Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 143: Too Bad I Can’t Slap It

Minister of the Ministry of Justice Yu Zhong was full of grief and indignation. He thought that he had entered the officialdom at the age of eighteen and was now favored by the Emperor, fortunately promoted to the Standard Third Rank, yet before getting married, he was often teased by a little girl like this, with his butt being constantly stared at... 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Where could he place his dignity!?

Su Juan originally didn’t intend to tease him, but seeing that he was fair and had a protruding butt, the thoughts in her mind were just a bit quicker.

Marquis Wu Yuan couldn’t believe it, staring at Yu Zhong up and down, finally landing his gaze on his butt... to be fair, his butt was indeed more protruding than the average person’s.

Seeing Yu Zhong’s butt, Bai Ziling’s pupils widened slightly, Su’s preferences were truly unique.

He subconsciously touched his own butt. If his butt were bigger, would Su also take a look at him?

Yu Zhong quickly walked to the three of them, respectfully saying to Marquis Wu Yuan, "Today’s affairs caused a bit of a delay, making the Marquis wait for a long time. It’s the fault of my subordinates for not being considerate, it’s my error, please come in, Marquis."

Marquis Wu Yuan smiled as he walked, "No problem, it’s not a big deal, I’m quite healthy, just stood for a while."

Yu Zhong walked beside Marquis Wu Yuan and could clearly feel two pairs of eyes staring intently at him, making his butt feel very anxious.

Su Juan sighed deeply, [It’s a pity I can’t pat it.]

Yu Zhong: "..." He felt defiled.

Bai Ziling’s gaze toward Yu Zhong became more fervent, pondering on the way back to consult the physician on how to achieve what Mr. Yu had.

After finishing the main business of the day, Su Juan left early. When Yu Zhong was seeing Marquis Wu Yuan off, Marquis Wu Yuan glanced at his grandson, had him wait in the carriage, and then asked Yu Zhong, "I see Mr. Yu is still quite young, do you have a family?"

Suddenly asked, Yu Zhong was momentarily stunned, "Replying to the Marquis, I have not yet taken a wife."

The acquaintance with Marquis Wu Yuan was entirely due to this case, and he didn’t quite understand why Marquis Wu Yuan suddenly inquired about his family matters.

Marquis Wu Yuan: "Do you have any plans for marriage recently?"

Yu Zhong laughed, "My family is indeed preparing for marriage discussions."

Marquis Wu Yuan was initially inquiring for his grandson’s sake, and upon hearing this from Yu Zhong, he immediately said, "Mr. Yu should have your family do some research. You must find a well-educated, gentle-natured girl; only then will the days ahead be smooth."

Yu Zhong: "?"

Wasn’t this too familiar from Marquis Wu Yuan?

He immediately became suspicious.

Seeing Yu Zhong’s reaction, Marquis Wu Yuan immediately realized he had spoken too much. He laughed dryly and stroked his beard, "I only talked more because I feel close to Mr. Yu, hope you don’t take offense."

But Yu Zhong didn’t believe that Marquis Wu Yuan truly felt close to him, fearing he had some intention. However, since this was happening in person, it wasn’t appropriate to refute him, so he could only follow his words, "I have taken in the Marquis’s words, thank you for your care. In the future, I will surely marry an educated, gentle-natured wife."

Marquis Wu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then turned to board the carriage.

When marrying a wife, it’s important to choose someone educated and gentle-natured. Unlike Vice Director Su’s daughter, who isn’t educated, not gentle-natured, and always showing her face in public, it’s better to bring her into the gates of the Marquis Wu Yuan Mansion.

...

The case of the Ministry of Justice proceeded smoothly, with both testimony and evidence in place, leading to the arrest of several corrupt officials.

Meanwhile, the Su Family was marrying off a daughter, holding a grand banquet, but for the Xin Family, who showed little favor to Xin Zhang as a second son often suppressed by the legitimate son, the wedding had no pomp.

Su Juan, after all, was of legitimate descent in the Su Family, so she had to return home. Seeing the meager betrothal gifts, not even a tenth of the dowry, it was clear that the Xin Family truly didn’t favor this son, otherwise, they wouldn’t arrange a marriage with a merchant’s daughter for Xin Zhang.

The Xin Family only saw potential benefits in associating with the Su Family because Su Juan was currently favored by the Emperor in court.

But they didn’t even bother to put on a facade.

Before Su Juan even entered Su Lingling’s courtyard, she heard her throwing a fit.

"What does the Xin Family mean by this, trying to humiliate their daughter!" Su Lingling was so angry that she wanted to throw things, but remembering it was her big wedding day, she held back.

Madam Su sighed, naturally feeling sorry for her daughter. Even on the wedding day, the Xin Family deliberately delayed the hour. Usually, by this time, the wedding procession should have arrived at the door. Earlier, Xin Zhang sent a servant to say there was an issue with the entourage, and he was handling it, asking the Su Family to wait a little longer.

Initially, they thought Xin Zhang had great prospects, but hadn’t expected the Xin Family to behave like this, aware that Su Juan no longer lived at the Su Mansion and was not close to the family. Now, they were trying to exert power before the marriage. Left with no choice, Madam Su could only comfort her daughter.

"Bear with it, Xin Zhang has promise. Once he enters the court as an official and establishes a house, you can live elsewhere. The Xin Family won’t be able to bother you, don’t take it out on Xin Zhang. The Xin Family is troublesome, but as a married couple, you should stand together."

Thinking of Xin Zhang’s face, Su Lingling cooled down a bit, "I’m not angry at him, just at how difficult the Xin Family is..."

"Who knows how many grievances Xin Zhang has suffered in the Xin Mansion!"

She pouted, "Mother, I remember what you said, I won’t quarrel with Xin Zhang."

Besides, even if there were any anger, looking at Xin Zhang’s face, what is there to be angry about?

Madam Su reminded her a few more times, "When the Xin Family proposed, it was likely because of your sister. While we have some money, we are lesser than those high officials. Now, our reputation depends on what she has achieved. When she arrives, be sure to speak nicely with her, don’t act stubbornly like before, remember?"

Su Lingling nodded, "You’ve mentioned this several times already. We’re family, I understand."

Before, fearing she’d compete with her for the attention of their father and mother, she’d sometimes verbally target her. But she wasn’t truly foolish; Su Juan now served in court, favored by the Emperor, and this marriage was made possible due to her. There’s no genuine sisterly affection, but having benefited from her, she knew to behave. This was a principle Su Lingling understood clearly.

Seeing Su Lingling much more sensible now, Madam Su heaved a sigh of relief, yet she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness, wiping her tears, "In the blink of an eye, you’re getting married, mother truly can’t bear it, thinking of your past willfulness and mischief, I won’t be able to protect you after you cause trouble in the future..."

"I can’t bear to leave mother either..."

Mother and daughter cried together.

Su Juan stood in the courtyard, listening to the cries, paused in silence, and eventually didn’t go in, not wanting to intrude on their moment of warmth.
