Chapter 40: Finding the Weakness
The madam's face was wrinkled, but she smiled like a flower. She said loudly, "Mr. An's bid is 20,000 taels. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?"
After calling out two or three more times, no one bid again. Finally, the madam announced that An Wenyuan had won Shen Biqian's first night.
Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, An Wenyuan went to Chen Biqian's room.
Nie Chubai finally took his eyes off Wen Yingxue, glanced at An Wenyuan and Shen Biqian's backs, and asked Wen Yingxue, "What should we do now? Should we go out and wait, or wait here?"
Wen Yingxue thought about the hungry girls outside and decided to go out and wait.
Hao Wanlin was still clinging to the window, biting his sleeve and looking at Chen Biqian's back. Wen Yingxue called him several times before he slowly turned around.
"If you are so reluctant to part with Chen Biqian, why don't you join the bidding?" Wen Yingxue asked, seeing that he looked wilted and helpless.
Nie Chubai sneered. Wen Yingxue turned to look at him. Nie Chubai said nothing, but only glanced at Hao Wanlin with disdain.
Hao Wanlin sniffed and said dejectedly, "I don't have any money! My mother gave me five taels of silver when I went shopping today."
Wen Yingxue approached Nie Chubai and asked, "Is his mother so strict with him? She only gives him five taels of silver for just going out for a stroll?"
Wu Nan answered the question for Nie Chubai: "Deputy Envoy Hao's brain is not very good. Madam Hao is afraid that he will be cheated again, so she strictly controls his money."
Looking at the silly Hao Wanlin, Wen Yingxue said "oh" and gave Mrs. Hao a thumbs up in her heart. This guy really needs to be taken care of, otherwise it will be very annoying.
Nie Chubai made an impatient click of his tongue and pulled Wen Yingxue away. Just as Hao Wanlin was about to follow, he was dragged away by Wu Nan.
"Hey! What are you doing? Aren't you going with the General's wife?"
"What are you doing? They're a couple who came over for dinner, and not only did you disrupt their meal, but now they want to be alone for a while, and why are you coming in?"
"Oh? Really?"
"Yeah, shut up! Go away."
After leaving Fengming Courtyard, the four were surrounded again, but only Wu Nan and Hao Wanlin suffered again.
Because Nie Chubai was too bothered, he put on a cold face, picked up Wen Yingxue and walked away.
"Oh! What a pity!"
"That's right, two such good-looking young men are actually gay!"
"Ouch! My heart is broken."
Hao Wanlin watched Nie Chubai and Wen Yingxue go out so simply, and his eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Wu Nan beside him.
Wu Nan shuddered suddenly, feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Then, Hao Wanlin picked him up by the waist.
"You idiot! What are you doing?" Wu Nan shouted.
Hao Wanlin hissed and said, "Look, the general and his wife went out like this. Be good and don't move. Let's go out like this too."
"Then why am I not holding you, but you holding me?" Wu Nan continued to struggle and shout.
Hao Wanlin said dissatisfiedly: "Look at how thin you are. You're almost as thin as a bamboo pole. Can you hold me up?"
When Wu Nan heard this, he immediately struggled again, but Hao Wanlin had already rushed out holding him.
On the second floor of the restaurant opposite Fengmingyuan, Wen Yingxue watched Hao Wanlin carry Wu Nan out in his arms like a princess. Her eyes widened and she pulled Nie Chubai's clothes.
Nie Chubai looked down and his eyes instantly became complicated.
Wu Nan was so angry that he punched Hao Wanlin and knocked him unconscious. Then he ignored him and went upstairs angrily.
Nie Chubai looked at Wu Nan for a long time and said, "If you two are sincere, I have no objection."
"Master! What are you talking about? You've known that idiot has abnormal brain circuits for a long time. It's impossible for me to like anyone." Wu Nan was so angry that his face turned red. He said a lot of words without taking a breath.
After saying that, Wu Nan went downstairs angrily again, dragged the still unconscious Hao Wanlin to a small alley, and beat him up again.
"Tsk tsk! Wu Nan has such a bad temper." Wen Yingxue sighed.
When Wu Nansa came back in a rage, Ji Yan had already returned with An Wenyuan.
"General Nie, why did you capture me?" An Wenyuan frowned and looked at Nie Chubai and the others, but he remained calm.
Nie Chubai didn't waste time talking to An Wenyuan and said directly: "Hand over the map of the Eagle King's Tomb."
An Wenyuan paused fanning himself, staring intently at Nie Chubai. He smiled and said, "What map of the Eagle King's Tomb? I don't know what General Nie is talking about."
Wen Yingxue nudged Nie Chubai and said to him, "You two go out first. I'll talk to him."
Nie Chubai frowned and asked, "Should I go out too?"
Wen Yingxue nodded. Nie Chubai was a little unhappy, but he couldn't disobey what Wen Yingxue said, so he had to leave with a gloomy face.
An Wenyuan watched the scene silently, his eyes full of scrutiny when he looked at Wen Yingxue.
Wen Yingxue poured a cup of tea and handed it to An Wenyuan, saying, "Mr. An, please drink."
An Wenyuan asked Wen Yingxue, "Miss Wen, there's no need for tea. Please tell me what you want to say. I want to go back early."
Wen Yingxue nodded, then looked at An Wenyuan's face seriously and said, "Mr. An, you don't know, but I know astronomy and gossip, and I can predict fortune and destiny. Mr. An's future is extremely tragic."
An Wenyuan was stunned. He had never expected Wen Yingxue to tell him this. He smiled and said, "I didn't know Miss Wen had such a talent. But I don't believe in fate. Goodbye."
Wen Yingxue picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and said calmly, "Prince Xiao holds the tiger talisman and commands a million-strong army. After the Fifth Prince ascended the throne, do you think he trusts Prince Xiao?"
If he is worried, what should he do? "
When An Wenyuan heard Wen Yingxue's words, he immediately stopped, turned around and looked at Wen Yingxue.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that Master An is cursed by the Peach Blossom Curse. If this Peach Blossom Curse is not broken, not only will Master An die, but the beautiful woman will also die with him."
An Wenyuan's expression finally changed. He grabbed Wen Yingxue's neck, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Wen Yingxue pushed An Wenyuan's hand away and frowned. The people in this book are all sick and they always pinch each other's necks.
"Master An is so smart, he will definitely figure it out. The emperor is afraid that his subjects will raise troops to rebel, so he must pinch his subjects' weaknesses. And Prince Xiao's weakness is obvious, and that is Princess Biyun."
An Wenyuan clenched his fists, pursed his lips and listened to Wen Yingxue's words without saying a word.
"Then, is there any way to completely grasp Prince Xiao's weakness? The only way is to marry Princess Biyun."
Every time Wen Yingxue said something, An Wenyuan's face darkened. By the end, it was completely livid. He slumped down on the stool, his face looking extremely grim.
"Did you really figure that out?"
Wen Yingxue smiled: "You have followed the Fifth Prince for so long, you should know his temperament better than I do."
