The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 83 Prince's Support

Yunxi was walking slowly back and forth in the courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, her brows tightly knitted together, as if tied in a knot, and her whole body exuded a sense of boredom.

The prince came hurriedly, and the servant behind him was running out of breath, his feet felt like they were being beaten with garlic, and he could not keep up with the prince's pace no matter how hard he tried.

"Madam, don't worry too much about this matter." When the prince spoke, his voice was like a bell, loud and steady.

Yunxi raised her head and looked at the prince, exhaled softly, and said helplessly: "This matter has far-reaching implications. How can I not be worried?"

The prince took two steps at a time and walked to Yunxi's side. He stretched out his hand and held her hand tightly. His grip was so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to give her endless strength.

"Don't worry, madam. I will fully support you." The prince looked firm in the eyes, staring straight into Yunxi's eyes.

Yunxi's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of emotion, and her lips trembled slightly: "With your words, Yunxi feels much more at ease."

At this time, the housekeeper hurried over and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Madam, there are some guests outside the palace who say they have important matters to discuss."

The prince frowned slightly: "Do you know who it is?"

The housekeeper quickly replied, "They are several wealthy businessmen in the city. They heard about the situation at the Marquis' Mansion and came to help."

The prince and Yunxi looked at each other. The prince's eyes under his thick eyebrows showed determination, and Yunxi nodded slightly. The two of them went to the front hall together.

In the front hall, several wealthy businessmen were sitting and drinking tea. The fat businessman had a round belly, as if he was eight months pregnant, and the fat on his face jiggled with his movements.

The thin wealthy businessman had high cheekbones and deep-set eyes, giving him a shrewd look. Seeing the prince and Yunxi come in, they all stood up and saluted.

"Your Highness, Madam," said the portly businessman, a smile plastered across his face that narrowed his eyes to slits. "We know a thing or two about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, and we are willing to do our best to help."

Another thin wealthy businessman continued, "We have some connections in the city and can definitely help the Marquis' Mansion survive this disaster."

As he spoke, he kept rubbing his hands together.

Yunxi smiled and said, "Thank you all for your kindness. Yunxi is very grateful." The smile on Yunxi's face was just right, and her eyes were full of sincerity.

The prince said in a loud voice: "I am very grateful to you all for coming." The prince put his hands behind his back, stood straight, and showed his majesty.

Everyone sat down and began to discuss countermeasures.

"In my opinion, the most urgent task is to find more evidence to prove the innocence of the Marquis' Mansion." said a wealthy businessman with a frown and a serious expression.

Yunxi nodded: "I think so too, but the evidence is hard to find." Yunxi bit her lip lightly, her face full of worry.

The prince pondered for a moment, pacing back and forth in the hall, and then said, "I will send someone to investigate Liu Quan's whereabouts. Perhaps they can find something."

The fat rich businessman slapped his thigh and said loudly, "Your Highness, this is a brilliant plan. Liu Quan is not a good person. Who knows what shameful activities he might have uncovered."

The thin rich businessman's eyes turned and he continued, "I can also send some people to ask around in the city to see if there is any news."

Yunxi quickly said, "That's great, thank you both."

Everyone was talking at once, offering suggestions.

"I have some acquaintances in the government office, maybe I can get some information from there." said another wealthy businessman.

The prince bowed and said, "Then I'll trouble you all."

After discussing for a while, we finally had a general direction.

"It's getting late, so we'll take our leave now. As soon as we have any news, please inform the prince and his wife immediately."

The wealthy businessmen all stood up.

The prince clasped his fists and said, "Thank you all for your help. I would like to thank you all."

Yunxi also said: "Thank you everyone, Yunxi is looking forward to your good news."

After the wealthy businessmen left, Yunxi looked at the prince and said, "Prince, this time is all thanks to you."

The prince smiled and said, "Madam, why should we be so distant?"

In the next few days, the prince was in a hurry all day long, personally directing his men to run around and investigate everywhere.

That momentum was like a general charging into battle, never stopping for a moment.

On this day, Yunxi was sitting in the study, frowning slightly, carefully sorting out those complicated clues.

The sunlight shone through the window lattice onto her, illuminating her focused silhouette. Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and then the prince walked in excitedly, his footsteps so fast that they stirred up a gust of wind.

"Madam, there is news." The prince said loudly, his face full of excitement and his eyes shining brightly.

Yunxi quickly stood up, walked over quickly, and asked anxiously, "Prince, please tell me quickly."

The prince took a breath and said quickly, "We found out that Liu Quan had been secretly dealing with an enemy of the Marquis' Mansion."

Yunxi's eyes lit up, her face instantly glowed, and her voice became a little louder: "This is an important clue."

The prince nodded and continued, "I have already sent people to keep an eye on that enemy. We dare not relax for a moment, waiting to uncover more secrets."

Yunxi felt a little relieved, patted his chest lightly, and said, "That's great."

After a few days, the prince's men put in a lot of effort and finally captured a confidant of the enemy.

This confidant has shifty eyes and it's obvious that he's not an honest guy.

In the dungeon of the Marquis's mansion, it was dark, damp, and filled with a foul odor. Yunxi and the prince interrogated him together. Yunxi stood straight, staring at the confidant with a sharp look.

At first, the confidant was stubborn, sticking out his neck and squinting his eyes, refusing to tell the truth.

The prince's face darkened, and he slammed the table and shouted, "If you don't tell the truth, I have plenty of ways to make you speak!

Come, severely punish me!"

Yunxi said, "If you confess the truth, perhaps I can spare your life."

The confidant's heart was pounding and his eyes were rolling around, but he still held on.

The prince's eyes widened, he rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward, pointed at the confidant's nose and cursed, "You ignorant fool, you still dare to talk back? Believe it or not, I will throw you into prison for life!"

Yunxi also said: "Think carefully, is it worth risking your life for that enemy? As long as you tell the truth, we will let bygones be bygones."

The confidant finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore. His legs gave way and he fell to his knees. He trembled and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

It turned out that all of this was carefully planned by the enemy to frame the Marquis' Mansion. Yunxi was so angry that she trembled all over and cursed through gritted teeth: "Such a villain must not be forgiven easily."

The prince said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will make them pay the price."

With this evidence, Yunxi wasted no time and sprang into action. She was busy flipping through the pile of documents, then giving instructions to the servants.

The prince stood aside, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes offering advice to Yunxi. He pointed to a document and said, "Madam, look here."

After a while he said, "Perhaps it would be more appropriate to do so."

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was busy preparing for the truth to be revealed.
