They all want me to be the villain

Fear, despair, uneasiness.

In the waiting room, this is the true portrayal of the stewards who woke up, and the last bit of luck began to disappear.

"It's not our fault."

Fear makes people angry, and the overly-feared steward roared. They are just a group of ordinary people. Even if some of them have some cultivation, they are not high. How can people with advanced cultivation be willing to live under someone else's roof?

But what can they do? The prince is born to be powerful.

They are just a group of powerless weaklings, poor worms clinging to the big tree of the Shonan Palace.

"Right and wrong are meaningless. Tell me why you went to Crouching Tiger Mountain."

The three words "Wohu Mountain" were like a death sentence. The stewards who struggled to hold themselves up from collapsing to the ground felt cold all over.

"If we tell you, can you let our family go?"

"What do you think?"

"Six months ago, a mysterious man came to me. He said that I would no longer need to depend on others in the future, and that I could live the rest of my life in glory and wealth. My wife and children could proudly tell others that they are not the wives or sons of servants."

"I refused at first."

"You agreed later, didn't you?" Su Ye sneered. He obviously couldn't restrain his desire, so don't make any excuses. There's no need.

"Once, twice, three times... He came more and more often, and I gradually began to believe him, and he gave us a reason we couldn't refuse."

"Those of us are not talented enough, and some of us cannot practice cultivation, but who doesn't want to live forever, and who doesn't want to live a few more years."

"When I arrived at Crouching Tiger Mountain, I found that many people had gathered there."

"The memory after that is gone, but the vitality in my body tells me that it is real."

Faced with such an answer, Su Ye smiled. It's great. In order to make him a villain, the plan started half a year ago. What a deliberate plan!

He took a deep breath. Seeing this, Xiao Ruo beside him rubbed Su Ye's temples worriedly. Su Ye shook his head and tried to make his tone less harsh.

"Do you know the consequences of your actions? Can you afford it? Greed and desire must be based on the ability to realize them. Otherwise, greed will lead to death."

The stewards looked ashen and tried to calmly say: "Please calm down, Your Majesty. We will use our lives to make up for the harm to our family."

For all their efforts, this is the only life they have left.

"good."

Su Ye nodded.

"However, you will not be able to return to Chang'an in this life, and your descendants will not be able to escape slavery within three generations."

"..."

The stewards were silent, and then nodded heavily, at least they still had something to think about.

Uncle Quan looked at this scene, and he looked so furious just now that he wanted to kill someone. He thought Su Ye was going to go on a killing spree, so he was going to the study to invite the princess.

Although slaves were inferior to others in Daxia, they could not take their lives at will. With so many people, not even the Prince of Shonan could withstand the overwhelming crowd.

Next, Su Ye would not need to worry about settling the families of this group of people and sending them to the far north to dig for spiritual stones.

So, Su Ye and Xiaoruo returned to the other courtyard, and Su Quan went to the princess to report the information.

…

In the other courtyard, Su Ye was sitting at the desk, and Xiao Ruo beside him was about to speak but stopped talking.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask. If you hide it for a long time, it's easy to think too much."

"Your Majesty, why did you let them go in the end? It's obvious that they have done such an outrageous thing."

"Who said I let them go? It won't be long before they know what true regret is."

"What is it?"

"We can't say yet."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and a familiar voice came.

"Brother Su, are you there? Yan'er is here to see you."

Su Ye raised the corners of his mouth, saving him the time to find Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan is now a key figure. Only she can let Liang Qingshan reveal his trump card. It is not easy to just hold Zhu Yan, lure the snake out of the hole, and catch the big fish.

Impossible for the Air Force!

Zhu Yan pushed open the door to the other courtyard. Brother Su was busy with family affairs these days, and she couldn't easily go to the outer courtyard. Now that she came to Su Ye, she really couldn't sit still. She wanted to know why Brother Su gave her such a precious gift.

gift, but never came to her.

Looking at the shimmering bracelet on her wrist, Zhu Yan held it tightly with her other hand. Brother Su had given her many gifts that she liked since she was a child, but she liked this bracelet so much for some reason.

Sometimes people are like this. When someone who has been by their side suddenly leaves, they feel very lost and feel empty in their hearts. When that person shows signs of coming back, they start to think wildly and try to conquer themselves.

After entering the other courtyard, she didn't see Su Ye at first. Zhu Yan found Xiao Ruo coming out and asked, "Xiao Ruo, where is Brother Su?"

"The prince is dealing with things in the house."

Zhu Yan was a little disappointed, but soon cheered up. It wasn't that Brother Su didn't come to see her, it was just that he was too busy.

At this time, she noticed the wooden hairpin on Xiao Ruo's head. Xiao Ruo had been treated like a maid since she was a child. Although she was just Su Ye's personal maid, no one dared to despise her and take away her monthly money.

"Xiao Ruo, your wooden hairpin is so beautiful. Is it a love token given to you by some young man?"

In Zhu Yan's heart, that person couldn't be Su Ye, because Su Ye would not take out such a shabby thing.

Xiaoruo didn't shake his head or nod.

Zhu Yan thought Xiao Ruo was shy, so she said earnestly: "Xiao Ruo, if you have anything to tell me, I will help you analyze it."

"Miss Zhu is joking, Xiao Ruo only wears this hairpin because she likes it, but the bracelet on your wrist is quite extraordinary."

"Then..." Zhu Yan suppressed her desire to share, tried to calm down, and said with a smile: "The same."

When the two girls entered the room, Zhu Yan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Su Ye, as if to say, look at Brother Su, I'm putting it on.

Su Ye turned a blind eye and said calmly: "Why are you here?"

"oh."

"I just came to take a look." Zhu Yan was a little disappointed, as if she was wearing it, it was as if she wasn't wearing it.

"Brother Su?"

"Huh?" Su Ye raised his head.

"Brother Su, I've been out for so many days, and the college's classes are going to be delayed. Tomorrow..."

Su Ye didn't give Zhu Yan a chance to finish her words and showed a bright smile.

"Yan'er, you came just in time. Prince Tomorrow invites us to Sihai Tower. You two just had a quick look last time. He also wants to know how you are doing in the academy."

"Do you remember Sihailou? We used to go there often. At that time, you were still clamoring for me to steal lessons and cook for you every day."

"Sihai Tower..." Zhu Yan fell into memories.

"Yeah."

"It's been a long time since I've eaten food from Sihailou. Woohoo, the food in the college is so terrible."

On Zhu Yan's waist, a jade talisman was shining. It was a simple sound-transmitting jade talisman.

"Yan'er, someone is looking for you."

Zhu Yan woke up from her memories, subconsciously picked up the jade talisman and said, "I'm with Brother Su now. I'll talk to you later."

…

I heard that there will be a lot of votes and follow-up readings in the third update. Is it true? Mengxin wants to know.
