Su Yingxue smiled. “I knew I wasn’t exactly welcomed here, but apart from treating madam, I have another matter that needs resolving by Marquis before I depart.”
“Is there anything else?” Marquis Changxin’s brow furrowed.
“My marriage to Your Highness,” Su Yingxue stated frankly.
“Your marriage to the Ninth Prince is widely known and celebrated across the realm. While it brings honor to my Changxin Marquis’s Manor, I’m uncertain how I can assist the Princess Consort,” Marquis Changxin replied. He maintained politeness when discussing marriage matters.
“It’s not so much about assistance. I merely hope that Marquis can keep your household members in check, preventing them from spreading rumors and causing trouble. I’ll handle these rumors here, but if they reach Your Highness, I’m unsure how he’ll handle it,” Su Yingxue explained, her demeanor kind yet authoritative.
Her words compelled Marquis Changxin to address the issue.
“If it’s merely a rumor, it will naturally be dispelled. But if it’s not, what will the Princess Consort do?” Marquis Changxin recalled Su Xinlan’s mention of Chu Yihan’s possible interest in Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen had been loved by him for many years, so naturally, he was willing for her to marry well.
Chu Yihan was undoubtedly the most esteemed man in the Great Cheng Dynasty, worthy of his status. It was an honor to become his secondary consort. But Su Yingxue seemed too dominant!
“Father, I suspect this rumor may be deliberately spread by someone in our household. Consider today, the Ninth Princess Consort visited Mother, and though the Ninth Prince didn’t come himself, he sent Doctor Huang and the headmaster. His attention and affection toward Ninth Princess Consort leave no room for a third party,” Ye Lingbai interjected.
Ye Lingbai spoke up for justice.
When it came to emotions, he understood well.
When a man deeply loves a woman, he would never allow another person into his heart.
Not even a single strand of hair could fit!
Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow. In some aspects, Ye Lingbai still understood things well!
However, Marquis Changxin rebuked him, “Nonsense! Do you think Ninth Prince is like you? Zhenzhen’s status is sufficient to be the Ninth Prince’s secondary consort. If Ninth Prince has intentions, and someone intentionally obstructs, it’s sinister!”
Su Xinlan smiled, standing beside Marquis Changxin. “Exactly. Zhenzhen has been cherished by Marquis Changxin since childhood. Her beauty and character are among the finest in Jiang Du City. It’s natural for Ninth Prince to be attracted to her.”
“When did my taste become so lacking?”
The man’s cold voice, carried by the winter wind, sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
Marquis Changxin was taken aback and promptly knelt. “Greetings, Your Highness!”
The others followed suit. “Greetings, Ninth Prince!”
Even Xu Aoqing mustered the strength to pay her respects.
Now, only two remained standing in the room. One was Su Yingxue.
Chu Yihan approached her and playfully tapped her nose. “You finally remembered.”
Su Yingxue chuckled. “Your Highness said no kneeling. He’s mentioned it many times, so of course, I remember!”
After all, she had never knelt before. Su Yingxue preferred to avoid such formalities if possible!
This man was her husband!
The other person standing there was Su Xinlan. She was stunned.
She gritted her teeth. She hated Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue! Su Yingxue!
This woman seemed to have all the luck, with Chu Yihan following her everywhere!
Was Chu Yihan blind or simply idle?
