Shengjing Noble

Chapter 426 The person you like

The reason why she was so scared, even at the cost of ruining her own brother's reputation, was because she wanted to save Su Shengyan.

If I remember correctly, in his previous life, Chu Yan died of snake venom. Logically, the Chu family should have conducted a thorough investigation, but they took the body away and buried it hastily.

Now that I think about it, she was probably worried that Chu Yan’s female identity would be discovered, so everything would fit in.

In the end, the title of martial arts champion naturally fell to An Shiqing.

But this brat didn't have a good ending.

There is war on the border right now, and in order to appease the tribe, the emperor intends to send the third princess to marry.

However, the third princess had been spoiled by him and the queen since she was a child, and she had a hot-tempered and unruly temper. She would rather hang herself than obey the emperor's will and marry.

In the end, there was no choice but to find a suitable consort for the third princess before the tribe asked for her hand in marriage.

Then Wu Zhuangyuan becomes the most suitable candidate at the moment.

In his previous life, An Shiqing was tortured to the point of being completely exhausted by the Third Princess. Not only was he cuckolded countless times, but he also had to tolerate her keeping dozens of male lovers at home.

He once reported this matter to the Emperor, but instead of being comforted, he was severely scolded and accused of being incompetent and unable to control the Third Princess's heart.

Later, An Shiqing could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide by taking poison, becoming the most cowardly martial arts champion to die in the Dasheng Dynasty.

He didn't even go to the battlefield and ended his life at home.

In this life, the top martial arts champion will definitely be one of Su Shengyan and Chu Yan. No matter who it is, if they are forced to go to the third princess, they will not have a good ending.

So, why not spread the news that they are a couple first? That way, the emperor can't let his beloved third princess marry a man with a sexual tendency, right?

In this way, not only Chu Yan was helped, but Su Shengyan was also saved. It was a win-win situation.

Compared with dignity and life, what does a little reputation mean?

……

the other side.

When Su Shengyan returned to the tent, he saw Chu Yan sitting on the bed packing his things.

He hurried forward to explain: "Chu Yan, you must have misunderstood me. I only have brotherly feelings for you, and I definitely don't have any improper thoughts about you!"

Although Chu Yansheng had delicate features and looked very feminine, he knew clearly that she was a man!

We ate and lived together for three days, and experienced life and death together.

How could he be so disgusting as to have such dirty and obscene thoughts about her?

However, no matter how he explained, Chu Yan kept his head down and did not answer, pretending that he heard nothing.

"Speak up, Chu Yan, you really misunderstood me..."

"I know."

Chu Yan interrupted him, saying that if he didn't explain clearly, he would be driven to death.

"You, you know?"

"Ah."

"then you……"

"Brother Su, I can't hide it anymore. I just ask you to help me one last time."

"what?"

Chu Yan suddenly knelt on the ground, tears in his eyes and full of pleading.

"What are you doing? Get up!"

Su Shengyan immediately went to support her, but she held his hand back.

"Brother Su, I have my reasons for doing this, but please believe me, I have absolutely no intention of harming you."

"I know you won't hurt me, otherwise why would you ask Yinyin to save me?"

"It's good that you understand. I can't tell you the truth right now, but I beg you not to clarify it. Just accept it and let it ferment."

"How can this be possible? This will affect you..."

"I'm not afraid of the impact, and I have no plans to get married. If Brother Su has such intentions in the future, I will take the initiative to come forward and clarify, but not now, please!"

She looked at him earnestly, with an expression that showed she had something to grievances about.

Su Shengyan was a kind-hearted person, so seeing this he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"But... never mind. If I can help you, then let everyone misunderstand me. Anyway, such a reputation doesn't matter to me now."

A gleam of light flashed in Chu Yan's eyes.

"So, Brother Su doesn't have anyone he likes?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Get up first."

Su Shengyan did not answer the question directly, but reached out and helped her up.

The person in his heart...I'm afraid she has disappeared long ago, and I don't know if I can meet her again in this life.

……

The next day.

With Su Lanyin's behind-the-scenes manipulation, the news that Su Shengyan and Chu Yan fell in love at first sight and had a close relationship spread like wildfire.

Within three days, it will surely spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Moreover, she had already compiled the draft of the story overnight and planned to hand it over to major teahouses for storytelling.

I'm afraid that Su Shengyan and Chu Yan, the Longyang couple, are going to become really famous.

After returning to the Lu family, before Su Lanyin opened her mouth, Lu Wanjun started asking questions.

"What's going on between your eldest brother and Chu Yan? They are both men!"

As a mother, how can I watch my son be with another man?

She absolutely could not accept this, and even decided to quickly find a woman for Su Shengyan to start a family with.

At the same time, she also suspected that it was the three years of paralysis that caused Su Shengyan to atrophy or become incapable in some aspects, which led to the change in orientation.

Su Lanyin didn't know how to explain for a while, so she could only say firmly: "Don't worry, mother, those are just rumors. My eldest brother is very normal, and he and Chu Yan are definitely in a relationship... Bah! Brotherly love! I said it wrong, it was a slip of the tongue!"

She accidentally slipped her tongue, after all, Chu Yan was a woman.

But in Lu Wanjun's view, the sky seemed to have fallen!

"You must know something, right? Are you helping your brother hide it from me? Tell me, are they together?"

"No, no, I swear, Big Brother and Chu Yan are definitely not a couple, is that okay?"

"Really?"

"Well, I've sworn, but you still don't believe me? Do you want me, your daughter, to swear an oath?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Wanjun covered her mouth, and then reluctantly reassured, "So, these are really just rumors outside?"

"Yes! They are all rumors."

"Really? Who on earth is spreading rumors and causing trouble? Slandering my son is simply a mean person!"

Lu Wanjun cursed angrily, not noticing that Su Lanyin's expression had become indescribable.

My dear mother, that evil-hearted person you are talking about... seems to be me...

……

Three days later, the imperial court released the military examination list. As expected, Su Shengyan topped the list and Chu Yan sat firmly in second place.

The Lu family suddenly produced two top scholars, one in literature and one in martial arts, which was perfect. For a time, they were in great glory.

At the same time, Su Shengyun and Su Shengming also solved the problem in Qiu County and were summoned back to Beijing by the emperor.

Su Yongcheng also came back with them.

In Zuixianlou, Lu Wanjun held a grand banquet and invited everyone she knew to attend, to celebrate her eldest son's passing the imperial examination and her second son's successive promotions after returning to Beijing.

Su Yongcheng came uninvited, and brought with him Su Lanxin and Su Shengming, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Lu Wanjun was greeting guests at the door, and when she saw him coming, her face suddenly fell.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Su? What brings you here?"

She thought, it must be the northwest wind!
