Chapter 267 - 267: Chu Yihan’s Gift
Facing the well in the courtyard, she took a deep breath for a long time until her face was reflected in the well water. It was not as red as before, and only then did she stand up and walk into the house.
Zi Wei stood there like a statue, but Zhilan was all smiles.
Su Yingxue pinched her soft cheeks. “It’s not like you were getting married today. Why were you so happy?”
“Pfft, haha! I am happy for Miss! Not only did Miss show off your face today, but you also angered the mother and daughter of Sunset Garden until their faces turned pale. The Second Young Miss cried the entire afternoon today and was even wiping her tears at night!” Zhilan felt relieved just thinking about it.
In the past, Su Yurou’s tears were enough for Su Denheng to beat Su Yingxue up. Su Yingxue was always at a disadvantage.
But today, Su Yurou had been crying all day.
Their Eldest Young Miss was not only safe and sound but had also received praise throughout the day. Even the way Marquis looked at her had changed. It was a complete reversal of fortunes. Wasn’t that delightful?
Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. “It’s been tough on them! Didn’t Father arrange a place for Madame Lin to stay? Why did he let Madame Lin share a courtyard with Su Yurou and her mother?”
“Master was too busy enjoying the company of two beautiful women in the bridal chamber to remember to arrange accommodations for Madame Lin,” Zhilan said with a mischievous smile and a wink.
Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. “Where did these two beautiful women come from? Did they make Father forget about Madame Lin?”
“They were sent by the Ninth Prince. Your Highness’s gift list today included two stunning women. I heard they were the top beauties from the Flower Pavilion that the Marquis often frequented. The Marquis had originally intended to purchase them, but now, the Prince has sent them to the Marquis.” “Puff!” Su Yingxue couldn’t help but spray out a mouthful of tea.
Chu Yihan… Was he this cunning?
How could her father resist the temptation of receiving two top courtesans on their wedding day?
How could Liu Shulan even compare to the young and beautiful top courtesan from the Flower Pavilion?
Wouldn’t this drive Liu Shulan to the brink of anger?
Su Yingxue couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up. “Your Highness is truly impressive!”
She had previously thought that being the only one playing these games wasn’t much fun.
Her brother was so upright; he would never engage in such tactics.
But Chu Yihan was playing along with her!
This feeling of having someone to engage in these scheming games with her made Su Yingxue feel a wave of sweetness in her heart.
In Sunset Garden, Su Yurou’s cries echoed throughout the entire courtyard. Liu Shulan had dismissed all the servants. Su Yurou wanted to vent her frustration, but she couldn’t find an outlet.
Su Jinxuan remained silent for a while as Su Yurou continued to cry. He finally said impatiently, “Sister, crying won’t change anything. Please calm down.” “What do you mean crying won’t change anything? This is all because of Su Yingxue, that wench! Father not only failed to arrange accommodations for Mother but also embraced those two little devils into the room! This is a severe slap to our faces. Does Father no longer want us?”
Su Yurou couldn’t control her tears, and her cries grew louder.
Liu Shulan stood up and scolded her harshly, “Rou’er, you’re becoming more and more thoughtless!”
“Mother…” Su Yurou pouted, feeling wronged. Their family of three had suffered today, and instead of helping her, Liu Shulan scolded her. She couldn’t understand it.
“If you had half of Su Yingxue’s intelligence today, we wouldn’t be in this situation!” Liu Shulan didn’t care whether Su Yurou listened or not. She pressed her daughter and explained the truth clearly.
“Today, Su Yingxue not only cleared her name in Jiang Du City but also left a positive impression on the officials.. In contrast, all your years of effort have been ruined today!”
