Chapter 15
Zhilan sent Manager Qi out and bounced back happily. “Miss, our medical center will definitely improve greatly. You’ll have money in the future!”
Su Yingxue nodded. “This is only the first step. The management of the medical center is far more than this.”
In addition to medicinal herbs, there were also many vegetables grown in the Medicine King Valley. She took out some veggies and radishes and let Zhilan cook them, and they ate them for two days. The two of them clearly felt that their bodies became much stronger.
She even asked Zhilan to send some to Su Hao.
When Zhilan returned, Shuyan was also there. He handed a card to Su Yingxue. “Young Miss, the Martial General Assessment will be held in five days. Young Master is inviting you to go and take a look.”
The examination of generals was a strict requirement for generals.
The Great Cheng Dynasty used martial arts to pacify the world. The ancestor emperor’s martial arts skills were extraordinary. He recruited many people with high martial arts skills into the court as generals and trained them. They trained millions of mighty soldiers and were famous in the nine provinces.
However, becoming a general in the Great Cheng Dynasty was not easy. Even if one had a prominent family background, they still had to pass a strict assessment to be competent. The assessment was held every year to remind the generals not to slack off at all times. If they regressed, they would immediately lose their official position and power. They would have to wait until the next year to have the opportunity to reassess.
In the assessment of her previous life, Su Hao was implicated by her and forced himself to hold on in the martial arts competition. In the last competition, he was defeated by Su Jinxuan and lost his position as a general.
In this life…
Su Yingxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with determination. “I’ll definitely go and cheer for Big Brother personally.”
Shu Yan was stunned when he saw how easily she agreed. “You’ll definitely go? Don’t tell me you’re going to drag Young Master down?”
“How can you say that! Miss is very caring towards Eldest Young Master and did not even forget to send food to him!” Zhilan angrily stepped on Shu Yan’s foot.
Shu Yan groaned and glared at Zhilan with a puffed-up face. “Stupid girl, why would you learn something like that!”
She had learned to be so violent from Su Yingxue!
The marks on his face had not healed yet!
“Zhilan, send him out.”
Su Yingxue instructed lightly. Zhilan directly chased Shu Yan out with a broom.
Shu Yan fled in panic. He ran back to Ling Xiao Garden and shook his head repeatedly. “We can’t afford to offend them!”
He did not dare to provoke the Eldest Young Miss anymore!
The Ninth Prince’s Mansion.
Chu Jinling, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, hopped in front of Chu Yihan and winked slyly. “Ninth Imperial Uncle, the Martial General Assessment will be held in five days. The most popular bets are the two grandsons of Old General Su, Su Hao, and Su Jinxuan. Who do you want to bet on?”
Chu Yihan’s well-defined hand knocked on the table. “Su Hao.”
“Then I’ll bet on Su Jinxuan! Su Hao was injured a few days ago, so he couldn’t recover so quickly. Moreover, he had a sister who poisoned him and is a burden, so he definitely couldn’t win against Su Jinxuan.” Chu Jinling pinched the jade Pixiu on his waist, and he had a determined expression!
“A sister who is a burden?” The corners of Chu Yihan’s mouth curled up slightly. “Not necessarily.”
Chu Jinling saw the smile on the corner of his mouth and trembled violently, “Imperial Uncle, you can’t be smiling, right?”
Oh my god!
He felt a very terrifying aura.
He was the unruly Eighth Prince, and even his father had not cared much about him since he was young. However, he was only afraid of one person, and that was his Ninth Imperial Uncle, Chu Yihan!
He was especially afraid of him laughing!
Because if he smiled, someone would definitely be in trouble!
And it was the kind of bad luck.
Chu Yihan was ten years older than him, and he was just like someone else’s child since he was young. He was the best in poetry, literature, riding, and archery in the Great Cheng Dynasty. He was so good that he had no friends!
And he had a very odd personality. When they were young, the princes were most afraid of the Ninth Imperial Uncle, not the Grand Tutor or Master!
While they were slacking off, if someone shouted that the Ninth Imperial Uncle was here, it would definitely make them tremble!
Chu Yihan opened his eyes coldly and glanced at him. “I can’t laugh?”
He had the aura of the King of Hell around him. Chu Jinling trembled and quickly took a few steps back. He nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Y-you can laugh! Imperial Uncle, you look great when you laugh. You look the best in all of the Great Cheng Dynasty!”
“Mhm, you have good taste.” Chu Yihan nodded in a good mood as he played with Su Yingxue’s jade pendant.
“Eh, not only Imperial Uncle, what did you mean by that just now? The old general’s idiot granddaughter would only drag Su Hao down, right?” Chu Jinling returned to Chu Yihan’s side after a while.
Chu Yihan didn’t even look at Chu Jinling. “I gave her three ginsengs a few days ago. Su Hao’s injuries should have healed. As for the person saying that she’s an idiot, I feel that he needs to be sent to the military camp to temper himself.”
“Goodbye, Imperial Uncle!”
Chu Jinling escaped from the Imperial Mansion like a gust of wind.
He ran back to his own residence and patted his chest. “My god, going to the military camp is asking for my life!”
His mother, the Imperial Concubine, had spoiled him since he was young. His riding and archery skills were the worst. Going to the military camp was courting death!
However, Imperial Uncle wanted his life just because he called Su Yingxue an idiot?
He was too biased!
“There’s a problem with Imperial Uncle!” As the head of Jiang Du City’s Eight Trigrams, Chu Jinling instantly noted down the unusual behavior Chu Yihan had towards Su Yingxue!
Five days later, at the Wangjiang Tower.
Su Yingxue got out of the carriage in a red dress embroidered with golden lotuses and went up the observation platform with a group of young ladies.
Her seat was the first of the three. Other than the princesses, her seat had the best view, allowing her to see all the scenery and the tournament stage.
Many people looked at her with jealousy. Wu Ruofei, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, even mocked her. “Relying on her family background, even an idiot can go to Wangjiang Tower these days.”
Su Yingxue sat in her seat and said indifferently, “That’s right. If you don’t say anything, no one will know that you’re an idiot who relies on your family background!”
Wu Ruofei blushed. “I’m talking about you!”
Su Yingxue looked at her innocently. “I’m talking about you too! Was there something wrong? Miss Wu, were you that eager to label yourself as an idiot?”
There was mocking laughter around her. Wu Ruofei stomped her feet in anger. “Y-You just need your sister to discipline you! Where’s Su Yurou? When I find her, I’ll let her teach you a lesson!”
Su Yingxue laughed coldly, and her eyes were cold and sharp. “So the upbringing of the Minister’s Estate is that the daughter of a concubine teaches the daughter of a legitimate wife, and the younger sister teaches the older sister? No wonder Miss Wu is so stupid.”
“Su Yingxue, you dare to call me stupid? What about Su Yurou? If she doesn’t hit you, I’ll…”
“Bang!”
Before Wu Ruofei could finish her sentence, Su Yingxue kicked her away.
Su Yingxue bent down to wipe her shoes. She was as cold as an ice beauty. “If you want to get beaten up, you don’t have to call others. Just say the word.”
Wu Ruofei stood up with the help of two servant girls and threw a tantrum, “Su Yingxue, how dare you kick me! I won’t let you off!”
Su Yingxue originally wanted to say that it was up to her.
A man’s voice suddenly rang out. “What are you going to do to not let her off?”
Wu Ruofei’s body froze on the spot as if she had been stabbed by an icicle.
The ladies beside her who were watching the commotion also fell silent.
Chu Yihan appeared. His purple-gold robe fluttered even though there was no wind. His face, which had attracted countless women, exuded an arrogant and bloodthirsty aura.
