Chu Yihan’s cold gaze focused on her. “Are you acquainted with Qin Muyan?”
Su Yingxue shook her head. “Not really. We just met recently. I…”
“Then, do you casually drink and chat with him? Now, I ask you to read a letter for me, and you refuse?” Chu Yihan pulled out a bamboo tube and tossed it aside.
He burned with anger, making Su Yingxue feel a twinge of pain.
Approaching him, Su Yinxue held Chu Yihan’s hand and explained, “I treated him to a meal, and he returned the favor. That’s all. That night, you said you had something important, so 1 had a meal with him. But you… Your important matter was having a meal with the Eldest Princess?
Su Yingxue pursed her lips. They were both eating, yet he threw a tantrum. Wouldn’t she be suspicious?
Not only was she suspicious, but she was a bit jealous.
“The important matter between me and her is more than just a meal. She proposed a marriage alliance between our nations to strengthen relations and power,” Chu Yihan stated coldly.
“Marriage? Is she planning to marry into the Great Cheng Dynasty? Become the emperor’s concubine?” Su Yingxue subconsciously thought that Han Yuwen, being such a proud princess, might not be interested even if she married a prince. Only the emperor, with the highest status, might catch her eye.
But then she wondered, if she wanted to marry the emperor, why invite Chu Yihan to dinner?
“She wants to marry you?” Su Yingxue’s eyes widened.
Chu Yihan’s eyes filled with pride. “My status naturally matches hers.”
Chu Yihan’s princess wouldn’t be much lower than an empress.
Han Yuwen had her eye on Chu Yihan!
“You… Did you agree?” Su Yingxue became nervous. He had proposed to her just a few days ago, promising to marry her!
Could it be that he wanted to marry Han Yuwen first and then take her as a concubine?
“Chu Yihan, I won’t share a husband with anyone! Forget about marrying me!” Su Yingxue was furious.
“A secondary consort?” Chu Yihan sneered and turned away.
His silence made Su Yingxue even more uneasy. “So that’s what you’re thinking! Her status is noble, and you’re tempted!”
Chu Yihan’s voice was filled with rage. Furious, he decided to ignore her.
Su Yingxue stormed out of his study, radiating a murderous aura. She even kicked over a pot of flowers in Chu Yihan’s courtyard.
“Chu Yihan, you scoundrel! You… You’re fickle!”
“You marry Han Yuwen and then want me as a concubine! I…”
Su Yingxue reached the entrance of the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, grinding her teeth. She wished she could tear down the Ninth Prince’s Mansion plaque and devour it, cursing Chu Yihan ten thousand times in her heart.
However, just as she was about to return to the residence in a fit of pique, she thought, why was she making things so difficult for herself?
Her mother had said that if she was angry, she should make others angry!
Why should she be the one to suppress her anger?
She turned around and rushed back to Chu Yihan’s study, kicking the door open and shouting, “Chu Yihan, forget about it!”
In the courtyard, the old steward frowned worriedly. “Did Your Highness and Miss Su quarrel? What should we do?”
Mo Qi was puzzled. “Logically, the master should be showing off his affection for her!”
Haven’t they both read the news in the bamboo tube?
In the study, Su Yingxue pushed Chu Yihan down and straddled him. Her beautiful face was fierce as she gripped Chu Yihan’s collar. “Chu Yihan, let me tell you. Since you said you’d marry me, you can only marry me! Don’t even think about marrying Han Yuwen and making me your concubine.. You’re not allowed to have such a beautiful dream!”
