However, Su Liyue quickly rejected this idea. How could Su Zhengsong push the child in front of her just to release Su Jingchu from house arrest?
If she were Su Zhengsong, she would just keep this move tightly in her hands and wait for the critical moment to use it.
But, if it’s not seeing the child, what else could she be interested in?
Su Liyue couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she simply stopped thinking about it. After all, she herself didn't know what she was interested in.
Seeing the servant waiting anxiously, Su Liyue said calmly, "What did he say?"
The servant heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and hurriedly said, "Prime Minister Su said he is waiting for the princess at Yasong Residence."
This means that Su Zhengsong left after having someone convey the message twice, and he was determined that he would go.
That being said, the stakes Su Zhengsong is offering this time should be quite high, and she might really be interested in it.
Thinking of this, Su Liyue changed her mind and decided to meet Su Zhengsong.
So, Su Liyue waved her hand and said, "Alright, I understand."
The servant heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and quickly retreated.
Su Liyue only glanced at the servant's back and then looked away.
After the servant left, Tingyu said somewhat displeasedly, "The servants in this palace are so easily bribed. It must be because the prince is reluctant to give them monthly wages."
Otherwise, why would the servants in the palace be so concerned about passing messages to outsiders that they forget who their masters are.
Su Liyue disagreed. "This has nothing to do with harsh treatment. Someone has to report it anyway. Sometimes bribes are just a way to pass on a message."
As a servant, you should know what you should and shouldn't do and just do your duty.
As for receiving payment for passing on messages? Words have to be passed on anyway, and receiving payment is better than receiving no payment at all.
Thinking of this, Su Liyue looked at Tingyu with a smile, "If someone pays you to pass on a message to me, you can take the money. As for what I do after the message is delivered, that's my business."
As I said, if you don’t take the money, you’ll lose it. If you don’t make money, you’re a bastard.
Tingyu thought about it after hearing what he said, and felt that this was true, so he didn't say anything else.
Su Liyue stood up and glanced at Xirong, Tingyu, and Wenlan, finally landing on Wenlan. "Come with me later."
Afterwards, Su Liyue took Wen Lan to Yasongju.
But as soon as Su Liyue stepped into the private room, Wen Lan was stopped by the guards at the door.
"Princess, the Prime Minister only wants to see you."
Su Liyue then asked Wen Lan to wait at the door and went into the box herself.
There was incense burning and tea brewing in the box, and the aroma of the fragrance and the tea were intertwined, which was very pleasant.
At this time, Su Zhengsong was sitting there sipping tea, looking relaxed and comfortable.
Su Liyue just watched coldly, without moving forward or speaking a word.
After a while, Su Zhengsong put down the teacup and looked up at Su Liyue.
At this moment, Su Zhengsong looked at Su Liyue with an indescribable depth in his eyes, as if he was looking at someone through Su Liyue.
"You look more and more like your mother." Su Zhengsong said coldly.
Su Liyue said calmly, "It's normal for people to look like their parents."
Su Zhengsong's expression changed when he heard this, and his eyes looking at Su Liyue became noticeably more gloomy.
Su Liyue seemed to have seen nothing and went straight to find a seat farther away from Su Zhengsong and sat down.
She won't drink tea.
Drinking tea with someone like Su Zhengsong is a waste of tea.
"Do you know why I called you here?" Su Zhengsong said.
Su Liyue: "I'd like to hear the details."
Su Zhengsong stared at Su Liyue. Looking at Su Liyue's face without any emotion, he felt like he was punching cotton.
In the end, Su Zhengsong decided not to beat around the bush and directly took something out of his arms.
Su Liyue looked at the thing and saw that it was a very strange jade pendant.
The jade pendant is round and white, milky white, yet very translucent.
Judging from the milky white and translucent color, it must be a good piece of jade, but unfortunately this jade has "flaws".
There are some red lines in the center of the jade, which seem to be natural, but also look like bloodshot.
Those 'blood threads' formed a shape in the crystal clear jade that looked like a dragon, a fox, or something else... In short, it was impossible to tell what it was, like a totem.
It's very strange, but one can't help but take a few more glances.
Moreover, for some reason, Su Liyue felt that the shape was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Su Liyue's intuition told her that this jade pendant was not simple and must be related to her.
Su Zhengsong had been observing Su Liyue's expression. Seeing that Su Liyue was interested in the jade pendant, he couldn't help but look at it and frowned slightly.
This jade was left by Rong Qingyan. He didn't know its origin, nor did he know what the jade pendant represented. As soon as the jade pendant came into his hand, he subconsciously hid it. Even Sun Meng didn't know of its existence.
Originally, he had no intention of taking out the jade pendant, but he really had no other bargaining chips, so he thought of it.
However, when he saw Su Liyue staring at the jade pendant, he suddenly felt a little regretful.
If nothing else, he didn't want to call Su Liyue Ruyi.
After all, Su Liyue's existence constantly reminded him of the humiliation he had suffered.
But in the end, Su Zhengsong did not take the jade pendant back. He just said coldly, "If you can let Jing'er attend the Spring Banquet as usual, I will give you this jade pendant."
Upon hearing this, Su Liyue shifted her gaze from the jade pendant to look at Su Zhengsong.
However, Su Liyue did not respond to Su Zhengsong's words, as if she had no interest in Su Zhengsong's proposal at all.
