Chapter 909: Tang Li, I want speace and quiet” (1/2)

By the time Mu Linger ran back, Fifth Elder was already coaxing Han Yunxi. “Princess, don’t let him sow discord!”

“Fifth Elder, since it’s Manager Jin sowing discord, then let’s not mention this again once we get back,” Han Yunxi instructed.

Mu Linger didn’t completely understand, but she didn’t dare to ask in public. Back at Myriad Merchant Hall, she waited until Fifth Elder was gone before telling Han Yunxi all about the fabricated letter and how Ning Cheng had used Manager Jin to keep Gu Qishao here while he went off on his own. Having long suspected as much, Han Yunxi only nodded.

“Han Yunxi, did Ning Cheng capture Bai Yanqing? Where is he? You better not let him off, he’s too wicked! Everyone in the world knows he’s loyal to West Qin, but who knew he’d do something like that?”

“Han Yunxi, why are you here? How did you injure your legs?”

“Han Yunxi, Ning Cheng’s--”

Han Yunxi cut Mu Linger off and told her everything. She was shocked and stared at her in disbelief, before stammering out, “Han Yunxi, you really have the gall? You love Long Feiye that much, huh…”

If she didn’t love him deeply, how could they yield on the basis of their national enmity? Or even give each other a chance? Han Yunxi didn’t speak. She couldn’t help but think that even if she hadn’t transmigrated here, she’d still love Long Feiye bravely as the true West Qin princess.

Aside from her shock, Mu Linger suddenly felt sad. If Qi gege knows the truth, he’ll be very depressed.

How much must she love Qi gege, to feel sad at the thought of him turning gloomy?

“Linger, I sent someone to Blacktower to look for Gu Qishao. Before he comes back, don’t run about and be careful,” Han Yunxi instructed.

“Alright!” Mu Linger nodded. She stood for awhile wanting to say more, but not knowing where to start. The two of them remained silent until she felt awkward and said, “Han Yunxi, it’s getting late. I’ll help you wash up and change your dressings. You should rest early. Who knows? Maybe Qi gege will be back by the time we wake up.”

Han Yunxi was in the middle of her thoughts when Mu Linger interrupted. She immediately refused. “No need. I have servant girls in my room and there’s still some things to do before I sleep. You should go rest first.”

She wanted to meet with Tang Li alone. Moreover, Manager Jin was supposed to come within two hours with the East Valley Private Bank’s account books. She couldn’t set her cares at rest until they were in her hands. Although the bank’s wealth couldn’t compare to the Di Clan, it was still a sizable sum. With this money, Myriad Merchant Hall would be in a better spot after the disasters at the auction and gambling houses.

Once I have this money, the other elders in Myriad Merchant Hall should more or less change their views about me. Only then can I start getting involved in the mess at the auction and gambling houses.

Her appointment with Long Feiye was in ten days’ time. She’d been lucky enough to grab the East Valley Private Bank on her first day, so this made Han Yunxi believe that she might not need to part from Long Feiye long after all.

If this was any other time, Mu Linger would definitely find an excuse to stay with Han Yunxi, but as she had something important to do, she quickly said her goodbyes. But instead of going to her rooms to rest, she made a beeline for East Origin Hall’s auction hall! A limitless gold card had no spending limits, but it had an expiration date all the same. Once the owner of the card lost everything and couldn’t return the costs, the card would be cancelled by the bank. Before Manager Jin lost it all, Mu Linger was going to spend money like water so he could taste the flavor of being kicked in the ass! See if he dared to join hands with Ning Cheng to house arrest her again.

By the time Mu Linger arrived at the East Origin Hall’s auction house, Han Yunxi had already entered Tang Li’s prison cell. He looked at her doubtfully in silence while Han Yunxi patiently wheeled herself inside.

“If you keep looking, see if I don’t tell your brother!” she said as she drew close.

“You...you…” Tang Li licked his lips before he finally managed, “What happened to your legs?”

“Broken, but they’re almost healed,” Han Yunxi was quite comforted by the fact that Tang Li had asked after her wellbeing first and foremost.

“Oh,” Tang Li said simply, before he asked, “Han Yunxi, don’t you hate my big brother?”

The head elder had told Ning Jing what happened to Ning Cheng when Tang Li was listening on the side. He wasn’t sure about anything else except the fact that his brother had stubbornly brought this woman to his side for protection now.

“Why should I hate him?” Han Yunxi rolled her eyes at him.

“You’re the West Qin princess and he’s the East Qin crown prince. You don’t hate him?” Tang Li asked.

“If he doesn’t hate me, why should I hate him?” Han Yunxi retorted.

“Can’t you hate him even if he doesn’t hate you?” Tang Li suddenly laughed out loud. “How simple.”

“It was simple from the start,” Han Yunxi retorted. “Do you think there’s anything complicated?”

Tang Li’s eyes flashed with bitterness before he changed the topic. “Han Yunxi, then what are you doing here now? The Di Clan would even let you here?”

“Will you believe what I say?” Han Yunxi asked.
