Chapter 185.1: How Considerate I Am (1/2)

It was a pity, he didn’t keep that beauty and chose a path completely opposite of what Master wanted for him.

Collecting his thoughts, Jun Xin walked back and asked, “How do you know?”

Yuner showed him the rock he had rubbed till smooth and smiled innocently. “I divined it!”

Divined it?

Jun Xin nodded with an unclear expression. “Then tell me, what did you find out?”

However, Yuner didn’t obediently answer him this time and instead opened his clear eyes wide and threatened him while looking very scared. “As long as Big Brother Jun Xin agrees to one thing for me, I’ll tell Big Brother Jun Xin where they went and news about the person you’re looking for.”

This kid actually dared to pressure him?

He looked at those fawn-like eyes. He could easily ask his subordinates and get the information he wanted but… Jun Xin smiled seamlessly and said, “Speak, what is it?”

When Yuner saw that he seemed inclined to agree, he blurted out excitedly, “Help me save Big Sister San Yu!”

As expected, this was it. “Is San Yu really that important to you?”

For the sake of that girl, not only had he been driven out of the Prime Minister Residence by his own father, his father even severed their father-son ties. He even had to live on the streets for more than a month as a beggar, yet he didn’t seem to care about any of this. The only thing he cared about was San Yu. Every time he saw someone he had met before, he would say this same sentence, ‘help me save Big Sister San Yu.’

It was just a shame that when he was in the Prime Minister Residence, he was treated as a fool and often jeered at. Now that he had fallen to this level, even fewer people were willing to help him.

There was no one willing to send coal into the snow, but there were plenty of people who would throw stones at someone who fell down a well.

Despite having encountered so many people like that, he didn’t complain or show any anger at all, and still only thought about saving San Yu.

Could it be that he had feelings towards that girl?

“Big Sister San Yu is the most important person to Yuner. Yuner swore before that Yuner would protect Big Sister San Yu for an entire lifetime, but Yuner is very useless. Yuner can’t do a single thing, Yuner can’t do a single thing…”

All of this, from the solemn vow to the helpless sobs were all so pure and sincere. It caused Jun Xin to be moved. He looked towards Yuner and said, “I’ll help you get San Yu out, but you also have to promise me one thing.”

“As long as you save Big Sister San Yu, even if it’s ten things, a hundred, Yuner would still agree!” Jun Xin’s words gave Yuner a lot of hope. Originally he wanted to ask Tang Doudou to help, but after Tang Doudou came back, if she wasn’t busy to the point that she was barely around, she was missing due to some reason or another. She was simply too busy to pay attention to his matters.

Now that he saw Jun Xin intended to help, he immediately shifted his hopes to Jun Xin.

“Alright. However, once you’ve promised me something, you’re not allowed to go back on your word. Otherwise…” Jun Xin allowed his cold aura to spread and pressured Yuner to the point he could barely breathe. “I can help you get San Yu out, but I can also send her right back in.”

Yuner nodded fearfully. Currently, he couldn’t guess Jun Xin’s intentions at all. He didn’t know what Jun Xin wanted to know, but he had always been good at sensing things. As of now, he had a premonition that once San Yu was saved, they’d have to bid each other farewell, perhaps forever.

Jun Xin’s efficiency didn’t require much explanation. He went directly to Xi Qiulin and demanded for the person. San Yu was the princess of the previous dynasty so Xi Qiulin naturally refused to release her. However, once Jun Xin said he’d guaranteed that San Yu wouldn’t return to Huai City nor ever scheme to overthrow the current reign, he finally agreed to allow Jun Xin to find a substitute.

With that, he only needed to execute the substitute and the world would no longer have a princess from the previous dynasty. This would safeguard his hold on imperial power.

As for Jun Xin, he didn’t care as long as he could get San Yu out.
