Chapter 137 You Have to Believe in Me (Part )
Although Zhou Yunke was mentally prepared, he still frowned slightly in disgust.
Fortunately, the servant who was serving nearby immediately ran up and quickly cleaned up the mess on the table and floor.
Rong Ruo, however, didn't care about these things. He quickly turned to look at his prince who was always trying to shock people with his words. He even stuttered, "Your Highness, what...what do you mean? Do you have a woman you want to marry?"
As he said that, he immediately reacted, raised his eyebrows and said: "Could it be Miss Su?!"
Zhou Yunke's expression remained unchanged, but as it was his first time talking about this topic with others, he still felt a little uncomfortable and just hummed lightly.
The expression on Rong Ruo's face was like the rising sun, the brightest star in the night sky, the roundest and most dazzling pearl on the bottom of the sea. He was so happy that he couldn't speak. "Oh my God! Your Highness, you... you actually got it. Your brain can actually turn around on this kind of thing. I... I am really surprised. It's simply like a cast iron tree blooming, catching the moon in the water, a sow climbing a tree, an old cow eating tender grass..."
No matter how calm Zhou Yunke was, the veins on his forehead couldn't help but twitch.
Let’s forget about the first two words, but what do the last two words mean?
Fortunately, Rong Ruo was Rong Ruo after all, and he quickly regained his rationality. He coughed twice to calm himself down, and then muttered, "That's right. Your Highness is twenty-four this year, and Miss Su is only sixteen. Isn't this just an old cow eating young grass..."
Zhou Yunke finally couldn't stand it anymore, he put the cup down suddenly, and said in a cold voice: "If Mr. Rong can't solve my confusion..."
"Hey! Your Highness, wait a minute! I am the one who is talking nonsense!"
His Highness had finally taken one step, and he wished he could take the remaining ninety-nine steps for His Highness!
Moreover, His Highness was willing to be honest with him about this matter!
This means that Your Highness really doesn’t know what to do!
However, compared with His Highness, he is no better than the others, both of them are just old bachelors who just live from day to day.
But! As His Highness's confidant, how could he say that he couldn't do it!
Rong Ruo immediately put on a serious look and said, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance and needs to be carefully considered. After all, Miss Su is different from ordinary women. If she doesn't want to marry willingly, forcing her will only backfire."
After all, he had only looked at her with a little more eagerness before.
After that, whenever she saw him in Jingzhao Prefecture, she would turn around and run away.
Seeing that what he said seemed to be reliable, Zhou Yunke raised his eyebrows slightly, looking like he was listening attentively.
"I think that Your Highness might as well use the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao! This time, Jingzhao Prefecture successfully captured the murderer who burned Wei Wulang to death, so that Wei Wulang was comforted in his netherworld. Wei Yushi was so grateful to Your Highness that he sent someone to deliver a thank-you gift when he received the news early this morning.
It just so happens that the Wei family had shown goodwill to Your Highness before, and they must have the intention of relying on Your Highness."
The more Rong Ruo spoke, the brighter his eyes sparkled, "Miss Su's uncle, Xue Shiyu, works at the Censorate. Your Highness might as well take this opportunity to ask Wei Shiyu to act as a matchmaker and bring Xue Shiyu under your command!
Isn't Miss Su's third cousin also going to take the imperial examination? If he passes the examination, Your Highness might as well show some favor and firmly grasp him in your hands!
Miss Su attaches great importance to the friendship between her and the Xue family. When the Xue family submits to Your Highness, Your Highness can ask for Miss Su's hand in marriage. There is no need to worry that Miss Su will not agree!"
The veins on Zhou Yunke's forehead jumped again.
At this moment, he deeply regretted asking Rong Ruo for advice on this matter.
I also understand why Zhou Jingchen is always mocking him, because his subordinates are just a bunch of rough guys who only know how to fight and kill.
He stood up suddenly and gave Rong Ruo a cold look, "Mr. Rong, this suggestion is very good. There is no need to mention it again in the future."
Then he added, "Mr. Rong doesn't need to intervene in this matter. I will figure it out myself."
Then, he strode out.
Only Rong Ruo was left with a confused look on his face.
No, he thought his suggestion was really good. Why did His Highness have such a look of... disgust? !
……
Having successfully solved a case, Su Liuyue went home that night and had a good sleep.
The next day, she got up early and went straight to Yangzheng Academy.
After discussing with Zhou Yunke yesterday, Su Liuyue decided not to rush to tell Xue Wenjin about Bai He's affairs. She wanted to test whether he knew about it first. If not, she would let him prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
She had already asked the people in Jingzhao Prefecture to keep the news of Bai He's accident secret as much as possible. She also asked some people who knew about it to ask them not to tell Xue Wenjin for the time being.
As a woman, she could not enter and leave Yangzheng Academy at will, so she and Xue Wenjin made an appointment to meet at a teahouse near Yangzheng Academy. After she arrived at the teahouse and sat for a while, Xue Wenjin came.
Su Liuyue stood up happily and was about to greet him, but she saw that Xue Wenjin's face had no smile at all, and even showed a bit of seriousness.
Her heart skipped a beat, and when he came closer, she asked cautiously, "Third cousin, what's wrong with you?"
Could it be that he heard about Bai He's story...
Xue Wenjin glanced at her and said indifferently: "Liu Yue, sit down first."
Su Liuyue looked at him secretly.
That’s not right. He looked like this more because of her, not because of Bai He.
Her mind raced, and she immediately understood the reason. She sat down obediently, smiled ingratiatingly, and said, "Third cousin, are you angry because I worked for the Crown Prince without telling you?"
Xue Wenjin originally picked up the teapot to pour tea for her, but paused when he heard this.
His cousin is still as smart as ever.
He pursed his lips, put down the teapot and said in a deep voice: "It's good that you know. Do you know how complicated my mood has been these days? It's just that I saw that you have been busy investigating the case, and I thought I couldn't disturb you, so I refrained from asking you.
I heard that you went to investigate the case again yesterday? Or did you do something dangerous like ambush and capture the murderer?"
Su Liuyue couldn't help but wonder, "Third cousin, how did you know?"
Hasn't he been staying in the academy all the time?
Xue Wenjin was almost laughing at her, "Do you think that I really don't care about what happens at home when I am in the academy? I have been worried about you recently, and I would ask Pingbai to go home and inquire about the situation from time to time. You went out so late yesterday, and your mother was very dissatisfied, and kept saying that Jingzhao Prefecture is inhumane.
If you are really working for Lu Shaoyin, then forget it. Lu Shaoyin can't keep you away and not let you leave.
Who would have thought that you are... such a big shot? Are you sure you can get away with it?"
Speaking of this, Xue Wenjin couldn't help but feel a little worried again.
He finally understood why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent him a message.
Also, that day in Wei Wulang's yard, the way His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at him was definitely not just a simple scrutiny.
Although he became the crown prince halfway through, how could a person who could sit firmly in that position have a simple mind?
Liu Yue said before that she was helping out in Jingzhao Prefecture now only because Jingzhao Prefecture was short of staff. After the Enke, she would be able to withdraw once she had more manpower.
Most of the cases in Jingzhao Prefecture during this period were solved by Liu Yue. Because of these cases, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reputation in the court and among the people has become better and better. He is now worried that will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really be willing to let Liu Yue go when the time comes?
Su Liuyue could more or less guess what he was worried about, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you may not know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a good person."
Xue Wenjin was slightly stunned. He could see that Liu Yue really trusted him.
"But I also know that you are so worried because you care about me."
Su Liuyue smiled and said, "Third cousin, you have to believe me too."
Xue Wenjin looked at her for a while, then sighed helplessly and said, "Anyway, you know your limits. You will get married eventually, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will marry a Crown Princess. If people knew that you have been in private contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you will be the only one who will be hurt."
How could she not know?
In ancient times, people were always particularly harsh on women. The original owner knew this when Zheng Jiulang broke off her engagement with her.
She was determined to comfort Xue Wenjin, so she picked up the teapot and poured him tea attentively.
Suddenly, a familiar and annoying voice came from behind, "Hey, isn't this the third daughter of the Su family? I came here to have a cup of tea and met such an ungrateful woman. How unlucky!"
Thank you for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets! It's too late today, I'm lazy, I'll make a detailed list tomorrow, hehe~
A certain prince: You are really just a bunch of rough guys, not as thoughtful as me!
