Chapter 771 - 772: The Matchmaker Comes to the Door (1)_1
Huo Yuan was released, and to demonstrate his sincerity, Zhao Fuyin even freed up a horse carriage, letting his coachman take Huo Yuan home.
However, Huo Yuan did not return to the Huo Mansion, he went directly back to Bishui Villa.
The day before yesterday, due to being summoned by Ying Tianfu, he had not had the chance to hand over the ceremonial responsibilities to his younger sister, Cai Wei. He had felt uneasy these two days. Therefore, after his release today, he decided to go home first to take a bath, change into clean clothes, and then go to find Cai Wei to discuss the handover of ceremonial responsibilities.
When he returned to Bishui Villa, the housekeeper welcomed him. Seeing Huo Yuan, it was natural to express solicitous concerns.
Always congenial, Huo Yuan exchanged a few words with the housekeeper, then asked casually about how the Mu family had been faring over the past two days.
Upon seeing Huo Yuan mentioning the Mu family, the Housekeeper told him all about the Second Old Master’s arrival to evict people and the Mu family’s subsequent early departure the next day. After hearing this, Huo Yuan’s typically mild and elegant face darkened unrecognizably.
He entered his own regular courtyard with a frown, took a bath, changed his clothes, ordered the carriage, and went straight to Mu Zhongqing’s Bafu Restaurant.
At present, the Bafu Restaurant had just opened its doors, with only two shopkeepers cleaning up, with the rest staying in the kitchen either packing ground dumplings, Hu Dun, cutting meat or skewering meat. Mu Zhongqing and Zhao Yun sold dim sum at the counter. Even though they already ran a Bafu Dim Sum Shop at home, some local residents still had the habit of buying dim sum here, so the Bafu Restaurant continued to sell dim sum. However, with the Bafu Dim Sum Shop now, the dim sum here was no longer as hot a sell as before.
