As soon as Zhu Su returned to his room, he saw Xu Miaoyun sobbing silently in the middle of the room with two streams of tears on her face. He was about to say something to comfort her when she rushed up and hugged him tightly.
Hmm…
Although Zhu Su had grown taller in the past two years, Xu Miaoyun, who was three years older than him, was still half a head taller than him.
Hence, the two of them hugging looked a little funny, but fortunately, there was no one else here.
" Alright," Zhu Su raised his hand and patted Xu Miaoyun's back." Are you scared?”
" Hmm..." Xu Miaoyun buried her head in Zhu Su's neck and responded softly. The girl's breath made Zhu Su's neck itch.
"Um, are you hungry? Should I let the shopkeeper serve the dishes first?" For Zhu Su, this was the first time he had ever seen a new girl in a bridal sedan chair. The way he expressed his love still carried the sincerity and clumsiness unique to a teenager.
"Why do you always care if I'm hungry? Am I a big eater?" Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but smile through her tears. She raised her head and looked at Zhu Su, who was smiling foolishly, and her face couldn't help but blush.
"No, my father always said that eating is the most important thing in the world. Perhaps I was influenced by him since I was young and thought that eating was the most important thing.”Zhu Su led Xu Miao back to the table and sat down.
"So when I care about someone, I must care about the most important thing. Don't you think that makes sense?”Zhu Su winked and made a face at Xu Miaoyun, which made her burst into laughter.
"Your hands aren't cold anymore?" Zhu Su waited for Xu Miaoyun to calm down before he stood up.""Wait for me here first. I'll go and tell the shopkeeper to quickly serve the dishes.”After saying that, Zhu Su poured another cup of hot tea and put it in Xu Miaoyun's hand. After asking her to nod, he left the room and went to the lobby on the first floor.
At this moment, there were no more diners in the hall. When the directorate students left, they had already told the commoners who were watching the corpse Li Tong's identity and had asked the shopkeeper to report it to the authorities.
This time, it immediately caused an uproar. Many people ran away in a hurry without even paying the bill. It would not be long before the news of Li Tong's death in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant spread throughout Jinling.
This was the effect that Zhu Su wanted.
"Shopkeeper Hu, don't look at it. Bring me some food. It must be exquisite and beautiful.”Zhu Su took out two notes worth 100 taels of silver and threw them into the arms of the pale-faced shopkeeper." I'll take care of your loss."”
Shopkeeper Hu came back to his senses and looked at the Immortal Lord in front of him. He opened his mouth and found that he could not make a sound at all. After giving himself another hard slap, he finally said nimbly,"Li…Xu…Chang…"
Shopkeeper Hu suddenly realized that this young master in front of him seemed to change his name every time he came. As a result, he didn't know how to address him.
" Erm, Young Master…" In order not to bring trouble to his boss, Shopkeeper Hu gritted his teeth and said,""You killed the nephew of the Korean government and that dead girl.
In short, the trouble that you've caused isn't small.”
Shopkeeper Hu paused for a moment and felt that he had to finish what he had to say.""I wouldn't dare to lie to Young Master. I've been a waiter for so many years to reach my current position. I'm not sure about other things, but I'm more or less good at knowing people.
So I can roughly guess that you might be the young master of some duke or marquis family. You indeed look fearless.
But…that was the Duke of Korea after all, the Prime Minister who had power over the entire country!
Therefore, I would like to give you a piece of advice. Don't waste your time here. Take the girl upstairs and leave quickly.
After you return home, go to the elders in the family and explain the cause and effect of the matter. Don't hide anything and let them come forward to mediate.
Don't stay here just because you're angry, or hide it from the elders in your family when you go back. At that time, you'll easily fall into a passive position and suffer a huge loss.”
Shopkeeper Hu's words were truly heartfelt. Li Tong's death here was already an unexpected disaster, but if this master who had killed someone and calmly ordered the dishes to be served was sought revenge by the people of the Duke of Korea's Public House…
Shopkeeper Hu felt that even his own boss might be implicated.
It wasn't that he didn't care about his own safety, but he couldn't let down the old master's dying wish.
A man's promise was worth thousands of gold in life. It was just a matter of death!
Looking at Manager Hu, Zhu Su suddenly felt that this man was really a talent. He was planning to send him to the caravan in Koryo, but Zhu Su seemed to have found the leader of this caravan.
"Hua Ming is lucky to have an old servant like you.”Zhu Su didn't pay any attention to Manager Hu's stunned expression after he told the truth. He knocked on the counter impatiently and said," Hurry up and serve the dishes. Don't worry. I'm not afraid of a mere Li Shan Chang."”
With that, Zhu Su returned to the second floor with his hands behind his back. He began to consider how to tell his father and mother that he wanted to marry Xu Miaoyun.
What a joke, since you dared to take advantage of Yours Truly, you don't need to give yourself to me, do you think you can repay me?
"Try this. Is it delicious? Tell me what you like to eat. I'll write it down. I'll find the best chef to make it for you later.”
Shopkeeper Hu was a sensible man. He quickly filled the dining table on the second floor with the dishes of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Zhu Su was diligently putting food into Xu Miaoyun's bowl while humming a happy tune. He had already thought of a good idea. He had to ask his mother and elder brother for help. With their help, he could ask his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, for help.
Although Xu Miaoyun knew that Zhu Su didn't need to worry about Li Shan Chang, she couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw how happy he was,""Little…Zhu Su, why are you…so happy?”
Xu Miaoyun felt a little happy. From today on, she could no longer call Zhu Su "Little Five".
" I've thought of how to ask my father for the imperial edict to bestow the marriage." Zhu Su raised his eyebrows at Xu Miaoyun. The smile on his face was like the spring light in April, so bright that it was easy to cheer up his originally depressed mood.
Xu Miaoyun had long known that Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da had already arranged her marriage with Zhu Su, but she had not expected that Zhu Su knew nothing about this matter…
She had thought that Zhu Su had done it because she was his fiancée…
" You stood up for me just now…" Xu Miaoyun suppressed her embarrassment and continued to ask,""Why are you helping me?"
As the young girl spoke, her eyes were full of charm. She looked at Zhu Su with eyes that seemed to be shining.
"Look at what you're saying!" Zhu Su frowned." We've been friends since we were young. How can I watch you get bullied?"”
The light in Xu Miaoyun's eyes gradually dimmed. She turned her head to the side and replied in a low voice," Oh!”
As if realizing that he had said something wrong, Zhu Su scratched his head and said after careful consideration,""Don't blame me. I wanted to come out and help you when I heard your voice, but I thought that with your personality, you definitely wouldn't want me to see you in a difficult situation.
So…I plan to send my men to keep an eye on them first, and then put on a gunny sack to settle the accounts carefully…"
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun's mood improved a lot. This fool is still on my side, she thought.
Then, Xu Miaoyun deliberately pulled a long face.""What else? Why did you come out after that?"
"Isn't it because someone has come? He even called Brother Li. It's as if they're familiar with each other.”Zhu Su curled his lips and said.
"The onlookers?" Xu Miaoyun asked curiously.
"People who have nothing better to do and watch the show.”Zhu Su explained and immediately got to the point."With the words of the green tea at the end, I realized that you were forced into a corner. At that time, the only way I could think of was to turn this matter into a small gathering between you and me.
Although it's a little inappropriate, based on the relationship between our two families, it's still acceptable.
Although I also wanted to kill him on the spot, considering that you were also present, my actions would undoubtedly affect your reputation.
So I originally planned to take Li Tong and that woman to the side and directly reveal my identity to make them shut up and suppress this matter.
After all, if he dared to speak carelessly, it would be a great crime to frame the Prince.
Once they leave the Drunken Immortal Inn, I will make them shut up forever.
I've never been a soft-hearted person. Those two people have already died for hurting you.
"But…" Zhu Su sighed and looked at Xu Miaoyun, who was blushing again."When that bastard Li Tong acted like he had lost his parents and blurted out his identity.”
Zhu Su couldn't help but clench his fists and say in a more serious tone,""I finally understood who was the mastermind behind this whole thing.
I always thought that Yu 'er framed you and ruined your reputation.
Therefore, when I appeared, although I was also very angry, I was able to temporarily restrain myself.
However, when I realized that Li Tong wasn't a tool for revenge that Yu 'er had used to ruin your reputation, but a despicable suitor, the anger and jealousy in my heart reached its peak at the same time.
Because of his identity, it was not difficult for others to see this.
When I realized that he really wanted to, and was likely to succeed in his plot, marry you.”Zhu Su suddenly stopped talking.
Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but grab Zhu Su's tightly clenched fist. She mustered all her courage and said,""I know, I always knew.”
That day outside the hall, the young man in front of her had argued for her in front of her mother.
Earlier, even Xu Miaoyun didn't know why, but her gaze seemed to have been fixed on him.
Feeling guilty, Zhu Su looked up at Xu Miaoyun. The latter's beautiful eyes did not avoid his gaze. Instead, she looked back at him with the same gentle gaze, her eyes brave and firm.
After that, Xu Miaoyun said what was probably the first romantic words in her life,"
"I've always known that the person who understands me the most in this world is called Zhu Su.”
