Chapter 590: Chapter 541, Making a Name with a Single Feat_1
As soon as Yan Wentao saw Xiao Yeyang deliberately reveal his Jinling Guard token, he faintly understood why they had come today, so he also casually showed his own token.
Yan Wenkai was originally here to demonstrate his value. Seeing Xiao Yeyang reveal his identity, he immediately followed suit.
The study was somewhat quiet.
The elder Mr. Su and the third Mr. Su had lost their earlier ease and comfort, and now, both of their faces were somewhat solemn as they silently watched Xiao Yeyang.
The Jinling Guard…
If one were to speak of the person most feared by officials in Daxia, it would undoubtedly be a member of the Jinling Guard.
Usually, a visit from the Jinling Guard spelled trouble.
The elder Mr. Su was somewhat uncertain of Xiao Yeyang’s intentions for this visit, glancing at his grandson who had left before automatically positioning himself behind Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao, who now stood at Xiao Yeyang’s back.
Neither man looked around or said a word. The sharp aura they emitted was alarming.
The elder Mr. Su, who had weathered great storms, saw at a glance that both men’s hands were stained with blood.
Goodness, if they hadn’t revealed their identities on their own, he might have really misjudged them.
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai knew the elder Mr. Su was appraising them and also understood that the old man was hoping they would give him a hint, but neither of them spoke, stubbornly holding against the old man’s gaze.
The most at ease in the room was Xiao Yeyang. At that moment, he was leisurely leaning back in his chair, holding a teacup, pinching the lid, and gently skimming off the tea leaves floating on the surface of the water.
He wasn’t drinking, just idly fidgeting with it.
In the entire room, only the friction between the teacup lid and the teacup could be heard.
With every scrape of the lid, the mood of the elder Mr. Su and the third Mr. Su grew more somber.
After a while, the elder Mr. Su sighed and was the first to speak, “I wonder what the Little Prince’s visit is about this time?”
Xiao Yeyang looked up at the elder Mr. Su and smiled, “I only recently learned that the Su Family is indeed a venerable aristocratic family, with such a large and wealthy estate.”
The elder Mr. Su’s expression sharpened, and he clasped his hands together in a fist, “I ask the Little Prince to speak frankly.”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Yan Wenkai and continued toying with his teacup.
Yan Wenkai took an envelope from his bosom and handed it to the elder Mr. Su.
The elder Mr. Su stood up, received the envelope, took a quick glance at Yan Wenkai, then hastily opened it. As he saw its contents, his complexion instantly turned ashen, and his hands began to tremble.
Seeing this, the third Mr. Su immediately came forward to support the elder, “Father!”
Yan Wenkai was also somewhat worried about the elder Mr. Su and wanted to come forward to help, but after seeing Xiao Yeyang’s warning look, he forcefully held back.
Xiao Yeyang watched the elder Mr. Su with a faint smile. How could the head of an old aristocratic family not withstand a little shock? He was merely relying on his age, intending to use the sentiments from their previous interactions to garner more benefits for the upcoming conversation.
Seeing the three men’s indifference, the elder Mr. Su internally cursed them as ‘sly little brats,’ then had to calm his agitated emotions on his own.
In the meantime, the third Mr. Su had also swiftly read the contents of the envelope. After reading it, his entire complexion whitened, and he urgently said to Xiao Yeyang, “Little Prince, we are not aware of these matters. The Su Family is extensive with many members, and many things are beyond our control.”
Xiao Yeyang put down the teacup, still smiling, “I’m willing to believe the third Mr. Su, but…” he pointed at the letter in his hand, “although the author of this letter is from a collateral line, they have a close relationship with your main family line. If I’m not mistaken, they even sent you generous gifts for the New Year.”
Seeing his son reveal weakness from the outset, the elder Mr. Su felt somewhat helpless and, before his son could speak again, interjected, “Little Prince, there must be some misunderstanding. Our Su Family has always been loyal and true. Could it be mistaken?”
