Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 206: Song Qianhang Is Rejected

Song Qianhang stared intently at Su Juan, even reaching out to smooth her furrowed brows.

Su Juan finally couldn’t hold it in, "I think you’re truly insane!"

[Leaving behind the title of the second son of Prince Jing Mansion, rushing to become a live-in son-in-law, failing that and still wanting to be a mistress without status!]

[Respectable families don’t keep mistresses, you’re trying to ruin me!]

Song Qianhang said, "I won’t let anyone else know, only you and I will know."

He thought, in front of others, they’ll just act as they did before. As long as they can occasionally sit together alone and share their innermost thoughts, others won’t notice anything.

[Where do I have such charm, if you’re going crazy, don’t direct it at me!]

Song Qianhang, who just got scolded: "..."

My ex-husband’s younger brother fancies me, can’t marry me, wants to force his way into my life, and failing that, wants to be a secret lover. Which household’s story would dare write such a thing!

Su Juan now understood why Song Qianhang was killed so quickly by Song Qianfan twice before. This brother’s ideas are just too insane.

She shook her head repeatedly, [Too terrifying.]

Su Juan headed straight for the exit, afraid that if she stayed and continued talking with Song Qianhang, she’d end up hitting him.

As she opened the door, she met two pairs of wide eyes.

Xie Xun and Liu Miaoying stared directly, looking guilty like they had been thieving when they saw Su Juan.

Su Juan: "..." What a nightmare.

She quickly walked outside, Liu Miaoying following closely.

Xie Xun looked at Song Qianhang inside, clicked his tongue twice, he really didn’t see it coming. Song Qianhang used to be quite the ’romantic rogue’, having seen quite a few ladies, yet now he’s so willing to be a mistress without status.

But Su Juan indeed has self-control, because undoubtedly, if any lady were like Song Qianhang with him, he would have agreed.

As the two came out, Liu Miaoying caught up with Su Juan, tugging at her arm, "Ah Juan, I really didn’t mean to eavesdrop; it was Heir Xie who pulled me to listen."

Su Juan’s mouth twitched, [He could force you to eavesdrop, huh?]

Liu Miaoying felt quite guilty because she’d never eavesdropped before. But when she stumbled upon Song Qianhang saying those things, her curiosity just couldn’t resist listening a bit more.

"Ah Juan, Song Qianhang he..."

Su Juan stopped in her tracks, turned to Liu Miaoying, "Don’t mention it anymore."

She truly felt Song Qianhang was crazy; she sensed something before but thought Song Qianhang didn’t say it because he knew it wasn’t right, as their previous way of interacting was perfectly fine.

Who would’ve thought he’d go crazy today, saying things like becoming a live-in son-in-law or a mistress without status?

This is so unlike his previous style.

Liu Miaoying, however, found it somewhat funny, "Ah Juan, you’re flustered."

Su Juan: "..."

[Who wouldn’t be flustered in this situation?]

She stared at Liu Miaoying, changed the subject with a straight face, "The thing I asked you about before, have you thought it through enough to give me an answer?"

Liu Miaoying looked around, "Are you sure you want to discuss it here?"

Su Juan: "Then let’s go to my mansion."

Saying that, she strode forward, with Liu Miaoying following, laughing aloud.

Ah Juan is smart about everything else, but when it comes to matters of the heart, she turns into a fool.

...

The Old Emperor personally chose a new mansion for Su Juan. The mansion grounds are very large, more majestic than Prince Jing Mansion. Since it hasn’t officially opened yet, there are only two guards at the gate and some servants sweeping and cleaning.

When the two entered the front yard, Shen Ruhui was busy calculating the profits from Su Juan’s businesses and the rent from the leased houses.

Seeing this scene, Liu Miaoying couldn’t help but say, "Have you found yourself a bookkeeper?"

Su Juan smiled slightly, "Shen Ruhui is quite capable. After all, hiring a bookkeeper costs silver, so it’s better to let him do it since my Princess Mansion provides his food and drink; he won’t be mistreated."

Upon hearing this, Liu Miaoying was wondering if Shen Ruhui’s life might be Song Qianhang’s dream.

After entering the house and having a cup of warm tea, Liu Miaoying said softly, "I’ve thought it through carefully. Personally, you are my close friend, and I should stand by your side; publicly, you are more suitable than Prince Han, Prince Jing, and those of the Imperial Family."

Back in Xu State, with everything she saw, Liu Miaoying saw Ah Juan’s talent. Though hesitating these days, her mind was already made up.

Su Juan smiled, "With your words, I will not disappoint."

Liu Miaoying nodded, "I will do my best to persuade my father."

Su Juan: "Thank you."

Liu Miaoying suddenly recalled those days at Liu Mansion, what Ah Juan thought back then. Her character was such that she always complained after attending court sessions, preferring to sit than stand, and lie down than sit. She also thought, if she could sit on that dragon throne, she would gladly attend the court.

Back then, Liu Miaoying thought that with Ah Juan’s character, if she sat on that throne as Emperor, she wouldn’t assist...

Now, before Su Juan has even become Emperor, Liu Miaoying needs to take back her words.

Liu Miaoying: My face truly stings.

...

Later that night, Su Juan opened the system panel to check, finding that the progress bars of Yu Zhong, Liu Xuan, Liu Miaoying, Ping Bo Marquis, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Mo Youqian were already full, and even Song Qianhang was almost there.

Only Xie Xun’s was completely empty.

Su Juan rubbed her temples; everyone else had aspirations, but Xie Xun seemed only interested in drinking and having fun with no ambition whatsoever.

Just as she was thinking, Xie Xun’s voice came from outside.

"Little niece, your uncle has come to drink a couple of cups with you!"

Su Juan had no choice but to get up and open the door, seeing Xie Xun holding two jars of wine at the doorway, looking ready to drink heavily.

She raised an eyebrow, "Aren’t you afraid of getting punished?"

Xie Xun was unconcerned, "Last time when you invited people from the court to your home for drinks, none of us were punished."

Su Juan found it amusing, [You invited over twenty people, is the Old Emperor really going to punish over twenty people?]

The two sat in the yard, and it turned out the wine brought by Xie Xun was indeed good.

After two cups, Su Juan stared at Xie Xun.

Xie Xun was jittery under her gaze, "Why do you keep staring at me?"

Su Juan couldn’t help but ask, "You drink and have fun all day, haven’t you thought about doing something serious?"

Xie Xun: "?" Something serious?

Isn’t drinking something serious?

Su Juan rubbed her chin, "For example, becoming a high official or... with your skills, a guard chief?"

Xie Xun was silent for a moment, "Do you think these suit me?"

Su Juan: "..."

[They certainly don’t suit.]

[Guard chiefs need to be stable.]

Xie Xun silently: "..." I’m not stable?

He lifted the wine jug to his mouth, then sighed deeply, "Actually, thinking about it, I envy you guys, just me accomplishing nothing."

Su Juan also shook her head, [Aren’t you, though, accomplishing nothing.]

Xie Xun squinted, "Though accomplishing nothing has its perks—drinking, listening to music, and watching beautiful girls..."

[Nonsense!]

Xie Xun: "???"]
