Chapter 727: 083 White Lotus Embarrassment_4

Cheng Yuexiu’s eyes swiveled before she lifted her gaze to Su Qiuyu and, very perceptively, chose not to speak.

Su Qiuyu was deeply hurt, her fists clenched within her wide sleeves. Her already fair cheeks turned even paler, and her body swayed as if about to fall, the very image of a delicate and weak white lotus.

In the front hall, Xia Zheng had nearly come to blows with Su Tianrui.

"Hey, I must say you’re something else! My sister traveled all the way to Zhuma Town to find you, and you just let her come back alone, crying. Do you have any idea when I saw her, her eyes were swollen like walnuts? Is your heart made of meat or stone? How can you be so heartless? She’s my only sister; aren’t you afraid she’ll be taken advantage of by some villain? I thought you would at least escort her back yourself, yet you just..."

Xia Zheng glanced at him sideways, his eyebrows lifting dangerously. "My heart’s made of stone? Yes, I’m heartless. But even I, as heartless as I am, can’t compare to the cold-blooded nature of you as her brother! Knowing there are bad people out there, why did you let her leave the city alone for Zhuma Town? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. I haven’t even started with you, but you’re picking a fight with me first. Just think, did I let her come back by herself? Is my mother not a person? Are the guards from Xia Family Barracks not people?"

Su Tianrui swallowed hard. "I’m not saying they’re not people, don’t try to trap me."

To dare say Princess Anle is not a person – forget the Emperor, General Xia would be the first to not let him off the hook!

"But, but she’s my sister, Ah Zheng. You should treat her a bit better for my sake." When being forceful didn’t work, Su Tianrui, cunning as a fox, knew all too well what Xia Zheng’s soft spot was.

Xia Zheng gave him a disdainful look, and huffed. "If it weren’t for your sake, do you think I’d even remember who she is?"

Su Tianrui was taken aback. Alright, the second young master Xia from Capital city’s General Mansion was notorious for his indifference to women; he might indeed not remember Su Qiuyu’s name.

"Ha, isn’t this the owner of Fuman Building? I’ve long admired your reputation. To think that today I would have the fortune to meet you here, Zhao really finds this a stroke of serendipity."

This mocking voice was truly unbearable, like the cawing of a crow!

Xia Zheng curled his lip and turned to look at the speaker. "The Second Prince really has a sense of humor."

Zhao Hongsheng laughed. "It’s not a joke at all. The fact that Second Young Master Xia is the owner of Fuman Building, the whole Capital City knows about it now. Don’t you think so, Tianyou?"

Su Tianyou took a glance at his younger brother and saluted Zhao Hongsheng with a fist. "The Second Prince is correct. Why would Young Master Zheng deny it?"

Xia Zheng, with regards to the Su Mansion’s people, felt that Su Tianrui was someone he could get along with. As for Su Tianyou, the more he saw him, the more displeasing he was, and now he had even joined forces with the Second Prince. Did he not realize that Consort Liu had disrespected Empress Su just yesterday? His two least favorite people joining hands was just unbearable.

"The Second Prince and Eldest Young Master Su have both misunderstood." Xia Zheng, infuriatingly indifferent, turned away from them, wanting to distance himself, "The joke I mentioned isn’t about that. Didn’t the Second Prince say something about being lucky for three lifetimes? You really have a peculiar sense of humor. Don’t assume I don’t know you’ve disliked me since we were young. Well, that’s fine as the feeling is mutual. Since neither of us can stand the sight of the other, it’s better not to look at all."

Pulling at Su Tianrui, who was trying hard not to laugh and clutching his stomach, he said, "Let’s go elsewhere. This place is so nice; we’ll leave it to you. Just don’t follow us, alright? I have a packet of blister beetles on me, a whole bag of
