Chapter 1284 - 54: The Battle Between Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law (Part 3)_2
Who would have thought that Su Yang would be the one to solve the problem!
A casual problem stumps everyone, and in the end, it’s him who solves it, saving Beimo’s face.
The Beimo Crown Prince is worried that his own father might die of anger because of Su Yang.
King Beimo is dizzy with rage.
Thinking about how he spent ten thousand taels of gold and three hundred thousand loads of grain and grass for this son-in-law, he’s really about to cough up blood from anger.
He seems to want to spend another ten thousand taels of gold and three hundred thousand loads of grain and grass to hang Su Yang on the city gate and whip him for half a month.
He wonders whose confusion potion he ate back then to insist on forming family ties with Marquis Dongxiang?!
Su Yang looked at King Beimo’s face, although it was ugly, it was still far from being faint with anger.
He then confidently reached out his hand, "Dear Father-in-law, your son-in-law has won."
Mr. Liu, "...!!!"
It’s driving him crazy.
The Prince Consort really is borrowing courage from the heavens, daring to say the Emperor lost the bet and reaching out to ask the Emperor for the stakes.
Su Yang showed no fear on his face.
Afraid of people?
When his mother gave birth to him, those two words weren’t born together.
His father, Marquis Dongxiang, in Daqi, feared not even the Emperor.
If he’s not afraid of his father, who else could he fear?
A bet is a bet.
That rule must be followed by everyone, no matter who they may be.
Since the bet has been placed, one must be prepared for both winning and losing.
Princess Yinchuan hurried over, panting as she approached.
Su Yang turned and saw a fine layer of sweat beading on Princess Yinchuan’s forehead, her breath unsteady.
"Why run so urgently?" Su Yang asked gently.
Princess Yinchuan glared at him, pulling him aside, "How can you let my father give you ten thousand taels?!"
"You knew my father wanted to summon you to the palace, and still deliberately dug a pit for him!"
"This wager can’t be counted."
Su Yang wasn’t angry, he said, "My father has been a bandit for over a decade, his bandit nature is hard to change, and he never follows rules, but if he’s made a bet, he never defaults."
"Isn’t Dear Father-in-law more reasonable than my father?"
Princess Yinchuan was rendered speechless.
King Beimo’s anger was stuck in his chest, neither rising nor falling.
Can he still be angry?
Su Yang said he’s more reasonable than his own father.
If he doesn’t give him ten thousand taels, then he’s defaulting, even less reasonable than his father.
Marquis Dongxiang is a bandit, he doesn’t care about reputation, but as the dignified King Beimo, he has to care about it.
If this spreads, his royal dignity will be lost.
"Go bring me ten thousand taels," King Beimo gritted his teeth.
Mr. Liu looked towards the Beimo Crown Prince, then to Princess Yinchuan and the Beimo Empress.
No one spoke, so he could only follow King Beimo’s orders to fetch the money.
The ten thousand taels in silver notes was fetched, and the Beimo Crown Prince signaled for him to hand them to Princess Yinchuan.
Mr. Liu walked toward Princess Yinchuan, and just as Su Yang reached out, Princess Yinchuan was faster, accepting it in her hand, and tucked it into her bosom.
His hand froze in mid-air.
Su Yang, "...."
Does she need to be this fast?
He was counting on this ten thousand taels to live!
The money was about to be in his hand, but the Beimo Crown Prince played him.
If he doesn’t give the Beimo Crown Prince a bit of a hard time, he won’t know that this brother-in-law is not to be trifled with.
Su Yang withdrew his hand, pinched Princess Yinchuan’s nose, and affectionately said, "You hid it so fast, yet you said you didn’t want it."
Princess Yinchuan, "...."
"Looks like I need to work harder to make money," Su Yang laughed.
"...."
Poor Princess Yinchuan, who was firmly on her father’s side, was swayed to be on his side by just a few words from Su Yang.
Princess Yinchuan wanted to bite Su Yang to death.
She finally managed to return home, couldn’t he just be a little more well-behaved?
With the money in his daughter’s hand, King Beimo’s anger subsided by a third, his dignity retained just a bit.
The Beimo Empress saw that Su Yang wasn’t angry, so she laughed and said, "I rushed here, thinking something happened, but I’ve just gotten a good hand, let’s go back and continue."
When the palace attendant reported, Princess Beimo was accompanying the Beimo Empress playing mahjong.
Princess Beimo, the Beimo Empress, and the Crown Princess Consort, along with the Beimo Empress’s sister-in-law from her maiden family.
The family doesn’t need to worry about wins and losses, just playing for fun.
Princess Yinchuan looked at Su Yang and said, "You should come and play a few rounds too."
Su Yang said, "I don’t play mahjong."
The Beimo Crown Prince’s eyes flashed with light.
Doesn’t play mahjong?
Great.
"Play a few rounds just for fun, to kill time," the Beimo Crown Prince laughed.
Su Yang looked at him, "Brother-in-law is joining us too?"
"You’ve traveled far to come here, I’m busy with matters and haven’t had time to accompany you, so I’ll join you for a while today," the Beimo Crown Prince smiled.
The group left the Imperial Study.
Leaving King Beimo sitting on the Dragon Chair, facing a mountain-high pile of documents.
Mr. Liu was scared.
The Emperor seems even angrier than before.
The documents are dry and boring, tedious to review, nothing like the fun of playing mahjong.
