Yu w.a.n.g did not return to Hongmei Courtyard after levelling up. He headed straight to the Palace and attended the morning court after a simple breakfast at the Zhending Courtyard. He did not know how to deal with his wife after knowing the uniqueness of his wife"s body. Yu Fengyao was afraid to share his findings with his wife and worried Su Qingyi.After the morning court, Yu w.a.n.g moved to intercept Minister Su Yanjiu on his way home. Riding his warhorse, Yu w.a.n.g waited for the horse-drawn carriage used by Minister Su to be stopped by one of his bodyguards.
"Master, someone is stopping our carriage." exclaimed the coachman controlling the horse-drawn carriage to Su Yanjiu who was sitting casually inside.
"Who stopped our horse-drawn carriage?" Minister Su asked calmly. This old man has been in politics for a long time so his mentality is strong enough.
"This servant sees Yu w.a.n.g"s entourage ahead."
Hearing Yu w.a.n.g entourage stands in front, not far from them, this old man knew that the one who wanted to stopped the carriage was Yu w.a.n.g.
"Follow that person."
The carriage driver follows Minister Su"s order to follow the person who stopped their horse-drawn carriage to the place where Yu w.a.n.g"s entourage was waiting for them.
Feeling the horse-drawn carriage stop, Su Yanjiu opened the curtain cloth of the horse-drawn carriage and climbed down from there using a wooden ladder mounted by the horse carriage driver.
"Yu w.a.n.g-"
Minister Su greets Yu w.a.n.g politely, who was coldly responded by the young prince.
"This Prince stops Minister Su"s carriage because this Prince has a little something that needs Minister Su to listens for a moment."
"Yu w.a.n.g is too polite, Yu w.a.n.g can ask for anything from this old Minister."
The politeness contained in Minister Su"s words made Yu w.a.n.g feel better towards this old man. Minister Su is famous for being an old-fashioned and "clean" official. Unfortunately, he is not a good grandfather for his wife.
"Does Minister Su know about the attack on my wife?"
"Su Qingyi was attacked?!"
Su Yanjiu was surprised to hear his granddaughter being attacked. Although Su Yanjiu was never close to his granddaughter, this old man did not want Su Qingyi to experience an attack. Seeing the shock on Minister Su"s face made Yu w.a.n.g look suspicious. Su Yanjiu realized his negligence in regulating his emotions and returned to be a flat face.
"Looks like Minister Su isn"t as cold as this prince thinks to this prince"s wife."
"This minister doesn"t understand what the prince means."
Minister Su did not want to admit that he cared a little about his granddaughter. Life in the Su family made this old man wary of changing his emotions easily.
"It doesn"t matter if the Minister doesn"t want to admit it. This prince doesn"t care."
Minister Su only silently responded to Yu w.a.n.g"s words.
"This Prince only wants to let you know that this Prince will visit the Su family"s residence to make some calculation."
"Making calculations with the Su family? Why?" Su Yanjiu looked confused by Yu w.a.n.g"s heads up. Thinking for a while, the clever Minister suspected something.
"The attack on Yu w.a.n.gfei was carried out by the Su family"s people?!"
"Hmph! Minister Su turned out to be smart enough to realize it quickly."
Hearing Yu w.a.n.g"s indirect justification for his guess made this old man look grim. He did not expect his granddaughter to be attacked by his own family. He thought after his granddaughter became the legal wife of Yu w.a.n.g, the fools would become smarter and not bother Su Qingyi anymore.
"If Yu w.a.n.g wants to come to do that, this Minister will wait for the arrival of Yu w.a.n.g at the Su family"s residence."
Minister Su"s words made Yu w.a.n.g feel compelled to change his a.s.sessment of this old man. Maybe Su Yanjiu wasn"t as insignificant as he thought towards Su Qingyi.
"Good, Minister Su can warn the head of the Su family and told him that this prince wanted to stop by the Su family"s residence.."
"Alright."
Yu w.a.n.g let Minister Su to leave. Looking at Minister Su"s departure, Yu w.a.n.g went to see his friends so he can receive further information about the person responsible for his wife"s attack and also about his wife"s inheritance stores that were taken over by the Su family. His wife suffered an attack for trying to take over the shops. Yu w.a.n.g did not want Su Qingyi to experience another attack because of those shops, so he decided to intervene to help his wife claim everything back.
Su Yanjiu arrived at the Su family residence with a grim face. Descending from the horse-drawn carriage, he walked to the patriarch courtyard located in the middle of the Su family"s residence which covered a large area after standing for hundreds of years. Walking quickly, this old man clenched his teeth trying to hold back the turbulent anger in his body which is now 60 years old. He must not show his emotions clearly in this family especially in front of the current head of the Su family; Su Lingdao even though he is his older brother. His relationship with the head of the Su family was not good because his brother always felt jealous of him only because Su Yanjiu had more intelligence than Su Lingdao and can become a minister. His brother is a cunning man and likes to use cruel plans just to hurt him.
"Patriarch-"
Su Yanjiu went straight into the study room of the white-bearded old man who was taking care of the doc.u.ments together with his a.s.sistant. Seeing Su Yanjiu"s arrival without knocking on the door first made Su"s patriarch look upset.
"Couldn"t you knock on the door first, Su Yanjiu? Or because now you are Minister Su who is quite favoured by the Emperor, you can do things like that?"
Realizing his negligence by acting like that, Su Yanjiu tried to divert the attention of his petty-minded brother.
"Forgive my impoliteness. I just want to inform you of Yu w.a.n.g"s planned arrival as soon as possible."
Patriarch Su gasped to hear that Yu w.a.n.g wanted to come to the Su family"s residence from the mouth of his younger brother, whom he always considered a thorn in the flesh for a long time.
"When will Yu w.a.n.g come?"
"Don"t know, Yu w.a.n.g just said he would come today and wants this one to inform Patriarch Su."
