449 Only Lord Su Can Save You
Mu Kun’s defense was much stronger. Although Liu Sanniang could not hear his thoughts, she could tell what he was planning.
He was a person who valued fame and fortune. In front of fame and fortune, everything else was secondary.
If he had to choose between fame and fortune and his son, Mu Kun would definitely choose the former.
Mu Cong was very disappointed. His heart was filled with pain.
However, Mu Kun did not notice his son’s reaction. After all, he was blinded by money. Therefore, he did not know that he had accidentally lost his son’s trust on this day.
They were still father and son, but an insurmountable gap had opened up between them.
After Liu Sanniang finished speaking, Mu Kun was delighted. “With Miss Liu’s help, Lord Su will definitely save my son.”
Mu Cong looked at Liu Sanniang and thanked her gratefully. “Thank you for saving me, Miss Liu.”
Liu Sanniang said, “Let’s go.”
Chu Yan came out of the kitchen and went to the backyard to get the horse.
Mu Kun looked at Chu Yan and smiled fawningly. “Hello, Young Master Chu.”
Mu Cong looked at Chu Yan and lowered his eyes. “Greetings, Young Master Chu.”
Chu Yan had an aura that made people not dare to offend him.
Everyone wanted to live, including Mu Cong. Even if he wasn’t that important to his father, he had to live. As long as he could live, everything was possible.
Chu Yan did not look at Mu Kun and Mu Cong. He said gently to Liu Sanniang, “Let’s go.”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
After Liu Sanniang got into the carriage and Chu Yan drove off, Mu Cong and Mu Kun followed suit.
Mu Kun instructed the servant. “Go to the Marquis Mansion.”
Mu Cong didn’t say a word. Mu Kun patted him. “Don’t worry. With Miss Liu around, Lord Su won’t refuse to help.”
Mu Cong said lightly, “Maybe. I know he wants to please Miss Liu.”
Mu Kun took a deep breath. “You need to learn more from Lord Su. Don’t underestimate him. He’s arrogant because he has a powerful background. But look at him. He has done so many bad things, but none of the things he did was enough to send him to jail. What he has done makes people hate him, but no one can do anything to him.”
The rich and powerful liked to seek fun, but there was a limit to everything. They were always careful not to turn fun into misery.
Mu Cong thought about it and found it made sense.
Su Yanyu was an extremely bad person. He had done many despicable things. However, after so many years, he had indeed not killed anyone.
Many people tried to curry favor with him, and he would treat them all like dogs. If those people couldn’t stand the humiliation, they would be kicked out of the clique. In the past few years, only he, Li Wei, Cheng Yan, and a few others managed to put up with the humiliation. At the same time, they had also obtained a lot of benefits in return.
Their status had risen quickly, and they got to follow Su Yanyu to all kinds of entertainment venues.
Mu Cong looked at Mu Kun and said calmly, “I will.”
When the carriage arrived at the Marquis Mansion, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan alighted.
The Marquis mansion was extremely luxurious. Just like the other mansions, there were two majestic stone lions guarding the door.
Liu Sanniang walked forward. A servant came out and said, “Miss, who are you looking for?”
The servant sized Liu Sanniang up and didn’t find her familiar.
Mu Cong hurriedly went forward and said, “Quickly go and report to Lord Su that Miss Liu is here to see him.”
Mu Cong remembered how much Su Yanyu wanted to please Liu Sanniang in Suzhai Pavilion. As soon as Liu Sanniang said that there was something wrong with the food, Su Yanyu believed her unconditionally.
The servant did not know Liu Sanniang, but he knew Mu Cong. Hearing Mu Cong’s words, he smiled and said, “So it’s Young Master Mu. Please wait a moment. I’ll report to the Young Marquis immediately.”
The servant quickly walked into the Marquis mansion.
Su Yanyu didn’t go out for the past few days and was extremely bored at home. It was not that he did not want to go out, but he was afraid that something would happen if he stepped out. Although Hui Zhen wouldn’t take the risk to murder the son of a marquis in person, it wasn’t unlikely for her to hire assassins to do it.
He was the safest at home because the Marquis mansion was protected by the talisman an eminent monk drew. Evil things would all be blocked outside.
The guards of the Marquis mansion were not to be trifled with, either.
Feeling bored out of his mind at home, Su Yanyu gathered the servants to play chess. However, these servants only wanted to flatter him by intentionally losing the games.
Su Yanyu lost his interest. “I’m done.”
At this moment, a servant came over to report. “Young Marquis, Young Master Mu has brought Miss Liu to look for you. Do you want to see her?”
Usually, Su Yanyu didn’t need to be informed when Mu Cong and the others came. However, a few days ago, Su Yanyu had specially instructed the servants to inform him before letting anyone in.
Since Su Yanyu had said so, the servants naturally had to obey.
When Su Yanyu heard this, his expression lit up. “Mu Cong brought Miss Liu to see me? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite her to the main hall. Tell the butler to prepare the best tea for Miss Liu.”
When the servant heard this, he knew that this was an esteemed guest and hurriedly replied. “Alright.”
Su Yanyu smiled. “Miss Liu is here. I have to receive her in person.”
With that, he walked towards the door.
Liu Sanniang didn’t wait for too long before she saw a high spirited young man coming out. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a smile on his face. “Miss Liu, I thought my servants were lying to me. Please come in.”
Liu Sanniang nodded and followed Su Yanyu into the mansion.
Su Yanyu walked to Liu Sanniang’s left. “Miss Liu, I’m really happy that you can drop in to see me.”
