Chapter 75: Interesting Youth

Soon after, Su Wen pushed open the door and entered Xie Dajia’s room.

At this moment, Honorable Xie was standing by the bed with his back to the ground, looking at the snowy scenery of the capital.

The heavy snowfall had stopped today, and there were now more people going about their lives in the streets.

“Young Master Su, why are you looking for me?” asked Honorable Xie.

Su Wen smiled. “It’s nothing much. I just want to discuss Miss Yiyi’s marriage with you!”

Honorable Xie was startled. A puzzled expression appeared on her face as she replied, “That Miss Yiyi and I only cooperated by chance. Her marriage will naturally be decided by her. What does that have to do with me?”

Su Wen smiled and randomly selected a chair in the room before seating himself.

He then replied indifferently, “A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Regarding your, Xie Dajia’s thoughts. I’m not the only one who can see through it. Let alone those princes who grew up in the Royal Court! Your methods are still a little too obvious. In the capital, there are no fools!”

“I don’t know what you mean, Young Master Su. If there’s nothing else, please leave!” Honorable Xie pretended not to know anything and wanted to chase the guest away.

Su Wen smiled and said, “Honorable Xie, don’t you want Miss Yiyi to marry the princes? I think you want to borrow the power of the royal family to achieve your goals. However, you have to think this through carefully. Marrying the prince and marrying the emperor are two different matters. To put it bluntly, whether the prince ascends to the throne or not, my father probably knows better than these princes themselves!

Furthermore, how many years do you need to wait before you obtain your repayment after marrying the prince? Instead, why not have Miss Yiyi follow me, whose father is now the prime minister of the dynasty. Comparing an uncertain future to a guaranteed present, which one would you choose?”

Honorable Xie’s face darkened as she snapped, “Young Master Su, I really don’t know what you mean. I am just an ordinary zither player. Everything else has nothing to do with me. If you want to marry Miss Yiyi, you can go find her yourself. As for what prince or prime minister, I don’t even understand. Young Master Su, please leave!”

Su Wen said angrily, “Why are you so stubborn? What’s wrong? Did you grow up eating spirit artifacts? Why are your teeth so sharp!”

It was no wonder that he was a little angry. In reality, he was already prepared to be rejected. However, the other party’s act of feigning ignorance really grated on his nerves.

“Someone send the guest out!”

Xie Dajia wanted nothing more than to slap Su Wen to death on the spot. No one had ever spoken to her like that before.

But she knew that she could not do anything to Su Wen now!

The moment the maidservant opened the door, Xie Dajia sputtered in a heavy tone. “Young Master Su, please. Don’t disturb an old lady like me!”

Su Wen stood up wordlessly and left.

After ensuring that Su Wen had indeed left, Xie Dajia’s face darkened.

Her plan had been seen through? No way. Even if Su Wen saw through it, he could only see through her plan to marry Yiyi into the royal family. Her true hidden card was the Mental Demon Charming Body. As long as these princes were truly attracted to Yiyi, they could take advantage of this secret technique to gain control over the Prince and by extension the Royal family in the future!

There definitely would not be any problems! Especially now that the Crown Prince was even taking the initiative to approach!

Naturally, the Crown Prince was also Xie Dajia’s number one target!

After leaving Xie Dajia’s room, Su Wen adjusted his mood before going downstairs. Zhao Jin was already waiting there.

“Let’s go, accompany this Young Master to eat some noodles. The owner has probably set up her stall today.” Su Wen smiled.

Zhao Jin whispered, “You’re not seeing Miss Yiyi any more?”

“What’s there to see? She doesn’t want to talk about relationships with me, and she doesn’t appreciate what my father’s position can bring her. I think it’s better for me to eat my noodles and be happy.”

Zhao Jin asked curiously, “Then isn’t she looking down on you, Young Master?”

Su Wen flew into a rage. “Bullsh*t! If I was a descendant of the royal family, she would definitely marry me! So in the end, this matter is still my father’s fault. He dragged me down, but I’ll be magnanimous and forgive him!”

Zhao Jin didn’t bother to debate any further and quickly went out to drive the carriage over.

The two of them went to the fried vermicelli stall. As expected, the boss had set up her store today.

“Good day, Sirs. The same two bowls of minced meat vermicelli?”

Su Wen and Zhao Jin were already considered regulars by now.

“That’s right! Add another three copper coins worth of minced meat for both bowls.” Su Wen laughed and replied.

“Alright, please wait a moment!”

In the meantime, Su Wen and Zhao Jin once again began to study the theory of ‘Roundness and Fullness’ of the lady boss’.

As they were busy in their research, Su Wen caught sight of a young man.

In the cold wind, everyone wore thick clothes, but this youth only wore a thin outer garment. He was clad in straw sandals, and his ankles were exposed. At his waist was a sword!

Although Su Wen called it a sword, strictly speaking, it did not fit in the description of what a sword should look like.

Because this resembled more like just a piece of metal.

The hilt was wrapped in rags, and there was not even a sheath.

Exhibit A: Penniless Swordsman

The youth walked up to the fried vermicelli stall before asking, “How much for a bowl?”

“Four copper coins!”

“I only have two coins, can I get half a serving?” Unlike Su Wen and Zhao Jin, who were studying the roundness and fullness of the lady boss when they were eating, this person’s attention was fully focused on the ’roundness and fullness’ inside the wok. Even when he spoke, his eyes were always fixed on the wok.

The beautiful boss smiled and said, “Then let me treat you to a bowl!”

Seeing that they were all poor people, and that this person could not even afford to wear clothes, the beautiful boss only felt pity for him.

The youth shook his head and said, “If you don’t sell it, I’ll leave.”

“I’ll sell! Please wait over there.”

The young man sat down and stared blankly at the table, waiting quietly.

Very quickly, the vermicelli arrived.

Su Wen noticed that although the young man only had half a bowl, the beautiful boss had given him a lot more ingredients than usual. The amount added up to even more than a normal serving.

The young man didn’t seem to notice it and started eating heartily.

Compared to Su Wen and Zhao Jin’s slow chewing, the young man looked as if he had not eaten for three days.

Soon, the young man finished eating and left.

His body now looked more stable as he trudged in the cold weather.

However, Su Wen noticed that the broken sword hanging on the youth’s waist was left on the table.

Obviously, he could tell that the beautiful boss had given him a lot more ingredients. The sword was his last material object and also his most valuable possession, even though it was just a piece of scrap metal to ordinary people.

When the beautiful boss went to clear the table, she also noticed the sword. She shook her head helplessly but didn’t say anything, merely storing away the sword.

“Interesting person.” Su Wen smiled and said, “Let’s catch up with him.”

Zhao Jin warned in a low voice, “This person is very dangerous.”

Su Wen turned to look at him and asked, “You can’t win against him?”

Zhao Jin said, “We haven’t fought before, so it’s hard to say!”

“But he doesn’t have a weapon right now!”

“We still have to be careful. What if he has hidden weapons in his clothes?”

Su Wen rolled his eyes, “His clothes are so thin. Do you think he can keep any hidden weapons? Furthermore, he is already so poor, how could he have hidden weapons?”

Zhao Jin said seriously, “It’s always better to be careful.”

Su Wen couldn’t be bothered with him and stood up with a smile. “Boss, can you sell me that sword?”

The beautiful boss shook her head in response, “That sword was left behind by that customer just now. He might come back at any time, so I have to return it to him.”

Su Wen smiled. “I’ll chase after him and return it to him.”

Although the beautiful boss was a little afraid of Su Wen, she still shook her head in the end.

“Then can I at least take a look?” Su Wen smiled.

Finally, the beautiful boss hesitated for a moment before taking out the sword and handing it to Su Wen.

Su Wen picked up his sword and sized it up. Suddenly, he turned around and ran, leaping straight up to the carriage before shouting, “Zhao Jin, hurry up and run!”

“Alright! Giddy up!”

Zhao Jin waved his whip, and the carriage sped away.

The beautiful boss was left behind with a dumbfounded expression, at a total loss.
