Wuweizhai is not the property of King An. He only enjoys the right to dividends, and the actual management and control is still in the hands of Su Lingyu.
Even so, after King An's incident, Wuweizhai was still in trouble twice.
All this has nothing to do with Su Yu in the backyard.
But today was different. While eating at noon, Su Yu noticed that the task progress bar, which was originally steady and almost motionless, suddenly jumped up. She was so scared that she couldn't even hold the chicken legs.
After asking the system, sure enough, the male protagonist had finished taking care of the villains and returned to the palace.
So, the male protagonist already knows that she ran away?
If this trick works, then she has to hide it better. The less the hero can find her, the angrier he will be, and the faster the task progress bar will increase.
When the time comes, she will be able to complete the task without doing anything hehehe.
Su Yu's beautiful thoughts continued until the afternoon.
Seeing Wuweizhai surrounded by heavy soldiers, Su Yu couldn't help but feel her legs weaken. She ran back to the backyard and hid without even thinking about it. She took Su Lingyu's hand and begged pleadingly: "Sister Lingyu, please help me."
Su Lingyu was also confused: "What is going on?"
Su Yu wiped her tears: "Zhao Ce must be here to catch me. He will definitely cut me into pieces after he catches me. Sister Lingyu, I don't want to die. Please help me and don't hand me over." "
Su Lingyu: "You... please make it clear."
Su Yu cried harder and explained the matter as simply as possible: "That's the thing. I'm not Zhao Ce's savior. I lied to him. Now that he has found out the truth and found out that I ran away secretly, he must be very angry." .”
I see.
Su Lingyu finally knew the truth about the life-saving grace, and couldn't help but ask what she had been hiding in her heart: "Why did you do that in the first place?"
Su Yu regretted it: "I...I think he is good-looking."
Su Lingyu was stunned: "Ah?"
That's it? Just because a man is good-looking, you have to pretend to be your savior and follow him. It sounds a bit magical. Sure enough, the love brain knows no age, no race, no dynasty.
Su Yu weakly added: "And he still has money."
Su Lingyu's face looks better, this love brain can still be saved.
The commotion outside became louder and louder, and Su Yu trembled: "If you don't talk about this, he must have broken in. Sister Lingyu, you must help me, for the sake of the one hundred taels of silver." You must also help me and don’t hand me over. After the matter is completed, I can give you the remaining one hundred taels of silver."
In Su Lingyu's uncertain tone, Su Yu ran back to the room and hid.
"this……"
Su Lingyu couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, if I had known today, why would I do it in the first place?"
She tidied up her appearance and walked to the front lobby.
The guests had long since been scared away, and there were only the handsome and imposing man whom I had seen last time and a group of royal guards in the lobby.
In fact, there were imperial guards from the capital allocated to Zhao Ce by the prince out of humanitarianism to pursue his wife, but they were all guarding outside.
A sword swung across Su Lingyu's neck.
Zhao Ce said coldly: "Where is Su Yu?"
The blade of the sword glowed with a deep cold light, a gust of wind blew by, and the hair lightly brushed against the blade and broke.
Su Lingyu swallowed her saliva and quietly took a step back, her sword also approaching an inch closer.
As a person who has traveled through time in peacetime, Su Lingyu prides herself on being knowledgeable, but she still can't help but feel frightened when faced with ancient dignitaries who do not regard human life as their fate.
Thinking of the pitiful little girl begging her, Su Lingyu swallowed again: "I don't know who you are talking about."
Zhao Ce raised his thin red lips and sneered: "I don't know whether I really don't know or I don't know, you know best in your heart. I tell you, today, either hand over the person quickly or——"
Zhao Ce's voice was cold: "I will crush your Wuweizhai!"
The blade moved further forward, almost touching Su Lingyu's neck. She had no doubt that her delicate neck would bleed if she moved even slightly.
Su Lingyu's voice trembled: "You can't touch me."
Zhao Ce raised his eyebrows and quietly moved the sword blade half an inch outward.
Su Lingyu seized the opportunity and said quickly: "I am your savior. In Sujia Village, I was the one who saved you. When you were seriously injured, I gave you medicine, and later I went to the hospital in the town to buy medicine for your injuries. I will bandage you and go to the mountain to see you every day. The food in the cave was all left by me. If it weren’t for me, you would have died long ago, so you can’t kill me.”
After speaking in one breath, Su Lingyu took a deep breath.
Although she didn't see him for several days because she had to do business, she did take care of him seriously for a few days at first. No matter what, the life-saving grace was real and he couldn't deny it.
Zhao Ce didn't want to deny it: "I know."
Su Lingyu was stunned.
Zhao Ce's eyes were stern: "But so what? I just don't want to recognize you as my savior. What can you do?"
Su Lingyu: "..." She is blind.
The backyard of Wuweizhai is adjacent to the kitchen. It can be reached through two small doors. The yard is kept very clean and a small pond is opened to raise koi carp in a very leisurely manner, because Su Lingyu heard that koi carp attracts wealth.
Unfortunately, no one was in the mood to enjoy the view of the backyard at this time.
Su Lingyu said with a dull face: "This is it. Prince, please go in and find her."
Not long after, Su Yu was pulled out by the arm. She looked at Su Lingyu with a look of accusation in her eyes.
Su Lingyu looked away with a wooden face.
"The people have been found. Can the prince let those people leave now? We are open for business. If you make such a fuss, who will dare to come to my place to eat in the future?"
Zhao Ce waved the guards away and said generously: "The loss of Wuweizhai today will be borne by the palace."
"If someone causes trouble in the future, please report the king's name to him."
Zhao Ce is not that indifferent to right and wrong. He is a savior after all. He doesn't mind helping out within his ability.
Su Lingyu twitched her lips: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
I don’t know who just put a sword against her neck and said that she wanted to destroy Wuweizhai.
Su Yu was like a quail throughout the whole process, with her head shrunk to reduce her presence, and her wrists were imprisoned in the man's hands. There was no hope of escaping and she could only wait for death.
The good news is that the task progress bar is finally full!
Just now, Zhao Ce broke into the house and saw her climbing out of the window with one leg already out.
[Congratulations to the taskmaster Su Yu, System No. 233. This task was a complete success. Points will be settled after leaving the task world. 】
Su Yu was overjoyed at first, then felt the air pressure in the room suddenly drop. She turned around tremblingly and met Zhao Ce's dark eyes, which were calm but brewing a storm.
嘤～
Su Lingyu: "My lord, walk slowly."
"Wait." Su Yu plucked up the courage to pull her arm back without moving it, and received a look that contained a warning.
Su Yu shrank her neck: "I, I heard it just now, she is your real savior."
The backyard is so far away from the front lobby. In order to get rid of the male protagonist, Su Yu lied without batting an eye.
Her voice trembled: "If you want to take her, take her away. Can you let me go?"
With such an evasive attitude, Zhao Ce felt as if someone had punched him in the heart, causing him a dull pain.
Staring at Su Yu's evasive eyes, he closed his eyes and said coldly: "I will not arrest the savior today, only the liar."
