Chapter 289 Thinking I Was the Chosen One
"What are you standing there for? Come in quickly."
Su Cheng smiled and waved to the three people outside the door, but the smile on his face looked weird no matter how he looked at it.
Xie Suzhou had no idea what was going on, let alone where all the women in the room came from. When he saw Ah Cheng's smiling face again, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he didn't dare to get close at all.
The first one to stick his head out gets shot. Whoever goes in first will be forced to bear the wrath of the hostess.
It's come to this... there's nothing we can do.
"Fourth brother, come in quickly, Ah Cheng is calling you."
Xie Ming widened his eyes slightly and looked at his second brother, who was usually the most reliable, in disbelief.
Xie Suzhou turned his face away, refusing to look at him, and considerately made way for him.
I'm sorry that I would rather die than let my friend die.
"I..." Xie Ming didn't dare to go in. He didn't even dare to meet Su Cheng's gaze. Anger was surging in his heart.
He now knew what the generous gift Lu Qingqing was talking about was.
This pair of bastards, if they fall into my hands in the future, I will definitely skin them alive!
Seeing the two people hesitate to move, and the stalemate made no one dare to enter first, Su Cheng's smile faded, and he slammed the wooden chopsticks in his hand on the table, "I told you to get out, are you deaf?"
Xie Suzhou and Xie Ming were both shocked, and they moved at the same time and crowded together in front of the door.
"Second brother, you should have said it just now. Ah Cheng was calling me." Xie Ming pushed forward with all his strength, nearly biting his back teeth to pieces. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Brother, you misheard me just now. It was me that Ah Cheng called." Xie Suzhou was no match for his fourth brother, who was capable of fighting in battle. He could only pull hard at his waist belt, "Be good and let me in first."
After a while of tugging, Xie Ming entered the house first, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Before Su Cheng could start a fight, he spoke to those girls, "Who let you in? You have no manners at all!"
Su Cheng held his chin with one hand and smiled brightly, "I put it in."
Xie Ming froze and was speechless for a moment.
Xie Suzhou pursed his thin lips and tried hard to suppress his laughter.
Cai Lian raised her head cautiously, her eyes sweeping over the masters one by one, the corners of her mouth twitching upwards, "Miss, this servant...this servant...is suddenly hungry, so I'll go downstairs to find Qing Shuang first."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and ran away from the two brothers.
The two brothers watched Cai Lian leave, and their hearts sank even more.
Well, now there is no one left who can even say a few soft words to help.
An Zhicheng met his young master's pleading gaze, clasped his fists towards him, turned around without hesitation, and slipped away from the corridor with an umbrella.
"These are sent by the eldest prince to warm your courtyard." Su Cheng's lips curled slightly. Through the hot steam from the pot, it was difficult to see her eyes. "The two masters are now in high positions and need maids to serve them."
"This matter has nothing to do with me at all." Xie Suzhou spoke first, raising his finger and pointing. Ignoring his brother's shocked look, his expression was very serious. "These people are all gifts prepared by the eldest prince for Ah Ming. I was completely unaware of this. I beg Master Ah Cheng to investigate."
Xie Ming caught a glimpse of Ah Cheng looking towards him from the corner of his eye. He nearly bit the soft flesh in his mouth and shouted at the women, "Disappear from my sight and go back to where you came from!"
A dozen young ladies were at a loss. After looking at each other, they tactfully left. The last one to leave did not forget to close the door for them.
"Damn it! I better not get any evidence against Yan Sheng!" Xie Ming was so angry that his face turned pale. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Su Cheng slowly stand up. Even the three children at the table put down their chopsticks. "Ah Cheng, listen to me—"
Su Cheng raised her hand, gently touched his heart with her fingertips, and looked at him with a smile, "You two, there will be no food today."
After she finished speaking, she left without looking back, and the three children followed her.
Before Xie Ming could come to his senses, the smart man had already walked to the table and sat down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks used by Su Cheng, and fished out the meat scraps and leftover vegetables from the pot.
If you don't eat a few bites quickly, you'll only be able to drink the soup.
"Damn it... Damn it!" Xie Ming was furious and mentally took note of Yan Sheng. "You're still thinking of winning me over? Dream on! I'm going to tear them both into pieces!"
"I told you that Lu Qingqing is no ordinary person and should have been killed long ago." Xie Suzhou sneered and said nonchalantly, "Just starve today. You don't have to worry about Lu Qingqing and Yan Sheng. Leave it to me."
"Mother, why did you let those women in?" Su Zhijun raised her little face, puzzled. "If you knew they had bad intentions, wouldn't you have just kicked them out? Mother even gave each of them twenty taels of silver. Cuicui felt so badly cheated."
Su Cheng held her hand and smiled gently, "They are all miserable people, being sent back and forth like goods. Some of them even sold themselves to become concubines to pay off their family debts. If they had a little money, perhaps they could have a different life."
"They left willingly because of their mother's kindness. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left on their own initiative if they hadn't completed the task assigned by their master." Su Chen curled his lips and walked shoulder to shoulder with Heping'er. "Even a child like me can see through these little tricks."
Su Cheng had a gentle look on her face as she led her three children down the corridor. Raindrops were falling outside the corridor, and the scent of cosmetics from those beautiful girls still lingered on her body.
Playing with women.
Damn it indeed.
A hint of deep meaning flashed in Su Cheng's eyes, and he lowered his eyes slightly to hide the cruelty in his eyes.

Sanjiu Temple in the Suburbs
"Master, the person you requested is here."
The bulging sack was casually thrown on the ground, and a woman let out a soft groan from inside.
"Untie her and leave."
The sack was pulled away, and the person inside saw the light again. He squinted his eyes uncomfortably, and after a long time he got used to the light. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up to see the girl who he had never forgotten since he first met her.
"You...what are you going to do..." She kept backing away until her body hit the door of the dilapidated temple. Then she spoke tremblingly, "You are the daughter of the Zhao family, right?"
Su Cheng smiled at her and slowly approached her, "Do you know me?"
"Of course...you are Xie Suzhou's fiancée."
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of interest in his eyes. "Then what should I call you? Lu Qingqing, or - the Awakener?"
Hearing this, Lu Qingqing was shocked and her eyes widened in disbelief, with her smile reflected in her eyes.
"No wonder, no wonder you set your sights on the Xie family the moment you showed up in Beijing. You must have known their identities, right?" Su Cheng weighed the dagger in his hand, the curve of his lips gradually deepening as he spoke lazily, "A paper figure who awakened by chance, simply knowing part of the plot, thought he was the chosen one and tried to change everything."
"Tell me," Su Cheng drew his dagger, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "how should I punish those who overestimate their own abilities?"
