After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 387 Manager Zhu

The Hu family has lived in Canxin City for so many years, yet they are so unfamiliar with the affairs of Wangliu.
Mo Jiuwei was secretly alarmed, and just as she was feeling disappointed, Ren Ruojiu spoke up again, "However, you can go to Zhanxintang and ask. Manager Zhu there is from Wangliu and seems to hold a fairly high position there."

“Zhanxintang?” Xueying spoke up at this moment. “Master, I went to that shop to inquire, but they didn’t have what we need.”

After visiting the black market, Mo Jiuwei instructed her maids to search for the remaining materials in various large shops throughout the city. Xueying had visited Zhanxintang.

Because the shop was quite grand and occupied a large area, and the customers inside looked like wealthy people, Xueying didn't see any poor, wandering cultivators, so she had a deep memory of it.

"Are you asking about Manager Zhu?" Ren Ruojiu asked.

Xueying shook her head. "No, I didn't see a manager at that time, only a waiter."

"That's it. The only way to get any information is to ask Manager Zhu himself. But... his reputation isn't very good; he's known for being greedy and lustful."

Ren Ruojiu's gaze swept across the faces of the seven maids, her eyes filled with worry.

The impact of a group of beauties appearing together is doubled. Mo Jiuwei's seven maids are all more beautiful than the last. Most importantly, they are not dull and timid wooden beauties, but lively, cheerful and always smiling. Who wouldn't like that?

No wonder her son couldn't help but go up and chat with them when he saw them. If her son was like that, what about Manager Zhu, who was already a womanizer?
"Here's what we'll do, Ruojiu. You take the servants from your household and accompany Miss Mo to Zhanxin Hall. Her maids can wait at home or outside the shop, but they shouldn't go in with her to avoid causing any trouble."

Hu Li'an had also thought of this, and immediately made the suggestion.

Ren Ruojiu nodded and looked at Mo Jiuwei, asking for her opinion.

“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you, Auntie. You can all ride in my beast-drawn carriage together.” Mo Jiuwei nodded in agreement. “Huang Ye, you wait for me at the Hu family’s house. I’ll be right back.”

The beast-drawn carriage couldn't hold that many people, and besides, there was no point in taking so many people with us.

Moreover, considering the safety of the maids, Mo Jiuwei didn't want them to catch the eye of Manager Zhu and cause trouble.

The maids were reluctant, but they had no choice but to agree.

They knew that all they could do were some mundane daily tasks, and they were all utterly useless when it came to protecting their master's safety.

If you insist on going, it might cause trouble for your master.

Mo Jiuwei and Ren Ruojiu boarded the beast-drawn carriage, along with four servants.

Hu Xiu also clamored to come along, and Mo Jiuwei, who was quite casual about such trivial matters, nodded in agreement.

As soon as Ren Ruojiu entered the carriage, she exclaimed in admiration, "It's truly a hidden gem! You can't tell from the outside how big it is inside. This is the first time I've ever seen a car like this. It's probably worth a fortune!"

So exquisite and comfortable, with no bumps at all, it's clear that both the beasts pulling the cart and the cart itself are top-notch.

Ren Ruojiu's professional habit almost kicked in; upon seeing such a valuable item, she subconsciously thought: "If this were put in my own auction house, how much would it fetch?"
"This was custom-made for me by my relatives and friends; they put some thought into it," Mo Jiuwei said with a smile.

I see. It seems that wanting to get more cars to auction off won't work.

Ren Ruojiu, understanding the implied meaning of the song, refrained from asking and naturally changed the subject. As Mo Jiuwei had anticipated, Ren Ruojiu inquired about her background.

"Don't blame your aunt for being nosy. If it's convenient for you to talk, then talk. If it's not convenient for you to talk, then just pretend I didn't ask." Ren Ruojiu patted her hand, her words sincere.

Mo Jiuwei didn't hide anything, "Auntie, have you ever heard of an abandoned baby in the Immortal Sect?"

"An abandoned baby?" Hu Xiu's eyes widened. "I've heard that it was thrown by the roadside last winter, and Elder Liu from the Xianlai Sect took pity on it and picked it up... Wait, is that you?"

Ren Ruojiu was so angry that she wanted to twist a piece of flesh off her son's leg!

She knew something was wrong the moment she heard her son speak. This silly son of hers really had no sense of propriety; how could he say such things?!

She quickly reached out and pinched him, hoping to shut her son up in time, but Hu Xiu was thick-skinned and seemed not to feel any pain. No matter how she pinched him, he didn't react at all!

This is terrible! Everything's been said, isn't this just stabbing Jiuwei in the heart?
"It's alright, it's nothing to be sad about. I'm very happy in the Immortal Sect, and my senior sisters treat me very well." Mo Jiuwei took in the two people's reactions, but just smiled and showed no embarrassment or sadness.

She didn't tell Hu Xiu her full name and background at first, because she didn't know if he was worth befriending.

I met Mr. and Mrs. Hu today. I felt that although they were shrewd as businessmen, they were also sincere to me and their nature was fine, which is why I was willing to reveal my identity.

After all, the Immortal Sect might still have opportunities to interact with the Hu family in the future, so it wouldn't make sense to keep it hidden any longer.

"You've really suffered. I don't know which parents are so heartless as to abandon their own child..." Ren Ruojiu's heart softened, and she reached out to touch Mo Jiuwei's head, looking at her with a mother's pity.

Hu Xiu was also furious, "That's right, it's too much! Mo Mei was only disabled at birth, it's not like she's incurable, how could they... oh dear!"

Ren Ruojiu gritted her teeth and pinched him again, and this time Hu Xiu felt the pain.

"Don't mind him. My son has never been good with words, and he's not very bright," Ren Ruojiu comforted Mo Jiuwei. "But how could the Immortal Sect let you know about this?"

As the Immortal Sect's reputation grew, many people heard about Mo Jiuwei.

For example, there is a beloved junior sister in the Xianlai Sect who was abandoned as a child due to her disability. She was later adopted and cured by the Xianlai Sect, and everyone in the sect loves her.

Ren Ruojiu couldn't understand why, if the Immortal Sect loved her so much, they should have kept the matter of the abandoned baby a secret from her. How could they let her know the truth at such a young age?
How painful it must be for such a young child to find out!

"Such a big thing, even you have heard about it, how could you hide it from me?" Mo Jiuwei said with a smile. "I don't care about these things. I only know that my senior sisters love me and protect me, and I am doing very well."

"Good child, you've gone through so much trouble..."

Ren Ruojiu's eyes reddened, and she almost shed tears.

No wonder.

No wonder this child is so precocious; it turns out it's related to his special experiences!
Her life story is so tragic; she has already experienced all kinds of suffering at just over one year old, which is too pitiful compared to other young children who are unaware of the world.
