Chapter 149: Fu Yalou

He knew Su Yan’s identity, but there was no respect for Guang Pingwang in his tone, just like how Su Yan was just an ordinary citizen.

Su Yan did not feel offended. She smiled and said, “Yes.”

The old man’s expression gradually became agitated, but he did not say anything. He just handed the paper in his hand to the servant just now and asked him to read it.

The servant held the paper of the second half of the couplet and stood on the stage and announced loudly, “The second half of the couplet that the Princess Consort of Guang Pingwang gave was: leave unintentionally, let the clouds roll in the sky.”

This was a wonderful pair!

Zhaoyang looked at Su Yan who was in the limelight and slammed the teacup in her hand onto the table in jealousy.

She only calmed down when she remembered that the main event of the day had yet to take place.

Just as everyone was immersed in this couplet, a slovenly person suddenly walked in.

With one look, it was obvious that he did not fit into the atmosphere of Fu Yalou.

The people in the building did not mean to look down on him. They only asked him a simple question.

That person’s attitude was unusually arrogant as he said, “I’m here to look for Su Yan. Who dares to stop me!”

Calling Princess Consort Guang Pingwang’s name directly like this, everyone looked at Su Yan in confusion.

For a moment, the entire hall became a vacuum. Su Yan turned around and looked into the man’s eyes.

When the man saw Su Yan, he went forward to hold her hand.

He was separated by the inner guards beside her.

When the man saw this, his expression changed and he said angrily, “Su Yan, you treacherous woman. You abandoned me after climbing up to the Guang Residence and even sent people to kill me. Today, I will reveal your true colors.”

Su Yan’s expression did not change. She said, “I don’t know you.”

The man revealed a cold smile. “I have evidence. It’s our love token from back then.”

Everyone whispered to each other.

Zhaoyang revealed a vicious smile at the side.

Su Yan said with a cold face, “Then take it out.”

The man proudly took out a silk handkerchief and said, “This is the love token you gave me back then.”

While everyone was shocked, Su Yan smiled.

Looking at the bright golden thread on the handkerchief in his hand, she said, “This is indeed a love token.”

He didn’t expect her to admit it directly. Even the man and Zhaoyang were stunned.

However, Su Yan admitted it, which was more advantageous to their situation. The man wanted to say something, but Su Yan interrupted him.

Su Yan continued, “Unfortunately, you found the wrong person. This golden thread can only be used in the imperial palace.”

The man was stunned.

Well… The people of Fu Yalou also came back to their senses. That was indeed the case.

This golden silk was very precious. It was only provided to the master of the imperial palace every year. Ever since Zhaoyang said that he liked it a few years ago, this golden silk had become her exclusive. They all knew about this situation.

Zhaoyang’s expression was stiff as she stood on the spot. She did not expect that the matter would actually turn to her. She wanted to sneak away.

Scholars were hot-blooded after all. Seeing this situation, they all said that they wanted to send the man to the officials.

The man was in a hurry and happened to see Zhaoyang who was about to leave.

He rushed over and grabbed her, saying, “Princess Zhaoyang, save me.”

Feeling the gazes of the surrounding people, Zhaoyang wanted to kill this man directly.

The discussions of the crowd made her unable to defend herself.

Looking at the figure of Su Yan and Jin Tong who were standing side by side, she knew that they were in cahoots.

She gritted her teeth in hatred, but the current situation did not allow her to think too much.

She quickly shook off the man’s hand and thought of something. She said tearfully, “Who are you? Who asked you to frame me?”

The man was still unwilling to let her go.

Zhaoyang suddenly said, “I don’t know you, but you want to ruin my reputation like this. I, I…”

She fainted in the servant girl’s arms.

Everyone believed Zhaoyang’s words. After all, this man just slandered Princess Consort Guang Pingwang and didn’t have much credibility.
