I'll Give You Five Million to Leave My Son
Can this indirectly complete that side quest?
Lin Luo was dumbfounded, watching as his accumulated Lottery Points suddenly soared by two thousand, almost offsetting the loss from exchanging for the Might of the God King.
Qian Renxue was so angry that she cried, something Lin Luo had never expected.
Based on my previous understanding of Qian Renxue, I thought she would at most give me a serious scolding, or perhaps gossip about who her early romantic partner was and ask all sorts of questions.
But Lin Luo hadn't expected to be so angry that she cried.
Little did they know, Qian Renxue's grievances had been building up since yesterday and had only just erupted.
At the entrance to the palace, She Long and the Pufferfish looked at each other in surprise and remained silent.
The young master entered the palace at the age of nine, and from then on he developed a very independent personality. He would take the initiative to solve problems on his own and never seek help.
This stems from her stubborn personality and her strong belief in her own abilities. She would never have cried and begged for help like this before, let alone when she was a child.
Therefore, the first thought that came to She Long and the Pufferfish's minds was that their young master had truly encountered an unprecedented crisis!
This is just a hassle...
Is my son in a relationship too early?
That sounds a bit unsettling.
This is actually a major problem the young master is facing? Pfft.
Seeing Qian Renxue crying her eyes out, She Long and Pufferfish couldn't bring themselves to laugh. If this young lady were to transfer her anger to them, they would be finished.
She Long glanced at the Pufferfish, then hesitated before tentatively asking Qian Renxue, "Young Master, are you really angry because of your son's early romance?"
"... What other reason could there be? How old is he?! How can he be in a relationship so young? This is outrageous!"
Qian Renxue retorted without hesitation.
She Long, however, disagreed.
In his opinion, considering the expectant expression on Qian Renxue's face when she heard Lin Luo preparing the gift yesterday, he had reason to suspect that Qian Renxue was jealous of that "young master's wife".
Because the flowers her son had carefully prepared weren't given to her, but instead to some unknown, stinky girl.
This made Qian Renxue, who had enjoyed the young master's "love" exclusively for so long, extremely resentful.
Of course, as a subordinate, She Long could not expose his master's stingy behavior to his face.
Whoever their master was dissatisfied with, he and She Long would target that person. There was no right or wrong in this matter, only loyalty.
She Long, with his seasoned experience, said, "First, we need to find out who the young master's love interest is at the academy. Only by finding out that ungrateful brat can we address the problem effectively and nip their relationship in the bud."
"Such a tiny thing, what's the point of talking about the development of a relationship? It's utterly absurd." Qian Renxue spat, extremely disdainful.
The Pufferfish chuckled, "Once we find that little girl, things will be much easier. We'll use a bit of coercion and bribery to keep her away from the young master, or she'll regret it."
"No." She Long suddenly frowned.
He explained, "The young master is very clever. Once he notices that the little girl's behavior is off, and connects it to what happened today, he will definitely think that this was arranged by the young master. If this causes a rift between them, then it would be a loss."
Upon hearing this, a hint of nervousness appeared on Qian Renxue's face, and she immediately nodded in agreement.
It's clear she cares a lot about this issue, and Lin Luo can't afford to have any distance between them.
"What should we do then?" Qian Renxue asked hurriedly.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Mom, I'm hungry. What are you doing?"
Lin Luo rubbed her eyes and came out.
Qian Renxue immediately turned around and scolded, "Get back! You still have the nerve to eat? Go hungry!"
"Alright, alright," Lin Luo hurriedly went back. In fact, he had come out specifically to see what Qian Renxue was doing, wondering if she had gone to a corner to cry quietly.
Seeing Qian Renxue chatting and laughing with She Long, he felt relieved.
After scolding Lin Luo away, Qian Renxue turned around with the demeanor of a strict mother, her imposing aura instantly intimidating She Long and the Pufferfish.
Nowadays, the young girls who used to keep their emotions hidden have evolved into fierce, short-tempered women.
They had this feeling for no apparent reason.
Pufferfish: "They're not easily swayed by force, so let's not coerce them, just offer incentives. If they're from ordinary families, give them money; if they're daughters of powerful sects, give them resources; if they're daughters of noble families, give them power. With the young master's status as the crown prince, that shouldn't be a problem."
"Woman, I'll give you 5 million, leave my son..." Qian Renxue thought for a moment and decided it was feasible.
She Long looked at the Pufferfish curiously. "You've improved a bit, you know how to treat the symptoms now."
The Pufferfish smiled and clasped its hands in a fist salute, "Thank you for your kind gesture!"
Before long, the palace maid brought the food back from outside the palace.
Because the chefs in the imperial kitchen suddenly "mutated," most people in the palace no longer eat the food prepared by the imperial kitchen, and most of them send palace maids to buy food outside the palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs were transformed into Meituan delivery riders in a Douluo version.
However, Xue Ye issued an order that no one could understand.
That means no matter how bad the food in the imperial kitchen is, you have to come and get your meal. As for what to do with the food, whether you throw it away or feed it to the dogs, it's up to you.
During the meal, Qian Renxue left the Crown Prince's palace and went straight to Xue Ke's residence.
She Long is right, we should first find out who our son's romantic interest is.
To Qian Renxue's disappointment, Xue Ke was unaware of this, and not only that, she inexplicably praised Lin Luo for being so "kind to others" at the academy.
The more she praised him, the more uneasy Qian Renxue felt. This meant that her son was definitely playing the role of a warm and caring man at school, a role that would never lack girls' secret crushes.
However, Xue Ke, keeping her promise to her brother, decided to investigate thoroughly for him. At the same time, she was also curious: given Lin Luo's terrible reputation at the academy, who would be so foolish as to want to date him?
The following day, at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The prince and his sister, who lived on campus, were summoned to the education commission's office early in the morning.
Upon seeing the people in the office, Xue Fu was overjoyed, while Xue Qian burst into tears of grievance.
The brother and sister both opened their arms and rushed towards each other, shouting, "Grandpa!"
Indeed, Prince Xue Xing was furious after hearing that his grandson had been beaten by Lin Luo at the academy yesterday, and came to the academy today.
Meng Shenji and the other two stood silently to the side. With the true power holder of the academy present, the three of them had completely become "subordinates."
Xue Xing cupped her grandson's face in her hands, examining it with a serious expression. Sure enough, his face was bruised and swollen.
He immediately and anxiously examined his granddaughter's face; it was as delicate as ever. Thankfully, Xue Fu had not been affected.
After completing the inspection, Xue Xing finally spoke in a serious tone, "What exactly happened?"
"Grandpa! My sister was bullied by that brat Lin Luo. She's his own sister, and I couldn't help but intervene..."
Xue Fu immediately turned her head and retorted, "I was the one who kissed him."
Xue Qian: "No difference."
In the eyes of a brother who dotes on his sister, it's clearly more serious for his sister to initiate a kiss than for him to be kissed.
