Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 388
Chapter 388 Deliberate Humiliation
“You are” Su Wanwan asked hesitantly.
Looking into that person’s eyes, Su Wanwan finally thought of someone-Su Xiaoyan!
He remembered that he had been kicked out of the Su Clan for more than a year. When the Su Clan had sunk him to the bottom of the water, not a single one of them had extended a helping hand! The smile on Su Wanwan’s face was stiff as she said, “Are you Su Jinqiang?”
“Yes! Sister finally remembered me?” Su Jinqiang asked happily.
“Yes.” Su Wanwan nodded coldly. She took out two taels of silver and placed it in Su Jinqiang’s hand. She said, “Take it. It’s fate if you encounter it. However, this is my last assistance to you. I have no other feelings for you!”
“Sister! How can you be so heartless!” Su Jinqiang cried out and cried, “Little sister, I really did let you down back then. Now that I’ve come to admit my mistake, can you let me live with you? I miss you so much! My younger brother also misses you! My younger brother is still sick, he …”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Su Wanwan’s tone was still cold. “Su Jinqiang, let me tell you, we didn’t have any feelings for each other since long ago when you didn’t help me in the Chen River. Besides, you and I are not related by blood, so don’t tell lies here with a shameless face.”
As she said that, Su Wanwan threw out another five taels of silver and said, “This five taels of silver is for Su Jin Chaoming. Take it and buy medicine for him.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wanwan glanced at the servant at the door. The servant immediately separated Su Jinqiang from Su Wanwan in the middle.
Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng stepped into the Third Prince’s mansion, but Su Jinqiang could not catch up to them. They could only take the silver and leave. As they left, they shattered their minds and said, “What’s the use of these seven silver taels? Hmph! Ungrateful things!”
Su Jinqiang seemed to have forgotten that everything in the Su Clan was given to him by Su Wanwan. The house was built by her with money, and she was also thinking of selling the wooden ears for money. The Su Clan had eaten her and even regarded her as evil with hers. It was truly too shameless!
However, Su Jinqiang did not realize this at all. His heart was filled with hatred. His eyes lit up and he suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly ran to an adult’s mansion.
The next morning, Qi Chengfeng went up. Su Wanwan sat idle in the mansion. Zhao Ziyan and Madam Zhao were in the room doing red. The three of them would occasionally come up and say a few words.
Suddenly, a maidservant walked over and said, “Third Princess, Old Master Liu, a merit examiner from the Ministry of Officials, wants to see you.”
“Who is Officer Liu looking for? The Third Prince? He went to court. Tell him to come again next time.” Su Wanwan said.
The maidservant said, “Fei Ye, Old Master Liu said … the person you want to see is you.”
“What? What can I talk to him about?” Su Wanwan frowned slightly.
“He said it was because of our mansion” Before the maidservant could finish her words, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, “The imperial edict has arrived!”
A father-in-law walked over with a twist of his waist. Seeing Su Wanwan like this, he said, “Third Princess, why don’t you kneel down?”
Su Wanwan kowtowed to the melon seeds as if she hadn’t heard of it. Her father-in-law’s face darkened. Thinking about Su Wanwan’s rumors, she had no choice but to put aside her thoughts of making things difficult for Su Wanwan and declare an imperial edict to the side.
According to the imperial edict, because Su Wanwan and the Third Prince used their relationship to disrupt the order of the Imperial Examination, the Third Prince was punished with a one-year salary as a warning.
Hearing this, Su Wanwan was dumbfounded.
Who among them could take the Imperial Examination?
Thinking about it, Su Wanwan suddenly remembered the person who stopped her yesterday and immediately said, “Go invite Master Liu in.”
The moment Master Liu came in, he wiped the sweat off his head and talked to Su Wanwan. Only then did Su Wanwan know that she had guessed correctly.
So it was yesterday when Su Jinqiang returned, he made a fuss over the Ministry of Officials, saying that he was the Third Prince’s brother, and he even insisted that they take out his papers and let him become a libretto.
This matter was caught by Qi Delong and he immediately punished Qi Chengfeng.
Moreover, today, Qi Delong changed the name of the Third Prince of Qi Chengfeng to Prince Lian, yet he deliberately humiliated him after deducting his salary for a year.
“He said that day that he discovered my weakness. So it was him … Su Jinqiang!” Su Wanwan sneered. Suddenly, she remembered the reason why Master Liu had come and said, “Master Liu, what do you want to do?”
Old Master Liu smiled and said, “The little one originally wanted to come over to inform the princess first, but who would have thought that … he had just heard the imperial edict, and only then did he know that he was late.”
Thinking that Master Liu wanted to stand on Qi Chengfeng’s team, Su Wanwan nodded and said, “You should go back first. It’s fine if you don’t do anything.”
“Yes.” Master Liu went back.
Su Wanwan sat and waited for Qi Chengfeng to return. The two of them held hands and went to the Five Flavor Restaurant for dinner. When they were about to return to the mansion, they suddenly saw a woman blocking Su Wanwan’s way. She cried and pretended, “Miss! Our troupe is about to collapse! No one has gone to the theatre for several days, I beg you to go and see it! Today, you can just watch the show with a penny!”
She had not been recognized in the capital? Su Wanwan did not believe it! Seeing the crying intent in this woman’s eyes, she felt that this woman was deliberately blocking her way!
Su Wanwan looked at Qi Chengfeng and said, “Husband, I want to go to the theater.”
“I’ll get a troupe to come back. You can listen to whatever you want, and watch whatever you want. How about it?” Qi Chengfeng’s eyes were filled with doting.
“Young Master, our troupe is nearby! It’s very close!” The woman said anxiously, as if she didn’t really want the two of them to leave.
This made Su Wanwan even more suspicious. When normal people heard Qi Chengfeng say that he wanted to hire a troupe, they would definitely want to recommend their troupe over. But she didn’t recommend it, so she insisted on letting them go to their troupe that only needed a coin to watch a show. Isn’t that crazy?
From the looks of it, it was more like it was done on purpose!
Su Wanwan lowered her eyes and smiled. “No, I just want to go to the theater.”
She wanted to see what kind of “good show” their troupe had prepared!
“Alright, since you want to go, then let’s go.” Qi Chengfeng held Su Wanwan’s hand and the woman tactfully led the way.
The two of them walked to a large inn and found that it was already packed. However, when they arrived, someone specially made room for them.
Su Wanwan sat down and found that they were sitting in a good place with a good angle of view. Naturally, it was also a place that others could easily discover.
The two of them sat down and recognized their identities. Quite a few people said, “Look! Third Prince … no, it’s Prince Lian and Princess Wang. They actually came!”
After saying this, everyone started discussing about what had happened in the Imperial Court today. It was unknown who had purposely released some biased information. Now, everyone’s words were somewhat unpleasant to hear.
Only then did Su Wanwan understand why Qi Delong had sealed Qi Chengfeng’s “King Concealment”. Didn’t she just ask him to restrain himself a little?
Su Wanwan remained silent. Silk music suddenly sounded. Everyone fell silent. A woman and a few men appeared on the stage. The scene was like a family. A man on the stage suddenly shot a glance at Su Wanwan. His eyes were filled with the pleasure of revenge!
As things progressed, Su Wanwan’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
