Chapter 75: Meeting Su Shao!
, I will always love you, and you must live well.”How are you doingChen Zixuan looked at him in surprise, a surge of unease washing over him like a tidal wave.But before she could ask, Zhong Yunjie ha...Several ministers, with smiles on their faces and small gifts in hand, looked at Su Wenhao.
Su Wenhao bowed, holding the box and slowly walked toward the Fifth Prince's Mansion...
"You said the Fifth Prince will meet young Master Su, right"
"I don't know about that, it depends on Su Gongzi's fortune... By the way, what is that in your hand"
"Hee hee, of course it's a good thing. When has Young Master Su ever been stingy"
"Let me see, let me see..."
"No..."
"Be generous! Come on, come on, let's have some fun together, show me what you got, don't be so stingy…"
There, several ministers were all jostling and scrambling to see the gifts Su Wenhao had given them each...
Here, Su Wenhao has already spoken to the butler...
"Please inform the steward, that it is Su Wenhao, the eldest son of the Su family, requesting an audience. Here is my calling card." Su Wenhao politely handed the card to the steward.
"Su... alright, Young Master Su, please wait a moment. I'll go report to the King."
"Thank you." Su Wenhao bowed.
Nearby, Huang Gonggong and the Minister of State spoke in cool tones: "I wonder who it was. It turned out to be Young Master Su, the eldest son of the wealthiest man in Jiangnan! No wonder there was so much commotion over there..."
"I've met both Master Huang and the Prime Minister before, I wonder how you two are doing lately My father often mentions you two to me, saying that if he ever sees you, he must personally invite you to the Su residence for tea. If we could have the honor of your presence, my father would be overjoyed." Su Wenhao said with a gentle smile.
Huai Ping presented two hefty gifts on the side.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't find it too shabby!" Su Wenhao smiled at the Prime Minister and Huang Gonggong.
Huang Gonggong opened it and gasped, then immediately broke into a smile as he looked at Su Wenhao: “Young Master Su is truly the number one young master in Tian Du. Not only is he generous, but he's also so humble and polite. It’s truly invaluable! He's a role model for all young men.”
"Where, where, all this has to thank our Emperor in Tiandu, for taking care of the lives of the people. Of course, we also have to thank Huang Gonggong and the Prime Minister…" Su Wenhao held the box in his hands.
"Young Master Su's gift must be extraordinary..."
"Just some common trinkets, they're hardly fit for the Royal Prince's eyes."
"Mr. Su is being too modest. Just this pearl you gave me, old man, is already a rare treasure in the world. I imagine the one you gave to the Prince must be even more extraordinary. I wonder if I would have the opportunity to see it someday" The Chancellor's eyes were fixed on the box in Su Wenhao's hand.
This issue is obviously unreasonable. Normally, people wouldn't open gifts given to a prince by others, let alone when the giver is a seasoned chancellor who has spent years navigating the political landscape...
What kind of medicine is the Prime Minister selling in his gourd, and what does he intend to do
Even Huang Gonggong, who was used to palace intrigues, couldn't guess the meaning behind the Prime Minister's current intentions. Huang Gonggong hid Su Wenhao's gift in his sleeve and watched as the Prime Minister and Su Wenhao remained silent...
Su Wenhao smiled and looked at the Prime Minister: "Prime Minister, why don't you let the Fifth Prince decide how"
Lord Murong narrowed his eyes, looking at the young man smiling at him…
This young man appears harmless and innocent, but he's actually quite cunning. His mind is sharp and he's very thoughtful...
"Master Su, the Royal Prince requests your presence!" The appearance of the steward interrupted the confrontation between the Prime Minister and Master Su.
The chancellor withdrew his gaze listlessly. Su Wenhao politely smiled at the butler: "Thank you, Butler, for leading the way."
"Master Su, please—"
"Thank you, Butler—"
"Su Gongzi is too polite—"
The housekeeper gazed at Su Wenhao, dressed in fine silk robes and sporting a warm, gentle smile. He couldn't help but admire the esteemed First Son of the Rui Tian Dynasty. Indeed, his every gesture and manner revealed an extraordinary cultivation and bearing that was beyond compare to ordinary families...
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Master Su has been waiting here, the Prince will be here in a moment—" The steward brought Su Wenhao to the hall.
"Good." Su Wenhao placed the box on the side table, and two maidservants brought tea and refreshments before retreating. Su Wenhao sipped the tea from the Prince's Mansion, quietly sitting in a chair waiting for Rui Tianling.
"My lord, the eldest son of the Su family is already waiting in the hall…" The housekeeper knocked on the study door and entered after receiving permission. He knelt on the ground and said.
"Hmm." A cold voice came from above him.
This...does the prince mean to ignore Young Master Su and have him wait in the hall
The butler blinked his eyes.
"How's it going" the cold voice echoed again.
The steward bowed his head: "Doctor Yun has been frequenting the palace grounds with a physician from a pharmacy recently. However, when I arrived, that physician had already passed away. All we could find was that he had visited Minnan Island before. The rest is unknown. Please punish me, Your Highness..."
A Nannan Island Isn't that where the Fourth Brother is currently defending Could this have something to do with Nannan Island But why would they harm the guards at my manor Did they already know I was going to Nannan Island No, the news shouldn't have leaked this fast. Could there be a traitor within the court
The sky is overcast with a biting cold.
The butler knelt down, swallowing nervously...
"Go down and receive ten lashes."
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
After the steward left, Sixth Prince came out from the inner room: "Fifth Brother, that country bumpkin seems off. Should we go take a look"
Ruitianling walked to Chen Zixuan's bedside and looked down at her for almost an incense stick of time...
Chen Zixuan on the bed had a slight blush on her cheeks, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she clenched the blanket in her hands as if in great pain...
Rui Tianling reached out and touched Chen Zixuan's forehead. Hmm There wasn't a fever...
"How are you doing, Sixth Brother Is that country bumpkin alright I've been watching her since this morning, and she's just like this…" The Sixth Prince saw Rui Tian staring blankly for a long time and couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed up his panda eyes and asked impatiently.
"It's nothing serious, probably just a dream. Sixth brother, you should go rest." Rui Tianling looked at the panda-eyed Sixth Prince and said.
"No, I'd rather keep watching her..."
Prince RuiTian scrutinized the Sixth Prince, this younger brother had come to the Fifth Prince's manor early this morning to see this woman, wiping sweat and talking to her. Could it be that he has taken a liking to her
A strange feeling welled up in Rui Tianling's heart...
This smell made him feel very bad...
Seeing Rui Tianling's displeased expression, Rui Tianyu explained, "Fifth brother, don't misunderstand. Yue sister and she had a misunderstanding, so she accidentally made her like this... I... I don't want Yue sister to know and be hurt afterward... You also know Yue sister's kind nature, after knowing about this, she would definitely blame herself... I don't want her to be unhappy, so..."
It turns out it was to atone for Murong Yue...
Ruitian Ling raised an eyebrow...
Well... he felt better again...
"Five Brother... Five Brother, don't misunderstand me... I... I have nothing to do with that country bumpkin, really... Five Brother, where are you going"
"See Su Shao!" Rui Tian looked up and said without turning around...
In the main hall of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Huai Ping stamped his feet angrily: "Too much! Simply outrageous! Young Master, we..."speaking, she cried again....A house servant, clutching his time, scrambled before Murong Yue and Rui Tianyu: "This subordinate deserves death for failing to protect the Third Miss. I failed to protec...
