Su Yingxue looked at these meticulously prepared items and was deeply moved.
Even though her grandfather had always opposed her marriage to Chu Yihan, Chu Yihan had given her confidence.
She focused on choosing with the steward, and the household servants also contributed many ideas.
She was so absorbed in her selection that she didn’t notice someone approaching.
When Hong Lian saw how harmonious Su Yingxue was with the Ninth Prince’s Mansion’s servants, she couldn’t help but feel jealous!
She had visited the Ninth Prince’s Mansion more times and had known Your Highness longer. Why was Su Yingxue ultimately receiving this honor?
“Miss Su, what brings you here without an invitation?” Hong Lian chuckled. Even if Chu Yihan had shown interest in her, she wouldn’t let Su Yingxue off easily!
Su Yingxue raised her head slightly, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes. “Hong Lian…”
Was she the one discussing important matters with Chu Yihan?
Hong Lian’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction. “Surprised to see me, Miss Su? Do you think I would leave Your Highness just like that, never to interact with him again?”
Su Yingxue smirked. Fine, this was a provocation!
She held the red silk in her hand and smiled. “Of course, 1 wouldn’t think that. After all, dogs are hard to shake off!”
“Su Yingxue, are you calling me a dog?” Hong Lian’s voice became sharp.
“Isn’t that what you are? Can’t you see that all these things in the Ninth Prince’s Mansion were prepared for my wedding with Your Highness?”
Su Yingxue shrugged, kindly reminding Hong Lian.
“Wedding? You’re being too simplistic! Considering Your Highness’s status, why would he hastily decide on such an important matter? It’s not up to you to decide!” Hong Lian stared proudly.
Even though she had suffered a major loss at Su Yingxue’s hands, it wouldn’t deter her!
She knew Chu Yihan. Marrying someone wasn’t that easy!
And he was marrying Su Yingxue!
Su Yingxue couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. Hong Lian’s words were just nonsense!
“Hong Lian, why are you here drinking water?”
Seeing him, Hong Lian deliberately softened her tone. “Your Highness must be anxiously waiting for me, right? I’ll go immediately!”
Mo Qi thought this wasn’t good. He hadn’t let Su Yingxue in earlier because he was afraid she would get upset seeing Hong Lian. But now, the two of them…
Su Yingxue didn’t argue with Hong Lian or make things difficult for Mo Qi. “Since Your Highness is busy, you can go ahead. I’ll wait for him.”
“Thank you, Miss Su!”
Mo Qi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly escorted Hong Lian away.
His expression darkened. “Hong Lian, have you forgotten the lesson Your Highness taught you? Miss Su is about to enter the Ninth Prince’s Mansion and become the future Ninth Princess Consort. You are not allowed to offend her again!”
Mo Qi had made a mistake once, and he wouldn’t let it happen again.
Hong Lian glared at Mo Qi. “You’re just a subordinate. Even Your Highness hasn’t said anything. How dare you speak nonsense! Are you sure Your Highness will marry Su Yingxue? What gives you the right!”
“I…” Mo Qi reminded her out of goodwill, but Hong Lian treated him like a donkey’s liver and lungs. He laughed in anger. “Fine, I’m talking nonsense. Don’t you know where you stand in front of Your Highness? Let me tell you, whoever Your Highness wants to protect is who the entire Ninth Prince’s Mansion wants to protect. If you dare offend Miss Su, the entire Ninth Prince’s Mansion won’t let you off!”
Mo Qi said fiercely and headed to the study first.
In his eyes, he was no longer infatuated with Hong Lian.
Hong Lian was slightly stunned. “Why? Didn’t he use to…”
Mo Qi had fallen in love with her at first sight and had always treated her well. Even if she liked Your Highness, Mo Qi had helped her a few times.. Why was he treating her now?!
