Chapter 114 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada II


    Su Qingyan knew what Luo Bing was thinking in her heart. In addition to the previous Su Qingyan''s


    behavior, she definitely was still worried about Qingyan beingughed at during the Dragon Gate


    Banquet. Even if she held the imperial edict from Hongjia Emperor in her hands now, she probably still


    wouldn''t believe it, until she sees Qingyan''s expression face to face.


    "Mother, I''m already grown up." Qingyan looked to Luo Bing and reluctantly said, "No need to worry


    about this daughter''s matters." Qingyan intimately hugged Luo Bing.


    Luo Bing patted Qingyan in her arms, "Yan''er, these years, must been difficult for you."


    When Qingyan looked to Luo Bing, she shook her head, "Your daughter doesn''t feel slighted."


    "Father, mother, something terrible happened!" Su Qingyu quickly ran up before them, "The news of


    the Second Prince finding women in an tavern* has already spread through the entire capital. Most


    importantly, second brother seems to have been involved as well."


    (*T/N: The author has quite a few inconsistencies throughout the novel....it''s hard to keep up. They''d


    wrote restaurantst chapter, but tavern is fairly simr.)


    When Qingyan heard this news, she inwardly smiled. Tsk, Murong Jingxuan''s arrangements were


    faster than she''d imagined.

    "What does this have to do with me!" Su Yun looked to Su Qingyu and spoke in irritation.


    The matter of Xuanyuan Yufan asking to marry Su Qingyan during the imperial court session a few


    days ago, he still vividly remembered. Now, he had this kind of situation happen to him, serves him


    right!


    "But that girl is the Miss Sun we brought back from the battlefield!" Su Qingyu panicked and blurted


    these words out.


    Hearing Su Qingyu''s words, Su Yun creased his brows.


    Qingyan, pretending to not know anything, spoke, "Miss Sun? Elder brother, could it be that you


    brought back a sister-inw, and didn''t let me know?"


    "Yan''er....." Luo Bing anxiously spoke, "Don''t say nonsense."


    Su Yun and Luo Bing saw the curious look on Qingyan''s face and could only tell her everything that


    happened. But what they didn''t know was that Qingyan had already heard everything from Sun


    Bimeng. Furthermore, she even knew Sun Bimeng''s ambition of wanting to marry into the Su manor.


    "Father, why don''t we go see? After all, she was brought back by you guys." Qingyan looked to Su Yun


    and reluctantly said, despite also wanting to know what the situation was like right now.


    Su Yun nced at Qingyan, this matter he certainly needed to personally step in. After all, that woman


    was brought back by them.


    Su Yun thought for a moment, then headed out together with Su Qingyan and Luo Bing. Their


    destination was precisely the meeting ce of Xuanyuan Yufan and Su Qingming from earlier.


    On the way, they naturally ran into Su Ming and Ning Siyao. However, the two sides only met face to


    face and didn''t say anything.


    Arriving at the tavern, as soon as they pushed open the room door, the peculiar odor filled the air. Lying


    on the bed, a woman''s slender arm dangled to the side, and on the other side, Sun Bimeng was sitting


    there holding the nket, not making a single sound.


    Xuanyuan Yufan saw the people that entered from the door, and could only pretend to be calm. Right


    now, wanting to escape was an impossible thing. Furthermore, the matter of him finding a woman


    seemed to have already spread throughout the entire capital.


    "Greeting Second Prince." When they saw Xuanyuan Yufan, they respectfully greeted him.


    Xuanyuan Yufan didn''t want to see them right now, but seeing their appearance, he couldn''t refuse


    either.


    "This unfilial son, just what did you do?!" Su Ming pped Su Qingming across the face, and precisely


    because of this p, Su Qingming was thoroughly awake.


    Su Qingming looked at the crowd before him, then nced to the two women lying on the bed again,


    not knowing what had happened either. When he directed his gaze at Xuanyuan Yufan, he found that


    Xuanyuan Yufan was also frowning.


    Su Qingming in a fit of anger, could only push all the responsibilities onto Sun Bimeng. He pointed to


    her and disdainfully spoke, "It''s all your fault, you little wench. If it wasn''t for you seducing us, how


    could we have be like this?"


    Sun Bimeng looked to Su Qingming, softly sobbing as she spoke, "Young master, don''t nder me. I''m


    merely a girl that sells her skills. If it wasn''t for you forcibly kidnapping me here, why would I even


    appear here without a reason."


    Su Yun listened to Sun Bimeng''s words, frowning. Sun Bimeng didn''t ask him for him, nor did she say


    she knew Su Yun, as if Su Yun was like an unrted stranger before her.


    Su Yun naturally wouldn''t be happy for this matter to fall on his head, but Su Qingming didn''t n on


    letting Su Yun off the hook like this.


    "Uncle, you brought this woman back to the capital just to seduce us?" Su Qingming looked to Su Yun


    in discontent, "Uncle sure brought back a good woman."


    Hearing Su Qingming''s words, Su Ming furrowed his brows and looked to Su Yun. And Su Yun


    momentarily didn''t know how to exin either. At that moment, Sun Bimeng slowly spoke, "General Su


    saved me, I''m grateful in my heart. But you can''t waste General Su''s good intentions either."


    Ning Siyao listened to Sun Bimeng''s words and coldlyughed, "Could it be that you weren''t able to


    seduce elder brother, so you wanted to seduce my son, you little whore." She walked up next to the


    bed and gave Sun Bimeng a p. "Tell me, is it Su Qingyan that instructed you to do this?!"


    "Second aunt, sure is calcting, this Miss Sun and I don''t even know each other, where do those


    wordse from?" Su Qingyan looked to Ning Siyao and chillingly spoke, "Second aunt, don''t wrongly


    use me and my parents."


    Ning Siyao turned around and looked at Su Qingyan resentfully. She pointed to Qingyan and


    screamed, "If it wasn''t you, how could our Ming''er have end up as such?!"


    "Second aunt, right now, second brother is openly sleeping around with other people with the Second


    Prince here, what does it have to do with me!" Su Qingyan unhesitantly countered, "Second aunt don''t


    lose your rationale."


    Ning Siyao pped aside Qingyan''s hand at once. She originally wanted to give Su Qingyan a p,


    but Qingyan was pulled into Luo Bing''s arms. "Ning Siyao, do you think our family are all easy to


    bully?" Luo Bing scolded by her full name.


    Ning Siyao listened to Luo Bing''s words and retracted her hand, "Luo Bing, since that''s the case, then


    I''ll trouble you to properly watch your own daughter."


    "Ning Siyao, my daughter, I naturally will discipline." Luo Bing replied with a cold snort.


    Perhaps, because Ning Siyao was afraid of Luo Bing''s status, she didn''t continue to speak further. Su


    Yun then came out with the words, "Second (younger) brother,ter, after we return to the manor, we''ll


    settle the ounts and split the family."


    Hearing Su Yun''s words, Ning Siyao turned her gaze to Su Ming. Su Ming didn''t think that Su Yun


    would put forward this kind of condition. As for Su Qingyan, she furthermore didn''t expect that her


    father would actually mention splitting the family.


    Although splitting the family was something that would happen sooner orter, Su Yun mentioning it


    now, was probably because of bitter disappointment.


    Su Ming seeing Su Yun''s determined look, momentarily didn''t know what to say either.
