Chapter 73: Su Wen’s Helper
Zhao Jin heard Su Wen’s explanation and asked curiously, “Young Master, what do you mean?”
“We are going to the Martial Inspectorate right now to get people to arrest her and Xie Dajia!” Su Wen smiled. “If they fall into my hands, won’t I be able to do whatever I want?”
“The young master is wise and mighty, his wisdom unparalleled in the world.” Zhao Jin’s usual flattery followed close after.
Su Wen burst into laughter.
Zhao Jin spurred his horse and the carriage headed straight for the Martial Inspectorate.
After entering, Su Wen went to seek Feng Baichuan.
Feng Baichuan was reading a book when Su Wen stepped forward and cupped his hands. “Sir Feng, I have something to report.”
Feng Baichuan glanced at him and asked, “What is it?”
“I think we should move to capture Honorable Xie and Miss Yiyi. These two people have ulterior motives and are trying to get close to our Great Zhou Royal Family!”
Feng Baichuan put down the book and looked at Su Wen. He smiled and said, “I see you’ve also made great progress in your cultivation recently. Why don’t you tell me your reasoning?”
Su Wen immediately voiced his thoughts.
To Su Wen’s surprise, Feng Baichuan did not immediately send anyone out after hearing what he said.
Instead, his fingers kept tapping the table.
After a while, Feng Baichuan shook his head slightly and said, “We can’t capture them!”
“Why?” Su Wen was puzzled. The other party seemed to be plotting something against the princes, so why couldn’t they capture the duo?
Feng Baichuan smiled and said, “Don’t you know that we are part of the Royal Court? We have to follow the rules when we do things, and we have to have evidence when we arrest people. Everything you said is just speculation, so we can’t move based on that!”
Su Wen frowned and said, “Then if she really gets close to the prince and has ulterior motives, wouldn’t it be too late by then?”
Feng Baichuan said calmly, “That’s not something you should worry about. If there’s nothing else, you may leave!”
Su Wen frowned. Feng Baichuan’s attitude confused him.
Logically speaking, the Martial Inspectorate would not have allowed such a situation to occur.
After leaving Feng Baichuan’s place, Su Wen fell into deep thought.
“Return to the residence and look for my father!”
For unsolvable matters, just ask Su Changqing!
Su Wen made his decision.
Very soon, the carriage arrived at the Prime Minister’s residence and Su Wen entered. This time, Su Changqing was not in the bedroom but in the study. When father and son met, Su Wen quickly explained the situation.
Su Changqing laughed loudly when he heard this. “Haha, you’re quite quick-witted. But aren’t you underestimating the royal family a bit too much? Not to mention anything else, you even have an Earth Rank expert Zhao Jin by your side. Which royal family descendant will not have hidden experts by their side? It’s fine if there’s no problem with this woman, but if there really is a problem, then I’m afraid she’ll be the first to suffer.
Not to mention, it’s not like these princes don’t know that there’s a problem with her! It’s just that this bait is truly tempting, and all of them intend to eat the bait and not bite the hook. Don’t look down on the royal descendants, all of them have thoughts as deep as the sea.”
After speaking, Su Changqing revealed a disdainful expression and said, “As for that Honorable Xie, perhaps she has some tricks up her sleeve. But when it comes to schemes and plots, how could she possibly be able to play against these royal children that have schemed against others since they were young?”
Su Wen now understood the situation, “So I’m the only one who thinks no one can tell?”
Su Changqing smiled and said, “Things have been going too smoothly for you recently. Don’t look down on anyone in the capital. Acting cautiously is the foundation of being undefeated for a long time.
You’re pretending to be a domineering bastard outside, but you’re skilled in scheming within. This is originally a very good strategy, and it’s fine as long as you maintain it. This time, you acted a bit impatient, but it’s not a big deal. Just pay attention next time.”
“Then what about this matter?” Su Wen asked.
“What do you mean?” Su Changqing was puzzled. “What does this have to do with you? Just ignore it.”
Su Wen suddenly acted slightly shy. “But, your son also wants to try the bait.”
Su Changqing’s jaw dropped.
After a moment, he exploded. “You brat, do you lack women?”
Su Wen sighed. “That woman is different. She’s really different. She can make men act rashly!”
“I don’t care! I don’t care! Hurry up and get lost! My family is about to have dinner. I didn’t make your share. Go home and eat by yourself!” Su Changqing started to chase him away.
He couldn’t be bothered to scheme against Su Wen.
“I miss my mother!” Su Wen said, “I want to see my mother!” He then turned around and ran out.
Su Changqing could only shake his head slightly and sigh. “At least this kid has some filial piety.”
By the time the Su family gathered for dinner, Su Wen had already left. He really did not stay back for dinner.
Su Changqing, together with his wives and Su Nuannuan had dinner together.
Halfway through, Su Changqing suddenly saw Su Wen’s mother secretly crying.
“What’s wrong?” Su Changqing asked.
Su Wen’s mother picked up her handkerchief and gently wiped her tears. She said in a low voice, “It’s nothing. I just thought of my poor son. He’s not getting any younger, but Husband didn’t even tell me to arrange a marriage for him. It wasn’t easy for His Majesty to bestow a marriage on him, but he was still unwilling. This proposal has been dragged on and on, and I don’t even know when he can get married. Now that he has met the woman he likes, his own father didn’t even say anything to help him think of a solution. I’m just a housewife and don’t have much ability, so I can only worry for him.”
Su Changqing: “…”
Su Wen’s mother liked to spoil her children. To put it bluntly, why Su Wen was able to live freely since he was young and cause trouble was greatly attributed to his mother’s over-protectiveness.
“Hmph, Father is not good! He’s not getting a wife for Brother! There’ll be no one to sleep with Nuannuan!” Su Nuannuan said through gritted teeth.
Su Changqing immediately felt a headache coming on. He could ignore Su Wen’s mother since he was never one to listen to his wife. However, this daughter of his was really precious to him.
To put it bluntly, even if his three sons Su Wen, Su Cheng, and Su Yu were beaten up by others, none of them could compare to the pain he would feel if his daughter were to trip and fall down.
“Your brother has already moved away. Even if he has a wife, she can’t sleep with you!” Su Changqing quickly consoled her gently.
Su Nuannuan looked at Su Changqing with a pout. Suddenly, she burst into tears.
“It’s all Daddy’s fault. He didn’t let Big Brother stay at home, and Big Sister Cui moved away too! I, I, I… I’ll go to Big Brother’s house, there’s no one here to accompany me! Anyway, I don’t care, I want Big Brother to marry a new wife!”
If Su Wen saw this, he would definitely sigh with emotion. The big bag of snacks he obtained through the lucky draw was indeed not for nothing!
However, Su Nuannuan’s logic was naturally not as good as Su Wen and Su Changqing. In fact, she even sounded a little incoherent. However, she possessed an ultimate weapon the other two did not have. Can’t out-talk the other party? Just cry! Who needs logic?
This cry made Su Changqing a little frustrated.
He also understood that Su Wen’s trip to the backyard was not in vain. He was looking for helpers!
This Su Nuannuan was even the apple of the eye of his other wives. Usually, she was like a happy flower, bring joy and happiness wherever she went. Seeing Su Nuannuan bawling at the top of her lungs, the other madams could not sit still as well.
“Husband, which family is she from? If she can’t be a wife, she can just be another concubine for Su Wen. It’s not a big deal.”
“That’s right. Yan Luoying’s wedding date is still uncertain. She can’t keep dragging Su Wen along.”
“Nuannuan, don’t cry. Your father will agree immediately.”
Su Changqing sighed. One could have an illustrious reputation, but one moment of carelessness would lead to their downfall. This time, he had really been masterfully played by Su Wen.
