Chapter 1276 - 51: Joyful Debts (Part 27)_3
Marquis Dongxiang hid his identity and rebuilt the Flying Tiger Army; who wouldn’t admire that?
Su Yang is his only biological son under his care, and he’s willing to beat him harshly. What family elders aren’t willing to beat their sons?
Without discipline, there is no success.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that at least half of the noble sons in the Capital City get beaten thanks to Su Yang.
Originally, they thought once Su Yang got married, he wouldn’t get beaten, and they might also avoid some scoldings and the feather duster.
But who would have thought he’d get beaten like this right after marriage?
Isn’t this setting a bad example for their fathers?!
"Do you think Marquis Dongxiang starts getting itchy hands if he doesn’t beat his son for three days?" a noble son complained.
"What’s worse is my dad is getting addicted to beating me too," another noble son complained even more.
In the past, his dad felt sorry when he beat him; he would secretly watch from the window as he applied medicine.
After a few beatings, he wouldn’t even let the servant apply medicine for him.
Some who were close to Su Yang couldn’t help but protest, "You’re married now, can’t you let your dad stop beating you?"
Su Yang: "...."
Princess Yinchuan: "...."
That sounds like he enjoys getting beaten.
Su Yang looked at the noble son, who held his forehead and said, "Pretend I didn’t say anything."
Princess Yinchuan took the excuse to wander elsewhere and secretly asked a vendor if the Second Young Master of the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion was often beaten.
The vendor laughed, "I’ve had my stall here for ten years, and it’s rare to see his face not bruised."
Princess Yinchuan: "...."
The maid was shocked, "Marquis Dongxiang is too ruthless, isn’t he?"
Even his biological son gets beaten so severely; he must be stricter with his daughter-in-law.
The vendor laughed, "Not ruthless, just a bit strict."
"A little strictness is good. Like my son, his mother always protects him from my disciplining."
"I secretly beat him once; he became much more obedient."
"These sons, when it’s time for discipline, you absolutely shouldn’t pity them just because they’re still young and can’t take it. As parents, can we not have the sense to beat them out of shape?"
The Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion is the best example.
Beaten black and blue, yet still perfectly fine.
They have never beaten their sons on the face.
Su Yang is very familiar with this bustling street; he’s out of money, so all the things Princess Yinchuan buys are put on credit.
Any shop, without hesitation, gives him credit. Su Yang says, "This debt will be settled in three months."
"Whenever the Second Young Master comes to pay off the debt is fine," the shopkeeper laughed.
Princess Yinchuan knows all of Su Yang’s money went to Prime Minister Zhao, and ultimately reached her hands.
Now she’s extremely wealthy, so she buys things without a blink.
But Su Yang won’t let her pay and prefers to owe the shop.
Princess Yinchuan looked at him, "Will you have money in three months?"
"Yes," Su Yang nodded.
Not only will he have money, but quite a lot of it.
Going all the way to Beimo to pay respects to his father-in-law, naturally, he plans to bring back some wool gifts.
At this moment, faraway in Beimo, King Beimo was handling state affairs when he suddenly felt a chill down his back.
He was stunned.
The eunuch attending to him quickly asked, "What’s wrong, Emperor?"
"Nothing," King Beimo shook his head.
After wandering around the street, buying a bunch of stuff, they returned to the mansion.
The next day, Princess Yinchuan refused to go street shopping again.
Despite her status as a princess, she really doesn’t have the habit of buying on credit, and moreover, she’s exhausted, lacking the energy to go out.
Princess Yinchuan was feeling down and listless, while Su Yang was energetic.
Thinking about his upcoming long journey, he went to say farewell to his friends.
The Ninth Prince and Zhao Duan truly didn’t expect that Su Yang would be off to Beimo right after returning to the Capital City; they were a bit reluctant to see him go.
The four of them grew up together, doing everything together. Though not worried about his safety during Su Yang’s three-month runaway to avoid marriage, it was a bit dull without a brother around.
He had finally returned; now he’s leaving again.
The Emperor still doesn’t know about Su Yang accompanying Princess Beimo back to her home. After the morning assembly, he summoned Marquis Dongxiang to the Imperial Study and asked, "Why is Yangyang taking Princess Yinchuan back to Beimo when it’s so far?"
Marquis Dongxiang looked at the Emperor and said, "Yangyang is married now; he can’t keep being idle as before."
"Once they return from Beimo, I’ll let him assume a government position."
Su Yang is Marquis Dongxiang’s only biological son, destined to inherit the military power he holds and become Su Chong’s right-hand man.
Holding military power means he must keep his distance from Beimo, or else things would be unclear.
In the future, Princess Yinchuan’s chances of returning to Beimo would be slim; being a young woman married far away in Daqi, Marquis Dongxiang and Mrs. Tang felt sympathetic.
Since there’s still a chance, let her fulfill her filial duties more, so there won’t be any regrets in the future.
Marquis Dongxiang considered everything thoroughly, leaving the Emperor speechless, "It’s time to give these young ones some real tasks."
