Chapter 196: The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (25)
Zi Tong still felt something was wrong: "But, Miss, do you think the eldest master seems to have misunderstood something?"
Su Yu raised her eyes.
Zi Tong's voice was vague: "I think the eldest master is very special to you. Maybe he likes you a little bit."
Su Yu paused, and then remained silent.
After a long while, she said calmly, "I know."
boom--
These three words were like a loud bang, exploding in the ears of the three people.
Why three people? Because Cui Ling and Bai Shan also heard it.
After walking out of the yard, Cui Ling suddenly turned back.
Bai Shan was puzzled: "Young Master?"
Cui Ling: "There are some things I forgot to mention just now."
Regarding the eldest prince's bad habits, if he was still hesitant and hesitated at this time, he would probably really have to watch Su Yu jump into the fire pit.
Just as I walked to the door, I heard what was said just now, from the moment Zi Tong asked the question, without missing a word.
Bai Shan carefully looked up and observed Cui Ling's expression, but still could not see anything.
The only difference is that the curvature of the corners of the eyes and mouth is colder than before.
At this moment, it was difficult for Baishan to think about what Su Yu meant.
My cousin is really blind. His young master is so much better than that damn eldest prince. The eldest prince is vicious and selfish, has no talent or morals, and is about to fall. However, his young master is noble and chaste. Anyone should know how to choose him.
Baishan regretted that he shouldn't have enlightened the young master in the first place.
Now, the young man finally fell in love, but he encountered such a big blow. How can he believe in love in the future?
Baishan regrets his decision.
Unfortunately, what was supposed to happen is still happening.
Cui Ling was unexpectedly calm at this moment. He stayed here just to see what else Su Yu could say.
Zi Tong was so shocked that she couldn't speak clearly: "You...you you you...you know?!"
Su Yu lowered her eyes to hide the guilt in her eyes: "My cousin is very good and treats me very well, but unfortunately I already have someone in my heart."
Zi Tong was puzzled: "Is the eldest prince really that good? Better than the eldest son?"
This is the reaction a normal person should have. Bai Shan nodded repeatedly. His son is the best man in the world.
Perhaps it was because they were the only two of them here, Su Yu couldn't wait to find a way to vent the distress and sadness that had been weighing on her heart, and finally, she told the truth.
"Of course the eldest prince is not as good as his cousin."
Bai Shan's eyes lit up and he went to see Cui Ling first.
The indifferent aura that surrounded the man with a heavenly appearance softened, and his expression changed from calm to peaceful.
The difference of one word gave Baishan a completely different feeling.
At the same time, he was also really sure that his son was in trouble.
If you are controlled by someone's words, and become hot and cold, and your emotions are out of your control, then you are doomed, right?
Bai Shan looked angry and sad. My poor sir, it was obviously the cousin who took the initiative at the beginning, and we finally got along well, but in the end, I found out that you were the only one who got screwed. Bai Shan is so sorry for you...
No one knows how rich Baishan’s inner thoughts are, and no one is interested in knowing.
"But what future can I have with my cousin?"
Zi Tong stared: "Ah?"
Su Yu picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face. She spoke slowly and firmly, "My situation is already so bad. No matter how bad it gets, I can only be someone's concubine. Why can't I be the eldest prince's concubine instead of someone else's? If he can ascend the throne one day, I will be the imperial concubine. Isn't it better to be the emperor's woman than a minister's woman?"
These words could be said to show that she was sober or crazy. In short, ever since both her parents passed away and she was bullied to the point where she couldn't even protect her family property, Su Yu just wanted to find a backer who was so powerful that no one dared to provoke her.
Zi Tong's face wrinkled into a ball: "Miss..."
She suddenly thought of something and was startled. She hurried out to close the door. If these words got out, she would lose her head.
Cui Ling and Bai Shan concealed their presence and avoided the door until it was completely closed before reappearing.
Zi Tong asked hesitantly, "What if the eldest prince cannot ascend the throne?"
Good question!
Su Yu raised the corners of her mouth, not hiding her scheming and utilitarian side: "Then I will go and ask my cousin. Since he likes me, he will definitely not watch me accompany the eldest prince into trouble."
In other words, Cui Ling was the escape route she found for herself.
Zi Tong seemed to understand something and suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Were all the things you said before false?"
Su Yu stopped crying now. She even had the leisure to pick up the teacup and sip it carefully: "What do you mean?"
Zi Tong swallowed and said, "You wanted to enter the eldest prince's mansion from the beginning, so you wanted to get close to the eldest prince, but you were afraid that your plan would fail, so the eldest prince's liking for you was also the result of your deliberate promotion."
Su Yu raised her soft eyebrows and said, "Not entirely. I do like the eldest prince. As for my cousin, I didn't expect it to be successful."
Su Yu named this trick as the advanced version of playing both sides.
In simple terms, it means finding a backup.
The main reason was that Su Yu didn't expect that after she pulled the eldest prince out, the task progress bar slowly climbed to 75% and then never moved again.
It seems that this mission really does not leave her any loopholes.
She still has to attract hatred herself, and the eldest prince can only help her share a little bit.
Su Yu sighed and then added the following words.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the progress bar moved again, slowly rising to 80%, and then moving forward at a snail's pace of 0.000000... 0.1 percent per minute.
She glanced vaguely at the shadow that slipped through the crack in the door, then lowered her head to sip her tea to calm herself.
Outside the door, Bai Shan was about to kick the door open, but was stopped by Cui Ling.
Cui Ling's eyebrows were drooping, and his long eyelashes cast heavy shadows under his eyes. His eye color could not be seen clearly, and one could only judge from the sudden drop in air pressure that he was in a very bad mood.
Bai Shan looked at him worriedly.
Since ancient times, love has killed people, but in operas, most of the people who were deceived and betrayed were women. Who would have thought that for his young master, it would be the opposite.
In the end, Cui Ling did nothing and turned away.
The servants passing by instinctively stepped aside and greeted: "Young Master."
Cui Ling seemed not to have heard it. His face was extremely cold, his clothes fluttered, and he walked straight past with a frost that was freezing cold.
Looking further back, Guard Baishan, who usually had a good temper, also had a gloomy expression.
The servant shuddered, feeling that something was going to happen.
…
The atmosphere in the Grand Prince's Mansion was also depressing.
"Beng——"
A chair was kicked over.
"Just when——"
A vase was broken.
The eldest prince was still not satisfied, and kicked a servant who was trying to reduce his presence in the corner, causing the man to lie on the ground and beg for mercy.
"That bastard Cui Ling actually plotted against me, and he and that loser Qi Yu plotted against me together! Don't get caught by me, or I will tear them into pieces!"
The eldest prince kicked him again, as if he mistook him for Cui Ling.
The servant howled in pain, half genuine and half fake: "Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me. I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
The eldest prince looked gloomy: "Oh? Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"
The attendant rolled his eyes twice: "I am wrong, I am wrong... I am wrong for disturbing your Highness! It is a mistake for me to be here, I will get out now."
As he spoke, he looked at the eldest prince's expression.
Suddenly, the eldest prince smiled and said, "You are right. You are indeed an eyesore to me."
The attendant breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll get out of here right now..."
"Then go die. Dead people are no eyesore." The eldest prince said in a light voice.
The attendant froze, his teeth chattering: "Your Highness..."
The eldest prince smiled grimly: "Why, you don't want to?"
The servant was about to cry, if he could choose, he would never come to the eldest prince's mansion. Serving the eldest prince who was so unpredictable was harder than serving the King of Hell.
As he was complaining, a ochre purse on the eldest prince's waist suddenly flashed before his eyes.
The attendant suddenly had an idea: "Your Highness, my life is worthless, and I will die if I die, but before I die, I can't bear to see you get angry and ruin your health, so I dare to offer a plan."
The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and gave him this opportunity: "Speak."
It is quite interesting to see a dying person trying so hard to beg for mercy.
