Chapter 53: The Brain Opens Up
However, Yuan Man's attention was on Qin Haoyang's words that he was still using the prince's silver. Where did he get the prince's silver?
After much thought, there is only one place, that is where the river was built, because that is where the Crown Prince Hui Chengyuan is in charge.
Yuan Man almost laughed as he looked at Qin Haoyang, "Your Majesty has just issued an order that corrupt officials will either have their entire clan executed or their entire clan implicated."
"You used the money that the prince had given to build the canal to buy a prostitute in Qingguan Pavilion. You are really courting death."
"What's even funnier is that he said it so blatantly. Are you afraid that Duke Qin's mansion won't die fast enough?"
"Or are you saying this because you want your brother, the prince, to die soon?"
After all, Qinghuan Pavilion is the property of the eldest son of the Qin family, and few people don’t know about it now.
Su Zhongjue and Qin Haoyang both looked at her.
Qin Haoyang looked at the woman in front of him wearing a veil and shouted, "Shut up, who the hell are you? How dare you slander the Duke Qin's Mansion here?"
"Didn't you say that? There are so many people here, and everyone heard it." Yuan Man said, pointing back.
Yuan Yi stood behind her to protect her, Yuan Jing stood on the other side, along with the waiter and some guests.
Although Su Zhongjue didn't know Yuan Man, he was saying this to help the prince, so he smiled at her and stepped on Qin Haoyang harder.
"It's really sad that the Qin family has a prodigal son like you. However, I have to thank you for helping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince solve a problem."
"Come here, tie him up and bring him back to Kyoto City for the Crown Prince to decide."
Qin Haoyang struggled and said, "Su Zhongjue, you are talking nonsense. These people are just people you hired to slander the Duke Qin's Mansion."
He was not smart, but they said it so bluntly that he naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. How could he let it develop?
But he had already said it, and it was too late to take it back. What was the point of trying to argue further?
Su Zhongjue laughed, "This Yuanlai Inn is not my property, Su. You were the first to come here."
"You said they were bribed by me. Do you have any evidence?"
"And I have so many witnesses."
Qin Haoyang stared at Yuan Man and said, "If you dare to testify recklessly, I, Duke Qin's Mansion, will make sure you die without a burial place."
"Oh, this prince didn't know that the Duke of Qin's Mansion has the final say in Anguo." Hui Chengyuan's voice sounded outside the crowd.
After hearing this, Yuan Man immediately winked at Yuan Yi and distanced himself from him.
I don’t know how long this person has been here or how long he has been listening.
She didn't lower her voice just now, I wonder if he heard it.
Her mouth, no, it was her brain that was enlightened, and whatever she thought of came true.
Before, I thought it was fate and that we would meet when we met. But now, it hasn’t been long since we met.
Hui Chengyuan actually heard it. After all, the scene of their time together at the farm in Mingzhou City kept replaying in his mind. How could he not hear it?
I am also extremely glad that I came to Jingcheng.
Originally, Lingkong and others were arranged to capture Qin Haoyang, but he thought that the river construction would pass through Jingcheng, so he came in person after inspecting along the river route.
Qin Haoyang's face turned pale when he heard his voice. If someone hadn't supported him, he would have almost fallen to the ground.
I didn’t even feel the pain in my broken leg, I just felt cold all over.
Su Zhongjue showed a genuine smile, "Cousin."
Hui Chengyuan nodded to him, and after asking everyone who was bowing to stop bowing, he looked at Qin Haoyang and said, "You are very good. You dare to touch this prince's money."
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I, I was just joking with Su Zhongjue." Qin Haoyang was shaking as he spoke.
Hui Chengyuan didn't want to talk to him any more, so he waved and had him taken away.
He looked at Su Zhongjue and asked, "Why are you here?"
Su Zhongjue immediately told all about Qin Haoyang's scheme against him, "I was just careless and got tricked by such a brainless person."
"So, I followed him here."
Hui Chengyuan was about to say something when he saw the figure trying to leave, so he immediately said, "Where are you going?"
Yuan Man's back froze as he turned around. He wanted to pretend he didn't hear anything, but when he saw the guards surrounding the outside, he didn't move.
"Ah, I'm not going anywhere." Su Zhongjue responded in confusion.
Seeing that her cousin was not looking at her, she immediately followed his gaze.
When he saw the girl wearing a veil, Su Zhongjue immediately stepped forward and said, "It's you. Thank you for speaking up for justice just now."
"But how do you know that Qin Haoyang used the silver from the construction of the river?"
Hui Chengyuan pulled him away, stood in front of Yuan Man, glanced at Yuan Yi and said, "Everyone disperse."
The guards began to disperse the onlookers.
After the crowd dispersed, Hui Chengyuan looked at Yuan Man and said, "Shu Li, let's talk."
"Brother, do you know her?" Su Zhongjue looked at Yuan Man through the curtain.
She was dressed in a neither-male nor-female outfit, and her appearance couldn't be seen clearly through the curtain. How did my cousin recognize her?
Hui Chengyuan glanced at him and said, "You go back first."
"Please come in."
It is easy to tell who these two sentences are addressed to, but Su Zhongjue doesn't want to tell the difference.
But he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only leave in disappointment.
Yuanman wanted to go along, but he couldn't leave because Hui Chengyuan was staring at him.
As soon as Chao Yuan signaled him to leave first, he went into Room No. 1.
Hye Seung Won sat down at the table and motioned for her to sit.
Yuan Man sat down helplessly and said, "Just say what you want to say." She shouldn't have come to watch this excitement. Why didn't she lose this fine tradition?
Hui Chengyuan looked at the curtain in front of him, and wanted to lift it up. He pursed his lips and said, "I wonder if Leshan Hou has mentioned to you that I want to marry you?"
"You don't have to rush to refuse. If you feel that we are still too unfamiliar with each other, we can spend some time together and then you can answer."
Yuan Man blinked. Wasn’t it appropriate for a time traveler like her to say such things?
How can you steal the lines!
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Hui Chengyuan continued, "If you have any concerns, you can raise them. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."
Yuan Man put away his thoughts and asked, "If I marry you, I don't want to stay in the harem forever, is that okay?"
Hui Chengyuan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but the cumulative time away from home cannot exceed half a year."
Half a year is enough.
No, I haven’t agreed yet.
Yuan Man shook his head and continued to ask: "Can you really guarantee that you won't take concubines or have a harem?"
"Can you withstand the advice of the courtiers? After all, emperors of all dynasties have taken the daughters of courtiers as concubines to stabilize the court. Don't you need to do that?"
Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "I can promise you that I can do it. You don't have to worry about it."
"Shu Li, you should think about it carefully. You can't stay single for your whole life. Yuan Bao also needs a father."
"And I am Yuanbao's father. There is no better choice than me."
Yuan Man looked at him through the curtain, "I am just a first-class commoner. Will your father, the emperor, and mother agree?"
