Episode 12: Fiancé
Su Dingqin withdrew his hand and sneered silently.
Oh, after all this talk, is he just being too sentimental?
His tone was a little colder: "It's so early, grandma hasn't woken up yet."
"Then I'll wait in the yard."
Su Dingqin laughed out loud: "You do know the rules."
Su Dingqin had long known that the old lady disliked her.
Knowing that the little daughter of the Su family was someone else and the mansion was preparing to pick her up, he originally wanted to go in person to meet this little sister as soon as possible, but his grandmother stopped him.
After coming back, grandmother set a lot of rules for Yu Shengsheng. She never complained or complained, always smiling and saying that grandmother was doing it for her own good.
This made Su Dingqin feel even more distressed. In order to make her feel better, he would accompany her as long as she was not attending court.
Now, she has learned the rules thoroughly and can't find fault with them, but she doesn't need him around anymore.
Su Dingqin's heart was in a mess, as if it was filled with messy grass. He couldn't spit it out, but he felt suffocated and uncomfortable.
He threw his sleeves and said, "Then go by yourself!"
He was also a little angry and wanted Yu Shengsheng to beg him for help. Even if he was asked to send her to the gate of the courtyard, he would agree.
But Yu Shengsheng said nothing and just bowed and left.
Su Dingqin clenched his fists: "You ungrateful bastard!"
Yu Shengsheng arrived at the old lady's courtyard, and as expected, the old lady had not yet woken up. Only a servant came to tell her to wait.
It was not until dawn that the sun was bright and scorching, and her underwear was almost soaked.
Nanny Zhao came out and stood in the corridor, glancing at her calmly: "Miss Sheng, please go back. The old lady will have a distinguished guest here soon, so she won't have time to see you."
Yu Shengsheng bowed and took his leave, taking a few steps back before turning around.
Nanny Zhao kept looking at her with contempt, "Hmph, you coward! You're not even as good as a hair of the princess."
At this time Su Zhiyi also came. Nanny Zhao smiled and hurried down the steps to greet her.
"My princess, you have arrived just in time. The old lady is waiting for you. She asked me to prepare snowflake cool and cherry cups in the morning, waiting for you to come and cool down from the summer heat."
"Thank you, Madam," Su Zhiyi said cheerfully, "My sister is here too? Why don't we go pay our respects to Grandmother together?"
Madam Zhao glanced at Yu Shengsheng from the corner of her eyes and said, "Princess, Master Shen will be here soon, so the old lady specially invited you."
"It's not convenient for the others to be present."
Yu Shengsheng knew that these words were said intentionally to her, so she left the hospital without even pausing.
Su Zhiyi's voice behind him was tinged with laughter: "Brother Chen is back from patrol?"
"I heard that he came back last night, and he came to see you as soon as he got back."
As Nanny Zhao spoke, she glanced at the gate of the courtyard. Yu Shengsheng's shadow had disappeared. If she was sensible, she had to let her know that Master Chen was a good match for the princess and not someone she could ever dream of.
Yu Shengsheng heard the hidden meaning in what Madam Zhao said and just found it funny.
The Shen family? She doesn't care.
When she was first brought back to the mansion, Madam Su personally taught her needlework and embroidery. The first time Yu Shengsheng embroidered a handkerchief, she embroidered an orchid.
Although the embroidery was ugly, it was the first time she had completed a piece of embroidery by herself. She hoped that she would have the chance to give it to someone she cherished in the future.
Unexpectedly, the handkerchief was picked up by Shen Zhiyuan at a family dinner. When everyone saw the orchid, they thought that she had secretly embroidered it for Shen Zhiyuan.
Including Shen Zhiyuan himself, because Shen Zhiyuan's courtesy name is Lanchi.
At that time, Su Zhiyi's eyes turned red, and she almost cried and said that she would give the marriage to her.
Shen Zhiyuan publicly stated that he would only marry Su Zhiyi in this life.
Yu Shengsheng explained kindly that the handkerchief was not for him at all.
What a joke! Is he the only courtesy name in the world that contains the character “Lan”?
No matter if he is the son of the Minister of War or a young talent, it has nothing to do with her.
There is only one person in her heart.
But it seemed that everyone believed that she had intentions towards Shen Zhiyuan and wanted to steal his marriage.
She had to walk quickly to avoid meeting him again. Just as she was about to turn around, someone called her in an emotionless voice.
"Yu Shengsheng!"
The emphasis is on the word "余".
She pretended not to hear, turned around and walked away, and Shen Zhiyuan raised his voice.
"Yu Shengsheng, stop!"
Yu Shengsheng's pace is getting faster and faster.
“Swish!”
A cold light flashed along the edge of her shoe, and the hexagram hidden weapon pinned the hem of her skirt to the ground.
She couldn't move any further and almost fell down.
Shen Zhiyuan walked over slowly and looked at her profile. She was taller and thinner than a year ago, with a straight posture, like a thin and tough bamboo.
The hot wind blew through her hair, causing it to rise and fall softly. Combined with her stunningly beautiful face, it looked like a painting of a beautiful lady. Shen Zhiyuan felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.
Then he sneered silently - he had seen many tricks of playing the game of pretending to refuse but actually welcoming.
This woman still had fantasies about him.
How could there not be one? A country girl, even if she was of the Su family, had been living away from home for more than a decade and had long lost her nobleness.
How could my heart not be moved when I first saw such an outstanding man like him?
"I just called you, didn't you hear me?"
He spoke in a bad tone: "Give me back the hidden weapon."
Yu Shengsheng pulled the hidden weapon off the ground and threw it back to him: "Master Shen, keep it and don't throw it around anymore."
Shen Zhiyuan took it and smiled contemptuously: "If you weren't playing hard to get, and the more I told you to go, the more I would move, would I use a hidden weapon?"
Yu Shengsheng didn't want to get entangled with him: "Mr. Shen, you should hurry to the old lady's yard. The princess and the old lady are waiting for you. Goodbye."
She was about to leave when Shen Zhiyuan shouted, "Stop!"
"Yu Shengsheng, I don't care what you think in your heart, just remember that your last name is Yu, and the one who is engaged to my Shen family is the daughter of the Su family."
He took a step forward and looked at Yu Shengsheng's delicate neck. A few strands of hair fell on it, the black and white contrasting with each other, seemingly burning his eyes.
Shen Zhiyuan retracted his gaze, his tone becoming even more serious: "No matter what means you use, I will not even look at you. In my heart, I only know your intentions."
Yu Shengsheng sneered in his heart, and said quickly: "Yes, I remember it. I wish Mr. Shen and the princess to get married soon and be happy."
Shen Zhiyuan was inexplicably furious: "What are you talking about? It was you who secretly inquired about my courtesy name, and..."
Yu Shengsheng could no longer bear it: "Mr. Chen, are you the only one in the world whose courtesy name contains the character "Lan"?"
Shen Zhiyuan choked, and Yu Shengsheng looked away: "I have never had any feelings for you, not before, and not in the future. I guarantee with my life that I will not destroy you and the princess. Goodbye."
Yu Shengsheng was about to leave when she suddenly saw a dog running from a distance.
The dog was not big, its body was snow-white, and it had a bright red tongue.
Yu Shengsheng’s face turned pale instantly!
The iron cage, the dog's barking, the sharp teeth, suddenly rushed in like a burst dam and swallowed her up.
If she made the slightest mistake, she would be locked in a dog cage. She huddled in the corner desperately. If she moved a little bit, the dog on the chain would use its teeth to scratch her flesh!
Those were all ferocious big dogs; the snoring, grinding of teeth, and even the sound of saliva dripping all exploded in her ears and hit her eardrums.
Yu Shengsheng's back was covered in sweat and her ears were buzzing. She could only see Shen Zhiyuan's mouth opening and closing, but she could not hear what he was saying at all.
Yu Shengsheng took two steps back, completely ignoring Shen Zhiyuan, her eyes filled with the dog's bright red tongue and fangs.
Shen Zhiyuan looked at her expression and was about to express his dissatisfaction. He picked up the dog and walked towards her: "You..."
Yu Shengsheng's forehead was soaked with sweat and her legs were shaking uncontrollably. She wanted to run, but her legs were too weak to move.
Seeing Shen Zhiyuan getting closer and closer, her legs bent and she almost fell.
Shen Zhiyuan subconsciously grabbed her.
Not far away behind a tree, Su Zhiyi sat in a wheelchair. His gaze was calm, but there seemed to be a raging sea of turmoil in his eyes.
