Chapter 509 Preparing Before the Court ( 2)

“Why are you here?” Huadan Wuyou hmphed. She was proud. Even if she was a prisoner, she wasn’t worried because her cousin was in Dayu right now. She wasn’t scared of Gong Yimo at all.

Gong Yimo walked in and chuckled. “I heard that you’re really knowledgeable and intelligent. Then did you guess that you’d fallen into my hands?”

Huadan Wuyou pursed her lips. She only understood some meteorological and astronomical phenomena. It was nothing. But because her family had a high status in Louye. Plus, she knew how to manage business too. Therefore, the common people had put Huadan Wuyou to a pedestal.

Gong Yimo was delighted, seeing that she hadn’t responded. When she smiled, she revealed her pearly whites. “Don’t worry. I’m not here to hurt you. I’m here because I want to ask you why you made a move on me that day.”

Huadan Wuyou hmphed and ignored her.

Gong Yimo touched her chin and smiled. “You think I’m a threat and want to get rid of me?”

She had been delaying time day after day and she didn’t murder her in the beginning. Therefore, she continued, “Or do you wish for me to be unable to regain my throne forever? And be t.i.tled as inauspicious? Then you’d make a move and get me to work for you?”

She guessed the point right away, causing her to hate Huadan Wuyou even more.

She suddenly stood up and exclaimed, “So what? What if it’s true and what if it’s not?”

She opened her eyes and glanced at Gong Yimo to notice that she was really beautiful. This caused her to become jealous. No wonder Gong Jue went to look for her yesterday night and was willing to buy pastries for her. He even stood by the side and taught the owner how to bake the cake. All because she liked it. Why?

Gong Yimo slightly narrowed her eyes. Detecting her sudden anger and her unsteady moody swings, she chuckled and looked harmless.

“If that’s the case, let me continue to guess. Your family has a high status in Louye because you have officials in your family and the majority of the horses in Louye come from your family, right?” Then you guys are after me because of my relations.h.i.+p with Yuheng’s second prince? You want me to work for you and help you establish connections so that Louye and Yuheng could have trading relations on the mainland? I believe that’s what your cousin, Longcheng Wuji wants. Plus, one your family helps your cousin, they could obtain quite a bit of benefits from it too. But your brother should be the one doing this. You ran out secretly right?”

Huadan Wuyou widened her eyes, suddenly a bit afraid.

She didn’t expect for a woman like Gong Yimo to have such strong discernibility and a.n.a.lyzing ability. She just eavesdropped on her brother and cousin’s plan then ran away from home secretly to operate each step of the plan. She wanted to make some contributions and share the burden with her cousin.

But Gong Yimo was just an outsider. How was she able to guess their plan that accurately when she hadn’t even eavesdropped on it? She was terrified!

No matter how powerful Huadan Wuyou was, she was just a G.o.ddess with limited power. She could scheme others and manage business but how could she compare to Gong Yimo, this mature little fox?

It wasn’t hard to guess this. It was hard opening one’s mind up to different perspectives however.

Seeing that Huadan Wuyou was shocked and angrily, Gong Yimo asked at an appropriate time in a deep voice, “But from what I know, your family doesn’t own that many horses, right? I believe that the year ago, many had died due to an epidemic. Now, your family is probably worse than Baiji’s family. Can you even afford all of this?”
