The personal maid on the side saw the bracelet in the box and immediately exclaimed.

"Miss, how did Prince Zhou know that you like bracelets, and it's the style that Miss likes."

Mo Xun stared at the bracelet in the box for a while, then closed the box.

"Put it away."

I have no intention of wearing it at all.

"Miss, Prince Zhou gave this to you, don't you plan to wear it?
If Prince Zhou sees you next time and doesn't see a bracelet on your hand, will he be disappointed? "

Mo Xun glanced sideways at his maid.

"Have you forgotten that your young lady is the one who wants to break off the engagement with Crown Prince Zhou?"

Lancao was stunned!
Today, the young lady went to the lake with Prince Zhou. Looking at the appearance of the two of them, she really forgot that her young lady was planning to break off the engagement.

"But Miss, I think Prince Zhou is quite good. He is a good man and he is still a prince. You are also considerate to the lady. I have never seen a person who is more considerate to the lady than Prince Zhou."

"What! Are you attracted to him?"

Lancao waved her hands hurriedly.

"Miss! What's the matter? From now on, this slave is determined to be the first person around the lady, not to be my uncle's aunt."

Mo Xun looked back without comment. It didn't matter whether she believed it or not. The most important thing was what Lan Cao would do in the future.

Seeing that his lady was not talking, Lancao confirmed that she really didn't want to wear the bracelet, so he put the bracelet into the lady's jewelry box.

Zhou Yan's brows were furrowed when he returned to his house, and he happened to be seen by Zhou Yu who was passing by.

Zhou Yu had already taken a few steps forward after saying hello, but then fell back.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go swimming in the lake with Mo Xun? Why do you look like this?"

"Sister, are you sure that the second girl from the Mo family doesn't have a sweetheart?"

"Of course, she told me this herself."

"But today the second girl of the Mo family told me that she has someone in mind and asked me to go to her house to cancel the engagement."

"This is impossible. She really has something to say to her. When I asked her that day, she couldn't possibly lie to me."

Although she didn't know the people she brought out well enough, if she was being lied to, she would never be able to escape her eyes.

The two brothers and sisters were walking in the garden, and then they randomly found a stone bench nearby and sat down.

When Ye'er saw him, he quickly went to make some tea.

"Brother, please tell me in detail what happened to Mo Xun today and what you said. I will help you analyze it first."

Zhou Yan didn't say much after hearing this, and told all the details after meeting Mo Xun today.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu understood the crux of the matter. This was not Mo looking for the person she wanted. This was clearly an excuse made by her elder brother who didn't like her.

The main reason is that her eldest brother is not strong enough. If his eldest brother was charming enough and fascinated the little girl, why would things like this happen now? But after hearing this, Zhou Yu didn't think it was a difficult matter. Anyway, her eldest brother had already told Mo Xun to let her lover come to him.

She thought that Mo Xun would not let Mo Xun do anything wrong when she came to the Mo family. She believed that as long as Mo Xun married her eldest brother, she would definitely like her eldest brother after getting to know her eldest brother deeply. It doesn't matter if she doesn't like him now, as long as she doesn't It's okay to reject her eldest brother, and it's fine to get married first and fall in love later.

"Brother, didn't you say that you should wait until Mo Xun's lover comes to you? If no one comes to you when you get married, you should marry her, right? What's the big deal?"

When Zhou Yan heard his sister say something so simple, he had to doubt his life-long affairs. Maybe it was just like playing house in his sister's mind.

Seeing his eldest brother's look of disbelief in her, Zhou Yu glared.

"What's that look in your eyes? I'm doing it for your own good. Don't worry. Your wife can't run away. She must have made random excuses when she told you she was interested in someone. The most important thing is that she doesn't like you."

Zhou Yan was stunned. In fact, he didn't like Miss Mo Er or not. He just looked at her and found her pleasing to the eye, so he selected her as his wife. If he really liked her, he couldn't talk about it.

But now Miss Mo Er wants to break off the engagement because she doesn't like him. Is it really that important whether she likes him or not? Being a couple doesn't just need to be suitable.

Looking at her eldest brother's expression, Zhou Yu knew what he was thinking, but this was a thought that had been ingrained for twenty-one years. Most people here must have the same thoughts as her eldest brother.

She felt that she didn't have the ability to make others act according to her ideas, so Zhou Yu didn't say much.

"Okay, just feel free to be your groom. The bride will not run away."

Although Zhou Yu was full of words, when he returned to his room, he inevitably felt a little lack of confidence.

She thought that after settling the second brother's matter, she would have Su Da and Su Lu take turns to watch outside Mo's house. Zhou Yu felt it was necessary to prevent that girl Mo Xun from running away from her marriage.

That girl's personality is not like the people here, and she doesn't know how she got such a temper.

After two days in a row, the person who went to inquire about the news finally came back.

"Your Majesty, my dear, we have already found out clearly that the courtesan that Cao Yue likes is Peony, the newly promoted courtean from Wanhua House. She comes from the south of the Yangtze River. Not only is she beautiful and fragrant, but she can also sing well. With a Jiangnan tune in her voice, people who go to Wanhua Tower admire this oiran lady very much.

But since more than a month ago, this Peony has stopped coming out to receive guests. It is said that he was kept by a mysterious person. After asking the children, they found out that that person was Cao Yue, the grandson of Mr. Cao Ge.

Zhou Yu had an impression of Wanhua Tower. The secret passage exit was found inside Wanhua Tower. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Wanhua Tower to open in full swing. Sure enough, it was different with a backer behind it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu turned to look at Zhou Yan aside.

"Is the Cao Mansion very rich?"

Zhou Yan nodded.

"The Cao Mansion is indeed quite wealthy. Mrs. Cao, the wife of Mr. Cao Ge, is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. When Mrs. Cao married Mr. Cao Ge, she came with a ten-mile red dowry.

Moreover, Mrs. Cao is very good at running the shop. After so many years of operation, the Cao family's wealth has doubled several times in her hands.

Mrs. Cao was particularly fond of Cao Yue, her eldest grandson. Cao Yue almost always responded to Mrs. Cao's requests. It was not unusual for him to have the money to buy Peony, the oiran of Wanhua House. "

This matter is not a secret in Kyoto City, Zhou Yan naturally knows it.

After listening to his elder brother's explanation, Zhou Yu looked at Su Da who was waiting.

"The financial backer behind Peony is Cao Yue. Not many people know about this, so how did you find out?"
