Chapter 162 The young master has yet to favor me.
Xue Qianshan narrowed his eyes, looked at Su Changsheng, and smiled after a moment, "Perhaps I'm overthinking it..."
He vaguely realized that Su Changsheng didn't care about Su Luo at all, didn't care about Su Luo's life, and didn't care whether Su Luo had any skills or not...
However, he was very concerned that Su Luo might tarnish his reputation!
No matter what, Su Luo is Su Changsheng's son after all, even an illegitimate child is still a son!
If it's true that Su Luo caused all this trouble... what will become of Su Changsheng's reputation if word gets out?!
When the time comes, people won't say that Su Changsheng put family members first; they'll only say that Su Changsheng failed in his parenting, and that his own son has turned out to be this kind of person!
Therefore, whatever the truth about Su Luo may be, Su Luo absolutely cannot be the culprit...
At least that's how Su Changsheng sees it!
Xue Qianshan was a shrewd man; after a few brief words, he understood Su Changsheng's thoughts. He then changed the subject, looking at the First Madam of the Marquis's residence:
"Auntie, do you have any other documents? May I take a look?"
The First Madam immediately agreed, and then suggested going to the study to find some information for Xue Qianshan.
Xue Qianshan naturally agreed.
Su Changsheng naturally had no objections, but as he watched the two figures leave, especially Xue Qianshan's back, the look in that guy's eyes flashed through his mind...
"More than one person has told me that there's something wrong with that kid Su Luo. Could it be that I really misjudged him?"
Su Changsheng couldn't help but start to have doubts.
If only one or two people said that, he could still tell himself that these people were all crazy. What kind of trouble could a good-for-nothing illegitimate son cause?!
However, with so many people saying the same thing, he couldn't help but wonder if Su Luo was truly cunning and had been secretly stirring up trouble all along...
"No matter what, we'll find out once we send someone to check." Su Changsheng calmed himself down and immediately sent someone over after Xue Qianshan left.
A short, thin old man entered the room and bowed respectfully to him: "My lord, is there anything important that you summoned me here for?"
Su Changsheng said, "Short centipede, how long have I let you stay in this Marquis's residence?"
The short, thin old man pondered for a moment and said, "It has been six years."
"In these six years, I haven't mistreated you, have I?"
The old man, short-skinned centipede, immediately grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth: "Thanks to the Marquis's care, my lowly life has enjoyed several years of luxury..."
"If there is anything you wish to do for me, please just say the word, and I will have no objection."
Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng finally smiled. "Alright, I've heard you're a rare master in the martial arts world. I have something to ask you..."
He gesturing for the short centipede to come closer and whispering a few words to it.
The short centipede nodded repeatedly, then took his leave and went straight away from the Marquis's residence. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back and shake his head.
"These wealthy families are truly different. I've actually stumbled upon the fact that a father killed his son?"
He frowned and thought for a long time, "Su Luo, wasn't that kid just a fool back then? How could he have caused such a big storm..."
"I don't believe it, but since Marquis Sinan has asked me to do it, I have no choice but to give it a try, as a way of repaying a favor."
He headed towards Xiaoyun Village at breakneck speed; his seemingly ordinary steps blended into the crowd, yet they moved incredibly fast.
In just a few blinks of an eye, it seemed as if they had already moved dozens of meters away.
This is a true martial arts master.
The task he accepted from Si Nan Hou Su Changsheng was, on the one hand, to investigate whether there was anything strange about Su Luo.
On the other hand, regardless of whether there is any... kill Su Luo.
Don't let this guy tarnish Su Changsheng's reputation anymore.
……
It's already night.
The starlight and moonlight were dazzling, falling on the mountain village as if lighting up countless natural lamps.
It was already late at night, and the villagers were all fast asleep.
Su Luo tiptoed towards Si Mingyu's room without disturbing anyone.
A candle flickered in Si Mingyu's room; she was still awake, reading a book and sighing repeatedly.
knock knock!
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
Si Mingyu immediately got up and opened the door, a look of surprise flashing across her face: "Yes..."
But when she saw the figures standing in front of the door, her surprise vanished, replaced by calm: "It's you guys. What are you doing here instead of sleeping?!"
Standing in front of the door were Sheng Qingyue and Xue Wanrou.
Sheng Qingle looked embarrassed.
Xue Wanrou, meanwhile, was watching Si Mingyu's expression and chuckled, "Mingyu, are you unhappy to see us? You were laughing so happily just now, why are you unhappy now that you found out it's us?!"
"Oh, I see... they don't welcome us, right?"
Si Mingyu glared at the brat and said, "Don't say things like that, I just..."
Xue Wanrou quickly chimed in, "I understand. Sister Mingyu was just so happy because she thought we were young masters, but she was disappointed when she opened the door and found out we weren't..."
Her tone was teasing, as if she hadn't seen the shame and indignation in Si Mingyu's eyes at all, "What exactly are you doing here so late at night..."
Sheng Qingyue said timidly, "Sister Mingyu, yes, it was me who came to find you..."
Si Mingyu looked at her, still with a gentle and lovely appearance, and her tone softened considerably: "Xiao Qingle, is there something you need from me?"
Xue Wanrou protested, "Sister Mingyu, what do you mean by this? You're so nice to her, but so..."
Si Mingyu said irritably, "Don't learn from Delia. She used to be such a cute little girl, but now she's turned into... into the brat that the young master is talking about!"
Xue Wanrou was taken aback for a moment, then looked down and said, "Naughty kids? Just the older ones?"
"Young master actually made such a fuss about me..."
She seemed incredibly angry, gritting her teeth, "When the young master returns, I will definitely, I will definitely squeeze him dry..."
Si Mingyu's lips twitched.
Xue Wanrou is really... too bold.
She looked at Sheng Qingle, and seeing her hesitant expression, she immediately understood: "Little Qingle, you're worried... that the young master doesn't like you, right?"
Sheng Qingle, who had been hesitant to speak, felt a surge of emotion upon hearing these words and almost burst into tears.
“Sister Mingyu, look at you all, you’ve all already been favored by the young master…”
"I'm the only one who hasn't been favored by the young master yet... Does the young master not like me? Or is there something I haven't done well?"
