Chapter 75 Waiting for the Day When Everything Ends (Part )
Su Liuyue was not in a very good mood at the moment, and asked unhappily, "What?"
"cough!"
Feng Qi cleared his throat and said seriously, "Young Master Su, don't worry. Your Highness the Crown Prince will take care of the matter with His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei and will definitely not let His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei know Young Master Su's identity.
The special examination will be held in about half a month. After that, Young Master Su will no longer have to help Jingzhao Prefecture investigate cases. By then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ensure that Young Master Su can return to his previous peaceful and safe life."
Su Liuyue was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is really a master of foresight. He even guessed that I would be unhappy."
Feng Qi immediately said proudly: "Of course, our prince is the smartest person in the world!"
Su Liuyue: “…”
Faced with such a fool, she was speechless.
She simply asked bluntly, "How long have you been with me?"
Feng Qi said honestly, "I was ordered to protect Young Master Su in secret five days ago. It's not just me, there are also many secret guards."
Wasn’t it five days ago that the case of the male Guanyin was just closed?
It turned out that the King of Wei had already set his eyes on her at that time!
She frowned slightly and continued to ask: "What has the King of Wei done these days?"
"That's a lot!"
Feng Qi pointed his finger and said honestly, "Not only did His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei send many people to investigate Young Master Su, he also sent people to follow Young Master Su almost every day. But Young Master Su, don't worry, I will beat those people away one by one, and I will never let them dance in front of Young Master Su."
As he said this, he grinned at her as if seeking praise.
Su Liuyue's mouth twitched slightly. She had no intention of praising him. She felt irritated when she thought about being targeted by such a dangerous person. But now, she could only trust Zhou Yunke.
In two or three months at most, these things will be over. During this time, she just needs to be careful!
Fortunately, the King of Wei did not appear in front of her again in the next few days. It was unclear whether he had given up on attacking her or Zhou Yunke's men had stopped him in secret.
But Su Liuyue was much more careful in doing things. Every time she went home, she would look around several times before going in.
When she dressed up as Su Xiaolangjun, she also slightly changed her makeup. At first glance, there was not much difference, but it made her look more heroic, and it was harder to tell that she was actually a girl.
It was not until the eighth day that Su Liuyue went to the Xue family and saw Xue Chengyi, with a rosy face, excitedly saying that he would not be transferred out of the Censorate. The slight depression in her heart caused by the King of Wei was completely dissipated.
Although working for Zhou Yunke was troublesome, she had sincerely felt that being chosen by Zhou Yunke to work for him was a chance given to her by God, long before she decided to use this brief encounter with Zhou Yunke to gain as much benefit as possible for the Xue family.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Xue family was surprised. Yun quickly asked, "Master, what...what is going on?"
It was evening now, and the entire Xue family gathered in the living room waiting for dinner. It was a rare occasion that even Xue Wenjin, who had been spending every day in the academy, came back.
Xue Chengyi laughed loudly a few times, raised the corners of his mouth and said: "It is said that the person recommended by His Royal Highness Prince Wei had an accident and could not take up the post. I don't know the details of the matter.
I only found out this afternoon that I didn’t need to be transferred!”
Xue Wenbai also laughed from ear to ear. Upon hearing this, he could not help but said, "Father, when you came back just now, didn't you tell mother that the man recommended by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei was a gambler and lost thousands of taels of silver in the casino a few days ago. Not only did he have no money to pay his debts, but he also boasted that he would soon work in the Censorate and would have no problem paying back the money he owed. He was caught red-handed, and the Emperor was furious, so he was not allowed to serve as an official in the court? I heard everything just now!" Wang couldn't help but touch her silly husband with her elbow. Didn't he see that father deliberately didn't mention this matter?
After all, this involves the serious business of the court, which is not something they can discuss casually.
Xue Chengyi was suddenly embarrassed by his son, and couldn't help but cough twice. He glared at him secretly, but he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth and said, "Anyway, no matter what, this matter is over, and our Xue family will definitely get better and better!
Wenjin, the special examination will be held soon. Now the new dynasty is eager to seek talents, so this time the special examination will only retain three rounds of provincial examination, metropolitan examination and palace examination, and they will be completed within one month. Any candidate who has reached the age and has no major criminal record can apply. This is a great opportunity for you!
How is your book review going?"
Xue Wenjin smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Dad. I will do my best."
Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "We have all seen how hard Wenjin has worked during this period. Why should your father be worried? Wenjin rarely comes home today, so let's not talk about these things and put pressure on Wenjin.
However, Wenjin probably won't be able to attend Princess Changxi's lotus viewing banquet in a few days. It's rare that our whole family has received the invitation.
Liu Yue, did your father and mother tell you about the Lotus Appreciation Banquet? "
Lotus viewing banquet?
As soon as Su Liuyue heard these three unfamiliar words, she knew that Guo must have cheated her again.
Seeing Su Liuyue's expression, Yun Shi understood everything. Her face suddenly changed and she said, "Guo Shi didn't tell you about this at all? Ridiculous! Ridiculous! You are the eldest daughter of the Su family. How could Princess Changxi not invite you in her invitation?"
This kind of grand event is the first since the founding of Daqing. Not to mention that it is a great opportunity to make connections, Liu Yue might even meet a good match there.
How dare that vicious woman Guo hide such an important thing from Liu Yue!
Seeing that Yun's face was about to turn red with anger, Su Liuyue hurriedly said: "Don't get excited, aunt, maybe she just hasn't told me yet. Besides, I don't have to go to such a banquet. After all, it wasn't long ago that the Zheng family broke off my engagement..."
Su Liuyue really didn't want to go.
While she was working for Zhou Yunke, the fewer people she met the better. If by chance someone recognized her, it would be troublesome.
It won’t be too late to attend these banquets after she and Zhou Yunke have completely severed their relationship.
Yun had no idea what her niece was thinking. She just thought she was worried about how others would look at her. She couldn't help but said with great distress, "But that's not a reason for Guo to completely ignore you! Besides, this lotus viewing banquet is a great opportunity for all the unmarried women in the capital..."
Su Liuyue was slightly stunned. Before she could ask Yun what this meant, the doorman of the Xue family came in and saluted, "Master, Madam, there is someone outside, claiming to be a yamen runner from Jingzhao Prefecture, and he said he has something urgent to do to the third young lady."
Everyone in the Xue family knew that Su Liuyue was investigating a case for Jingzhao Prefecture, and they all frowned.
Su Liuyue stood up and said, "I'll go out now."
People from Jingzhao Prefecture rarely come to the Xue family to find her. If they come, it can only be because a case has occurred that requires her intervention.
After Su Liuyue finished speaking, she strode out. Yun Shi reacted and wanted to stop her, but it was too late. She couldn't help but said with both heartache and dissatisfaction: "That child, at least finish dinner before going out! The people in Jingzhao Prefecture are really something. Why did they choose this time to come to look for someone? They really treat Liuyue as their own!"
Xue Lingwan couldn't help but look at the direction where Su Liuyue left with admiration, and said longingly: "But I think my cousin is so amazing that she was invited by the people of Jingzhao Prefecture to investigate the case. I also want to follow my cousin to see how she investigates the case."
Yun didn't know what to say for a moment.
She was also proud of her niece. If she didn't consider the possible impact this matter might have on her, wouldn't she want to let her do what she liked?
She couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Forget it. Liu Yue said that she wouldn’t be able to do this for long anyway, so she should stop nagging her during this period and let her do it to her heart’s content.
After Su Liuyue changed her clothes and went to the door, she saw that it was Feng Dali who came to see her.
As soon as Feng Dali saw her, he hurriedly said, "Young Master Su, this is bad, another prostitute is in trouble!"
