Frost for a Thousand Years

Chapter 36 Sun Situ's Revenge
As soon as Song Shi'an finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

It was as if the air itself had frozen.

Every maid and servant froze, afraid to make any noise, their hearts pounding in their throats.

Gao Yunyi was completely dumbfounded, staring at Song Shi'an's back, so shocked that he lost his mind.

Completely empty your mind.

How could this person be so brave!
What does your birthday have to do with me?
These words echoed in Sun Situ's mind.

He remembered every detail, including that face.

This is the humiliation I have never experienced in my life.

It comes from this kid.

The hand gripping the wine glass was already rough, but now it was even more like the gnarled roots of an old tree, with bulging veins.

It extends all the way up to the neck.

Enraged.

King Zhongping could already feel the anger burning around him.

Song Shi'an, you're a real good lad.

They actually chose this path.

To present a poem to Minister Sun that is too well-written would be tantamount to flattery and a complete lack of self-respect.

It was poorly written, perfunctory, and disgraceful to the title of top scholar.

If you get angry and start cursing, that's even worse.

What does this have to do with you?

This kid is going to be famous.

Wei Yiyuan could foresee that tomorrow… no, from today onwards, he would become a prominent figure in the entire Sheng'an.

"How could there be such a madman!" Han Zhongchen stood up angrily after he left, pointing in his direction and cursing, "Such arrogance..."

"Shut up!"

Before he finished speaking, Sun Situ threw the bronze goblet, still containing wine, down towards the people below.

The air was filled with the aroma of wine.

The bronze vessel clanged loudly, and a corner broke off instantly.

Han Zhongchen, who had originally intended to take a strong stand at this moment, was speechless with fear and broke out in a cold sweat.

My heart was pounding and my limbs were trembling.

Everyone fell silent, too afraid to meet his gaze.

In fact, when the wine cups were smashed, some wine even spilled onto Prince Zhongping.

However, Prince Zhongping did not blame him, and Minister Sun had no intention of apologizing.

Slowly, Wei Yiyuan turned his head.

Sun Situ angrily stood up and walked down the steps of the hall.

His legs are actually fine, but now he walks unsteadily.

Sun Heng quickly went over to help the furious Situ away.

He choked back a sob.

Sitting there, Sun Jinhua watched her father's retreating figure. Her already fair face turned deathly pale with fright.

I have never seen him so furious.

No one could make my father like this...

Song Shi'an will definitely not be let off the hook.

After Sun Situ left, Wei Yiyuan, who was sitting in the superior position, immediately stood up and flicked the wine off his sleeves.

He left the lobby without saying a word.

All the officials immediately stood up and bowed deeply to welcome and see off the King of Zhongping.

After they disappeared completely, everyone slowly straightened up.

Thinking about what had just happened, Hu Yu said unhappily, "What did Song Shi'an mean by pointing at us while reciting poetry?"

"Yes," someone quickly chimed in. "Aren't all civil and military officials serving His Majesty and dedicating themselves to the Great Yu? Besides, does he really think he can take over fifty prefectures of Guanshan?" "Damn it, we're all cowards who fear death, while he's the only one who's noble and loyal!"

Song Shi'an offended not only Sun Situ, but everyone here, except for the Prince of Zhongping, was subjected to a general attack.

This even includes Sun Jinhua.

Did you come here just to reminisce about a land of gentle comfort?

Didn't you just ask if the girl was there?
"Brother Han, what do you think?"

Gao Yunyi patted Han Zhongchen on the shoulder, pulling him into the conversation.

He was still immersed in the terror of being terrified, and when he looked up in astonishment, he subconsciously revealed a blank expression.

This scene was a real treat for the Asian fans.

Some couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

Song Shi'an is arrogant; he's a bit ignorant of his own limitations.

But there was a man who, at someone else's banquet, wished to steal a hundred-year-old peach from the Jade Pool and present it to his father-in-law in hopes of achieving immortality.

"Jinhua, let's go."

Despite his anger, Sun Qian suppressed his emotions and coldly led Sun Jinhua away from there.

As soon as the two left, Gao Yunyi started teasing Fan Wuji again: "Brother Wuji, they've already left."

"..." Fan Wuji blushed, then pursed his lips and said speechlessly, "What do you mean by speaking to me alone?"

"If Song Shi'an hadn't made such a fuss, Minister Sun would definitely have chosen Brother Wuji as his son-in-law today. Aren't you angry?" Because he had no demands, Gao Yunyi could start a group chat at will.

Why would I be angry?

After asking the question, Fan Wuji glanced back at the seats in the hall, then his expression returned to calm as he said, "Let's go."

"Ah."

Gao Yunyi nodded, and then the two of them and the other Ya Yuan bowed to each other before quickly leaving without delay.

The two people, who were as clear-headed as mirrors, knew that getting involved in such a situation would only bring them trouble.

Compared to Song Shi'an, they were even more disgusted by Sun Situ, who treated them as pawns.

……

"Father, please don't get angry. Anger is bad for your health."

As they left the main hall and walked towards the inner room, Sun Heng, who was supporting Sun Situ, quickly comforted him.

Sun Situ stopped and pushed his hand away, asking in return, "Why am I angry? Everything is under my control."

He said those words with great conviction.

It was quite obvious that he was already trembling a little.

Physiological reactions don't lie; he's currently in a state of extreme urgency, practically bursting with rage.

With a powerful self-adjustment, the old man's heavy breathing, his white beard swaying, gradually subsided.

After a while, he finally calmed down.

"If this kid were just arrogant and humiliating me, that would be fine. But now, he's very arrogant."

Raising his finger, Sun Situ said to Sun Heng, "Since he's so arrogant, there's a way to deal with him."

What does Father mean?

Sun Heng asked for guidance.

"You couldn't write this poem, and even if Sun Qian had good writing skills, he couldn't write it either. Only a crazy person like him, who doesn't know what's good for him, would sing like this."

Thinking of this greenhorn, Sun Situ became contemptuous: "Isn't he arrogant? Then when it's time for the performance review, arrange for him to be the magistrate of Cangxia, where the magistrate position is vacant."

Hearing this, Sun Heng was stunned and said dumbfoundedly, "Cangxia County borders the Hu people, and the local traitors are colluding with foreign tribes. Three county magistrates have been killed, and the position has been vacant for two months. Any official who is to be transferred there would rather be demoted than go. Sending him there as county magistrate is clearly an attempt to kill him, isn't it?"

“Sending him directly won’t work.”

Speaking of this, Sun Situ said confidently, "He has already elevated himself to such a high position, and public opinion is bound to be in an uproar. At that time, all it takes is a little provocation to put him in a difficult position. He will have delivered himself to Cangxia."

“But what if he didn’t die, and even managed to cure Cangxia…?” Although it was practically impossible, Sun Heng was still somewhat worried.

Upon hearing this, Sun Situ Laocang, whose usually composed features were now etched with a sinister smile for the first time, said: “I have always taught you that you should be most afraid of those four words.”

Sun Heng said blankly, "It all depends on human effort..."
