After Rebirth, I Became the Favored One in the Enemy Camp

In her previous life, Su Jin Xia was deceived and persecuted, dying miserably. Reborn, she not only seeks revenge and corrects injustices but also protects the one she loves.

However, when lo...

Chapter 144 Phoenix Pavilion Doesn't Celebrate the New Year

Besides, one team was even more lively, and it was a stark contrast between ice and fire.

Most of the disciples in the team were happy for Su Jinxia and wished her dreams would come true. They even planned to host a banquet to celebrate, acting like family members, and had already started collecting gifts for Su Jinxia.

If Su Jinxia is willing, they would even be willing to prepare a dowry for her.

However, all this liveliness had nothing to do with one room, which was quiet and chilly.

"Didn't we agree to test Su Jinxia's motives? Why is there news of her getting married?" Yang Jiaoruo came over aggressively.

Chen Xi sat on the bed, her back still aching, looking distressed. "How should I know? Young Master never intended to tell you."

"Go ask her," Yang Jiaoruo said, urging Chen Xi instead of going herself.

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow. "I'm not going! The young master didn't tell us because he doesn't want us to say anything. If we go and ask, aren't we just asking for trouble? It will only alienate the young master from us."

Yang Jiaoruo said urgently, "But do you know what marriage means? The mistress of Phoenix Pavilion, how can she be someone whose identity and background are unknown!"

"Furthermore, what if we discover that Su Jinxia has problems? How will we handle that?"

Shen Xi's expression was somber. "Perhaps it was precisely because there was no way to salvage the situation that the young master did this. No matter what mistakes the mistress of the house has made, it is not for us subordinates to criticize her."

Su Jinxia's marriage to Shen Qianxue undoubtedly provides an extra layer of protection.

As long as she doesn't cause significant damage to Phoenix Pavilion, she'll be fine.

"How could this be! What exactly does the young master want to do! Is he offering the entire Phoenix Pavilion to Su Jinxia so that she can run wild?"

Yang Jiaoruo was furious!

She struggled with Shen Xi for a long time, but Shen Xi acted as if she didn't care and couldn't climb any further.

Helpless, Yang Jiaoruo could only go to Shen Qianxue herself, hoping that Shen Qianxue would realize the seriousness of the matter and change her mind.

However, Shen Qianxue seemed to have guessed that she was coming and made an excuse in advance to avoid seeing her at all.

This incident kept Su Jinxia so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, Shen Yun dug Su Jinxia out of bed early in the morning, and a group of people came up and played with Su Jinxia in various ways.

"What is this?" Su Jin asked groggily, yawning repeatedly.

Shen Yun replied with a smile, "Take measurements, I'll make your wedding dress!"

Su Jin frowned, looking troubled. "Isn't this too early?"

"It's too early. The master said he's going to prepare the most magnificent wedding dress in the world for you, but there's only a month, which isn't even enough time," a nanny said, her voice tinged with envy.

Unexpectedly, the usually aloof and cold lord is so passionate when he meets someone he likes, wanting to give his bride the best of everything in the world.

After finally finishing the measurement, Su Jinxia hurriedly threw herself onto the bed, but Shen Yun grabbed her, saying, "You can't sleep, girl, there are still a group of people waiting for you outside."

"ha?"

"What are you waiting for me for?"

"The wedding process is complicated, and we need to discuss each matter with you in advance. Everyone has been waiting for a long time. In addition, Tingyu Tower needs to be renovated. There are many things to do, and you will be very busy in the future!"

Su Jin down...

"No way! Let them go find Shen Qianxue."

"What's yours is yours, what's his is his, and the Lord's side won't be short of people either."

Su Jin down...

Why is it so complicated?

“The trouble is because the Lord values ​​you.” Shen Yun earnestly advised, “Neither you nor the Lord have parents, and there is no one to help you decide and handle many things. It is up to you and the Lord to work hard.”

Su Jin sighed and resignedly got out of bed.

Time flies by in a flurry of activity, and the New Year is just around the corner.

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the time for a thorough cleaning, but Phoenix Pavilion remained completely still.

Su Jin was puzzled, thinking it was because there were no elders in the family and no one to take care of things.

Fortunately, Phoenix Pavilion is usually very clean, so it doesn't need to be cleaned.

Two more days passed, and no one was seen preparing for the New Year, which made Su Jin even more puzzled.

Why is there no festive atmosphere at all?

So, Su Jin asked Shen Yun a question and received a surprising answer: Phoenix Pavilion doesn't celebrate the New Year!

As for the reason, Shen Yun was not quite sure, only saying that it had always been like this, as if it had been left over a long time ago.

Moreover, Phoenix Pavilion is very reluctant to mention this matter, especially not in front of Shen Qianxue.

Once, someone joked about this, and when Shen Qianxue found out, she almost beat him to death.

From then on, no one dared to say another word.

Su Jin twitched the corner of her mouth. It was another secret that couldn't be mentioned. Phoenix Pavilion really had a lot of secrets.

But Su Jin didn't pay any attention to it.

Every time she asked about the secret, she got no answer, so Su Jinxia stopped asking.

However, in the evening, Su Jin prepared a bunch of materials in the yard.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yun asked, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Su Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. You've had a long day. Go and rest."

"Then please be careful, and call me if anything happens."

Su Jin nodded and continued arranging the wooden strips in her hands.

She was very skilled, and in no time, four rabbit lanterns were finished.

Su Jin installed two candles upstairs and placed small candles on them. The candles glowed red, and the whole building became much more festive.

Su Jin nodded in satisfaction and led the remaining two to Shen Qianxue's courtyard.

After looking around, Su Jinxia still felt that hanging it at the entrance of the courtyard was the most suitable, so that it wouldn't be dark when people came in.

Su Jinxia had always felt that something was missing from Phoenix Pavilion, and now she realized it was the lack of lighting.

Phoenix Pavilion was pitch black at night, with hardly any light.

"What are you doing!"

A furious rebuke startled Su Jin.

Su Jin turned around and looked at Yang Jiaoruo, displeased, "I can do whatever I want, why are you yelling at me?"

Yang Jiaoruo narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "You've been acting suspiciously, so I yelled at you. What can you do about it? You're not the mistress of Phoenix Pavilion yet, but you're already trying to act like one?"

Su Jinxia... What does this have to do with anything?!

"Who's acting like the mistress of the house? Look at yourself, are you the one who's powerful, or am I?" Su Jin retorted.

After not seeing her for many days, Yang Jiaoruo has become increasingly unreasonable.

Yang Jiaoruo, however, was not to be outdone and continued to rebuke: "Lanterns are not allowed in Phoenix Pavilion. What are you doing? Aren't you openly challenging the authority of Phoenix Pavilion and the Lord?"

"Huh?" Su Jin was genuinely confused. "What's wrong with lanterns? What did they do to deserve this? It's one thing to not celebrate the New Year, but they won't even let us hang lanterns? Have they no humanity?!"

Yang Jiaoruo scoffed, "You'd better dare to say that in front of the young master!"

"What's there to be afraid of! Do you think I'm like you, saying things that your master doesn't like to hear!" Su Jin was furious and deliberately hit Yang Jiaoruo where it hurt.

"you!"

Enraged, Yang Jiaoruo raised her hand and struck a lantern that Su Jin had just hung up with a burst of energy.

The lantern fell instantly, and the candlelight inside ignited the fragile bamboo strips and blueprints!
