As soon as she stepped into Huamanlou, she felt a festive atmosphere. Red lanterns were hung everywhere and the whole building looked brand new. Then she walked to a small courtyard behind the building. This was where Tang Wen and others lived. Red plums were planted in the courtyard, which was very appropriate for the New Year.

At this time, Bai Lu and Lan Yu were busy leading people to decorate the courtyard, posting couplets, hanging red ropes, etc. When they saw Mu Yan, they put down their work and came over.

"Miss, you are here."

"Lord."

When the shopkeeper Shen of Hua Man Lou saw Mu Yan, he wisely took the irrelevant people out.

Mu Yan chuckled: "It seems that you are in a good mood, and Lan Yu is also in good spirits."

Lan Yu smiled and said, "Thanks to the medicine given by Master Ling, I have fully recovered."

Bai Lu also looked at Mu Yan with gratitude, "I also want to thank Miss for allowing me a few days of home leave so that I can spend the New Year with my brother."

A lot of things have happened in the past year or so. It is thanks to the young lady that she and her brother can celebrate the New Year together today. How can she not be grateful?

"I, Tang Wen, will never forget the great kindness that the young lady has shown to my brother and me." At this time, Tang Wen also came out after hearing the news, followed by Guan Ming and others.

Mu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "You have taken such good care of Hua Man Lou for me, I should be thanking you, and Bai Lu has also helped me a lot."

Ling Yu also praised: "Yes, Sister Bai Lu may have done it. She has managed Qiyun Pavilion very comfortably. I am not used to your absence these few days. You must come back early."

Mu Yan poked her forehead and said, "I know your sister Bai Lu is capable, so why don't you learn from her?"

Bai Lu sneered and said, "Sister Ling Yu's martial arts skills also make me very envious. Don't worry, I will go back after the New Year."

Although she was just a servant beside Mu Yan, the young lady had never treated her badly, and everyone in Qiyun Pavilion was especially nice to her. How could she bear to not go back?

When Tang Wen saw this scene, the smile in his black eyes gradually deepened. Originally, he felt that it was unfair for his sister to be a maid, but if his sister was happy, he would feel relieved.

Mu Yan said softly, "By the way, I brought New Year gifts for each of you. Tang Wen, you can distribute them to everyone later."

"Thank you, Lord."

"Lord Ling, you are so busy yet you still think about us."

Everyone was delighted to receive the gifts, not because they were greedy for these gifts, but because they liked the feeling of being remembered. They were all people who had lost their families, and during the time they spent in Hua Man Lou, they all found a sense of home.

Everyone secretly swore in their hearts that they would do their best to serve their master.

"This is the master behind Hua Man Lou. Hello, master. I am the new employee of Hua Man Lou. You can just call me Xiao Liu."

A burst of playful laughter interrupted this warm moment, and a boy of about seventeen or eighteen walked in from outside the door holding a cup of tea.

Shopkeeper Shen tried to stop him, but he still forced his way in. "Hey, hey, hey, you can't come in. I told you you can't come in. Why is this guy so strong?"

Tang Wen frowned, motioned for Shen to leave, then took a step forward and scolded, "How dare you! When did I let you in?"

Guan Ming also stepped forward and stopped him with a knife.

Mu Yan waved her hand and looked up and down at the person in front of her. She saw that the young man was dressed simply, but there was no trace of timidity in his every move. He seemed a little nonchalant, but there was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.

It's quite interesting.

"Your name is Xiaoliu, what's your full name?"

The young man chuckled, a little uninhibited, "My parents didn't give me a real name, but my father's last name is Wang, so you can just call me Wang Xiaoliu."

Mu Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly: "What's the matter with you coming in?"

Wang Xiaoliu said slowly: "Oh, nothing much. There was just a very beautiful girl outside who said she wanted to see Manager Tang, so I came here to report it." After saying that, he gave Tang Wen an ambiguous look.

Mu Yan glanced at Tang Wen's expression and asked doubtfully, "Do you know who is outside the door?"

Wang Xiaoliu rushed to say: "That woman seems to be the most famous prostitute in the capital."

Mu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then please help me invite her in."

"Okay! Master!"

After Wang Xiaoliu left, Tang Wen immediately knelt down and apologized: "Lord, it is my fault for not managing your place properly that caused people to disturb your peace."

Mu Yan found a stone bench and sat down, motioned him to stand up, and then asked, "What is so special about that person? Tell me first."

She never doubted Tang Wen's ability. The man just now behaved so casually, but Tang Wen still kept him. Moreover, that man could enter and exit any place in Hua Manlou at will, which showed that he gave Wang Xiaoliu a lot of power.

He was not a reckless person, unless the young man had some ability that forced him to stay.

"Your Majesty is wise. This person does have some extraordinary abilities, but he is not worthy of being accepted by the upper class. However, I think of cherishing talents and appointing people based on their merits, so I want to observe him for a while before considering whether to introduce him to you. But I didn't expect that he would...

It’s all my fault.”

Mu Yan's fingers tapped lightly on the stone table top. This man was smart. He could guess that Tang Wen was not the real master of Hua Manlou not long after he arrived. He had just arrived here, but he had heard the news so quickly and found an excuse to come in and meet him. He was indeed clever.

"Tell me, what exactly is his ability that makes you look at him with new eyes."

"This..." Tang Wen seemed to have something difficult to hide.

Zhou Shirong laughed and said, "Brother Tang has left us empty-handed."

Mu Yan raised her eyebrows: "Is this person proficient in stealing?"

The next second, she discovered that her personal jade pendant was missing. That jade pendant also contained the secret order of the Lord of the Thirteen Killers of Fengdu.

She spoke in a leisurely and meaningful tone, "Well done, well done, I didn't even notice that he stole my jade pendant. It seems that this person is really capable."

Everyone sighed as well. They didn't expect that this person's ability to do something with nothing was so amazing that even a master like the boss didn't notice it.

After a while, an extremely charming voice came from outside the yard, and the next second, a woman dressed very seductively walked in. She bent her slender waist and took small steps, and her every frown and smile was captivating.

"Master, I've brought the person to you. I'll go down first." Wang Xiaoliu bowed and walked out. The next second, Mu Yan found that the jade pendant had returned to her body without her knowing.

This person is really interesting. Just when she was lost in thought, she heard You Hua say, "Manager Tang, why don't you say anything to me?"

Tang Wen coughed lightly: "Master, you must not be rude here."

It was then that You Hua noticed Mu Yan sitting next to her. She had only looked at Tang Wen since she came in. She didn't even glance at anyone else. She smiled awkwardly, "So the master is here too."

Mu Yan smiled slightly: "What brings you here today?"

You Hua looked aside coquettishly: "I'm here to see Manager Tang."
