Talulah's mother and Chen first questioned Talulah in an anxious and questioning tone, and then they saw Su Rui being held in Talulah's arms. Their tone immediately became somewhat hesitant.
Then, Chen's expression became somewhat strange, and the way he looked at Talulah changed. He remained silent.
However, their mother remained calm and asked gently and composedly:
"Talulah, what is your relationship with the boy in your arms?"
"I am Suri, and Talulah is..."
"This is my future husband, our husband relationship."
Talulah pulled Suri closer, making Suri feel a gentle pressure from behind while also feeling a bit hot.
However, Talulah did not receive praise or blessings from her mother and sister. Instead, after her initial triumph, she noticed that their expressions had become somewhat complicated.
“Talulah…” Their mother hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Chen bluntly stated, "Pedophilia is illegal, Talulah. Even if you are a duke, doing something like this is going too far. You even brought him on TV to give a speech, as if you were afraid others wouldn't see it?"
Although Chen did admit that even she was somewhat attracted to the boy named Su Rui, it didn't stop her from standing on the moral high ground to condemn her sister.
However, before Talulah could even defend herself, Suri objected and immediately looked at Chen on the screen, retorting:
“I’m an adult, and I’m a reliable adult. I helped with many of Talulah’s plans!”
"Huh? Oh, you're right, but I'm talking about Talulah right now... Just listen for now."
Upon hearing Su Rui's words, Chen was initially surprised, and then wanted to say something stern. However, seeing Su Rui's displeased expression on the screen, he subconsciously softened his tone.
"Tsk..."
Suri noticed the change in Chen's attitude, but he couldn't easily lash out, since Chen was, after all, Talulah's family, so he chose to remain silent.
Talulah didn't seem to care about her sister's rebuke; instead, she raised an eyebrow at Chen.
"I have good taste, don't I?"
Chen remained silent with a cold expression, but their mother, after her initial surprise, revealed a gentle smile:
"...Let's talk about your plan first, Talulah. You're doing something very dangerous."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't put myself in danger." Talulah puffed out her chest proudly. If Suri hadn't been sitting in her lap, she probably would have patted her chest and assured her.
“Yes, I believe you.” The mother trusted her daughter, or rather, she was very gentle: “If you need help, I can ask your brother for assistance.”
“No need.” Talulah rejected the suggestion decisively. She noticed that even Chen on the other end of the phone wanted to say the same thing, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.
Then, facing her worried mother, Talulah reassured her again: "I promise everything will be alright, don't worry. In a while, Mom will have a daughter who is an emperor!"
Talulah chatted with her mother and sister for a while, and then heard her mother say:
"Talulah, can I speak with Suri alone?"
"Hmm?" Talulah paused, instinctively tightening her grip on Suri, a hint of worry in her voice: "But..."
Suri chuckled and tilted her head back slightly, gently tapping Talulah with her tail: "Alright, that's what your mother said. I'll turn off your communication now~"
"……All right."
Talulah nodded hesitantly, then leaned close to Suri's ear and whispered, "Don't listen to what they're saying. Some of Lungmen's traditions aren't very good. Just pretend you didn't hear it."
Talulah was mainly worried that Suri would be fooled and wouldn't be close to her anymore. After giving her some instructions, she left her room somewhat reluctantly.
As she was leaving, Talulah noticed that her younger sister was still on the other end of the communication line.
Why was Chen allowed to stay? Talulah was somewhat dissatisfied, but she still closed the door and leaned against it, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
Then, she touched her stomach and felt a little hungry. Su Rui must be hungry too, right?
I'll prepare some food for him, and after he finishes talking, I'm sure he'll like him much more.
With this thought in mind, Talulah turned and headed towards the kitchen, intending to instruct the maids to prepare something to eat.
Suri, meanwhile, faced Talulah's mother and sister, waiting for them to speak first:
"So, what would you like to talk to me about?"
Volume 2, Chapter 115: Chen: Don't be afraid, I'm a police officer, speak with confidence.
The first question was asked by Chen Huijie, who had a serious expression. The officer's gaze was stern, but it softened immediately when he met Su Rui's golden eyes.
"Um, first of all, are you really an adult?"
"Of course, I'm definitely an adult."
Su Rui nodded. If we're talking about adulthood, he probably became an adult thousands of years ago, right?
Chen nodded, not pressing for Su Rui's age, but instead inquired:
"So, you really weren't kidnapped by Talulah? If she did anything wrong, you must tell us, and we'll help you get justice."
Even if you say that, if Talulah really did something bad, you couldn't stop her even if you were that far away, right?
Although she found it somewhat amusing, Suri shook her head.
"No, that's not true. Talulah is very friendly and easy to get along with."
"then you……"
Chen wanted to ask more questions, but her mother patted her on the shoulder and gently pushed her away. Then, their mother took center stage in the shot, giving Suri a gentle smile.
"Child, how far have things progressed between you and Talulah?"
Why are you calling me a child? Suri subconsciously felt that this person still treated him like a child, and he was a little dissatisfied, but considering that Talulah's mother was a generation older than him, there was nothing wrong with calling her that, so he didn't say anything more.
Suri hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth about her question:
“Talulah and I have already done it.”
"what?!"
Chen exclaimed in surprise, but after being given a stern look by her mother, she quickly covered her mouth, pretending that she wouldn't say anything more.
Then, their mother looked at Suri again and asked:
"So, you like Talulah, right? How do you feel about what happened between you two?"
"I quite like Talulah, and as for those things, they're not bad at all."
Suri's expression was also a little strange; it was a bit odd to talk about these things in front of her elders.
However, the mother didn't ask too many questions; she simply inquired in a more tactful way than with pride:
"So, between you and Talulah, who usually takes the initiative?"
"...You don't need to ask so many questions about this, do you? To be honest, I feel a little ashamed to tell my elders these things."
Suri's expression finally started to betray her barely concealed emotions.
"So you usually just rush to start with Talulah?"
"Of course not! It was Talu who dragged me along..."
Although Suri didn't understand why his usually gentle mother would ask such a sharp and somewhat impolite question, he instinctively retorted with dissatisfaction.
Halfway through her speech, Suri realized something was wrong and looked at Chen and her mother in the video with disbelief.
"Okay, I understand. Can I speak with Talulah alone now?"
The mother didn't ask any further questions, but smiled gently at Suri and asked him to go and call Talulah.
"I see."
Su Rui, who had just been scammed, was somewhat dissatisfied, but she still nodded, got up, and walked outside.
He said he wanted Talulah to talk to him alone... but Suri definitely wouldn't follow the rules. He wanted to see what strange topics they would discuss.
As Suri opened the door and was about to use his scanning vision to find Talulah, he noticed that Talulah was standing outside leaning against the wall, holding a plate and eating snacks that could be picked up directly with her hands.
"You're done talking? How was it?"
Noticing that Suri had come out, Talulah immediately stood up straight and looked at Suri. Because she had food in her mouth, her speech was a little slurred.
Are you full?
Suri first glanced at the tray in Talulah's hand, which still had quite a few pastries, the kind he also liked.
"Yes, I'm done eating. This was all prepared for you."
Talulah smiled and handed the tray to Suri.
“Oh.” Suri paused for a moment, then reached out and took the tray, nodding to Talulah.
"They want to talk to you alone now."
I was originally planning to just snatch the food from Talulah's hands once she had eaten enough, but now it's actually fine.
Suri nodded to Talulah, then leaned against the wall with the tray in her arms. Now it was Talulah's turn to go in and chat alone with her mother and sister across the room.
Suri ate her snacks while watching Talulah, who was sitting on the bed in the video, looking equally nervous.
"Mom? Is there something you need?"
Talulah sat on the bed somewhat nervously, her hands on her knees, looking obedient.
"Don't be nervous, Talulah, they're just asking some simple questions... I heard from Suri that you forced him?"
"How is this possible!" Talulah exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock as she stood up. She stared in astonishment at her mother and sister in the image and asked anxiously:
"Did Suri tell you?"
Su Rui couldn't stand it anymore and slapped her hand on her cheek.
Doesn't this just give us away? But, Talulah's actions weren't exactly coercion, were they?
After all, Suri and Talulah had enough goodwill towards each other; it was just that their approach was a little too hasty. Suri herself didn't think it was anything important.
However, Chen Huijie and her mother on the other end of the call clearly did not think that way.
Chen Huijie and her mother exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness and worry in each other's eyes.
Talulah, who had become a duke and aspired to be the emperor of Ursus, never expected that she would still have to face this kind of trouble.
Suri sighed and, using a method that the other end of the communication couldn't see, opened another screen in Talulah's field of vision, then showed the scene of her chatting with them.
"These are the contents of my conversations with them. Don't be fooled anymore."
'Suri~ You were eavesdropping on my conversation, you wouldn't even let me eavesdrop~'
Talulah grumbled inwardly, feeling a little aggrieved, while Suri was also somewhat embarrassed: "Anyway, I've told you what happened back then, so now concentrate and don't let them notice you're daydreaming."
Fortunately, she reacted quickly due to exhaustion. With Su Rui's reminder, although it still aroused the suspicion of her mother and sister, the overall result of the conversation was good, and they were able to relax.
Su Rui glanced at Yao Lian, who was almost finished, then at her nearly finished breakfast. After thinking for a moment, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Talulah had prepared food for him earlier, and after chatting for so long, he must be thirsty, right?
Then I'll get Talulah some hot drinks while I'm at it.
Then, Suri opened the door with two drinks in hand and handed one to Talulah.
Su Rui didn't think too much about it. Chen Huijie and her mother on the other end of the call exchanged a glance, and a look of relief flashed in their eyes.
Volume 2, Chapter 116: Planning and Battle, I am invincible!
After much effort, they finally managed to appease Talulah's family. Both Suri and Talulah were exhausted, and they leaned against each other, wearily sipping their hot cocoa.
"Next up is the war, which is my home turf."
Suri proudly nudged Talulah's head with the dragon horn on its head.
"Well then, what are my strategist's plans?"
"First and foremost is Chernobog. We need to leave some troops there to ensure its security. Although the Reunion Movement has Bojokastie, it would still take a whole morning to kill 10,000 pigs, so we still need to replenish our forces there. However, Chernobog is under the least pressure."
As Su Rui spoke, she displayed the military map: "After the press release, I kept an eye on the movements of those nobles online, and I knew exactly what they were thinking."
Neutral was marked in green, friendly in yellow, and hostile in red—simple and easy to understand. Then, Su Rui also marked the troop deployments:
“We will split into three teams. Two of them will only need to launch a siege, while the team you lead will be the main force. After all, you are the immortal Black Serpent, and your deterrent power and symbolic significance are the greatest.”
Following Talulah, Suri also learned a little about the political maneuvering among nobles, but not much, really only a little.
"Then, there's nothing else to worry about. With my electronic warfare support and combat assistance, as long as we don't act recklessly, we absolutely cannot lose."
