sleeping pills in it than bring Ying Zijin to the banquet was because of this situation.
Now, not only had she embarrassed herself in front of the rich and powerful circle in Hu City, but she had also embarrassed herself in front of the young masters and daughters of the Imperial Capital.
After a long time, Zhong Manhua finally managed to catch her breath.
Her initial decision was right. The eldest daughter of Family Ying could only be Ying Yuexuan.
"Mu Chen Zhou, you're really funny." In the silence, Ying Tianlu stood up. "May I ask what right do you have to stop the auction?"
His eyes were cold and gloomy. "If I remember correctly, even your invitation card was not given by Elder Mu. Who do you think you are to not allow others to participate?"
As soon as he said this, the guests were shocked.
The people who came to this banquet were all from the rich and powerful families, and they all knew Mu Chen Zhou's identity.
Family Mu of the Imperial Capital!
Therefore, even if this banquet was not organized by him, on the surface, everyone regarded him as half the host.
"Heavenly law!" Zhong Manhua's expression also changed, but there were so many people and she could not speak too loudly. She could only clench her teeth and suppress her voice. "Heavenly law, you're crazy!"
Family Ying was one of the four rich and powerful families, but how could it be compared to Family Mu?
If they offended Family Mu, how could Family Ying achieve anything in the business world in the future?
Family Mu could easily block Family Ying's path with just one sentence.
Mu Chen Zhou was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "My invitation was indeed not given by my grandfather. I got it with my own ability."
Ying Tianlu's eyes were slightly sharp as he sneered.
He, who had always been elegant and noble, directly said vulgarly, "Then what nonsense are you talking about?"
The guests whispered to each other.
Mu Chen Zhou pursed her lips.
Beside him, the man finally reacted.
There seemed to be a hint of a smile in his eyes, but it did not reach his eyes.
He leisurely took a sip of tea before opening his mouth. His voice was as cold as jade, pleasant to the ear. "Sorry, I wanted this rare flower too much."
"But I didn't bring that much money with me at the moment, so I can only ask this lady to withdraw from this auction and reluctantly give up her treasure."
"After this, Family Meng will make a house call for you for free, without any charge."
Zhong Manhua suddenly raised her head and was pleasantly surprised for a moment.
She had been asking Mrs. Mu to contact Family Meng, but Family Meng had not come.
Now that there was such a good opportunity in front of her, she must not miss it.
Old Lady Ying's headache could not be delayed.
"She will withdraw from the auction." Zhong Manhua tidied up her clothes, stood up, and smiled at the man. "She doesn't know anything about flowers, so it would be a waste to sell it. She will give it to Sir."
After saying that, she turned her head and called out very gently, "Zijin, quickly agree. If you want flowers, Mom will go back and buy you a lot of pots, okay?"
A flower in exchange for a free house call from Family Meng.
"Mrs. Ying is really interesting. You're starting to play the family card at this time." Fu Yunshen's eyelashes moved. He chuckled and said in a cold tone, "Do you need me to remind you again —"
"Yaoyao's household registration has already been moved out of Family Meng. She is no longer a member of your Family Meng. You still call yourself Mom. Did you not take your medicine today?"
Ying Zijin supported her head with one hand. Her eyes were like snow, and her tone was cold and slow. "I can't be sure if I eat too much."
Zhong Manhua was in disbelief.
It was as if she had been punched in the air. Even the blood on her lips had faded away.
She heard the whispering of the ladies about her, who were on friendly terms with her, and looked up at her.
"Sigh, so she was not driven out. She left on her own? Mrs. Ying, you're really talking nonsense. "
"Forget it. I'm used to it. Manhua, you've always valued your face. It's normal for you to lie."
"But Manhua, you … You're not my mother. How could you say that sentence just now?"
Zhong Manhua's ears were buzzing, and she could not stand steadily.
Her face turned green and white.
She had always valued her face. She was an elegant noble lady in front of and behind people.
How could she be said like that?
Ying Yuexuan quickly helped her sit down. "Mom, drink some hot water."
Zhong Manhua's body was cold. Her fingers were trembling, and her throat was dry. "Your sister … Your sister is simply …"
Ying Yuexuan frowned. "Mom, isn't the auction won by the highest bidder? Besides, it was my sister who saw the tulip first. Since she has money and bid a high price, it's hers. "
"Where did she get the money?" Zhong Manhua's chest heaved up and down. She sneered. "Look at who she's with. Fu Yunshen! "
"She sold herself when others gave her some money. Do you think she earned it herself?"
She had never given Ying Zijin a card. Even Ying Yuexuan did not have a million yuan pocket money. How could Ying Zijin have it?
Ying Yuexuan did not speak.
The man who spoke earlier frowned and looked at Mu Chen Zhou.
Mu Chen Zhou shook her head. "Family Ying is a bit complicated."
The man thought for a moment and did not ask any more questions. He only said, "You must get it today."
"I'll give it to you." Mu Chen Zhou nodded. "She's young and insensible. I hope you won't hold it against her."
These words were directed at Ying Zijin.
"Oh?" The man's smile deepened. "Of course I won't hold it against a little girl."
Even if the people here knew medicine, they would not be able to tell that this tulip was actually a very precious medicinal herb, Snow Ganoderma.
Only ancient healers knew how to use Snow Ganoderma.
In ordinary people's homes, it was indeed a flower that was more ornamental.
Mu Chen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and motioned to the auctioneer on the stage. "Start again."
The auctioneer was originally from the capital. Naturally, he would not offend Mu Chen Zhou and Family Meng.
"I'll help you win it." Mu Chen Zhou said and raised her card. "Fifty thousand."
The auctioneer's gavel fell quickly, for fear of being robbed.
Only then did the man's slightly furrowed brows slowly relax.
However, just before the auctioneer's gavel fell for the third time, a lazy and low voice sounded.
"Five million."
"…"
The whole place was dead silent.
"Or —"
Fu Yunshen turned his head. His handsome face was instantly revealed in front of everyone. It was not an exaggeration to say that he could turn everyone upside down.
His tone was as lazy as ever, but when you listened carefully, it was wrapped in coldness. "You can also let me not participate in this auction."
Mu Chen Zhou's expression was completely unsightly. Her lips were pursed even tighter.
The man next to her also restrained his smile and looked at the source of the voice for the first time.
The moment he saw it, his pupils constricted.
