Chapter 13 Can't See Through Her
Chapter 13 Can’t see through her
Qingyue looked at Wen Moyan in confusion and repeated: "Gambling house?"
Wen Moyan nodded and said: "Uh...yes, it's the one opened by His Royal Highness, the largest gambling house in the capital."
Qingyue thought for a while and responded: "The Sihai Gambling House is on Xuanwu Street. It is indeed the largest in the capital, but it is not the property of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the property of the fourth son of the Wu family, the Wu Xuanye you have seen today. Three
The young lady asked what the gambling shop does? There is a mixed crowd there, so it would be better for the third lady not to go there."
Wen Moyan laughed dryly: "Yes, yes, you're right, I'm just curious to inquire about it, and I won't go. I won't see you off if I go slowly!"
Qingyue was confused, but did not continue to ask, and left with the carriage.
Wen Moyan stood there, looking at the carriage that was getting further away, and murmured: "Shuang Feichen, you are so smart, you should know it right away..."
"Miss, what are you talking about?" Taozhi came up and asked.
Wen Moyan shook his head slightly and said: "Nothing, let's go and kneel as punishment!"
——
Prince Qin's Mansion.
When Qingyue returned, Shuang Feichen and Shuang Yuanxing were playing chess.
Seeing Qingyue coming back, Shuang Feichen asked: "Did you bring the futon in?"
Qingyue nodded in response: "Replying to the prince, the prince is really good at predicting events. The third lady was indeed punished to kneel in the courtyard."
It turns out that the futon was given by Shuang Feichen.
The undecided Shuang Yuanxing asked doubtfully: "Seventh brother, since you know that Wen Moyan will be punished if she goes back, why let her go? Wouldn't it be better to keep her here?"
Shuang Feichen did not raise his head, but looked at the chessboard calmly, and responded: "If you keep her by your side, you will never see her true appearance."
Shuang Yuanxing blinked and asked, "What do you mean, Brother Qi, is this girl always acting with us?"
Shuang Feichen picked up a sunspot and did not drop it. Instead, he looked up at Shuang Yuanxing and said firmly: "I can't see through her."
"Ah?" Shuang Yuanxing was a little surprised: "Is there anyone else whom Brother Qi can't see through?"
Shuang Feichen put Heizi down and sighed: "She is a little strange."
"What's strange? Shuang Yuanxing asked.
Shuang Feichen responded: "She spoke very flatteringly to me, but her demeanor and behavior were very resistant. I asked her if she wanted to marry, and her answer was yes, but her eyes...rejected."
Shuang Yuanxing curled his lips, threw the white chess piece in his hand into the chess box, and said, "What's weird about this? Just play hard to get!"
Shuang Feichen thought for a while and shook his head: "No, she is not!"
Shuang Feichen said no twice in a row, obviously very sure of his judgment.
Shuang Yuanxing also believed in Shuang Feichen. He thought for a while and asked: "Since she is so inconsistent with her words, what is the reason? Is it possible that someone forced her to crawl into bed? Someone forced her to marry into Prince Qin's palace? Who is it?
Her father, Wen Changshan? Or her second uncle, Wen Changfeng?"
Shuang Feichen thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "None of them. If I guess correctly, maybe it's...the prince."
"Prince?" Shuang Yuanxing was a little surprised, but he was only surprised for a moment before he understood the powerful relationship.
Shuang Yuanxing's face darkened and he said, "Seventh brother means that the person Wen Moyan likes is the prince, and the prince used her feelings to place her in the seventh brother's backyard? Is he a pawn of the prince?"
Shuang Feichen felt that this theory was the most likely, but when he thought of Wen Moyan's slightly stubborn fox eyes, he felt that she did not seem like someone who would be driven by a fool like the prince.
Shuang Feichen said: "I will investigate Wen Moyan's matter myself. Since Wu Xuanye explained that there is something strange about the salt affairs in the city, you might as well go to Mingzhou."
Shuang Yuanxing responded: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in one month, so I'd better leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I can just go and collect the taxes for the third quarter!"
Shuang Feichen nodded and did not refuse.
After the two of them finished talking, they found Qingyue still standing in the room.
Shuang Feichen asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else?"
Qingyue nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the third lady asked a very strange question just after she got off the carriage."
"What did she ask?" Shuang Feichen asked.
Qingyue replied: "She asked my subordinates, where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Sihai Gambling House?"
"What? Sihai Gambling House?" Shuang Yuanxing interjected in surprise: "Sihai Gambling House is opened by Xuanye, what does it have to do with the prince?"
Qingyue nodded and said: "Yes, this is what my subordinate replied to the third lady. The third lady said that she was just curious and would not go alone."
Shuang Yuanxing scratched his head in confusion: "This girl is really weird. She comes from a girl's house. I asked about the gambling shop. Is it possible that she wants to gamble?"
Shuang Yuanxing looked at Shuang Feichen, wanting to hear his opinion, but found that Shuang Feichen's face became a little gloomy.
Shuang Yuanxing became nervous when he saw this, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Qi, is there something wrong?"
Shuang Feichen did not answer, but had a guess in his mind.
He looked at Shuang Yuanxing and said, "Zi Han, do Wu Xuanye have any contact with the prince?"
Shuang Yuanxing was startled for a moment, then frowned and said: "Brother Qi, do you doubt Xuanye? This is impossible! Xuanye and I grew up together, and he has no intention of an official career and only focuses on business. It is impossible for him to collude with the prince.
.Besides, Prime Minister Wu has never supported the prince in court. On the contrary, among our nine brothers, Prime Minister Wu has always favored you, seventh brother!"
Shuang Feichen clenched his fists and felt that Shuang Yuanxing was right.
Wu Xuanye was Shuang Yuanxing's companion. He grew up with them and had a very deep relationship with them.
When he was young, Wu Xuanye saved Shuang Yuanxing's life, but I never heard that he had any interaction with the prince!
But... in other words, if Wu Xuanye really belongs to the prince, then it would be too dangerous for him to stay with Shuang Yuanxing.
The message he handed to Shuang Yuanxing was probably also a trap.
Seeing Shuang Feichen's wary look, Shuang Yuanxing hurriedly said: "Brother Qi, if you don't believe in Xuanye, don't you believe in me? He will definitely not be the prince's."
Speculation without evidence is false accusation.
Shuang Feichen calmed down and spoke to reassure: "Okay, I know this matter well. You should go back and rest first."
Shuang Yuanxing nodded, said goodbye and left.
After Shuang Yuanxing left, Shuang Feichen did not feel sleepy, but said: "Qinglan, go and check the Sihai Gambling House, remember not to alert the snake, and don't let the King of Xiang know. Qingyue, go to General Pingrong.
Mansion, keep an eye on Wen Moyan’s every move!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two guards took the order and left...
