Chapter 105 Uncle and Nephew Shared
No longer paying attention to Su Ye, Su Rui rubbed her wrist and got into the car, brushed past Su Ye and drove away.
Su Ye was holding his breath so hard that his back teeth were about to be crushed, but he had no way to deal with her.
He didn't want to go back home, so he turned around and walked out again.
"Hey! Young Master Su, why are you back again? Why don't you go back home?" In the carriage, the second young master of the Zhang family, who had not left yet, leaned on the window and asked Su Ye with a smile.
Su Ye waved his hand impatiently, "Why reply? It's all annoying."
"That's perfect. There's a new flower boat on Chengming Lake. Let's go and have some fun."
Su Ye had known about the new flower boat on Chengming Lake for a long time. He also heard that the two top courtesans on it had their own merits and abilities, and many dignitaries spent a lot of money to visit it.
Nowadays in Shengjing City, those who have not been to the flower boat would feel embarrassed to go out and talk to others.
Su Ye also wanted to go, but he was short of money.
A few days ago, Su Rui wanted to get her dowry back, and she emptied out 90% of the money in the mansion. Now Zhou Yao is getting married and needs to prepare a dowry, so all the money left in the mansion is used for this.
If he were to say, Zhou Yao was just a concubine, and she could be carried in in a sedan chair, so why would she need a dowry?
But even though his father allowed it, he didn't dare to say it and could only complain in his heart.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't go." Su Ye was short of money, so he could only wave his hand and give up.
"Go ahead. You'll be free anyway when you return home. Come on, I'll treat you!"
Since someone was treating him to a meal, Su Ye naturally wanted to go and take a look at Huachuan Qiankun.
As he climbed into the car, he added, "I'll treat you next time," to save face.
Young Master Zhang smiled without saying anything, and signaled his followers with his eyes as he got into the carriage.
Su Ye was so focused on the flower boat that he didn't even notice that Young Master Zhang's entourage left in the opposite direction when the carriage set off.
Chengming Lake is located in the east of the city, not far away, and is close to several red-light districts. Even during the day, many young men from aristocratic families come here to play.
Some had just arrived, and some had just woken up and were about to leave.
When meeting each other, it is inevitable to exchange pleasantries.
But these greetings were all directed to Young Master Zhang, and few people took the initiative to greet Su Ye.
But originally, they were swapped.
But times have changed. The eldest son of the Zhang family has just made achievements in flood control and will be returning to Beijing for a promotion soon. The Zhang family is thriving.
As for the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, both he and his father, the Yong'an Marquis, had their official positions dismissed because of that damn girl Su Rui, so naturally, others didn't want to get involved.
Su Ye was not convinced, but he could only hold it in.
But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Even when he was sitting in a flower boat, he couldn't muster the slightest interest in the courtesan he had always wanted to see.
"Master, why are you so depressed? Let me feed you some wine." The accompanying boat girl leaned into Su Ye's arms with a wine glass in her hand.
"Get out of here, I'm so annoyed!" Su Ye pushed the man to the ground.
The noise startled the stringed instruments and the dancers and stopped them. Young Master Zhang pulled his hand out from the clothes of the boat girl next to him and waved it, asking everyone to step back.
Then he picked up the wine glass and walked over to sit next to Su Ye, asking in confusion: "Brother Su, what's wrong? Aren't we here to have fun? Why do you have such a stern face?"
"I'm upset. Forget it. I won't play anymore."
Su Ye stood up and was about to leave, but Zhang Ershao held him back. "Hey, why are you leaving? What can't you tell your brothers? It's all because of your sister."
After being exposed, Su Ye stopped running.
There was no one to talk to when he returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Zhou Yao was a liar; he was not willing to talk to Liang Shi now; not to mention the Marquis of Yong'an, he didn't dare to say anything at all.
Feeling depressed, he grabbed the wine glass and drank it all, then sat down angrily and cursed: "She is an ungrateful person who can't tell good from bad. I kindly reminded her and pulled her a little harder, and then she used a knife on me. Tell me, what kind of sister is this? She is clearly a debt collector."
"Your sister is indeed amazing. Even though she was wrongly accused five years ago, she could have survived five years in a place like the border and still managed to come back. She must be a ruthless character. It's not surprising that she dared to use a knife. She might have killed people in the border area."
Thinking back to Su Rui's ruthless and murderous look, Su Ye couldn't help but shudder.
"From what I can see, your sister really hates you guys."
"Hate us? What right does she have?" Su Ye was dissatisfied.
"You have wronged her! If you hadn't protected her and helped her, she wouldn't have been punished as a military slave. What kind of place is the border? It's a place full of ghosts. Five years. She knows she was wronged, and she must be resentful."
Su Ye felt uneasy, but he still said stubbornly, "She didn't explain it clearly at the beginning. I...how could we know! Besides, she has already taken revenge on Zhou Yao. What does it have to do with us?"
"If she only wanted revenge on your stepsister, would she treat you like this? After five years of torture, she's no longer the same person she used to be. She would hate everyone else, but now she's only drawn her sword against you. When she marries Prince Yong and becomes a concubine, do you think she will be good to your Yong'an Marquisate, or bad?"
No need to think, the result is obvious.
"What's more frightening is that she is favored by Prince Yong, and there is no official wife in the mansion. If she gets a boy, he will be the eldest son, and she might be made the official wife. Then, it will be easy for her to crush you to death. She can torture you in any way she wants. Tsk tsk, Brother Su, just saying this makes me scared. Forget it, forget it, I'm not going to play around anymore, and I'm going back."
Young Master Zhang shivered and quickly stood up to leave. The look in his eyes was the same as the one those people outside had just given Su Ye, avoiding him as if he were the plague.
Su Ye's pride was irritated. He grabbed his hand tightly and said angrily, "Zhang Chen, we are brothers! You are also avoiding me?"
Young Master Zhang seemed to be having a hard time explaining it. He pursed his lips in embarrassment, but ultimately sat back down with a bitter expression. "That's right, brother, I'm telling you this. Your sister is evil and disregards family affection. It's okay if she doesn't have power, but...it's terrible."
"Not in power?" Su Ye grasped the key point and said in surprise, "Yes, as long as she can't marry Prince Yong and become a concubine, then she won't be in power!"
"But the imperial decree granting the marriage has already been issued." Young Master Zhang reminded.
Su Ye's joy, which had just started, immediately faded away.
Yes, the emperor has granted me a marriage, so how could I not get married?
"However, if something goes wrong, like a scandal, the Emperor won't let Prince Yong marry her, right?"
"Scandal? What do you mean?"
"Prince Yong isn't the only one who likes your sister. There's also that one. They're both uncle and nephew, and she's not ugly enough. I have a way to get her away, but it depends on whether you're willing to let her go."
Uncle and nephew share it, doesn't that mean...
Su Ye was a little hesitant.
"If you are reluctant, just pretend I didn't say anything. We are brothers. Don't tell Princess Yong that I said such words in the future." Young Master Zhang stood up swiftly and was about to leave.
The four words "Princess of Prince Yong" echoed in Su Ye's ears like a curse, and his mind was full of Su Rui's fierce eyes and the cold dagger today.
"She's already been slept with by someone, one more won't make much difference!"
