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 didnât notice someone approaching.
When Hong Lian saw how harmonious Su Yingxue was with the Ninth Princeâs Mansionâs servants, she couldnât help but feel jealous!
She had visited the Ninth Princeâs Mansion more times and had known Your Highness longer. Why was Su Yingxue ultimately receiving this honor?
âMiss Su, what brings you here without an invitation?â Hong Lian chuckled. Even if Chu Yihan had shown interest in her, she wouldnât let Su Yingxue off easily!
Su Yingxue raised her head slightly, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes. âHong Lianâ¦â
Was she the one discussing important matters with Chu Yihan?
Hong Lianâs eyes gleamed with satisfaction. âSurprised to see me, Miss Su? Do you think I would leave Your Highness just like that, never to interact with him again?â
Su Yingxue smirked. Fine, this was a provocation!
She held the red silk in her hand and smiled. âOf course, 1 wouldnât think that. After all, dogs are hard to shake off!â
âSu Yingxue, are you calling me a dog?â Hong Lianâs voice became sharp.
âIsnât that what you are? Canât you see that all these things in the Ninth Princeâs Mansion were prepared for my wedding with Your Highness?â
Su Yingxue shrugged, kindly reminding Hong Lian.
âWedding? Youâre being too simplistic! Considering Your Highnessâs status, why would he hastily decide on such an important matter? Itâs not up to you to decide!â Hong Lian stared proudly.
Even though she had suffered a major loss at Su Yingxueâs hands, it wouldnât deter her!
She knew Chu Yihan. Marrying someone wasnât that easy!
And he was marrying Su Yingxue!
Su Yingxue couldnât be bothered to argue with her. Hong Lianâs words were just nonsense!
âHong Lian, why are you here drinking water?â
Mo Qi hurried over.
Seeing him, Hong Lian deliberately softened her tone. âYour Highness must be anxiously waiting for me, right? Iâll go immediately!â
Mo Qi thought this wasnât good. He hadnât let Su Yingxue in earlier because he was afraid she would get upset seeing Hong Lian. But now, the two of themâ¦
Su Yingxue didnât argue with Hong Lian or make things difficult for Mo Qi. âSince Your Highness is busy, you can go ahead. Iâll wait for him.â
âThank you, Miss Su!â
Mo Qi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly escorted Hong Lian away.
His expression darkened. âHong Lian, have you forgotten the lesson Your Highness taught you? Miss Su is about to enter the Ninth Princeâs Mansion and become the future Ninth Princess Consort. You are not allowed to offend her again!â
Mo Qi had made a mistake once, and he wouldnât let it happen again.
Hong Lian glared at Mo Qi. âYouâre just a subordinate. Even Your Highness hasnât said anything. How dare you speak nonsense! Are you sure Your Highness will marry Su Yingxue? What gives you the right!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâ¦â Mo Qi reminded her out of goodwill, but Hong Lian treated him like a donkeyâs liver and lungs. He laughed in anger. âFine, Iâm talking nonsense. Donât 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 Princeâs Mansion wants to protect. If you dare offend Miss Su, the entire Ninth Princeâs Mansion wonât let you off!â
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. âWhy? Didnât he use toâ¦â
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 like this now?!
