My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Novel - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Exposed

“What nonsense!” Xie Yiyi suddenly heard Xie Dajia’s voice transmission. “Don’t be fooled by this punk!”

Xie Yiyi jolted, before looking at Su Wen and smiling. “I’m sorry, Young Master Su. I still want to find someone I like. I can’t accept getting married so soon.”

She rejected him in the end.

Su Wen looked at her and asked with a smile, “You really don’t want to marry me?”

“I won’t marry! I’m someone who takes time to warm up to the other party. If I spend more time with you, Young Master Su, my thoughts might change.” Xie Yiyi however did not want to fall out with him. Even after rejecting him, she also left a trace of thought for Su Wen.

‘Hehe, takes time to warm up? Warm up your mother!’ Su Wen ridiculed in his heart. This term had already been used so badly by those ‘fishermen'[1] in his past life, so how could Su Wen believe it? Basically, anyone who believed in taking time to warm up during his time had long been gone.

However, Su Wen did not show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, “Alright then, let’s exchange some details about each other! May I know where you were born?”

They started chatting and Su Wen showed no intention to leave. He slowly drank his tea while conversing with Xie Yiyi.

“Miss Yiyi, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you. He’s already downstairs!”

Someone reported from outside.

Xie Yiyi looked at Su Wen and smiled. “Young Master Su, as you heard…”

It was obvious that she wanted to see the guest out.

But Su Wen tilted his head and looked at her with a smile. “Why? Is it inconvenient for me to be here?”

“This…” Xie Yiyi hesitated for a moment before instructing,” Invite the Crown Prince in. ”

She did not want to chase him away, so she let the crown prince come in and let the two parties settle things themselves. She did not believe that Su Wen would not leave after the Crown Prince entered.

Not long after, the Crown Prince’s footsteps sounded from outside. At this moment, Su Wen stood up and stretched before placing his hands on the waistband of his pants. The moment the Crown Prince entered, what greeted him was the sight of Su Wen seemingly pulling up his pants. He adjusted his pants before turning around with a smile. “Feels good!”

Xie Yiyi: “???”

Crown Prince: “???”

Su Wen’s actions made the Crown Prince uncomfortable, as well as disgust in his heart.

He looked suspiciously at Xie Yiyi and Su Wen. What happened between them?

Su Wen acted as if he had just noticed the Crown Prince. He smiled and said, “Oh, Your Highness, what took you so long? I’ve already been here for more than two hours. Aren’t you a step too late?”

Xie Yiyi hurriedly chimed in, “I had a pleasant day chatting with Young Master Su about life.”

What she meant to tell the Crown Prince was that nothing happened between her and Su Wen.

Hearing this, the Crown Prince adjusted his mood before saying with a smile, “Brother, you’ve arrived really early. I had to follow my father to handle government affairs today and thus came a little late.”

Su Wen smiled and said, “Your Highness, I won’t hide it from you. After I met Miss Yiyi yesterday, I couldn’t sleep at night. My mind was filled with images of Miss Yiyi’s beautiful figure and I was deeply infatuated with her. If I still couldn’t get what I wanted today, I would definitely be mentally crippled. However, I’m totally fine now!”

What a great way to phrase his ‘get what he wanted’. It made the crown prince’s emotions, which had just been adjusted, to skew one more.

Su Wen asked again, “Your Highness, what brings you here?”

The Crown Prince wanted to reply immediately, but hesitated.

This fellow’s mouth had already spewed out so much ‘love and adoration’. If the Crown Prince were to also mention that he liked Xie Yiyi, wouldn’t the two of them be opposing each other? Although the Crown Prince didn’t like Su Changqing and Su Wen, he didn’t want to offend them at this moment.

But at the same time, he was unwilling to give up Xie Yiyi to Su Wen.

After pondering for a moment, the crown prince said with a smile, “Isn’t Miss Yiyi known for her superb dancing skills? I would like to invite her to my residence to teach Wu Le!”

Xie Yiyi hurriedly said, “Thank you for your kindness, Crown Prince. However, Yiyi has her own rules. She won’t go to anyone’s private residences. If Your Highness doesn’t mind, you can let Wu Le come to Cloud Gazing Tower. I’ll teach her wholeheartedly!”

If she entered the Crown Prince’s residence now, she would basically not even have a status as a concubine.

“Alright, you guys can continue chatting. I’m leaving now! I’m not like the Crown Prince who can go sightseeing every day. I still have matters to attend to.” Su Wen stood up and bade farewell.

Xie Yiyi was delighted when she heard that he was leaving. She hurriedly stood up and said, “Then I won’t keep Young Master Su.”

Su Wen winked at her and gave her a knowing smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll come back tonight.”

“Uh…” Xie Yiyi didn’t know how to respond to such sudden words.

Su Wen bade farewell and left.

As he went back downstairs, the smile on Su Wen’s face disappeared. When he saw Zhao Jin, he only coldly spoke, “Let’s go to the Martial Inspectorate!”

Zhao Jin asked curiously, “What’s wrong, young master?”

“Let’s talk in the carriage!”

The two of them went out, getting on the carriage, hurrying towards the Martial Inspectorate.

Only then did Su Wen speak in a low voice, “There’s indeed something wrong with this woman!”

“Problem? What problem?” From Zhao Jin’s point of view, Su Wen had just gone to pick up girls.

“She doesn’t like me!”

“Um… young master… not all the women in the world like you.”

“I know, but if she doesn’t like me, that means she doesn’t like money, nor handsome guys.”

“And so?” Zhao Jin couldn’t understand Su Wen’s thoughts at all.

Su Wen sighed and said, “If I can’t even move her with how handsome and rich I am, then what does she want?”

A sharp glint flashed across Su Wen’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, “I’ve been thinking about it since last night. Why did the renowned Honorable Xie bring such a charming dancer with her when she was performing? It’s now obvious that her goal is to push this woman in front of everyone! But so what if she is pushed to the front? Use her to earn money? Obviously not, because Honorable Xie doesn’t lack money!”

“Xie Dajia even specially gave the princes three slots for the performance. This is equivalent to inviting all the princes to attend. For someone famous in the capital like Xie Dajia, she would never lack people to fill up the seats for her performances. Thus, especially inviting the princes is actually an important opportunity for the princes themselves to befriend the influential and powerful. As long as the prince has a little bit of ambition, even if he doesn’t like music, he will still go and watch! This pushed Miss Yiyi in front of all the princes to the greatest extent.”

“A charming and sexy woman, brought to the front of Great Zhou’s aristocrats and royal family. The results are as you saw, basically most of the people have fallen for her!”

Zhao Jin smiled and replied, “You mean most of the men!”

“That’s right. She has managed to tempt most of the men present. So what’s her motive?”

“I went today and immediately said that I wanted to marry her. I thought that with my status and background, I could already be considered one of the best options among everyone. If she only wanted to find someone rich and powerful, I would already be considered a top candidate, but she still rejected me.”

“Then, in terms of conditions, there’s only one category that can outclass me: The Royal Family!”

Zhao Jin was puzzled. “It’s not wrong for a woman to want to marry into the royal family, is it?”

Su Wen sneered. “It’s not a problem for a normal woman, but she was practically pushed out by that Honorable Xie. This means that there’s something wrong with that Honorable Xie!”

Although Su Wen did not know what was wrong with Xie Dajia, every time he heard her performance, the Sorcerer God’s Golden Gu would automatically start to activate within him. In addition to the Martial Inspectorate wanting to keep tabs on her, it showed that this person was not ordinary at all.
