Whenever the King of Ruixian was mentioned, a smile always seemed to hang on Su Mingyu's face. "It's just that the King of Ruixian saw that I was being badly bullied in the mansion, so he lent me a hand."
"Not bad." Ye Weiguang gave Su Mingyu an appreciative look. "Was it also true that Su Yueyue was cheated out of tens of thousands of taels of silver a few days ago, which was such a big commotion in the capital's social circle?"
Su Mingyu looked at Ye Weiguang with a half - smile. "It was just to teach her and her mother a lesson."
Hey, Ye Weiguang never thought that his granddaughter had such a personality.
Previously, Ye Weiguang only thought she was polite and behaved like a proper young lady. He even thought she was too weak.
But who would have thought that this little granddaughter of his had hidden so much and handled things so perfectly.
Not only did she quietly open such a big shop in the capital, but she also managed to get such a large sum of silver from Wang Manwen and her daughter. She was truly a promising talent!
"I thought you were just a well - educated young lady in the boudoir. I didn't expect you to have such skills."
Seeing Ye Weiguang's face break into a smile at a visible speed, Su Mingyu just smiled faintly. "I was just forced into it. So, you don't have to worry about my dowry. I can handle it myself."
If what Su Mingyu said was true, with the support of the huge Sinan Pavilion, she must not be short of silver.
Ye Weiguang nodded. "In that case, let's put this matter aside for now. I have something else to ask you. You must answer me honestly and seriously."
Previously, Su Mingyu did approach Ye Weiguang with other motives.
But from the way Ye Weiguang had worried about her today, Su Mingyu could tell that he really cared about her.
So Su Mingyu didn't plan to hide anything from Ye Weiguang anymore. She nodded and looked at the old man seriously. "I'll tell you everything I know."
"When I sent Qingfeng to investigate you, I found something interesting." Saying this, Ye Weiguang directly called Qingfeng in. "Qingfeng, tell her."
Qingfeng nodded and told the whole story of how Su Yueyue bought a head to scare Su Mingyu.
Su Mingyu had to admire Qingfeng's execution ability. Many forces, including the King of Yu, Su Zhengyi, and Wang Manwen, had been trying their best to erase the traces of that incident. But unexpectedly, Qingfeng still managed to find out so much under such extreme circumstances.
After listening, Ye Weiguang looked at Su Mingyu and asked, "Do you know what it means if this incident is true?"
Su Mingyu nodded. "It means that our Su family is actually involved in the imperial examination fraud case. The only reason we've managed to get out of it so cleanly is that the Lin family took all the blame in prison for us."
"I didn't expect you to be so clear - headed." Ye Weiguang snorted. "If this is true, your Su family won't be able to cause trouble for much longer. Have you thought about what to do next?"
Ye Weiguang believed that Su Mingyu was a smart person and couldn't be unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Sure enough, the next second, Su Mingyu nodded quite calmly. "So I think it's a right choice to marry the King of Ruixian at this time."
Ye Weiguang didn't expect Su Mingyu to be so straightforward in expressing her thoughts. He couldn't help but think more highly of her.
Su Zhengyi had ignored such a good talent and instead tried to cultivate Su Yueyue, a useless girl who only knew how to seduce men.
"Since you know your situation, I was just over - worrying. Although I've cut off relations with your mother, I quite like you. So if you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me."
Su Mingyu was really a bit surprised that Ye Weiguang was willing to accept her after only the second meeting. But then she remembered what Gu Ruobai had told her, that Ye Weiguang had always been looking for a chance to get closer to her. After that, she didn't find it so surprising.
After all, Ye Weiguang was old, and his only daughter had passed away early. Now, she was the only successor of his family. It was understandable that he wanted to ease the relationship with her as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Su Mingyu nodded obediently. "I know your kindness, Mr. Ye. But for now, I can handle things on my own. So you don't have to step in. They're just a few women. I don't want to dirty your hands."
"You're quite confident, girl." Ye Weiguang smiled kindly. "Wang Manwen is not a simple woman."
After all, she was the woman who had bullied Ye Mengdie so badly. She must have some means.
Su Mingyu pursed her lips and smiled. "Her biggest backer, that clothing factory, has been sealed up. What else can she do?"
Speaking of the clothing factory, Ye Weiguang remembered the well - known lawsuit at that time. "Did you plan that incident too?"
That time, Wang Manwen and Su Zhengyi had really suffered a silent loss.
Ye Weiguang stroked his beard and valued his granddaughter even more. "Since you have your own plans, I won't say much more. Just remember to hold your head high and do what you want. If anything happens, I'm not completely unable to help."
Su Mingyu didn't expect Ye Weiguang to care about her so much. His words made it seem as if he would stand behind her and the entire Ye family would be her backer.
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. She couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
After all, in the 21st century, she had no family or friends.
Now, she not only had Zhizhu, a little girl who cared about her, but also Ye Weiguang, a blood - related relative, and Gu Ruobai, a man who was truly good to her.
At this moment, Su Mingyu thought that traveling through time might be the best thing that had ever happened to her in all these years.
"Thank you... Mr. Ye." Su Mingyu sniffed and tried hard to control her emotions. "It's really my fortune to know you, Mr. Ye."
Although she tried her best to suppress her emotions, Ye Weiguang still saw the gratitude in Su Mingyu's eyes. He sighed deeply and patted Su Mingyu on the shoulder. "We'll have to wait a while for you to return to the Ye family."
Su Mingyu nodded obediently. "It's okay. Just being able to chat with you like this is enough for me."
Seeing how sensible Su Mingyu was, Ye Weiguang was very gratified. "It's getting late. I'll ask Qingfeng to send you back."
After walking out of Ye Weiguang's mansion with Qingfeng, Su Mingyu suddenly called out to Qingfeng. "Mr. Qingfeng, do you still remember the questions I asked you before?"
