Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

Chapter 21 The Beauty Emperor's Love and Career

Moonlight streamed down again through the gaps in the clouds, gently enveloping the land.

Upon hearing Yun Suisi's words, Su Rancang was slightly taken aback, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile that was barely perceptible.

She reached out and took the food box, her tone softening slightly as she asked, "How did you know I liked this, brother?"

Yun Suisi lowered his eyes, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "You're my sister."

Su Rancang did not expect this answer: "Oh."

Yun Sui Si: "Let's tidy up here and go back. Aren't you going to take me and Jun Sui sightseeing tomorrow?"

Su Rancang mustered her courage and asked cautiously, "Brother, didn't you find what happened just now scary?"

After Su Rancang finished speaking, a hint of trepidation and unease appeared in her eyes. She stared intently at Yun Suisi, waiting for his reply.

A hand suddenly reached out in front of me; it was long and strong, with fingers as white as jade.

Su Rancang was slightly taken aback, his gaze slowly moving upwards along the hand, finally landing on Yun Suisi's face.

Yun Suisi gently shook his head and said:

“A person who grows up in a brothel has seen the coldness and warmth of human relationships and the fickleness of the world, and will often be thoughtful and considerate.”

When faced with choices, they will weigh the pros and cons and make the decision that is most beneficial to themselves.

Just like when we first met.

When you wake up, you'll see my and Jun Sui's clothes, demeanor, and our willingness to save people without fear of retaliation, and you'll know that we are not ordinary people.

If a maid can save someone without her master's permission, it shows that the master is kind-hearted and tolerant towards his servants.

You could only take a gamble at the time, but you had your own plans in mind. This kind of person is not a clueless little rabbit.

As it turns out, you made the right bet.

Besides, they weren't good people; on the contrary, they were heinous criminals. Killing them was doing a service to the people.

Su Rancang seemed to understand something, then suddenly realized: "Oh~, just like when my brother had to use bloody methods to suppress corrupt officials, so he didn't care much about this scene!"

Yun Suisi: "..."

If you're going to talk about yourself, why drag me into this?

Su Rancang looked at the hand extended in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally placed his own hand on it.

Yun Suisi used a little force to pull Su Rancang up.

"What I'm doing now is pulling you up. Getting you out of the swamp that keeps seeping into you."

At this moment, the moonlight became even brighter, shining on Su Rancang and enveloping her completely, making her feel warm.

Life always leaves us battered and bruised, but in the end, those wounded places will become our strongest points.

????????????

"Greetings, Lord Su. You're here for another inspection?"

"Lord Su, thank you so much! Otherwise, my son would have been wrongly accused and killed. This is food that my family made ourselves. It's clean and tidy. Please don't mind it, take it!"

"Lord Jun, thank you so much! The wealthy man in our village was bullying us, and you punished him without hesitation, upholding justice for us poor folks. This is our village's harvest; the food made from it will be delicious. Please accept it!"

"Greetings, Lord Jun. Thank you for establishing this school. My child passed the preliminary examination this year. This is a gift from my family to express our gratitude. Please accept it."

"..."

Su Rancang and Jun Lique strolled through the market with their brother. As soon as they appeared, the people gathered around them, expressing their gratitude in a flurry of voices.

Su Rancang smiled as he looked at the excited people and said, "We appreciate everyone's good intentions, but officials are supposed to work for the well-being of the people, and this is what we should do."

Jun Lique echoed, "Lord Su is right. This is my duty, so there's no need for a thank-you gift."

Looking at the people's attitude, Yun Suisi knew that they were truly good officials who cared about the people and had fulfilled their promise made at Qionglin Garden.

"Lord Su? Lord Jun? You must be Su Licang and Jun Lique?"

A sudden voice rang out, and everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound.

He was a beggar, and he was filthy.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered in dirt, and her tattered clothes swayed slightly in the wind.

But there was a strange light in her eyes, as if they held many stories.

Among the common people, someone shouted, "That's right, these two are our good officials of Youzhou, Su Rancang, Lord Su, and Jun Lique, Lord Jun."

Su Rancang and Jun Lique exchanged a glance, then looked at the beggar with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Su Rancang took a small step forward and asked gently, "Do you know us?"

The beggar raised his head, staring intently at them, and slowly said, "Are you really Lord Su and Lord Jun? Then I have a question I would like to ask Lord Su."

Su Rancang: "Go ahead and ask."

Beggar: "May I ask, Lord Su, what is the name of your close friend from school?"

Upon hearing this question, Su Rancang raised an eyebrow: "Call me... call me a close classmate."

Everyone:...

what? !

The beggar's eyes lit up, as if a certain guess in his heart had been confirmed.

Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Lord Su, I have something important to tell you. Could we talk away from the crowd?"

Su Rancang was slightly taken aback. Looking at the beggar's anxious yet mysterious expression, a sense of doubt welled up in his heart.

Yun Suisi spoke up at the right moment: "Ayu, let's go back. You've seen enough today."

Su Rancang turned to look at Yun Suisi and the surrounding people, and after a moment's thought, said, "Alright, come with me."

Back in the courtyard, she immediately knelt down and burst into tears, which slid down her dirty face and dripped onto the ground.

Su Rancang frowned slightly, reached out to help her up, and said, "If you have something to say, get up and talk. There's no need for this."

She stubbornly remained kneeling, sobbing as she said, "Lord Su, please save my husband."

This woman's name was Chang Xiangsi. She was the wife of Fu Laigui, a close friend and classmate of Su Rancang and Jun Lique.

The two were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little, and even their names were taken from the saying, "If I live, I will return; if I die, I will long for you forever."

After passing the imperial examination with flying colors, Fu Laigui truly lived up to his wife's expectations, enjoying a happy and fulfilling life with her and managing his territory in an orderly manner.

As the saying goes, "The weather is unpredictable, and misfortune can strike at any moment."

One day, Fu Laigui went to the mountains to search for some special medicinal herbs because his elderly mother needed them. He accidentally discovered a gold mine!

After Fu Laigui descended the mountain, he looked at the gold in his basket and wondered how to report it to the imperial court.

However, they encountered a group of thieves who were gathered in an open space not far away, discussing something intensely.

Fu Laigui didn't want to cause any more trouble and wanted to leave quietly, but the accents they spoke surprised him greatly—they were foreigners!

Fu Laigui decided to leave quietly without alerting the enemy, but he was just a scholar, how could he compare to the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared foreign spies?

After being captured, one of the people who spoke the Great Yan language recognized Fu Laigui's identity and took him to the Fu family home, where he was forced to reveal the origin of the gold in the basket and the location of the gold mine.

As an official of the Great Yan Dynasty, it was impossible for him to say such things. Fu Laigui glared at the thief, his lips tightly pressed together, and remained silent.

During the period of severe torture, he discovered that the people in a village were all foreigners!

They also kidnapped people to prepare for mining operations.

In order to protect the people, his family, and the gold mine, he told his wife about the matter in a way that only he and his wife knew, so that she could escape from the Fu family.

Go to the nearest city, Youzhou, to seek help from Su Rancang and Jun Lique.

Chang Xiangsi's face was covered in tears: "After I escaped, I was penniless and dared not tell anyone about this. I could only beg my way to Youzhou to find you two gentlemen."

I implore you two gentlemen to save my husband and the people there.
