Chapter 589: Chapter 540, Value_1
During the time that Xiao Yeyang took Yan Wenkai and Wentao to the Su Residence, the Su Family’s elderly patriarch and the third elder were playing chess and chatting in the study.
“Father, sending Hongxin to accompany the Little Prince as his study mate was initially because he was the next Prince, but now that the Ma Family’s son has been legitimized and the Little Prince is far from Beijing with a mother who dares to divorce the Imperial Family, I’m afraid he won’t be able to compete for the title.”
The Su Family patriarch calmly placed a piece on the board, then finally raised his eyes to look at his son, “What are you trying to say?”
Feeling the pressure from his father’s gaze, the third elder was nervous but for the sake of his son’s future, steeled himself and said, “Continuing to follow the Little Prince is no longer beneficial, and since he established the Glass Factory, he hardly goes to the barracks at Ningmen Pass. He spends all day with the Yan brothers, and one wonders what they are doing. So, I do not wish for Hongxin to go to the barracks anymore.”
The Su Family patriarch looked at the chessboard, “If not the barracks, then what do you plan for Hongxin to do?”
The third elder shook his head, “Hongxin does not enjoy reading, and his future worries me.”
The Su Family patriarch glanced at him dispassionately, “You haven’t thought of anything, yet you want to keep him at home. Are you preparing to raise an idle scion?”
The third elder was silent; then, after a while, he said, “But Father, there’s no use for Hongxin to stay in the barracks anymore, don’t let that ruin the child.”
The Su Family patriarch frowned and pondered, “Leaving the barracks means completely abandoning the Little Prince’s ship.”
The third elder was silent for a while before replying, “If it’s abandoned, then it’s abandoned.”
The Su Family patriarch frowned, “Are you sure? Don’t forget why we sent Hongxin there in the first place.”
The third elder replied, “I haven’t forgotten, at first it was because Hongxin loved martial arts and since our Su Family has always followed the path of the imperial examinations, we didn’t have any connections in martial arts. The Little Prince had the backing of the Guo Family, and following him offered broader prospects. But now the Guo Family has offended the Empress Dowager, and the Little Prince himself has a myriad of troubles, how can he take care of those around him?”
The Su Family patriarch did not entirely agree, “Don’t speak so absolutely.”
The third elder replied, “Yes, while it’s still unknown who will ultimately inherit the Prince Residence title, that could take many years, can I really make Hongxin just wait indefinitely?”
“If it comes to it, I’ll try harder to have Hongxin sent to the Commander’s Office. With that boy’s martial arts skills, and with our family’s support from time to time, he can still carve out a path for himself.”
The Su Family patriarch didn’t express agreement or disagreement, but instead asked, “I heard Yuanxuan has already begun to assist his father with some matters?”
The third elder nodded.
The Su Family patriarch continued, “But I’ve also heard that he still goes to the barracks?”
The third elder replied, “Not as often, just a couple of times a month.”
The Su Family patriarch’s gaze grew deep, “Dong Jiancheng also has only one legitimate son, but he would rather let his son travel back and forth than sever connections with the Little Prince.”
At this point, the elder stopped talking and continued to focus on the chessboard.
The third elder was taken aback for a moment, then fell into deep thought.
The Su Family patriarch sighed, “It’s always easier to add flowers to the brocade, but much harder to send charcoal in the snow. I understand your concerns about Hongxin’s future, but… Now that the Little Prince is somewhat disadvantaged because the Ma Family has been elevated, abandoning him now would seem quite unsightly. If the Little Prince remains unremarkable, that’s one thing, but what if he rises to prominence again, what then?”
The third elder fell silent.
Just then, a servant came in to report, “Elder Patriarch, Third Elder, the Little Prince has arrived with Third Master Yan and Fourth Master Yan, and Seventh Master has already gone to receive them.”
Hearing this, the Su Family patriarch and the third elder exchanged puzzled glances.
The Su Family patriarch smiled, “Speak of the devil and he shall appear, let’s go and receive them as well.”
…
At the entrance of the Su Residence, Xiao Yeyang saw the deeply troubled look on Yan Wenkai’s face and said with dissatisfaction, “Remember your status, don’t embarrass me, be alert.”
Wentao, who had been hurriedly called over, still had no idea what was happening and nudged Yan Wenkai with his elbow, whispering, “What’s the matter? We were fine just now, why did we suddenly come to the Su Family?”
Yan Wenkai shook his head and said nothing.
At that moment, Su Hongxin, who had received the news, ran out smiling, “Why have you come without giving us any prior notice? What if I was not at home?”
Yan Wenkai glanced at Su Hongxin, who came running to greet them with buoyant excitement, and not knowing how to respond, he simply turned his head away.
Yan Wentao, unaware of what was going on, kept his mouth shut and remained silent.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Su Hongxin with a smile, “Are your grandfather and father in?”
Su Hongxin, a little puzzled by their reactions, nodded with a smile: “Yes, they are here; my father has a day off today.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded, “That’s perfect, please lead us to pay our respects to them,” he said, and then turned his head toward Yan Wenkai, patting his shoulder, “Whether you achieve what you desire depends on how much value you can demonstrate this time.”
Yan Wenkai’s expression changed, looking at Xiao Yeyang with surprise.
They weren’t here to investigate the Su Family’s offenses?
Xiao Yeyang, ignoring the wide-eyed Yan Wenkai, turned and followed Su Hongxin through the gates of the Su residence.
Yan Wenkai’s tense mood relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face as he quickly followed after them.
Just as they passed through the ceremonial gate, they saw the elder master Su and Su third master approaching with smiles.
As soon as he saw them, the elder master Su came forward with a smiling bow, “Little Prince gracing our humble abode is an honor; I apologize for not greeting you from afar.”
Xiao Yeyang returned the gesture with a smile, “Elder Master Su is too kind.”
Immediately, Su third master gestured invitingly with his hand, “Little Prince, please, let’s proceed to the sitting room.”
Xiao Yeyang stood still and smilingly turned to elder master Su: “I have long heard of the extensive collection of books in the Su Family’s study and never had a chance to see for myself. May I inquire if the elder master Su would be willing to indulge us with a tour?”
At those words, Su third master’s face changed abruptly, and he quickly glared at elder master Su.
The study is usually where important matters are discussed; unless the host invites someone, it is rare for someone to make such an impolite request.
Elder master Su was also puzzled, but his face did not betray his thoughts, and he replied with a smile, “It is not every day that Little Prince shows such interest; please follow me.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Yan Wenkai and followed elder master Su with a smile.
After arriving in the study, elder master Su led everyone to take a seat.
Once the young servant had served the tea, Xiao Yeyang cast a cursory glance at the servants who remained in the room, then began to enjoy the tea as if nothing else mattered.
Elder master Su caught on immediately and waved his hand, signaling the servants to leave.
With all the servants gone, Xiao Yeyang continued to savor his tea, showing no sign of initiating any conversation.
Elder master Su was now truly perplexed.
Just as Su Hongxin began to make small talk in an effort to liven up the atmosphere, Xiao Yeyang gestured and shook his robe, revealing the token of the Jinling Guard Investigator at his waist.
Elder master Su’s gaze naturally landed in that direction, and he noticed the token instantly.
The moment he saw the token, elder master Su’s heart shook and his smile stiffened. After a brief silence, he addressed Su Hongxin, “Hongxin, I have run out of tea; there is a box of fine Longjing in your grandmother’s room, go fetch it for me, will you?”
Su Hongxin was stunned for a moment, glancing around at the others in the room. Realizing his grandfather’s intention to send him away, he said “Oh,” stood up, threw a look at Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao, and then left the room.
Su third master didn’t understand why his father wanted to send his son away and was about to say something when he saw the tokens worn at the waists of both Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao as they stood up to send Su Hongxin off.
