Chapter 1848

"What do I, Shangguan Wan'er, fear from the gossip of the common people? As long as the three of us... no... the four of us live well and happily, that is better than anything else."

But Gao Yang interrupted forcefully, "Wan'er, but I care."

He sighed and said, "I already owe you so much; how can I let you be wronged?"

He truly cherished the Shangguan Wan'er before him; how could Shangguan Wan'er not have a knot in her heart regarding the matter of Chu Qingluan?

It was just a compromise for love!

Now, with the matter of Lu Yourong, should he continue to let Shangguan Wan'er make concessions, or even be a concubine?

This is too unfair to Shangguan Wan'er.

She did nothing wrong, her feelings were burning, why should she suffer this grievance?

Although he, Gao Yang, is sometimes quite a scoundrel, he can't be that much of a scoundrel.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er was suddenly stunned.

A warmth also surged in her heart.

She stopped dodging and let Gao Yang hold her hand firmly, only sighing and saying, "But what should be done about Yourong?"

Gao Yang also felt a headache.

This is a positive conspiracy, and an unsolvable one at that.

"I will send people to investigate this matter thoroughly and order the Imperial Academy to give a lecture at the Censorate, clarifying that blood transfusion is not an evil art, but a life-saving art!"

"Then change 'joining the army for love' to 'joining the army for her father', fighting for the Lu family and for Da Qian, to calm public opinion and see how it works."

Gao Yang frowned tightly and sighed.

Then, he said viciously: "Don't let me find out who is behind this, otherwise, I will definitely make them pay."

Gao Yang truly hated the culprit behind this.

"Brother, do you want to buy a novel? The recent popular one about Minister Gao and Miss Lu!"

Not far away.

A young boy, about ten years old, looked left and right sneakily and spoke to Gao Yang very cautiously.

He saw at a glance that Gao Yang was extraordinary.

Hiss!

At this moment, Gao Yang felt the popularity Shangguan Wan'er had mentioned.

Damn it, they are selling it to the person himself.

Shangguan Wan'er turned her head, unable to hold back a smile.

"How many copies do you have?"

Gao Yang asked.

The young boy's eyes lit up, and he said, "Young master, do you want a lot of copies?"

"It's just that the price isn't cheap!"

Gao Yang directly took a gold ingot from his bosom.

The young boy's eyes lit up, and he was almost drooling; this was definitely a big fish!

"Young master, my name is Hu Zi; I only have three copies on me, but if you want a lot, I can take you to see my boss; we have as many as you want!"

"The price is also negotiable!"

Hu Zi said eagerly.

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow, "Fine, then lead the way; I want five hundred copies. Such a good story, if sold elsewhere, will definitely make a fortune!"

"Five hundred copies?"

Hu Zi's eyes lit up, and his heart felt fiery.

"Young master, please this way."

Hu Zi was excited and walked in front to lead the way.

If he brought this big client to his boss, his boss would definitely reward him well.

Gao Yang's personal guards, who were almost all protecting him in secret, also moved immediately.

Gao Yang and Shangguan Wan'er followed Hu Zi, walking about a few hundred meters forward, then turned into a small alley, winding around inside, and finally, after turning left, Gao Yang saw a figure.

However, this figure was quite familiar!

"Tsk tsk, I, Gao Changwen, am truly the smartest person in the world! Look, this is strength, this is brains!"

"There are many poor scholars in Changan; a novel can be sold for two taels of silver. The bamboo paper is taken from home, and I find people to make rubbings. Excluding all costs, I can net one tael and five hundred wen!"

"At this speed, if I sell fifty more copies, I can go to the Rouge Pavilion and have a good time!"

"Liu Ruyan, the top courtesan of the Rouge Pavilion, is truly short-sighted. My brother was just a playboy a year ago, but in just one year, he has had such a huge change. I come from the same residence as my brother, and I am even more of a playboy than him; why won't she take the initiative to bet on me? She only thinks about sitting back and enjoying the fruits!"

"Forget it, forget it, I'll just slap her in the face with money!"

Gao Changwen counted the silver while muttering to himself, his young face full of smiles.

Gao Yang's face turned black.

He clenched his fists, making a creaking sound.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Gao Yang teasingly, almost laughing out loud.

Hu Zi shouted, "Boss, I've brought you a deal; this young master wants to pay a high price to buy five hundred copies!"

"Hiss!"

"Five hundred copies!"

"Hu Zi, well done, you are indeed my, Gao Changwen's, capable subordinate; I really didn't misjudge you."

Gao Changwen was full of excitement.

Five hundred copies, that's one thousand taels of silver!

Excluding costs, he can net eight hundred and fifty taels; if he goes to the Rouge Pavilion, would Liu Ruyan still dare to look down on him?

"Which young master is so generous? I'm not bragging, in all of Changan, only I, Gao Changwen, have the confidence; I have as many as you want... Holy crap!"

Gao Changwen turned back, boasting.

But when he saw Gao Yang's face, the smile on his face froze instantly, and his teeth were chattering.

"Bro... Brother..."
