After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

“Dangdang…Dangdangdang!” Chu Nanyue slapped the four banknotes on the table. After that, she added proudly, “Net profit!”

"Yes, a lot. A Yue is awesome!" Chu Ziyu praised with a smile.

Chu Nanyue stared at Chu Ziyu's calm face and narrowed her eyes: "Brother, why don't you rub your hands?"

“Hahaha!” Chu Ziyu knew that Chu Nanyue was teasing him, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Big brother has done nothing but rub his hands in the past month. Look, the skin on his hands has even come off!”

After that, he spread his hands in front of Chu Nanyue for her to see.

Chu Nanyue believed it to be true, smiled and went forward to take a look.

That's right! She likes to see her brother excited.

Unexpectedly, before she could see clearly, she saw the big hand coming towards her, and she was hit on the head.

Chu Nanyue covered her forehead and muttered belatedly, "Humph, big brother has learned bad habits and now he can even lie to others."

Chu Ziyu smiled and said, "I won't tease you anymore. Go check the secret compartment yourself!"

Chu Nanyue went there with a smile, and saw an extra box inside. She opened it and saw that the thickness was almost the same as the silver notes Xiao Yihang and Su Xi gave on the day Cang Yue Hot Pot Restaurant opened. She said in disbelief, "Brother... How can our hot pot restaurant make so much money in a month?"

Now it was Chu Ziyu's turn to appreciate Chu Nanyue's expression. He said with satisfaction, "The net profit is almost three thousand taels!"

"Three...thousand?" Chu Nanyue was dumbfounded.

I thought there would be more, but I didn’t expect this many!

"Wouldn't that mean we would become rich overnight?" Chu Nanyue's eyes were full of stars.

Before, whether it was the money earned from fighting in the arena or the rewards from Xiao Hanye, she felt that there was a kind of speculation. Of course, she was happy, but it was more of a fluke. There was no such joy as this moment that made her feel at ease and happy.

Chu Ziyu nodded: "About the same!"

Then, he continued slowly, "Our hot pot restaurant is famous for its novelty, service, and environment. It is always packed with customers. I am considering opening another branch. What do you think, Ah Yue?"

Chu Nanyue immediately agreed, "Doing business means seizing the first opportunity. It's always right to make more money. To borrow a phrase from Boss Feng, how much you can earn depends on your ability. Go for it! You must do it!"

So, the two hit it off again and planned to open a branch after the new year.

The days passed by and it was the end of the year, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The lively, festive and strong New Year atmosphere came all of a sudden. In ancient times, people attached great importance to customs, so the New Year atmosphere was particularly strong.

Chu Nanyue and Chu Ziyu plan to close the store at 3 p.m. today to let all the employees have a good new year, and reopen the store on the fifth day of next year to welcome the God of Wealth.

Here, Chu Nanyue and Chu Ziyu were doing the finishing touches in their respective shops, while Chu Zixun took Su Mu to have fun in the bustling streets filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Su Mu liked to stick to Chu Zixun the most. Hanmo Academy was also on vacation, so Su Xi simply let go and followed him.

"Second brother, I want to eat candied haws!"

"Okay, buy it!"

Chu Zixun handed ten cents to the candied haws seller and immediately ordered four strings, two for Su Mu, one for Shitou, and one for himself.

"Second brother, I want to eat pancakes!"

"Okay, buy it!"

Chu Zixun generously bought all kinds of flavors. Their Chu family was now a wealthy family, so they bought whatever they wanted.

He promised his sister that he would take good care of Su Mu today.

"Second brother, I don't want to eat pancakes anymore. I want to eat candied melon sticks!"

Su Mu had a childish nature. When he saw Zhima lose the watermelon, he returned the pancake that Chu Zixun had just handed to him, pointed at the dazzling array of candied fruits, and said with stars in his eyes.

Wow! So much food!

He doesn't have enough eyes!

His mother and sister won't let him eat!

He will have a feast today.

Chu Zixun looked at the boss helplessly, but the boss just snuffed out his little flame: "The money has been paid, no refunds or exchanges!"

Chu Zixun grinned slightly: "I don't want to retreat, I just want to take a look!"

After saying this, he took a big bite of the pancake.

Shitou also picked one up and took a big bite: "It's just a few cents, who are you looking down on?"

The monthly salary that the eldest son gave him increased several times.

"Second brother, are you going to buy it for me?" Su Mu waited for a long time, and when she turned around, she saw the two men eating pancakes happily, so she pouted and shouted.

Tired of shouting, he simply started eating by himself from the candied fruit stall.

In the end, Chu Zixun bought a basket of candied fruits with tears in his eyes.

Even if you have money you can’t make it like this!

"Second brother, I want to eat water chestnuts..."

"No, you don't want to eat!" Chu Zixun quickly interrupted him.

"Why is second brother so stingy? I just want to eat water chestnut cake!" Su Mu was not happy.

How can you not try such crystal clear ice cake?

"Just buy one!" Chu Zixun couldn't stand Su Mu's resentful look and compromised.

"Second brother is the best!" Su Mu laughed happily and clapped her hands.

Chu Zixun caressed Su Mu's little head lovingly.

The two looked at each other, and Shitou, who was standing beside them, was dazed for a moment. He came to his senses and said respectfully, "Second Master, we bought too many things. Why don't we go home? It's time for the eldest master and the young lady to finish their work and go home!"

"Okay!" Chu Zixun looked up at the sun in the sky and nodded in agreement.

Su Mu was jumping in front with a candied haws in his left hand and a handful of candied fruits in his right hand, while Chu Zixun and Shi Tou were following him, chatting and laughing.

This was probably Chu Zixun's last happy and relaxing time.

So many years later, when he thought of this turning point in his life, he couldn't help but think, if he hadn't taken a shortcut home that day, would he have lived happily with his elder brother and sister forever in the Chu family compound? And his elder brother wouldn't have suffered an unexpected disaster because of him?

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

What is supposed to happen will always happen.

"Where did you come from, little brat? Don't you look where you're walking? How dare you throw a candied haws all over me? Lick it clean for me!"

"I didn't see it. I'm sorry to you. At most I can compensate you with a set of clothes!" Su Mu looked at the ferocious fat white man in front of him and shuddered instinctively, but still raised his childish voice and spoke loudly.

"If an apology is useful, why do we need the Dali Temple? This is the brocade cloth that the emperor gave to my father. Can you afford it?"

The fat white man lowered his eyes and looked at the sticky stuff on his lapel, and he couldn't help but get angry. He rubbed against Su Mu in anger.

This was the New Year clothes his mother made for him, and it got dirty the moment he put it on. It's really outrageous.

Su Mu had been confined in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion for many years, so where had he seen such a scene? He immediately raised his hand and slapped the fat white man in the face and ran back.

Chu Zixun heard a crisp "pop" sound, his heart trembled, and he immediately raised his legs and ran towards the alley.

Just then he saw Su Mu running towards him, so he hugged him and asked worriedly, "Mu Mu, were you beaten?"

"Second Young Master, he's there!" At this time, a rude voice came from behind, and then they were surrounded by many servants.

Chu Zixun looked towards the alley and saw an angry fat face.

"Shen Hui?!"

"Chu Zixun?!" Shen Hui also saw Chu Zixun's face clearly.

"I was wondering whose family this bastard was from who not only hit someone but also beat them up without apologizing? Turns out he's the mad dog from your Chu family. This is what they call birds of a feather flock together!" Shen Hui roared, covering his aching cheek.

He and Chu Zixun really have a conflict of fate.

First, Wenxuan Ge had an argument with him and his arm was broken by his sister. He was in pain for three days and three nights. Not only did he fail to get justice, but his father asked him to endure humiliation.

Hanmo Academy wanted to punish him every day, but he and the evil star Qin Ke were like conjoined twins, so they had no idea where to start.

Today, he was slapped in public by a little kid in his family.

New grudges and old hatreds, let’s settle them together!

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't start talking nonsense right away!" Chu Zixun was not someone to be trifled with. He shouted at Su Mu, then said gently to him, "Mu Mu, go ahead!"

Although Su Mu looked immature, he was very capable at the critical moment. He spoke clearly, "Second brother, I accidentally bumped into this guy named Shen Hui while walking. I apologized immediately and wanted to compensate him for his clothes, but he refused to give in and wanted to hit me. I had no choice but to accidentally slap him in the face during the argument."

He hid behind Chu Zixun and poked his head out: "I can afford to compensate for your clothes, just go to the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion to get the silver!"

"Young Master Shen, the young master was certainly wrong about what happened today, but the main fault is yours. You shouldn't bully others by taking advantage of your power. Don't you want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion for a face-to-face confrontation? Name an amount, and we will compensate you with silver!" Chu Zixun protected Su Mu behind him. He stood in front of Shen Hui and said in a deep voice.

Shen Hui was not going to listen to what Chu Zixun said. He wanted to wash away his previous shame, and seeing that Qin Ke was not by his side, how could he miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

He must make Chu Zixun and this little boy pay for their stupid behavior today.

He raised his fat hand and said, "Come here, take them down and kowtow to me and admit your mistakes!"

The many servants surrounding Chu Zixun immediately pounced on them.

Chu Zixun quickly pushed Su Mu to the side of the stone: "Take Mu Mu away quickly!"

Shitou protected Su Mu and asked worriedly, "Second Young Master, what are you going to do?"

Chu Zixun kicked a servant away and said, "Today I just want to practice the skills that Uncle Leng taught me. Go find my sister and ask her to invite King Chen to come!"

Prince Chen is in charge of the capital's public security. If he encounters a fight, the worst that can happen is that everyone gets beaten with a stick and that's it. He's thick-skinned and isn't afraid of a beating!

Seeing Shi Tou running away with Su Mu, Shen Hui did not send anyone to chase them. The person he hated the most was Chu Zixun. He wanted to beat him half to death and make him kneel in front of him like a dog and beg for mercy.

But he didn't know that Chu Zixun is no longer the same person as before.

Under Leng Jiu's guidance for many days, he was able to easily deal with the servant who had no fighting ability.

"Come on, come on, let's fight in a round!" Shen Hui was so angry that he started cursing when he saw that so many people were unable to do anything to Chu Zixun.

Since Chu Zixun took a shortcut home, they were now in a secluded alley, so there was no one around.

The rustling leaves and the screaming crows all indicate that today is an unusual day.

Here, Shitou quickly brought Su Mu to Yuennifang. He said with an unsteady breath, "Sister Xiangxiang, where is the girl? It's bad, the second young master and the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion had an argument!"

Xiang Xiang paused, her bright eyes flashed with a faint light: "Where are they? I'm going to find Nan Yue!"

After hearing Shitou's reply, she immediately ran out, and reminded Shitou: "You stay here to protect the young master!"

"Hurry...he's exhausted, come together and hold him down!" Shen Hui saw Chu Zixun's figure began to stagger, and shouted in a shrill voice.

Sweat broke out on Chu Zixun's forehead. He was caught off guard and tripped by a servant. He suddenly fell to the ground and was then crushed by the swarm of them.

Shen Hui looked at Chu Zixun who was subdued with pride. He approached him step by step: "Fight? Aren't you quite capable? Why don't you fight?"

Chu Zixun pretended to bite him: "That's all you are capable of. What else can you do besides bullying others?"

"Want to bite me? You can't! Haha!" Shen Hui twisted his big fat waist proudly. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Chu Zixun hard.

"Don't you like to show off? The slap that little boy gave me just now was given to you on the face!"

The slap he gave was so heavy and loud that Chu Zixun's eyes glowed with gold.

He shook his head, spat out the blood in his mouth, and stared with his fiery eyes as ferociously as a wolf cub ready to pounce.

Shen Hui was so frightened that he took a step back: "What are you staring at? If you dare to stare at me again, I'll dig out your eyes!"

Chu Zixun roared, and a burst of strength came from nowhere, breaking free from the restraints of more than a dozen servants, and pounced towards Shen Hui.

The two of them fell to the ground and rolled down the stone steps at the end of the alley...

Both of them were bruised and blue in the face as they tumbled down. In the end, Chu Zixun was pinned down by Shen Hui, and his belly was almost burst. He endured the discomfort and raised his legs to kick Shen Hui.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he kicked, Shen Hui let out a miserable cry, and then he spat out a large mouthful of thick blood from his mouth.

Chu Zixun was stunned. He wiped his face with trembling hands, opened his blood-soaked eyes, and saw that Shen Hui was still spitting out blood.

He was frightened and trembled, "What... happened to you?"

"You... dare to kill me?!" Shen Hui pointed at him, his eyes widened, with endless anger and unwillingness, his body drooped heavily.

"I... didn't!" Chu Zixun was confused. He tried hard to crawl out from under him, but Shen Hui, who didn't move, held him down tightly.

"Axun!" Chu Ziyu turned his wheelchair over here without anyone noticing.

He climbed down from the wheelchair and helped push Shen Hui's fat body.

"Murder...someone...someone's been murdered!" A group of servants at the top of the alley finally showed up, clenching their fists and stomping the ground, shouting from afar.

"Axun, run!" Chu Ziyu raised his eyes and saw a group of servants, he shouted quickly.

Chu Zixun was blocked by his wheelchair, so the servant should not be able to see him.

"No! I can't leave! If I leave, I won't be able to explain myself! Big brother will also be implicated to death by me!" Chu Zixun was unwilling to leave. He struggled to get up, "Let's run together. I'll push Big brother and we'll go together!"

"They saw my face, I can't leave, hurry up and leave, Big Brother didn't kill him, nothing will happen to him!"

Chu Ziyu saw that the servant was about to come down, and in a hurry, he suddenly reached out and pushed Chu Zixun into an inconspicuous pit.
