Jiang Zihao didn't have much confidence at the moment, so he didn't dare to shout at the Mu family. He took small steps back and curled up like a quail. His pair of peach blossom eyes kept shooting glances at Di Wanye. His small actions naturally fell into the eyes of Mu Aotian and the others. At this time, Mu Aotian didn't want to argue with him.
Mu Aotian handed the Yuan Bao to Mu Xuanyun. He took a step forward and looked at Di Wanye," Your Highness."”
This shout pulled back Di Wanye's line of sight.
His eyes were cold as he looked at Mu Aotian.
One was incomparably cold, while the other was extremely cold.
Mu Aotian then said," Your Highness, no matter what happened between Young Master Jiang and Little Tang, it's a matter between the Jiang family and the Mu family. However, the Thousand Year Lotus belongs to Your Highness, and it's indeed our Mu family who took it.
Right now, our Mu Family can't take out an identical Thousand Year Lotus, but this old minister's family will never run away. So, if the Crown Prince speaks, this old minister will definitely not say a single word about how to resolve this matter.”
Mu Aotian spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. He was a man of steel and would not run away from anything.
After half a day, the matter was already very clear. The Thousand Year Lotus belonged to Di Wanye, and his own girl ate this Thousand Year Lotus, so the Mu family would definitely not escape this responsibility.
As for Jiang Zihao, it wouldn't be too late to ask for a favor from the Jiang family after this matter was resolved.
……
Upon hearing Mu Aotian's words, Di Wanye's expression was unfathomable. His eyes fell on Mu Aotian's face. As the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, he naturally understood the temperament of this Prince of a different surname who had contributed greatly to the Great Zhou Empire. What he said was from the bottom of his heart, not just words.
To be honest, he had great admiration for this prince of the Mu family. However, when he thought of the arrogant attitude of Haitang of the Mu family towards him, he could not swallow his anger no matter what. Therefore, the next moment, the corners of Di Wanye's lips curled up and her thin lips moved slightly.
"Prince Mu, in order to get this Thousand-Year Lotus, I sent out 28 personal guards and used the strategy of creating a diversion to divert the attention of the people fighting for it. Nine people were injured and six were killed before I managed to get this lotus. Unfortunately, it was not delivered to me in the end.”
Di Wanye said lightly.
Mu Aotian's expression was also very serious. At this moment, he knew that it was not easy to obtain this Thousand Year Lotus. Looking at this young Crown Prince, he had a face that could make the sun and moon pale, but his expression was unpredictable. He really could not guess what this Crown Prince was thinking.
"Then…"
"Father."
Just as Mu AoTian was about to speak, Lu Tang, who had been standing at the side for a while, quickly stepped forward. She spoke softly and interrupted Mu AoTian.
She raised her head and looked at Di Wanye. Her eyes were clear and she had a proud look on her face." I'll take responsibility for what I did. I took this Thousand Year Lotus and I ate it. What do you want? Just say it."”
Lu Tang said coldly.
Did she really think she didn't know that Di Wanye was waiting for her here? She had played him so many times before, would he let her off? Wasn't this petty and scheming scum Di waiting for him to stand up after saying so much?
When Di Wanye saw Lu Tang stand out, her expression did not change as if she had expected this.
His cold eyes met Lu Tang's cold and arrogant gaze. He suddenly lifted his feet and walked in front of Lu Tang. He was almost a head taller than Lu Tang and was very close to Lu Tang. Di Wanye stared into Lu Tang's eyes and laughed lightly. His expression was high and mighty, but also full of contempt. Then, Di Wanye said," Miss Mu, can you afford it?"”
"Why not? If you want money, I will gather it for you. If you want snow lotuses, I will pluck them for you. Imperial Crown Prince, as long as you say it, I, Mu family's Haitang, can do it.”
Lu Tang raised her head and glared at him coldly. Her tone was rather arrogant.
Di Wanye looked at Lu Tang and thought that this woman was really not afraid of death, so she finally stopped pretending.
When Mu Aotian heard Lu Tang's words, his expression changed. His eyes widened, and his mind went blank for a while. His girl used to be the most delicate. Now, her tone was really domineering, but it was too disrespectful.
How could this girl speak to the Crown Prince like this?
Mu Aotian hurriedly stepped forward and continued Lu Tang's words," Little Tang, you can leave now. Don't be rude to the Crown Prince. Leave this matter to Father."”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Tang's expression froze. She said," Father, this disaster was caused by me. I'll bear it myself.”
"Don't mess around. Daddy is here."
Mu AoTian scolded in a low voice.
He had lost his daughter for four years, and her courage had actually become bigger than the sky. He could not control her anymore?
"Father, your daughter has already grown up. This is the trouble that your daughter has caused.”
Lu Tang's voice wasn't loud, but the expression on her face was firm. She stubbornly looked at Mu Aotian.
Mu Aotian's heart suddenly felt extremely sour and uncomfortable.
His daughter had been missing for four years. It seemed that she did not need to rely on him as her father anymore. She wanted to use her young shoulders to shoulder everything. His heart ached.
His servant girl had hidden the truth about the Thousand Year Lotus from him. Now that the Crown Prince was making things difficult for her, she actually didn't need him, her father, to do anything.
Mu AoTian felt depressed.
Lu Tang saw that Mu Aotian was firm and unyielding, and his face was filled with disappointment and sadness. Although he was expressionless, Lu Tang could tell that he was crying in pain. She was a smart girl, and she knew why Mu Aotian was upset. She sighed lightly and walked to Mu Aotian's side. She whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear," Father, leave this small matter to me. There's a big matter later. I need your help."
Lu Tang's voice was soft and gentle. She blinked her cat-like eyes and looked obedient. Her tone was filled with reliance on him as her father.
Mu AoTian's heart felt much better, and the pain lessened a little.
"Is there anything else?"
he asked softly.
Lu Tang blinked and touched her nose uncomfortably." You'll know in a while. I'll leave it to you then."”
"Don't worry, with Father here, we won't be afraid even if the sky falls.”
Mu AoTian patted his chest and promised.
He thought in his heart, as long as it's not a big crime of beheading, I can bear it for you.
Lu Tang comforted Mu Aotian and got his assurance before walking towards Di Linghan." Your Highness, since I've fallen into your hands, I'll admit defeat. Tell me, how do you want to resolve this?"”
Lu Tang asked.
Her tone was filled with hatred. She really hated this scheming Di Wanye to death.
Di Wanye's face was expressionless, but he had seen all the interactions between the old and young of the Mu family. The father was kind and the son was filial. They were really a loving family.
Humph.
His mood suddenly worsened.
Then, Lu Tang heard him say," This Thousand Year Lotus was originally used by me to nurse my body. Since it was eaten by Miss Mu, I naturally can't let you spit it out again…" Di Wanye's speech was not fast and her voice was very magnetic, but the words she said really made Lu Tang very angry.
These words seemed to imply that the eldest daughter of the Mu family was a glutton and had secretly eaten the lotus…
Lu Tang puffed and puffed as her face turned red with anger. This Di Wanye didn't even use vulgarities when mocking people. She was a scheming b * tch, Di scum.
Lu Tang made a mental note of him.
Di Wanye continued," For the sake of King Mu, I will not make things too difficult for Miss Mu.”
He opened his mouth and then waved his hand. An Jiu quickly stepped forward. Di Wanye lowered her voice and gave a few instructions. An Jiu took the order and left.
His voice wasn't loud, so Lu Tang couldn't hear what he said clearly. She could only see the twilight and Di Wanye's peerless beauty was blurred by the light and shadow, truly charming.
As the wind blew, Di Wanye's robe and black hair fluttered in the wind. The entire courtyard was silent at this moment. No one knew what Di Wanye was going to do.
"Your Highness, what do you want?”
Lu Tang was a little impatient. She kept feeling that Di Wanye was holding back her ultimate move. Don't forget that she had " fed " him poison previously. Therefore, his calm appearance made people feel uneasy.
Soon, Dark Nine returned.
"For Miss Mu."
Di Wanye said lightly.
Thus, Dark Nine handed the item in his hand to Lu Tang.
"What is it?"
Lu Tang frowned and lowered her head. It was written in black and white, and it was very complicated. However, Lu Tang could clearly see the two big words at the top: agreement.
Lu Tang almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he read the contents of the agreement carefully.
It was written clearly in black and white," The Mu family's Haitang owes the crown prince, Di Wanye, three million taels of gold. She will pay it off within three days. Otherwise, she will voluntarily enter the crown prince's residence as a maid for three months. This is a special agreement to prove it."”
"Three million gold? Pay it back in three days? Otherwise, she would have to enter the residence as a servant? Your Highness, are you joking?”
When Lu Tang saw the contents of the agreement, her expression finally changed. She glared at Di Wanye, her eyes blazing as she called him Crown Prince.
Compared to Lu Tang's anger and surprise, Di Wanye's face was indifferent. He said lightly," The Thousand Year Lotus is priceless. I've already given face to King Mu by converting it to three million taels of gold. Why, is Eldest Miss Mu still not satisfied?"”
he asked.
Lu Tang gritted her teeth. Good, very satisfied. Three million gold, Di scumbag, why don't you go rob it? Di Wanye was waiting for her here.
Three million gold taels in three days? How could she achieve that with her own strength? She didn't want to implicate her father and brother.
Lu Tang turned to look at Mu Aotian and Mu Xuanyun. Both of their faces were very solemn. Three million gold was definitely not a small amount. The Mu family was a family of generals. Even if they emptied their entire family, they would not be able to take out three million gold within three days. Moreover, the rewards could not be sold. The Mu family's father and brother were shocked by the amount that Di Wanye proposed.
However, what made their father and brother's hearts sink even more was the last sentence of the agreement. If they could not pay off this debt within three days, they would let the Tang girl enter the Crown Prince's residence as a servant for three months.
What kind of grudge was this? What grudge?
