Xiao family.

Front yard main hall.

"That's right, the murderer was the former boss of Ye Yu Palace, Tu Jiu."

"But he should be no longer alive now. I'm deeply sorry that I didn't let the Xiao Mansion personally kill Mr. Xiao's murderer."

Li Wuji nodded and spoke slowly, with a hint of apology on his face.

"The Marquis is serious. If it weren't for the young master, I'm afraid we would have fallen into the murderer's plan to sow discord. My daughter is concerned about the death of her own brother, so she was too reckless. I hope the Marquis will forgive me."

Yun Baining shook his head, looked at Li Wuji with a grateful expression and said.

"Mrs. Yun has a broad mind, which I admire."

"I just said that I owe the Xiao family a favor for this matter. If you need help in the future, just ask."

Li Wuji hugged his fists towards Yun Baining and said seriously.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"By the way, the Marquis just said that Tu Jiu was the former boss of Yeyu Palace? The implication is..."

Yun Baining looked at Li Wuji and stopped mid-sentence.

"That's right, all of Tu Jiu's territory was given to me last night."

"The current boss of Yeyu Palace is me."

"If anyone in the Xiao family wants to go there in the future, we are always waiting."

Li Wuji nodded and said with a smile.

"As expected of the Marquis, he is really resolute and resolute."

Yun Baining looked at Li Wuji meaningfully and said with appreciation, the strange look in his eyes became more obvious.

"Thank you, ma'am. Now that we've said it, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Let's talk about it another day."

Li Wuji smiled, stood up, and was ready to leave.

"Master Hou, walk slowly."

"In the future, the door of the Xiao family will always be open to Mr. Hou. I hope we can become friends."

Yun Baining stood up slowly and said with a smile.

Li Wuji smiled, said nothing, and walked straight out.

"Mom, just let him go like this?! Who knows whether what he just said is true or not?!"

Xiao Muqiu glared at Li Wuji's leaving figure, walked quickly to Yun Baining's side, and asked with a frown on his face, a look of reluctance on his face.

Li Wuji in the gambling house made it impossible for her to get off the stage, and she had already held a grudge in her heart.

"I have received the news a long time ago that all Tu Jiu's properties were seized by others last night. I didn't expect that they would be in his hands."

"In this case, what he said should be true. This person is not simple. If you can become a friend with him, it is best not to become an enemy."

Yun Baining looked at Wuji's back getting further and further away and said meaningfully.

After Xiao Muqiu heard this, he clenched his fists and said nothing more.

In the courtyard, Li Wuji walked out with a faint smile.

"Sir, it seems that Xiao Muqiu is still hostile to you. I'm afraid the Xiao family will not form an alliance with us so easily."

Cao Zian took two steps forward and lowered his voice.

"unimportant."

"The person I want to form an alliance with is the Xiao family, not Xiao Muqiu, or Yun Baining. It depends on whether they understand the current affairs."

Li Wuji smiled and said nonchalantly.

"My subordinate understands."

"Seeing Xiao Wenqi's appearance just now really made my subordinates feel a little emotional. I thought back then, he was a powerful figure, but I didn't expect that now he lives like a servant beside Yun Baining."

Cao Zian nodded and said helplessly.

"The way the world is, not everyone has the ability to change their destiny."

"Maybe he is lucky to be alive."

Li Wuji said slowly.

"Young master, what you mean is that Yun Bai Ning might kill him?"

Cao Zian asked in surprise.

"That woman is not simple!"

"Didn't you realize that a young master died in the house, but no one in the Xiao family was sad?"

Li Wuji narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

After listening to Li Wuji's words, Cao Zian thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but frown and feel a chill down his back.

"What do you do for food?! Why can't you do this?"

"If Madam takes the blame, can you bear it?!"

At this moment, a burst of scolding and yelling suddenly came from not far away.

Li Wuji looked around and found a young man dressed as a scholar being pointed at and scolded by an old man dressed as a servant.

Facing the old man's reproach, the young man actually remained silent and lowered his head deeply, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be punished.

Seeing this scene, Li Wuji couldn't help but paused and frowned slightly.

This is the only time in my life when a servant speaks harshly to his master!

"Sir, that is the steward of the Xiao Mansion. As for that young man, he should be the son of the second wife, Xiao Hongxing."

Cao Zian noticed Li Wuji's expression, turned his head, glanced at it, and whispered.

"Is the second bedroom's status in the Xiao family so low?"

Li Wuji couldn't help but ask.

"The eldest brother is in power, and the second brother is under pressure. This has been the case since ancient times. However, since Yun Baining became the head of the Xiao family, I heard that the status of the second brother of the Xiao family has been even lower. Now it seems that it is even lower than imagined.

status."

Cao Zian replied slowly.

"Help me check this Xiao Hongxing and see what kind of person he is."

"Also, check the relationship between Xiao Hongyi and the Xiao family. I suspect that he is not from the Xiao family."

A smile flashed across Li Wuji's lips, he withdrew his gaze, and continued to walk out while speaking lightly.

"yes."

Cao Zian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Li Wuji meant, but he still respectfully agreed.

Sometimes, the enemy of your enemy is more likely to become a friend.

...

Prince Lin's Mansion.

backyard.

Bliss Pavilion.

Lin Wang Liyuan was lying on the couch, surrounded by more than a dozen charming women, serving him in sweet and sweet voices, all of them blushing.

Li Yuan hugged him left and right, with a look of enjoyment on his face, and let out wild laughter from time to time.

The housekeeper Pang Mo stood aside respectfully, looking at the erotic scene in front of him, his eyes full of envy. Although he was over fifty, he still couldn't help but feel a little hot.

"I heard that Yeyu Palace has changed its owner?"

Li Yuan drank the wine that a woman put to his mouth and asked curiously.

"Reporting to the prince, it is indeed true. All of Tu Jiu's properties and businesses were monopolized by Mr. Wuji last night."

"But at this time, Yeyu Palace is no longer called Yeyu Palace, but has been changed to the No. 1 Building in the World."

"This Mr. Wuji is indeed not simple, he moves very fast."

Li Yuan's words interrupted the picture in Pang Mo's mind, he hurriedly raised his hands and said seriously.

"The best building in the world?"

"What a loud tone, but I have an appetite for this king!"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, nodded appreciatively, and then laughed unbridled.

"From intimidating the envoys, becoming famous in one battle, to unifying the underground world of the capital, this person is indeed not an ordinary person. Moreover, first the Taiqing rewarded him with the Purple Dragon Order, and then the empress granted him the title of Marquis of Li'an."
