Chapter 209 Revenge Again
The fourth floor of "Yufulou".
Huo Yuchen, Baili Qingyun and Lin Pianran were sitting together, drinking tea leisurely.
Baili Qingyun said, "Prince Chang's health is fine now, but he will have difficulty walking and will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He will never be able to ascend to the throne again."
"It is said that since he returned from his injury, Emperor Wu of Qin has not been as fond of him as before. Now, he pays more attention to Prince Qi and Prince Gong instead."
Huo Yuchen snorted coldly. When he talked about his father, it was as if he was talking about someone he disliked, with a cold expression on his face.
"My father! Who is he truly loyal to? He will ruthlessly abandon anyone who is worthless."
Baili Qingyun quickly changed the subject, not wanting Huo Yuchen to suffer further harm because of his ruthless and ungrateful father, Emperor Wu of Qin.
He continued, "He said that the person who murdered him wore a fox mask, and that person's target was the dragon throne beneath Emperor Wu of Qin."
"Anyone who might compete with him for that position would be his target of persecution."
"Because Prince Chang was favored by Emperor Qin, he felt quite threatened, which is why he took action against Prince Chang in advance."
"In other words, any prince who has the chance to inherit the throne could be his target."
"Your Highness, please be more careful when you go out in the future. Don't let the person behind the scenes take advantage of you."
"From what he said, I can tell that he is also a member of the royal family and has coveted the throne for a long time."
"He also revealed that his mother was of a very noble status, but no other information was known."
Huo Yuchen's face was solemn after hearing this. "That means the person behind this is also a member of the royal family, and his mother is of noble status. This information is still too little, and we can't analyze his true identity at all."
"This area is still too large, so we can only investigate it slowly."
"There are only so many members of the royal family. If we list them all and investigate them one by one, we'll definitely gain something."
"Besides, the person behind the scenes will make another move in the future. He will eventually reveal his true colors."
Lin Pianran thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness can also go to Prince Chang and ask about the fox masked man's height, build, and approximate age. Perhaps you can narrow it down further."
When Baili Qingyun heard this, his eyes lit up, "Oh! My Pianpian is still smarter."
"I'll go and ask around later."
Huo Yuchen also felt that he had to find out the true identity of the mastermind as soon as possible and find out the rat hiding in the gutter.
Otherwise, he would suddenly appear and do evil, and his actions would be ruthless, forcing people to be on guard.
It’s better to find it out as soon as possible and get rid of it quickly.
Lin Pianran said again, "I always feel that there is something strange about Prince Zhao's Mansion. Your Highness can pay more attention to it. This time when I go to the birthday banquet, I plan to investigate quietly."
"I heard that Gu Xiangsi will also be there this time. I also want to meet the third lady of the Grand Tutor's Mansion and see what kind of person she is."
Baili Qingyun said solemnly, "Did she kidnap you? I'll help you vent your anger! Even if I don't kill her, I'll at least cripple her and make her regret it."
"It's just that I didn't know earlier that the Grand Tutor's Mansion dared to attack Sister Pianpian. Otherwise, I would never treat the injury on Grand Tutor Gu's arm even if you gave me a lot of silver."
Lin Pianran smiled and joked, "Don't wait until you see that Gu Xiangsi is a rare beauty and you can't bring yourself to do it. What will you do then?"
Baili Qingyun quickly waved his hands, "How is that possible? After seeing a beauty like Sister Pianpian, I've long been immune to other women. In my heart, other women are nothing but clouds. Sister Pianpian will always come first."
"Don't worry, brother will definitely help you get revenge."
"If the Grand Tutor's Mansion dares to harm my sister, they are your enemy and my brother's enemy. I will definitely stand on the same front with you and fight against the enemy together."
"By the way, how does Sister Pianpian plan to deal with this bad guy Gu Xiangsi?"
Lin Pianran's expression suddenly turned cold and stern. "If Gu Xiangsi can do it on the first day, I can do it on the fifteenth. If she dares to raise her claws, she will have to bear my revenge."
"Doesn't she want a good reputation? I will find a way to ruin her reputation at the banquet at Prince Zhao's mansion."
"Isn't she good at business? I'll cut off her source of income first. Without her financial support, let's see how long she can continue to run rampant."
Baili Qingyun chuckled and said, "Yes, don't let her go! Does she think the Grand Tutor's Mansion is so great? Attacking others for no reason is truly despicable!"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and took out 60,000 taels of silver notes from his chest and handed them to Lin Pianran, "This is the silver note I earned on my trip to Pingcheng."
"I cured Prince Chang, Emperor Wu of Qin, the Grand Tutor, the Prince of Qi, and other ministers, earning a total of 60,000 taels of silver. I'll give it all to you!"
Lin Pianran couldn't help but laugh when she saw his expression of pretending to be generous but feeling a little painful.
He took out 20,000 taels of silver from the banknotes and returned them to Baili Qingyun, "I can't let you make this trip in vain. These are your rewards."
Baili Qingyun took the banknote with a smile and stuffed it back into the lapel of his shirt.
"Thank you, sister Pianpian, for the reward! As expected, I still get to eat meat by following my sister."
Huo Yuchen watched the two of them happily dividing the spoils, but did not participate. He quietly called Lu Jianmin and gave him a few instructions.
Baili Qingyun and Lin Pianran saw it and thought there were other important things, so they didn't take it to heart.
That night, the three farms outside the city of the Grand Tutor's Mansion were attacked by a large number of bandits and were robbed clean.
They robbed everything in the farm and drove away all the servants, leaving the farm in a mess and empty.
In addition to the shops under Gu Xiangsi's name, the Grand Tutor's Mansion itself also had more than a dozen shops, all of which were completely smashed overnight.
This caused the losses of the Grand Tutor's Mansion to increase again.
Gu Xiangsi's father, Gu Linhai, was knocked unconscious and had both legs broken on his way home after drinking with someone outside. He was then stripped of his clothes and thrown in a disheveled state at the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
It was not until early this morning that it was discovered by the security guards.
When he was found, he was covered in blood, the blood was almost coagulated, he was breathing weakly, and was in a deep coma.
The next day, when Grand Tutor Gu heard about this, he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
At this time, he also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Gu Xiangsi must have offended someone, which not only caused her heavy losses, but also implicated the entire Grand Tutor's Mansion.
As a result, all the properties of the Grand Tutor's Mansion were inexplicably destroyed.
This is completely going to force the Grand Tutor's Mansion into a desperate situation!
