If Su Wen knew that Emperor Zhou would say that he appreciated him, he would definitely curse at the emperor. Who are you saying that you like??
But the current Su Wen was very happy that he had achieved his goal.
After they left the palace and got into the carriage, Su Wen smiled and said, âLetâs go eat some fried vermicelli. I havenât eaten at the stall for many days and Iâve missed it.â
Zhao Jin responded and drove the carriage straight to the stall.
At that moment, Wu Kunhu was leisurely reading a book at the Wu residence.
He suddenly raised his head and said, âYouâve been loitering outside for a long time. What exactly do you want?â
Wu Lie opened the door awkwardly and walked in.
âFather⦠I have something to tell youâ¦â Wu Kunhu frowned, âSpeak! What is it? Why are you being so wishy-washy?â Wu Lie stole a glance at him and whispered, âThese few days, Iâll find some time to invite Su Wen over for dinner.â
Wu Kaihu laughed out loud. âWhat sort of problem is this? If you want to treat him to a meal, just treat him. It canât be that you need me to accompany you, right?â
That was true. With Wu Kunhuâs status, even if Wu Lie invited Su Wen over for a meal, there was no reason for him to tag along. Of course, that was unless he was willing.
Wu Lie kept trying to organize his words. âFather⦠this time, you really have to accompany me. After all, the two of us have been through life and death together⦠Please take it as youâre helping meâ¦â
When Wu Kunhu saw him like this, he shook his head and said with a smile, âThatâs it? Donât worry, Iâll give you some face! Iâll accompany you both!â
Even after he said that, Wu Lie still did not move.
âWell⦠wellâ¦â
âIs there anything else? Can you just say everything you need?â Wu Kunhu was getting impatient.
Wu Lie steeled his heart and threw caution to the wind. He quickly said, âI want my sister to come along too!â
Wu Kunhu: âHuh?â
One had to know that women would never come out to accompany guests! This was especially women who had yet to marry and leave the residence.
Unless there was some special reason which required them to be present!
âWhy?â Wu Kunhu frowned as he asked.
Wu Lie told him the truth. âBecause I promised Su Wen that I would invite him over for a family dinner with my sister!â
Wu Kuihuâs expression darkened as he asked, âDidnât you say that you wonât go after Yan Luoying any more? Why did you ask your younger sister to have a meal with Su Wen? Did you change your mind? Even if you change your mind, you canât bet on your younger sisterâs reputation! If word gets out that I, Wu Kunhu, let Su Wen and my daughter have a meal at my house, what would happen to me?!â
Wu Lie hurriedly explained. âFather! Youâve misunderstood. I didnât want him to come! I had no choice!â
He knew that he could not hide it and directly explained about his agreement with Su Wen.
âSo you betrayed your sister just for 1,000 taels of silver?â The veins on Wu Kuihuâs forehead bulged.
Wu Lie smiled bitterly. âAt that time, I was still thinking of getting him to be with my sister so that I could look for Yan Luoying.â Wu Kunhu was furious. âBullshit! You canât betray your sister for anything!â
As he spoke, Wu Kunhu grabbed Wu Lie and gave him a good slap at the back of his head!
He was not Su Changqing, who had no way to deal with Su Wen through physical violence. Wu Lie only felt a sharp pain before his world started spinning!
At this point, he could only save his own skin, âIâm not betraying Muyu. Sheâs also in love with Su Wen!â
âWhat??!!â It was as though an explosion had gone off in Wu Kunhuâs mind when he heard his son speaking.
Would there ever be an end? Wu Lie had just given up on Yan Luoying and now he was saying that Muyu liked Su Wen?
Why canât the both of you like someone that has not been engaged yet?!
Could it be that my Wu familyâs children are all cultivating the skill of snatching someone elseâs lovers?!
Wu Kunhuâs eyes were completely red, and his entire body exuded killing intent. He lambasted, âCall your younger sister over!â
âShe⦠she has already gone out⦠I think she went to look for Su Wen!â Wu Lie whispered.
Pa!
Wu Kunhuâs fist landed squarely on Wu Lieâs head.
However, Wu Lie didnât make a sound of pain this time.
His eyes directly rolled to the back of his head as he fainted!
Old Wu panted heavily as he looked at his son who was lying on the ground. He could not help but feel a little regretful.
This bloke was not even f*cking smart in the first place. He would not have crippled his mind with this hit, right?
At this time, while Su Wen was still not back in his residenceâ¦
It was surprisingly very lively.
In the guest hall, three women sat there waiting for him.
Yan Luoying, Zhao Wanrou, and Wu Muyu.
The atmosphere smelt of gunpowder. Meanwhile, there were three others who were peeking behind them at a side hall.
Ning Shuang, Xie Yiyi, and Cui Yumian.
Xie Yiyi smiled. âThis Yan Luoying has a heroic spirit in her eyes, but sheâs also very pretty. I donât know why my husband doesnât like her.â
Cui Yumian said in a low voice, âSheâs a General who has killed hundreds of thousands of people. Arenât you afraid?â
Xie Yiyi was originally from the Demonic Sect, so how could she care about this? She smiled and said, âShe could be considered the role model of us women.â
As she spoke, she looked at Ning Shuang and asked, âWho do you think is beautiful among the three?â
Ning Shuang pondered for a moment before deciding, âIf itâs me, I would prefer the Seventh Princess.â
At that moment, in the living room, Wu Muyu rolled his eyes and said, âYour Highness Wanrou, Sister Yan is here. Why donât the two of us leave? Otherwise, Sister Yan might be unhappy.â
She had to first pull up a united front.
Just as she finished speaking, Yan Luoying smiled and said, âSister Wu, if you have something to do, please leave first. Her Highness and I can stay here and wait for Su Wen.â
Compared to Zhao Wanrou, she hated Wu Muyu even more. Thus, she planned to squeeze her out first.
Wu Muyu pouted. âSister doesnât like me?â
Yan Luoying replied with a refreshing smile, âThatâs right.â
At that moment, Wu Muyu suddenly saw Su Wen enter from outside.
She stood up and said pitifully, âSister Yan is the mistress of the house and doesnât like me. If you want to chase me away, I naturally have to be obedient. I canât make Sister angry. I wonât come back again, this way, Sister Yan will be happy! Boohoo!â
Tears were streaming down her face.
Just then, Su Wen entered the living room. She walked to Su Wenâs side and said in a low voice, âBrother Su, Iâll be leaving first. These are the pastries I made for you. Donât forget to eat them. In the future, Muyu wonât make things difficult for Sister Yan anymore and will send someone to deliver the pastries. This way, Brother wonât be troubled.â
Yan Luoyingâs jaw dropped.
Why did it sound like she was the evildoer now?
Su Wen reached out to wipe her tears away and smiled. âWho said you canât come? You can come whenever you want in the future.â Yan Luoying immediately felt bitter. Wasnât Su Wen expressing that he was standing on Wu Muyuâs side?
As expected, Wu Muyu secretly gave her a provocative look.
âSu Wen!â Yan Luoying shouted.
Su Wen looked at her and smiled. âWhy are you here, Lady Yan?â The distance between them was clear at a glance. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She started to calculate, âIn Su Wenâs eyes, I am the least liked. Why donât I retreat and let these two fight instead?â
Yan Luoying knew very well that if she continued to stay, she would only create more trouble for no reason. Besides, there was still Zhao Wanrou. If she retreated, Wu Muyu would have to compete with her!
She smiled and said, âItâs nothing⦠I just heard you came back and wanted to check in on you. Since youâre safe and sound, Iâll take my leave first!â
