450 Only Lord Su Can Save You (Part 2)
Liu Sanniang said faintly, “I’m here to ask for a favor.”
When Su Yanyu heard Liu Sanniang had something to ask of him, his eyes lit up. He couldn’t stop smiling. “Miss Liu, if you have anything you want me to do, I will definitely try my best. Just tell me.”
Now, he was confident that Liu Sanniang was the most capable person he’d ever seen. According to Mu Cong’s account of that day, something must have happened between Hui Zhen and Liu Sanniang after they fainted, which caused Suzhai Pavilion to distribute free food to people around.
Initially, he was wondering if Liu Sanniang was seriously injured, but he didn’t hear any news about it. Now that Liu Sanniang was standing in front of him with a calm expression, looking perfectly unharmed, he was even more impressed.
Moreover, there seemed to be a golden halo around Liu Sanniang, which gravitated him towards her uncontrollably, as if he could be blessed by the Buddha’s light if he got closer to her.
However, when he walked closer, he felt Chu Yan’s piercing gaze fixating on him and subconsciously stepped away.
He wasn’t someone he could afford to offend.
When they arrived at the main hall, Su Yanyu immediately asked Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan to take a seat. Mu Kun and Mu Cong also sat down, while Su Yanyu sat at the head of the table.
He ordered his people. “Quick, go take a look and see if the tea is ready.”
The maidservant serving in the main hall nodded and replied respectfully. “Yes, I’ll go take a look now.”
Su Yanyu said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, you have to try this tea. This is called Sparrow Tongue Tea from Luzhou. It’s made with the most tender tea leaf and is especially fragrant. They only produce less than 50 kilograms a year. It’s a tribute tea to the emperor.”
When the tea was sent to the palace, nobles, generals, and ministers above the second rank would be rewarded with some.
This kind of good tea was used to entertain distinguished guests. Su Yanyu didn’t know if Liu Sanniang knew anything about tea. If she didn’t, then it would be no different from drinking plain water. He told her about how rare the tea was in advance just to let Liu Sanniang understand that he was treating her as a distinguished guest.
Liu Sanniang said, “Thank you, Your Lordship.”
Su Yanyu smiled. “It’s my honor.”
Liu Sanniang was a capable psychic and should be received with the utmost cordiality. He had seen many people, but none of them were as composed as Liu Sanniang. It was as if even the emperor was here, she would remain the same.
Su Yanyu smiled and asked. “Miss Liu, why are you looking for me?”
Mu Kun was still in shock. He did not expect Su Yanyu to think so highly of Liu Sanniang. He actually treated her with tribute tea and tried to curry favor with her. In contrast, his fifty taels of silver was simply a joke.
When he suddenly heard Su Yanyu’s question, Mu Kun came back to his senses and hurriedly pulled Mu Cong to kneel down. “Lord Su, please save my son’s life.”
Mu Cong also lowered his head. “Lord Su, please save me.”
Su Yanyu was a little stunned. “What’s going on? Didn’t I point out a way for you already?”
He had already told Mu Cong that if he wanted someone to save him, he should look for Miss Liu. Why was Mu Cong begging him?
Mu Cong looked at Liu Sanniang and then at Su Yanyu. He explained the situation word by word. This concerned his life, so he naturally would not take it lightly.
Su Yanyu listened and frowned. After listening, he said, “How should I save you?”
Mu Cong looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu said you are the only one who can save me.”
Su Yanyu looked at Liu Sanniang pensively. So this was what Liu Sanniang meant by having something to ask of him. He would definitely help Liu Sanniang if he could just so that she would owe him a favor.
In this world, debt of gratitude was the most difficult to repay.
Su Yanyu quickly had a plan. He smiled at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, please tell me in detail. Mu Cong and I are good friends. If I can save him, I naturally won’t leave him in the lurch.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Su Yanyu and said, “I hope that you can expose the dark side of Suzhai Pavilion to the world. I hope that you can blow this matter up in the capital and get the Xuanyi department involved.”
Wei Shilai was in charge of the Xuanyi department, and Liu Sanniang was a master recruited by Wei Laishi. If the Xuanyi department could interrogate Hui Zhen, Liu Sanniang would have a chance to expose Hui Zhen.
The corners of Su Yanyu’s mouth twitched. “Well…”
Su Yanyu looked at Liu Sanniang. Worried that she would misunderstand that he did not want to help, he explained. “Miss Liu, it’s not that I’m afraid of death, but I’m my father’s only son. I don’t have any children yet…”
If he challenged Hui Zhen openly, would she kill him in a fit of anger?
This was his only life, and nothing was more precious than it.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “You will be fine. Hui Zhen doesn’t dare to harm you. We have to choose the right time to do it. As long as the timing is right, she won’t have a chance to make a move.”
Su Yanyu became excited when he heard that. “As long as my life is not in danger, count me in. I’m the best at kicking up a fuss. Miss Liu, just tell me what you want me to do. I’ll definitely try my best.”
Su Yanyu looked at Mu Cong. “Mu Cong has followed me for so many years, so I have to save him. After all, not everyone can be Mu Cong. He is irreplaceable.”
Mu Kun was a little shocked. He looked at Mu Cong and hurriedly kowtowed to Su Yanyu to thank him. “Cong, hurry up and thank Lord Su.”
Mu Cong was also shocked. He did not expect Su Yanyu to say that he was irreplaceable.
Mu Cong revealed a grateful expression. “Thank you, Lord Su. In the future, I will be at your beck and call. I will do anything for you!”
He was not a powerful person and would never surpass Su Yanyu’s status in his life. However, under Su Yanyu’s protection, his life would definitely continue to be better. In return, he had to be loyal to Su Yanyu.
Su Yanyu waved his hand casually. “Alright, alright. Cut this crap.”
Su Yanyu looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, tell me, when is the best time? I’m also angry with Suzhai Pavilion for serving me disgusting food. Hui Zhen, that old witch, must be up to no good. Recently, she has been distributing free food to all the rich and powerful people. If I didn’t know the truth, I would have eaten it as well.”
