Chapter 172 The Truth
When Jiang Jin thought of this, his heart softened. How could his wife be so good?
In the end, Liu Qian gave Mu Jiaojiao 50% of the profits. In fact, this was also a gamble for Liu Qian. Suddenly, he became a little bit like the fearless man he was in his youth.
Seeing that the negotiations were almost over, Mu Jiaojiao told Liu Qian about her idea of opening a restaurant on Jinxiu Street.
Liu Qian thought about it and realized that Jinxiu Street was basically composed of clothing and jewelry stores, and indeed lacked restaurants. He couldn't help but admire Mu Jiaojiao even more. It seemed that she must have a thorough understanding of Maple Leaf City before sending him a visiting card.
In fact, everything has already been planned out. Even if he doesn't come, Miss Mu will probably find a way to open this tea shop.
Liu Qian naturally agreed to this obvious benefit, and he could also do Mu Jiaojiao a favor.
Finally, the matter was settled. Liu Qian said that he would go back and draft a charter, and then hurriedly said goodbye.
When Liu Qian was about to leave the private room, Mu Jiaojiao behind him said something lazily and casually.
"Uncle Liu, have you ever heard the saying, 'A thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole?'"
The two of them had a good chat, and because of Liu Nian's relationship, Mu Jiaojiao naturally called Liu Qian uncle.
"This... Why does Madam Mu say that?"
Liu Qian turned around and looked at Mu Jiaojiao. His heart actually skipped a beat as he thought of Liu Qing.
"Uncle Liu, you should get to know your subordinates more carefully!"
Jiang Jin, who hadn't said a word the entire time, spoke up when Liu Qian asked.
Jiang Jin can't stand these men who have no skills but like to beat women. They are just bullies at home and are a disgrace to the men of Dayu.
"Master Jin is right. I will take my leave now!"
After hearing this, Liu Qian had nothing to understand. These two people knew everything that happened in his house!
He bowed to Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin, turned around and said goodbye. When he stepped out of the private room, he felt a slight chill on his back.
He now basically had a guess that Liu Qing had done something to provoke the couple, and perhaps what was happening to Liu Qing now was caused by the couple.
Then Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin can't just be businessmen. No matter how you look at it, their methods seem to have a bit of a gangster vibe.
However, even their own family knew everything, and the mere fact that they were chivalrous knights in the martial arts world remained to be investigated. However, it cannot be ruled out that the couple would help others when they saw injustice.
So what on earth did Liu Qing do to deserve such revenge from these two?
Thinking of this, Liu Qian hurriedly got on the carriage and told the driver to return home quickly.
Then he ordered his personal servant to carefully investigate what Liu Qing had done over the years.
Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin, who were in the private room, left Jin Yu Man Tang about a cup of tea after Liu Qian left.
It was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sky, burning half of the sky red.
In the carriage, Jiang Jin leaned on Mu Jiaojiao's shoulder like a boneless person, playing with Mu Jiaojiao's slender white jade fingers from time to time.
"My dear, sometimes I wonder if the reason Zhao'er and I went through this hardship was just to meet you."
"Ajin, I've never asked before, why would you end up in Hexi Town with your status and strength?"
When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, she did not answer the man's question, but asked for the first time why Jiang Jin had no one around him and ended up in Hexi Town.
Jiang Jin was silent for a long time after listening to this. He rested his head on Mu Jiaojiao's shoulder and rested it on her legs. He closed his eyes and then slowly said:
"My lady, have you ever heard that I was poisoned during the battle at Tianmen Pass and my legs were crippled?"
"Yes, I heard about it! It is said that Prince Jin defeated the enemy with a small force, but the victory was tragic and his legs were crippled."
Mu Jiaojiao nodded. This matter would probably be brought up in any teahouse in Dayu where there were storytellers. She believed that few people did not know about it.
But since Jiang Jin brought up something that everyone knows, there must be something else behind it.
"I wasn't actually poisoned during the battle. It was after the great victory at Tianmen Pass that I received an imperial decree from the court ordering me to rush back to Yudu as fast as I could.
I know this matter is unusual, but the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, even though the current emperor is my father. I have made many countermeasures and asked people to bring people back to Yudu from three routes. I chose one of them and traveled day and night with my confidants.
However, there were constant ambushes along the way, and when we left Chizhou and entered Yanzhou, we were ambushed at the strategically located Feixia Peak."
Jiang Jin paused here and clenched his hands unconsciously.
Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao touched his hand, pried open his clenched hand, and interlocked her small hand with Jiang Jin's big hand.
Although she didn't say a word, the meaning was self-evident: she was there and she would always be with him.
"This ambush seemed to have been anticipated. There were so many people, and all of them were experts. My men fought desperately to break through, and I was able to break through with my bodyguards, my brother Cheng Yu, who grew up with me and fought with me on the battlefield.
We rode together and ran for nearly a few hundred meters, leaving the pursuers far behind. My subordinates died and I was very sad, but at least I escaped. I will treat their families well and avenge them to the best of my ability.
Just when I thought we could both fight our way out, an arrow came flying through the air, and we were both wounded. There was no way to avoid it, and I was hit in the back of the shoulder."
When Jiang Jin said this, he felt Mu Jiaojiao touching the scar on his back and shoulder, and he recovered a lot from his previous cold mood.
"So, this arrow is poisonous, right? It's the Seventh Reincarnation."
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the person on her legs, touched his wound and scar lovingly, and asked. Although it was just a question, her tone was firm.
"Well, after I was poisoned, Cheng Yu took me back to Yudu after many twists and turns. I was in a coma at the time and I don't know how I escaped the pursuers. Anyway, when I woke up, I was lying in Prince Jin's Mansion in Yudu.
At that time, the imperial doctors in the palace all declared that I would not survive. It was the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, my current father-in-law, who saved my life with medicine, but he was unable to remove the toxin.
I woke up not long after and asked my father-in-law to tell everyone that I had been poisoned and that the toxin had been trapped in my legs, making it difficult for me to walk. From then on, the rumor spread that I was disabled.
After hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao finally understood the whole story of how he was poisoned and his legs became disabled.
As she listened to Jiang Jin's calm narration, waves of pity welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but hold Jiang Jin's hand tighter. All these reflected her uneasiness.
