Chapter 288: The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (35)
Wuweizhai is not Prince An’s property. He only enjoys the right to dividends, while the actual management and control are still in the hands of Su Lingyu.
Even so, Wuweizhai was still in trouble twice after Prince An got into trouble.
All this has nothing to do with Su Yu in the backyard.
But today was different. While having lunch at noon, Su Yu discovered that the task progress bar, which had been stable and almost motionless, suddenly skyrocketed. She was so scared that she couldn't even hold the chicken leg.
When I asked the system, it turned out that the male protagonist had already dealt with the minor villain and returned to the palace.
So, the male protagonist already knew that she ran away?
If this trick really works, then she has to hide well. The more the male protagonist can't find her, the angrier he will be, and the faster the task progress bar will increase.
At that time, she won’t have to do anything to complete the task hehe.
Su Yu's beautiful imagination continued until the afternoon.
Looking at Wuweizhai surrounded by heavy soldiers, Su Yu couldn't help but feel weak in the knees. Without a second thought, she ran back to the backyard and hid. She held Su Lingyu's hand and begged, "Sister Lingyu, please help me."
Su Lingyu was also confused: "What's going on?"
Su Yu wiped her tears and said, "Zhao Ce must be here to arrest me. He will definitely cut me into pieces after he takes me back. Sister Lingyu, I don't want to die. Please help me and don't hand me over."
Su Lingyu: "You...please explain it clearly."
Su Yu cried even harder and explained the matter as simply as possible: "This is what happened. I am not Zhao Ce's savior. I lied to him. Now that he has discovered the truth and that I ran away secretly, he must be very angry."
I see.
Su Lingyu finally knew the truth about the life-saving grace, and couldn't help but ask the question that had been hidden in her heart: "Why did you do that in the first place?"
Su Yu regretted it: "I...I think he is good-looking."
Su Lingyu was stunned: "Ah?"
That's it? Just because a man is good-looking, you have to pretend to be his savior and go with him. It sounds a bit magical. It turns out that love brains are not limited by age, race or dynasty.
Su Yu added weakly: "And he has money."
Su Lingyu's complexion looked better. This love-brained guy could still be saved.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Su Yu trembled a little. "Let's not talk about this anymore. He must have broken in. Sister Lingyu, you must help me. For the sake of the 100 taels of silver, you must help me too. Don't hand me over. I can give you the remaining 100 taels of silver after the matter is done."
Hearing Su Lingyu's uncertain tone, Su Yu ran back to her room and hid.
"this……"
Su Lingyu couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
She tidied her appearance and walked to the front lobby.
The guests had been scared away long ago, and the only people in the lobby were the handsome and imposing man seen last time and a group of palace guards.
In fact, there were also imperial guards from the capital that the prince allocated to Zhao Ce out of humanitarianism to help him pursue his wife, but they were all guarding outside.
A sword suddenly crossed Su Lingyu's neck.
Zhao Ce asked coldly: "Where is Su Yu?"
The sword was shining with a cold light. A gust of wind blew by, and the hair lightly brushed against the blade and broke.
Su Lingyu swallowed, quietly took a step back, and the sword moved an inch closer.
As a person who traveled through time from a peaceful era, Su Lingyu prided herself on having broad knowledge, but she couldn't help but feel scared when faced with the ancient dignitaries who did not take human life seriously.
Thinking of the pitiful little girl begging her, Su Lingyu swallowed again: "I don't know who you are talking about."
Zhao Ce raised his thin red lips and sneered, "Whether you really don't know or are just pretending not to know, you know it best in your heart. I'm telling you, today, either hand the person over quickly, or -"
Zhao Ce said in a cold voice: "I will crush your Wuweizhai to the ground!"
The sword blade moved forward a little further, almost touching Su Lingyu's neck. She had no doubt that if she moved even a little, her delicate neck would bleed.
Su Lingyu's voice trembled: "You can't touch me."
Zhao Ce raised his eyebrows and quietly moved the sword blade half an inch outward.
Su Lingyu seized the opportunity and said quickly, "I am your savior. I was the one who saved you in Sujia Village. When you were seriously injured, I fed you medicine. Later, I went to the town's clinic to buy medicine to bandage your wounds. I went to the mountain to see you every day. The food in the cave was left by me. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago, so you can't kill me."
After saying this in one breath, Su Lingyu took a deep breath.
Although she didn't visit him for several days later because of business, she did take good care of him for a few days at the beginning. No matter what, the life-saving grace was real and he could not deny it.
Zhao Ce did not want to deny it: "This king knows."
Su Lingyu was stunned.
Zhao Ce looked at him with disdain: "But so what? Even if I don't want to acknowledge you as my savior, what can you do?"
Su Lingyu: “…” She is blind.
The backyard of Wuweizhai is adjacent to the kitchen and can be reached through two small doors. The yard is very clean and a small pond has been opened to raise koi carp in a leisurely manner, because Su Lingyu heard that koi carp can bring wealth.
Unfortunately, no one was in the mood to appreciate the view of the backyard at this time.
Su Lingyu said with a wooden face: "This is it, Your Majesty, please go in and find her."
Not long after, Su Yu was pulled out by the arm. She looked at Su Lingyu crying with accusatory eyes.
Su Lingyu looked away with a wooden face.
"We have found the people. Your Majesty, can you let them leave now? We are open for business. Who will dare to come to my place for dinner after you make such a scene?"
Zhao Ce waved his hand to let the guards withdraw, and said generously: "The loss of Wuweizhai today will be borne by the palace."
"If anyone causes trouble in the future, just report my name."
Zhao Ce was not such a person who could not distinguish right from wrong. After all, he was his savior, so he didn't mind helping within his ability.
Su Lingyu curled the corner of her mouth: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
I don't know who had just put a sword against her neck and said he would destroy Wuweizhai.
Su Yu was like a quail the whole time, with her head shrunk to reduce her presence. Her wrists were held in the man's hands. There was no hope of escape and she could only wait to die.
The good news is that the task progress bar is finally full!
Just now, Zhao Ce broke into the room and saw her climbing out of the window with one leg already out.
[Congratulations to the tasker Su Yu, system number 233, this task is a complete success. The points will be settled uniformly after leaving the task world. ]
Su Yu was happy at first, but the next moment she felt the air pressure in the room suddenly drop. She turned back tremblingly and met Zhao Ce's dark eyes that were calm but brewing a storm.
Ying~
Su Lingyu: "Your Majesty, take care."
"Wait." Su Yu bravely pulled her arm back, but failed and received a warning look.
Su Yu's neck shrank: "I, I heard everything just now. She is your real savior."
The backyard is so far away from the front lobby, and Su Yu lied without blinking in order to get rid of the male protagonist.
Her voice trembled: "If you want to take her, take her away, let me go, okay?"
Seeing such an evasive attitude, Zhao Ce felt as if his heart was punched by someone and it ached dully.
Staring at Su Yu's evasive eyes, he closed his eyes and said coldly: "I will not arrest the savior today, only the liar."
