My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Li Lian left without hesitation, while Mu Zheng stood up and walked around the kitchen, mainly to observe the layout and terrain around the kitchen.

At this moment, a maid came in: "Hey, you, come with me to Miss Xiu Dai's place."

Mu Zheng looked around, "Me?"

The maid frowned, "Why waste words? It's you."

Uh.

Mu Zheng hurried forward, but the maid looked at him as if she was looking at something: "Where are your things?"

what?

Mu Zheng was stunned.

"Rag!" The maid was speechless. "Which group is this from? Why did you send such an idiot?"

Mu Zheng was followed by the maid's nagging all the way to Miss Xiu Dai's room.

When he saw the woman in front of him, Mu Zheng's expression brightened slightly.

very beautiful.

Maybe because of her work, she was dressed very coolly.

And next to him sat a man with a pig-like face, who was teasing Xiu Dai without any mercy.

Seeing Mu Zheng come in, the man tapped the floor with his toes. Mu Zheng looked and saw that a plate of pastries had fallen to the ground.

Mu Zheng packed up quickly.

Unexpectedly, the man just said "hmm"?

It seems to be doubt, but also dissatisfaction.

When Mu Zheng was trying to guess what the other party meant, the girl Xiu Dai chuckled and said, "Sir, your shoes are only stained with a little cake. It's not a big deal."

When Mu Zheng heard this, he immediately understood that this guy had tapped the ground with his feet just now because he wanted him to clean his shoes.

This damn pretentious feeling.

Mu Zheng cursed in his heart. He had never cleaned shoes for anyone in his life. This guy was lucky.

Mu Zheng squatted in front of the man. In fact, the man's shoes were not dirty. There seemed to be some pastry crumbs on them, which disappeared with a gentle blow.

"Well done!" The man seemed very satisfied with Mu Zheng's service and pointed at the cakes he had just packed up: "That thing is your reward."

Nima!

If conditions allowed, Mu Zheng really wanted to stuff every hole of this man with pastries.

However, not at this time.

Because in the eyes of normal people, being rewarded with a plate of pastries is like winning the first prize.

Mu Zheng expressed his thanks cheerfully and left the room.

Standing at the door, Mu Zheng did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he quickly looked around and imprinted the layout and design of the entire Manhua Garden in his mind.

Just then, Gerry came up. "Come with me."

Mu Zheng didn't understand what was going on, so he quickly followed. They came to a corner downstairs, and Mu Zheng asked, "Brother Turtle...what's wrong?"

Gary squinted his eyes and looked at Mu Zheng and asked, "Are these cakes all gifts from customers?"

Mu Zheng suddenly realized, "Yes, that guest is quite generous."

Mu Zheng handed the cake to Gary and said, "This is for you."

It wasn't that Mu Zheng was being servile on purpose; he simply didn't want to eat the food the customer had spilled. However, if he didn't eat it, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. After all, in this day and age, no one would let go of anything edible.

"Well! I'm lucky. It's not easy for us eunuchs to get a reward once or twice." Nagri looked at the cakes on the plate. There were four bean cakes, intact. He grabbed two and stuffed them into his mouth. "I'll give you the rest, so you don't think I'm being unkind."

Mu Zheng's mouth twitched. If you want to eat, just finish it?

I wouldn't say you're dishonest.

Seeing Mu Zheng's expression, Nager thought he was very excited and said, "100 coins for you."

what?

What do you mean?

"You work for me, so it's only fair that I give you half of the reward you get. This plate of cakes is worth at least 3000 coins, and now you can have two, and I'm only charging you 100 coins. Isn't that fair of you?"

Mu Zheng narrowed his eyes, thinking that this man was not only going to deduct his wages, but also eat his reward money. Of course, he wanted to eat the reward money, and Mu Zheng was very happy about it, but Ge Li was too much to exchange the reward cakes for Buquan.

"Why?" Mu Zheng stared at Gary and spoke in an aggressive tone.

"What's with that?" Gary frowned, his eyes etched with impatience. "Can you buy these two cakes with your one-night wages? I'm selling them to you for 100 coins, and you're asking me why? Just because I'm your glans."

Mu Zheng almost choked on his saliva.

Nima.

He never wanted to hear this person say these two words again.

"No! Just now Ge Bi asked us to follow him. He is not as cruel as you." Mu Zheng can lower his posture in order to complete the task, but it does not mean that he is willing to be slaughtered.

Gary licked his lips, seeming a little impatient. "That damn bastard, I'll kill him sooner or later. Do you want the money?"

Mu Zheng sniffed, made a deliberate click of the tongue, and replied with a grin, "Of course I don't admit it. I'm not stupid. These pastries are indeed expensive outside, but in Manhuayuan, although we don't eat them every day, we can still fill our stomachs by just picking at the leftovers from the customers' plates. Since I have enough to eat, why should I give you money?"

Seeing Mu Zheng's attitude, Nagbi also got angry. "Boy, if Boss Ji hadn't introduced you, I wouldn't want to hire you. You have to accept this money today, whether you want to or not. Otherwise, you don't have to come tomorrow."

Mu Zheng shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to bother with the jerk, and went straight back to the kitchen. Seeing Gary coming in, Mu Zheng deliberately walked over to Gary to chat with him.

He is sending a signal that I still have Group B to choose from.

Seeing Mu Zheng flirting with Ge Bi so brazenly, Gary's face suddenly became gloomy. He stared at the smiling face, and the corners of his mouth gradually became ferocious.

"Brother Mu!" Li Lian came over, and the two of them exchanged glances. Mu Zheng casually responded with a few words and followed Li Lian away.

"I've asked around, and there's a new girl named Xiu Dai who recently opened a shop in the building."

Sleeve black?

Mu Zheng frowned: "Is there no one else?"

"No!" Li Lian shook his head.

Mu Zheng sighed, "Then there's no need to check. I've seen this Xiu Dai before, and she's not Shu Er."

No?

Li Lian was stunned. If Xiu Dai was not Shu'er, then the possibility of Shu'er still being alive was very small.

“Nothing is absolute!”

Mu Zheng didn't think so. They had just met Xie Junfei, and according to him, they had gone to rescue Shu'er that night, but were ultimately outnumbered and captured by the soldiers. However, before she was captured, he had personally witnessed Shu'er break free from her bonds and flee the scene. He just didn't know if she was eventually caught by the soldiers.

Ten days had passed since the uprising in Ju County. If Shu'er had managed to escape that day, she would have returned to the rebel base camp. But she didn't return. There were only two possibilities: one was that she was trapped in the inner city, and the other was that she was captured.

But in this situation, with famine and rebellion, no one dares to take in a strange girl, so the possibility of Shu'er being caught increases by another 50%.

"I have to go see Xiu Dai again." Mu Zheng said.

"Ah? Didn't you say she wasn't Shu'er?" Li Lian was puzzled.

"But maybe she knows where Shu'er is." Mu Zheng replied.
