Chapter 142 I’m going
"Waste! All of you are waste!" Mu Feng roared in frustration. Then there was a loud "crash" and all the things on the table were thrown to the ground, making a mess.
Mu Feng's eyes were red, and he stared at Li Qi with bloodshot eyes, roaring loudly: "Didn't you say it was foolproof? Didn't you let this prince rest assured?"
Li Qi knelt down quickly, lowered his head, and said carefully: "Grand Prince, please calm down. It was my negligence. I didn't expect the Regent to send someone to help."
Mu Feng paced back and forth and said angrily: "What should we do now? I don't know if the Ninth Prince has caught anyone alive. What if..." Mu Feng felt scared just thinking about it. If there really was someone alive, then his plan would most likely be exposed.
Li Qi consoled him, "Don't panic, Prince. We still have a chance. The most important thing right now is not to lose our composure."
Mu Feng calmed down and asked anxiously: "So how should we deal with it now?"
After thinking for a moment, Li Qi suggested, "Grand Prince, we must stabilize the situation now. Don't contact Yaozhou for now! We must protect our people."
Mu Feng was a little worried: "Is Yaozhou safe?"
Li Qi replied seriously: "The Regent is extremely cold-blooded and ruthless. If he finds out, there will be no recovery."
The more Mu Feng thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He couldn't help but sigh, "The Ninth Prince is indeed terrifying. I'm afraid there is not a single royal family member who is not afraid of him. Father also trusts him extremely."
Li Qi nodded in agreement, and then reminded Mu Feng: "Prince, the most urgent task is to find a way to cover up our actions and avoid being discovered by the Regent. At the same time, we must also prepare for the worst."
"Well, go and erase all traces. If possible, give Old Three some trouble as well."
Li Qi nodded helplessly, praying secretly in his heart that everything would go well.
"Your Highness, let's give up this time. We can make up for it somewhere else." Li Qi stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Mu Feng didn't understand.
Li Qi replied: "Marriage?" This is currently the fastest way to contact ministers in the court.
Mu Feng nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then asked: "Then tell me if you have a goal?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "The Minister of Justice's daughter Jiang Fang, the Grand Tutor Jiang's daughter Jiang Li, and the Prime Minister's second daughter Jing Jiaojiao." After saying that, he looked at Mu Feng, waiting for his reaction.
After hearing this, Mu Feng was secretly delighted. These women were all daughters of famous families, and their status was noble. Marrying them would undoubtedly enhance his own strength and status. Moreover, these women all had their own advantages and charms, which made Mu Feng's heart beat fast.
Mu Feng couldn't help but smile and said to Li Qi with satisfaction: "Not bad at all!" He had already begun to think about how to establish connections with these women and achieve his goals through marriage.
Li Qi saw Mu Feng's expression and knew that he was very interested in this proposal, so he continued, "These ladies are all famous ladies in the capital. They are not only outstanding in appearance, but also talented. If you can marry one of them, it will be like adding wings to a tiger for the prince."
Mu Feng nodded, indicating that he agreed with Li Qi's opinion. He knew very well that in this complex political environment, marriage was not only a personal marriage, but also a political means. By marrying the daughter of a minister in the court, he could consolidate his sphere of influence and gain more support and resources.
After thinking for a while, Mu Feng decided to learn more about these women before making further plans. He said to Li Qi, "Go collect information about these four ladies, including their personalities and preferences. I want to learn more about them so that I can make the most appropriate choice."
"Let Mu Yu go and get acquainted with them first." Mu Feng suddenly thought of his twin sister.
Li Qi agreed and immediately arranged for someone to investigate the women. He knew that this would be an important task that would affect Mu Feng's future development. Mu Feng was immersed in his own thoughts, expecting this marriage to bring him greater opportunities and challenges.
Jiang Li, who was their target, was very busy at this time. After his third brother went to Huizhou, Jiang Li was in charge of all the affairs in the store. The key was that his third brother had too many stores. In addition, Xie Lan had been unwell some time ago, so she also needed Jiang Li's help to manage her dowry shop.
"Miss, it's time to eat! It's already noon." Chuntao came in with lunch, but found that her young lady was still busy, and couldn't help but persuade her.
"Got it, I'll be there right away." Jiang Li responded, but his eyes never left the account book. He was still concentrating on calculating and checking the account book.
Chuntao walked over and closed the account book, looking at Jiang Li angrily: "Miss, you don't take good care of your health. Madam's health has just improved, and you are busy all day long." Chuntao was very worried about Jiang Li. Because of the eldest young master's affairs some time ago, no one in the mansion had been able to rest well, and the young lady was even busier. She felt distressed seeing this, after all, the young lady was only a teenage girl.
"Okay, okay." Jiang Li stood up, washed his hands, and walked to the table to prepare for dinner. Chun Tao stood behind Jiang Li. When Jiang Li finished his meal, Chun Tao handed him a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
"Miss, why haven't the eldest and third young masters come back yet? It's almost time! If the third young master were at home, you wouldn't have to work so hard." Chuntao muttered softly.
Yes, wouldn’t it be nice if Third Brother came back?
Jiang Li's eyes lit up and he smiled at Chun Tao and praised her, "My Chun Tao is so smart!"
"Ah???" Chuntao was totally confused.
"Shi Liu, come here quickly." Jiang Li shouted towards the yard.
"What happened, young lady?" Shi Liu came in quickly and asked.
"Miss, I am going to bring the third brother back. I will go and take care of the eldest brother."
"Ah???" Chuntao and Shiliu opened their mouths wide.
