Wanjin Lady

Chapter 481 Cousin
Wen Wan coughed softly, "I'm a businessman, and business is business. If I teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince how to control the Marquis, what can His Royal Highness do to help me?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously did not expect that someone would dare to bargain with him. There were rumors in Kyoto that Huai'an Marquis Wei Zheng was deceived by a merchant girl from a remote village and had two children with her, but the two children almost did not have the surname Wei!
Rumors have been swirling in Kyoto these days, and dozens of versions of the rumor have been circulated.

Some say that Wenwan was as beautiful as a fairy, and Wei Zheng was bewitched at the first sight.

It is said that when Wei Zheng was investigating a case, his life was hanging by a thread when he encountered a villain and was saved by Wen Wan. In return for saving his life, Lord Wei pledged his life to her.

Some say that Wen Wan was originally a powerful demon in the mountains who had attained enlightenment and became a spirit, able to bewitch people's minds.

Even more outrageous is the story that Wen Wan paid a large sum of money to have a child, and Wei Houye helped her, but afterwards the two turned against each other and began to fight over the two children.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had overheard some gossip from the ladies at the Spring Banquet two days before, and he had been itching to go to Duke Wei's mansion to see Wei Zheng make a fool of himself. Later, when he saw Wei Zheng sitting in a wheelchair, he was so scared that he rode back to the palace in a flash.

He grew up with Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng was not only his cousin, but also the elder brother who raised him.

When he was a child, Wei Zheng often helped him in fights, but he also beat him up many times.

He always chooses places with few people to beat him up!

Bang bang, fists are hitting me!

The Queen Mother doesn't speak up for him!

Instead, they scolded him for being like a woman who fell down at the slightest push and for not having the integrity of his grandfather.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wronged! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in hiding! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seeks revenge!
"Cousin, if you want to leave, I can't help you. If I help you, I will definitely be punished too. I don't want to copy the Four Books and Five Classics anymore."

Ok.

Wen Wan finally noticed it.

This Crown Prince is nothing but a stupid and innocent male college student!

Still stupid!
Wen Wan grabbed the yellow paper on the table. It was densely covered with phrases from the "Nu Shu" (Women's Book), such as "Humility and Submission, Putting Others Before Yourself, and Explicit Kindness." She thrust it into the Crown Prince's hand, inspected it like a thief, and then whispered, "Your Highness, please pass this on to the Marquis and ask him to find some copyists for me. The Empress will be inspecting it in three days, and I really... can't copy anymore. Please, Your Highness, please deliver it a day in advance, otherwise I will lose my life."

The Crown Prince's hands were shaking, his face filled with astonishment. "How dare you cheat under our mother's nose?"

How can my cousin be so brave?!

He had been planning for ten years but never had the courage to do it, but his cousin's wife actually did it so easily?

She is indeed a woman who dares to leave the father and keep the son.

No wonder my cousin suffered such a big setback!
"Your Highness, this is wrong!" Wen Wan's voice sounded a little weak. "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. I'm not kidding. If you keep copying, I'll be nothing but a pile of bones."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded heavily, "I understand."

I remember when he was copying books, he tried everything from crying to making a fuss to threatening to commit suicide, but he just didn't dare to cheat.

It’s so powerful, no wonder we can sleep in the same bed.

"Cousin, I rarely admire others in my life. My cousin is one, and you are another." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rolled up the book Wen Wan copied and stuffed it into his sleeve. "You haven't told me how to control my cousin yet! Teach me quickly."

Wen Wan smiled and asked him, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the heir apparent to a country. Isn't it the easiest thing in the world to control your subjects?"

"To be honest..." His Royal Highness's cheeks flushed slightly, and he looked around like a thief, "I... I'm afraid of him. He has two faces!"

Wen Wan expressed her deep agreement.

"Your Highness, I second that." "He's so cunning. He acts all nice in public, but beats me up in private. When I told him I was the Crown Prince, he said he was worthy to be the Crown Prince's teacher and that beating me was for my own good."

It was a rare occasion for Wen Wan to have someone to chat with, so she grabbed some sunflower seeds from the table and started to chatter. "What did you do? Why did he hit you?"

"I...I..." It was obvious that the male college student knew what he was doing was not very honorable. "I just like watching operas. I invited a troupe to come and watch more than ten performances in a row. I wanted them to stay at my house... I even asked the old actor to tell me stories, but then there were rumors that I was having a homosexual relationship!"

"Ugh! Even if I wanted to have a relationship with someone, I would choose a handsome young man. Why would I choose such an old man? This is all slander!"

Wenwan held her forehead.

its not right!
Wei Zheng and Queen Wei both seem to be extremely smart people, so why is this Crown Prince so silly and cute?

It must be that the emperor's genes are not very good.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince likes to read storybooks?" Wen Wan showed a wicked smile. "Do you know what I do in Bozhou?"

"I don't know."

He only knew that Wen Wan was a merchant's daughter.

"I opened a restaurant and wrote the most beautiful book to attract customers. My restaurant was packed every day. The ladies and girls from Bozhou came to my restaurant every day to watch opera."

"What is a fanfic?"

"Following anime is... following a story." Wen Wan revealed her true intentions. "I have "The Legend of Jiao Jiao" and "The True and False Daughter", which have been rated as must-see and must-listen programs in Bozhou. Of course, -"

Wen Wan said slowly, "And that Rui Guo Juice! Listening to my play while drinking Rui Guo Juice is simply the best in the world!"

"Ruiguo syrup?" The male college student was stunned by Wen Wan's trickery. "What is it?"

Wen Wan had a disgusted expression as if saying, "You are the prince, how come you don't know this?"

"Rui fruit juice! A fashionable drink all over the noble ladies of Bozhou! Made from fruit, it's sour and sweet, and with some ice...it's so refreshing on this day! It's even been chosen as one of this year's tribute wines!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was obviously attracted. Wen Wan looked at the child and thought he was about fourteen or fifteen years old. He was not even a male college student, but at most a well-developed high school student.

Wen Wan, a profiteer who was determined to make a living even if trapped in the deep palace, bared her fangs at the minor and said, "Your Highness, do you know what's the difference between my Ruiguo Juice and other fruit wines?"

Although His Royal Highness's words were clear, he was not stupid. He blinked his big eyes at her and said, "Cousin, I suspect you are deliberately trying to trick me into promoting your Ruiguo pulp so that you can increase your winery's business..."

Gan.

This prince is not a fool!
Wen Wan scratched her face, "Is it obvious?"

His Royal Highness nodded heavily, "Yes, it's obvious."

"Your Highness, I am a little embarrassed by this."

"It's not embarrassing. If my cousin wants to do business, I will do my best to help her. Now that we are in Kyoto, I will naturally protect her. But..." His Royal Highness nodded, indicating the direction of the Queen, "My Queen Mother will never allow you to do business in public."

Wen Wan was stunned.

Wei Zheng never restricted her, so she had forgotten the crucial point. Merchants were of low status, and the Empress would never tolerate her running around for a few copper coins.

Wen Wan's face darkened. "Who knows. Perhaps I'm not even qualified to be the Crown Prince's cousin-in-law. There's no need to tie myself up in unnecessary trouble."
