“No.” Su Yingxue had not yet spoken when Chu Yihan spoke on her behalf.
In Chu Yihan’s place, no one could disobey Su Yingxue.
“Hong Lian, don’t ask for trouble. Otherwise…”
Mo Qi kindly reminded her, but Hong Lian not only didn’t appreciate it but also glared at him. “If you won’t help me, then keep quiet!”
“You don’t know what’s good for you!”
Mo Qi snorted in frustration. He couldn’t convince Hong Lian to give up on Your Highness, but preventing her from clashing with Su Yingxue was for her good. Yet, she dared to tell him to shut up!
Then he would indeed remain silent!
Su Yingxue knew that Hong Lian was not convinced. She smiled and asked, “Does Pavilion Master Hong Lian think there’s anyone else in the residence who doesn’t accept me?”
Hong Lian curled her lips inwardly. “Your Highness has a pet at the frontier fortress. It’s tall and mighty. Now that he’s brought it back to Jiang Du City, I wonder if Miss Su has seen it?”
“Are you referring to Shan Bao?”
Su Yingxue chuckled softly, lowering her head.
A hint of surprise flashed in Hong Lian’s eyes. Did Chu Yihan let her encounter Shan Bao?
That white tiger was a rare sight!
However, Hong Lian was certain that even if Su Yingxue had seen Shan Bao, it would have been with Chu Yihan. She couldn’t tame Shan Bao.
Shan Bao was very intelligent. Apart from Chu Yihan, whom she had met a few years ago, Shan Bao had never attacked her. No one else could get close to Shan Bao.
“Miss Su, do you dare to come with me to see Shan Bao and see if it will obey you?” Hong Lian raised her eyebrows provocatively, her bright red eyebrows like a cluster of flames.
“Why not?” Su Yingxue chuckled.
Chu Yihan looked down at her. “Aren’t you afraid of it?”
Su Yingxue shook her head. If Chu Yihan hadn’t placed Shan Bao outside the study room that night, she might still be afraid.
However, after that night, she had already figured out Shan Bao’s temperament.
This tiger was very intelligent and sharp.
Su Yingxue asked the steward to bring a bucket of meat over. She planned to go to Tiger Mountain with Hong Lian.
Hong Lian glanced at Chu Yihan and said softly, “Shan Bao was raised by Your Highness. If Your Highness goes with you, it will submit to him.”
It meant that if Su Yingxue stood beside Chu Yihan to tease Shan Bao, it would listen.
Su Yingxue’s eyes curved into crescents. “Pavilion Master Hong Lian is confident in yourself!”
Where did this woman get the confidence to think that she would not be bitten by Shan Bao?
Because she was pretty?
Su Yingxue felt that she was not someone who liked to look in the mirror every day. She should give her a self-portrait.
He wanted her to compare more often to see the difference.
However, she still had to help Hong Lian with something like slapping her face.
She pulled Chu Yihan’s hand and shook it. “Your Highness, wait for me at the foot of Tiger Mountain. I’m going to find Shan Bao to play with.”
“Miss Su, Shan Bao is fierce and has a temper. Let Your Highness accompany you.”
The old steward couldn’t help but worry.
Mo Qi also felt the same way. “With Your Highness around, Shan Bao will not misbehave.”
If Hong Lian and Su Yingxue got together and angered Shan Bao, then a tiger’s temper would be worse than a human’s.
“I’m not afraid. Let’s see if Pavilion Master Hong Lian is afraid. If she is, it’s not too late to eat now.” Su Yingxue pretended to be relaxed, which aroused Hong Lian’s fighting spirit even more. “Even Miss Su isn’t afraid, so how can I, Hong Lian, be afraid?”
Su Yingxue and Hong Lian each carried a bucket of meat and went to Tiger Mountain.
Chu Yihan and Mo Qi watched from the foot of the mountain.
The steward was worried. “Shan Bao must behave. Don’t let Miss Su get hurt!”
