No title, no marriage? Do you think I'm some kind of lapdog?

"Here you go!"

As soon as Lu Bing finished speaking, his figure instantly merged into the darkness and disappeared.

"Yue Fei, come on, accompany me for a walk!"

Looking at the once again quiet Duke Xin's mansion, Su Chuang knew that many things could not be accomplished once and for all or in an instant.

He couldn't understand why, after so many days, not a single troublemaker had come.

It was as if a huge conspiracy was brewing and waiting for him.

However, he was not afraid!

"Here you go!"

Yue Fei was like a steadfast bodyguard, never leaving his side.

"Tomorrow I'll take you to see that storybook seller again!"

This is the second business opportunity that Su Chuang discovered.

He waited until the liquor business was almost on track before he could spare the time to investigate it properly.

As he walked, he remained somewhat puzzled.

Why are the rewards for checking in getting worse and worse these past few days?

Do we need to go to a temple to burn incense and pray to Buddha?

"My lord, we have arrived."

"Alright, go and buy me one copy of each of these storybooks."

After Su Chuang finished speaking, he casually found a place to sit down.

"My lord, it's been purchased."

"Hmm...you can sit down too."

Because there weren't many people, it took very little time to buy them.

In less than fifteen minutes, Su Chuang finished reading all the storybooks.

"Huh... How dare they sell something so devoid of nutritional value?"

"There are fools who would buy it..."

Su Chuang put down the crude storybook in his hand, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

As he was complaining, he didn't expect to find a woman wearing a veil sitting opposite him.

"Idiot? You've already bought it, aren't you insulting yourself too?"

"Ah...it's Princess Ruxue..."

"Your subject, Su Chuang..."

Su Chuang originally wanted to refute him with a nonchalant attitude.

Upon seeing that the speaker was Lin Ruxue, she immediately covered her mouth, knelt on one knee, and bowed.

"Alright, Brother Chuang..."

"I snuck out... no need for formalities."

"Besides, you are Father Emperor's godson, so you're practically my elder brother."

Lin Ruxue joked.

"Forehead…"

Su Chuang had no response.

Don't be fooled by his ability to make others blush and spit out their words.

He would fall silent whenever he faced Lin Ruxue.

Indeed, there is always something that can subdue something else.

"Brother Chuang...you don't know this...the storybooks sold here are the best in our capital, and even in the entire Daqian."

After saying that, Lin Ruxue unceremoniously snatched a book from Su Chuang's hand and began reading it with great interest.

"Princess...uh...Ru Xue..."

Su Chuang originally wanted to call her princess, but after seeing Lin Ruxue's menacing warning look, he quickly changed his words.

"I am telling the truth; I never lie."

"Tch... But considering you can compose three masterpiece poems in one go, I'll let it slide this time."

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, I'll write it down for you now."

Su Chuang was immediately displeased when he saw Lin Ruxue's disbelieving look.

He immediately ordered Yue Fei to bring out the Four Treasures of the Study, and under Lin Ruxue's watchful gaze, he began to write in a flowing, elegant style.

"A Chinese Ghost Story?"

This was the result of Su Chuang's careful consideration.

After all, it's meant for a girl like Lin Ruxue, so of course it needs this kind of love story to move her.

"Here, for Ru Xue... This was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of ​​mine, what do you think?"

Su Chuang said with a smug look on his face.

He had already decided who would help him manage this business.

"This...this..."

"Such a touching story!"

"Brother Chuang...give me the rest of the story!"

"No, stop spacing out and start writing!"

Lin Ruxue said urgently.

She had planned everything perfectly, but she never expected that Su Chuang, that blockhead, could write such a moving love story!

"Um... Ruxue... This was just something I came up with on a whim."

"I haven't thought about the follow-up content yet, you have to give me some time."

Su Chuang was speechless.

"Ah... then you have to promise me that you'll send it to me as soon as you update!"

Lin Ruxue put her hands on her hips and said.

Su Chuang also noticed that Lin Ruxue had her maid carefully tidy up the story he had just written.

"Of course...but...Ru Xue, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"What kind of help?"

"I also have a storybook in my mind, the quality of which is about the same as the one you just read, A Chinese Ghost Story."

"Therefore, I want to make some money with these storybooks."

Su Chuang said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Um…"

"Ru Xue, I will definitely not let you work for nothing. We will split the profits fifty-fifty."

Seeing Lin Ruxue deep in thought, Su Chuang assumed she was unwilling.

Therefore, he said urgently.

"Hehehe... No need for that, I'll just take one layer as a token."

"However, you must promise me one thing."

Lin Ruxue blinked her bright, large eyes and said in a clear voice.

"What is it?"

"Don't even mention one item, even if it were hundreds or thousands, I would agree without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Su Chuang spoke with unwavering conviction.

"Hehehe... Simple, except you have to give me the updated manuscript as soon as possible..."

"You also need to accompany me to Guangming Temple in the northwest."

After Lin Ruxue finished speaking, she pulled Su Chuang away regardless of whether he wanted to or not.

"Forehead…"

"A temple? Me, a grown man..."

Su Chuang's heartbeat was as steady as a rock, but he showed a troubled expression on his face at the right time, and he slowed down his pace intentionally or unintentionally.

"The Guangming Temple is the most effective place to pray for marriage."

"Brother Chuang, don't you want to give it a try?"

Lin Ruxue interrupted him, the corners of her mouth seemingly curving slightly beneath her veil.

Eyes facing each other.

Su Chuang could tell that Lin Ruxue seemed to have something on her mind.

"My lord, I sense a faint murderous aura emanating from the direction of Guangming Temple. It would be best if we didn't go there."

Yue Fei then quickly approached Su Chuang and whispered something in his ear.

"Um…"

"Ru Xue... could I go with you another day?"

Su Chuang asked.

"Brother Chuang...you have no idea how much Father has aged these past few days, it's made him look so much older."

"I didn't have any gray hair before, but now two-thirds of my head is covered with it!"

"I see this in my heart, and it pains me deeply."

"There was no other way but to come to Guangming Temple to pray for my father's well-being..."

"If you don't want to come, I won't force you."

After saying this, Lin Ruxue sadly loosened her grip on Su Chuang's hand.

As Su Chuang watched Lin Ruxue's retreating figure, he felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart for some reason.

"Sigh... Oh well... What's meant to be will be.

He shook his head, and after relaying the message to a nearby Imperial Guard, he quickly caught up with Lin Ruxue.

"Ru Xue!"

"Wait for me!"

"Whatever happens, we'll face it together. I don't trust you to go alone!"

Su Chuang gave Lin Ruxue a reassuring smile.

Then, pulling the other person along, they continued towards Guangming Temple.

Little did they know, in a secluded corner not far away, someone was watching Su Chuang and his group.

"Proceed according to plan!"

"Success is the only option; failure is not an option!"
