Chapter 124: The Only Sister-in-Law
Su Jing was indeed drinking with a group of classmates, but the waiter in the restaurant had been bribed and was waiting for an opportunity to drug Su Jing. Zhao Xiyun was already lying in a room.
Su Jing was not good at drinking, and after drinking some wine, he was already a little drunk. His cheeks were flushed, and he supported his chin with his eyes slightly closed.
Zhou Xiucai couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this:
"Brother Su is very talented, but he can't hold his liquor. We finally have something to surpass him."
In the academy, Su Jing ranked first in all aspects and was deeply loved by all the teachers. In this provincial examination, only Su Jing was qualified for the metropolitan examination.
Everyone laughed, except for Qi Xiucai, who had a feud with Su Jing in the academy, who snorted disdainfully:
"Just because you can pass the provincial examination doesn't mean you can pass the metropolitan examination. The imperial examination is held every three years, and thousands of students come to Beijing to take the exam. There are many talented people. Just because you can excel in Xiangzhou Prefecture doesn't mean you can excel in Kyoto!"
Su Jing didn't agree and just smiled faintly. He didn't want to argue with him. He didn't say that he was sure of success.
However, those classmates who were on good terms with Su Jing helped Su Jing refute:
"Qi Yuan, Su Jing is already a Juren after all. It's a done deal. He's already passed the provincial examination. Unlike us, we're still only Xiucai."
Qi Yuan's face froze and he drank a glass of wine unhappily.
The waiter came in to add more wine, and then he came to Su Jing's side and filled his glass. Everyone raised their glasses again, drank it all in one gulp, and chatted and laughed.
Only Qi Yuan was secretly competing with Su Jing. He just refused to accept the fact. Why was Su Jing so outstanding in everything? Even Dean Zhou looked up to him and wanted to betroth Miss Yun to him.
When Su Chen arrived at the county, it was already night. Fearing that he would be too late, he quickly found the place where Su Jing was having a drink. He happened to see the students saying goodbye to each other, but Su Jing was the only one missing.
Su Jing was completely drunk and was sent to a guest room in a daze. However, Su Jing was the only one in the room, and there was no sign of Zhao Xiyun.
On the contrary, Qi Yuan accidentally drank the pot of wine with aphrodisiac prepared for Su Jing. At this moment, his whole body was burning and he was unconscious.
He groped his way back to the room. The bed curtains were down. Zhao Xiyun had been knocked unconscious and thrown inside. Qi Yuan lifted the bed curtains and saw Zhao Xiyun sleeping soundly. He thought he was dreaming, and under the influence of the aphrodisiac, he reached out his hand to her.
As soon as the light was blown out, they started to make love in the darkness. The movements were so loud that they woke up Zhao Xiyun. She thought it was Su Jing at the time and was so happy:
"You usually act so refined and elegant, but I didn't expect you to be so clueless!"
In the darkness, she giggled and hit Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan was drugged, and when he faced the girl he liked, his mind was full of that thing.
Moreover, scholars are generally gentle and elegant, and Zhao Xiyun's description is a summary.
She was reluctant at first, but responded enthusiastically later. The two of them were like dry firewood, and the fire ignited at the first touch.
When Su Chen found Su Jing and heard that he was resting in the guest room, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
I thought, it’s over, I hope I’m not really in trouble. I was so prepared but nothing happened. What should I do?
Pushing the door open with trembling hands, Su Chen was worried about his elder brother's marriage and felt ashamed to report to Su Wan.
When he saw that Su Jing was the only one sleeping in the room, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened. It was just that Su Jing was so drunk that he was afraid he would not be able to go home tonight and had to stay here.
He also wanted to go back and report that he was safe, so that Su Wan could rest assured and stop thinking about it, but he was also afraid that if he left, Su Jing would cause trouble again.
At this moment, a male voice sounded behind him:
"Third Master Su, just stay here and take good care of the eldest Master Su. I'll send someone to report that Miss Su is safe."
When Su Chen turned around, he saw a young man he had never seen before. He was dressed in black and had a sword on his waist. He was about the same age as him.
"Who are you?"
"My young master has left a team of men in Qinghe County to secretly protect the Su family. Our men discovered that the waiter at this restaurant was bribed to drug Young Master Su and arrange his marriage with Miss Zhao, so they secretly assisted him. Tomorrow morning, there will be something interesting to watch."
When Jiang Yu left, he specifically asked them to stay, saying that he wanted them to protect the Su family. There was no need to hide it from Su Chen, just tell him directly when they met.
Because of his relationship with Jiang Yunhe, Jiang Yu was very confident in his character. It wasn't that he didn't trust the other members of the Su family, but they didn't know much, so there was no need to involve them.
"But it's Jiang Yu's order?" The young master he mentioned should be no one else except Jiang Yu.
The man nodded and clasped his fists towards Su Chen:
"I am the leader of this team of secret guards. My name is Fengying. If you have any problems in the future, Mr. Su San can come directly to Yong'an Tea Shop to find me. When you come, just say that you want three taels of Biluochun produced in March, and someone will bring you to see me.
However, please keep this matter secret from others, Third Young Master. This matter is only known to you. Our young master has a special status. If too many people know about it, it may cause unnecessary trouble. Please forgive me."
Su Chen nodded. He knew that one of Jiang Yu's identities was the young master of Fengyue Villa. He also knew that he had another identity that his master had never told him. He only knew that Jiang Yu was also from a prominent family in Kyoto.
Moreover, there are too many people who want to kill Jiang Yu. Just because of his identity as the young master of Fengyue Villa, many people are eyeing him and are very dissatisfied.
"I understand. Thank you very much for your help and for protecting my brother. Thank you very much!" Su Chen also clasped his fists towards him.
"No, we are all following the young master's orders. We are in our positions and should be loyal. The Su family has given our young master a new life, and we should do all this." Fengying was very frightened.
The young master said that we must respect the Su family, especially Miss Su, and we need to take more care of her on a daily basis.
It was the first time they saw the young master so attentive to a girl, but it was no wonder. After observing her secretly, they knew that Miss Su was a beauty who could outshine the sun and the moon, and she was also extremely intelligent. No wonder the young master looked at her differently.
As long as the young master likes a girl, she is their only sister-in-law and must be protected.
In the original novel, Gu Yue did not receive this kind of treatment. Jiang Yu had no feelings for her in the early stage, and he did not necessarily need her in the later stage.
The author said that Jiang Yu is a person who does not compromise. His feelings for Gu Yue started just because she was different and he looked up to her, but he didn't like her to the point of giving up his life for her, and there was also a life-saving grace in between.
He does not compromise in love and will not remain single for the rest of his life just because the heroine marries someone else. In his opinion, if they are not spiritually compatible, he will choose not to marry even if he does not like Gu Yue.
