Chapter 306 Who should I lie to and steal from Gu Qianhan?

Mo Ji: "This... could it be that the young master is trying to trick the second young master Gu into stealing the young master's wife?"

"right!"

"No, absolutely not! Putting aside how much the Princess Consort likes the Crown Prince's wife, and how well the Crown Prince's wife manages the manor, just the fact that your principal wife is taken away by the Second Young Master Gu, who knows how people will laugh at you!"

Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "Then tell me, who should I lie to Gu Qianhan and steal from?"

Mo Ji's eyes darted around, and he whispered, "I think it's good that he takes Aunt Chu away. Aunt Chu isn't favored by you anymore anyway. Let's just leave her with Young Master Gu and let him have his way!"

"Nonsense! Do you even have a brain? If Gu Qianhan steals Yan Luo away, I'll be the one who'll be laughed at to death!"

Xiao Qingyuan's first reaction was to scold Mo Ji for coming up with a bad idea, but after thinking about it carefully, he actually thought the idea was quite good!

If he had to choose between Shen Wantang and Chu Yanluo, he would choose to keep Shen Wantang.

He had many reasons in mind for wanting Shen Wantang to stay, but after racking his brains for a long time, he couldn't come up with a single reason to make Chu Yanluo stay!

He himself was shocked. Since when did Shen Wantang become so important? And since when did he feel that Chu Yanluo was dispensable?

He was extremely frustrated by this problem, and the fact that Huayi had been taken away by Gu Qianhan made him even more agitated.

He scolded Moji: "Why is the carriage moving so slowly? At this rate, when will we get back to the palace? You're driving so sluggishly, I should have named you a fast horse!"

Mo Ji had no choice but to whip the horse: "Giddy up!"

The horse, in pain, galloped forward like a madman, its speed suddenly increasing dramatically.

The road was full of potholes, and Xiao Qingyuan cried out in pain, "You idiot, are you trying to kill me with all this jolting?! It's too fast, slow down!"

Inkjet printer: "..."

Too fast or too slow, the young master is really hard to please!

He was even a little envious of Jixiang. Jixiang was happy every day following the Second Young Master Gu. The Second Young Master Gu looked cold, but he was actually much easier to talk to than the kind-hearted Xiao Qingyuan!

Moreover, he had previously inquired with Jixiang and learned that Jixiang's official monthly allowance was five taels of silver, but the Second Young Master Gu actually gave him over a hundred taels of silver every month to run errands!

If 100 taels is not enough for the task he is asked to do, Jixiang can ask the Second Young Master Gu for more. If there is any left over, no matter how much is left, it all belongs to Jixiang!

Jixiang is now rolling in wealth!

On the other hand, his original monthly allowance was also five taels of silver. It was only after the Crown Princess arrived and saw how loyal and hardworking he was that she specially increased it to eight taels.

The problem is that after receiving the money, it was almost all spent on the young master. There was no other reason; the young master was always short of money. Today he angered the princess, tomorrow he angered the princess consort, and the day after tomorrow he somehow angered the prince.

The three wealthy masters in the manor are all unwilling to give the young master any money to spend, so the young master is now poorer than him, a mere servant!

Mo Ji was extremely worried, but when they returned to the Prince's mansion, he was even more worried because the guards were stationed at the gate and wouldn't let them in!

Xiao Qingyuan was furious: "Get out of my way! Are you all blind? You dare to stop me?!"

The guard spoke respectfully, but his words were firm: "I am acting on His Highness's orders to stop the young master. His Highness already knows that the young master went to mourn his maid's mother. He is very angry and said that you are no longer his son."

Xiao Qingyuan's face was extremely ugly: "Father is so heartless, he doesn't even recognize his own son! This must be Shen Wantang's doing again. Of all the people in the palace, she's the one who loves to complain about me the most!"

The guard looked at him with a complicated expression: "It has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. It was the Princess who sent her personal maid, Granny Quan, to inform the Prince. The Crown Prince should know that the Princess was the angrier when you went to attend the funeral of the maid's mother."

Xiao Qingyuan clutched his aching chest and said impatiently, "You make such a big deal out of nothing, like the sky is falling! Go tell my mother that I didn't attend the funeral for the maid's mother at all, and that Huayi's mother is still alive!"

The guard was stunned: "What?"

Huayi's mother is still alive? Why is that young master acting like his mother has died? He's making a scene, insisting on going back to Huayi's parents' home with her, and even pulled out a knife to threaten her!

Mo Ji quickly said, "Wen Sheng, what the young master said is true. Hua Yi's mother is really alive. The young master didn't attend anyone's funeral! Moreover, the young master was injured outside just now and needs to be treated by the imperial physician immediately. It won't be good if it's too late! Go and tell the princess quickly!"

The guards had already noticed that Xiao Qingyuan was injured. There was blood on the corner of his mouth and obvious bruises on his face, which showed that he had been beaten.

I don't know which hero avenged the princess, but the princess never dared to hit the crown prince, yet someone outside did it for her.

However, no matter how much the princess dotes on the prince, she is currently in a bad mood and doesn't want to provoke him.

Seeing his hesitation, Mo Ji quickly stepped forward and pulled him: "Wen Sheng, hurry up and tell the Princess Consort, otherwise, if the Prince's treatment is delayed and something happens to him, can you bear the responsibility?"

Wen Sheng glanced at him: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Xiao Qingyuan was indeed injured, but his injury was clearly not fatal. Wen Sheng himself was a guard, and getting injured was commonplace for him, so he could easily tell Xiao Qingyuan's condition.

Besides, who in the capital would dare to actually take Xiao Qingyuan's life?

Wen Sheng, holding a long sword, stood at the door like a stone statue, showing no intention of letting Xiao Qingyuan in. He was a man of the Prince of Ning, not Xiao Qingyuan's man.

He didn't move, and the other guards who were with him at the gate naturally didn't move either, because their orders were also not to allow Xiao Qingyuan to enter.

Their tough stance infuriated Xiao Qingyuan so much that he almost coughed up blood again.

"Fine! You've all got too big for your britches! You dare to stop me, the heir apparent! Just you wait, when I get back, I'll kick you all out!"

But no one took his words to heart. The only people he could drive away were the servants around him, namely Mo Ji.

Other people in the Prince's residence are either under the jurisdiction of the Crown Princess or the Prince.

Before the Crown Princess entered the household, they had to worry about whether the Crown Prince would drive them away. But since the Crown Princess entered the household, no one has had any worries. They all take their duties seriously and do their jobs conscientiously.

Because the Crown Princess is gentle and calm, she would never arbitrarily dismiss people like the Crown Prince would. Instead, she would give them money, clothes, and shoes.

After a stalemate lasting about half an hour, Xiao Qingyuan suddenly collapsed.

Mo Ji was shocked: "Your Highness! Wen Sheng, quickly call the Princess Consort! No, quickly call the Princess Consort to come and see Your Highness!"
