Chapter 109

Ying Su, the First Emperor, plus the four hundred thousand-strong noble army!

But from his father's family letter, he felt it must be four powers!

The new emperor, the First Emperor, the nobles, and... our Meng family!

No!

The Meng family absolutely cannot be counted as one power!

This power should be attributed to the Eldest Young Master Prince Prince Fusu!

It's just... why!

Why must father and elder brother walk down such a dead-end path!

Meng Yi did not understand, yet it seemed he understood in his heart!

Among the many nobles of Great Qin, if we speak of who has the deepest friendship with the Eldest Young Master.

Besides the Meng family, who else is there?

No one!

And with the successive dramatic changes in Xianyang City, it is not only me who is panicked; father and elder brother are panicked too!

They fear, fear that once Ying Su secures the throne, he will strike at Prince Prince Fusu, and even more fear that once Prince Prince Fusu falls, the Meng family will also walk this dead-end path.

But... but... must we walk down this road of no return?

Meng Yi still could not accept it.

Yet he felt that given father and elder brother's wisdom and loyalty, they should not take such an extreme path!

But this letter...

Meng Yi's head throbbed terribly!

He truly could not figure out exactly how father and elder brother would handle this matter!

At Wang Jian's residence!

"Master!"

"Master!"

"The new emperor has arrived!"

At this moment, the old butler hurriedly reported!

Old Wang Jian sat in the courtyard basking in the sun!

Previously, whenever he heard this news, he would immediately run back to his room to feign illness.

But these past few days, as Ying Su came over each time, he discovered that Ying Su simply ignored him.

That's right!

During the previous visits, he would come to visit him immediately.

But these times, he comes every single day, yet every single day he comes, he never seeks him out, not even asking Wang Ben about him.

Every time he comes, he has Wang Li call Wang Lan out, and then... the two of them go straight into the small garden.

What exactly they do in the small garden, Wang Jian does not know, but... every time Ying Su leaves, Wang Lan's face is flushed red, her face overflowing with joy.

"Sigh!"

"What a sin!"

"What a sin!"

Old Wang Jian sighed again and again, yet he no longer wished to pretend.

At this very moment, he simply sat in the courtyard outside his room, boiling water on one side and brewing tea on the other!

And this tea thing was even sent to him by Li Si!

I must say, it tastes good!

Fragrant!

Although when first drinking it, there was a strange taste!

But... as one drinks more, one becomes somewhat unable to leave it!

It is too delicious!

Especially sitting in the courtyard brewing tea, it truly has a unique flavor!

It's just... this thing is truly expensive!

Just a palm-sized cake of tea leaves, yet it sells for six hundred coins!

And this one cake of tea leaves, I finished in a single day!

"Truly expensive!"

"Li Si, this thing is truly not a decent person!"

Wang Jian cursed while drinking!

But while cursing, he could not help but count how many cakes remained.

Two cakes, now only two cakes remain!

And it is not just the tea he loves to drink; even the books Li Si sold him, he could not put down!

I still remember when reading books before, one would hold a large bundle of thick bamboo slips!

Do not look at how many there are, but there really are not many characters; I could finish them in half a day.

But these books are different.

One volume of Lu Shi Chunqiu is no thicker than a finger; ten volumes are not even palm-thick!

Convenient!

Truly convenient!

You must know, in the past, this thing would have to be hauled by cart!

But convenient as it is, it's still expensive!

That kid Li Si has drilled right into the eye of money!

Just this single copy of Lu Lu Shi Chunqiu, he dares to sell for four hundred coins; ten copies down, that's four thousand coins!

Yet even so, the buyers are countless, flocking to it like ducks!

A whole cartload of books, and yet... less than an hour after they were brought back, they were snatched and sold out!

If it weren't for the fact that my relationship with Li Si is strong enough, I wouldn't even be able to buy one.

In the courtyard, Wang Jian was brewing tea and reading.

Yet his mind kept drifting to the small garden!

He always worried that Wang Lan and Ying Su might have something happen between them.

But... worrying is useless!

If Ying Su wants to see Wang Lan, he truly cannot stop him!

"Lan'er, be modest!"

"Ying Su is truly not outstanding; don't be bewitched by him!"

"That kid is a bad seed, a huge bad seed!"

In the courtyard, Wang Jian kept praying!

And perhaps his prayers took effect, or perhaps for some unknown reason.

Wang Lan and Ying Su actually came out of the garden!

Through the patterned gaps in the courtyard wall, he saw clearly that the two had come out.

It was just... when he saw the two of them, he nearly had his nose twisted off from anger!

Because... he noticed that the two were actually holding hands?

And moreover, that dead girl Wang Lan actually jumped up and kissed Ying Su on the cheek?

Then, the two walked outside with extreme intimacy!

"This... this... what the hell?"

At that moment, old Wang Jian was so angry his whole body was twitching.

Right then and there, he wished he could rush out immediately and separate their hands!

But... when he saw Ying Su turn his head and look toward the courtyard wall, he shrank back in fright and quickly hid again.

After a long while, when he stood up, he could no longer see the two of them!

"This... this..."

"What the hell!"
