Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Tear the TicketThe tea stall quieted down. Su Yang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued eating his sugar figurine. Chu Shun walked over to Su Chong, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Good brother, though we can’t understand your despair, thank you for making us feel that life is beautiful." Su Chong, "..." "Your mother is right, you have to live strongly," the Heir of Marquis Beining came over and patted Su Chong on the shoulder. "..." "Once you get over this insignificant hill of your father, your life will be nothing but a smooth road," the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion comforted. "..." "Your father’s little hill moved from Qingyun Mountain to the capital, and there are a bunch of people who can’t get over it. Thinking this way, does it make you feel better?" Prince NanAn said. "..." Xingxing couldn’t help but say, "If the Marquis knew that the eldest young master and the young master are talking bad about him behind his back, he would definitely beat you until you can’t get up and not give you food." Su Chong coughed lightly. He couldn’t control himself for a moment. Su Yang pouted, indifferent, "As if not talking bad about father would stop him from hitting us when we get back." Xingxing, "..." Xingxing looked towards Su Jin. I can’t handle the young master’s words anymore. Su Jin rubbed her forehead, looked at the sky, and said, "The hour is not early, it’s time to go back to the Marquis Mansion for lunch." "Can we eat outside?" Su Yang looked at Su Jin and asked. "Mother has cooked food waiting for us," Su Jin said. "We eat mother’s cooking every day, we’re already tired of it. Besides, mother’s cooking isn’t that delicious," Su Yang said. "..." Su Jin softened, "Alright then, I’ll treat you." To avoid making Mrs. Tang wait for them, Su Jin had a Hidden Guard inform the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion. The Drunken Immortal Pavilion wasn’t far, and the group went there, getting the largest private room. Watching their group go upstairs, the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion silently counted in his mind: three bandits, one female bandit son-in-law, four big followers, plus one bandit maid, how would they settle the bill later... There were many people, so they ordered twenty dishes and six jars of Daughter’s Red wine. Once all the dishes arrived, the Hidden Guard returned. Su Jin asked, "Did my mother say anything?" The Hidden Guard’s mouth twitched, "Madam said she figured you wouldn’t return to eat, so she didn’t cook." Su Jin, "..." After a pause, the Hidden Guard continued, "Additionally, Madam reminded that when eating, if the young master needs to use the restroom, remember to send someone along to prevent him from sneaking away." The young master Su’s face turned red, "Who would sneak away?! My mother is judging me by her petty heart!" "What heart and what stomach?" Su Chong asked. "Step-mother’s heart, biological son’s stomach!" Su Yang shouted with a stiff neck. Chu Shun and others’ shoulders shook violently. Looks like this meal wouldn’t be peaceful. They became so hungry from laughing before even eating enough. Seems that even if they got over the small mound of Dongxiang Marquis, they’d still face the vast chasm of Dongxiang Marquis’s wife. Su Yang poked at his bowl of rice, feeling depressed and completely losing his appetite. What a perfect plan it was, taking advantage of a restroom excuse to play wherever he wanted, it was rare for his father not to be around, he could have flown freely, but just when he started fluttering, his mother smacked him down with a bamboo pole. Now sitting is actually worse than lying down, no one else is as cruel as his mother, what’s wrong with sneaking out to play a bit. The young master Su glanced around, wondering what his chances were if he forced his way out. Finally, he sulked with his little face down, not saying a word. At this moment, voices came from outside the door, "The Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion is in this room." Su Chong looked towards the door, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Is there actually someone looking for me?" Just as he was about to stand up, there was a bang. The door was kicked open. Su Chong, "..." Two young men stood at the door, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with handsome features. Su Chong stood up, looking at the cracked door, and said, "Daring to kick my door, you’ve got guts, state your names!" The two young men said nothing, as Chu Shun walked over and said, "These are the second and third young masters of the Jibei Marquis Mansion." "Jibei Marquis Mansion?" Su Chong’s eyes carried an assessing look. Earlier on the street, he intended to see what kind of outstanding figures caught his father’s eye, but didn’t expect them to come to him so soon. Xingxing also walked over. Even the appetite-lost Su Yang gathered around. If it weren’t for their own sister (younger sister) being disobedient, one of these two would be their brother-in-law (younger brother-in-law). With such a subtle connection, how could they not get to know them properly? The group examined them from head to toe, then from toe to head. With their scrutinizing expressions, the two young masters of the Jibei Marquis Mansion turned red-faced. They just kicked the door, what’s with this attitude?! Such disdain, they are being too dismissive of them, right?! "They seem pretty good," Su Yang said. "Come, let’s talk while sitting down," Su Chong smiled. "..." Before the second and third young masters of the Jibei Marquis Mansion knew it, they were pressed into chairs by Su Chong. The little assistant at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was a bit puzzled. "Bring two more sets of bowls and chopsticks," Su Chong shouted. "..." Very quickly, the assistant brought two sets of bowls and chopsticks, placing them in front of the second and third young masters of the Jibei Marquis Mansion. Chu Shun and Prince NanAn exchanged glances. With Su Chong’s temper, such an obvious provocation of kicking the door, now he’s actually treating it so kindly, did the sun rise from the west? Or was he letting them eat before starting a fight? Su Chong said, "Let’s eat, we’ll talk while eating." Su Yang looked at them and asked, "Are you planning to capture my big brother to save your grandfather?" The two young masters of the Jibei Marquis Mansion didn’t speak, which was equivalent to acknowledgment. Su Yang looked at Su Chong and said, "Big brother, don’t resist, take the chance to see your standing in father’s heart." Su Chong rolled his eyes, "With the weight I carry in father’s heart, it wouldn’t be enough for father to order them to tear up the ticket." Su Jin covered her forehead. Xie Jingchen was speechless. Chu Shun and the others wanted to laugh but couldn’t, holding it in painfully. Su Chong looked at the second and third young masters of the Jibei Marquis Mansion, patted their shoulders, and said, "Don’t worry, if my father wanted to do anything to your grandfather, the Marquis Jibei, he wouldn’t even have the chance to become the Chief Grain Transport Officer." "Right now, your grandfather, the Marquis Jibei, is the Chief Grain Transport Officer, appointed by the Emperor. He must escort the grain and grass to the border; leaving his post without permission, if the grain and grass were lost, he’d be guilty beyond forgiveness." "Now, if you capture me to force my father to release your grandfather, even if he released him, he would still have to continue following the grain and grass. Why go through such a large detour?" "..." The two young masters of the Jibei Marquis Mansion were flushed with embarrassment. Not denying it, there was some truth in what he said. However, all the people around Grandfather were sent back, who knows how Dongxiang Marquis is suppressing them. Su Chong patted their shoulders and said, "Did you hear about Duke Chong sending Iron Cavalry to chase my father, and in the end, 500 horses got robbed?" Not understanding why Su Chong asked this, but the second young master of the Jibei Marquis Mansion still nodded and said truthfully, "I’ve heard about it." "Good to know you’ve heard about it. Later, settle the bill for this meal," Su Chong suddenly shifted the topic. "..."
