Chapter 51
The next day, there was a sudden rumor in the capital.

"Have you heard? Gu Qingluo hooked up with the prince!"

"I heard! The crown prince intends to accept Gu Qingluo as his concubine!"

"Tsk, although Gu Qingluo was plotted by Prince Rui, she still has an unclean body and a big belly. What does the crown prince think?"

"That's right! I'm not afraid that Gu Qingluo will give birth to a wild species after entering the door, which will mess up the bloodline of the royal family."

"..."

Hearing these rumors, Mu Jinchen felt furious!

He just came to warn Mu Jinshu yesterday, but rumors have spread all over the place today, Mu Jinshu must have done it on purpose!

In order to get Gu Jiajun's support, did he even give up his dignity?

"My lord, the crown prince is fighting back." He Qinru said in a low voice.

Dressed in an unremarkable maid, even standing next to Mu Jinchen is inconspicuous.

"We can't let him detoxify successfully." Mu Jinchen clenched his fists, "Especially before this king wins Zhouji Buzhuang!"

He Qinru frowned, and asked, "Your Highness still wants Zhou Ji Bu Zhuang? The people we sent to snatch the contract that day all died in the hands of King Chen."

"If Prince Chen sympathizes with Gu Qingluo, a weak woman, this King Buzhuang won't worry about it. But the crown prince... this king will definitely take it!" Mu Jinchen snorted coldly, "Go, go to Zhou Ji!"

Zhouji Buzhuang was listed and announced to suspend business for rectification, and the door was closed.

Mu Jinchen kicked the door open and walked in swaggeringly: "Zhou Ke, get out!"

"Prince Rui? Why are you here?" Zhou Ke hurried out to greet the guests.

Mu Jinchen looked around arrogantly. Although the cloth house said it was being repaired, there was no change inside at all—it was still dilapidated!

"Where's Gu Qingluo?" Mu Jinchen asked, "Why doesn't she come to sit in the town?"

"My family honors the Lord, so you don't have to do everything yourself." Mr. Liu turned out from behind the curtain.

When Mu Jinchen saw his face, he was startled: "Mr. Liu Feng?"

"Hehe, it's a surprise that Prince Rui actually knows the old man." Mr. Liu stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhou Ke and He Qinru were stunned when they heard this.

"When did the old man enter Beijing?" Mu Jinchen asked enthusiastically.

"The former one came here to run Zhouji Cloth Village under the order of my family commander," Liu Feng said.

Mu Jinchen was in a bad mood, and asked, "When did the old man pay homage to Baimei Villa?"

"Three months ago." Liu Feng stroked his beard, "I haven't seen you for two years, Prince Rui is more energetic than before."

Mu Jinchen smiled dryly, and greeted Gu Qingluo eight hundred times in his heart!
Liu Feng is a hidden financial expert. He has visited the thatched cottage three times to ask him to come out of the mountain, but all failed.

Gu Qingluo invited him here easily!
He finally knew why Gu Qingluo had the confidence to run the cloth village well--if Liu Feng made a move, there would be no loss-making business!

"Prince Rui, the shop is resting and busy with business, so we won't accompany you." Liu Feng made a bow, and took Zhou Ke away.

In the huge store, only Mu Jinchen and his followers were left.

He Qinru whispered: "My lord, why don't you kill that old man?"

"No." Mu Jinchen shook his head, "He is very powerful, and the business circles call him a golden abacus. Most of the famous merchants in Dongzhou have received his favor. If this king touches him, he will be an enemy of the world."

"So serious?" He Qinru took out a Gu box, "Then give him a Gu box and let him work for us!"

"Stupid!" Mu Jinchen hastily pressed her Gu box back, "Gu Qingluo can ask Xuanyuanji to help find the mother Gu, and Liu Feng is the same!"

"Then what should we do? Are we going to watch Gu Qingluo grow up step by step and support the prince with money and troops?"

"of course not."

Mu Jinchen thought for a while and said, "This is the end of the matter, I will not hide it from you. There is a treasure hidden in Zhou Ji's cloth shop. As long as you find the treasure, you don't need this cloth shop..."

After confirming that there was no one in Buzhuang, Mu Jinchen took action immediately.

Just as he was doing it, Zhu Feng also took the secret letter from Liu Feng and reported it to Gu Qingluo: "My lord, you guessed right. Prince Rui wanted Buzhuang not only for business, he was looking for thing."

"Let him find it."

Gu Qingluo torched the secret letter, "He found it, so we don't have to look for it."

"Yes." Zhu Feng nodded, "But your lord, what will that treasure be?"

"I don't know, but it must be something more important than the cash cow." Gu Qingluo pondered, "Have you found out about the fire in Zhou Ji?"

"It has been found out that it was a servant of the Zhou family who set the fire, but his body was found in the river after the incident." Zhu Feng said.

"So, the clue is also broken?" Gu Qingluo frowned slightly.

In her previous life, she hadn't noticed this at all.Now that I think about it, Mu Jinchen's schemes are everywhere!
"Relax the Lord, our people are still investigating."

"It must be Mu Jinchen who set up a scheme to destroy the Zhou family for the sake of the baby. If I find the evidence, I will seek justice for the Zhou family."

"it is good!"

Zhu Feng was very happy when he thought that he could take care of Mu Jinchen.

If you can't perform the task, just play with the lord who abuses the scum!

"Miss Gu, Prince Lin is here."

Just then, the butler came to report.

Gu Qingluo looked at Zhu Feng in surprise: "You didn't bring my words with you?"

"Bring it." Zhu Feng was also surprised.

Ordinary people dare not easily visit the Chen Palace, Mu Jinran is quite courageous!

Picking such an opportunity to appear, he is not afraid of being beaten to death by Xuanyuanji!
"He didn't agree?"

"accepted."

The master and servant were depressed, and Mu Jinran stepped into the yard.

The edge of the silver satin brocade robe was trimmed with a ring of white fox fur, calling his delicate face noble.

But on a very cold day, he actually took the fan and shook it!

Looking very chic, Gu Qingluo seemed to feel a gust of cool wind blowing towards her face, and she shivered - cold for him!

"King Lin." Gu Qingluo stood up and couldn't help asking, "Are you cold?"

"This is a heating fan."

Mu Jinran smiled slightly, and showed Gu Qingluo the newly acquired fan.

It turns out that there is a lot of content in the fan. The seemingly thin silk cloth is sandwiched with a layer of firebird fluff. The wind from the fan is warm!
In this icy and snowy winter, it is simply a warming artifact.

"It's amazing." It was the first time Gu Qingluo saw a fan that could fan hot air, and it was very novel.

Mu Jinran generously handed the fan to her: "I'll send you to play!"

"A gentleman doesn't take what others like." Gu Qingluo refused—even though she wanted it very much!
"I still have one at home, this one is for you." Mu Jinran smiled.

It was rare for Gu Qingluo to have something she liked, so she accepted it: "Thank you!"

"You and I, you don't have to be polite." Mu Jinran sneered, sat down and asked, "But, what you asked me to do yesterday, do I still have to do it?"

"Of course." Gu Qingluo said sternly, "Xuanyuanji has a bad temper. If people continue to spread the news about me and him, he will definitely be angry."

"However, there are already rumors outside." Mu Jinran said, "Now everyone is saying that the prince has a crush on you and wants to take you as a concubine."
