Princess Yu returned home angrily and happened to meet her son Wenxuan who was about to go out. She stopped in her tracks and asked, "Wenxuan, what are you doing?"
"The eldest son of the Prime Minister invited me to come over." Mu Wenxuan is tall and fat. He looks stronger than the average man, but his face has a bluish-white color that is characteristic of long-term indulgence. "Why are you so fast, mother?"
Just come back?"
When Princess Yu heard this, her face turned green: "That little bitch Yan Li actually found Mu Cang as a backer!"
Mu Wenxuan frowned: "What does mother mean, is the Ninth Prince protecting Yan Li?"
"That's right." Princess Yu's tone was cold, "I, Princess Xian, and Mrs. Song couldn't please each other."
"I didn't expect the Ninth Prince to be so indifferent to right from wrong." Anger appeared on Mu Wenxuan's face, "Mother, let's calm down and go back to rest. After I go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, we will see what the eldest son wants me to do. Later we will
Let’s find another way to seek justice.”
Princess Yu nodded solemnly and walked to the inner courtyard with her maid.
Mu Wenxuan arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion in a carriage, handed over the post, and was guided by a servant through the central hall and directly to the backyard garden.
"What are you doing?" Mu Wenxuan felt something was wrong the further he walked, "Your young master invited me to enjoy the flowers?"
The boy lowered his head and said, "Young master, you'll know just when you walk along the corridor to the end."
Mu Wenxuan looked at him strangely: "What kind of mystery is he making?"
The boy bowed and turned to leave.
Mu Wenxuan frowned and stared at him for a moment, then walked up the verandah.
Walking along the winding corridor, when you reached the end corner, you looked up and saw a woman standing in the garden painting. Mu Wenxuan paused and looked intently.
The woman wore a flowing aqua blue dress with a layer of gauze covering her face, making her look quite ethereal.
Mu Wenxuan's heart was about to move, and he walked over: "Girl."
The woman concentrated on painting, her voice gentle and calm: "I am Gu Anxian."
Mu Wenxuan's footsteps paused again. Who else could appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time besides the direct daughter of the Gu family?
He asked in confusion: "The person who invited me in the next post is Miss Gu?"
"yes."
"Men and women are not allowed to be intimate." Mu Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and stared at Gu Anxian's slender figure, with a very familiar look of covetousness in his eyes, "Why did Miss Gu invite me here?"
"Prince Xuan, you might as well come over and take a look at my paintings." Gu Anxian said in a calm voice, "How do you like my painting skills?"
"Who in the imperial city doesn't know that Miss Gu is a talented girl in the capital? I don't dare to judge the girl." Even so, Mu Wenxuan still walked closer, his eyes moved from Gu Anxian to the painting in front of her,
After seeing this, he couldn't move his eyes away anymore, "This...whose girl is this?"
A young girl of thirteen or fourteen years old suddenly appeared on the drawing board. Her eyebrows were as dark as distant daisies, her eyes were like autumn water, and her pair of apricot eyes were clean and cold. Her little face, which was still a bit immature, already had the look of a country.
Mu Wenxuan was stunned for a moment.
"Prince Xuan wants to know who she is?"
Mu Wenxuan came back to his senses and nodded eagerly: "I really want to know."
Gu Anxian put down her paintbrush, a cold look flashed across her eyes, but her voice was still soft: "She is the cousin Yan Li who has been fostered by Taifu Jiang's family for more than ten years. Today she slapped your sister, and also brought Princess Mu Yun to the throne.
The girl who was kicked into the lake."
Mu Wenxuan was stunned subconsciously, staring at the girl in the painting with subtle eyes: "Is she Yan Li?"
"yes."
Mu Wenxuan was silent for a moment, vaguely understanding Gu Anxian's purpose of inviting him over: "Miss Gu wants me to deal with her?"
Gu Anxian smiled: "Prince Xuan is smart."
Mu Wenxuan took a step back: "This probably won't work."
"Why?"
"Although she is a cousin of the Jiang family, the emperor has made her a princess. Even if I ask for courage, I would not dare to offend her at this time."
He was not afraid of offending Yan Li, but he did not dare to despise the imperial power.
Yan Li's incident has been such a big deal in the past two days. Who among the dignitaries and dignitaries in the dynasty has not heard a few rubbish words about it?
Is he tired of living and dares to seek death?
"So Mu Ya was beaten in vain?"
Mu Wenxuan frowned, "Mu Ya was slapped, so this matter will naturally not end, but now Yan Li is the most favored in front of the emperor, I can wait for a while..."
Gu Anxian interrupted him: "After a while, she will become the mistress of the Ninth Prince's Palace. Do you still dare to take action?"
Mu Wenxuan's expression changed slightly: "Will Uncle Nine Emperors marry her?"
"should be."
"Then I can't offend her even more. Miss Gu should know how terrifying Uncle Nine Emperors is -"
"Fifty thousand taels of silver."
Mu Wenxuan was stunned: "What?"
"Prince Xuan is very short of money right now, right?" Gu Anxian raised her lips slightly, with a calculating light in her eyes, "I heard that you owe nearly 20,000 taels of silver to the gambling house and have not paid it back, and Xing'er Tower also gave you 8,000 taels on credit."
Mu Wenxuan blushed: "Are you investigating me?"
Gu Anxian did not answer the question, but calmly offered benefits: "If you want to seek justice for your sister, you can only do it before she gets married. As long as Yan Li's reputation is ruined, it will be impossible for the Ninth Prince to marry her, and Prince Xuan can still marry her."
A beautiful concubine, why not?"
Mu Wenxuan was suddenly in a dilemma.
Thinking of Mu Cang's ruthless Nine Emperors Uncle, his reason told him not to do anything that would make him angry, but Mu Ya was indeed beaten by Yan Li, and he should seek justice for his sister.
Besides...
Mu Wenxuan's eyes fell on the painting. The girl's appearance was so beautiful that it made his heart itch. Moreover, he could get fifty thousand taels of silver, which could solve his urgent need.
"Prince Xuan, think about it carefully."
"If I anger Uncle Nine Emperors..." Mu Wenxuan was still a little apprehensive, but his heart was obviously moved.
Gu Anxian said calmly: "How long have the Ninth Prince known her? Not to the point where he would not marry her unless she was the one."
Mu Wenxuan thought about it. Uncle Nine Emperors only cared about military strategy and family and country. How could he have cared about women in all these years?
If he wants to marry and take concubines, there are many noble ladies from aristocratic families in the imperial city for him to choose from.
Thinking of this, Mu Wenxuan suddenly felt a little relieved: "I want one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Gu Anxian's expression changed slightly, and she secretly thought that she was really a greedy person.
"Sixty thousand." She said firmly, "If you don't want to, forget it."
"Deal." Mu Wenxuan couldn't help but glance at the girl in the painting again, "When will we do it?"
"You can make up your own mind, as long as you take action before the Ninth Prince and her wedding date."
Mu Wenxuan nodded and quickly left.
Gu Anxian walked to the side and sat down at the stone table. The maid served tea. A man walked out from under the big tree not far away. It was the eighth princess Mu Yunzhu: "Is he okay?"
"It should be no problem." Gu Anxian took a sip of tea, "The prince of Prince Yu's Mansion is a womanizer. He hangs around the place with fireworks all year round and likes to gamble with others. Over the years, Prince Yu's Mansion seems to be prosperous on the surface, but it has already been in deficit on the inside. It is the lack of
When it comes to money.”
Money can make the world go round.
