Chapter 591: Chapter 542, Sigh_1

Knowing that the Su Family had no other choice, the Old Master of the Su Family looked at Xiao Yeyang, “If we can offer assistance to the Little Prince, might we have our merits offset our past faults?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head and corrected, “Old Master, you misspoke. You are not helping me but sharing His Majesty’s worries. The Emperor, my imperial uncle, has always been clear about rewards and punishments.”

Old Master Su: “I understand now.”

Yan Wenkai, seeing that the atmosphere in the room no longer felt so tense, knew it was his turn to speak and reminded the Old Master Su, “Old Master, you must be careful, make sure no word of this leaks out.”

“Once this matter gets out, others won’t care whether you participated or not. In the eyes of outsiders, it will be seen as the Su Family’s doing. By then, even if you have an explanation, you won’t be able to clear your name, and with a few enemies adding fuel to the fire, you might be saddled with unfounded charges.”

Old Master Su glanced at Yan Wenkai and then glanced at the token at his waist, smiling, “Thank you for the reminder, Centurion Yan.”

Hearing himself referred to in this way by Old Master Su, Yan Wenkai felt somewhat uneasy and forced a smile.

Seeing Yan Wenkai revert to his usual honest and straightforward demeanor, Old Master Su inwardly chastised himself for misjudging the situation, realizing he was dealing with someone who played the fool to catch the wise.

Xiao Yeyang stood up, “It’s getting late, so we will not trouble the Old Master any further.”

Old Master Su hurriedly stood up to see them off.

Yan Wenkai immediately said, “Old Master, please take a seat, we are familiar with the Su Residence, we’ll find our way out.”

Old Master Su smiled, “As one gets older, the legs aren’t as nimble. Moving around more is good for the body.” Saying so, he insisted on escorting the three of them out.

Just as they were about to step out of the room, Xiao Yeyang turned to Old Master Su and Third Master Su, smiling, “I hope the matters discussed today, as well as our identities, will not leave this room.”

Third Master Su immediately expressed his stance, “Of course, the Little Prince came to borrow books from my father today.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded and without further delay, walked briskly out of the study.

As soon as everyone came out, they saw Su Hongxin waiting in the courtyard.

“Grandfather, I’ve brought the tea leaves for you.”

Old Master Su nodded, “Put them in the study for me.”

Su Hongxin quickly handed the tea leaves to a servant and rushed to Yan Wenkai’s side, pulling him to the back of the crowd by the neck.

“Spill it, what the hell were you guys up to today?”

He could tell at a glance that there was something off with the expressions on his grandfather’s and father’s faces.

Yan Wenkai pushed his arm away, “You’ll find out from your grandfather later, don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. We were just chatting.”

Old Master Su turned his head to look at the two, seeing his grandson and Yan Wentao in close company, he let out a slight sigh.

Even though they were used by the Little Prince as pawns, it also gave their family a chance. If the matter had been directly exposed, the Su Family’s legacy would diminish with this generation or at least dwindle away.

After seeing off Xiao Yeyang and the others, Old Master Su and Third Master Su exchanged a glance and went back into the study.

Seeing this, Su Hongxin also scurried after them.

Third Master Su, seeing his son catching up and considering that Yan Wenkai and Wentao were now both centurions of the Sixth-rank Jinling Guard, felt a bit dissatisfied as his own son had yet to achieve anything, and said, “Look at you, you’ve been with the Little Prince earlier than the Yan brothers, yet why is it that the ones by the Little Prince’s side are not you? What have you been doing all these years?”

Looking at his father, who was visibly upset, Su Hongxin touched his nose, “That’s not my fault. The Little Prince just isn’t as close to me and Brother Dong as he is to Wenkai and Wentao. What can I do about it?”

Third Master Su wanted to say more but was stopped by Old Master Su.

Old Master Su glanced at his son, “If you were to choose an ally, would you choose the Yan brothers, with their uncomplicated backgrounds and no entangled interests, or would you choose the sons of aristocratic families with endless conflicts of interest?”

Third Master Su fell silent before finally saying, “Sons of aristocratic families have their benefits. Connections and resources are something people from humble backgrounds can’t compare with.” _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

Old Master Su said impatiently, “The Little Prince hasn’t abandoned the sons of aristocratic families either, has he? Doesn’t he often keep Yuanxuan and Hongxin close to him?” He sighed, “We’ve really underestimated the Little Prince.”
