Having learned two lessons from feudal ethics, Gu Wan'er became even more cautious in her actions.
only……
She felt she must be having a run of bad luck.
When she heard for the third time that the shop she had chosen had been rented by someone else, she was devastated.
That was the shop she painstakingly chose after making countless excuses to go out and carefully selecting it.
Is it easy for her to go out?
Damn it, which bitch dared to go against her?
Do you know who it is?
“This servant went to see the two shops that were robbed before, and now they are both owned by Peach Blossom Residence. This time, it was Peach Blossom Residence that robbed our shop.”
Peach Blossom Residence?
Princess Consort of Chu?
Gu Wan'er suppressed her anger and said, "Sell only alcoholic beverages?"
"No, they're selling whatever we originally planned to sell."
Gu Wan'er felt dizzy.
This is clearly going against her.
Damn it, that little bitch, Princess Chu.
She's been behaving very well lately, carefully avoiding those royal relatives. What could she have done to offend her?
The maidservant glanced at Gu Wan'er's expression, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
"Speak! What are you hiding?" Gu Wan'er said irritably. She looked down on these maids, who were born to be oppressed and stupid, and had no humanity at all.
"This servant wonders, is it because of the Eighth Prince...?"
“Foolish! The royal family has always been heartless. What right does she, an outsider who has married into the family, have to stand up for the Eighth Prince? You may leave. Let me have some peace and quiet.”
Gu Wan'er was extremely annoyed.
Her current situation is very different from what she expected.
He met the emperor, but did not immediately make a name for himself.
They wanted to start a business, but faced obstacles at every turn.
Marrying?
Her marriage prospects seem to be fraught with difficulty now; who would dare to marry someone who defies the imperial decree?
Having been betrothed to the Eighth Prince, marrying the Fifth Prince seemed even more hopeless.
For a moment, she was at a loss. What should she do?
Should I obediently act as the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Yong'an's mansion?
Although she enjoyed wealth and luxury, she faced many restrictions, the most serious being that she couldn't leave the house, and she was almost driven crazy by the confinement.
In the history she knew, the Fifth Prince, Mu Qianzhong, ascended the throne and became emperor. The other princes seemed to have met with bad ends. Those who survived pretended to be deaf and mute for the rest of their lives, and lived miserable lives.
To truly enjoy life, you must associate with winners.
Fifth Prince.
She clenched her fists.
...
A secluded residential house.
A figure emerged from the darkness, removed its hood, and revealed a dazzling, radiant face.
Gu Wan'er.
Mu Qianzhong frowned slightly, his cold eyes narrowing.
He was drawn out by a letter.
The ideas on governance proposed in the letter were extremely novel, and most importantly, it put forward a decree on agriculture, which was very much to Mu Qianzhong's liking, making him immediately want to recruit this person to his cause.
Therefore, he condescended to come to this dilapidated courtyard to show respect and humbly serve the virtuous and talented.
only……
Gu Wan'er.
His face, which had remained perfectly still, almost cracked, but he managed to stay calm.
"Miss Gu, what business do you have with me?"
Gu Wan'er chuckled softly. Sure enough, she'd been lured out.
The agricultural decree she mentioned in her letter was the first decree benefiting the people issued by Mu Qianzhong after he ascended the throne. It was something I memorized in history textbooks, and it would be quite useful for fishing.
"It is Wan'er who has been presumptuous to disturb the Fifth Prince. Wan'er has come to see you today because she has a request."
"What is it?"
"Wan'er is willing to follow the Fifth Prince to the death, and hopes that the Prince will grant her wish."
Mu Qianzhong's breath hitched.
Why?
"Among all the princes, none is more capable of achieving great things than the Fifth Prince."
The words struck Mu Qianzhong like a heavy hammer. He stood up abruptly, left without saying a word, and walked away quickly.
That letter is real!!!
Gu Wan'er was completely bewildered. What... what does this mean?
