Chapter 258 Do you want to take sides?
"you……!?"
When Zhang Tao heard Mu Qingqing's words, his face turned extremely ugly.
Because he didn't have Eunuch Zhang's warrant at all!
He came this time because Eunuch Zhang's second adopted son asked him to come.
And the purpose was not to take over the honeycomb charcoal directly as he said, but to assist Jiang Chen!
But Zhang Tao took a fancy to this honeycomb charcoal, so... he wanted to take it for himself.
But now...
"Mr. Zhang, please write a letter and tell Mr. Zhang the whole story."
"I guess, with Eunuch Zhang's cautious character, he won't be angry."
"Is it right?"
Mu Qingqing saw Zhang Tao's anxious look and smiled faintly.
"Okay! Just wait!"
Seeing that he couldn't do anything to Mu Qingqing, Zhang Tao gritted his teeth and left in anger.
After Zhang Tao left, Xue Wenyan looked at Mu Qingqing with some concern.
"Miss Mu, isn't this a good idea?"
"After all, Zhang Tao is the second young master's man, he..."
"Haha, Master Xue, you are afraid of offending the Second Young Master, but aren't you afraid of offending the other Young Masters?"
Mu Qingqing interrupted Xue Wenyan before he could finish speaking.
"this……?"
Xue Wenyan was shocked when he heard this!
He seemed to realize something, but it wasn't very clear.
"Miss Mu, what do you mean...?"
"Master Xue, if I remember correctly, Eunuch Zhang should have more than one adopted son, right?"
"If this honeycomb charcoal is so important and is only given to one adopted son, then...what will the other adopted sons think?"
"By then, will Lord Xue be able to bear it?" Mu Qingqing said lightly.
But when Xue Wenyan heard this, his heart was filled with turmoil!
Eunuch Zhang has twelve adopted sons, some of whom are talented in literature and martial arts, and some are well versed in business.
This second young master is just one of those who is proficient in the ways of business!
If Xue Wenyan gave this honeycomb charcoal to Zhang Tao today, wouldn't that be equivalent to taking the second place?
This is absolutely not okay!
……
"Miss Mu, what should we do now?" Xue Wenyan looked at Mu Qingqing expectantly.
If Jiang Chen saw Mu Qingqing treating Xue Wenyan like a dog, he would be extremely shocked!
After all, Jiang Chen has always felt that Xue Wenyan is difficult to deal with!
"Haha, it's very simple, Master Xue, you should write a letter to Eunuch Zhang immediately and explain the situation."
"And ask whether we should give the formula of honeycomb charcoal to Zhang Tao. If Eunuch Zhang agrees, then we can give it out. After all, it is Eunuch Zhang's order."
"I don't know, what do you think, Master Xue?"
Mu Qingqing smiled faintly.
"Okay, okay! I'll write a letter right away and give it to Eunuch Zhang!"
Xue Wenyan agreed without hesitation.
When Mu Qingqing saw Xue Wenyan like this, she didn't say anything else, but stood up and said goodbye.
Xue Wenyan accompanied Mu Qingqing to the door before leaving.
At this time, Xue Wenyan had temporarily suppressed his suspicion of Jiang Chen.
After all, with Mu Qingqing around, he might not be able to deal with Jiang Chen!
However, when Xue Wenyan wrote the letter to Eunuch Zhang, he had a trick up his sleeve.
He also wrote about Jiang Chen being taken away by the Black Armor Army to treat Marquis Jian'an.
Eunuch Zhang and Marquis Jian'an are not on good terms. If Eunuch Zhang knew about this, he might distance himself from Jiang Chen.
In this case, if his son Xue Bin was really killed by Jiang Chen, then he... would also have a chance to take revenge!
……
On the other hand, after Zhang Tao returned, he hurriedly wrote a letter to Eunuch Zhang’s second adopted son.
Now that things have turned out like this, it is no longer under his control!
He must get the support of the second young master!
Besides, the second young master loves beautiful women the most.
If the other party knew that there were beauties in this small place, then... maybe he would come here in person!
The more Zhang Tao thought about it, the more excited he became!
But he didn't know that his nightmare was about to begin...
After dealing with Zhang Tao, Mu Qingqing was relatively relaxed for the next few days.
She only needs to focus on the transaction with the Sun family.
As for other situations, we just have to wait for a reply from Eunuch Zhang.
However, based on Mu Qingqing's understanding of Eunuch Zhang, Eunuch Zhang would not give the honeycomb charcoal to a godson.
Eunuch Zhang is the one who understands the art of balance the best.
How could he break the balance among his adopted sons?
It is estimated that Eunuch Zhang will still give the honeycomb charcoal to Jiang Chen.
Eunuch Zhang will definitely test a talent like Jiang Chen!
And this is because Mu Qingqing didn’t know that Jiang Chen was also Eunuch Zhang’s adopted son, otherwise... Mu Qingqing might have felt more at ease.
But this silence lasted less than three days, and someone came to the door!
"Miss, someone delivered an invitation outside the door!"
The old gatekeeper respectfully handed an invitation to Mu Qingqing.
But after Mu Qingqing opened the invitation and took a look at it, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, Xia Ningxiang, I never thought that we would meet again!"
Mu Qingqing looked at the signature on the invitation and laughed coldly.
This Xia Ningxiang is Cai Jing’s sixth wife.
When Mu Qingqing was in the capital, she met Xia Ningxiang once.
At that time, Xia Ningxiang had just married Cai Jing and had not yet taken charge of all of Cai Jing's industries.
However, that side also left a deep impression on Mu Qingqing.
This Xia Ningxiang is not easy to deal with!
……
"Miss, this Xia Ningxiang may have seen you before. What if... she recognizes your voice or recognizes you..." Xu Meng looked at Mu Qingqing worriedly.
That Cai Jing is not a good guy!
If Cai Jing knew Mu Qingqing's whereabouts, the consequences... I'm afraid they wouldn't be very good!
"Haha, don't be afraid. I won't go to see Xia Ningxiang tonight."
"You can go with Yuanyuan when the time comes. Remember...you must protect Yuanyuan and nothing can happen to her!" Mu Qingqing said calmly.
"Yes! I obey your command!" Xu Meng was relieved when he heard Mu Qingqing's words.
If Mu Qingqing doesn't go, there will be no risk of being exposed.
This Xia Ningxiang probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.
At this moment, Mu Qingqing's eyes were full of coldness.
Over the years, she has been thinking about who was responsible for the attack on her when she got married.
After thinking about it, she felt that this matter was closely related to Cai Jing!
Because among Dajing, the one who least wanted to see Dajing and the grassland unite was Cai Jing!
After all, if Caoyuan and Dajing coexist peacefully, Cai Jing will no longer be able to reap the benefits!
What's more, Cai Jing also has an unclear relationship with another country on this continent!
In the evening, Chen Yuanyuan took Xu Meng away from the house.
Before leaving, Mu Qingqing had already told Chen Yuanyuan some things.
With Chen Yuanyuan's intelligence, dealing with Xia Ningxiang is definitely not a problem!
After Chen Yuanyuan arrived at Zuixianlou, the servant respectfully took Chen Yuanyuan to the private room booked by Xia Ningxiang.
However, when Xia Ningxiang saw Chen Yuanyuan, her eyes suddenly froze!
