Chapter 99: It's really a waste! (Second update)
Princess Changxi seemed a little absent-minded after hearing Su Liuyue's words. After a while, she smiled and said, "What a perceptive child."
There was a tone of admiration and regret that could not be concealed at all.
To be able to keep one's heart in the face of such a great temptation is something that even an old man over fifty years old and experienced many hardships may not be able to do, let alone she is just a sixteen-year-old child!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel even more disappointed with her son. She secretly turned around and glared at her unromantic boy.
If he could have taken action earlier and helped Liu Yue to escape from that disgusting Su family and help the Xue family, would Liu Yue have to be so helpless and insecure?
When they went to catch the criminal just now, she was not idle either, and she had already figured out everything about this girl.
In addition, she had tried to understand the girl's thoughts from all angles just now, so she called her two sisters over for questioning. She found that one girl was timid and fawning on her, while the other girl was hinting in her words that she had made a mistake, and that her third sister did not have the courage to step forward and catch the snake. She roughly knew what kind of life she was leading in the Su family.
However, when she saw this, she was slightly stunned.
But she saw that her nephew was holding the cup to his lips, as if he wanted to drink, but he didn't bring the cup to his lips for a long time.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised with a faint smile, his eyes were slightly lowered and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking, but the smile on his lips revealed a tacit understanding that "he knew this girl was like this".
Princess Changxi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
Oh, this brat was caught by her.
She quickly retracted her gaze, and personally helped Su Liuyue up again, smiling and saying: "Well, why so many gifts? Everyone chooses their own path, and the same goes for whether you choose to be my student.
What you just said does make sense. You suddenly became my student for no reason, which is bound to attract a lot of doubts.
But I really like you, kid. You don’t have to be my student, but in the future, if I want to ask you to come over and chat, you can’t refuse.
Don't worry, I won't let your mother and the others know."
Although Su Liuyue felt that it was not yet time for her to be Princess Changxi's student, she did not object to getting closer to Princess Changxi.
After all, such connections, like Zhou Yunke's, are hard to come by. It would be beneficial for her to make more friends with them privately!
She immediately smiled brilliantly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess. Your Highness is indeed as Your Highness, the Crown Prince, said, very reasonable."
As it was getting late, Su Liuyue talked to Princess Changxi for a while and then said goodbye.
Before leaving, Princess Changxi gave Su Liuyue a lot of things, including silks, satins, and jewelry. Su Liuyue refused again and again but it was useless, and finally she had no choice but to accept them.
However, she was still very happy to suddenly receive so many valuable gifts!
She is just a vulgar petty bourgeois!
Princess Changxi finally asked Yugu to personally escort Su Liuyue out. After Su Liuyue left, she looked at her nephew who was calmly drinking tea and said meaningfully, "I thought you would personally escort Miss Su San out."
Zhou Yunke put down the cup in his hand and smiled faintly, "She doesn't want to attract attention, what reason do I have to send her out?"
Princess Changxi raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at her nephew without blinking, and suddenly said, "Do you really not like the girl? Although the Su family's status is a little low, it is at least a fifth-rank official family. Moreover, my aunt knows that with your ability, you don't need to marry or seek support from your father-in-law's family. As long as you are willing to marry a wife, no matter who she is, everyone around you will cry with joy..."
Zhou Yunke frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his brows, and said in a calm voice: "Aunt, Miss Su San is no different from other subordinates to me. If you continue to speculate on the relationship between me and Miss Su San, it will make it difficult for me.
If I have other female subordinates in the future, will you guess about them one by one?"
Princess Changxi couldn't help but twitch her lips and eyes at the same time. This brat, when other subordinates were in danger, would he be so anxious that he would just stand up and walk over to save the beauty?
Would he show that kind of knowing smile when other subordinates were talking?
She was in no hurry to expose him, and said calmly: "Aunt just saw that Miss Su San is a good match for you in every aspect. Moreover, Miss Su San has such talent in investigating cases. It would be a waste if she could not use it to benefit the people. If she married into another family, her talent might really be buried. But if she becomes the daughter-in-law of our royal family, no matter what she does, you and the entire royal family will support her behind the scenes..."
Zhou Yunke's brows furrowed slightly again.
For some reason, when he heard his aunt say "the royal daughter-in-law", an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
He interrupted Princess Changxi again and said, "Aunt, you'd better stop saying these things. Forget about teasing me. Miss Su San already has a man she likes and will get married soon. Aunt, what you said will only embarrass Miss Su San."
Princess Changxi was stunned.
Zhou Yunke had already stood up and saluted to Princess Changxi, saying, "There are still some matters to be dealt with in the military camp, so I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with big strides.
Princess Changxi didn't come to her senses until he was out of sight.
At this time, Yu Gu also came back. Princess Changxi couldn't help but take a breath and murmured, "Liu Yue that girl actually already has a man she likes!"
Yu Gu was slightly stunned, and she sensed the regret and reluctance in Princess Changxi's words, and she said softly: "A woman as outstanding as Miss Su San will naturally have many men who are pleased with her. I can't figure out where those rumors about Miss Su San came from. I don't think Miss Su San is a woman who gossips behind people's backs. The Zheng family broke off the engagement with Miss Su San, which is really a waste of money!"
"Ah... I'm afraid this little brat of mine has also lost his treasure."
Princess Changxi shook her head and said, "I have eaten so many more years than him. I may not be as good as him in other things, but in terms of feelings, this brat will never be able to compare with me even after ten years!
He has a special feeling towards Liu Yue, but I'm afraid even this brat himself hasn't noticed it.
It would be fine if he never noticed it in his life, but if he suddenly discovered my feelings for Liu Yue, and had to watch her get married with his own eyes, how cruel it would be."
On the other side, when Su Liuyue returned to the front, most of the guests had already dispersed.
Yu Gu only sent her out of Princess Changxi's courtyard, and then sent a servant to take her to the gate.
As soon as Su Liuyue arrived at the gate, she saw the Yun family members craning their necks to look around. Xue Lingwan saw her and immediately trotted forward, saying worriedly, "Cousin, why did you take so long? The other girls who were called by the Princess came out long ago. My mother and I are so worried. We're afraid that the Princess will embarrass you!"
No wonder they are so worried.
They didn't know that she had gone out to catch a criminal in the middle of the trip. Including this time, she had been missing for almost two hours.
Su Liuyue raised her lips and smiled, "Why is Her Royal Highness the Princess making things difficult for me? She likes me very much. In order to thank me for catching the snake in time and avoiding a bigger commotion, she also rewarded me with a lot of things.
I was there for so long because Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me if there was anything I wanted. I heard that the Princess's Mansion had a huge library filled with precious books that Her Royal Highness had collected from all over the world, so I specifically asked Her Royal Highness the Princess to let me visit her library."
“That’s why!”
Xue Lingwan's eyes widened with excitement, and she believed what she said without a doubt, "Cousin, you are amazing! I don't think even the students accepted by Her Royal Highness the Princess today have received such treatment.
Come to think of it, it's not true as others say, that Her Royal Highness the Princess has accepted my cousin as her student..."
Su Liuyue couldn't help but chuckle, "How can I be the student of Her Royal Highness the Princess? You must not say these words in front of others, lest you be hated.
By the way, where are the people from the Su family? "
