At that time, Shi Zairong didn't think much about it. He just thought it might be because of political differences. Now that Tang Chen said this, he suddenly remembered that there might be another reason involved.
Seeing Shi Zairong's gaze fixed on him, Hong Yu quickly distanced himself from the matter, saying, "Although I am from the Huangfu family, I don't know the eldest lady's social circle. Grand Master, please don't look at me or ask me any questions. I know nothing either."
"Yeah, that's right," Shi Zairong wanted to say something, but finally held it back.
Thinking about it carefully, Hong Yu and King Sui didn't seem very familiar with each other. In the past... no, actually, now, he wasn't really sure who Hong Yu had any connections with. In fact, he didn't even seem to know her closest family members. Thinking about it this way, my God, could it be that he had always lived on the Qingqing Grassland, but they just didn't know it?
Shi Zairong had been thinking about life all the time, immersed in his own world and unable to extricate himself, so he had no idea what Tang Chen and the others said next.
Tang Chen seemed to have heard them mention this Prince of Sui when he went to the military camp to deliver food to Wang Yanzhou. "Hong Yu, is the Prince of Sui you're talking about the fourth son of the Emperor of Nanyue?"
Hong Yu asked in surprise, "Well, how come Achen has also heard of this person?"
Tang Chen smiled and said, "It's not that I've heard of him, I just heard of him by chance before. I don't know what happened to him. However, in my impression, the fourth son of an imperial family usually becomes a well-known figure later," such as the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
Hong Yu, however, had a different opinion. Not only was this prince the fourth son of the Nanyue Emperor, meaning he had essentially no chance of becoming emperor, but if he had been more reliable, he wouldn't have been crowned king until a few years ago. "If he ends up becoming that kind of person, Nanyue's fate will be over."
Tang Chen said curiously, "You don't seem to think highly of him. Tell me about it."
Before Hong Yu could refuse, Qiu Liang interrupted, "Madam, there's nothing special about this Prince Sui. There's nothing much to say."
Hong Yu nodded and added, "Actually, it's pretty much the same as what Qiu Liang said. Strictly saying there's nothing special about him seems too one-sided."
Qiu Liang, who usually doesn't judge others, broke the news today and slapped a big label on the Sui King of Nanyue. It was as if he wanted to tell the world that this person was not outstanding at all: "That's stupid, extremely stupid, that's just extraordinarily stupid."
Tang Chen's Shi Zairong looked as if his soul had left his body. He said in disbelief, "Well, if that person is really as stupid as you say, then it seems that the Grand Tutor seems to have a headache about him."
Hong Yu sighed slightly and said, "It's because they're stupid that they like to act on impulse without considering the consequences. Sometimes, such reckless people, when taken seriously, can become formidable opponents."
Tang Chen looked at Shi Zairong thoughtfully, then at Hong Yu, and then at Shi Zairong again, and asked curiously, "So, is there really something going on between you and that King Sui?"
Hong Yu quickly explained, "Of course not. I just happened to meet him once at the Patriarch's birthday party. The rest is what I heard from others. I'm really not familiar with this person."
Tang Chen narrowed his eyes and pressed on, "If you two really don't know each other, then why has he looked so worried since we mentioned King Sui? To be honest, I stepped on him several times just now. If you don't believe me, you can see later that his shoes should have my marks on them. But he didn't seem to react at all, like a fool."
Hong Yu rubbed his temples and pushed Shi Zairong with his hand, "Hey, wake up, it's dawn."
"......" Shi Zairong looked at Hong Yu dully and smiled foolishly, then the next moment, he fell back into his own world.
Qiu Liang was already feeling a bit restless at this moment: "Madam, since the Grand Tutor has something important to say, shouldn't we say goodbye?"
Tang Chen nodded. Qiu Liang seemed very interested in the person who had eavesdropped earlier. She might even want to go check out the situation later. Everything she wanted to know was already clearly laid out on the table, so she didn't want to disturb the two of them from living their own world of two. "Then you stay with him and explain things to him properly later. Just make sure he doesn't misunderstand. We'll be leaving first."
"Okay." By the time Hong Yu realized Tang Chen's hidden meaning, Tang Chen and Qiu Liang had already left the house. He was also preparing to quietly close the door for them: "Wait, Ah Chen, you!"
Tang Chen smiled and said, "What do you mean by 'you'? I've been in a serious relationship before, and I'm not blind. I saw it a long time ago. I just asked you a question and you gave it away. If you want to hide something from others in the future, remember to think about every punctuation mark when you speak. Qiu Liang and I will go check on Zhirou first, so you stay with him for a while. If nothing unexpected happens, we may have to go back in two days."
Hong Yu smiled helplessly and said sincerely, "...Thank you."
Tang Chen added: "Why are you being so polite to me? Don't worry, Qiu Liang is very tight-lipped. As long as Wang Yanzhou and Wang Nianqing don't ask, he won't say a word."
"Um."
As Tang Chen and the other two were walking towards the northwest courtyard, Tang Chen warned them seriously, "I just boasted in front of them. You better stand up for me."
Qiu Liang was tight-lipped, and it was true. However, towards Wang Yanzhou and Wang Nianqing, he was like a transparent person, unable to hide his thoughts at all. He would tell them whatever he knew: "Don't worry, Madam. I usually don't talk to people I don't know well."
Tang Chen said with a strange expression, "Anyway, only a few of us know about this matter. I will definitely not say anything. If I find out that other people know about it, you will have to bear the blame yourself."
He didn't know if Qiu Liang would be blamed for this, but now that they were already in this small town, he was curious about the person who had used a single needle to send a top assassin like Li Xinzhai to the Western Paradise within twelve hours. What kind of expert was that? "Madam, I heard there are several experts in the granary. Can I go and see them?"
