Chapter 20
Chen Beihe smiled." In the past month, almost all the officials in the capital have come. We did not agree to their marriage proposal. If word of the Imperial Guard's engagement were to suddenly spread, wouldn't our Chen family offend them all?"”
"That makes sense." Huang Wan nodded.
"That's why we pushed this matter to our son and Xu Yuzhi's spouse finding contest a month ago. At that time, many people saw this, so no one could find a reason to blame us.”
"Then do you know where Yubian is now? I haven't seen him come home for a few days." Huang Wan said.
"The capital is only so big. Where else can this kid hide? He must be staying at his cousin's office.”
......
"Cousin, do you think the senior who borrowed my hand to use the Saint's method that day was the Azure Dragon Commander?”
Chen Yubian's expression was a little melancholic.
Ever since he had protected the emperor that day, he had also become a thousand-man lord, on equal footing with his father.
He was the first person to be promoted to the position of Thousand Households at the age of 18.
He was the most famous person in the capital now. Wherever he went, people would smile and greet him.
Following that, countless matchmakers came to his house.
How could he accept this? He thought that once he was promoted to a Thousand Households, he no longer needed to personally go out to do field work, so he decided to hide in Su Ming's library.
In his eyes, only Su Ming did not know about his display of divine might in the Imperial City.
"I don't know."
Su Ming flipped to a new page and said without even lifting his head.
"Sigh, I suddenly realized that Cousin's life is still the most comfortable.”
After staying in the archives for a few days, Chen Yu said enviously.
"Then you can come and clean up the library when you have time," Su Ming said.”
"Don't.“
Chen Yu hurriedly shook his head." I'm not the kind of person who likes peace and quiet. It's fine if I stay here for a few days. If you ask me to stay here for ten years, I might as well climb to the seventh floor and jump down. It'll be over once and for all."”
At this moment, Chen Yubian suddenly noticed Chen Beihe rushing over.
"Cousin, when my father comes to ask you later, just say that I'm not here.”
After Chen Yu finished speaking, he hurriedly ran upstairs to the case library.
He didn't even need to think about it. His father must have come to catch him for the banquet. The banquet would definitely be a daughter waiting to be married.
Su Ming looked at the book in his hand and said,"Alright."
Chen Yu could not help but let out a sigh of relief when he received Su Ming's agreement.
"Su Ming, is your cousin here?”Chen Beihe said.
"He told me to tell you that he's not here.”
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up as he smiled.
He told me to tell you he's not here
Chen Beihe thought about this sentence in his mind and his face darkened. He could not afford to continue throwing tantrums at this critical moment.
"Chen Yubian, I give you three breaths to stand in front of me. Otherwise, you and I will sever all ties!”
Chen Beihe said in a deep voice.
In the blink of an eye, a figure jumped down from the window on the second floor of the library.
"Father, you can't be so ruthless, right?”Chen Yubian looked distressed.
"Humph."
" Hmph!" Chen Beihe snorted." What do you know? Come with me!"”
As he watched the father and son leave, Su Ming could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Chen Beihe and his aunt were now focusing on Chen Yubian.
Just when he thought he could read in peace, a purple figure suddenly walked over from the direction of the Sutra Depository.
"Su Ming, these are some pastries I made for mother. I made a lot of them, so I brought them for you to try.”
Zhao Ziyi handed over a food box.
Zhao Ziyi's eyes were sparkling with tears. She just stretched out her hand and waited for Su Ming to take the food box.
Sigh.
Su Ming sighed softly in his heart. Why was it so difficult for him to read in peace?
And the appearance that Zhao Ziyi displayed, how could he not see it as a person of two lifetimes?
It was just that he was a mentally mature person and understood very well that once he accepted Zhao Ziyi's goodwill, then his life would probably be stable.
During this period of time, Zhao Ziyi would often come over. As long as she did not see him in the Scripture Depository, she would run to the case study. In any case, Su Ming was always in these two places.
When Zhao Ziyi saw Su Ming's usual indifference, she felt a little resentful and puzzled.
Why was her beauty useless to this person in front of her?
He didn't take the pastries. He didn't even raise his head and said indifferently,"This humble servant greets Third Princess. The case library is an important place of the North Town's Fu Department. No one is allowed to enter. Third Princess, please leave quickly.”
This greeting was not sincere at all.
Zhao Ziyi thought gloomily.
"Su Ming, there are rumors in the capital that I am also incredibly beautiful. Why don't you even look at me?”
"Are you afraid that after seeing my beauty, you won't be interested in other women?" Zhao Ziyi mustered up his courage and said.”
Su Ming said,"There's a saying that goes like this. If a woman lowers her head and cannot see her toes, she will be the most beautiful woman in the world. The third princess is far from it."”
When Zhao Ziyi heard that, she could not help lowering her head to take a look, and her pretty face was suddenly stunned.
"I'm ignoring you."
Zhao Ziyi was so embarrassed that her pretty face turned red. She angrily put down the food box and turned around to run away.
Sigh.
Su Ming sighed softly. It was finally quiet.
