Chu Yihan’s icy eyes held a hint of disappointment.
He wanted to marry Su Yingxue as soon as possible but on Su Yingxue’s side… there seemed to be no progress.
And did Old General Su’s words tonight intentionally target him?
To outsiders, Chu Yihan seemed untouchable and beyond reach with his military power and influence in the court.
But his woman was no fool!
“Your Highness, although I don’t know what’s happened since this joyous occasion has taken its first step, there’s no reason to halt it, otherwise it’s inauspicious! If Your Majesty Shu Fei’s spirit were to see this from above, she’d be saddened! She truly desires to witness your marriage!”
The old steward felt a surge of affection.
Having served in the palace for years, he naturally wished the best for his master.
“Yes, even Mother desires to see it. Let’s not halt preparations, continue.”
Chu Yihan’s lips curled up slightly. He trusted Su Yingxue. Even if Old General Su disagreed, he would prove himself worthy of Su Yingxue’s trust.
In the Qilin Garden, Su Miaoyan, armed with Chu Yihan’s command, forcefully boarded Su Yingxue’s carriage.
Su Yingxue tossed the medicine box to her and cautioned her, “The medicine box is over there. I’ll allow you to visit Xiao Yu, but remember, Qilin Garden isn’t safer than the palace. If you dare to wander…”
“Sister, you will send me home, right?” Su Miaoyan blinked mischievously, her mouth curved like a fox’s.
Su Yingxue’s lips quirked. “You’re clever. You know that 1’11 send you home, not the Marquis’s Manor!”
“Oh, it’s easy to guess. If I’m sent back to the Marquis’s Manor, I just need to act cute with Grandpa, and it’ll blow over. Next time, I can even beg Ninth Prince to bring me to see handsome brother. But if I’m sent home, Mother won’t let me out again!”
Su Miaoyan saw through Su Yingxue’s intentions.
“Your little brain is quite sharp. I’ll consider doing surgery on you someday to see if there’s anything different inside your head.”
Su Yingxue ruffled Su Miaoyan’s hair.
Su Miaoyan immediately panicked, holding her head and shouting, “Sister, 1 was wrong! I won’t be mischievous anymore. I’ll listen to you obediently and won’t wander around Qilin Garden!”
Her sister was indeed scary!
That surgical tool could open up stomachs and even heads…
Su Miaoyan imagined herself lying on the operating table with her head opened by Su Yingxue.
No, no, it was too scary!
What if Su Yingxue couldn’t sew her head back?
Su Miaoyan decided she would never tease Su Yingxue again.
Su Yingxue disciplined Su Miaoyan and snorted, “That’s more like it!”
Su Miaoyan pouted, “1 know you’re scaring me and won’t cut open my head, but there’s someone else’s head. I suggest you open it!”
Su Yingxue raised an intrigued eyebrow.
“Su Jinxuan! He’s sinister and strange. Every time 1 see him, I feel like his smile is as fake as a puppet’s. And lately, he’s been running to Grandpa’s. Grandpa even gave him a military book!”
Su Miaoyan puffed up her cheeks, speaking seriously.
Su Yingxue pondered for a moment. “What Grandfather wants to give him is Grandfather’s business. We can’t interfere.. Did you notice anything else strange about Su Jinxuan?”
