Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 139: Su Juan Discovers Her Inner Voice Is Leaking Out

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Su Juan Discovers Her Inner Voice Is Leaking Out

Su Juan looked at Xie Xun, recalling his peculiar reactions today, which seemed quite inappropriate in that setting.

She felt an unsettling suspicion in her heart, her eyes fixed on Xie Xun, thinking, "What on earth happened to Xie Xun at the Li Mansion today?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xun glanced at Su Juan, not understanding what was wrong with him.

"In such a serious setting, he actually spat out his tea while laughing?"

Xie Xun: "..." Can you blame me? It’s because of that sudden comment you made.

As Su Juan looked at Xie Xun, she found him increasingly suspicious. She remembered the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Wu Ziyu, and thought, "Shoot! Could this guy also hear what I’m thinking like Wu Ziyu?"

Xie Xun was startled; "?!?!" Crap, am I exposed?!

His heart was racing, and he didn’t even dare to look at Su Juan anymore. Grabbing the teacup from the table, he nonchalantly started chatting with Shen Ruhui.

Su Juan’s gaze, however, grew more skeptical. Testing him, she cursed in her mind, "Xie Xun looks like a little girl."

Xie Xun pretended not to hear and continued talking to Shen Ruhui, maintaining an air of calmness during such times.

"Xie Xun is an idiot, stupid and dull. I’ve never met someone as dumb as him. All his intelligence seems to have gone to his face. Sigh."

Xie Xun: "..."

Seeing Xie Xun’s lack of reaction, Su Juan’s suspicion didn’t wane, and she found his earlier reactions even more questionable.

Shen Ruhui noticed Su Juan staring at Xie Xun and smiled, "Why does Miss Su keep looking at Brother Xie?"

Su Juan chuckled twice, "Just suddenly thought that Xie Xun is really good-looking, the number one beauty in Capital City."

Shen Ruhui laughed, "Miss Su holds Brother Xie in such high regard, she must like him a lot."

Su Juan propped her elbow on the table, her palm cupping half her face as she smiled at Xie Xun, "Of course, I’ve always had a fondness for him."

"Who doesn’t like a brainless yet pretty little fool?"

"Wouldn’t you agree, little fool?"

Xie Xun felt a cold chill on his back, forcing a stiff laugh. He picked up a fan from the table and waved it, "Ah, it’s not my fault I was born so good-looking and popular."

He appeared calm on the outside, but inside, he was panicking: Stay calm, stay calm.

Su Juan was just suspicious for now, and at times like this, one must remain calm.

Seeing Xie Xun’s reaction, Su Juan became even more doubtful.

Could what Wu Ziyu said earlier be true?

Could they all hear, but pretended not to?

Su Juan shivered at the thought. If that were true, it would be terrifying.

She couldn’t recall everything she used to think about, but she was sure she often cursed people.

Su Juan took a deep breath, she couldn’t panic; it was just a suspicion, not a fact.

If they really could hear, considering the people I’ve cursed in the past, they would have skinned me alive by now rather than let me live on like this.

Who could endure that much?

Thinking too much, overthinking it.

Despite trying to soothe herself, the seed of doubt had already taken root in Su Juan’s heart.

...

The situation escalated much faster than Shen Ruhui and Su Juan expected. In just one day, the matter of Judge Wu from Jiang State giving women to Li Ren, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, for his son’s future prospects spread wildly in Capital.

The matter concerned scholars across the nation, and public resentment was rampant.

That day during the morning court assembly, many courtiers, filled with righteous indignation, were waiting outside the Golden Hall, already huffing and puffing even before seeing the Emperor.

Su Juan alighted from the carriage, for once not feeling sleepy, and recalling her suspicions from last night, her gaze fell on the Minister of War not far ahead, thinking, "It’s rare, but the Minister of War seems to have actually bathed today."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of War turned his head, glared at Su Juan with a dark face.

Su Juan: "..."

"Holy crap!!! Help!!!"

This exclamation startled all the officials, even making those who were preparing their words to present themselves first look over in confusion.

Su Juan panicked, "Oh my God!!!!!!"

"Ah!!! Someone save me, save me!"

The officials looked puzzled; what’s wrong with the Vice Director today?

Is she crazy?

With nearly all eyes on her, Su Juan took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, she couldn’t panic; the more critical the situation, the more she had to stay composed.

These people were pretending they couldn’t hear anything, she had to control her emotions as well.

"Ah, what a beautiful day it is today, with a gentle breeze and pleasant fragrance, it’s the scent of summer!"

"Really want to fly a kite in the countryside..."

The officials were speechless and turned their heads away; It seemed this Vice Director had taken the wrong medicine today.

Only then did Su Juan relax, it truly was frightening.

"It’s alright, being alive is already quite something, it’s okay, no need to be nervous, gold will always shine..."

The officials: What is this Vice Director talking about?

"Life is like a game of chess, everyone is born with a talent, if I don’t have to use it, I won’t..."

The officials: "..."

Su Juan didn’t dare let her guard down for a moment, "The grape wine, shining cup; for every beast, I’ll have a sip..."

"I must admit, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Justice has quite the perky rear, must have a nice feel."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice, only twenty-six years old, turned red: "!!!"

He’d heard about the Vice Director’s reputation but he didn’t expect her to be so outrageous.

Realizing that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was reacting, Su Juan repeatedly gave herself mental slaps, "Stop, stop! Su Juan, what nonsense are you spouting, how dare you disrespect such a wise and mighty person like the Minister of the Ministry of Justice!"

"Utterly ridiculous and inappropriate."

The surrounding colleagues weren’t surprised, as Su Juan was known for being disorganized in her thoughts, with random musings, but today they were more chaotic than usual, likely due to hitting her head on the way out.

"But it’s definitely perked up, who wouldn’t want to give it a pat?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice blushed, never having been stared at so brazenly by a young woman. He awkwardly shifted a few steps, moving in front of someone else, while Minister Mo of the Ministry of Revenue sympathetically obstructed Su Juan’s gaze for him.

Minister Mo spoke earnestly, "You’ll get used to it."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice: "..." How can I ever get used to this!!!

Who could ever get used to having their rear stared at like this!

The other colleagues looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and shook their heads. After all, he was young and, as they heard, unmarried.

No wonder, just being looked at made him blush.

...

As everyone slowly entered the Golden Hall, the Old Emperor stepped into the hall, suddenly hearing, "Your Majesty looks so energetic, truly a majestic ruler."

The Old Emperor stumbled, directly sitting down on the dragon throne, grimacing from the pain.

"Ah! Our wise and mighty Emperor, truly handsome and dashing, a rare enlightened ruler in a thousand years..."

The Old Emperor: "..."

What did this girl take today?

Duke Ping was also stunned: "?"

Su Juan continued, "I wish I could see our mighty Emperor of Da Jin day and night!"

The chill down the Old Emperor’s spine intensified, realizing this girl’s behavior was not normal, definitely abnormal.

The officials were silent: The Vice Director must have been pinched in the head on her way out this morning.
