Chapter 33 Chapter 33 The handsome guy feels so ravaged when he cries...

Incense was still rising from the Rui Nao beast furnace in the hall, with a very clear and elegant smell.

Su Su was suddenly in a trance, and she secretly glanced at Shen Rang.

She remembered the smell of Shen Rang, and the tips of her ears turned red silently.

Lin Zhuo took in the entire scene. His straight back stiffened slightly, his throat tightened, and he was unable to speak.

It was only after he entered the court that he learned that the cheating in the Spring Examination was something that all the court officials had tacitly agreed to.

For court officials, it is nothing more than promoting your son this year and my disciple next year.

Lin Zhuo was able to fight his way up from the bottom, and based on his performance in the palace examination, he was chosen by the late emperor as the top scorer in the imperial examination that year.

It is just as the saying goes: The spring breeze is so strong that the horse gallops, and all the flowers in Chang'an can be seen in one day.

But after he entered the court, he encountered the situation that the previous emperor was seriously ill and his five sons were forcing the emperor to abdicate and seize the throne.

After this, the young emperor ascended the throne, and the eldest princess cleaned up the government, trying to pry open the aristocratic families, which were a roadblock to the common people.

However, Master Shen teamed up with the noble families to devour his power.

Lin Zhuo had had enough of being bullied. He was clearly full of talent. Was it that just because of his humble birth that he would have to spend his entire life in a damp and moldy archive room?

Do I have to spend my whole life taking on cases that others don't want?

How can he achieve the peaceful and prosperous world he has in mind?

If it weren't for the favor of the eldest princess, Lin Zhuo would probably never have spoken a word to His Majesty or to Master Shen, who was at the head of the Three Departments, in his entire life.

But he had to admit that without the eldest princess, he was nothing.

Lin Zhuo's eyes gradually became empty and numb.

"Lin Zhuo?" Su Su called softly.

His thoughts returned and he forced himself to raise the corners of his lips.

"Are you okay?" Yuan Susu saw that he looked unhappy. She certainly understood that for Lin Zhuo, she was the springboard that could allow the Lin family to become a new elite.

She doesn't care.

After all, the current situation is becoming increasingly chaotic, and Susu finds that many plots are beginning to get out of control.

She was afraid of the unpredictable nature of these people who were smiling but had ulterior motives, and she was afraid that they would stab her in the back out of the blue.

Therefore, leaving Kyoto as soon as possible is Susu's best choice.

Lin Zhuo shook his head slightly.

"Master Lin, have you made up your mind?" Shen Rang said coldly.

He had plenty of ways to make Susu stay, but he insisted that Susu see clearly...

But today he had to let Yuan Susu see clearly whether human nature could resist temptation.

"Your Majesty," Lin Zhuo let out a long sigh, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is as bright as a pearl, and I, a humble official, know that I am as humble as dust and have never dared to covet her."

He paused and said, "I was born in a humble family, but I also have a pure heart. If it were not for the support of Your Highness, I would have found it difficult to make a name for myself in the court."

"I, a humble servant, have come from a poor background, so naturally I have seen their suffering. Most of the officials in the court are from aristocratic families, so it is difficult for them to empathize with me."

Lin Zhuo's eyes moistened, and he looked at Su Su with a look of humility, passion, and reluctance: "Your Highness, I am very satisfied to have your favor in this life and to have been stained by your glory for a moment. But now there are wars everywhere, the people are living in poverty, the noble families are in power, and the poor will never have a chance to rise. I cannot leave the court just like that. I cannot bear to see them continue to live in dire straits."

Chen Rang looked at Lin Zhuo unexpectedly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Master Lin, what's the use of having only one person's strength?"

"What if my help is needed?" Lin Zhuo looked at Chen Rang firmly, his back straight and his voice sonorous and powerful.

Yuan Susu looked at Lin Zhuo's face, but she didn't feel sad but happy. She felt that Lin Zhuo not only had a handsome face but also had a positive outlook.

Because Chen Rang was busy with affairs in the Censorate, everyone took their leave.

Susu left the palace first.

Lin Zhuo looked at Shen Rang's back in the narrow corridor and called out, "Master Shen."

Shen Rang paused and looked sideways at Lin Zhuo.

"Why didn't Master, a member of an aristocratic family, get angry about what I said today?"

Shen Rang narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered: "Which of your words is wrong?"

"Young Master..." Lin Zhuo suddenly paused, a thought constantly rolling in his eyes.

"As you thought," Shen Rang frowned, "I used to think you were just a mediocre person using the eldest princess to climb the ladder, but after hearing what you said today..."

Shen Rang raised the corner of his lips, which was rare. He patted Lin Zhuo's shoulder and said, "Come to the Censorate. How about becoming a censor with me to make history, clean up the bureaucracy, and redress grievances?"

Lin Zhuo's eyebrows relaxed, and he instantly raised his eyes to look at Chen Rang. He lifted his robe and knelt: "Your subordinate... Your subordinate is willing to follow you, sir."

…

As Yuan Susu stepped into the mansion, a man came riding a horse right after her.

"Your Highness."

Su Su frowned slightly, and looked at his sharp edges under the sunlight and the burning love in her eyes with her smart eyes.

Yuan Susu's gaze slowly moved to his thin waist, and the girl swallowed.

Shen Rang dismounted, and came towards Su Su with a bow and quiver in his hands.

Yuan Susu was stunned. She suddenly remembered that the system said that the original owner was pierced by an arrow!

Holy shit! This is...

The deadline is approaching! ?

Her pupils trembled, and she ran towards the mansion in a panic.

Yuan Susu ran away holding up her skirt.

Chen Rang's face looked unhappy. He clenched the bow in his hand, plucking the string lightly and watching Su Su who was running in front of him at a slow pace.

Su Su was almost mentally broken by him, and she was almost scared to death every time she heard the sound of the bowstring.

"Why are you running?" Shen Rang asked.

When Yuan Susu stepped into the bedroom, she saw the Jinwu Guards stationed nearby and immediately shouted, "Stop him! Stop Shen Rang!"

Her little face, pale with fear, felt relieved.

Shen Rang was so angry that he laughed: "What are you hiding from?"

Su Su bravely pointed at the bow and arrow in Shen Rang's hand and said, "How dare you enter the mansion and kill me!"

"Yuan Jiyin," Shen Rang pinched his brows, "I'm not stupid enough to trade one life for another. This is the one I chose for you."

Yuan Susu licked her lips, feeling a little embarrassed, but still skeptical: "Just for this? Don't you have official business at the Censorate? Why did you come here alone?"

"Yes," Shen Rang lowered his eyes to look at the bow and arrow, "This is just an excuse. I want to discuss something with His Highness."

"What's the matter? Just say it here." Su Su raised her eyebrows.

Shen Rang's voice was hoarse: "Let's talk alone."

Seeing that Susu was still skeptical, he sneered and handed the bow and quiver to Cuicui.

When you wanted to kill me, I didn't see you being so cowardly.

Paper tiger.

Yuan Susu then ordered the Jinwu Guards to retreat. As soon as they entered the hall, Lin Zhuo suddenly closed the door.

Then, he raised his eyebrows and covered Susu's mouth, lifting the swaying bead curtain.

Shen Rang took in all the fear in Yuan Susu's eyes and let Susu bite his palm.

He pushed Susu against the wall, and a strong sense of oppression slowly came over her.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips trembled: "What are you going to do..."

Shen Rang bent his lips, and the two of them breathed together tenderly: "I came to ask His Highness for a status."

Yuan Susu was stunned: Ah... I was just saying it casually!

"I..." Su Su bit her lip, "I don't want to get married yet."

"It's okay with Lin Zhuo, but not with me?" Shen Rang frowned, and sinisterness leaked out of his eyes again.

He placed his hot palm on Yuan Susu's cheek: "Your Highness is really good at coaxing people."

Yuan Susu was held down by him, tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks, and her legs were shaking with fear.

Shen Rang suppressed some of his horrifying emotions.

Su Su thought he was going to give up, and just as she let out a sigh of relief...

Suddenly, Shen Rang held her lips, sucking and licking gently, and then attacked and seized her air.

Su Su was caught off guard and was played by him.

Her 'whimpers' were slowly swallowed up, leaving only the sound of water during the kiss.

When Shen Rang finally let her go, Su Su lay on him and gasped for breath.

[Ding Dong, Favorability +1]

After a long while, her eyes and eyebrows turned red: "Is that enough?"

"Hmm?" Shen Rang paused with his hand that was hooking her chin, and the satisfaction in his eyes slowly faded away.

"That's enough, let's go. I'm tired." Yuan Susu turned away.

"You..." Shen Rang's throat tightened, "Are you sad about Lin Zhuo's choice?"

Su Su's hairpins and rings were a little messy, and she shook her head with her eyes drooping.

She felt depressed, sad but more sad about her own fate.

Yuan Susu didn’t know what happened between the original owner and Shen Rang in the original book, but she knew the ending.

So she wanted to leave Shangjing through marriage and stay away from the man who endangered her life.

"No." Su Su shook her head after a long time.

Suddenly, Shen Rang pulled her into his arms, so tightly that he seemed to want to rub her into his bones: "Then, marry me."

Yuan Susu was stunned. She was about to shake her head and refuse sternly.

Shen Rang said: "Listen to me."

"I just learned this morning that my grandmother is critically ill. She's never been in good health, and I've been getting mad at her for a while now. I didn't expect the imperial physician to say she won't survive this autumn."

This was the first time Yuan Susu heard Shen Rang crying.

She slowly raised her drooping hands and hugged Shen Rang.

"Grandma's only wish is to see me get married..." Shen Rang let go of Su Su, his eyes red.

"Your Highness wants to get married, and I want to get married as soon as possible," he said with a hint of self-mockery on his face. "I know you lied to me when you said you loved me that night."

Su Su looked at Shen Rang's broken feeling, and her heart suddenly began to color.

Damn, it feels so ravaged when the handsome guy cries.

"If you marry me, you only need to pretend to be with me while my grandmother is alive," Chen Rang wiped away his tears. "After my grandmother passes away, you and I will divorce. I will not stop you from staying in Shangjing or going to your fiefdom."

Yuan Susu was stunned. She was silent for a long time and looked at Shen Rang: "If I marry you, will you kill me?"

Shen Rang shook his head: "No."

"Even if I do something extremely evil, you won't kill me?"

After a long while, Shen Rang opened his mouth and said, "I will do my best to save your life, but the law is strict and cannot be violated."

When you think about it this way, it’s actually a good thing!

If I marry Shen Rang, even if Prince Anyang really wants to drag me into trouble, Shen Rang will do his best to protect me.

"I can marry you," Yuan Susu paused, took out paper and ink, looked at Chen Rang and said, "We need to write a prenuptial agreement in black and white. If your grandmother's health improves, that would be great, but we only have two months to get married! After two months, you and I will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other."

Shen Rang raised his eyebrows, touched Su Su's neck with his palm, and then moved closer to her earlobe: "Then this marriage cannot be fake, it must be real."

"Can the marriage be fake?" Su Su frowned, not understanding what he meant.

Shen Rang chuckled, and his fingers slowly ran across her neck and stopped at her collarbone:
