After listening to Gu Changrui's words, Huarong didn't want to eat or see the beauty. He just wanted to confirm whether the news was true or not.
"Big brother, tell me clearly, where did the news come from?"
Gu Changgrui had been worried about Hua Rong, so he had temporarily forgotten about the Eighth Prince. When he came back to his senses, he had the same thought as Hua Rong. Perhaps the Eighth Prince's people had been messed with.
"That day when the eleventh prince was apprenticed, the emperor also told your father to secretly look for the eighth prince. So your uncle began to investigate. He found that Lou Yiyang left the capital with a child. That child was born in the same year as the eighth prince and was in the Family Lou. Lou Yiyang's first wife hated this child very much."
"Isn't he Lou Yiyang's nephew?" Huarong felt that he was about to hear another melodramatic drama.
Gu Changrui shook his head, "Rumor has it that he is Lou Yiyang's son, but I don't know why he was raised as a nephew. Lou Yiyang dotes on this nephew very much, but he is always engrossed in poetry and doesn't care about the secular world. This Young Master Lou has been spoiled by his wife."
"That's not right. If it's so easy to investigate, the emperor must have found it. Why does he still need our Gu family?" Huarong quickly found a loophole, "And I also read the file the emperor gave me. It says that the people who secretly sent the eighth prince away are all dead. If Lou Yiyang really took the eighth prince away, how can he still be alive?"
"There is one possibility, the emperor didn't tell you everything, or …"
The brother and sister looked at each other, "Or the emperor's people are lying."
Huarong suddenly felt a chill on his back. If the emperor's people were lying, then it was dangerous. He didn't know who that person was and whose people he was.
"No, no, no." Huarong shook his head, "I'd rather believe that he is fake. If he is real, with the emperor's current muddle-headedness, the world will be in chaos. Then our family's business will still be done?"
The originally heavy atmosphere was dispelled by Huarong's words. Gu Changrui couldn't help but laugh. "What are you thinking about in that little head of yours? All you think about is our family's business? "
"Our family's small business allows us to live comfortably. If we don't think about it, what should we think about? What does it have to do with us who becomes the emperor? It's just a matter of living a peaceful and prosperous life. "
"Alright, don't think too much about it. Whether or not he's the real Eighth Prince, we'll know after some investigation." Gu Changrui was afraid that his sister would be hungry and wanted to end the topic as soon as possible. "Hurry up and eat."
Huarong's head was buzzing, and he was in a bad mood. Zhang Xiaotian was also in a bad mood because he was not liked by Ruyi. When they met in the corridor, they looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
After sighing, Zhang Xiaotian asked, "Boss, why are you sighing? Miss Ruyi likes you so much. "
Huarong leaned against the railing and tilted his head to look at the blue sky outside the window. "Life is unpredictable. God makes fools of us. The heavens are not fair!"
"Boss, what's going on?" Zhang Xiaotian decided to use his boss's matter to divert his attention. He did not want to think about Ruyi's stubborn face anymore.
"Do you think it's better for the world to be in chaos or for peace?" Huarong asked without rhyme or reason.
However, Zhang Xiaotian did not even think about it. He opened his mouth and said, "Of course it's better for the world to be in chaos. When the world is in chaos, war will break out everywhere. When the smoke of war fills the air, I'll be able to lead troops to the battlefield. When we win, let's see if my father will still say that I'm useless."
Huarong: "Scram!"
"Boss, don't worry. If the world is in chaos, I'll choose the clothes and shoes your family will make for my troops."
Huarong kicked him in the butt and said fiercely, "Scram! You think I don't know that it's hard to get money from the imperial court? If I make clothes for you, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back. Scram, hurry up and scram. "
"Boss, I'm not that kind of person." Zhang Xiaotian still tried to quibble. It never occurred to him that if the world was in chaos, he might not be able to pay the soldiers. How would he have extra money to buy clothes and shoes?
Huarong saw that he was still being noisy. He took off the gold bracelet he wore in the casino and threw it at his head, "In the future, if you can't pay the soldiers, don't ask me for money. Scram!"
After chasing Zhang Xiaotian away, he decided that whether it was true or not, he had to make up for it.
She had just walked a few steps when Yangzhou began to drizzle. Shuxiu hurriedly pulled her back. Gu Changrui was about to go out and chat with Zhao Han-chul when he saw her. He said earnestly, "Even if you want to make up for it, there's no need to rush. As the saying goes, those who don't know are innocent. Don't be afraid."
Huarong was drenched by a few drops of rain. Her mind became clearer. She nodded, "If he's not willing to forgive me, I'll make sure he can't return to the capital. In any case, the Emperor didn't find anything."
Gu Changrui, "… …" That's not impossible.
The next day, Huarong was calm. She looked as if she didn't care who it was. After eating and drinking to her heart's content, she took Zhang Xiaotian and the others to Miaoyin Pavilion to pick up Ruyi. Although the Lai Jiu didn't manage to win Ruyi's favor, he still very attentively prepared a luxurious carriage for Ruyi.
That day, Young Master Lou didn't come. Huarong had already become a popular figure in all of Yangzhou. She was in the limelight for a time. She took Ruyi to wander around Yangzhou. She even pulled out a knife when she saw injustice on the road, painstakingly trying to win the beauty's smile. Gu Changrui and Zhao Han-chul accompanied Yangzhou's officials to feast on fish and meat.
From this, it could be seen that the old Emperor was old. Otherwise, how could those officials dare to be so impudent?
After another day, the deadline was up. Young Master Lou still didn't come. Zhang Xiaotian couldn't sit still, "Boss, he didn't come. What do we do?"
"What do we do? If he doesn't return the money, we'll report him to the officials. "
Zhang Xiaotian smiled vulgarly. Imitating Huarong's previous expression, he said, "Boss, I heard that your brother has been very close to several officials in Yangzhou recently." He even raised his eyebrows.
Huarong slapped him on the head, "Where did you learn such corrupt thinking? My big brother is only accompanying the Crown Prince, okay? My big brother is the most upright. He has never bribed officials. Otherwise, our family would have become the richest long ago. Would Lai Jiu's father even have a chance? "
His words were heartbroken and full of sincerity.
Lai Jiu just happened to pass by. He immediately defended his father, "Although our family is related to the Minister's Mansion, we have never done anything that violates the law. Boss, don't speak nonsense."
"Yes, yes, yes. Your family's distant relatives from the Minister's Mansion have a very good heart. They never accept money when they do good deeds." Huarong rolled his eyes at him, "Did Ruyi pay any attention to you?"
"No." Both of them shook their heads.
"Where's Lin Heqing?"
"Ruyi said he wanted to eat peach blossom soup, so he went to buy it."
After yesterday's rain, Yangzhou became much colder. Moreover, the cold and damp weather made people not want to go out. How could there be peach blossoms? Huarong curled his lips, "You're so useless. You give her whatever she wants. How can you please her? Have you memorized the book of picking up girls? "
"Yes." Both of them nodded.
Huarong suddenly thought of something and looked at Lai Jiu, "I asked you to copy it 100 times. You didn't finish it, right?"
"Boss, where are we going to play today? I need to prepare the money! "Lai Jiu wanted to change the topic.
