Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 277 - Unpleasant Feast

Chapter 277 Unpleasant Feast

“Su Li!”

When hearing this familiar voice, Su Li turned around and looked at the figure coming quickly. She was shocked.

“Gong Min, you are here!”

When she just arrived at Qinghe Province that year, thanks to Gong Xiangjun’s help, she could launch her plans. After Wu Yun died, Gong Min and Gong Xiangjun had no danger, so when she arrived in Yunjing, she paid no attention to the Gong Family. She never thought that Gong Min had already come in Yunjing and got married.

Thinking of these things, Gong Min came to Su Li. Her eyes were full of excitement when she saw the old friend. If Su Li hadn’t helped them, she and her grandma would have suffered a lot. This kindness would never be forgotten in her life.

“Su Li, when I came to Yunjing City with my grandma, the people of Wu Family withdrew suddenly. Because Grandma had a high reputation, she controlled Gong Family again, but based on the level of my family, I had no qualification to find you. Grandma also forbade me to get connect with you, when she knew you are a princess.”

Gong Min said quickly, and her voice was full of joy, “It’s nice to see you.”

Su Li smiled. She could see Gong Min’s true feeling and also understood Gong Xiangjun. There were a lot of things to do in Gong Family. The family couldn’t bear any risk; besides, Su Li was trapped in a big trouble or worse.

“I’m very happy to see an old friend in the strange land.”

At that time, a handsome young man came here, standing beside Gong Min. He looked at Su Li with surprise and admiration, but not covetousness, “Min, I didn’t expect that you knew Princess Li. Why don’t you introduce me to her?”

Then Gong Min was a little bit shocked, and the man who was sitting in the wheelchair was extremely angry.

Princess Li?

Not Mrs. Ling?

Gong Min was a little bit embarra.s.sed. She said reluctantly, “Childe Ling, Li, this is my husband.”

The young man nodded, “I’m Zhao Xiyuan. It’s nice to meet Princess Li and Childe Ling. I have heard that Princess is not only beautiful but also well-learned, and now although I don’t know your knowledge, you are so beautiful.”

“A man from Zhao Family?” Ling Li’s eyes were full of anger. With a low voice, he said, “Just son of a.s.sistant minister. How dare you have parity with me?”

Zhao Xiyuan’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t show his fear. He said with a cold voice, “Min, please take Su Li to the feast. I want to talk with Third Master Ling.”

Gong Min was worried. She looked at Su Li, sighed finally and said with a low voice, “Su Li, I’m sorry.”

“That’s all right.”

Su Li shook her head slightly, stared at Ling Li deeply and then left with Gong Min. Only Ling Li and Zhao Xiyuan stayed there.

Zhao Xiyuan put his hands behind and stood straightly. He was angrier than Ling Li, “Ling Li, I’ll say directly. Everyone knew that you begged His Majesty to agree this marriage and used some dirty tricks to marry Princess Li. You are so nasty!”

Ling Li raised his eyebrows, put his hands on the wheelchair, and stared at Zhao Xiyuan. After a moment, he grinned, “So it is. But what can you do? You are just a son of an a.s.sistant minister.”

“…You!”

Zhao Xiyuan didn’t expect that Ling Li would acknowledge it directly and that he was so arrogant. So Zhao Xiyuan became angrier. Being livid, he abused Ling Li, “Ling Li, you are really an a.s.shole!”

“Whether I’m an a.s.shole or not, it’s none of your business.” Ling Li picked his ear, “You are so lucky to marry a good wife. Otherwise, Zhao Family, ho ho…”

The threat in Ling Li’s words was obvious. Even if Zhao Xiyuan was open and just, he had to hesitate to help Su Li now.

Zhao Xiyuan felt humbled, but suddenly he recalled something, and his eyes became brighter. He said in a cold voice, “Today I know that Third Master Ling is as unruly as the hearsay said. I could not deal with you, but someone could. Just wait and see!”

This talk which was deliberately guided by Ling Li ended unhappily.

After Zhao Xiyuan left, there was no one beside Ling Li except Ling Mo. He looked around, but didn’t see Su Li. He meditated for a short moment.

Zhao Xiyuan was a blunt man, but he was used by someone. The circ.u.mstances of the Wu Family and Ma Family were both in a delicate situation. Ma Jintian and Wu Jin didn’t get married, so who wanted to deal with him right now?

“Master, the feast is coming. Mistress has gone to the hall.”

Ling Mo whispered. Then Ling Li recovered and waved his hand, “Let’s go.”

But at the same time, on the other side of the courtyard, Zhao Xiyuan stood in front of a handsome man who was in a golden robe. He felt distasteful, “Your Majesty, Ling Li is as villainous as the hearsay said! He not only acknowledged his dirty tricks directly, but also threatened me! Does he really believe that no one could suppress him in Dahan Country?”

The man in a golden garment thought of a lot of things, but he kept calm. When he heard what Zhao Xiyuan said, he smiled as warmly as the sunlight, and then he said gently, “Xiyuan, I know you have an abhorrence of sin, especially for the playboys just like Ling Li, but he belongs to the Ling Family. Even my father couldn’t handle him easily. Take it easy. If I have chance in the future, I will handle him immediately.”

Hearing it, Zhao Xiyuan felt relieved and inspired, “Your Majesty is wise. I believe that day will come soon.”

“Ho ho…”

The man in a golden robe smiled, “The circ.u.mstances are not clear, and you must talk less about these words. Xiyuan, you are the person that I value. You have special views on military strategy and state affairs. Whether I will be the emperor or not, I hope you can use your knowledge on nationals.”

Hearing the touching words of the man, Zhao Xiyuan was moved. With his eyes turning red, he said excitedly, “I believe that the emperor will do the right choice, and you will succeed to the throne.”

The man in a golden robe chuckled, and didn’t deny his words, changing the topic, “OK. You go to the feast first. Don’t let your wife wait for a long time. I’ll go soon.”

“Yes.”

When Zhao Xiyuan came, he looked annoyed while when he left, he looked pleased. The man in a golden robe defused his grievance. How could a playboy compare with the future emperor? If His Majesty could succeed to the throne, Ling Li would get in trouble.

Seeing that Zhao Xiyuan left, the smile of the man in a golden robe faded, turning into a deep confusion.

He knew that Ling Li’s marriage was not begged from His Majesty. He was the only prince who could go out.

The man was Fifth Prince, Dongfang Yang, who was the only royal winner in auction house at the end of the year.

“Ling Li acknowledged it directly. Whether he was lazy to explain or not… Why does His Majesty ask us to test Ling Li?”

Dongfang Yang thought a lot, but he was still confused. Why did His Majesty give him such a strange command? Anyway, it was a good chance for him to show himself.

“Fourth Sister holds a feast suddenly. Maybe she also received the command. Eighth Sister is coming. Are they…”

Complicated emotions flickered in Dongfang Yang’s eyes. In the royal family, other princes had no threat to him. First Prince was trapped in Imperial Palace by His Majesty; First Sister was married to a small nation; Second Sister was missing for several years; Eighth Sister was young. The only threat was Fourth Sister. Although His Majesty must want to pa.s.s the throne to a prince, he should be more careful. He would do the best before His Majesty defined the Crown Prince.

…

When Su Li came to the feast with Gong Min, many people became excited immediately. The beauty of Su Li was not a secret in Yunjing City. When she taught in Affiliated School of the National Academy, some people drew her beautiful appearance in secret, because they wanted to maintain her beauty in the picture.

Finally, it failed, but the painter had some real abilities. He copied little charm in the end. When the picture was finished, all the people wanted to buy it, but it was bought by a secret man finally, and Su Li in the picture was remembered by many people.

The feast by Fourth Princess had no rules, but the seat still represented the status. Su Li was the daughter of Lord Rui, and now she was also Ling Li’s wife; of course, her seat was in the front. Gong Min had no qualification to sit here, so they separated temporarily.

When Su Li just sat down, many people wanted to accost her, but Ling Li came in time playfully, so they were stopped.

Ling Li didn’t feel shameful, but laughed, “Dear, I had a bad reputation, but avoided many troubles. Otherwise, these talents must come to disturb you.”

Ling Li said loudly. Many childes could hear it clearly. They became angry, but dared not say anything. They all looked at Su Li, and wanted to know what she would say.

Su Li smiled and nodded calmly, “You are right.”

Hearing what she said, many people were shocked. When some ladies saw this scene, the envy in their hearts vanished. They said sarcastically, “Darling, you said that Princess Li was pure, and she would definitely not yield to the Ling Family, but now, I think they are an affectionate couple.”

“It’s…”

The crowd wanted to refute it, but they said nothing. Su Li was the G.o.ddess in many talents’ hearts, but the reaction that she showed today let them down.

“Humph! All of you are superficial and know nothing about her. Princess Li disdains to make a fuss about the trifles with him. When she faces Ling Li, she is calm. Even we cannot do that like her.”

Hearing Zhao Xiyuan’s words, many people agreed immediately. The lady who had verbally abused her was trying to refute it, but suddenly someone saw that Su Li turned around and looked at Zhao Xiyuan from a distance. Although she didn’t show her emotions, all of them thought that she was grateful.

“Princess Li is looking at him. Zhao Xiyuan is right. He is definitely the first in last College of Literature!”

All the people were shocked, so the lady couldn’t say anything. She stamped her foot angrily, and looked at Su Li more disgustingly.

When people argued about Su Li, someone came to the royal seat which was on the steps.
