Chapter 139 Father, I Have Something To Tell You
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, “Let’s go eat some fried vermicelli. I haven’t eaten at the stall for many days and I’ve missed it.”
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, “You’ve been loitering outside for a long time. What exactly do you want?”
Wu Lie opened the door awkwardly and walked in.
“Father… I have something to tell you…” Wu Kunhu frowned, “Speak! What is it? Why are you being so wishy-washy?” Wu Lie stole a glance at him and whispered, “These few days, I’ll find some time to invite Su Wen over for dinner.”
Wu Kaihu laughed out loud. “What sort of problem is this? If you want to treat him to a meal, just treat him. It can’t be that you need me to accompany you, right?”
That was true. With Wu Kunhu’s 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. “Father… 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 you’re helping me…”
When Wu Kunhu saw him like this, he shook his head and said with a smile, “That’s it? Don’t worry, I’ll give you some face! I’ll accompany you both!”
Even after he said that, Wu Lie still did not move.
“Well… well…”
“Is there anything else? Can you just say everything you need?” Wu Kunhu was getting impatient.
Wu Lie steeled his heart and threw caution to the wind. He quickly said, “I want my sister to come along too!”
Wu Kunhu: “Huh?”
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!
“Why?” Wu Kunhu frowned as he asked.
Wu Lie told him the truth. “Because I promised Su Wen that I would invite him over for a family dinner with my sister!”
Wu Kuihu’s expression darkened as he asked, “Didn’t you say that you won’t 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 can’t bet on your younger sister’s 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?!”
Wu Lie hurriedly explained. “Father! You’ve misunderstood. I didn’t want him to come! I had no choice!”
He knew that he could not hide it and directly explained about his agreement with Su Wen.
“So you betrayed your sister just for 1,000 taels of silver?” The veins on Wu Kuihu’s forehead bulged.
Wu Lie smiled bitterly. “At that time, I was still thinking of getting him to be with my sister so that I could look for Yan Luoying.” Wu Kunhu was furious. “Bullshit! You can’t betray your sister for anything!”
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, “I’m not betraying Muyu. She’s also in love with Su Wen!”
“What??!!” It was as though an explosion had gone off in Wu Kunhu’s 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 can’t the both of you like someone that has not been engaged yet?!
Could it be that my Wu family’s children are all cultivating the skill of snatching someone else’s lovers?!
Wu Kunhu’s eyes were completely red, and his entire body exuded killing intent. He lambasted, “Call your younger sister over!”
“She… she has already gone out… I think she went to look for Su Wen!” Wu Lie whispered.
Pa!
Wu Kunhu’s fist landed squarely on Wu Lie’s head.
However, Wu Lie didn’t 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 residence…
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. “This Yan Luoying has a heroic spirit in her eyes, but she’s also very pretty. I don’t know why my husband doesn’t like her.”
Cui Yumian said in a low voice, “She’s a General who has killed hundreds of thousands of people. Aren’t you afraid?”
Xie Yiyi was originally from the Demonic Sect, so how could she care about this? She smiled and said, “She could be considered the role model of us women.”
As she spoke, she looked at Ning Shuang and asked, “Who do you think is beautiful among the three?”
Ning Shuang pondered for a moment before deciding, “If it’s me, I would prefer the Seventh Princess.”
At that moment, in the living room, Wu Muyu rolled his eyes and said, “Your Highness Wanrou, Sister Yan is here. Why don’t the two of us leave? Otherwise, Sister Yan might be unhappy.”
She had to first pull up a united front.
Just as she finished speaking, Yan Luoying smiled and said, “Sister Wu, if you have something to do, please leave first. Her Highness and I can stay here and wait for Su Wen.”
Compared to Zhao Wanrou, she hated Wu Muyu even more. Thus, she planned to squeeze her out first.
Wu Muyu pouted. “Sister doesn’t like me?”
Yan Luoying replied with a refreshing smile, “That’s right.”
At that moment, Wu Muyu suddenly saw Su Wen enter from outside.
She stood up and said pitifully, “Sister Yan is the mistress of the house and doesn’t like me. If you want to chase me away, I naturally have to be obedient. I can’t make Sister angry. I won’t come back again, this way, Sister Yan will be happy! Boohoo!”
Tears were streaming down her face.
Just then, Su Wen entered the living room. She walked to Su Wen’s side and said in a low voice, “Brother Su, I’ll be leaving first. These are the pastries I made for you. Don’t forget to eat them. In the future, Muyu won’t make things difficult for Sister Yan anymore and will send someone to deliver the pastries. This way, Brother won’t be troubled.”
Yan Luoying’s jaw dropped.
Why did it sound like she was the evildoer now?
Su Wen reached out to wipe her tears away and smiled. “Who said you can’t come? You can come whenever you want in the future.” Yan Luoying immediately felt bitter. Wasn’t Su Wen expressing that he was standing on Wu Muyu’s side?
As expected, Wu Muyu secretly gave her a provocative look.
“Su Wen!” Yan Luoying shouted.
Su Wen looked at her and smiled. “Why are you here, Lady Yan?” The distance between them was clear at a glance. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She started to calculate, ‘In Su Wen’s eyes, I am the least liked. Why don’t I retreat and let these two fight instead?’
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, “It’s nothing… I just heard you came back and wanted to check in on you. Since you’re safe and sound, I’ll take my leave first!”
