Shengjing Noble

Chapter 108 Exchange of Interests

"What should we do then, Your Majesty? Are you going to just give up like this?"

Fu Mingchuan raised his head again and looked ahead along the path, a light flashing in his eyes.

"We can only place our hopes on Su Lanxin."

"Didn't she just say that her medical skills were not very good?"

"But at least she knows my illness. Judging from her expression, she should have diagnosed the poison in my body, but she just can't say it out loud."

"Even if she can diagnose it, what's the use? She's not Dr. Xue."

"But she is Xue Qi's apprentice, and the only one! In other words, if she wants, she can learn from Xue Qi how to treat this king."

Wentian suddenly understood: "I see! This is indeed a good idea! Then let's go and ask Miss Su for help. She looks kind and should be able to help..."

"No, although she is not a vicious person, she is definitely not stupid. She is afraid of being implicated and dares not even tell the king the true condition. How could she take the risk for the king?"

"She owes you a favor. I saved her twice!" Wentian had a righteous expression.

Fu Mingchuan smiled helplessly: "Have you forgotten that she knows Kung Fu?"

"Ah this..."

"Both times, she was able to get out of danger on her own, whether we helped or not."

"Then why did you let your subordinates take action?"

"To get closer to her." Fu Mingchuan gathered his fox fur coat, and the disappointment in his eyes was replaced by a cold chill.

"near?"

"She is very smart and as thoughtful as those scheming women in the palace."

"My Lord, don't you hate people like this the most? Why do you still want to get close to her?"

"She is different from those women..."

At this point, Fu Mingchuan smiled unconsciously, and the cold light in his eyes softened a lot.

"There was a frank calculation in her eyes."

"Ah?" Wentian scratched his head, puzzled, "Frank...scheming...isn't this a contradiction?"

"Yes, it's very contradictory, but it's novel. She knew my identity, and she also knew that I needed help from Divine Doctor Xue, but she didn't try to curry favor with him because she was his apprentice. Instead, she chose to respect him and was just the right amount of... flattering to me."

At this point, his smile deepened.

"She probably thinks that getting to know me will be useful someday, and she doesn't want to get close to me as a man or a woman, so she keeps a distance from me. In this way, I feel quite comfortable with her."

This was the first time that a woman approached him in an open manner, with no admiration, no pity, and no flattery in her eyes.

Wentian scratched his head, looking depressed.

"Master, what are you talking about... I don't understand..."

"If you don't understand, don't ask. Let's go."

"Just leave like that?"

"if not?"

"How about I go and ask Miss Su for help?"

"It's useless. She won't help. But we can wait. Maybe... we can create an opportunity."

"What do you mean?"

"Her mother is a businesswoman, and she is shrewd in her bones. I'm sure she won't help me without an exchange of interests. Then let's wait for an opportunity. One day she will ask me for something."

"That's it..."

Wentian followed behind, still not quite understanding.

……

Medical residence.

As soon as Su Lanyin entered the room, she saw Lu Yichen was there too, so she immediately squeezed out two tears and rushed over.

"uncle!"

"Yinyin? Why did you come here by yourself so late?"

Lu Yichen glanced behind her and saw that there was no one there. Worry was evident in his eyes. He gently patted her back with his hand, full of heartache.

"Uncle, my father kicked me out of the house. He also beat up my third brother. When my mother went to question him, he pushed her to the ground and even forced her to jump into the lake to commit suicide..."

As soon as Su Lanyin said this, Lu Yichen immediately pinched her arm nervously: "What did you say? Wanjun jumped into the lake?"

"Don't worry, mother was rescued in time and is fine. But my father went too far. You have to stand up for mother! Wuwuwu..."

She lay in his arms and cried bitterly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Lu Yichen's eyes were burning with anger. He pushed Su Lanyin away, picked up the stick beside him and rushed out the door, shouting, "How dare you bully my sister? Do you think there is no one in my Lu family? I'm going to kill him today..."

"Uncle, it's too late. There won't be any people on the street at this time!" Su Lanyin hurried forward to stop him.

"What do you mean? What does it have to do with me if there's anyone on the street? Don't worry, your uncle will definitely seek justice for you!"

"No, uncle. If there's no one on the street, there won't be an audience. Even if you go over and make a scene, you can just have a quarrel behind closed doors at the Su family's house. What else can you do? Can you really kill Su Yongcheng?"

"I'm going to kill him!" Lu Yichen's eyes turned red with anxiety and he was extremely excited.

"If you kill him, you will have to pay with your life. Does your uncle want to sacrifice himself for such a scum?"

"What should I do? How can I watch you guys being wronged?"

"Let's go when the streets are crowded."

"What do you mean? Why do we have to wait for many people?"

"Of course, let everyone see it! Uncle, don't get dizzy on impulse. Even if you go to the Su family and scold Su Yongcheng a few times, or even punch him a few times, it won't have any effect on him."

"so what should I do now?"

"He has always valued reputation the most. In this case, how about we make him famous in Shengjing?"

Lu Yichen calmed down immediately, grabbed Su Lanyin's arm and asked excitedly: "Do you have an idea?"

"Well! Uncle, listen to me..."

She stood on tiptoe and whispered something in his ear, which made Lu Yichen's eyes light up.

"Yinyin, you are worthy of being a child of my Lu family. You are as smart as your uncle!"

"Uncle, are you praising me or yourself?" Su Lanyin asked with narrowed eyes.

"All praised!"

"Then let's go get ready?"

"it is good!"

……

Three days later.

The news that Su Lanyin was kicked out of the Su family spread almost everywhere in the streets and alleys, and even officials reported the matter to the court in the morning.

After all, kicking one's own daughter out of the house for an outsider is too shocking, and anyone who hears it would find it puzzling.

The emperor was furious about this matter. After all, he had a very good impression of Su Lanyin and had always been thinking about this little girl who sacrificed everything for her family.

I originally wanted to send someone to bring her into the palace, but when I heard that she was living in Doctor Xue's house to learn medicine, I felt relieved.

But he did not forget Su Yongcheng, and scolded him in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.

Ever since he was criticized by the emperor, his former close colleagues have been avoiding him for fear of being implicated.

Su Yongcheng hated Su Lanyin even more and thought she was a jinx!

As soon as he got home, he kicked over the chair in the study and his face turned blue with anger.

Liu Ruyan came forward with a cup of tea and pretended to comfort him, but in fact she wanted to add fuel to the fire.

"Master, please don't be angry. Anger hurts your liver. Don't let it hurt your body anymore."
