The Cao family also sent people to discuss with the Ninth Prince, offering very tempting conditions. However, the Cao family's money came from illegitimate sources, and the Ninth Prince earned money out of interest and didn't need it.

Besides, if he could establish a business in Jiangnan, he would make a lot of money, so naturally the negotiations broke down.

After the negotiations broke down, the Cao family secretly sabotaged the Ninth Prince's business in Jiangnan. Although the Ninth Prince had a high status, he could not go there in person. Jiangnan was a remote and inaccessible place, and no matter how capable he was, he could not fight against many people alone, so he naturally lost the battle.

This opportunity came about by chance. The Ninth Prince wanted to take this chance to shake up the foundation of the Cao family. Yang Huaidan's father was a wealthy merchant who relied on the Cao family. The two families depended on each other.

The Ninth Prince was determined to ruin the Yang family this time, no matter what.

If the Yang family falls, the Cao family will inevitably suffer a major blow.

After the Ninth Prince finished speaking, Yinzhen listened and understood his meaning.

"...Fourth Brother, if the Cao family hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have schemed like this."

Yinzhen nodded: "I don't blame you, but you were a bit reckless this time. Yang Huaidan's existence is indeed a guarantee for the cooperation between the Cao and Yang families, but since the memories of the two families are tied together, it might not be a bad way out if the Cao and Yang families really put righteousness before family."

“My brother knows, but even so, I’m still going to do this. Yang Huaidan’s actions are not worth his life. I’ll just kill him one by one.”

Moreover, if Yang Huaidan is truly abandoned by both families, although the Cao and Yang families can unite in times of crisis, they will inevitably develop rifts afterward. If they put in more effort then, it is not impossible for the two families to go their separate ways.

When he went out to do business, he didn't learn much from the Ninth Prince, but he did learn that success depends on human effort.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen carefully examined the Ninth Prince, surprised that he had such thoughts.

However, the Cao family is indeed a problem.

"Father Emperor may not be unaware of what the Cao family has done, but as you know, the old lady of the Cao family is Father Emperor's wet nurse, and Yang Huaidan is her grandson. If Father Emperor knew, he would probably deal with it accordingly. The Cao family cannot be brought down for the time being, and it should be said that they cannot be brought down for a long time."

Of course, there was another major reason he didn't mention: the Cao family had followed Emperor Kangxi in his work, and if they hadn't gone too far, they wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

After all, it's not just the Cao family that's greedy.

They knew perfectly well what was going on, but they were unwilling on the surface; logically and emotionally, the Cao family had not yet crossed the line.

This matter was destined to end inconclusively.

Of course, nothing is absolute. If the Cao family really committed a serious crime that led to their downfall and extermination, they would indeed be unable to escape punishment. However, if it was merely a matter of greed, it would not harm the Cao family.

At least he couldn't be harmed while his father, the Emperor, was in power.

The Ninth Prince believed him and was quite disheartened: "Then what should we do?"

Give in to the Cao family, and you'd rather give up your business in Jiangnan than lose her.

"You didn't do anything wrong. Although the Cao family is highly trusted by the Emperor, if many small mistakes are made, they will eventually become big mistakes. Besides, what you did this time also served as a warning to the Cao family. They should not resort to underhanded tactics again. You can continue your business in Jiangnan with peace of mind!"

Only after hearing this did the Ninth Prince's face show a smile.

"As long as it's useful."

I'm afraid that all my hard work will turn out to be in vain.

Having finished discussing that matter, Yinzhen should now talk about Mo Chenyu.

"Have you investigated the Mohist school thoroughly?"

Ninth Prince: "We've done some investigation, but their ancestral home is in Shandong, so the information we've found is limited. Based on what we've found so far, the Mo family is really unlucky."

Yinzhen: "I don't know if it's unlucky or not, but this incident shows that Mo Chenyu is definitely not a simple person. If I'm not mistaken, he must have come to the capital prepared this time."

He didn't know anything about Mo Jia's character, but Mo Chenyu was clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing, looking pitiful but with a dark side!

The Ninth Prince was taken aback by these words: "What do you mean by that, Fourth Brother?"

Yinzhen spoke up, saying, "You are a prince. Even if you are approachable, is that the kind of person an ordinary person would see? Mo Chenyu just happened to catch your attention, and what he said just happened to be exactly what you wanted. Xiao Jiu, there are no coincidences without a reason."

Having experienced countless coincidences, Yinzhen naturally knew that the chances of such an encounter in the vast sea of ​​people were extremely low.

He believed that most unexpected encounters were carefully planned.

Even if it's the same as "that play" under the Moon Gazing Tower.

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince fell silent, then said, "It shouldn't be that bad! Even if the Mo family had the guts to scheme against me, they wouldn't have the ability to do so!"

Yinzhen: "I don't know what role the Mo family or Mo Chenyu played in this matter. You and the Mo family probably got what you wanted. Even if they did it intentionally, it doesn't matter. I'm just telling you so you can pay more attention to these coincidences in the future."

"Let me ask you, if you were in my position the day before yesterday, would you have suspected Mo Chenyu of having ulterior motives and investigated him thoroughly?"

The Ninth Prince was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head: "No."

For him, helping someone was just a small favor, something that didn't require much thought, so he naturally wouldn't bother to investigate it further.

"Most people won't doubt it, and it's normal that you won't. You have a natural talent for business, but there are many shrewd old foxes in the business world, so you still need to pay more attention and learn more."

Ninth Prince nodded: "Thank you, Fourth Brother. I have learned a lot."

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you. Your fourth sister-in-law has some novel ideas, but she might need Mo Chenyu's help to realize them. Since you have a relationship with him, why don't you ask him if he's willing to come and help?"

The Ninth Prince was overjoyed to hear this: "Fourth Sister-in-law has some new ideas again? That's wonderful! I'll definitely tell Mo Chenyu."

After saying all that, Yinzhen spoke to him at length, sharing his experiences. Despite his young age, he had accomplished a great deal, and having lived a long and fulfilling life, he was a man who had come to his senses. What he said naturally satisfied the Ninth Prince, who then left.

Although the Ninth Prince came here intending to apologize, he actually came to attend a class.

After finishing his speech, the Ninth Prince left. He had gained a lot from his trip.

After the Ninth Prince left, Yinzhen said to Su Peisheng, "There's no need to investigate Mo Chenyu's matter anymore."

Su Peisheng had basically already found out, but since his master had said so, he would stop investigating.

"Yes, Master."

The next day, the Ninth Prince went to one of his antique shops, summoned Mr. Qi, and then set a time for the Ninth Prince to meet with Mo Chenyu.

When Mo Chenyu learned of this news from Mo Bao, he was somewhat bewildered. He knew his own importance and that his relationship with the Ninth Prince was more of a mutually beneficial one. Why would the Ninth Prince want to see him?

This really puzzled him.

But I definitely have to go to this appointment.

The location was set at Wangyue Tower.

Inside the private room, Mo Chenyu went in and said to the Ninth Prince, "Greetings, Ninth Prince. I have difficulty walking, please forgive me."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince looked up and was immediately struck by the man's stunning appearance.

Mo Chenyu's appearance is like a spiritual stone nurtured in the deep mountains and forests, clear and flawless, with a warm and lustrous sheen.
