Chapter 132: Outrageous Misunderstanding (Part )
Su Liuyue looked at Zhou Yunke, wondering why he mentioned her cousin again.

She remembered the loneliness in his tone when he mentioned her cousin last time, and paused, then said, "I'm still hesitating."

Logically speaking, the Zhou family is the newly-promoted royal family, and they were just commoners like them before. Even if the situation in a large family is more complicated than that of an ordinary family, it shouldn't be as ruthless as that of the royal family, right?

But every family has its own problems, and nothing can be predicted.

What is certain is that Zhou Yunke’s family atmosphere is not very good. None of his brothers can be trusted, and he doesn’t have a good relationship with his cousins.

He always inquires about her and her cousin's situation like this. Is he jealous of their good relationship?
Then she does have a good relationship with Xue Wenjin and others.

Su Liuyue said openly, "I wanted to tell him earlier, but now there are less than ten days left before the imperial examination. I am worried that my third cousin will not be able to adjust his mentality in such a short time, but... Dean Yang of Yangzheng Academy already knows about Bai He's situation. Bai He has no relatives in the capital, so we can only tell Dean Yang about this.

Some news has gradually spread among the people, and I am worried that if my third cousin hears about this from other people, he will be hit even harder."

She really does care about her third cousin.

Zhou Yunke pursed his lips slightly and felt a little suffocated in his heart, as if a huge rock was pressing on him.

But the woman in front of him looked up at him and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness? When is the best time for me to tell my third cousin about this?"

Zhou Yunke felt that he was asking for trouble.

In fact, what does his third cousin do to him?
He was not the most talented, but he had a calm temperament. The last time he went to his house for a banquet, although he only came out for the last quarter of an hour, Rong Ruo was present throughout the whole process.

He said that he had made a point of observing Xue Sanlang. While everyone was either fawning, nervous, timid, or trying to be in the spotlight, he just sat quietly in his seat and treated people with great propriety, which was rare at his age.

But so what?
Among all the talents, he is still not the most outstanding one.

Su Liuyue waited for a long time but Zhou Yunke didn't answer. She didn't care. Just as she was about to end the topic, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly came, "Officialdom is treacherous and unpredictable. Those who want to gain a foothold in officialdom need unparalleled intelligence and tenacity. If your third cousin's character is shaken just because of this incident and he can't pass the imperial examination, it means that he is not very suitable for officialdom."

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned.

Although this is indeed true, this answer... is too cold and ruthless.

Well, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have the same yearning for family affection as ordinary people, but being in his position, the things he considers are still different from those of ordinary people.

This made Su Liuyue, who wanted to chat with him about family matters and get closer to her superiors, coughed quietly and said, "Your Highness is right. I will also take this into consideration."

Zhou Yunke keenly sensed the change in Su Liuyue's tone. If just now she seemed to be telling him about her troubles as if she were treating her friend, now she returned to her previous politeness and perfunctory attitude.

Feeling even more depressed, Zhou Yunke took a deep breath and said calmly, "You are so worried that your third cousin won't pass the imperial examination, but your third cousin said that if he passes, he will marry you?"

Many candidates seem to have this obsession.

When I pass the imperial examination, I will marry you in a grand ceremony with three matchmakers, six betrothals, and a sedan chair carried by eight people.

Is this also the reason why she is so nervous about her third cousin's imperial examination?
Su Liuyue suddenly stopped and looked at him in some, no, extreme surprise. It was the first time that she showed such an uncontrollable expression in front of him.

It was as if he had said something that could not be more ridiculous.

After a while, Su Liuyue finally found her voice and said in disbelief, "Your Highness, where did you hear those rumors? You think my third cousin and I have...that kind of relationship?"

He added: "My third cousin and I have the purest relationship as cousins! Even if you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you cannot say anything nonsense!" Although in ancient times, cousins ​​could get married.

But for Su Liuyue, who has a modern soul, she still feels uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart when someone pairs her with Xue Wenjin.

Zhou Yunke was stunned for a moment, and the huge rock that had been weighing on his heart seemed to disappear all of a sudden with her words.

My heart and my whole body felt indescribably light.

Although this feeling is not as good as the joy after winning a battle, it is more relaxing, private and... joyful.

He subconsciously lowered his eyelids, as if trying to hide some emotion in his eyes. His hands hanging by his side unconsciously clenched into fists and said, "When I went to the Su family's door to look for you earlier, I heard your cousin say that he was willing to support you for the rest of your life."

Su Liuyue opened her eyes slightly. She never expected that this misunderstanding would start from here.

She said that Xue Wenbo's loud voice would cause trouble sooner or later.

She said quickly, "I had just been rejected by the Zheng family. Wasn't my reputation very bad? Well... it's not much better now. My cousin was worried that I wouldn't be able to get married, so he said that casually. Besides, that's my eldest cousin, not my third cousin. My eldest cousin is married and has children!"

Besides, does she need to be supported by others?

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Yunke's hands unconsciously loosened and tightened, and he said, "You told me before that you were planning to put your marriage on the agenda..."

My God, what a ridiculous misunderstanding this is!

"At that time, didn't His Highness find out that my mother and her friends had brought snakes into the Princess's residence? I was afraid that they would implicate me. Besides, I have no feelings for the Su family. The Su family is not smart, but they are full of ambition. Even if His Highness generously forgives them now, something bad will definitely happen in the future.

I want to leave the Su family as soon as possible, so shouldn't I get married as soon as possible?"

Zhou Yunke's eyelids trembled slightly, and he finally looked up at her and said in a calm voice: "So have you found someone to marry?"

What tone is this?
Finding a marriage partner is not like cutting melons or buying vegetables. You can't find one just by saying so.

Su Liuyue felt that her pain point had been touched. She glanced at him dimly and said, "I have been looking for it, but I have been busy with store affairs and investigating cases recently. How can I have so much time to look for it?"

So, as a superior, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?
If he had given her more support, she might have found it long ago!

However, Zhou Yunke didn't seem to notice the resentment in her eyes. He hummed lightly and turned to leave.

As if he had not just misunderstood her and her third cousin outrageously!
Su Liuyue stared at Zhou Yunke with an absurd look on her face. For the first time, she felt speechless towards her superior.

What she didn't know was that as soon as Zhou Yunke turned around, the corners of his mouth, which had been suppressed by him, curled up slightly. For some unknown reason, it seemed that he could no longer conceal it for a moment.

It seemed that if he had turned around a step later, the woman in front of him would have noticed that he couldn't help but smile.

He had just taken two steps forward when several soldiers strode towards him, carrying a man.

When he saw him, the curve of Zhou Yunke's mouth immediately straightened into a straight line, and a hint of coldness appeared in his dark phoenix eyes.

The misunderstanding was solved very quickly! I said, this misunderstanding won’t last long!
