Tong Cheng'er felt that she really couldn't mention other men in front of that person in the future, as her body couldn't withstand any more strain.

Another day passed, and Su Peisheng was still investigating the person behind Mo Chenyu when the Ninth Prince suddenly came to his door.

He happened to run into Yinzhen at the gate of the mansion when Yinzhen was coming off his business that evening. Just as the gatekeeper was about to go in to announce his arrival, Yinzhen's carriage stopped.

Yinzhen got off the carriage and was somewhat surprised to see the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Fourth Brother."

Don't be so polite.

The Ninth Prince lowered his hand and stood aside.

"What brings you here? Is something the matter?"

Yinzhen knew his younger brother very well; he was obsessed with making money and couldn't extricate himself from it. He heard that his brother was tinkering with something again, but he didn't ask too many questions.

The Ninth Prince said rather awkwardly, "I've come here today to apologize."

Yinzhen looked puzzled: "Apologize?"

What is there to apologize for?

What did you do?

The Ninth Prince didn't say, "Why don't we go inside and talk about it?"

It's inconvenient outside.

Yinzhen nodded: "Come with me to the study."

The Ninth Prince followed Yinzhen to the study in the front courtyard.

After entering, Yinzhen sat down and then beckoned to the Ninth Prince, "You sit down too."

The Ninth Prince quickly shook his head: "I won't sit."

Yinzhen didn't press him: "Now you can tell me!"

The Ninth Prince figured he was going to die sooner or later anyway, so he might as well just die.

"Fourth Brother, the incident involving Mo Chenyu near Wangyue Tower the day before yesterday was arranged by me. I just didn't expect to run into you, Fourth Brother. I really didn't mean to."

He just wanted to take this opportunity to make a big fuss, but who would have thought that it would actually escalate and end up involving his fourth brother.

This was like pulling the tiger's hair out of its head. When he found out, he was so scared that the hair on the back of his head stood on end. He immediately ran over and admitted his mistake. It was much better for him to confess on his own than for his fourth brother to come after him after he was discovered.

Yinzhen was surprised to hear this; he never expected that this matter would be related to Xiao Jiu.

"Tell me your thoughts."

Yinzhen felt that Yang Huaidan was not a person without sense of propriety. Yang Huaidan had indeed committed many evils and bullied others by abusing his power. Now he just wanted to know the reason.

Mo Chenyu was indeed pitiful, but Yinzhen didn't think that a prince who grew up in the palace would pity a pitiful little guy for no reason.

There must be another reason.

He was now very curious about what had made Xiao Jiu so meticulous in her scheming.

Once they reach their level, they often don't need to bother with people like Yang Huaidan.

"Fourth Brother, this is a long story. Mo Chenyu was introduced to me by one of my advisors. Ever since Fourth Sister-in-law made a name for herself in the sofa business, I've become very interested in these skilled craftsmen. My people know this and would introduce me to some from time to time. I met Mo Chenyu a few days ago and after witnessing his talent, I thought he was very capable and wanted to keep him around. However, Mo Chenyu had reservations. At that time, he didn't know my identity and thought I was just a wealthy businessman from the capital. He was afraid that I would offend the Cao family because of him, so he explained the reason. When I heard that it was the Cao family's grandson who did this, I had someone carefully investigate the truth. Mo Chenyu didn't lie, and that's how the scene you saw the day before yesterday came about."

Yinzhen felt something was wrong; it wasn't worth offending the Cao family for the sake of a talented craftsman.

"Anything else?"

The Ninth Prince chuckled: "Nothing can be hidden from Fourth Brother. My admiration for Mo Chenyu's talent is only one reason. The second reason is that I don't like the Cao family. They have been entrenched in Jiangnan for too long, making it difficult to do business there."

The Ninth Prince's business was extremely large, but of course, it was all legitimate business; he wouldn't dare to do anything illegitimate.

He's successful in the capital, but when it comes to wealthy places, the Jiangnan region is the best, and he certainly won't let that opportunity slip by.

However, Jiangnan was where the Cao family's interests lay, so naturally they were unwilling to let go of the interests that originally belonged to them, and the two sides were arguing quite fiercely.

Cao Jiaming was very polite to him on the surface, but he looked down on what Cao did behind the scenes; Cao Jiaming was a complete scoundrel.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to severely damage the Cao family, so that he could open up the market in Jiangnan.

The Yang family, to which Yang Huaidan belonged, was a well-known wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were a money bag for the Cao family.

With such a good opportunity, the Ninth Prince naturally couldn't miss it, which led to the scene in front of the Moon Gazing Tower.

The Ninth Prince's plan was excellent. People came and went in front of Wangyue Tower, most of whom were respectable people. They were not afraid of the Cao family in Jiangnan, so they could spread the word about the Cao family's domineering behavior.

If the Cao family were to pull strings for Yang Huaidan, the Ninth Prince would have a plan to deal with them!

The Ninth Prince was surprised to see Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er going out.

Although the Ninth Prince was arrogant, he knew who he couldn't afford to offend. Although he didn't know what Yinzhen was planning, the Ninth Prince couldn't see through him, so when his men found out that Su Peisheng was accompanying Mo Chenyu to report to the authorities, he rushed over in a panic.

"Tell me about the Cao family."

Yinzhen learned a lot about the Cao family from his dream, after all, the Cao family was only able to be used because Yongzheng had confiscated their property.

Although he knew, it was all in a dream, so his understanding wasn't very clear. It was like he dreamt for a hundred years and only saw the prosperity of the future, which was just a superficial view.

He wanted to know what the current situation was with the Cao family that made him so angry.

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince asked, "Fourth Brother, you're not angry, are you?"

Yinzhen shook his head: "Yang Huaidan is in the wrong, and you didn't do anything wrong, so why should I be angry with you?"
