Chapter 35 The Prince's Grandfather

Princess Yu returned home angrily and happened to meet her son Wenxuan who was about to go out. She paused: "Wenxuan, what are you doing?"

"The eldest son of the Xiangfu invited me to come over." Mu Wenxuan was tall and fat, looking stronger than the average man, but his face was pale and blue, which was unique to long-term indulgence. "Why did mother come back so soon?"

Hearing this, Princess Yu's face turned green: "Yan Li, that little bitch, actually found Mu Cang as a backer!"

Mu Wenxuan frowned: "Mother, what do you mean, the Ninth Prince protected Yan Li?"

"That's right." Princess Yu said coldly, "Princess Xian, Madam Song and I all got nothing good."

"I didn't expect the Ninth Prince to be so confused about right and wrong." Mu Wenxuan's face was full of anger, "Mother, calm down first, go back and rest, I will go to the Xiangfu to see what the eldest son wants me to do, and then we will find a way to get justice later."

Princess Yu nodded with a gloomy face and walked towards the inner courtyard with the maid.

Mu Wenxuan arrived at the Xiangfu in a carriage, handed over the invitation, and led by a servant, walked through the central hall and went directly to the backyard garden.

"What is this for?" Mu Wenxuan felt more and more that something was wrong as he walked. "Your master invited me to appreciate the flowers?"

The servant lowered his head, "You will know if you walk to the end of the corridor."

Mu Wenxuan looked at him strangely: "What is he doing?"

The servant bowed and turned away.

Mu Wenxuan frowned and stared at him for a moment, but still walked onto the corridor.

Walking along the winding corridor, he walked to the end and corner, and saw a woman standing in the garden painting. Mu Wenxuan paused and looked at her intently.

The woman was wearing a flowing aqua blue dress with a layer of gauze on her face, which made her look quite ethereal.

Mu Wenxuan was eager to move, so he walked over and said, "Miss."

The woman was concentrating on painting, and her voice was gentle and calm, "I am Gu Anxian."

Mu Wenxuan paused again. Who else could appear in the prime minister's residence at this time except the daughter of the Gu family?

He asked in confusion: "The one who sent me the invitation was Miss Gu?"

"Yes."

"Men and women should not touch each other." Mu Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and stared at Gu Anxian's slender and graceful figure, with a very familiar greedy look in his eyes, "Why did Miss Gu invite me here?"

"Xuan Prince, why don't you come and take a look at my paintings." Gu Anxian said lightly, "See how my painting skills are?"

"Who in the imperial city doesn't know that Miss Gu is a talented woman in Beijing? I dare not comment on the girl." Although he said so, Mu Wenxuan still walked closer, his eyes moved from Gu Anxian to the painting in front of her, and after taking a look, he couldn't take his eyes away, "This... Whose girl is this?"

The painting board showed a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young girl, with eyebrows like distant black, eyes like autumn water, a pair of clean and cold almond eyes, and a little childish face, but already had a stunning beauty.

Mu Wenxuan was stunned for a moment.

"Xuan Shizi wants to know who she is?"

Mu Wenxuan came back to his senses and nodded impatiently: "I do want to know."

Gu Anxian put down the brush, a hint of coldness passed through her eyes, but her voice was still soft: "She is the cousin Yan Li who has been fostered by Master Jiang for more than ten years. Today, she slapped your sister and kicked Princess Mu Yun into the lake."

Mu Wenxuan was subconsciously stunned, staring at the girl in the painting with a narrow gaze: "Is she Yan Li?"

"Yes."

Mu Wenxuan was silent for a moment, and vaguely understood the purpose of Gu Anxian's invitation to him: "Miss Gu wants me to deal with her?"

Gu Anxian smiled: "Xuan Shizi is smart."

Mu Wenxuan took a step back: "This probably won't work."

"Why?"

"Although she is the cousin of the Jiang family, the emperor has already made her a princess. Even if I borrow the courage from heaven, I dare not offend her at this time."

He was not afraid of offending Yan Li, but he did not dare to despise the imperial power.

The incident of Yan Li has caused such a big stir these two days. Who among the dignitaries in the court hasn't heard a few gossips?

Is he tired of living and dares to seek death?

"So Mu Ya was beaten in vain?"

Mu Wenxuan frowned, "Mu Ya was slapped, this matter is naturally not over, but Yan Li is now in the most favored time 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 Mansion, do you still dare to do it?"

Mu Wenxuan's expression changed slightly: "Will the Ninth Prince marry her?"

"Should."

"Then I can't offend her even more. Miss Gu should know how terrible the Ninth Prince is-"

"Fifty thousand taels of silver."

Mu Wenxuan was stunned: "What?"

"Prince Xuan is in great need of money right now, right?" Gu Anxian's lips curled up slightly, with a calculating light in her eyes, "I heard that you owed the gambling house nearly 20,000 taels of silver, and Xing'erlou owed 8,000 taels on credit."

Mu Wenxuan blushed: "You investigated me?"

Gu Anxian did not answer this question, but calmly gave a benefit: "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, the Ninth Prince will never marry her, and Prince Xuan can still get a beautiful concubine, why not?"

Mu Wenxuan was immediately in a dilemma.

Thinking of Mu Cang, the ruthless Ninth Uncle, 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 50,000 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 marry her only."

Mu Wenxuan thought about it. The Nine Emperors Uncle only had military strategies and family and country in his heart. How could he have cared about women for so many years?

If he wants to marry and take concubines, the imperial city is full of noble ladies from aristocratic families 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." m.

Mu Wenxuan nodded and quickly left.

Gu Anxian walked to the side and sat down at the stone table. The maid served tea. A person 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.

To deal with Yan Li, Mu Wenxuan, who is impulsive, lustful and short of money, is the most suitable candidate.
