Chapter 271 The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (18)
"Oh, are you finally willing to look away?" A sour voice sounded behind him.
Su Lingyu suppressed all the thoughts in her mind and smiled politely: "What do you mean by that, Your Highness Prince An? I just saw that the man had an unusual aura and took a few more glances. How can I be reluctant to part with him?"
The man called Prince An snorted coldly: "It's better this way."
Seeing his strange expression, Su Lingyu concluded that he must know the man's identity.
After looking at Prince An's somewhat similar eyes for a moment, Su Lingyu lowered her eyes and asked directly, "Does Your Majesty know who that person is?"
Zhao Sheng glanced at her and said, "What if you know, what if you don't know?"
Su Lingyu lowered his attitude a little: "Please teach me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Sheng stared at her for a long while, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and sat down, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and his voice unconsciously carried a mocking tone: "He is my brother."
Su Lingyu understood it in her mind. She had guessed it when she saw that Zhao Sheng looked similar to that man. She didn't expect that the two were actually related by blood and were brothers.
So, that man is also a prince?
The information about all the nobles in the capital flashed through Su Lingyu's mind for a moment, and he blurted out, "Your Highness the Prince of Jin?"
Zhao Sheng glanced at her and thought she was smart.
Zhao Sheng hummed in response, but the disgust in his eyes was undisguised, showing that the relationship between the two brothers was extremely bad.
Su Lingyu could understand it. After all, they were from the royal family, and the brothers were not siblings but competitors. Naturally, they would hate each other as much as they could.
However, the crown prince of the Daqing Dynasty has already been established. If these people want to fight for the throne, shouldn’t they first work together to defeat the crown prince?
An extremely rebellious thought to the people of the time flashed through Su Lingyu's mind, but was quickly ignored. There was still one thing that needed to be clarified.
"My Lord, can you help me check something?"
Zhao Sheng turned the jade ring in his hand, looking uninterested: "You order me around? Don't forget, this Wuweizhai can only be opened thanks to me. What qualifications do you have to order me around?"
Su Lingyu smiled politely: "That's true, but the prince has also made a lot of money."
The revenue generated in the first half month of opening alone has more than tripled the investment. As long as the business is managed properly, you can just sit back and wait for the money to flow into your pocket.
Of course, Zhao Sheng’s identity did provide a lot of convenience, so the restaurant’s profits were split 30% and 70% between the two of them.
Su Lingyu is third, Zhao Sheng is seventh.
It seems unfair, but this world is inherently unfair, and Su Lingyu accepts it well.
The woman's smiling face without any fear aroused Zhao Sheng's interest: "You are so sharp-tongued. Tell me, what do you want me to help you find out?"
Su Lingyu bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, please help me check the relationship between His Royal Highness Prince Jin and the woman beside him."
woman?
Zhao Sheng didn't pay attention to the woman next to him, but when he mentioned women, a person quickly popped up in his mind, the life-saver who was taken into the mansion by Zhao Ce some time ago.
I heard that the person was a woman, and was favored by Zhao Ce because of her life-saving grace.
Oh, lifesaver.
Thinking of the failed assassination, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed with hatred.
It was such a pity that he failed to successfully kill his good brother, failed to see Concubine Shu's miserable look, failed to avenge his mother, and even cut off one of his own arms for this, losing the power he had worked so hard to build up.
Sooner or later, he will take revenge.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken, his facial expression kept changing, and he seemed to be unable to extricate himself from some emotion, Su Lingyu called out to him again.
"Your Majesty?"
Zhao Sheng came back to his senses and put away all his emotions. He knew the answer but didn't say it directly. Instead, he said, "I know it and I will help you find it."
"But you have to tell me first why you want to investigate that woman?"
Su Lingyu hesitated for a moment and confessed, "She was originally a sister from the same village as mine. I want to know what happened to her after she left the village, whether she encountered any bad things, and why she ended up with His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
Su Lingyu didn't suddenly feel kind enough to help this little girl from the same village. After all, to her, who traveled through time from the 21st century, Su Yu was just a stranger.
She was just a little curious.
Curiosity is human nature, and Su Lingyu is not going to suppress it.
Zhao Sheng was not interested in her interpersonal relationships: "I know, I'll help you check it out."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this time, Zhao Ce was also thinking about Su Lingyu.
What kind of witchcraft was that? Who was that woman? She could make him lose control of his body.
If Su Yu knew what he was thinking, she would definitely tell him passionately that it was true love! It was heart-throb! It was destiny!
Unfortunately, Su Yu didn’t know, and was still regretting that she didn’t meet the heroine today.
The system suddenly corrected: [We encountered it. ]
Su Yu was shocked: [What did you encounter? The heroine? When? Why didn’t you tell me? ]
The system licked its paws: [When we first entered, the person serving dishes in the lobby was the heroine. It was the host's fault for not paying attention. ]
Su Yu: [……] Who would pay attention to a waiter serving dishes? The boss actually serves dishes. The heroine is too down-to-earth.
It is easy to feel sleepy after eating.
Su Yu leaned against the wall of the car, her body swaying back and forth, which was particularly hypnotic. Suddenly, she felt a chill in her heart and remembered something.
In the original plot, the heroine was able to run the restaurant successfully because the hero helped her to deter the villains. Now the hero and heroine haven’t met yet, so what’s going on with the restaurant?
Su Yu was not completely ignorant of the unspoken rules of the capital.
Looking out through a corner of the curtain on the car wall that was blown up by the wind, every shop building of a certain size must have a powerful force behind it, otherwise it would have been closed down by some red-eyed monsters long ago.
So without the male protagonist's intimidation, who would be the person behind Wuweizhai?
Su Yu felt more and more sleepy as she was thinking to no avail. She had not gotten much sleep these days because of the torment she had from practicing calligraphy.
His head slowly lowered and his eyelids gradually closed.
Zhao Ce's shoulders suddenly sank, his thoughts were interrupted, he glanced sideways and saw the little girl sleeping soundly on his shoulder with her eyes closed and breathing evenly.
Zhao Ce's eyes softened and he whispered to the driver to drive slower and more steadily.
Maintaining this posture, the carriage slowly drove towards the palace.
After returning home, Zhao Ce did not wake up Su Yu, but directly picked her up and sent her back to the house.
Chunmei had already been frightened, and now she trembled when she saw Zhao Ce: "Prince, Prince."
It was not until she saw the person in Zhao Ce's arms that the fear on her face was replaced by confusion.
It was over. There was something wrong with her eyes. She actually saw the prince himself carrying the village girl in his arms. The village girl was sleeping soundly, and there seemed to be a trace of shiny liquid at the corner of her mouth.
Not only Chunmei, but all the servants in the palace collectively doubted their eyes.
Because Zhao Ce carried Su Yu all the way back to the house, he met countless servants on the way. The news spread quickly and caused a sensation throughout the palace.
"Take good care of the girl."
Chunmei replied blankly: "Yes."
Zhao Ce glanced at her and said nothing. He turned and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to say, "When the girl wakes up, remember to remind her to finish practicing her calligraphy today."
"……yes."
Chunmei mourned for Su Yu in her heart for a second. Even if she fell asleep, she couldn't escape the curse of homework.
The housekeeper came over at the right moment to report: "Your Highness, during the time you were away from home, someone came from the palace and said that His Majesty and His Majesty asked you to come to the palace as soon as possible."
Enter the palace quickly?
"What happened?"
The housekeeper said respectfully, "I don't know."
Zhao Ce seemed to be thinking about something, recalling what his mother had whispered in his ear some time ago. A look of distress flashed in his eyes, and he vaguely guessed what it was about.
"Got it, go get the car ready."
