Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Mu Qingli narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "Brother, you've been attending court for a while now, so you must have some understanding of the princes. I wonder which one you think is more suitable for which position?"

At this time, the maids in the room had already packed up and left, allowing the two masters to talk in peace, so she asked questions more directly.

Unexpectedly, Ali would suddenly ask these questions. Mu Fushu looked at her and thought about it carefully before answering her.

"Your Majesty, the only adults currently around you are the First Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Seventh Prince. I've paid close attention to them over the past few years, but currently, the Third Prince, born to Concubine An, is the most favored."

"Brother, do you know who Shi Pei, the Second Rank General of Chariots and Cavalry, is? Or guess who would have held this position if the Gu family and I hadn't intervened?"

Mu Qingli's eyes were slightly cold but soon melted like spring. I don't know what he was thinking about, but there was a hint of subtle malice in his eyes.

It’s a pity that this time she will make him understand what it means to try to catch the moon - all in vain!

Mu Fushu didn't understand what was going on and subconsciously stared at his sister. The next second, he heard the girl utter a name in a deliberately low voice but very clearly.

His expression changed almost instantly, and the shock in his eyes was obvious.

.....

What happened in the court was not a secret at all and the news soon spread out, including the news of the Yunzhou flood, but none of this reached the ears of the people.

But no one knew that when the Minister of War Zhou Yuanzhi returned to his residence, he went straight into the study, waved away the servants, and took out a letter from his pocket.

If Old Master Gu saw this letter at this moment, he would certainly be shocked, because the letter was almost exactly the same as the one he received, even the strange patterns casually drawn on the envelope were so similar.

With a sullen face, he quickly burned the letter and quietly entered the secret room of the study.

As he expected, there was another figure in the secret room of the study. The wide robe completely concealed the other person's figure and face. He even wore a mask on his face, so even his eyes could not be seen clearly.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that the man's face was still as ugly as before, and he almost spoke with a dark face and gritted teeth.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The man in black looked at him calmly and sneered, his voice a little hoarse and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

"Why are you so nervous, Lord Zhou? You should know we mean no harm. Otherwise, the evidence of your wife lending money at high interest to foreign merchants should be on your majesty's desk by now.

We just asked you to help submit a memorial. Even if you don't want to help, there are still others who can help. Shouldn't you be thankful?"

However, this gentleman does have a close friend living in Yunzhou, so it is most reasonable for him to send a message from there to reveal the news to him. After all, Zhou Yuanzhi made a lot of money in this business.

Zhou Yuanzhi naturally knew this very well, otherwise he would have called for help long ago.

His eyes flickered and he was silent for a moment before he spoke, "You said before that if I submitted the memorial for you, you would hand over the evidence to me. If you dare to lie to me, no matter who you are, I will pursue you to the end."

"Don't worry, Master Zhou. We are the most honest people. The evidence you requested is right here. However, your wife dared to lend money at high interest rates, which harmed the people and must be punished. Therefore, we can only refund you half of the total amount.

In addition, I can give you a piece of evidence for free, so that you can clearly understand who secretly guided your wife to lend money at high interest and cooperate with foreign merchants. However, it is up to you whether to believe it or not."

The man in black tilted his head slightly, smiled, took out a box from his sleeve and placed it casually on the table. He then deliberately stepped back a few steps and made a gesture of "please look" for him to check.

Zhou Yuanzhi was not a fool and he immediately heard that there was something else going on. He frowned and asked subconsciously.

"Are you saying someone is targeting my family? They're deliberately trying to lure my wife into lending money?"

The man in black didn't say anything else. He turned around and left with a sneer, and soon disappeared from his sight.

Zhou Yuanzhi subconsciously chased after him, but there was no one outside the secret room. A look of surprise instantly appeared in his eyes.

The opponent's lightness skill is so strange and fast, no wonder he can enter his house as if he were alone!

Since he couldn't catch anyone, he simply entered the secret room again and opened the box after only a moment's hesitation.

Just as the man in black had said, there were only three things in the box:

A piece of evidence against him, a stack of banknotes and a piece of paper which detailed the names and whereabouts of all the people his wife had come into contact with since she decided to lend money at high interest.

Zhou Yuanzhi flipped through the pages quickly, but his expression grew uglier the more he read. In the end, he almost uttered a few words through gritted teeth.

"It turned out to be him!"

The man in black had quickly left Zhou's house, turned into a nearby alley in a few seconds, changed his clothes skillfully, and then walked out in a swagger, starting to wander around.

Such a small matter is actually worth his intervention. The master is really too cautious.

......

Fang Jiale knew that her father-in-law and husband had donated five years' salary and she also agreed. After all, the family still had some other properties and savings, so even if they didn't use the salary, they would not starve. After all, there were people who needed food more than they did.

Instead, she discussed other things with her husband. "I heard from Sister Qin that her grain shop started buying grain in large quantities a few days ago. I guess it's also to help the victims. I want to help when the time comes."

Old Master Gu had already walked back to his yard slowly on his crutches, leaving the couple some space to talk.

"Isn't all the family money with you? Just do whatever you want without worrying about the family."

Gu Chengjin knew what she was worried about, so he smiled and took her into his arms to comfort her. He also mentioned to her that he would propose to her later.

Fang Jiale thought about it and nodded, his tone casual.

"That would be best, but I still have to talk to Sister Qin privately, otherwise postponing the engagement will easily lead to her misunderstanding."

"Well, since you two are both close friends and future in-laws, it would be more appropriate for you to say that. Where's Heng'er? Why didn't I see him when I came back?"

Gu Chengjin looked at his wife with tender eyes and asked curiously, "Who knows?" Then he saw his wife couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

"Who knows? The concierge handed him a letter and he left in a hurry. It's almost the autumn exam anyway, so it's good for him to go out and relax."

Gu Chengjin also smiled but said nothing. The couple left together, and the sound of their conversation gradually dissipated in the wind.

Little did they know that at this time Gu Luoheng had already hurried into Baibao Tower and went straight to the last tea room on the third floor.

The people in the room had been waiting for a while and were drinking tea slowly. As soon as they saw him, they stood up and raised their hands to salute with a respectful attitude.

"It's been many years since we last met, and Master Gu is still as elegant as ever. Your servant Qilan asks Master Gu how he is on behalf of the young lady."
