Chapter 11
"Son, did you notice anything wrong just now?”
Chen Beihe asked when he returned to the Chen Residence.
"I don't know."
Chen Yu shook his head and continued,""I think someone helped me in the dark. This person's martial strength is extremely high. It was because of him that Xu Yuzhi's sword did not hurt me. However, after Xu Yuzhi looked at me, blood flowed from her mouth and nose. This is something I did not expect."
"Looks like I was right. There's an expert helping me."
Chen Beihe heaved a sigh of relief.
At his age, if the old man sent the old man away, he would probably be talked about on the streets of the capital in the future.
After all, he was a well-known figure in the capital.
"That daughter of Thousand Households Xu is really too much. Even if my son did anything wrong, she would kill him.”
Su Ming's mother in law, Huang Wan, had a furious look on her face. She had just found out about what had happened, and her face was pale from fright.
"Mother, this matter ends here.”
"Cousin is here today, so let's not talk about this," Chen Yu said with a forced smile.”
Because Su Ming did not have any talent in martial arts, everyone in Chen Manor restrained themselves from talking about martial artists.
"I suddenly realized that I should be better off like Su Ming. Look, if you don't have talent in martial arts and don't know martial arts, then you won't fight and kill."
Huang Wan cast Su Ming a glance and could not help but ask.
If he didn't have talent in martial arts, how could he have earned such a huge business in the capital?
Chen Beihe sighed but did not point it out.
"Since the matter has already passed, let's not fight over this unpleasant matter.”
Su Ming suggested with a smile, then picked up a cup of wine and said,"Thank you for your warm hospitality, Uncle and Aunt. Nephew will give you a toast.”
"Su Ming, this is your favorite braised lion's head. Come, try it.”
Huang Wan said with a smile as she picked up a lion's head and placed it in Su Ming's bowl.
"Thank you, Aunt." Su Ming asked.
"Mother, I want it too."
Chen Yu protested.
"If you want to eat, don't you know how to pick it up yourself?" Huang Wan glared at him, still angry at him.
Chen Yubian:
The whole family had a happy lunch.
Just as he was rejoicing that he had escaped death because of Chen Yubian, his aunt's words suddenly rang in Su Ming's ears.
"Su Ming, your uncle and I have our eyes on the lady from Minister Li's family. What's her name again?”
"Li Fengling," reminded Chen Beihe.
"Yes, it's Li Fengling, the second daughter of Minister Li's family. She's 16 years old this year."
When Chen Yu heard this, the corners of his lips curled up, and there was a hint of ridicule in his gaze when he looked at Su Ming.
It was only at this moment that he could see Su Ming's embarrassed side.
"Su Ming, when are you free? I'll let the two of you meet each other, so we can set a date as soon as possible," Chen Beihe added.
Su Ming was speechless.
They hadn't even seen each other yet, and they were already counting the days.
If he did, wouldn't he just pick a date?
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up.
"Father, I remember that Official Li's family used to hold a high position.”
Chen Yubian couldn't help but say.
Chen Beihe's eyes lit up and he smiled." Sigh, I would have forgotten about this if you hadn't mentioned it. A few days ago, I brought some people out for a walk. Then, the butler of Official Li's family came over and said that Official Li and I hit it off and insisted on having a few drinks with me. It was only after drinking that I found out that he had a second daughter who was as beautiful as a flower."
Li Fengling was Li Heou's sister?
Could it be?
When he heard Chen Beihe's words, Su Ming's heart skipped a beat.
Previously, there were a few times when Sun Yin hid in the document warehouse and did not dare to go out. It was always him who went out to help get the pastries.
Sometimes, there would be a timid girl standing next to the carefree Li He 'ou.
Now that I think about it,
Su Ming immediately understood.
This was because other girls were interested in him.
Perhaps Minister Li knew that as a civilian in the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life. Besides, Chen Yubian would definitely rise to fame in the future, so it would not be a disgrace for his daughter to marry Su Ming.
That was how Minister Li treated Chen Beihe to a drink.
Su Ming sighed in his heart. Li Feng Ling was only sixteen years old. What an inexperienced girl.
If it was in his previous life, he would be a beast if he agreed to this marriage.
"Uncle, actually, nephew already has someone in his heart. Please help me reject it.”
Su Ming said with a wry smile.
"Someone else?"
Chen Beihe looked at him hesitantly and said,""Then tell me, who is this lady you belong to? I will immediately contact her elders.”
During the past few years, Su Ming had been constantly pushing him away, and he had also become very skilled in getting to the bottom of things.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Chen Yu finished a braised lion's head in no time. He picked up the osmanthus wine and poured it into his mouth. It was as if an invisible hand had appeared in his stomach. It broke through his throat and pulled the mouthful of osmanthus wine down.
Sigh, only with cousin here can I drink a mouthful of aged osmanthus wine.
Chen Yu closed his eyes and felt the osmanthus wine swaying back and forth in his mouth. He couldn't bear to swallow it.
Since you want me to say it, then I'll say it.
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up slightly, and he said in a serious tone,"Zhao Ziyi, the Third Princess of the Chengyang Dynasty.”
"Pfft."
Chen Yu poured himself another cup of osmanthus wine and drank it. When he heard this, his eyes widened and he suddenly turned his head to spit out the entire mouthful of osmanthus wine.
"Who are you talking about?"
His eyes widened as he muttered.
"Third Princess."
Su Ming smiled.
"Heh."
The corner of Chen Yu's mouth twitched. He felt that his cousin had probably stayed in the case library for so long that he didn't even know who he was.
Is Princess Chengyang someone you can imagine?
Chen Beihe and Huang Wan looked at each other and shook their heads.
Would they dare to tell the Emperor,'Hello, my nephew has taken a fancy to your precious daughter, let's set a date today?'
"Su Ming, you have to be clear about your status. You're just a civilian Embroidered Uniform Guard. How can you be worthy of a princess?”
Huang Wan tried to persuade him." Even if the princess fancies you and takes you as her husband, her child will still be surnamed Zhao. Do you want the Su family to have no descendants?"”
Had it already risen to the point of having no descendants?
The corners of Su Ming's lips twitched slightly, but according to the culture and customs of this world, this seemed to be the case.
"That's why I know that it's impossible, so I don't plan to marry in this life.”
Su Ming turned his head to look at Chen Yu and continued,"Cousin, on the other hand, is extremely talented in martial arts and is also engaged in field work. The level of danger is extremely high. Now that you are 18 years old, it is time to give birth to the Chen family.”
"Uncle has been promoted to the position of a Thousand Households Lord these years. He has gained a lot of leisure time and has more opportunities to take care of his grandson.”
"I'm not in a hurry. Cousin, before you get married," Chen Yu hurriedly shook his head.
"Shut up!"
Huang Wan snorted, and Chen Yu quickly shut his mouth.
"Old Master, I think so. Our Chen family only has one son, and he's talented in martial arts. Now that he's of age, he'll give birth to seven or eight children for us. Look at how deserted our courtyard is.”
Huang Wan added.
Even now, she still had lingering fears about what had just happened.
If not for someone secretly helping him, his precious son might have died in front of his door.
At that time, no one would be able to inherit the Chen family's huge business.
Hearing Huang Wan's advice, Chen Beihe recalled the scene that happened before dinner. He nodded and said,""That makes sense."
"Chen Yubian!"
Su Ming picked up the braised lion's head and started chowing down on it. On the other hand, Chen Yubian, who had been watching the show, was now being attacked by Chen Beihe and Huang Wan.
Cousin, I'm sorry, I just saved your life, you have to pay something.
Su Ming lowered his head and did not look at Chen Yu's pleading gaze. He was afraid that Chen Beihe and Huang Wan would change their target again.
