"It seems I have nothing to say to Princess Su?"
Liu Taipu stopped and turned to look at Su Miao.
Although the girl was young, there was an inexplicable sense of authority in her eyes when she looked at him.
Could it be because he's been following too much of Shen Changji?
"Are you sure you don't have any? Liu Taipu, you should think this through."
For some reason, he felt that Su Miao was somewhat familiar.
But I can't quite put my finger on what feels familiar about it.
He thought about it and agreed.
Seeing this, Tao'er reached out and helped Su Miao down from the carriage.
The two of them hadn't gone far when the people Shen Changji had arranged were waiting for them not far away.
Whenever Su Miao is in danger, people immediately rush to her aid.
Upon seeing this, Liu Taipu couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Sure enough...she loves him very much!
Even his beloved daughter didn't receive such special treatment.
If he hadn't met Su Miao, he would have really thought, like the outsiders, that Shen Changji was a man who was indifferent to women.
The silence isn't because I'm distant, but because I haven't met someone I like!
Liu Taipu couldn't help but feel a little fortunate that he hadn't been with Su Miao on Liu Jiaojiao's birthday that day, otherwise...
I doubt Shen Changji would be so easy to talk to him now.
However, as far as a woman is concerned, although Su Miao is currently favored, it doesn't mean that she will still be favored in the future!
Su Miao could feel Liu Taipu looking her up and down.
After all, Shen Changji rarely took women with him when he went out, let alone to see Liu Jiaojiao, his former fiancée.
"Master Liu, to make a long story short, have you seen a man named Pei Yu?"
When Su Miao said these words, it was completely different from her usual way of talking to him; her eyes were filled with coldness.
Upon hearing this name, Liu Taipu instantly understood why he felt a sense of familiarity when he met Su Miao.
So it was because of Pei Yu.
However, Liu Taipu pretended not to recognize him.
"I don't know what County Princess Su means. This is the first time I've heard of this person."
Liu Taipu spoke in a calm and composed tone.
Thinking it over, he couldn't help but tentatively ask, "What? Is this person the one Princess Su is interested in?"
When Pei Yu arrived, he did hear that this young doctor had a sweetheart, who seemed to be a beautiful woman.
They were both of the right age, and he was just waiting for her to return and marry him when he achieved success.
It seems the two are childhood sweethearts and have a very good relationship.
However, he didn't pay much attention; his focus was solely on Pei Yu's fair and delicate face.
He had seen many beautiful women, but men as gentle and refined as Pei Yu, whose every move exuded elegance, were extremely rare.
He was willing to recommend him to the Emperor, after all, Pei Yu had come this far and was only missing the recommendation of the court officials.
And he, Liu Zhengyuan, wanted to be that person.
It can even guarantee his meteoric rise in rank.
There are conditions, though.
Upon hearing the conditions, Pei Yu refused without even thinking.
He could only sneer at Pei Yu and say, "You're so clueless, you blockhead!"
After leaving the Liu residence, Pei Yu tried to find other people, but was rejected by all of them.
He originally thought Pei Yu would come back to find him, but unexpectedly, he returned to Zhangshui City without hesitation, carrying his pride with him.
But on the way back, an accident occurred.
Even when he went to Hanye Temple and saw Liu Jiaojiao crying, he was somewhat stunned.
Fate is truly a mysterious and wondrous thing!
Pei Yu rejected him, but fate led him to his beloved Jiao Jiao.
As the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife, Liu Jiaojiao had been betrothed to Shen Changji since childhood. In addition, when the incident occurred, news came that Shen Changji had won a great victory and was preparing to return to the capital.
She wouldn't allow any stain on her reputation, so she took drastic measures.
He was also glad that Pei Yu was of low status, so he could still suppress some things.
Who would have thought...
Su Miao stared at Liu Taipu, and even though the night shrouded his face, she still sensed that something was wrong.
"I haven't even explained how I met him, and Liu Taipu already thinks he's the one I'm looking for?"
Her voice was icy, and the corners of her mouth were curled up, but there was no hint of a smile.
Upon hearing this, Liu Taipu's expression remained unsmiling. He looked at Su Miao and paused for several seconds before speaking.
"I was overthinking it."
"Master Liu, do you really not know?" Su Miao asked again.
"I don't know."
"Master Liu had better understand that I am not someone to be trifled with." Su Miao's voice was deep and powerful, her eyes like a deep, cold pool.
Liu Taipu seemed to have heard a joke.
"Do you think General Shen would go against me for the sake of a nobody? You're dreaming!"
If you want to maintain General Chen's current favor towards you, you'd better behave yourself.
Don't think you're something special just because you can use your influence in bed.
Liu Taipu snorted and walked away from Su Miao without a care.
This ambiguous statement alone confirmed Su Miao's suspicions.
She could take down Liu Jiaojiao, let alone a mere servant like Liu Taipu...
Liu Taipu was helped into the carriage, completely ignoring Su Miao.
She's just a little girl.
However, his carriage had only been gone a short while, and perhaps because he had eaten too much at night, he couldn't help but need to relieve himself.
I glanced around; it was all dark.
After hesitating for a long time, Liu Taipu finally got off the carriage.
Just as he was finding a good spot, a hand behind him pushed him hard.
He fell into a huge pit.
But the discomfort was intense. As soon as he fell in, before he could even see what was happening, his pants ripped open and he was pulled out.
