Ministers Begging Me to Ascend the Throne-Chapter 160 - 138: What Exactly Is the Identity of the Middle-Aged Man?
Chapter 160: Chapter 138: What Exactly Is the Identity of the Middle-Aged Man?
Although Zhao Yao chatted with the middle-aged man for a while longer, he remembered that his four little brothers were still waiting outside, so he had to take his leave.
"Uncle, I won’t be able to see you tomorrow because I have something to do, but I’ll be free the day after tomorrow. Can I come to find you then?" Although the uncle seemed a bit cold, for some reason, Zhao Yao felt a sense of warmth from him.
"Sure."
"Alright, I’ll come to see you the day after tomorrow." Zhao Yao gave a junior’s courtesy bow to the middle-aged man. "Uncle, I’ll be going now."
The middle-aged man did not speak, only nodded slightly.
As Zhao Yao left, he kept looking back, waving to the middle-aged man.
Not long after Zhao Yao left, the expression on the middle-aged man’s face instantly turned icy. He suddenly spoke, "What does he mean?"
There was no one around the middle-aged man, so it seemed like he was talking to the air. However, a moment later, someone appeared in front of him.
This person was dressed in a black night outfit, wrapped tightly from head to toe, only exposing their eyes. It was very strange to wear such an outfit in broad daylight.
"No."
"No?" The middle-aged man sneered, "Wasn’t that brat just now his son?" novelbuddy-cσ๓
"Yes, but the Emperor did not arrange for the Tenth Prince to approach you." The man in the night attire did not hide the matter of Zhao Yao from the middle-aged man. Given the middle-aged man’s intelligence, he had long guessed Zhao Yao’s identity. "What the Tenth Prince said to you before was true; he came on his own."
"Is that so?" The middle-aged man’s tone was clearly disbelieving.
"The Emperor only learned that the Tenth Prince entered the estate to see you just now," the man in the night attire said. "If you don’t like the Tenth Prince, we can stop him from entering the day after tomorrow."
"Do you dare?" The middle-aged man’s tone was full of ridicule.
"The Emperor said, if you don’t wish to be disturbed, then no one will disturb you," the man in the night attire said respectfully.
"No arrangement?" The middle-aged man said mockingly, "His youngest son happens to have a dimple on the left side of his mouth, just like Prince Yi Yong."
The man in the night attire said nothing.
"Why isn’t his youngest son in the palace?"
"The Tenth Prince is on leave; the Emperor especially allowed him a few more days off," the man in the night attire said. "The Tenth Prince was in Dahua Village outside the capital a few days ago and returned to the capital yesterday."
The middle-aged man laughed condescendingly, "It’s amusing that his youngest son resembles Prince Yi Yong!"
The man in the night attire said, "Prince Yi Yong is the Tenth Prince’s uncle, and it’s normal for a nephew to resemble his uncle."
The middle-aged man seemed to get incensed by this remark, his eyes suddenly turning angry and dark as he said coldly, "Is he worthy?" [He] refers not to Zhao Yao but to the Emperor.
The man in the night attire remained expressionless in the face of the middle-aged man’s wrath.
"Worthiness is not for you to decide."
The middle-aged man roared at the man in the night attire, "Get out!"
The man in the night attire instantly disappeared from the middle-aged man’s sight.
The middle-aged man’s hands, placed on the wheelchair’s armrests, clenched into fists, the veins on the backs of his hands protruding.
At this moment, he exuded a terrifying aura.
As soon as Zhao Yao exited the estate, his little brothers surrounded him.
"Boss, are you okay?"
"Boss, did the master of this house do anything to you?"
"Boss, why did it take so long for you to come out? If you hadn’t come out any longer, we would have rushed in."
"Boss, were you bullied inside?"
Seeing the concern in his little brothers’ eyes and hearing their worried words, Zhao Yao felt touched. He reassured them with a smile, "It’s fine, I wasn’t hurt or bullied by the house’s owner."
"Boss, what did you talk about with the owner? Why did it take so long for you to come out?"
"Boss, what’s the identity of the owner of this house?"
"Boss, was the owner of this house really a soldier before?"
The little brothers asked Zhao Yao questions one after another out of curiosity.
"Uncle doesn’t like noise. Let’s leave first and talk." Zhao Yao led his little brothers and Tong Xi away from the entrance of the estate, not stopping until they exited the bamboo forest.
"Boss, who exactly is the owner of this house? So mysterious and strange?"
Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "I don’t know. I asked him, but he never told me, not even his surname."
"Wow, he didn’t even tell you his surname, then what did you talk about for so long inside?"
"I just talked to him about delicious foods from different places and entertaining things I’ve encountered," Zhao Yao said, "He mostly just listened and didn’t say much himself."
