Chapter 25: There is no man in my heart, but there can be a man around me
There is no other reason, it’s just because Ling Feng feels that paying attention to every detail can better reflect his professional qualities.
After listening to Ling Feng's detailed report, Jiang Hanyu's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
Yet another person took the initiative to look for her!
And he is also the pride of Yaowang Valley.
How come so many men are still attracted to her when her reputation is like this!
Seeing that there was another man around Su Yuyan so quickly, Jiang Hanyu's heart felt like it was twisted hard, and it was extremely sour.
Seeing his own prince's face as black as the bottom of a pot and a chill all over his body, Ling Feng knew that his master had fallen in love unilaterally:
The master who has lived with the same expression for more than twenty years suddenly showed emotions. If this isn't love, what else could it be?
After sending Ling Feng away, Jiang Hanyu took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
His recent frequent outbursts of anger made him feel that something was wrong.
Because ever since he saw his mother die in front of him with blood gushing from all seven orifices, he felt neither sadness nor joy, anger nor delusion towards anything in the world except his grandmother.
The recent series of sulking and the unbearable bitterness in his heart made him realize that he was attracted to her.
He faced himself and asked himself questions.
His heart told him that since he had fallen in love with her, he should marry her and take her home to prevent her from being targeted by more and more jackals, tigers and leopards.
So, he decided to go to the general's residence to discuss the marriage with Su Lin and his wife after the morning court tomorrow.
He heard Su Yuyan say with his own ears yesterday that she had been instilling in Su Lin and his wife the idea that women had more than just marriage, so he had to marry her before Su Lin and his wife were convinced by her.
Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents and matchmakers.
As long as her parents agreed to the marriage, he would immediately go to his father, the emperor, to grant the marriage and give her a grand wedding.
Moreover, he felt that Su Lin and his wife would fully agree to this marriage.
After all, the two of them had physical contact, and for the Su family, he was her best choice.
Jiang Hanyu is a person with strong execution ability, so after making up his mind, he summoned Ling Feng and Ling Yun.
"Immediately issue an order to Lord Wuxiang: Have them coordinate with each other, obtain the best materials, and create an unparalleled sedan chair as quickly as possible."
Ling Feng and Ling Yun were stunned.
The master actually mobilized Wuxiang Pavilion in order to marry Miss Su!
He loves her so much!
Wuxiang Pavilion is a huge building built by Jiang Hanyu himself.
There is not just one, there are thousands of Wuxiang Pavilions on this continent.
The world only knows that it is a business alliance between the two countries, controlling nearly half of the world's wealth.
Because all members of Wuxiang Pavilion use disguise techniques and never show their true faces, they rely on tokens and secret codes for transactions. In addition, personal safety and financial security are guaranteed when cooperating with Wuxiang Pavilion. The security factor is extremely high and the privacy is extremely high. This has led to countless merchants scrambling to get on board this big ship.
But few people know that the real horror of Wuxiang Pavilion lies in the invisible giant network it has woven - the trade route is the intelligence line, and when money flows, secrets seep out like water.
What is even more secretive is that those well-known sects in the martial arts world have long been secretly entangled by the roots of Wuxiang Pavilion. Under the light and shadow of swords and knives, they are all Jiang Hanyu's pawns.
Ling Feng and Ling Yun, who learned from their mistakes, didn't dare to say a word no matter how surprised they were.
They responded respectfully and left the hall.
After leaving the hall, Ling Feng pinched Ling Yun hard.
"Did I hear correctly? The master is actually mobilizing the Wuxiang Pavilion to build the Wangong sedan chair!"
Ling Yun said angrily.
"Just talk, why are you pinching me?"
Ling Feng answered truthfully.
"Because pinching myself hurts."
Ling Yun's fists hardened, and he imitated Su Yuyan's words.
"If I don't beat the shit out of you today, you'll be considered clean."
Ling Feng used his Qinggong skills to run and shout.
"Why are you talking like Miss Su?"
Ling Yun followed closely behind.
"Master's icy face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, has finally shown some expression since he met Miss Su. I will try to learn more about Miss Su's way of speaking. Maybe I can also make Master show some expression in front of me in the future."
Ling Feng: "......"
Jiang Hanyu, who had originally planned to go to the general's residence to discuss marriage after the morning court the next day, did not expect that someone would get there first.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse in the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace.
The Queen Mother said after finishing her dinner.
"Does the Emperor know why I sent for you to have dinner in my palace?"
The emperor replied.
"Please tell me clearly, mother."
The Queen Mother came straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, my people came to report not long ago that the Su family's daughter and Lin Heqing met at the Su family's restaurant today. Guess what happened? Yu'er, who has always been a recluse and uninterested in anything, went to Fubai Pavilion and booked a private room next to theirs."
"I heard that the third son of Prime Minister Lin's family has been frequenting the General's Mansion these past two days. Today, when he came out of the restaurant, he was even more attentive to the daughter of the Su family."
"Yu'er has been growing up by my side since he was a child. No one knows him better than me."
"He has a withdrawn personality. Every time I approached him about marriage, he always turned down my offer. Now that he's finally taking the initiative to approach a woman, the Emperor should issue an imperial decree to finalize Yu'er's marriage."
"How can Yu'er's wife be given to a minister? Besides, everyone knows that he and the Su family girl had physical contact. Marrying them would not only save the royal family's reputation, but would also be the best outcome for the Su family girl."
"I'm old now, and what I want most is to see Yu'er get married. Besides, Su's daughter's grandmother and I are close friends, so her granddaughter marrying my grandson is a match made in heaven."
The emperor looked at the empress dowager.
"Yu'er is the most outstanding of the three princes, and I owe him for the death of Wanpin, so I have not forced him to do anything in recent years, including getting married."
"Recently, the Su family's daughter has been criticized because the Crown Prince broke off the engagement and Yu'er refused to marry her. Regardless of the reason, since Yu'er has taken her virginity, it is reasonable for her to marry him."
"Rumors are flying everywhere outside, and the royal family's granting of marriage at this time can further demonstrate the emperor's great grace."
"My son will have the officials write the imperial edict granting the marriage and have it read out at the court tomorrow morning."
The Queen Mother, who dreamed of seeing Prince Rui marry and have children, was very satisfied.
"The daughter of the Su family has been widely criticized because of the royal family. The emperor has asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give more betrothal gifts to the Su family as a token of his great favor."
The emperor replied.
"The Su family has been loyal for generations, and Su Lin has been an official for many years, and he is incorruptible. Now that the world is divided into two, and the enemy country is warlike, the Jiang family's territory still needs the Su family to protect it. With such a virtuous minister, my son will not treat the Su family unfairly."
Here, after dinner, Su Yuyan accompanied Du for a walk to help digest the food.
Mrs. Du was in a good mood.
"I heard from the concierge that Yan'er and Luo Wuchen were having a lively conversation at the gate of the mansion an hour ago. How did Yan'er get to know him?"
Su Yuyan answered every question and told Mrs. Du everything that happened that afternoon.
Mrs. Du was surprised after hearing this.
"Yan'er actually knows medicine?"
Su Yuyan nodded.
"In the village where I used to live, there was a doctor with superb medical skills. He had no sons but three daughters. His youngest daughter and I grew up together as friends."
"That girl was very passionate about medicine and studied very hard to the point of burning her head and piercing her legs with a needle to learn medicine. She also took it as her responsibility to inherit her father's legacy, so I learned a lot from her."
Mrs. Du never doubted anything her daughter said.
"My Yan'er is loved by everyone. Before, there was the Young Master of the Lin Family, and now there is the Judge of the Luo Court."
"These two gentlemen are both handsome and elegant. I wonder what Yan'er thinks of them?"
Su Yuyan: “…”
"Mother, that Lin Heqing really came here to hear about the epidemic."
"As for Luo Wuchen, it's purely because my medical skills are superior to his, and he himself is a medical geek, so he wants to learn some medical knowledge from me."
"Yan'er has no man in her heart, only her mother."
Mrs. Du was so coaxed by her that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Just saying things to make my mother happy."
At the same time, the doorman came to report.
"Miss, Judge Luo has requested an audience. He's come to give you some mosquito repellent sachets to express his gratitude. He also thanks you for your promise to impart all your medical knowledge without reservation."
Su Yuyan said.
"He's quite polite. Since he's made the special trip, let's take him to the reception room. I can afford the mosquito repellent and epidemic prevention sachet he gave me anyway."
After the doorman took the order and left, Mrs. Du looked at her daughter.
"It's so late. Since Yan'er has no man in her heart, mother will let Xiu'er accept it on her behalf."
Su Yuyan: “…”
Mrs. Du even started to use provocation.
"Although I don't have a man in my heart, I can have a man around me."
"The humble and modest judge Luo is a real eye-catcher. I'll go take a look and I'll definitely have a good sleep later."
After several days of Su Yuyan's brainwashing, Mrs. Du had already let go of all the rumors about her daughter:
Now that her daughter finds different ways to cheer her up every day and she herself has not committed suicide because of the broken engagement and loss of virginity, Mrs. Du is content.
So Mrs. Du looked doting.
"Go ahead."
Su Yuyan was still some distance away from the reception room, and Luo Wuchen, who was waiting inside, stepped forward to greet her.
"It's my fault for coming to your house so late to disturb you."
"It's just that I feel a little guilty accepting Miss Su's generous teachings without having to pay anything, so after returning home, I specially prepared a sachet to repel mosquitoes and prevent epidemics. I hope Miss Su will accept it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the lid of the brocade box in his hand and pushed it in front of Su Yuyan.
