Su San's Divine Logic

  A gentle smile, like a spring flower blooming, left Su San as if he had lost his soul. In an instant, the teacup in his hand was not held tightly, and a moment of distraction caused it to shatter on the ground.

  Zhao Li was shocked and turned his head to see Su San standing there in a daze, with empty hands and shattered porcelain all over the floor.

  Su San felt Zhao Li's gaze and immediately turned around with a ferocious expression, glaring at him angrily.

  Su San glared at him, and Zhao Li hastily shrunk his neck, not daring to look again.

  He couldn't understand it, wasn't that man just a rustic bumpkin, how could he have such great deterrent power?

  Su San was now filled with regret, how could he have lost his composure in front of a man who had designs on the young woman. If she were to misunderstand, it would be disastrous. No, he must think of a way to salvage his dignity later. And so, for the rest of the time, Su San secretly pondered ways to recover from this loss of face.

  An saw Su San's appearance and felt a bit silly, couldn't help but laugh quietly. However, since they were outside, she only covered her mouth and laughed quietly for a moment.

  An Yan looked at Su San, who was lowering his head as if deep in thought, and Zhao Li, who seemed to be frightened, and hastily came out to mediate, saying: "The little woman also has an idea about the jewelry business."

  This remark successfully attracted Zhao Li's attention.

  He instantly threw off the oppression brought by Su San and looked at An Yan with shining eyes again.

  An softly pulled out a drawing from his hand and handed it over to Zhao Li.

  Because of the clothes style thing just now, Zhao Li already didn't dare to look at this small piece of paper again. On the contrary, he was filled with expectation instead. However, what made him unexpected was that the little woman only gave him one sheet at this moment.

  However, out of curiosity, Zhao Li took a look at the drawing and saw that it was a piece of jewelry. The pattern was simple, just a plum blossom that could be seen everywhere, but its shape was novel and elegant. The more he looked at it, the more beautiful it became. It can be said that this one paper was enough. Because there was no indication of what material it was made of. So, the material of this hairpin could be jade, could be agate, could be gold, or could be silver. There were many possibilities, and this was where the unlimited business opportunities lay.

  Zhao Li's entire being was excited, these papers were simply priceless. And just now that little woman seemed to have a dozen or so in her hand, suddenly her eyes were burning with desire, and the color of greed was faintly visible.

  An Yan saw Zhao Li's appearance and secretly sneered in her heart. People are indeed greedy, always wanting to gain more and never knowing satisfaction.

  "Master looking at the young woman like this, don't tell me you think she still has some good stuff on her?"

  "Isn't it?"

  Zhao Li's tone had changed, with a hint of a smile that was not quite a smile. The desire in his eyes was very strong. At this moment, he only wanted to get all the drawings from An Wen's hands. Then, the Zhao family would have a place in Qing City, let alone in Xinzhu County.

  A faint, ambiguous smile appeared on An Yan's face, with a cold glint in his eyes. Unfortunately, Zhao Li was completely unaware of this and continued to gaze at An Yan's hand with greedy eyes.

  An softly smiled and handed over the papers to Zhao Li. Zhao Li took them over and immediately opened them one by one with excitement, but unfortunately, there was nothing on those papers, they were all blank.

  The eyes that were originally red suddenly seemed to have been splashed with a splash of cold water, and in an instant, only chill was left in his eyes.

  "Is Madam Su teasing Zhao?"

  Are you angry? An Yan raised an eyebrow, thinking that the person in front of her was too shallow and didn't do a good job on the surface. With such a temper and IQ, it would be easy to take advantage of him to deal with the Zhao family, and then drive a wedge between him and County Magistrate's wife. It would be simple. He was so easily impulsive, so easily hot-headed, it was simply great. In an instant, An Yan's original disdain had faded away, replaced by a satisfied expression.

  "What are you talking about, young master? The little woman has brought all the ancestral drawings that have been passed down for over a hundred years in her husband's family, and now you're saying something like this, it's really too much to deceive people."

  "Is this what your husband inherited from his ancestors?"

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Li's eyes flickered and he looked at Su San with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, just as Su San's ferocious gaze met his. Su San's eyes seemed to be saying, "This is my family heirloom, do you have any objections?"

  Su Sans eyes made Zhao Li's arrogance decrease a bit, but his tone was still somewhat unpleasant.

  "Is that really all?"

  "Of course it's all here. If we don't bring everything out for Master Zhao, are we waiting for the Wu family to come and fight over it?"

  After saying this, An Yan made a gesture of having misspoken and stopped talking.

  Seeing An Yan like this, Zhao Li, who was neither stupid nor clever, suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, thinking that he had discovered some earth-shaking secret.

  Could it be that Wu Kei's visit to the White family yesterday was not only to warn them about the trouble, but also for these things. This explanation seems more reasonable. After all, Wu Kei is the young master of the Wu family, how could he have nothing better to do than to go to the countryside just to find trouble with a few farmers?

  An Yan raised his head, with a look of reckless abandon, "Since we've already said this much, I might as well say it all."

  Zhao Li's eyes lit up, but he pretended to be calm and collected, thinking that the little woman in front of him was being led by him. In fact, it was himself who was being led by the nose, without even realizing it. He was foolish to this extent, really stupid to the point of being ridiculous.

  Her eyes were filled with anger, her small face icy cold. "This isn't the first time the Wu family has treated us this way," she said indignantly. "Last time it was over an improved recipe for bamboo leaf green tea, a secret formula passed down through our White family that was seized by the Wu and Wei families together. Now, who knows how they found out we still have six mysterious scrolls hidden away, but they've come knocking on our door again. I thought to myself, since they're going to find out about these six scrolls sooner or later, it's only a matter of time before they follow in the footsteps of that improved bamboo leaf green tea recipe. So I figured, why not just give them to Young Master Zhao instead? At least he's kind and generous, and would never do something as ruthless as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. That's what happened, if you don't believe me, Young Master, then forget about the scrolls, consider it a lesson learned."

  With these words, all of Zhao Li's retreats were blocked.

  There was a precedent before, Wu's family had already taken the blame. Later, after a round of praise for Zhao Li, Zhao Li suddenly felt like he was walking on air and couldn't do anything to grab the drawings. After all, his father was still waiting for that little woman to treat him. If he offended her, it would be a disaster in the end, and he wouldn't get any benefits either.

  "How could this be said? Doesn't Madam Su know Zhao's character? How can Madam Su take Zhao as that kind of petty person? Zhao is really heartbroken."

  Zhao Li pretended to be sad, putting on a sorrowful expression. An Yan looked at the corners of his eyes twitching violently. That Zhao Li, that sorrowful expression, was truly enough to ward off evil spirits!

  "Young master, there's no need to be like this. This woman is narrow-minded and has misunderstood you. You are a magnanimous person, so it's better not to bother with her."

  "No, no."

  Zhao Li showed a generous and magnanimous appearance, which made An Yan feel satisfied in his heart.

  "Madam Su, don't worry, the Zhao family won't be able to stay in the county for much longer. This family that only knows how to bully and plunder is a scourge on Xinzhu County. I will discuss this with my aunt and uncle, and we must work hard to purify the atmosphere of Xinzhu County."

  "Great Master Renyi is indeed a blessing for us ordinary people in Hsinchu County."

  An Yan made a show of great effort and pretended to be in awe, elevating Zhao Li to a high position, letting him deal with the Wu family.

  With benefits leading the way and a good reputation tempting him afterwards, how could Zhao Li not be moved?

  Zhao Li's eyes had a stronger desire for wealth and fame, his mind was already thinking about how to swallow up the Wu family.

  Little did he know, his uncle might not be willing to see the Zhao family dominate alone.

  Inside the hall, a strange atmosphere flowed quietly, with An Yan's subtle smile between his eyebrows, Zhao Li's lust in his eyes, and Su San's cold gaze. At this moment, they seemed to be shrouded in mist, hazy and indistinct.

  At this time, a young servant came over to refill their tea.

  Su San took a look, and a flash of light flickered in his eyes. His fingers moved slightly, and the little servant's body tilted to one side as he passed by An Yan, almost falling onto An Yan's body.

  "Get out."

  Su San suddenly kicked out, and with one foot, he kicked that little servant out of the main hall and into the courtyard.

  "Girl, are you alright? Don't be afraid, whoever it is, as long as they have the intention of harming you, I will tear them to pieces."

  An Yan felt dizzy, what had just happened? She only saw that little servant walking normally, then his leg bent, and before she could even think, she already saw that unlucky little servant being kicked out of the hall by Su San. What's even more frightening was that the little servant didn't make a sound, could he be dead?

  "Is he dead?"

  Staring blankly at Su San, he asked a dull question.

  "No, just lying in bed for a day will be fine."

  He still has a sense of proportion, looking very fierce, but his focus is mainly on the sleepy hole, so there is no major damage. His main purpose is to warn Zhao Li, so he won't be too cruel to an ignorant little servant.

  But after Su San finished saying these words, Zhao Li's face changed. He had a feeling that this was said to him. Listening to these words, he felt his heart trembling and panicked.

  This man looks extremely formidable. However, he's also somewhat too arrogant, isn't he?

  Zhao Li's fear dissipated somewhat due to his anger, after all, he was the young master of the Zhao family and the future head of the household. And this man, was just a slightly more skilled foot soldier, yet he dared to ignore him and provoke him. How could they tolerate this? The Zhao estate wasn't one that could be easily bullied either. A hint of sinister intent flashed in Zhao Li's eyes, but on his face, there was a somewhat gloomy smile.

  "Su Gongzi is so skilled."

  "Hmm, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and in terms of martial arts skills, I'm also considered to be exceptional."

  Zhao Li was just being polite, but he didn't expect that cold-faced man to be completely unceremonious.

  An Yan was surprised, Su San didn't seem like the kind of person who would be so rude. She glanced at Su San and found him slightly tilting his head, with an air of being extremely confident. That appearance, indeed, seemed somewhat like that of a very proud master. An Yan couldn't understand why Su San's behavior today was so strange, she furrowed her brow slightly.

  "My clothes got dirty, I'll go change, you two wait."

  Zhao Li finished speaking and left without waiting for their reaction.

  As soon as Zhao Liyi left, An Yan suddenly said strangely to Su San: "That Zhao Li must be going to find the thugs of the Zhao Mansion, can you handle it?"

  Su San heard An Yan's words and felt very depressed in his heart. He muttered: "I'm fine, don't believe me? You can try it out."

  The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. How can gentle words be considered somewhat ambiguous and shameless?

  "Shameless."

  Thinking so, An Yan quietly cursed out loud.

  When Su San heard the scolding, he was very puzzled and didn't know where he went wrong. Without having experienced human affairs and being a veteran of many years of military campaigns, how could Su San have known that his words just now were ambiguous? If Zhang Jue were here, he would definitely be sneering along with him and adding a sentence saying "Boss, you're so bad!"

  An Yan looked at Su San's bewildered expression and was speechless. This Su San, who didn't look young, seemed like a naive little boy. And indeed, An Yan had guessed it right, in some ways, Su San was still a naive little boy, not a real man...

  So, on the wedding night, Su San unintentionally made some jokes.

  "What's wrong with you today? Why are you looking at Zhao Li with disapproval?"

  An Yan naturally wouldn't think that Su San was displeased with that little servant, after all, that little servant had only been on stage for less than thirty seconds and hadn't even shown his full face before being kicked away by Su San. Therefore, An Yan attributed the reason to Zhao Li instead. However, Zhao Li didn't say anything about Su San from start to finish, it could be said that he did nothing but got shot.

  "He's ugly and it makes me uncomfortable to look at him."

  “……”

  God replied...

  Luckily Zhao Li didn't hear it, otherwise he would have vomited three liters of blood.

  Zhao Li himself had always thought that he was handsome and elegant, with an extraordinary appearance. Now, someone actually said that he looked too ugly and was very unsightly.

  "It's ugly."

  Su San's face showed a look of extreme disgust, and after a pause, she added another sentence.

  He suppressed his urge to smile and continued to ask: "So you kicked the little guy out?"

  "Ugly in appearance, yet talkative, listening to you is annoying."

  “……”

  An Yan discovered for the first time that Su San's logic was so powerful...

  "Because of your disdain, we might get beaten up by a group of people after we go out?"

  "Mob beating?"

  Su San raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding the meaning of this new verb.

  "A group of big and tall men came to beat us two..."

  "They're asking for trouble!"

  “……”

  Is it necessary to be so overbearing...

  When Zhao Li returned to the hall again, he saw An Yan slightly lowering his head, with a dejected look, and Su San also had a dejected look. Suddenly, he felt very puzzled. Did these two quarrel when I wasn't around?

  An Yan saw Zhao Li, and with a glance, she found that the clothes were indeed still the same, but the person wearing them had changed. At this moment, Zhao Li's face was trying hard to conceal his emotions, but the faint joy was still subtly revealed.

  "It's getting late, we should head back."

  He bid farewell with a calm expression, his face not flushing or panting. Zhao Li looked at the sky outside in confusion, it was just a sunny day...

  But anyway, it's good to go back and let that man get a lesson earlier.

  "Well, I'll see you off then."

  Zhao Li stood up and prepared to send An Yan and Su San out.

  "It's okay, it's okay."

  It's better to think carefully, if Zhao Li really sends him away and Su San gets tired of his ugly appearance halfway and kicks him out of the Zhao mansion, things will get out of hand...

  Zhao Li didn't understand why, but he felt that the little woman in front of him seemed very nervous about seeing him off.

  Although he wanted to take a closer look at the little woman, thinking of his plan later on, Zhao Li didn't insist. Soon, when that man was crippled, wouldn't this little woman be crying and shouting, throwing herself into his arms? Just thinking about it made Zhao Li feel a burning sensation in his chest, and the smile on his face twisted slightly.

  An Yan and Su San walked to the entrance of the Zhao Manor, An Yan couldn't help but look up at the large plaque hanging above, feeling as if it was exuding a corrupt aura.

  "Hurry back home, otherwise there won't be dinner."

  Su San didn't like seeing An Yan staring at the sign of Zhao's residence, so he thought of an excuse to urge him. Hearing Su San's words, An Yan smiled and scolded him with a glance, "You won't starve to death."

  This glance, with a thousand charms, has enchanted Su San so much that he is lost in the moment. He stands there, looking foolish and dazed.

  She walked a little further, finding no one beside her. Hurriedly turning back to look, she saw Su's face as stiff as a brick wall, staring blankly ahead. She suddenly felt amused, and her silvery laughter spread through the air, bringing warmth and fragrance.

  She ran a few steps and came to Su San's front, pulled up his big hand, and walked away.

  Su San came back to his senses and looked at his large hands with an excited expression.

  This is the little woman taking her own hand...

  This time he didn't pull back, but instead let the little woman's soft small hand hold his big hand, feeling that kind of tug. As long as she was leading him, even if it were a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, he would still be delighted.

  An's small hand held onto the large hand, feeling that this sensation was great. The kind of control she had, it seemed like no matter where she wanted to go, the owner of the large hand would be willing to accompany her in general. This feeling, was really great, she wanted to preserve it for a bit longer.

  Unfortunately, there are always some people who don't know how to behave.

  As they were about to pass an intersection, Su San's large hand moved, stopping An Yan in his tracks.

  "What's wrong?"

  An Yan's small hand did not let go, but instead turned back in surprise to look at Su San.

  "There are a few fleas here, annoying. You wait here, I'll be right back."

  Su San finished speaking and released his grip, then ran forward and turned into a small alley.

  The words were on his lips, but before he could shout "Su San be careful", it was too late.

  She thought that since Zhao Li had made a move, he must have sent out some of his best men, definitely different from the villagers in Beishan Village that day and the few young servants brought by Wu Kai. Because she was worried, An Yan quickly walked a few steps forward, her skills were not bad either, and at critical moments, she could also be helpful.

  It wasn't until she walked to the entrance of the alley and saw the situation inside that she felt her worries were truly unnecessary.

  Su San went in, but only for a few breaths of time. However, at this moment, more than a dozen sturdy thugs were lying on the ground inside the alley, all in a state of unconsciousness.

  Isn't this efficiency too high?

  It's doubtful whether those thugs really got a good look at Su San's appearance or not?

  Su San happened to turn his head at this moment and saw An Yan's astonished eyes.

  "I didn't go too far."

  Seeing An Yan, Su San involuntarily tensed up and explained himself, afraid that An Yan would misunderstand him as a ruthless person.

  "It doesn't matter if we get beaten up, they wanted to gang up on us, getting beaten is what we deserve."

  This time is different, if you and Su San are powerless to tie a chicken, I'm afraid that today will not die but be disabled. Therefore, at this moment, An Yan naturally has no benevolent heart.

  Upon hearing this, Su San furrowed his brow and asked: "Then should I beat them up again?"

  Once more?

  An Yan's gaze swept lightly over the thugs who had been knocked unconscious, everyone was already knocked out, if they were hit again, wouldn't someone really die?

  "It's fine, let's just leave it like this and head back quickly."

  Next, all the way was calm and peaceful. Su San drove the ox cart again, bringing An Yan back to the White family.

  In the afternoon, An Yan remembered the matter of reporting Bai Shui County Magistrate and told Su San about his own idea. Su San listened and naturally agreed, and immediately rushed to the county to find Zhang Jun to send a message.

  Su San didn't want to leave An Yan, not even for a day, so he entrusted Zhang Jun with the important task of sending the letter.

  Arriving at Zhang Jun's room, Su San unexpectedly saw Zhang Jun staring intently as he wrote something.

  "What are you writing?"

  A loud voice suddenly came from inside the room, Zhang Jun was startled and looked around to see Su San. He patted his chest and said in a choked tone: "Boss, scaring people can be fatal."

  Su San didn't say a word, shook his head ambiguously and sat down opposite Zhang Jun.

  "Boss, I'm writing a love letter. Recently, I feel like the wife destined for me has finally appeared."

  Zhang Jun had a mysterious look on his face, with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of tenderness, and a sweet expression as if he was deeply in love.

  Su San handed a letter to Zhang Jun and said, "Deliver this letter to the lord of Qingcheng City."

  "Waaaah..."

  Zhang Jun suddenly let out a strange cry and instantly said with a pitiful expression: "Boss, I'm already in my twenties, but I still haven't married a wife."

  "I'm already standing tall and proud, but I still haven't caught up with my wife."

  "I'm going, leaving tonight."

  It's indeed a comparison that makes one aware of the gap. In an instant, Zhang Jun felt that his task of pursuing his wife was even more daunting.
