Chapter 180: The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (9)
Cui Ling did not look at him, nor did he think this was a provocation, or rather, he did not take the eldest prince seriously at all. He just kept his eyes on Su Yu and slowly opened his mouth.
"Su Yu, come here."
This was the first time Cui Ling called Su Yu's name.
Even Su Yu herself didn't think that Cui Ling would remember her name.
After being stunned for two seconds, Su Yu suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly tried to withdraw from the eldest prince's arms, but a big hand grabbed her shoulder and held her down tightly.
"Don't listen to him."
The eldest prince seemed to be confronting Cui Ling: "What is Hanzhang doing? You are only Miss Su's cousin, not her brother, let alone her father. What qualifications do you have to order her around? It's Miss Su's business who she wants to stay with. She should be the one to choose."
After saying this, the eldest prince lowered his head slightly and said in a low and sticky voice: "What do you think, Miss Su?"
The voice entered Su Yu's ears. She couldn't help but tremble. Her cheeks flushed uncontrollably. She lowered her head shyly and said in a timid voice: "I, I don't know..."
We can't afford to offend either side, so of course we should let them fight it out among themselves.
Su Yu appeared to be submissive on the surface, but in fact she was just sitting on the mountain watching the fight between two tigers.
Cui Ling was not surprised by her answer. After all, she was a woman and had no one to protect her, so it was understandable that she was a little timid.
If anyone is to blame, we can only blame some evil people with evil minds.
It was obvious to everyone present who the evil person was.
Cui Ling winked at Bai Shan and said, "Su Yu, Madam Yun is sending people to look for you everywhere. It must be something urgent. If it's nothing important, go back as soon as possible."
Bai Shan understood, quietly retreated, and went straight to Madam Yun's courtyard.
Su Yu secretly raised her eyebrows. No wonder everyone said that the male protagonist was smart. In this situation, introducing a third party, Madam Yun, and getting rid of her with good reason would not only achieve the goal, but also avoid getting involved with the eldest prince. It was a two-birds-at-one deal.
Su Yu was very cooperative and immediately showed anxiety: "Aunt is looking for me? I'll go back now..."
His shoulders were pinned down again, unable to move.
The eldest prince didn't buy it and sneered, "I just walked with Han Zhang, how come I didn't know someone was looking for Miss Su? Or is Han Zhang deceiving us?"
"Your Highness was absent-minded just now, it's normal that you didn't see it."
The eldest prince narrowed his eyes and said, "No matter how absent-minded you are, you can't be so absent-minded that you can't even see the big movement of someone looking for someone in the mansion, right?"
Cui Ling looked back and said, "There are many people in the palace, so it's not surprising that Your Highness went off the topic for a while."
There was a lot of tension between the two of them as they exchanged words.
As the source of this dispute, Su Yu is the target of public criticism.
At this moment, she was sandwiched between the two of them, not daring to say a word.
The others had lowered their heads and disappeared during their argument, but that didn't mean they couldn't hear anything.
Everyone was amazed and marveled at how amazing this cousin was. She could make the eldest son, who was usually cold-tempered, and the eldest prince, who was of noble status, fight for her.
Beauty is no more than a disaster.
Cui Yue was almost angry to death. Why did her brother care so much about that woman Su Yu? Has he forgotten Sister Lin?
Too bad no one dared to interrupt this tit-for-tat.
Su Yu was at a loss. She looked at Cui Ling, then at the eldest prince. Finally, she forced herself out of the eldest prince's arms and ran to Cui Ling.
"Cousin, did my aunt really send someone to look for me?"
Cui Ling nodded without changing his expression: "Yes."
Just at this moment, Baishan brought Zitong over. Su Yanyun's courtyard was not far from here. If they ran faster, they could make the round trip in less than a cup of tea.
Zi Tong was panting. The first thing she did after coming here was to care about Su Yu: "Miss, how are you?"
Su Yu shook her head: "I'm fine, Zitong, but did your aunt ask you to come find me?"
Baishan coughed lightly, which was full of hints.
Zi Tong paused and said hesitantly: "...Yes."
As she spoke, she shook her head slightly at Su Yu, indicating that it was not Su Yanyun who asked her to come.
Su Yu guessed it right away, but didn't expose it.
She immediately looked anxious: "Then let's go back quickly."
"Cousin." She turned back to look at Cui Ling, "Thank you for telling me."
Cui Ling's expression softened and he nodded calmly, "Yes."
Then, Su Yu looked at the eldest prince, and was frightened by his gloomy face.
The next moment, it seemed like an illusion. The eldest prince smiled warmly and said, "Since someone is looking for you, Miss Su should go back quickly."
Su Yu's eyes dimmed a little, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
In the end, she said nothing, bowed, and turned away with Zi Tong.
As he watched Su Yu walk away, the warm smile on the eldest prince's face suddenly disappeared and turned gloomy again.
"Han Zhang is still so flawless."
Don't think he doesn't know that the little girl was brought here by Cui Ling's servant.
My good mood after seeing the beauty was completely ruined.
Cui Ling didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he responded to him with the same words: "Your Highness, I will give way to you."
The eldest prince's face became even gloomier. He stared at Cui Ling for a long time, and finally snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.
After the two men walked away, Cui Yue dared to step forward and asked, "Brother, what were you doing just now?"
Cui Yue didn't understand and asked angrily, "That woman hugged you, why didn't you push her away? And the eldest prince, you had a conflict with the eldest prince because of that woman. You clearly said before that I shouldn't talk about the princess in private, but today you had a direct conflict with the eldest prince because of that woman. Aren't you afraid that father will blame you after knowing it?"
Cui Yue was so angry that she was about to die. The servants in the mansion were bribed by that woman. How come even her brother was bewitched?
Cui Ling had naturally considered the consequences before doing this, and he also had a foolproof method.
Cui Yue privately commented that the princess was disrespecting the imperial power, but that was not necessarily the case between him and the eldest prince.
No emperor would like to see his son and his subjects become so close that they are indistinguishable from each other.
What’s more, he is an old emperor who is already in his twilight years and has one foot in the coffin.
Moreover, the eldest prince was vicious, stubborn and self-willed. Cui Ling did not think that he could protect himself by forbearance and concessions.
There is no need to tell Cui Yue all this.
Cui Ling glanced at her and said calmly, "I will tell my mother about what happened today."
Then he turned and left.
Cui Yue was stunned, and her wrist began to ache again.
It’s over. It looks like she’s going to copy the house rules again.
On the other side, as soon as Su Yu walked out from under the two people's noses, she sent Zi Tong away again and waited at the road that the eldest prince had to take when leaving the mansion.
So far, things are going smoothly.
Su Yu felt that Cui Ling's attitude towards her was much better than at the beginning. If necessary, she could consider creating some accidents to improve their relationship. As for the eldest prince, things were still a little short of the right pace, but it was under control.
If it weren't for her personal image, Su Yu would have wanted to open a bottle of red wine with the system to celebrate on the spot.
The system is also happy: [Host, come on, we will definitely be able to get rid of the male protagonist after completing this mission. ]
As long as they get rid of the male protagonist, the host can enter the system space, and they can return to the fast-travel game earlier to get points.
The system is itching to upgrade again.
It wants to buy itself a physical body, not a disposable skin that will be scrapped after one world, but a real body. However, this function can only be obtained after upgrading to the next level.
Now I have accumulated half of the points, and there is still half left.
Unfortunately, the host is stingy and refuses to spend points on it.
The system sighed heavily and began to report the location of the eldest prince without complaint.
If Su Yu knew what it was thinking, she would definitely hang it up and question it, asking which system was so wasteful that it could not only upgrade two levels in just a few worlds, but also wanted to upgrade three levels.
Also, all the gaming equipment and various devices in its system space, which one was not bought by her using her points?
In short, the two parties are now in a state of looking down on each other.
