Chapter 54: The Wealthy Merchant Su Yusheng

but for everything. They felt that nothing was going smoothly.Yesterday, the imperial physicians gave Zong Taiwu an ultimatum, saying that only the acupuncturist who treated his injury could cure it....Zong Yulian cried all the way down the mountain. Sure enough, a carriage was parked on the path leading up the mountain, surrounded by guards.

In the carriage, Su Yusheng took a sip of tea and frowned, moving the cup away from his lips.

The attendant hurriedly took it.

"Young master, Heitu Town is experiencing a severe drought. Almost all water sources have dried up."

"This is groundwater brought back from fifty li outside the town by the mayor's family. It's barely clear and still drinkable."

"Bear with it for one more day, and when your wife returns we can go back to Mudouzhou."

Su Yusheng let out a snort of laughter, “Madam”

He rolled up his sleeves and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Someone as coarse as you, from such a remote village, dares to aspire to be the mistress of this young master"

The attendant's body trembled slightly, nervously swallowing his saliva.

"Young Master, could it be that Miss Zong is not able to satisfy you"

The young master of their house had a secret illness, and when it struck, he needed the blood of a maiden born on his birthday to suppress it.

When Su Yusheng was young, a divine doctor once treated him and prescribed a prescription to cure his illness.

The medicinal ingredients on this prescription are extremely rare and hard to find. Over the years, he has traveled to many places as a businessman in search of them.

Women who were bled to death did not live past half a year. He couldn't stay in one place, so he had to go out and find the herbs himself according to the prescription. When he fell ill, he would find a remote village and look for a woman whose birthdate matched the special criteria.

Using the excuse of looking for medicine, he took these women on a journey to find the next medicinal ingredient.

"Where's Zong Yulian Why hasn't she come back yet."

Su Yusheng had cold and sharp eyebrows, with a handsome appearance. Few women would refuse his marriage proposal.

Some even don't need him to open his mouth, they just eagerly come up to him.

Jong Yu-lian is one of them.

Last night, he only took out a silver ingot and easily kept the person.

"The little one goes out to take another look."

The attendant got out of the carriage. Su Yusheng glared at him and scowled, spilling the tea on the table.

It tastes like dirt, really not good.

Zong Yulian ran down the mountain crying all the way. From afar, she saw Su Yusheng's carriage. She paused for two seconds, then raised her foot and walked over.

"Madam, the young master has been waiting for you."

"Have you told everyone at home" the attendant hurried forward to ask.

Zong Yulian wiped away her tears and nodded.

Then, Su Yusheng got out of the carriage, still holding a cloak in his hand, a faint smile on his face.

"Why are you crying"

"Reluctant to leave your family"

His gentle smile now was a far cry from the man who had been drinking tea in the carriage just moments before. The attendant, sensing his shift in demeanor, bowed slightly and discreetly moved to a distance to keep watch.

Zong Yulian had never seen a young master as handsome and noble as Su Yusheng. He was rich, good-looking, and gentle to the bone.

Su Yusheng smiled at her, which immediately eased a lot of Zong Yulian's distress.

The brothers don't want her, and Su Lang wants her!

She nestled obediently into Su Yusheng's arms, feeling like she was dreaming. Her heart wasn't settled; she was about to leave home with an uncertain return date, and a bit of fear crept in.

So she desperately needed Su Yusheng to give her a definitive answer.

"Su Lang, today I leave with you, from then on I shall have no home."

She tilted her head slightly, gazing at the man's handsome profile, "Will you always be good to me"

Only Su Yusheng was good to her her whole life, and only then could she live a long and prosperous life of luxury.

Last night when I followed my uncle to town, I didn't actually have that many expectations. I wasn't looking for a perfect husband; I was just here for Su Yusheng's money.

After seeing Su Yusheng, Zong Yulian was at the age of a flower. She had been protected by her two older brothers since she was young, living a safe and carefree life, and was not worldly-wise.

It's not true that a man who is handsome and wealthy outside is definitely a good person.

She fell for Su Yusheng's feigned gentleness, listening to his sweet nothings whispered in her ear.

"Yulian, do you believe in love at first sight"

Zong Yulian's heart suddenly raced, she nodded, dazed and confused by Su Yusheng's charm.

She was love at first sight.

Could it be that Su Lang feels the same way about himself

"I feel the same way."

"I never believed in fate. As a young traveling merchant, I'd roamed far and wide, encountering all sorts of men and women."

Su Yusheng raised his hand to gently caress Zong Yulian's cheek.d anything but to pay lip service""You can't even hide your jealousy, I'm not blind you know. Nodding doesn't change a thing."Zong Yu pursed his lips and remained silent. He didn't dare retort, but he...
