Chapter 111 1 Hold
Zhao Yefan continued to look straight ahead, his eyes on his nose, and said in a serious tone: "Perhaps King Yi heard it wrong."
Su Yi sneered: "Zhao Yefan, look into my eyes and say it again?"
Zhao Yefan raised his eyes to look at Su Yi, and within a moment he couldn't help but let go of his anger and said, "Alright, alright! I remembered it wrongly, okay. Now Miss Mu's jewelry has indeed appreciated in value. It is now worth 500,000 taels of silver. Is that okay?"
Zhao Yefan said angrily, but Mu Jin felt like she had won a prize when she heard it. She ran towards Zhao Yefan excitedly, hugged him, and said happily: "Thank you, Boss Zhao, you helped me a lot."
Zhao Yefan, who was hugged by Mu Jin, scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "Miss Mu, you are too polite. This is what I should do."
Before Zhao Yefan could laugh for too long, he was separated from Mu Jin by a huge force. The grip on his body was so strong that it seemed to tear the skin on his back.
When Zhao Yefan reacted and looked towards the source of the force, he saw Su Yi squinting his eyes and sneering at him as if he was holding a sharp blade.
"As Ah Jin's friend, let me help her pay back the thank-you gift from Boss Zhao."
Zhao Yefan curled the corners of his mouth and said repeatedly that he didn't deserve it. When he looked at Su Yi with eyes that could kill him, he felt that he was finished.
He thought about Su Yi's possessiveness since childhood, and that he had failed to push Mu Jin away the first time. He felt that he was doomed this time. He hadn't even married yet, and it was too unfair for him to die like this. He hurried to make amends.
"Ms. Mu, I don't dare to take credit for this. It's all because King Yi is familiar with our boss. King Yi helped you get this price. I don't dare to take credit for it. If you want to thank someone, thank King Yi."
Mu Jin looked at Su Yi happily. When Su Yi saw Mu Jin smiling brightly again, he quickly opened his arms, waiting for Mu Jin to rush towards him excitedly.
But Mu Jin just smiled at him and said, "Then I would like to thank King Yi."
Su Yi retracted his arm, clenched his fist and placed it under his nose to cover up his embarrassment and coughed, "Ah Jin and the King, you are welcome."
But Su Yi seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but talk to Mu Jin.
"Next time, no matter how happy you are, Ah Jin, you must not throw yourself on other men. For example, let's take Boss Zhao as an example. If Boss Zhao's fiancée knew that you were hugging and kissing her fiancé, and she misunderstood and broke off the engagement in anger, wouldn't that harm Boss Zhao?"
After hearing what Su Yi said, Mu Jin realized how rude he had just been. He was now in Dongyue Country, not in the real world, and the hug was indeed inappropriate.
Mu Jin said to Zhao Yefan a little embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry, please forgive me, Boss Zhao."
Zhao Yefan glanced at Su Yi and smiled awkwardly: "You're welcome, you're welcome."
Mu Jin smiled and said to Zhao Yefan, "Can you please exchange the 50 taels of silver from the sale of these jewels for food and send it to my father at the border?"
Zhao Yefan glanced at Su Yi and saw that Su Yi was drinking tea with his head down, so he immediately agreed to Mu Jin's request.
"Then I'll trouble you, Boss Zhao. I'll write a letter to my father later to tell him about the grain purchase," said Mu Jin.
Since the problem of purchasing grain had been solved for the time being, Su Yi and Mu Jin stood up and said goodbye to Zhao Yefan.
Zhao Yefan escorted Su Yi and Mu Jin out of the gate of Shuyu Tower. After Mu Jin got on the carriage, Zhao Yefan asked Su Yi with a puzzled look on his face: "Please tell me, Lord Yi, when did this prince get a fiancée?"
Su Yi glanced at Zhao Yefan, snorted coldly, and said: "If I say you have it, then you have it."
Su Yi was still displeased with Zhao Yefan because of Mu Jin hugging him just now.
At this time, Zhao Yefan didn't dare to say any more nonsense to him, for fear of angering Su Yi and really killing him with a knife.
"Okay, okay, you are the master, whatever you say goes."
Su Yi said coldly, "Also, pack up the jewels that I gave to Ah Jin and send them to Prince Yi's mansion. Also, send my letter to Grandpa as soon as possible. Raising food and fodder for Marquis Mu Wei cannot wait any longer."
Zhao Yefan said: "Yes, yes, I will do it myself right away."
Su Yi glanced at Zhao Yefan, snorted coldly, mounted his horse and left Shuyu Tower.
Zhao Yefan watched Su Yi leave, then heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "Finally, we have sent these two ancestors away!" Then he shook his head and walked back to Shuyu Tower.
Su Yi had just left Shuyu Tower on horseback when he was stopped by someone. The person raised his hand and saluted him: "King Yi, the master wants to see you."
Su Yi sneered: "Get out of the way."
The man said, "My master must see King Yi this time. Please don't make it difficult for me."
Su Yi was too lazy to waste time talking to that man, so he called Ling Feng and prepared to ride away.
Unexpectedly, the man saw Su Yi was about to leave, and spoke loudly to Su Yi's back anxiously.
"The master said that this matter concerns Miss Mu, so King Yi must go."
Su Yi tightened the reins with both hands, slowly turned around and looked at the man, with hostility slowly creeping into his eyes.
In the Zichen Hall, Su Yi was standing in the center of the hall. He did not salute Su Yi, nor did he look at Su Yi. Instead, he was playing with the folding fan in his hand with a lazy expression. Su Yi was sitting on the dragon throne with a frown on his face. He looked at him with a deep and somewhat helpless look.
Neither side intended to speak first. After waiting for a while, Su Yi couldn't stand Su Yu's gaze anymore, so he spoke first.
"What do you want to talk to me about? If not, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Su Yu was somewhat helpless: "If I don't take the initiative to call you back to the palace, do you never plan to come back to the palace to see me in your lifetime?"
Su Yi sneered: "You have more than one son. If you want people to show filial piety, whether it is in this palace or outside the palace, there are many people waiting for you to summon and want to serve you. Why do you come to embarrass me?"
"Why do you have to stab me in the heart with these words? You know clearly that I favor you the most."
Su Yi showed an impatient expression and said, "Stop! If you want to say this, then don't say it."
Su Yu looked at Su Yi, who was standing in the hall with an impatient look on his face, and his voice was low and somewhat serious.
"At the morning court today, Imperial Censor Qin Minglang and a group of civil officials reported you, saying that you are uneducated and incompetent, and that you only spend your days in brothels and other mansions. Now you have even disregarded human ethics and have had close contact with your third sister-in-law, which has had a negative impact on the reputation of the entire royal family. Is this true?"
Su Yi sneered, "Third sister-in-law? Did my third brother Su Yuntian marry again? No one informed me. If I accidentally helped the new sister-in-law to get married in the Qinlou and Chuguan, it's not my fault. After all, ignorance is innocent. I'll go to the Yunwang Mansion to apologize to my third brother and new sister-in-law some other day."
Su Yu frowned and scolded, "You know I'm talking about Mu Jin, don't talk about other things. Even if Mu Jin has divorced your third brother, she will always be your sister-in-law and a woman you cannot approach!"
