Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 389 Gifts and the Gu Family Visit

After hearing this, Luo Zishang smiled and clapped his hands. Then a person came in from outside the door. When Liu Changfeng saw the person coming, he was somewhat surprised, because the person who came was none other than Xifeng.

"My humble daughter Xifeng is here to greet His Majesty." After Xifeng came in, she stepped forward and saluted.
"Hmm? Minister Luo, what do you mean?" Liu Changfeng asked directly
"My Lord, Xifeng is the gift I gave you. Are you satisfied?" Luo Zishang said

"What? You said you wanted to give Lady Xifeng to me? Minister Luo, please don't joke with me like this. This is not funny." Liu Changfeng shook his head.

"Your Highness, how dare I joke with you about this matter? I really intend to give Xifeng to Your Highness, and I hope Your Highness will accept it." Luo Zishang said with a smile

"Well, Minister Luo, why are you doing this? I know a little bit about your methods, but you are using them in the wrong place. You should go find my eldest brother." Liu Changfeng said

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's family is now full of beautiful women. I like peace and quiet, so I won't join in the fun. As for your concerns, Your Highness, I understand them."

"But I don't think you need to worry, Your Majesty. After all, you don't have a chance now, right? Even if there is a chance, it will be many years later." Luo Zishang said

"Minister Luo, if you say that, I will not understand you any more. What do you like about me? My brothers all have a better chance than me."

"If you send someone here at this time, won't you be blocking your own chance? So what exactly are you trying to achieve?" Liu Changfeng asked directly
"Your Highness, what I want is actually very simple. After all, I made mistakes before. Although I am now an assistant minister, some things are done and people will still be wary of them."

"So I need to find a backer in the court. If I choose the other princes, it will definitely make His Majesty more wary of me."

"So I can only come to you, Your Highness, because you have no chance now. I don't expect any merits from following the dragon now. I just want to save my life." Luo Zishang said

"Haha, Minister Luo, I am not completely unaware of what you are asking for, but it doesn't matter, you also have what I need."

"From now on, I want a copy of your intelligence. This is the price you have to pay. Remember, if I find out that the intelligence is wrong, then our cooperation will end." Liu Changfeng said

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will not let you down." Luo Zishang said hurriedly.

Luo Zishang left, but he left alone, leaving Xifeng behind.

Liu Changfeng did not rush to touch her, but sent someone to settle her down, and then returned to the room. When he came back, he found that his backyard was on fire.

"Hey, Madam, what's wrong? Who made you angry? Tell me quickly, I will help you vent your anger. If you dare to make my Madam angry, just wait and see how I will deal with her." Liu Changfeng said

"Husband, you still said, it's you, it's you, did you take a woman into your house, and that woman is Xifeng from Lanxiaofang?" Ye Yun asked directly

"Madam, you are so cute when you are jealous. Okay, okay, Madam, this Xifeng is just a cooperation between Luo Zishang and me. I accepted it to make him feel at ease." Liu Changfeng said

"Who knows if it's true? People don't dare to believe you now." Ye Yun said unhappily.
"Oh, Madam, good Madam, how about this? From now on, you have the final say on all matters concerning Xifeng. I promise I will never ask about it. Will this calm you down?"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll be sad if you get sick from anger." Liu Changfeng said

"Humph, this is what you said, you are not allowed to lie to me. If you lie to me, I will never talk to you again." Ye Yun pouted.
"Okay, okay, I promise, what I just said is true. Okay, ma'am, don't be angry. Let's go out for a walk, let's go out for a walk." Liu Changfeng said with a smile

After all, Ye Yun was a lady from a wealthy family, and she knew her limits, so she agreed. After all, her status was different now, and she also had to change her temperament.

And Liu Changfeng actually still enjoys this feeling. After all, what man doesn't like women to be jealous of him?

So he didn't think there was anything wrong with his wife. Instead, he was very happy.

At the same time, the Gu family was in a dilemma.

"Madam, do you think we should go and pay a visit to His Royal Highness Prince Chuan?" Gu Langhua asked

"Of course I'm going, husband, didn't we just agree on this?" Jiang Rou said
"Madam, I am worried that it might backfire. After all, our family is not only about the princess, but also has a relationship with King Liang."

"Our family's identity is very embarrassing. If the prince doesn't want to see us, then we will be exposed. After all, we can live so comfortably now."

"It's all because they can't figure out our relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Chuan. If we're rejected this time, it will all be over. So this is not what I'm doing, this is not what I'm doing?" Gu Langhua said

"Haha, that's enough, that's enough, my husband, you can't just think about the present. Don't you want to think about the future? Don't you want to think about our relationship with His Highness?"

"If you don't even pay a visit, won't you be exposed faster?" Jiang Rou said
Gu Langhua reacted when he heard it. Yes, if he didn’t go at all, wouldn’t he be more exposed?

"So, my husband, don't think too much. Just visit him normally. I believe His Highness will see us. Even if he doesn't see anything else, he won't reject us." Jiang Rou said
"Madam, you are right, but should we go alone? Or should we take our son with us?" Gu Langhua said

"Of course we have to take him with us. His current status is very embarrassing. If he doesn't have a backer, won't he be bullied to death?"

"If he can gain the appreciation of His Royal Highness Prince Chuan this time, then everything will be fine. We won't have to worry about him in the future. Even if he doesn't, we can still make him a familiar face." Jiang Rou said
"Okay, then I'll go talk to Jiusi now and ask him to get ready. We'll go tomorrow." After hearing this, Gu Langhua confirmed it immediately and got up and left.

Seeing her husband's anxious look, Jiang Rou showed a smile on her face, but it was quickly replaced by worry. After all, she was not sure what Prince Chuan was thinking.

If they were really rejected at that time, it would be a disaster for their family.

But they had to go. After all, there were many things that were not within their control. Their lives were always in the hands of others and they had no say in the matter.

"Gu Langhua, what did you say? Go to Prince Chuan's Mansion? No, no, if you want to go, go by yourself. I won't go. What are you thinking about going to Prince Chuan's Mansion at this time?" Gu Jiusi said
"Hey, you little brat, am I too indulgent towards you? Do you think I'm really discussing this with you? I'm telling you, you have to go today whether you want to or not!" Gu Langhua said

"No, Dad, you can't do this. You can't force me." Gu Jiusi said
"I forced you. I forced you. What can you do about it? Tell me what you can do about it. I don't have time to waste with you."

"Remember. Pack up and we'll leave together tomorrow." Gu Langhua said and left. Looking at his father's back, Gu Jiusi felt depressed. He was actually very smart and knew why his parents did this.

Although he knew it, he was still unwilling in his heart. After all, he didn't want to face Liu Changfeng at all. That was the reason why he was living such a miserable life now.

In fact, it can be said that it was all thanks to Liu Changfeng, so why would he want to see him?

For him, many things don't have to be done a certain way, but he just doesn't want to. Now it seems that his so-called persistence is nothing but a joke.

He had to go eventually to meet his enemy, but at this time, Gu Langhua had no idea what his son was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely punish him according to the family rules.

After all, if you can't even stand this little bit of injustice, then just go ahead and die, so as not to burden your family. How can you not suffer injustice in this world?

"My dear, you are back. How is it going? Did Jiusi agree to go?" Jiang Rou asked softly.

"Madam, don't worry. I've already gone there, so it's not up to him to decide whether to agree or not." Gu Langhua said

Jiang Rou understood what was going on as soon as she heard it, but she didn't say much. After all, she knew her son's character very well, and sometimes talking nicely just didn't work.

She could only force him to do it, even though he might not understand, but she believed he would understand in the future.

Time soon came to the third day. Gu Langhua and his wife, with the reluctant Gu Jiusi, got on the carriage and went directly to the Prince of Chuan's Mansion.

When Liu Changfeng learned that the three members of the Gu family had arrived, he stood directly at the door of the front hall to greet them. When Gu Langhua and his wife saw them, they hurried forward to greet them.

"Your Majesty, you are really embarrassing us. How can we do this?" Gu Langhua said

"Okay, Master Gu, the relationship between you and me is not comparable to that of others. That sum of money helped me a lot. It can be said that if there was no such money."

"I wouldn't have the status I have today, so please don't be polite to me. If you are too polite, it will be too formal." Liu Changfeng said with a smile

After hearing this, Gu Langhua naturally didn't dare to say anything. After all, his status was different now. People could say that to show that they didn't forget their roots, but they couldn't take it seriously.

If they had taken it seriously, they would be close to death, so the following event was a great success for both the host and the guests.

"Your Highness, we came to visit you this time, firstly to congratulate you, and secondly, to thank you for saving my life on behalf of this unworthy child of ours." Gu Langhua said

After Gu Langhua finished speaking, he glared at Gu Jiusi. Gu Jiusi could only kneel down reluctantly and kowtow to express his gratitude. Liu Changfeng did not dodge but accepted it.

The reason for doing this, in addition to his little thoughts, was also to make Gu Langhua feel at ease.

And in fact, this was indeed the case. After seeing Liu Changfeng accept this gift, the couple immediately felt relieved.

After all, they are old, so naturally this favor should be attributed to their son. Now that the prince has accepted this gift, it means that he recognizes this relationship.

This is great news for his son. After all, there are not many people in the court who can act without any scruples, and this prince is an exception.

After all, what happened in the morning court and this title have made it clear that this glorious Prince Chuan has no qualifications to compete for the throne. If this is the case, then what is there to worry about?
This prince is destined not to participate in the fight for the throne, so no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, the identity of this prince will not change.

But Gu Jiusi didn't understand these principles at this time. He was still feeling aggrieved.
"Master Gu, now that everything is over, you can start your business again. What are you going to do this time?" Liu Changfeng said

"Your Majesty, to be honest, we, we do have this idea, but, but we don't have much capital, so, so?" Gu Langhua said

"Hey, what do you think it is? The capital issue is easy to deal with. I will provide it for you. It's not a problem. You just need to set up the business as soon as possible." Liu Changfeng said

When Gu Langhua heard this, he was overjoyed, and naturally everyone was happy. Looking at the backs of Gu Langhua and his family leaving, a satisfied smile appeared on Liu Changfeng's face.

At this time, the family of three had already boarded the carriage and were talking about what had just happened.

"Father, mother, why did you agree to this? Didn't we agree before that we would take our time and do smaller things? Now you are like this." Gu Jiusi said
"You know nothing. Do you think we can refuse the prince's words? Now that he has said this, we have no right to refuse. Besides, have you forgotten why our family went bankrupt before?"

"If you don't have connections with the court, what business are you doing? If even a county magistrate can destroy your family, how big can you expect to be?"

"Jiusi, I promised you before because I know your character. It's fine if you can make a living by doing some small business, but it's not possible now. Now the King of Chuan has set his sights on our family."

"He wants us to help him run his business, so naturally you can't do your job. Jiusi, remember, there are some things that we can't decide."

"Sometimes, what we want to do is not important. What is important is what others want you to do. This is the most important thing. Do you understand?" Gu Langhua said

"Jiusi, I know you have your own ideas and you are unwilling to accept them, but we are all old and we can't accompany you for many more years. You still have to live your life on your own from now on."

"What we can do now is to help you build a family business, so that even if you don't know anything in the future, you can still live well." Jiang Rou said seriously.

After hearing this, Gu Jiusi did not speak for a long time. It was not that he did not want to speak, but he did not know how to say it or what to say. After all, he was simply unable to refute the words that he loved his parents.

He really is just a playboy who knows nothing. He is very unwilling, but it is useless to be unwilling because he can't change anything.
