Just then, a team of yamen runners and several shop owners slowly returned.

Nanny Li's face was slightly solemn. She quickly walked to Murong Zixi's side and said to her in a low voice, "Miss, these account books only contain records from last year and this year. The jade shop's account books only contain records from this year. There are no records before this year."

Murong Zixi nodded slightly, as if she had expected it, and did not show too much surprise. She just said lightly: "Please trouble Master to calculate it."

Hearing this, the lawyer immediately walked forward, opened the box, took out the abacus, and began to calculate the accounts carefully.

At the same time, Jun Feimo whispered a few words in Tianyi's ear.

A look of helplessness flashed across Tianyi's face, but he quickly turned and left.

After a while, Tianyi returned to Shuntian Prefecture with several shopkeepers who were good at arithmetic.

He respectfully reported to Murong Zixi: "These are all shopkeepers who are good at math and can help Miss Murong work out the results faster." Tianyi said that he had to behave better in front of Miss Murong now, didn't he see that their master really cared about Miss Murong.

Murong Zixi nodded slightly to show her agreement, then turned to look at Jun Feimo, "Thank you, King of War."

Jun Feimo responded with a smile, "Xier, you don't have to be polite to me."

Murong Zixi turned her head away. This man was really... shameless.

With the participation of the shopkeepers, the speed of calculating accounts was indeed much faster.

An hour later, the account books of several shops were calculated, and the total profit was 15,200 taels of silver.

Murong Zixi didn't care about the accounts from previous years because she knew that those account books had been destroyed long ago, so she directly asked Murong Yunhai to write an IOU for fifteen thousand taels of silver and minus the change.

Murong Yunhai's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, but he still had to write the IOU as Murong Zixi requested.

Seeing this, Murong Zixi was not upset. She turned to Madam Li and said, "Open the shopkeepers of these shops, close all the shops, and go see if the former residents are willing to come back. If they are willing, invite them back. If they are not willing, invite someone else. Madam, you should personally check these people."

"I understand, this old servant."

Xiao Juan was beaten with twenty sticks and imprisoned for three months.

This farce came to an end.

After leaving Shuntian Prefecture, Murong Zixi walked forward slowly with graceful steps. Her figure was graceful, like a blooming flower, exuding charming charm.

At this moment, Jun Feimo's deep and magnetic voice sounded behind her: "Xi'er, I invite Xi'er to have lunch at Qianwei Tower."

Hearing this, Murong Zixi stopped, turned her head slightly, and her eyes fell on Jun Feimo. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her tone was a little cold: "King Zhan, I don't seem to be familiar with you." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but it revealed a sense of alienation.

Jun Feimo had a playful smile on his face, his eyes sparkling with light: "The first time is new, the second time is familiar." There was a hint of unruly and self-confidence in his words, as if everything was under his control.

However, Murong Zixi was dismissive of his confidence. She turned around and continued walking forward, completely ignoring Jun Feimo's invitation.

Seeing this, Jun Feimo moved quickly and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Murong Zixi, blocking her way.

His movements were light and swift, like a gust of wind.

Jun Feimo stared at Murong Zixi with his deep eyes, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Xi'er, why did you reject me from thousands of miles away? It's just a meal."

Hua Qianyi also stepped forward and tried to persuade her, "Yes, it's just a meal, Miss Murong. You should know that my senior brother has never been so attentive to a woman before." His face was filled with a warm smile and his eyes were full of laughter.

Murong Zixi looked at the two of them quietly, thinking to herself. She knew that Jun Feimo was of noble status, so it was not easy for her to refuse him again and again. But she didn't want to get too entangled with him.

Murong Zixi thought for a moment, nodded, and said to Hua Qianyi with a smile: "Okay, then I'll trouble King Zhan to pay for it this time."

After hearing this, Hua Qianyi muttered to himself, "Qianweilou is originally my senior brother's property, why should I spend so much money on it?"

Jun Feimo glared at Hua Qianyi fiercely. Hua Qianyi scratched his head in confusion and said innocently, "Brother, am I not helping you? Why are you still glaring at me? Good intentions are really not rewarded!"

Jun Feimo felt very uncomfortable because he felt that Hua Qianyi's smile when she looked at Murong Zixi was too dazzling.

Jun Feimo ignored Hua Qianyi and strode forward.

Afterwards, the group walked towards Qianweilou in a mighty procession.

After arriving at Qianweilou, they went straight to the private room on the second floor.

When Hua Qianyi was about to follow him into the room, Tianyi quickly closed the door.

Hua Qianyi's eyes widened and he angrily questioned Tianyi: "What's going on? I can't go in yet?"

Tianyi quickly apologized with a smile: "Young Master Hua, please don't be angry. You'd better not go in and disturb the master."

Hua Qianyi snorted coldly, turned away angrily, and walked towards the private room next to him.

Xiaolu, Xiaocui and Nanny Li, who were standing nearby, were all stunned when they saw this scene. They didn't know how to react for a moment.

Tianyi glanced at them and said in a calm and gentle tone: "You can also go to the private room next door and sit for a while!"

However, faced with Tianyi's proposal, the three of them shook their heads and said in unison that they would wait at the door and wait quietly for their eldest lady.

Seeing this, Tianyi didn't say anything more and just nodded.

Inside the private room, Murong Zixi was sitting at the table, holding Xiaobai in her arms leisurely. Her eyes were calm and composed, and she completely ignored the man who was looking at her.

Not long after, the waiter quickly brought Qianweilou's signature dishes and placed them one by one, then quietly left the room.

Jun Feimo elegantly picked up a piece of fish and gently placed it in Murong Zixi's bowl, saying softly, "Xi'er, try it. This braised fish from Qianweilou is very tender and delicious."

Murong Zixi gently put Xiaobai down from her arms and placed it on a chair beside her. Then she looked up at Jun Feimo and asked in a firm and serious tone, "King Zhan, what do you want to do?"

Seeing her alert face, Jun Feimo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his eyebrows, revealed a confident smile, and replied softly: "Isn't my feelings obvious enough? I have a deep admiration for Xier."

Murong Zixi's heart skipped a beat. If this guy knew what she did to him that night, would he still be happy with her? And with his identity, he was destined not to spend his whole life with a woman. She still said, "Ahem... that, War King, I am narrow-minded and hope that my future husband will only be myself, and you, the dignified War King, will only have more women in the future, so we are not suitable."
