When An Ruoruo said this, many people present burst out laughing.

Wasn’t An Ruoruo making things difficult for Su Qian?

Su Qian had been wandering outside for so many years and had two children with her. Her life must have been miserable. It wasn’t easy for her to come back and extort a sum of money from the Su family. That money was used to buy a house. How could she have afforded a gift?

Moreover, if Su Qian had really prepared a gift, she would have taken it out earlier. There was no need for An Ruoruo to remind her in public.

Everyone knew An Ruoruo’s intention toward the Ninth Prince. They all understood that she was deliberately trying to embarrass Su Qian!

Su Qian remained silent as if everything had nothing to do with her.

Xiao Yan’s cold gaze swept toward An Ruoruo. The Empress Dowager also gave Nanny Jin a look.

“Second Young Miss, Miss Su is the fiancee of the Ninth Prince. The gift from the Ninth Prince is Miss Su’s gift,” Nanny Jin said.

“Nanny, you’re wrong. It’s said that filial piety depends on the person. Miss Su hasn’t married the Ninth Prince, and her name isn’t in the genealogy of the royal family.” An Ruoruo looked at Su Qian gloatingly. “Miss Su, you wouldn’t happen to have not prepared anything, would you?”

Only then did Su Qian put down her chopsticks elegantly. She said calmly, “Empress Dowager, I didn’t prepare anything.”

The Empress Dowager didn’t mind. “Good child, didn’t you come to the palace to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for the blessings of the royal family? I know your intentions. We are a family and don’t need to care about these common customs.”

An Ruoruo wasn’t willing to give up so easily. Her eyes flickered with cunning as she said, “Empress Dowager is so kind. However, since we’ve come to this point, it’s not good for Miss Su to not give any gift. Why don’t we let Miss Su perform a talent for us and make the Empress Dowager smile?”

“Is this how Prime Minister An educates his daughter?” As soon as Xiao Yan finished his words, he slowly drank the wine in his cup. His body was filled with a chilling aura that made Prime Minister An break out in a cold sweat.

Prime Minister An felt Xiao Yan’s terrifying aura, but his eyes became heated with desire.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that Xiao Yan could possess such an imposing manner, it could be seen that his strength was far from simple.

Prime Minister An immediately had a devious thought. He reprimanded An Ruoruo, “Ruoruo, you can’t make things difficult for Miss Su like this.”

When everyone heard this, they laughed even harder.

As expected of young ladies from noble families, who wouldn’t know lyre-playing? However, when it comes to Su Qian, it was difficult for her to perform a talent. Prime Minister An was intentionally trying to embarrass Su Qian, making her lose face.

Xiao Yan’s hand, as if carved from jade, crushed the wine glass. A cold glint flashed across his starry eyes, and just as he was about to flare up, he heard Su Qian’s gentle voice.

“These people are trying to make things difficult for me. I can handle it myself.” Su Qian’s voice was very soft, only she and Xiao Yan could hear it. “Don’t worry. Since I agreed to come out with you, I naturally won’t embarrass you.”

When Su Qian came to the banquet, she had already guessed that someone might deliberately make things difficult for her.

In order for Xiao Yan to bring her to the underground city’s bazaar, and also to earn face for herself, she couldn’t tolerate it.

When Xiao Yan saw Su Qian’s bright eyes, the anger in his heart was miraculously suppressed. “Then go ahead and do whatever you want. If the sky falls, I’ll cover it for you.”

Su Qian raised her eyebrows and stood up in front of everyone. “Empress Dowager, although I didn’t prepare a gift, I can perform a dance for you.”

“Miss Su, you don’t have to pay attention to them.” The Empress Dowager was enraged. Her face was cold as she glared at An Ruoruo.. “I want to see who dares to make things difficult for Miss Su today!”
