Chapter 167: Make Her Willing (Part )
This almost frightened Xue Lingwan. Just as her body froze and she was about to open her mouth to scream, Su Liuyue quickly and ruthlessly covered her mouth and whispered, "Don't worry, he's my acquaintance."

Ersi and Eran behind them also quickly covered the mouths of Xue Lingwan's two maids.

Then, under Xue Lingwan's shocked gaze, Su Liuyue frowned and looked at Feng Qi in front of him, "Why did you come out suddenly?"

She knew that ever since the King of Wei had set his sights on her, Zhou Yunke had sent Feng Qi to secretly protect her.

Feng Qi is a bit simple-minded, but very dedicated. Except for the last time when King Wei came directly to her, he has never taken the initiative to appear in front of her.

Feng Qi opened his mouth, looking confused, "Is there anyone in the Xue family who doesn't know...the relationship between you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Feng Yang clearly said that the Xue family already knew everything, so he didn't need to hide anything.

Isn't this obviously a trick to trick him?
Seeing Xue Lingwan's instantly horrified expression, Su Liuyue: "..."

Who told him that everyone in the Xue family knew about this?
What's more, she and Zhou Yunke had a normal cooperative relationship. When he said that, it seemed as if they were having some kind of affair!
Fortunately, the person who is by her side now is Xue Lingwan. If it were Yun, she would probably be nagged for another ten days or half a month.

Su Liuyue raised her hand and rubbed her forehead with a headache, and said, "Except for my third cousin, no one else in the Xue family knows anything yet. What's the matter with you coming out all of a sudden? Tell me now."

Feng Qi quickly covered his mouth like a child who had done something wrong, and a muffled voice came from behind his palm, "Yes... His Highness is here, and asked me to ask Miss Su San to go out for a while."

Zhou Yunke is here?
Su Liuyue was stunned.

There doesn't seem to be any major cases recently? And it's so late, what is he doing here?
Su Liuyue nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he turned to Xue Lingwan, whose pupils were shaking. He had a headache again and could only whisper, "Don't let me have any ideas. I have to go out for something. Don't say anything yet. Wait for me in my room. I will tell you everything in a while. If you really can't wait, you can ask Er Si and Er An first."

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the door.

Xue Lingwan, who had been staring at her cousin's back, said: "..."

Does her cousin have any misunderstanding about her?
Ahhh, if she can still wait when encountering such a thing, she is not Xue Lingwan!
As Su Liuyue walked out of the Xue family's gate, she saw an elegant and low-key black carriage parked quietly at the entrance of the alley.

She had seen that carriage outside the Su family's door before. It was Zhou Yunke's carriage.

She walked over quickly, stopped in front of the carriage, bowed and said, "My daughter greets His Highness. Your Highness, is there anything important that brings you here so late?"

The man who had been leaning back in the carriage with his eyes closed opened his eyes slowly when he heard the familiar voice. His thin lips slightly raised, but the smile at the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of bitterness and helplessness.

Before he could figure out how to treat her, news came that she was looking for a husband.

God knows, when he heard the news, his heart was in indescribable confusion. It was the first time in all these years that he felt suffocated, depressed, and deeply frightened.

She had told him very frankly before that she would find a suitable husband as soon as possible.

He also knew clearly that he had never been considered as her husband candidate.

He had been suppressing his emotions for so many days, but finally he couldn't help it and came to Xue's house to find her today.

Seeing that there was no sound coming from the carriage for a long time, Su Liuyue asked curiously, "Your Highness?"

"Ah."

A lazy and pleasant voice came, and after a pause, the voice said again: "Get on the carriage first."

Although it was night time now, she specifically told the doorman when she came out that she was just going out for a while and would be back soon, so he should not make any noise.

But there’s no guarantee that someone you know might pass by unexpectedly.

Su Liuyue didn't think much about it, responded, and got on the carriage as if she was familiar with the route.

Without blinking, he watched the woman in front of him sit down opposite him, only an arm's length away. Zhou Yunke's eyes were deep and he smiled faintly, "I heard that your third cousin was admitted to high school and his ranking was not low."

Although Su Liuyue was a little surprised that he suddenly mentioned this, she was still very proud in her heart. She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Of course, there is no way my third cousin would fail the exam. Your Highness, you invited my third cousin to the banquet earlier. You had good vision."

Looking at the smile on her lips, Zhou Yunke's smile seemed to deepen, but his eyes became darker, "I heard that your third cousin's classmate Yin Zhiping also graduated from high school."

Su Liuyue was stunned.

How did he know Yin Zhiping? Didn't he always pay attention to students who were top students or had special skills? My third cousin didn't say that Yin Zhiping had any special strengths.

She thought about it and asked directly, "Yes, Your Highness also knows Mr. Yin?"

"know."

Zhou Yunke paused, and suddenly said in a calm voice: "I also know that this is the candidate for your future husband that your third cousin has selected for you."

Su Liuyue was really shocked this time, but then she thought, Feng Qi had been following her all the time, so it must be Feng Qi who told him about this.

But... Feng Qi actually told Zhou Yunke about her private affairs? !
Seeing the sudden dissatisfaction and strong vigilance in the woman's eyes, Zhou Yunke was silent for a moment and said, "Don't get me wrong, Feng Qi usually wouldn't tell me your private affairs, but this Yin Zhiping attended two appointments with King Wei before the examination. As soon as the list was posted today, King Wei sent invitations to all the high school students who had responded to him before, inviting them to a banquet at King Wei's mansion tonight. This Yin Zhiping was one of them, and he went to the banquet."

Su Liuyue's heart skipped a beat.

So, Yin Zhiping is likely to become King Wei's man?
She frowned slightly and said, "But, my third cousin has also been to the King of Wei's banquet before..."

"The King of Wei is now focusing on cultivating his confidants. For confidants, the most important thing is not their achievements and abilities, but their loyalty."

Zhou Yunke said calmly: "Your third cousin did go to the banquet, but if his attitude is the same as when he went to my banquet, neither humble nor arrogant, and without any intention of currying favor, the King of Wei will naturally not consider cultivating him as his confidant."

Su Liuyue understood.

It must be that Yin Zhiping revealed his desire to seek refuge with King Wei during the banquet, so King Wei sent him a letter on his first day of high school.

Yin Zhiping was born in poverty and had no support in the court. He just barely passed the imperial examination this time. If he didn't find a way to plan for himself, the Ministry of Personnel would certainly not give him a good place to go.

It's not wrong for him to want to rely on King Wei.

Perhaps even my third cousin did not realize that his classmate was such a hidden ambitious person.

But Su Liuyue had no good feelings towards King Wei. After so many open and covert confrontations, she knew that this guy was a villain who would do anything to achieve his goals.

If Yin Zhiping really surrendered to King Wei, she would definitely not consider him.

She finally understood why Zhou Yunke came here suddenly so late.

She couldn't say she was sad, just a little disappointed.

Never mind, she already has four other candidates!

Su Liuyue couldn't help but smile and said, "I understand. Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness."

After thinking about it, she felt that it was necessary for her to express her attitude, so she said seriously: "Don't worry, Your Highness, no matter what time, my heart is with you!"

Zhou Yunke's heart seemed to skip a beat. He stared at the woman in front of him for a while before he said with a slight smile, "Okay."

After Su Liuyue finished speaking, she saw that he had nothing else to say, so she said goodbye and left.

Zhou Yunke looked at her retreating figure through the window and said in a slightly cold voice, "Go and thoroughly investigate the other gentlemen that the Xue family has chosen for Miss Su San."

Feng Yang, who was standing by, was immediately surprised when he heard this, "Yes!"

After that, Zhou Yunke was silent for a moment, and then said in a calm voice: "Mr. Rong, stop pretending."

As soon as the voice fell, the driver sitting in front of the carriage turned around abruptly, smiled towards the carriage door and said: "Your Highness, when did you know it was a villain? No, this is not important! Your Highness, instead of trying so hard to eliminate the love rival around Miss Su San, why not just do it directly! Now the Su family and the Xue family are both focused on marrying Miss Su San off, this love rival will only be like weeds on the ground, which can't be burned out by wildfires, but will grow again in the spring breeze!"

Zhou Yunke pursed his lips slightly, and after a while he whispered, "No, she will be unhappy."

Just now, he had only interfered a little in her private affairs, and she immediately armed herself up like a hedgehog.

He had no doubt that if he had not later revealed the matter of the King of Wei, she would have already broken up with him.

This woman has her own ideas and thoughts. If she is not willing to do something, forcing her will only backfire.

All he could think of now was to buy himself more time and let her get used to his presence little by little.
