The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 187

"Since you really like doing business so much, I can help you." He suddenly had a thought and said it with great determination.

Su Min looked at the hidden smile in his eyes, but immediately thought of how he was going to help her.

But the next moment, she smiled and refused.

"I don't want to rely on the power of the imperial court, and I don't have such big ambitions. I thought about developing the Su family into the largest firm in the country."

Therefore, it is not necessary for him to make great contributions to the Su family.

Nangong Zheng glanced at her and said in a low voice. "Don't be too strong."

Su Min could tell that behind the seemingly indifferent and disapproving voice, there was actually a hint of worry hidden in it, and her heart warmed up, and she frowned with a smile. "I have my own sense of propriety. Even if I lose one miserably, it's just a loss of all my wealth. Now I just want to make the Su family run better, at least so that my father won't regret handing it over to me."

His gaze locked her face for a long time, and she could even convince him that nothing could be difficult for her.He just felt pity for her, didn't change from the beginning to the end, his tone softened, and he asked a question lightly. "It's so strong, isn't it tired? Women don't have much tenacity in doing things."

That was his prejudice against women, maybe the women he had met before made him feel unconfident, Su Min thought so, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious. "Many people think that I am utilitarian and mean, but few people mention that I have tenacity."

"A person's nature is very difficult to change." His expression was indistinguishable, and there was a sense of tranquility between his brows, allowing her to lean on his shoulder and let each other talk quietly.

"Like me, I believe that she is still a kind girl, and she is still a soft girl, but with a hard shell that looks arrogant and sophisticated."

She lowered her head, the smile in her eyes filled with happiness and beauty. "If you can say that, I'll take it as your acquiescence to my decision, and I won't be angry anymore."

"Since you want to leave the palace, I will send Ling Feng to take you to the branch shop in two days."

"Ah."

Her heart is full of sweetness. In fact, getting along with two people is not always a happy experience. When difficulties and conflicts come, what needs to be learned is kindness and wisdom, tolerance and respect.

Feelings are never one person, one side.

The next day.

"After going around in a circle, you still returned to Zheng's side."

The person sitting not far away was dressed in a green robe, with clear and gentle eyes, and a smile that made him friendly and not difficult to get along with.

He is Zhou Yan.

Su Min leaned against the pillars in the corridor, her light pink clothes fluttered in the wind, with a slight smile on her gentle face, she had already agreed.

"Although there is no name between us, I will go to the last step." She smiled and said softly. "Just like me and you, although you have no blood relationship with me, I will treat you as my elder brother for the rest of my life."

Zhou Yan nodded, and now he let it go, treating her as his younger sister.

Her eyes sank, her tone caring. "Is your mother feeling better recently?"

"Very good, now I have one more thought in my mind, and my spirit is not bad." He responded calmly, speaking at a leisurely pace.

"During the Chinese New Year this year, I also want to go back to see her and bring her some gifts." She is thoughtful in everything she does, and she will repay people who are kind to her.

"Your appearance is the best gift for her. Don't bother with the rest." He took a sip of tea, feeling the cool breeze, with a calm expression.

"By the way, yesterday I asked the maid to bring some specialties from the capital. They are in my room. Wait a moment, and I'll ask someone to fetch them."

She turned around with a smile and walked aside.

Shui Ling walked alone in the garden, and the new emperor never came to see her in the past two days, and she also knew that she could not replace the Su family girl's position in his heart.

One night husband and wife, Bai Yeen, maybe the relationship between them is far deeper than hers.

The moment her dream was shattered, she also found that she didn't have the pain she imagined. She just wanted to find someone who could take her away from the sea of ​​suffering.

If people are too greedy, they will live even more tiring.

She let out a long sigh of relief, changed out of her palace attire, and wore plain and thin clothes. She leaned against the rockery, and her eyes slowly slid to the not far away.

Then, she saw the man.

She didn't look back, but the other party was also staring at her. She frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Is it an illusion?

The sunlight falling on her body seemed to blur the facial features on her face, but only those eyes were clearly reflected in Zhou Yan's eyes.

It seems to be exactly the same as Ru'er.

He suddenly lost all expression on his face.

"Greetings for my aunt, just say that I am doing well and let her take good care of her body."

Su Min handed the gift to Zhou Yan with a warm smile and thoughtful words.

"By the way, I saw a girl just now. I don't know if you know who she is and what her name is." Zhou Yan's gaze fell into the distance, extremely focused.

Su Min followed his gaze, but found that there was no one beside the rockery, so she turned her face away with a smile on her face.

"Is it a maid in the palace? There are hundreds of maids here. You need to ask the manager to check the book to find out."

He frowned slightly, and his smile changed. "No, she doesn't look like a palace lady. She doesn't wear palace clothes, she is about the same age as you, looks very innocent, doesn't understand the rules of the palace, and looks at people very directly without being tactful."

For the first time, I heard the urgency in Zhou Yan's tone. He has always done things in a leisurely manner, and everything can be discussed, but this time is different.

Zhou Yan looked no different from ordinary rich kids, he only treated men and women, but he was very clear in his heart, so Su Min didn't doubt that he saw the girl's house he liked.

After thinking about it, she suddenly turned pale, and she was anxious to continue asking. "Have you not……"

He sank into those clear eyes, vaguely remembering the first time he saw Su Min walking out from behind the bead curtain, he felt that those eyes were very familiar, even when he saw Shui Ling just now, he also Sudden disorientation, almost impossible to tell who, was able to remind him of his younger sister.

Contradictory in his heart, he sighed long, with a sad expression on his face: "Yes, I think she is somewhat similar to Ru'er. Although I know that I shouldn't continue chasing after it, I have wasted many years, but the moment I saw her just now , it is difficult for me to convince myself to ignore her appearance."

She could see the melancholy and depression on Zhou Yan's face, trying to resolve such a dull atmosphere, she smiled and said softly. "My brother's intuition for my sister should be very accurate."

"Every time I see a vaguely similar face, I will make a mistake. After hitting a wall, I will tell myself that this is the last time, I should give up, but next time, I still feel that I don't want to miss it, and I don't want to regret it." He looked at her lightly. , squeezed out a smile with relief, never thought about how and when he could accept this fact, and didn't know if he would have this opportunity to make up for it.

She sat beside him, with a warm smile and a gentle expression. "Of course you have to ask, and I support it."

After a little silence, she raised her small face and looked at Zhou Yan with a flash in her eyes. "From your description, I probably know who it is."

"She is?" He suddenly regained his energy, his eyes sparkled because of the hope.

Su Min's smile never faded, and his expression was calm. "You should have heard that he once brought a girl from a brothel into the palace."

"It's her?" Zhou Yan had heard of the woman from the brothel, but she had never seen the woman from the brothel. She was just a girl, and she didn't have too much of the philistine and enchanting aura of the brothel. experience.

Su Min tapped his head lightly, his brows and eyes darkened, and he took it calmly. "It's her. Her name is Shui Ling. She once stayed in the Xiushui Pavilion in Los Angeles for a while. He was the one who redeemed her back then, so she is still in the palace."

Zhou Yan didn't say a word, didn't look back, and listened calmly.

"But she seems to be from a poor family, and she has never talked about being lost with her family when she was a child. I want to remind you not to have too much hope, otherwise, you will be even more disappointed." Su Min sighed in a low voice, appearing to be preoccupied. Acting as Zhou Yan's younger sister, she can never be his own younger sister, but she doesn't think Shui Ling can fulfill his wish.

He smiled slightly, stood up, and looked back at her: "You help me invite her to meet, I want to ask her in person."

"Of course I have to help with this." Su Min nodded repeatedly, the smile on his lips deepened, and he readily agreed.

After seeing Zhou Yan off in person, Su Min stood in front of the palace gate, slightly frowned, and said lightly, "It can't be such a coincidence."

afternoon.

"lady."

Shui Ling walked into the room, saw Su Min sitting in the middle, lowered his body, and bowed deeply.

She is not an ignorant woman, since the new emperor doesn't like her, she has already figured it out, and she is going to stay in the palace as his maid.

It was only these two days that she realized that the "Forgetfulness Grass" she knew to treat diseases and relieve pain in the countryside was not a simple herbal medicine, but poppies, which were harmful to people.If Xindi really drank that cup of tea because of her ignorance and stupidity, she would regret it for the rest of her life.Now that she's given up, she just wants to regard Nan Gongzheng as the benefactor who rescued her from the fire pit, and stay by his side to accompany him to repay the favor, and that's fine.

Therefore, she is also willing to treat the woman her benefactor likes as her half master.

Su Min gracefully poured a cup of tea, pushed it to the opposite side, and gave it away with a palm, "Don't call me that, I have no status in the palace, we are about the same age, you should sit down first."

"Shui Ling is just a servant, and dare not be equal to Madam." She finally stopped lowering her head and looked in Su Min's direction, not without hesitation.

"Sit down if you tell me, I want to talk to you." Su Min got up, brought her to the table, pressed her shoulders, and looked calm.

"I only know your name is Shui Ling, but I don't know your full name yet."
