Chapter 130 Caught in a tryst
Mo Tiancheng stopped what Mo Yunzhu was saying and immediately said in shock: "A tryst? How dare they? Could it be that the Grand Tutor wants to marry his daughter to the Fourth Prince, Jun Wuyang? That's definitely not right. The Grand Tutor doesn't have a good impression of the Fourth Prince."
Mo Yunzhu looked at her father and asked, "Why?"
"When Concubine Xiu entered the palace, the Imperial Tutor was very opposed to it, so Concubine Xiu later secretly suppressed the Imperial Tutor's faction. The Imperial Tutor hated Concubine Xiu so much that he didn't have time to help the Fourth Prince."
Mo Yunzhu understood immediately and said, "Perhaps the Grand Tutor doesn't even know that his daughter is having an affair with the Fourth Prince."
Mo Yunzhu suddenly laughed and said, "Maybe this woman wants to use the Fourth Prince to deal with me?"
Mo Yunzhu thought about how she had warned and threatened Gao Pianran before, and given her personality, she must be holding a grudge against him.
Gao Pianran looks pure and innocent, and she must know how to deal with men, otherwise how could Ouyang Cong, who is so good at business, be fooled by her.
White Lotus is really good at what she does.
Fortunately, Ouyang Cong was sober enough to know that she couldn't afford to offend him, so he spent money to eliminate the disaster and didn't do anything to help Gao Pianran.
However, Ouyang Cong must be uncomfortable about this matter, after all, Gao Pianran spent so much money.
Although the murder was not done, it was done for Gao Pianran after all. But Gao Pianran hooked up with the Fourth Prince, and if Ouyang Cong knew about it, I'm afraid this fool would be furious.
"It's going to be a good show." Mo Yunzhu was not afraid of Gao Pianran jumping around, but was afraid that she wouldn't jump around. As expected, she couldn't hold it back any longer.
Mo Tiancheng looked at his daughter with a sly smile on her face and felt a little unfamiliar with her. Why didn't he realize that his daughter was so smart before?
But it’s a good thing that she has become smart, otherwise she would have died several times. She is smarter than others.
"Dad, I'm going out for a while." Mo Yunzhu stood up and walked out.
"You be careful." Mo Tiancheng could only shake his head. This daughter no longer looked like a lady from a wealthy family. Other girls at home seldom went out, but she ran out every few days.
Fortunately, he was from the General's Mansion, and everyone thought that he was a warrior and did not abide by the rules. Moreover, Mo Yunzhu was broken off her engagement by the Crown Prince and was rumored to be having an affair with Prince Lan, so she didn't care about her reputation anymore.
That night, Lan Yan came to the teahouse next to the general's mansion, and Mo Yunzhu also showed up on time.
"Master, is this information useful?" Lan Yan laughed.
"Of course it is useful. How did you get the news about the Fourth Prince and Gao Pianran?" Mo Yunzhu was very surprised.
"Am I not monitoring Bai Ziya? After the Fourth Prince came out of the Xiu Mansion, I was preparing to go home, but I didn't expect to see the Fourth Prince entering the small house. I was just curious, but I didn't expect to see Gao Pianran."
"How do you know Gao Pianran? Aren't you face-blind?" Mo Yunzhu felt strange.
Lan Yan sneered and said, "Although I can't see this woman's face clearly, I will never forget her voice."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Mo Yunzhu was a little surprised when she saw the hatred in Lan Yan's eyes.
"Gao Pianran killed my wet nurse when she was a child." Lan Yan said, "I really can't imagine a little girl being that vicious."
"What? Something from childhood?"
"Well, Gao Pianran was only six years old at that time, but because she was the daughter of the Grand Tutor, she actually knew more than the average child. On the surface, she was like a little adult.
But I never thought she could be so vicious at such a young age. She was the one who stole the things, but she ended up blaming my nanny. Even if I saw it with my own eyes, my testimony would not count because I have prosopagnosia. My nanny was forced to jump into the well."
Lan Yan clenched his hands into fists, and veins on the back of his hands were throbbing.
"Oh? What did she steal?" Mo Yunzhu asked curiously.
"I stole a night-shining pearl. At that time, there was a banquet at the Ji Mansion and many people were invited. Because he was a child, the matter was forgotten later, but I will always remember how the wet nurse was forced to death."
"It seems that her personality has not changed." Mo Yunzhu began to tell Lan Yan about the incident in Jiutian Pavilion, how Gao Pianran harmed the Gu sisters and finally let her maid serve as a scapegoat.
Then he talked about Gao Pianran taking advantage of Ouyang Cong, which made Lan Yan simply sigh in amazement.
"This woman is probably going to take advantage of the Fourth Prince again, Master. She has a vicious mind and will definitely take revenge on you," Lan Yan said.
Mo Yunzhu touched his chin and said, "She and the Fourth Prince are really together? Is that the kind of thing?"
Lan Yan was stunned for a moment, then said with a slightly embarrassed look on his handsome face: "Of course, both of them entered the small room, and I heard everything clearly. Gao Pianran is a bitch, and she even sang a little song to liven up the atmosphere. It was simply unbearable to listen to, but the Fourth Prince really liked it and kept her company for two hours."
"Pfft!" Mo Yunzhu laughed out loud, "I really didn't expect that she looked at such a noble person."
"That's the Fourth Prince. She won't suffer any loss. Even if she is discovered, she should think that she will become the Fourth Prince's consort."
"As for the Fourth Prince, he looks like a decent human being, how could he be taken down by Gao Pianran? Sigh." Mo Yunzhu thought of Jun Wuyang's handsome face and felt that Gao Pianran was really lucky.
"Hehe, the Fourth Prince actually doesn't like Gao Pianran. He has someone he likes. But as a man, if a woman comes to him, he won't refuse her." Lan Yan said indifferently.
"Ah, who is it?" Mo Yunzhu felt that she had never been so gossipy before.
"Ye Yuqing, the granddaughter of the Minister of Industry, is said to have a good reputation." Lan Yan said, "I have seen her, but I can't remember what she looked like."
"It's Miss Ye." Mo Yunzhu was surprised, "The Fourth Prince likes her?"
"Yes, they are childhood sweethearts, but I don't know whether Miss Ye likes the Fourth Prince. The Ye family also has ambitions and wants Miss Ye to be the mother of the country in the future. According to common sense, Miss Ye should like the Fourth Prince."
Mo Yunzhu thought about how Ye Yuqing really didn't have much of an opinion about the prince when he was choosing his concubine. She was probably only participating because her family forced her to do so.
She still has a favorable impression of Ye Yuqing.
"Master, think of a way to deal with Gao Pianran. This woman is too bad. Let's get rid of this harm for the people." Lan Yan said immediately, "I don't have the chance to contact her. I can't do it."
"Well, we must clean it up, but don't be in a hurry. We have to wait for the opportunity." Mo Yunzhu pondered.
But Mo Yunzhu didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
Three days later, the Empress held a Shuhua Party in the Yu Garden within the palace, inviting all unmarried women of court officials above the fifth rank, regardless of whether they were legitimate or illegitimate, to attend.
Mo Yunzhu, Gao Pianran, and Ye Yuqing are all on the list.
Although no one knows what the Empress' intention is in holding the Shuhua Club, there are many speculations that the Emperor wants to choose daughters-in-law for his sons.
Mo Yunzhu was bewildered when she received the invitation. She thought that if the emperor was choosing a daughter-in-law, she would be the Princess Lan, so was there any need for her to participate?
But when she thought that Gao Pianran would go and the Fourth Prince would also go, she could no longer suppress her evil thoughts.
On that day, all the women were dressed in their best clothes, and five princes who had reached adulthood but had no wives were present.
What Mo Yunzhu didn't expect was that the Crown Prince Jun Xianhe actually lifted the ban and attended the event.
