The two housekeepers came over in a hurry, and after seven or eight steps away, they put their hands on each other and made a blessing gift to the fourth wife, who was in a hurry.
"Girls, go back quickly. The prince has arrived and has given orders from above. Don't come out if you have nothing to do these days."
Madam Wei Si breathed a sigh of relief.
The prince is here, and it will definitely be inconvenient for the second wife to come over tonight. As long as she can get through tonight, the eldest lady will definitely be fine by tomorrow!
Wan Qing felt relieved and silently recited Amitabha.
The Crown Prince will definitely be with the Crown Prince at all times, and he will have to arrange for defense and so on, so he will definitely have no time to care about other things.
Shi Gun told everyone that the Crown Prince will stay in Jiangnan for a while, so that everyone can prepare themselves. This period of time will definitely not be short.
After the prince left and the prince had free time, even if the prince had not forgotten the matter, it was because things had changed, so she would say that she had forgotten and let it go.
Maybe, the Crown Prince will follow the Crown Prince directly back to the capital!
This damn girl is so lucky!
Wan Qing felt relieved and went to the clothing store to look around. She first picked two or three sets of dresses and put them on the outside. Then she picked a dozen clothes with very ordinary colors and materials and placed them on the outside rows.
The prince has already left his job, and the stewards have just made announcements. It seems that this time he is incognito, and he will stay for a while. I am afraid that most of the time he will be walking around incognito, and the attire of the heir apparent in her family should be more ordinary.
Wan Qing summoned all the maids who were working in the clothing warehouse. She first told them about the arrival of the Crown Prince, and then explained one, two, and three. She solemnly told everyone that they must be alert and cautious in their duties. If this happens at this time,
If you make a mistake, it will be more than a third-class mistake. If you do your job carefully, when the prince leaves, the superiors will surely reward you.
Together with the two stewards, they rearranged their shifts and looked around again. Wan Qing then returned to her room with peace of mind, washed her face, picked up her Ahu, rubbed it, and made a drink.
Cha, holding Ahu in his arms, sat on a comfortable rocking chair. Just after saying a few words to Ahu, the woman guarding the door trotted in.
The prince sent someone to call her over.
Wan Qing suddenly felt an ominous feeling in her heart. She hurriedly put down Ah Hu, looked at herself in the mirror, walked out of the house, picked up her skirt and hurried out.
Wan Qing followed the boy into a spacious pavilion facing the lake halfway up the mountain.
The eldest son of her family was accompanying a gentle young man, pointing out the scenery of the lake and mountains, and talking.
Wan Qing has never met the prince, but the only one who can make her family’s son stand next to her and accompany her like this is the prince.
Wan Qing knelt down directly, kowtowed to the prince first, moved a little, and kowtowed to her family's eldest son. Just as she was about to straighten up, she remembered that there was someone standing next to her. Although she didn't know who it was, she could
Standing with the eldest son and the prince of her family, he must be the one who wants to kowtow. It’s not strange for many people to be polite, so let’s kowtow to another one.
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Wan Qing, who was kowtowing and unable to lift her head.
The prince laughed and was about to say something when Wan Qing had already stood up, took two steps to the side, and stood next to Shi Gun with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes.
The prince shook off his folding fan, concealed his smile, and signaled Gu Yan to ask questions.
"Miss Li always leaves in the evening, why did she leave so early today?" Gu Yan asked.
Wan Qing was stunned for a moment, her heart went blank.
Along the way, her thoughts were racing. What would the prince ask? She thought about dozens of possibilities, but she didn't expect that it was because she walked away early and exposed her trap!
"She said... she said it was time to go back." Wan Qing didn't dare to say that she had finished reading. There were still many books on the long case.
Gu Yan squinted his eyes at Wan Qing, and the prince's eyes dropped. Looking at Wan Qing's two hands tightly twisted together, Wen Bin took two steps to the side, picked up a cup of tea and sipped it.
"Did she leave after seeing Mrs. Shi?" Gu Yan asked clearly.
"Yes." Wan Qing closed her eyes.
It’s over! There’s no way to escape!
"Tell me carefully what they said." Gu Yan brought a cup of tea and handed it to the prince who sat down and prepared to listen.
"Yes!" Wan Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she started with Mrs. Shi's nagging words.
The prince sipped the tea, and when he heard the slightest noise, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yan. Gu Yan's face was tense, and Wenbin quickly lowered his head to sip the tea.
Wan Qing said in one breath that she broke off the engagement, stopped abruptly, lowered her head and said no more.
I really can’t say what’s coming next! I can’t say a single word!
If the prince heard about it from Yulan or the eldest lady in the future, she would say that she was so frightened and confused that she didn't hear it!
She didn't care whether the prince believed it or not. She accepted whether he wanted to be beaten or punished, but she couldn't say it anymore!
"Go down."
Upon hearing Gu Yan's order, Wan Qing turned around and walked out quickly.
"You broke off the engagement because of what she just said?" The prince looked at Gu Yan and asked.
"Yeah." Gu Yan said affirmatively.
"Have you told Miss Li?"
"No, Miss Li is very smart."
"Well, because she is smart and cautious in speaking, you asked her to persuade Mrs. Shi." The prince said slowly.
Wenbin laughed when he heard this.
This Miss Li is really smart, but it is hard to say that she is careful when speaking.
Gu Yan spread his hands in embarrassment.
"I think horizontally and vertically, have you ever been so charming?" The prince continued with a smile.
Gu Yan picked up the cup and sipped tea with his eyes lowered.
"How is the eldest lady?" The prince looked at Shi Gun.
"Replying to the prince, he said it was pretty much the same as usual." Shi Gun hurriedly lowered his hands and answered.
"Please ask Madam Wei Si to come over and accompany her." The prince then ordered.
Shi Gun agreed, lowered his hands and left, going to deliver the message himself.
"Although this little girl speaks too bluntly, she has explained it clearly for you. This is a good thing. The eldest lady is a smart person. Once she understands it, she will be able to get over it." The prince looked at Gu Yan and said.
"Well, I hope so." Gu Yan smiled bitterly.
Wan Qing, this idiot, ran away in a hurry. He must have concealed a lot of things, and what he concealed is the key!
When Shi Gun came back, he brought in a bodyguard who was sweating profusely.
The bodyguard took off his saber, entered the hall, knelt down and kowtowed.
Gu Yan recognized Yang Qifan's confidant, looked at him and kowtowed, and introduced to the prince: "This is Yang Wu's young servant Qingshan." Seeing the prince's gesture, he ordered Qingshan: "Say it."
"Yes, the fifth master asked me to make a trip to report to the prince for Mr. Zhou Huang, who was on the pier:
"Master Huang said: Mr. He Ji Shaodong's He Ba Rui Ming came to him and said that President Zhu of Jiangnan Silk Company planned to support the Chengzi Gang's widow Wu, the late head Zou, to take over the Chengzi Gang.
"Master Huang said that Master He specifically told him that with the support of President Zhu, the Wu family would definitely be able to take over the Chengzi Gang."
"Well, I understand. Thanks for your hard work, Shi Gun, let someone take him to have a bowl of soup to rest, and then give him ten taels of silver." Gu Yan glanced at the prince and ordered.
Watching Qingshan go out, the prince looked at Gu Yan and said: "If we can get the Wu family in our hands, the Silk Shop can get twice the result with half the effort."
Gu Yan hummed and frowned.
"There needs to be a suitable person to talk to." Wen Bin answered.
"Miss Li might be able to do it," Gu Yan said after a moment of silence.
The prince raised his eyebrows slightly.
"She knows that I am rectifying the Customs and Excise Department. She is very knowledgeable and can win people's trust. How about you take a look at it tomorrow? Big brother will take a look at it too," Gu Yan said.
