Chapter 1226: Chapter 35: The Joyful Debt (Part 11)_2
Zhao Xu was drinking tea when Su Yang walked in and called out, "Brother Zhao."
Zhao Xu looked at Su Yang—
Hmm.
He looked dignified and impressive, but because he was hurried, his forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat.
Su Yang had disguised himself again.
Yesterday, while looking for someone on the street, he was spotted by the Hidden Guards from the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
With no other choice, he had to change his face.
Now, walking down the street with this face, it attracted countless young ladies’ frequent glances.
But looking like this, he was still somewhat different from the Su Young Master in Zhao Xu’s memory.
"Disguised?" he said.
Su Yang nodded slightly.
He reached out his hand and tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.
Eunuch Li was dumbfounded.
He already thought the Second Young Master of East Town Marquis Mansion looked good, but he didn’t expect it was a disguise.
His real appearance was more than ten times handsome.
And what’s more, his skin was quite fair, much fairer than Princess Yinchuan’s at least.
Eunuch Li: "...."
Zhao Xu: "...."
Hmm.
Originally, Su Yang wasn’t this fair-skinned.
This was due to always wearing the human skin mask; to prevent any rashes from poor air circulation, he used ointment on his face.
Su Jin personally concocted the ointment, which had a whitening effect.
Although men didn’t need fair skin, being fair wasn’t a bad thing.
In just a couple of months without exposure to the sun, his skin became a lot fairer.
Zhao Xu thought he absolutely shouldn’t let him meet Princess Yinchuan, otherwise he’d be even less willing to marry her.
Zhao Xu looked at him and asked, "Why are you running away from the marriage?"
Su Yang looked sullen, "I don’t want to marry Princess Beimo, and since the engagement can’t be broken, I can only flee."
Zhao Xu wanted to persuade Su Yang a bit, but at this point, persuasion was useless.
Because Su Yang wasn’t the only one who had fled the marriage.
The other one had fled too and was still in the palace at this moment.
The Empress probably already knows about Su Yang sneaking into the palace to find him, right?
Su Yang caused a sensation when he came to Nanlin, Zhao Xu wasn’t surprised at all, but he was a bit curious, "I see you look anxious, did something happen?"
"I’m in a hurry to enter the palace because there’s something I want Brother Zhao to help me with," Su Yang said.
Zhao Xu looked at him, "Go ahead."
Su Yang took out the portrait of Princess Yinchuan from his chest.
Two of them.
One was a portrait of her dressed as a man.
The other was of herself as a woman.
"I’m looking for her," Su Yang said.
Su Yang stood right in front of Zhao Xu.
Seeing the woman in the portrait, Zhao Xu was directly bewildered.
Eunuch Li’s eyes widened.
This... isn’t this Princess Yinchuan?!
Zhao Xu looked at Su Yang, "Who is this girl...?"
"Brother Zhao doesn’t recognize her?" Su Yang was surprised.
"She claims to be of the royal family."
Zhao Xu: "...."
Princess Yinchuan claiming to be of the royal family isn’t a problem at all.
However, he was curious as to how they knew each other.
After asking, he found out that the two not only knew each other but had known each other quite early.
The two fugitives from marriage met just as they entered Nanlin.
Su Yang explained truthfully, then said, "Since she’s of the royal family and her surname is Zhao, don’t you recognize her, Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Xu’s head started to ache again.
Should he tell him that the one he’s looking for is actually his runaway fiancée?
Forget it.
Better ask first and then decide whether to say it or not.
Zhao Xu glanced at the portrait and said, "She does look somewhat familiar, just not that dark-skinned."
Su Yang: "...."
"How did she become so dark-skinned?" Zhao Xu asked.
"...."
Zhao Xu refrained from asking Princess Yinchuan; since Su Yang traveled with her, he surely knew the reason.
Su Yang hesitated.
Zhao Xu rarely saw him like this.
This hardly seemed like the Young Master Su he knew.
"Could it have to do with you?" Zhao Xu guessed.
He guessed correctly.
Having already guessed it right, Su Yang didn’t hide it anymore, "I didn’t know she was a woman, seeing her physique was too frail, and she was alone here, bored, I thought to train her to be a bit stronger."
Zhao Xu: "...."
Eunuch Li: "...."
Zhao Xu almost choked on his own saliva.
Su Yang was very annoyed, "Don’t look at me like that, I already know I was wrong."
Zhao Xu raised his hand to cover his face.
To prevent Su Yang from seeing his laughter.
Running away from marriage and encountering the fiancée, then making her darker than himself... what kind of absurd coincidence is this?
Zhao Xu lowered his hand, adopting a serious expression, "You’ve made such a fuss of a young lady, what do you plan to do?"
"Marry her," Su Yang replied straightforwardly.
"...."
He hadn’t even pressed him for marriage and the other party had willingly decided to marry.
Zhao Xu was momentarily at a loss for words.
He coughed lightly and said, "Then what about Princess Yinchuan?"
"Of course, break off the engagement," Su Yang said decisively.
"...."
Eunuch Li stood aside, almost suffocating from internal injury.
Breaking off the engagement and marrying the other party, what’s the intention of all this?
Zhao Xu’s mind quickly figured out what to do about this matter.
He looked at Su Yang and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll find her for you, but first, go have some refreshments at the side hall."
