The Great Planned Marriage: Becoming A Splendid Princess
It didn’t take long for Shi Qingxue to know what was happening.
She had planned to get to know the situation in Jiangzhou unnoticed before taking any action.
However, as long as Mo Junzhan was here, it would be impossible for them to be unnoticed.
On the second day Mo Junzhan stayed in the magistrate’s mansion, he made a splash to thoroughly investigate the accounts of Jiangzhou.
It looked as if he were sure that the magistrate of Jiangzhou had filled his own pocket by taking bribes.
He was so arrogant that he was afraid that people did not want to kill him.
Instead, Mo Junzhan worked energetically and assumed the posture of making people think better of him.
Shi Qingxue didn’t know how to talk to him but had to send Wei Zichao to protect him closely.
She was afraid that Mo Junzhan would get near to the truth, which was almost impossible, and then Yan Xu would do something desperate and go to silence them again.
Mo Junzhan might be good at leading the army to fight, but as for intriguing against others, he was completely outgunned.
Yan Xu was able to let him die in line of duty without a trace.
Shi Qingxue would never let such things happen, so she secretly prohibited Mo Junzhan from leaving the mansion.
Mo Junzhan was a restless person, but he listened to Qingxue, so he stayed in the mansion obediently and didn’t go out.
Bored, Mo Junzhan intensified to upset the people in the mansion.
In shortly three or four days, the mansion was completely a turmoil because of Mo Junzhan.
Although the things didn’t go on well, he had become the person that Yan Xu hated most.
However, from another viewpoint, since Yan Xu had focused all his attention on Mo Junzhan, things were much easier for Mo Junyang.
Sometimes when Mo Junyang went out, Yan Xu didn’t care at all and took it for granted that he was bored in the mansion.
Everyone was bored!
Because of Mo Junzhan’s hard work, Yan Xu had stayed in the mansion for several days and never walked out of it.
It almost kept Magistrate Yan, who used to spend seven or eight days out of ten in the whorehouses, insane.
He got a wife and several concubines in his mansion, but they were getting aged and couldn’t match the pleasant speech of the women in the land of warmth and tenderness.
But now he had to enjoy the sweetness in his dreams.
Yan Xu saw Mo Junyang come into the room with frost all over him several times in the morning. He always came up to the young man, patted him on the shoulder and said as he looked at him sympathetically, “It’s not easy for all of us. When you go out next time, no matter which whorehouse you enter, just tell them that you’re my guest. I can guarantee that they will find you a fabulous girl. It will be on me. You’re welcome.”
Yan Xu showed his generosity to him.
Mo Junyang’s face turned cold.
Shi Qingxue was passing speechlessly.
As Yan Xu was talking, the figures of the girls came into his head and he put on a lascivious smile on the corner of his mouth unconsciously. He exchanged his experiences with Mo Junyang cheeringly. “Let me tell you. Xiang in Spring House gets the best voice and her songs are mild and touching. Cui in Swallow House gets the best curve. Mei in Plum Blossom House smells fragrant all over…”
Lord Yan’s eyes sparkled as he talked about the women in the whorehouses, and he was very familiar with them all.
But he failed to notice Mo Junyang’s eyes becoming more and more impatient.
On the other side, Shi Qingxue knew things would be out of hand as she saw the cold face of Mo Junyang. Regardless of whether it was proper for her to show up, she rushed up to them.
“Lord Yan,” she shouted loudly, which interrupted Yan Xu’s long monologue.
Yan Xu cast an unpleasant glance at Shi Qingxue at first and found that her eyes were on Mo Junyang from time to time.
Lord Yan suddenly felt himself enlightened. He chuckled and said, “Nice to meet you, Miss Shi. I’d better leave you two alone. See you later.”
His eyes ran from Shi Qingxue to Mo Junyang like a thief’s and the weird smile before he left made Shi Qingxue’s flesh crawl.
Shi Qingxue kept silent for a long moment. When the two went into the room, she smiled helplessly and asked, “Where have you been these days?”
Mo Junyang didn’t go out during the day but at night.
It was natural that the outsiders misunderstood him.
Qingxue didn’t think that way, but she was curious about what Mo Junyang was doing recently.
“Nothing.” Mo Junyang shook his head with an expression that he didn’t want to talk.
Shi Qingxue froze for a moment and stopped asking. Then she briefly told him what Mo Junzhan had done these days.
She said, “His Highness really made a noise and I’m afraid that he has roused the serpent, but I don’t know what they will do next.”
Mo Junyang knitted his eyebrows at first but then soothed slowly. “It won’t take long to know.”
Men were farsighted on many things, and it was no exception this time.
The next day, Mo Junzhan came to the two of them excitedly with an account book, claiming that he got a great discovery.
“Take a look at this, Qingxue. The imperial court allocated over five thousand dan of grain for this flood and the grain was transported to Jiangzhou in batches. But look at the expenditure records of Jiangzhou’s granary. Add all the records up, and you’ll find there is less than twenty-five hundred dan, not to mention five thousand!”
Mo Junzhan was excited when he talked about his discovery, and he added in the end, “Early in the morning, Wei Zichao and I went to the Jiangzhou’s granary, and found that it is almost empty. It may meet the daily expenditure of Jiangzhou, and is impossible to relieve the people in disaster! So somebody must have taken the grain away secretly.”
Shi Qingxue flipped the account book while listening to Mo Junzhan’s explanation.
Mo Junzhan replied without any thinking, “The supervisor is in charge of the accounting in the city. It’s hard to tell who did it now, but the supervisor can hardly absolve himself from it.”
Shi Qingxue put on an understanding look and told Mo Junzhan a truth slowly. “Jiangzhou supervisor’s present whereabouts are unknown now.”
“He must flee for fear of being punished. As long as we can catch him, we will get to know the truth as plain as daylight.”
Mo Junzhan’s eyes flittered excitedly as if he had found the best solution.
Shi Qingxue was rendered helpless by his excitement. She sighed, “Let alone that the supervisor has disappeared over half a month, and if he really fled, we’ve lost all the traces to find him. Jiangzhou only is so large. Where do you think we can find him? How can we find him easily?”
Mo Junzhan was rendered silent by Shi Qingxue’s question after question.
He hung his head and asked unpleasantly, “What do you say?”
Shi Qingxue also put on an awkward look.
Although she could accurately point out the shortcoming of Mo Junzhan’s solution, she couldn’t provide a good solution, either.
The situation in Jiangzhou was too complicated and the corruption was not formed in a day or by one person.
It was possible that it involved over a half of the officials in Jiangzhou. A slight move might affect the situation as a whole.
If they kept doing, it might lead to great upheavals in entire Jiangzhou.
Shi Qingxue didn’t fear any upheaval, but the key figure in the matter, Ye Zhirong, the supervisor of Jiangzhou, was nowhere to be found.
The most important clue disappeared.
It would be much harder to find another clue.
“You can discuss it with Yan Xu. Maybe there will be another clue,” Mo Junyang suddenly said.
“What?” Mo Junzhan and Shi Qingxue turned to him at the same time.
Mo Junyang had to explain patiently, “Jiangzhou supervisor is involved. Do you think Yan Xu, the highest official of Jiangzhou, will know nothing about it?”
Mo Junzhan was suddenly enlightened, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the confidence on Mo Junyang’s face.
He retorted deliberately, “Maybe the people under him kept him in complete dark!”
Mo Junyang didn’t argue with him at all. He just looked at Mo Junzhan with a spurious smile and the latter felt his face burning.
He himself had realized how stupid his words were.
But he was not ready to shut up in dejection. He found another reason and said, “As you said, Yan Xu is the highest official in Jiangzhou, so he must leave most of the business to the people under him. Even if there was anything bad, he won’t do it himself.
“He won’t have vulnerable points that others may capitalize on!”
“I don’t think so.”
Shi Qingxue cut in. She analyzed calmly, “We don’t have to find their vulnerable points. As long as they let the cat out of the bag, we can follow the vine to get the melon. Maybe the account book is enough!”
Mo Junzhan was startled.
His face hung down immediately. He stared at Shi Qingxue unpleasantly and looked like a boy who didn’t get any candy.
“Why do you help him?”
Shi Qingxue was completely puzzled by his charge.
She just spoke out her thoughts and wasn’t partial to anyone.
But Mo Junzhan didn’t think that way. In his eyes, Shi Qingxue was partial to Mo Junyang if she didn’t take his side when he was arguing with Mo Junyang.
Mo Junzhan felt his place was threatened. He stared at Shi Qingxue furiously and aggrievedly, as if saying that she had broken his heart and why she didn’t come to comfort him at once.
Shi Qingxue was completely speechless.
She covered her lips with her hands. She tried hard not to laugh but couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes.
She never expected that she would see such a cute Mo Junzhan again after she was reborn.
She missed that feeling and sighed with emotion.
She smoothed Mo Junzhan’s bad mood and explained, “Junyang means that your discovery today is important, and only you can let the cat out of the bag.”
“Really?”
Mo Junzhan was dubious but Shi Qingxue nodded affirmatively.
Mo Junzhan believed her explanation at once and felt that he was an adult. Then he shouldn’t fuss over every ounce, so he forgave Mo Junyang for being unable to talk nicely.
He then expressed in high spirits that he would go to talk with Yan Xu about the account book.
Watching Mo Junzhan going away, Shi Qingxue took a look at Mo Junyang who was indifferent the whole time and sighed, “Hey, you. Even if he doesn’t know, he is your younger brother and is just a kid anyway. Why do you have to care about trifles?”
As a matter of fact, it was easy to guess Mo Junzhan’s mind and to calm him down.
With Mo Junyang’s ability, it was easy to make Mo Junzhan take his side, but why did he have to be cold to that boy?
Mo Junyang didn’t speak in the first place, and Shi Qingxue had given up the idea of finding an explanation.
He suddenly looked at her and asked, “Do you want to know the reason?”

A moment later, she asked, “Who do you think dare to keep the disaster relief grain issued by the imperial court?”Mo Junzhan replied without any thinking, “The supervisor is in charge of the accounting in the city. It’s hard to tell who did it now, but the supervisor can hardly absolve himself from it.”
