Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

Su Yuan, being a martial artist, couldn't fail to detect the presence within the carriage. Moreover, Su Xue and the coachman's reactions had already given everything away.

Gu Jiao pulled back the curtain and walked out openly.

When Su Yuan saw that it was a young man in a blue robe, his eyes instantly turned cold. He wasn’t one to judge people by their appearances, but the defiance in the young man's eyes made him frown slightly.

"Who are you?" Su Yuan asked coldly.

"Xiao Liulang." Gu Jiao replied calmly.

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes, "You are Xiao Liulang?"

Su Xue quickly explained, "Yes, Father! He's the Xiao Liulang I told you about. He saved me from being trampled by a horse! Father, you weren't there at the time and don't know how dangerous it was! Even fourth brother couldn't save me! If it weren't for him… this daughter would have..."

Before she could finish, Su Yuan shot her a cold glare, and Su Xue immediately fell silent.

It was improper for a man and a woman to be alone together; Su Yuan was really angry.

However, no matter how unrefined Su Xue's behavior was, she had to be taken home and properly reprimanded behind closed doors. Su Yuan wouldn't embarra.s.s her in public.

But Su Yuan didn't need to hide his arrogance towards someone from a lower state, "You are Qingchen's cla.s.smate, right? Qingchen must have invited you to visit our estate. Unfortunately, Qingchen is not home today, so you made the trip for nothing."

In his words, he completely ignored Gu Jiao's life-saving act for Su Xue and only acknowledged Gu Jiao as Mu Qingchen's cla.s.smate.

He even redefined Gu Jiao and Su Xue's carriage ride together as merely a trip to find Mu Qingchen.

After speaking, he looked at Su Xue standing next to Gu Jiao and sternly said, "Aren't you coming over here?"

Su Xue bit her lip and reluctantly got off the carriage, looking back repeatedly as she walked towards her father's carriage.

A servant set up the wooden steps for Su Xue.

Su Xue climbed the steps.

"Get inside." Su Yuan ordered.

Su Xue entered the carriage with a sense of grievance.

Su Yuan continued to look at Gu Jiao and said, "Qingchen is not at home. I apologize to Young Master Xiao for making this trip for nothing. Ah Fu, escort Young Master Xiao back to the academy. When Qingchen returns, I will have him invite Young Master Xiao to our home for a visit."

.

Su Xue's expression changed, "Father!"

Su Yuan, with an air of authority, said, "Ah Fu."

"Yes!" Ah Fu did not dare to disobey Su Yuan's orders and turned the carriage around, heading towards the southern gate of the inner city.

Watching the carriage gradually move away, Su Xue stomped her feet in frustration, "Father! Why did you do that just now!"

Su Yuan sharply let down the curtain and sat across from Su Xue, "I should be asking you why you did that! As the daughter of our family, you rode in the same carriage with a man from a lower country. What if someone saw you? Do you not care about your reputation?"

Su Xue snorted, "Except for you, Father, there’s no chance of that happening!"

The powerful people in Shengdu wouldn't bother to stop her carriage, and those less powerful wouldn't dare. How could anyone possibly discover it?

Su Yuan sternly said, "Stop making excuses! Also, don't keep mentioning that life-saving favor. He didn't save you; he was just taming a horse. Are you not ashamed to be a.s.sociated with someone from a lower country?"

Originally, Su Yuan didn’t even want to acknowledge that young man's friends.h.i.+p with Mu Qingchen. But to justify the shared carriage ride, he had to claim that his daughter brought him to the inner city because of Mu Qingchen's invitation.

Su Xue argued, "But he did save me! Father, are you denying it because you think my life isn’t worth anything?"

Su Yuan seriously replied, "I'm worried he might latch onto the Su Family! If he uses that life-saving favor to entangle himself with our family, do you still expect to get married in the future?"

Su Xue stubbornly said, "I never wanted to marry anyway!"

Su Yuan's face darkened, "I am aware that he saved you, and I will have someone prepare a thank-you gift to be sent to the academy later. Receiving a reward from the Su Family should be enough for him! Don't make this mistake again! He doesn't have an inner city tally. If you bring him into the city without authorization and the authorities find out, the consequences will be dire!"

Su Xue, feeling wronged, said, "But isn't the yamen run by our family?"

"You!" Su Yuan was infuriated. What did she mean by saying the yamen was run by their Su Family? Did this girl not fear the consequences?

Su Xue exclaimed angrily, "Grandfather is the magistrate of the Jingzhao Office! Checking tallies is the duty of the Jingzhao Office. Who in the Jingzhao Office would dare to check me? Are they tired of living?"

This... was indeed a fact.

But she couldn’t just say that!

If the Emperor heard of this, wouldn’t the Su Family follow in the footsteps of the Xuanyuan Family?!

Su Yuan gritted his teeth, "How dare you say such things!"

"I'm only telling you, Father! I'm not blindly saying it outside!" Who didn’t have some awareness?

Su Yuan was choked by her words, almost speechless. After a while, he remembered the main issue, "Why did you bring him to the inner city?"

Su Xue wasn't really stupid. She naturally wouldn't reveal Xiao Liulang's grudge against others. She said, "He's never been to the inner city, so I brought him for a tour. Who knew we'd run into you?"

"Humph!" Su Xue harrumphed. In order to avoid revealing anything, she quickly s.h.i.+fted the focus of the topic, turning her back, "Father is unreasonable! I don't want to talk to you anymore! I'm going back to tell Grandfather that Father is bullying my and fourth brother's friend!"

Su Yuan coldly replied, "What do you mean your and your fourth brother's friend? Is he worthy? Su Xue, remember this, you are the daughter of the Su Family, you cannot lower your status for a person from a lower country."

Su Xue was so frustrated that she started crying.

Seeing his daughter cry, Su Yuan frowned and sighed helplessly, "Alright, let's stop talking about it. Wipe your tears. Father will take you somewhere."

"I don't want to go!" Su Xue refused without hesitation.

Su Yuan said, "You don't even know where it is, and you already refuse to go?"

Su Xue, choking on her tears, said, "I'm angry... I don't want to go anywhere!"

Su Yuan then said, "It's Old Master Meng's chess club."

Su Xue's crying stopped abruptly.

Knowing she was interested, Su Yuan continued, "Yesterday, Old Master Meng encountered a group of bandits in the outer city. His whereabouts are currently unknown. His coachman reported the incident, but unfortunately, the authorities only caught the bandits who were unconscious and didn't find Old Master Meng. Some speculate that Old Master Meng might have met with an unfortunate fate."

Su Xue asked, "So... we’re going to offer incense for him?"

Su Yuan: "..."

Su Yuan said, "We are going to see Old Master Meng's chief disciple. This disciple has inherited Old Master Meng's true teachings and his skill in chess surpa.s.ses everyone else's. Usually, we wouldn't be able to meet him, but now that Old Master Meng is in trouble, a.s.sisting the chess club is a good opportunity to win his favor. Behave well later, try to impress him, and persuade him to accept you and your sister as his disciples. Your sister has already gone there; I'm not worried about her, I'm only worried about you."

Out of the whole family, Su Xue was the most worrisome.

……

Meanwhile, Ah Fu slowly drove the carriage towards the city gate.

He wasn't worried that the guards at the city gate would stop the carriage to check for inner city tallies. After all, this was the Su Family's carriage. Even if they checked, they would hand it over to the Jingzhao Office, and the Su Family patriarch would soon have them released.

He just felt a bit sorry for the person in the carriage.

Today's incident was quite embarra.s.sing.

He sincerely said, "Sigh, Young Master Xiao, don't take it to heart. The master may be harsh with words, but he won't treat you poorly. When you return to the academy, you might receive a thank-you gift from our master. But let me advise you, Young Master Xiao, the Su Family's young lady is not someone you can a.s.sociate with. It's better to give up that idea early. If you understand, the Su Family can protect you. What do you think?"

Young Master Xiao didn't respond.

The coachman continued, "Young Master Xiao, don't you think I'm right?"

"Young Master Xiao."

"Young Master Xiao?"

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the s.h.i.+ family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hards.h.i.+p and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When s.h.i.+ Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the s.h.i.+ family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like s.h.i.+ Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

s.h.i.+ Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
