Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 114: His Days Are Numbered

After leaving the Han Prince Mansion, a few people waited outside for Liu Xuan and Shen Ruhui.

Xie Xun looked at Su Juan and yelled at her, "Are you crazy, agreeing to such a thing with Prince Han!"

Su Juan blinked, looking at Xie Xun with a confused expression, "What did I agree to with him?"

Xie Xun was stunned, "?"

Next to him, Liu Miaoying remained silent for a moment, "I don’t know anything."

Su Juan immediately cast an appreciative glance at Liu Miaoying, [As expected, you understand me, unlike this fool Xie Xun, alas.] 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

At this point, Xie Xun finally realized that Su Juan never intended to agree to Prince Han’s proposal. She had only verbally agreed, without signing anything as a guarantee.

"Well, you’re quite sly!"

Su Juan laughed, "I, Su Juan, have a bad memory and often forget things. How could I remember what Prince Han said?"

[Besides, I’m not Liu Xuan. My promises are worth nothing.]

[As of now, I am just a small Sixth Rank Vice Director, of no use to anyone. If the day ever comes when I get a promotion, with only a few witnesses here, if you don’t speak and I don’t speak, what can Prince Han do?]

Xie Xun gave Su Juan a thumbs up, "That’s you alright."

Sly, extremely sly.

[If Prince Han were still the same Prince Han, I would naturally be willing to help him vie for the world. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. But using innocent people’s lives as leverage... it’s too disappointing.]

Originally holding high expectations for Prince Han, now Su Juan felt only disappointment.

Su Juan was somewhat agitated, [These Songs, all the same, maybe I should just sit on that dragon throne myself.]

Liu Miaoying looked around in fright to make sure no one else heard Su Juan’s words, then breathed a sigh of relief. Such treasonous words should not be said.

This is a crime that could lead to the execution of the entire family.

Xie Xun’s eyes shifted slightly, looking at Su Juan. Nowadays, the old man and Marquis Ping have already begun participating in factional disputes for the heir. Once your lineage is revealed, there will be no turning back.

You’d better really want to sit on that dragon throne.

Liu Xuan, with Shen Ruhui, walked out of the Prince Mansion. Initially, they thought Shen Ruhui might have been tortured beyond recognition, but he was wearing a clean robe, his hair neatly tied, his face clean... he even appeared to have gained weight.

Thinking back to how disheveled Shen Ruhui looked at the Shen Family, Su Juan’s temple twitched, [This is not imprisonment; it’s more like he’s enjoying life at the Han Prince Mansion.]

Xie Xun shared the sentiment. This man looked well, even more spirited than they were, indicating that the people at the Han Prince Mansion not only didn’t mistreat him, but they provided good food and drink.

[Had I known this, I would have just let him enjoy his old age at the Han Prince Mansion. Why rescue him?]

She even felt that Shen Ruhui might have eaten better than herself in recent days.

After coming out, Shen Ruhui politely saluted the group, feeling very grateful, "Thank you all for your rescue today. This kindness, Shen will remember it by heart."

Xie Xun fanned himself, noticing Su Juan’s face, and couldn’t help but stab her metaphorically, "No need to thank us. It was Miss Su who sold herself to Prince Han to redeem you. If you want to thank someone, thank her alone."

Shen Ruhui had naturally heard from Liu Xuan before, and looking at Su Juan, recalling how he drove her out that day, he felt apologetic, "Miss Su, it was petty-minded of Shen that day. I didn’t expect Miss Su to save me without harboring a grudge. I will remember today’s life-saving grace and repay Miss Su in the future."

As he spoke, he was about to kneel but was stopped by Su Juan.

She was strong, and Shen Ruhui couldn’t kneel down.

Su Juan looked steadily at Shen Ruhui, "Since you want to repay, why wait for the future?"

[I don’t believe in repaying in the future, if you want to repay, do it now.]

Shen Ruhui was slightly stunned, glancing at Liu Xuan, then back to Su Juan, "I don’t know what I can do for Miss Su?"

Xie Xun and Liu Miaoying both looked at Su Juan, guessing that she might bring up the matter of the script, as she had always been concerned about it.

However, in the next second, Su Juan shocked everyone with her words, "Isn’t it said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one’s life?"

Liu Miaoying was stunned: "?" Could Ah Juan actually like someone like Mr. Shen?

Xie Xun was alarmed: "!" This Shen Ruhui isn’t even that good-looking, not as handsome as I am, what does Su Juan see in him?

Liu Xuan was startled, his pupils slightly contracting as he looked at Su Juan.

Shen Ruhui couldn’t believe it, "Miss Su, you... you toward me?"

He subconsciously took a step back, struggling internally, thinking she only wanted his script, but didn’t expect she wanted him!?

A seven-foot man, yet to make his mark, how can he be trapped in sentimental affairs?

But a life-saving grace is above all...

Just as Shen Ruhui was about to compromise and agree, Su Juan clearly felt the strange looks from the people around her.

Liu Miaoying opened her mouth, "Ah Juan... you just divorced, isn’t it a bit hasty?"

Su Juan: "???"

[What?]

[Damn, do they think I want Shen Ruhui to repay with his life!?]

[I want the man, but not in that way!]

After a fierce internal struggle, Shen Ruhui spoke, "Miss Su, I understand your intention, but my family is poor, I’m afraid I cannot offer much as a bride price..."

Liu Miaoying looked at Liu Xuan, only to see Liu Xuan continuously watching Su Juan, his thin lips pressed together. Despite still maintaining his usual gentle appearance, there was no laughter in his eyes.

Xie Xun was truly shocked. Su Juan, who had previously wanted to beat and kill Shen Ruhui, even wanted to throw him into the moat. Now she was compelling him to repay with his life.

Indeed, a woman’s heart is hard to fathom.

Su Juan blackened her face, interrupting Shen Ruhui, "Mr. Shen, you’ve misunderstood."

Everyone’s gaze turned to Su Juan.

"I’m currently working at the Ministry of Revenue, very busy with my duties, and I only have one maidservant who is barely literate. I find you suitable and would like you to work by my side."

[Kidding, such a good opportunity, shouldn’t I quickly recruit him to my side?]

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.

Xie Xun was greatly disappointed, thinking he could witness a grand scene of coercing a commoner.

Liu Miaoying heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Su Juan had finally focused on state affairs after her divorce, not on personal matters.

Liu Xuan withdrew his gaze, his expression in his eyes significantly softened though he said nothing.

Shen Ruhui was stupefied, not expecting her words to mean that. However, given his status, it might cause her trouble.

Seeing Shen Ruhui’s concern, Su Juan spoke gently, "I’m not in a hurry. Take two days to think it over. Once you’ve figured it out, we can settle the script. I will seek you out."

Xie Xun thought: He knew it; Su Juan is definitely concerned about the script.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Juan boarded the carriage with Xie Xun.

Suddenly, recalling something, she lifted the curtain and looked at Shen Ruhui, her lips curved slightly, "Mr. Shen, I forgot to tell you."

Shen Ruhui looked puzzled: "?"

Su Juan’s voice was clear, "My surname is Su, first name Juan, currently a Sixth Rank Vice Director of the Ministry of Revenue, and the divorced previous Crown Prince Consort of the Prince Jing Mansion."

Shen Ruhui was struck as if by lightning, his expression frozen.

Su Juan was quite satisfied with his reaction, "Mr. Shen, I’m waiting for the final volume of your renowned work, so don’t disappoint me."

With that, she lowered the curtain.

Laughter rang out from inside the carriage. Xie Xun, sitting outside, gave Shen Ruhui a sympathetic glance.

Shen Ruhui: "..."

Recalling what he had written, he only felt that his life was hanging by a thread.
