“Thank you for your praise, uncles and esteemed elders.” Su Yingxue ingratiated herself with the eiders. During their conversations, she learned that some of them had physical inconveniences due to their age. She even provided them with prescriptions for tonics, which further endeared her to the clan elders.
Outside the door, Su Yurou gritted her teeth so hard that they felt like they might shatter!
The elders of the Su family all praised Su Yingxue, commending her grace and noble status as a legitimate daughter.
But this was all praise for Su Yurou in the past!
She was also a daughter of the Su family!
“Miss, please bear with it. When our madam enters the manor, she will definitely teach Eldest Young Miss a good lesson. She and Eldest Young Master are both motherless children. How can they compare to you and Second Young Master?” Yuan Ruo advised from the side.
Su Yurou looked at the triumphant Su Yingxue and gritted her teeth. “Su Yingxue, wait until my mother enters the Marquis’s Manor, and you’ll meet your end!”
Su Dingheng chose an auspicious day and set the marriage. He even sent an invitation to his colleagues and friends in the court to attend the Marquis’s Manor for a wedding banquet.
Those who were at odds with him and looked down on him had all come this time after receiving the invitation. He even sent someone to deliver the invitation to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.
Little did Su Dingheng expect that Chu Yihan would also attend.
Su Dingheng was dressed in wedding robes and was welcoming guests at the entrance. When he saw Chu Yihan, he went forward to welcome him with a radiant face. “Your Highness, it is an honor for the Marquis’s Manor to have you here!”
Chu Yihan’s face was as cold as ice. He nodded slightly at him and went straight into the manor.
Su Dingheng thought that with Chu Yihan’s arrival, he would at least show some courtesy and offer a word of blessing.
However, Chu Yihan publicly ignored him , he felt instantly embarrassed.
Liang Jin came up and patted his shoulder. “Marquis, please don’t take offense. His Highness has always been . Even if the emperor wants to hear a pleasant word from His Highness, it’s not that easy.”
He seemed to be consoling him, but there was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
Su Dingheng followed the cue, “Lord Liang is right. Welcome, Lord Liang. Please come in!”
Liang Jin also entered the manor. He had brought his wife with him today.
Mrs. Liang had recovered from her illness and was eager to express her gratitude to Su Yingxue in person.
Now that she had personally entered the Marquis’s Manor and saw Su Yingxue, she couldn’t wait to walk over and hold her hand. “Miss Su, Genius Doctor Su! I’ve missed you for a long time!”
“Helio, Mrs. Liang.” Su Yingxue greeted her with a smile. Seeing that Mrs. Liang’s complexion had improved, she took her pulse again. “Mrs. Liang’s body has recovered. You must have been very happy during this period. Your blood circulation has improved significantly.”
Mrs. Liang was surprised. “Miss Su, you’re really amazing! My husband has treated me very well during this period of time! Ever since 1 recovered from my illness, he…”
“Madam!” Liang Jin quickly pulled her back. “Miss Su is still unmarried. We shouldn’t discuss our private matters in front of her.”
Liang Jin found it funny and helpless. He had spoiled his wife. She had a lively personality and sometimes she would talk too much.
Mrs. Liang immediately covered her mouth. “Oh, 1 forgot. Miss Su is still a young lady!”
She blinked and apologized, “Miss Su, please don’t take offense. I’ll talk to you privately after you get married.”
“Please sit, Mrs. Liang.” Su Yingxue smiled awkwardly. She thought to herself that Mrs. Liang was indeed a girl spoiled by her husband.
“Su Yingxue, are you very happy today?” Chu Yihan’s cold voice was heard.
Su Yingxue turned around and was a little surprised. “Your Highness, you also honored us with your presence?”
“I received the invitation, so why can’t 1 come?” Chu Yihan didn’t receive a grand welcome from her and seemed a little displeased.
“Your Highness, please take a seat!” Su Yingxue smiled obsequiously.
Chu Yihan stepped forward and pinched her chin. He stared at her deeply. “Are you sincerely agreeing to your father taking a concubine? If you are unwilling, I can….”
