Chapter 63: Forcing one’s way, asking the emperor to be the witness (Part 1)
“My brother is just waiting for Zhen Guogong to say those words. Our Mingyue Mountain Villa just started in Haoyue Country, we can’t afford to be enemies with Zhen Guogong and the royal families. But of course, if they bully us, it’s another matter.”
Su Xin said what’s on his brother’s head. In fact, the three of them always thought the same thing. Their mother said it was called telepathy.
Mu Yunxuan looked at Su Li’s little figure with a distressed look in the face. It was really difficult for him. At such a young age, he needs to consider things one by one.
“Look, even Zhen Guogong is pleading mercy.”
“Right! People always need to ask mercy to this old man, but now it’s his turn. And it’s to a 5-year-old kid. It seems the sun came out to the west this time.”
“Yeah right! At least they learn that anyone who lives in this world can fall. That Ji Hong has always been an arrogant child. This defeat will teach him that there will always be someone in this world that is more powerful than him.”
“Hmph! That Zhen Guogong has always contemptuous to others. I’m sure he felt like dying for asking mercy to a 5-year-old kid.”
The crowd began discussing things. Zheng Guogong’s people were both shocked and angry. Even the empress couldn’t sit still.
Su Zimo secretly smiled. Those t sentences made her heart trembled. Indeed, he was her son she carefully carved. She passed to him the so-called be smooth and slick in establishing a social relationship. Sometimes people need to take a step back to broaden their world. In this case, not only Zhen Guogong will owe him a favor, but he also paved a new path to back out in this predicament.
“Since Zhen Guogong openly speaks out his mind, I will not take Ji Hong’s life. But Zheng Guogong should ask the emperor to be the witness and write an agreement as a piece of evidence, stating that if Mingyue Mountain Villa needs help, Zhen Guogong will not hesitate to assist us. Our Mingyue Mountain Villa has nothing but small fry businesses, we can’t guarantee that we will not need help.” Su Li said, but his calculation was very obvious. With the emperor as the witness, Zhen Guogong couldn’t just pour dirty water on their heads in the future. And not only that, but he also needs to help them as a sign of owning a favor.
When Zhen Guogong heard of it, he almost sat down on the ground. He doesn’t know what to do. Let the emperor testify? Isn’t that equivalent to slapping the emperor’s face? He was the emperor’s father-in-law! Su Li’s calculation had gone too far. He didn’t expect that this stinky boy will be so difficult to fool. Even at such a young age, his understanding of this world was deep. He ate their family step by step. If he let the emperor testify, this matter will definitely spread out, but this time, does he have other choices?
Ji Yaotian turned and walked to the front of the Emperor. Seeing the Emperor with an ugly facial expression, he hardens his scalp and said: “Your majesty, Young Master Su is willing to spare Ji Hong’s life, but asking the emperor to be the witness. Please save Ji Hong’s life.”
“Imperial Father, how can we accept such an arrangement? Zhen Guogong is not only a country magistrate but also the country’s governor, how can he obey a small merchant’s request?”
Jun Lintian stood up and opposed it. If Zhen Guogong and Mingyue Mountain had a connection, it will be equivalent to having one more enemy. He hasn’t forgotten what that woman said. She said she will take revenge for Su Zimo.
When Su Qi heard those words, his eyes squinted, but his lips curved with a sly smile. Does this bastard prince think he is holding a gourd and just can pour dirty water on their heads? Seeing he can’t wait to die, then he will gladly fulfill it.
“Third Prince, you’re saying that our Mingyue Mountain Villa is nothing but a small merchant, so Zhen Guogong shouldn’t listen to our request? If the Third Prince has no problem with his ears, you must have heard that my brother said he is willing to spare Young Master Ji’s life but the emperor must serve as a witness. I don’t know what the Third Prince is so nervous about?”
Su Qi’s tone was not warm and almost killed Jun Lintian’s domineering momentum. Jun Lintian angrily looked at Su Qi, he dared to say that he has a problem with his ears?
Is he going to be planted twice by these two brothers?
“Does this prince need to be nervous? It doesn’t matter to me.”
“Is that so? Then, does the Third Prince mean to say that since they signed life and death agreement, my brother killing Young Master Ji is just fine, right?”
Hmph! What a small fry, I, Su Qi will let you ride a big horse today and put you in a dilemma. Let’s see if you dare offend both Zhen Guogong and Mingyue Mountain Villa!
“No, no, Second Young Master Su, he doesn’t! Third Prince, please don’t interfere in this matter.”
Ji Yaotian was so anxious that he almost faint. Why the Third Prince adding up himself in this chaos!
“Zhen Guogong, you...”
Jun Lintian’s face was filled with embarrassment, he was doing this for the sake of the imperial family’s face: “Imperial Father, but this is detrimental for the royal family’s face, please father think twice.”
The emperor wrinkled his eyebrows and fell into deep thoughts, but Su Qi opened his mouth again: “The Third Prince’s words are too heavy, this matter is something a person should be proud of and honored with, but the Third Prince make it sound so harsh.”
