Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed! Chapter 88 - 87: Can’t Even Speak Like a Human
The next day at court, the ministers were discussing fervently because General Yu—Yu Ting—had returned to the capital, becoming quite the popular figure!
Su Juan listened to their discussions, curiously leaning in to hear.
Soone exclaid, "This General Yu is sothing else, rely twenty-nine and already accomplished many military feats."
[What, he’s already twenty-nine?]
"..." In the mouth of the Vice Director, even the best words beco sothing else entirely.
Su Juan’s colleague ignored her, "I heard General Yu still hasn’t married, and only has two concubines. It seems he’s returned to the capital this ti to get married. The matchmakers in the capital will wear down the Yu family’s thresholds again."
"After all, he’s young and capable."
[What, he hasn’t even married a wife yet and already has two concubines?]
Colleague: "?"
[Tsk, not anything good.]
Colleague: "!!! You, a woman divorced by your husband, know nothing at all!"
Which man’s household doesn’t have three wives and four concubines!?
The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice laughed at the side, "I still have a niece who’s not yet betrothed. I’ll go ask the Yu family later to see if we can beco in-laws!"
The surrounding ministers smiled but said nothing.
Su Juan glanced over and saw that the speaker was the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and clicked her tongue, [Co on, give it a rest.]
The ministers in the Golden Hall imdiately perked up their ears; here it cos, their mouths were ready for the Vice Director!
[You arranged a marriage for your son Lian Cheng, which turned into a scandal. It hasn’t even been a year since, even if General Yu wasn’t in the Capital City, that doesn’t an he’s clueless. Any good family wouldn’t dare take up the marriage you propose!]
The ministers didn’t say it out loud but agreed in their hearts: Exactly, exactly! Everyone still rembers the scandal with your Lian Family; you’ve stirred up how much trouble for that son of yours who doesn’t like won!
It’s only been half a year, we’ve just been silent. Do you really think we’ve all forgotten?
The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice looked sour, if only they could sew Su Juan’s mouth shut, her words were too harsh.
He chuckled awkwardly to his colleagues, "My niece is just the right age, talented and often talks with Miss Liu from the Chief Secretary’s family, they should match well with General Yu..."
[Wow, your niece is that desperate to marry? Trying to leech onto my Miaoqing for a good reputation?]
The Junior Minister’s face turned even more sour, he wished he could grab an embroidery needle and sew up Su Juan’s unruly mouth.
Other ministers watching the drama got excited: "!!!" My Miaoqing?!
They didn’t want to be excited, but Su Juan ntioned my Miaoqing!
The Chief Secretary looked back a few tis, always feeling the court’s atmosphere was strange recently, conversations often turned to his daughter.
Especially with Su Juan, ntioning his daughter; he didn’t know why these colleagues whispered excitedly, not at all like attending court.
Besides, good feelings among young won aren’t unusual, right?
Chief Secretary didn’t know that his colleagues had been engrossed in the recently popular stories circulating in the Capital.
At this mont, the Old Emperor summoned Yu Ting into the hall; everyone’s attention shifted from Su Juan to the young man striding into the Golden Hall.
The man was imposing, with bronze skin, a muscular build looking tall and strong. As he entered the Golden Hall, his gaze swept across the ministers, as if searching for soone.
Upon reaching the front, he knelt and paid his respects, calm and confident, a hint of pride in his voice, "Your humble servant pays respect to Your Majesty!"
The Old Emperor bead with joy, "Minister Yu, please rise quickly!"
"Truly fearless in youth, very good, very good, excellent!"
The Old Emperor praised Yu Ting several tis, showing his admiration for this young talent, and imdiately bestowed an appointnt, making him Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army.
The forr Vice Commander of the Forbidden Army had yet to recover from injuries and was about to resign. Now, Yu Ting, who had just returned to the capital, was appointed to fill the position, assisting Commander Yan in commanding the fifty thousand Forbidden Army, safeguarding the Imperial City and protecting the emperor, second only to Great Commander Yan Zheng.
This honor made many military generals in court envious.
Prince Jing was also quite pleased, after all, this was his relative, earning the Emperor’s trust and promotion without returning to the bitterly cold South, it’s indeed a good thing.
After the court session, everyone gathered around Yu Ting, offering congratulations, with the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice being the most eager, deliberately leaving out the word ’Vice’, "Commander Yu, young and accomplished!"
Commander Yan was already over fifty, if sothing happened, wouldn’t Yu Ting be next? This suggested bright prospects.
Yu Ting laughed, "Lord Lian praises too much."
"I heard Commander Yu is still unmarried, is there a lady who has caught your eye?"
"Not yet married, this return to the capital is indeed to settle the marriage," Yu Ting laughed.
The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice imdiately beca excited, quickly recomnding his niece, "What a coincidence! I have a niece, only seventeen, still unmarried!"
Seeing the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice so eagerly presenting his niece, others couldn’t get a word in, it seed he was determined to offer his niece.
Yu Ting humorously responded a few words, his gaze fell on Su Juan, who was erging with Duke Ping and others nearby. Although he hadn’t t Su Juan, among so many people, she was the only woman, unmistakable.
"Presumably, this must be Vice Director of Revenue, Lord Su?"
Not expecting Yu Ting to address her, Su Juan stopped and looked at him, "Indeed, it’s ."
Yu Ting gave a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, "Earlier, my cousin ntioned you, I thought I’d et you this ti in the Capital. Just arrived at Prince Jing Mansion yesterday, alas, I missed seeing Lord Su, what a pity."
Most ministers around stopped, looking over, as everyone in court knew that Yu Ting was a relative of Princess Jing, the direct cousin of Prince Jing’s heir, Song Qianfan. From the looks of it, he was here to cause trouble on behalf of his cousin.
Picking up on the hostility in Yu Ting’s words, clearly looking for trouble, Su Juan smiled, "I wonder what advice Vice Commander Yu has?"
That word ’Vice’ was emphasized heavily by her, [Couldn’t have guessed, Song Qianfan isn’t good at much, but he’s excellent at complaining and getting help.]
Yu Ting: "Just ca to see what a woman who, after marriage, isn’t at ho managing household affairs, spends all day out in public, looks like. I thought I’d witness it, never having seen it before, but after seeing today, I’m rather disappointed, truly ordinary."
These words imdiately released a strong sll of gunpowder.
Su Juan feigned surprise, "I heard Vice Commander Yu is already twenty-nine and still unmarried, I thought it was due to being busy with military duties, didn’t expect it was simply because you haven’t seen a woman?"
[Tsk, looking for trouble, indeed whoever’s involved with Song Qianfan isn’t anything good.]
Yu Ting sneered, "Quite eloquent indeed."
Su Juan blinked, "After all, can’t be like Vice Commander Yu, who can’t even speak human language."
[Already twenty-nine and still can’t speak human language, no wonder just a Vice Commander, while Commander Yan is healthy and can work till you’re dead without a problem.]
Yu Ting’s face turned angry, this Su Juan was truly eloquent and hard to deal with.
