Zhou Jin was the first to arrive. Su Shi had just had lunch and was about to take a rest when Lin Mo ran over and said that Her Royal Highness the Princess had arrived and was waiting for him in the study.
Su Shi had no choice but to hold back his sleepiness and lazily walked towards the study.
As soon as he walked into the study, he saw Zhou Jin standing by the window with a sullen face, looking into the distance indifferently.
Su Shi found a chair and sat down comfortably, and said with a smile, "It seems that you are in a bad mood."
Zhou Jin didn't look back, still looking out the window, and said expressionlessly: "Huangfu Jie's hands and feet were interrupted."
Su Shi was startled. The body that was leaning on the back of the chair couldn't help but lean forward slightly and looked at Zhou Jin carefully.
Zhou Jin seemed to have known that he had such a reaction, and shook his head gently: "I didn't do it."
Su Shi was a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Huangfu Jie yours? Who else dares to touch him besides you?"
"Second Emperor Brother."
"Second Prince?" Su Shi was even more puzzled: "Why would he do this?"
Zhou Jin sighed: "Although Huangfu Jie is mine, he is also the person in charge of the flower shop. He colluded with Dongyuan Zhiku, causing the people in the flower shop to be harmed, thus damaging the reputation of the flower shop. , that’s why the Second Emperor punished him like this.”
After saying that, she walked to Su Shi and found a chair to sit down on, looking at him with deep eyes.
Su Shi's heart moved, and he suddenly felt confused about whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It turns out that this Huangfu Festival was called to me by the second prince."
"To the Second Emperor Brother, you are now his friend."
Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I still understand this truth. It's a pity that my relationship with his friend can't last long."
The room suddenly fell silent.
Zhou Jin put her hands on her knees, and her jade-like hands kept kneading each other. Her eyes kept wandering, and her cherry-like mouth purred several times, but she could not speak.
"Do you have something you want to say to me?"
Zhou Jin finally made up his mind and said slowly: "Have you ever thought about..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Shi sighed and said, "I thought about it. My elder brother mentioned this suggestion early this morning."
"what are you thinking?"
Su Shi looked a little regretful, and he said slowly: "This was originally a good suggestion, but it's a pity that it doesn't work, at least it doesn't work for me."
"Why?"
"My identity is destined to prevent me from making a choice." Su Zhou explained: "If I were an ordinary person, or the nephew of other princes and ministers, I could still choose. It's a pity that I am the second son of General Daqian's Mansion. Young Master, no matter what I do, I will represent the General’s Mansion, and you should know the reason behind it.”
After finishing speaking, he thought again and added: "And His Majesty will not allow me to make a choice."
In fact, Zhou Jin understood what Su Shi said, but she still couldn't bear to watch Su Shi face such a terrifying opponent. And even if Su Shi wins, his ending may be even more tragic than if he loses.
But he had to win.
In the end, Su Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Now I just hope that the emperor who ascends the throne in the future will be a wise king."
At this time, Zhou Jin's face turned as dark as ink again, which made Su Shi feel frightened. His brows were as dense as mountains, and his hands kept tapping the armrests like strumming strings.
Suddenly he retracted his fingers and looked at Zhou Jin with a deep look, and a bold idea came to his heart.
The boldness and bizarreness of this idea caused his heartbeat to speed up involuntarily, so much so that he had to slow down his breathing, his brain rotate rapidly, and he kept calculating his success rate.
Gradually, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and this smile happened to be seen by Zhou Jin.
"what are you laughing at?"
"Because I thought of something interesting."
Zhou Jin asked curiously: "What is so interesting?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "It's not the time to tell you now, but I will definitely tell you in the future."
Zhou Jin tilted his head and thought for a while, but finally had no choice but to give up. Because she had never been able to see through Su Shi, she naturally couldn't see through his thoughts either.
But when she saw that Su Shi was still joking, she understood that he had figured something out.
Seeing Su Shi's relaxed and happy expression, Zhou Jin slowly relaxed.
At this time, a heroic voice sounded in the courtyard: "Brother Su, I'm impatient, so I came to the house early. Don't be surprised."
Zhou Jin had never heard this voice before, and this voice seemed very familiar to Su Shi, so he couldn't help but ask with his eyes.
Su Shi chuckled and said, "My sponsor is here."
"Investor?"
Su Shi nodded, then stood up and went out to greet him. He walked to the door and said with a smile, "Mr. Chang is an honored guest. I can't even welcome you, so how can you be surprised?"
As he said that, he glared at Lin Mo and scolded: "Mr. Chang is coming, why don't you let him know so that I can go out and greet him personally."
Lin Mo naturally didn't take his words to heart, because Su Shi didn't even think of going out to greet Her Highness the Princess when she arrived, and the Princess seemed to treat this place as her own home.
Chang Muhua said hurriedly: "Brother Su, don't blame the nurse, it's just me who is impatient."
Su Shi smiled and said, "Sir, I am an old friend of Qin Shibo. I really don't dare to call me brother."
Chang Muhua sighed: "With Brother Su's talent in business, he can even be a teacher. When I call him brother, I still take advantage."
Su Shi was not polite at this time and said: "Since we hit it off, we don't have to worry about the red tape. If you call me brother, then I will call you big brother."
Chang Muhua laughed loudly: "That's exactly what it should be."
After the laughter, Su Shi said: "Brother Chang, please come into the study to talk."
Chang Muhua followed Su Shi into the study and was slightly startled when he saw a girl with noble temperament and extraordinary appearance sitting in the study.
Su Shi hurriedly introduced: "This is Her Royal Highness the Third Princess of Daqian."
Chang Muhua was wondering why the Third Princess showed up at the General's Mansion. Su Shi whispered in his ear: "The Third Princess will also do business with us."
Chang Muhua was surprised and happy at the same time. He really didn't expect that Su Shi would give him such a big surprise.
He was about to give him a big gift when Zhou Jin said: "Now that it is an informal occasion, Mr. Chang does not need to be polite."
Upon hearing this, Chang Muhua hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Chang Muhua has met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Zhou Jin nodded slightly: "Since Mr. Chang is Su Shi's friend, please sit down and talk."
Chang Muhua said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
Then he found a chair opposite Su Shi and sat down. He couldn't help but look at Su Shi in surprise.
He became more and more curious about Su Shi, and Su Shi became increasingly confusing to him.
Originally, he thought that Su Shi's biggest reliance was His Majesty's gift, but he didn't expect that he could actually bring in the princess of Daqian to do business together.
