Lord Gu quickly pulled the person into his arms and coaxed, "Mr. Songshan and I also thought of this, and Prince Qi also had this plan. Go to sleep, go to sleep."

Unfortunately, Qin Yuan was even more wide awake when this topic came up. She struggled a few times, broke free from Lord Gu's embrace, sat up, and stared at Lord Gu, asking, "Tell me properly, did you think of this beforehand and that's why you moved the pawn buried with Yelü Guzha? The one who came to rescue me today was one of Prince Qi's men."

The King of Qi's men were all assigned to Yelü Guzha's side.

These men like to use honey traps.

It's true that men understand men best.

They're all birds of a feather.

erotic!

Lord Gu got up as well, baring his chest and leaning against the bed with his eyes half-closed, muttering, "I've been working so hard outside for so many days and haven't had a good night's sleep, and you!"

This woman won't wait until dark to take revenge, so you absolutely must not mess with her.

"How could I not be bothered by Yelü Xianyong's words? When the Prince of Qi learned that the Crown Prince and Yelü Guzha were in close contact, he arranged for someone to go in and gather information. This time, Mr. Songshan sent a message to me, and the Prince of Qi also learned that Yelü Guzha was going to the You family. After discussing it, they made all the necessary arrangements."

Didn't I tell you? I won't let anything happen to you.

The original plan was to have Qin Yuan knocked unconscious and taken away, but Qin Yuan was so alert and had excellent acupuncture skills that they were completely unprepared and instead caused trouble for Prince Jin.

Thinking of this, Lord Gu felt quite smug.

My wife is really beautiful and capable.

Qin Yuan reached out and pinched his chest, spitting out, "Why didn't you say so earlier? You made Baozhu and me worry all day."

Lord Gu hurriedly cried out, "Your Majesty, please spare me!"

Qin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Hearing this, the discomfort she felt completely dissipated. It had been agreed that Lord Gu would support her at the You family, but in the end, he didn't show up.

Although nothing serious happened, she secretly made a mental note of it.

I'm just waiting to deal with this jerk later.

Lord Gu sighed, "One is my wife, and the other is my sister. Although Baozhu knows a little martial arts, it's nothing special. I know they have ill intentions, so how could I not make preparations?"

Qin Yuan smiled and lay back down. Lord Gu casually pulled her into his arms, drew the quilt over her head, and patted her gently: "Can you sleep now?"

Qin Yuan shook her head: "Not yet. Tell me honestly, what exactly is going on with the Mo family?"

Lord Gu sighed, "Nothing can be hidden from you. The Mo family is a bit strange. I'm very worried about them... Is the Mo family involved in the silver theft case? Does Mo Xiaoni know something that led her to run away from her arranged marriage and come to the capital? So I've handed this matter over to Feiyun Pavilion and asked Mr. Songshan to lead people to carefully sort through the information. Who knows, they might discover something."

Qin Yuan nodded: "That's how it should be. I couldn't say it in front of Mother just now."

Lord Gu said, "This robbery was made possible thanks to Feiyun Pavilion. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly. They made a lot of money selling ginseng from other places and sent it to the capital to bribe Yelü Guzha and his subordinates."

We got all the benefits... No wonder we got so much money from the hostage's residence last time.

"I never imagined that driving the Yelu people out of the northern border would lead them to a path to wealth. Thank goodness I listened to you and sent someone to investigate."

Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Cutting off their source of income is the same as burning their supplies. Without money to pave the way, they can't do anything they plan to do in the capital."

Lord Gu couldn't help but pinch her delicate nose and laughed, "You're absolutely right. If we keep a close eye on them and cut off their path, it will be the same as cutting off the Crown Prince and the others' source of wealth. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

Qin Yuan pressed her advantage: "What do you think about us getting into the ginseng business too? I heard they cross the river directly and sell the ginseng they buy to countries like Korea, where the price can be dozens of times higher. If we grab this business, what can't we do in the future?"

The Yelü people dared not step forward to rob them.

When they went to Liaoshan to collect ginseng, they naturally discovered how the Yelü people oppressed the ginseng diggers and hoarded their wealth. It was absolutely impossible for the Yelü clan to use this opportunity to regroup and rebuild their power.

Lord Gu stared intently at the top of Qin Yuan's head and laughed, "You're really something! That move to cut off their supply lines is indeed brilliant. I'll go and discuss it with Prince Qi again, and see what he thinks..."

Qin Yuan said, "Why should we ask him to do this? We can do it ourselves. At most, he'll get a share later. Have you forgotten what I told you? We're only allied with Prince Qi because we have no other choice. If he really ascends to that position in the future, who knows if he'll hold it against you for refusing his offer, or if he'll even tolerate you. This is still the best-case scenario. If Prince Qi is defeated, we'll have a way out. Haven't you heard of a cunning rabbit having three burrows?"

Lord Gu hesitated and said, "Isn't that a bit..."

Qin Yuan said, "Didn't I tip them off about stockpiling pepper this time? If they believe me, they can naturally make a fortune."

Lord Gu thought for a moment. The business was still in the works, so why upset Qin Yuan? He nodded and said, "As you wish. From now on, the private treasury will be managed by you, and the business will also be under your control. Haven't we already said that you can act as you see fit in matters both inside and outside the manor?"

Qin Yuan was finally satisfied and grumbled, "That's more like it. You'll regret it if you don't listen to me later."

In his previous life, King Qi was highly regarded in the court, and everyone thought he was going to be made crown prince, but he suddenly disappeared. There was a lot more to it than met the eye.

Furthermore, although Gu Jinghui was the former Crown Prince's study companion, he was not Prince Qi's.

They are neither related by blood nor by marriage, and the idea of ​​forming a faction is currently only in its infancy. If they wish to form an alliance, a marriage would be the best way; otherwise, the Crown Prince wouldn't be scheming against Gu Baozhu.

Qin Yuan was certainly not foolish enough to give up Gu Jinghui and bring trouble upon herself.

Lord Gu was so sleepy that he stretched out his strong arms and pulled the person close, saying, "Go to sleep, go to sleep."

The couple slept soundly, but those around them couldn't sleep well.

Yelü Guzha stormed into the brightly lit hall of the hostage residence in a fit of rage. His disheveled hair made him look like a ghost, his deep-set eyes were bloodshot, and he angrily swung his powerful arm, cracking the leather whip in his hand, shouting, "You bunch of good-for-nothings, you've lost so much silver, and you still have the nerve to come see me!"

Seeing the white whip marks left on the blue bricks, the people kneeling on the ground gasped and cried out for mercy, afraid of being too late.

"Young Master, we never expected something to happen on the road. We've traveled this road several times before..."

“Yes, young master, there are usually no people gathering to rob on that road. We all carried knives and spears, and no one dared to provoke us along the way. Who would have thought there was an ambush? Did someone leak the news?”
