Chapter 274 Show of Love



It is understandable that she is tired and exhausted from the long journey, but it is hard to understand why the girl looks so worried.

Su Bei was still very interested in the legendary third uncle's daughter, so he chatted with her for a while.

Logically speaking, since her father was a minor official, she should have had more experience than the daughters of merchants. However, who would have thought that she didn't have the temperament of a lady from a noble family at all, and always spoke in a voice as low as a mosquito, as if she had been temporarily replaced by a maid.

Could it be that the Third Uncle is going to do something weird?

Su Bei was confused and deliberately chatted with her for a while longer, but he didn't find any flaws.

Prince Jingnan, who was hiding in the dark, thought that Su Bei was so concerned about this girl that he probably had a good impression of her.

Looking around, other girls were chatting and laughing, only this one kept her head down. I guess even if she knew that Cheng Shi had a baby Su'er, she would not say much.

Prince Jingnan secretly took note of her.

Su'er also secretly took note of her.

It has to be said that Su'er is not that magnanimous. She and Cheng Shi have been in love with each other for a while, but Cheng Shi is affectionate towards her but stops at courtesy, saying that he must marry her in a formal ceremony.

How could she not want to be Cheng Shi's prince's consort? She wished that those girls would not want to marry Cheng Shi, but she was also afraid that Cheng Shi would have a bad reputation and be criticized by others. She was so conflicted.

While she was peeking, someone suddenly grabbed her hand from behind.

How could Su'er let anyone take advantage of her? She was about to attack, but her palm stopped in front of the man.

"Prince, why are you here?" Su'er asked in surprise.

Cheng Shi held her hand tightly, "Aren't you letting me choose? I have to take a look at it myself. Come on, let's go to the theater!"

He thought Su'er was eavesdropping on the opera here, and thought that since she liked it, he would take her to the theater to have a look later.

He swaggered and took Su'er's hand and found a seat in the front row.

Everyone exploded instantly.

Didn't they say that today was the day to select the Crown Prince's consort? Why was the Crown Prince openly holding a girl? Although he looked elegant and handsome, his image in the eyes of the girls collapsed instantly. Even the girls who were originally sitting near him found excuses to get up and leave, fearing that they would be favored by this dandy Crown Prince.

You said you were here to watch a play, so you should watch a play. But you also want to bring Su'er with you, so go ahead and hold her hand, so go ahead and feed her in public! King Jingnan really wants to beat his son!

Just as he was about to rush over with his fists clenched, he saw Yue Jiaxue stand up and walk to the position closest to Cheng Shi, as if she didn't care at all.

Well, I was not wrong. This girl is truly virtuous and tolerant.

Su Bei held his forehead with his hand. How much does this girl want to be the Crown Prince's consort? ! But Yue Jiaxue just sat down without saying a word to Cheng Shi. Cheng Shi glanced at her and said nothing. He focused on feeding Su Er with a piece of dessert and even wiped the corner of her mouth with his hand.

The two were so close that if they moved their heads even a little they would kiss.

Prince Jingnan couldn't help it any longer, so he walked out from the darkness, walked to Su Bei's side, looked at Cheng Shi with anger, and then whispered something in Su Bei's ear.

"Your Majesty, don't you think that girl is a little strange?" Su Bei was full of worry. Even if he wanted to force Cheng Shi to marry, he couldn't marry someone like Yue Jiaxue, right? No matter how he looked at it, it felt awkward.

"Maybe she's timid, it's no problem." Prince Jingnan said in a low voice. Although he didn't like the girl very much, his son spoiled a maid to the sky, which young lady would tolerate it? He had to make do with it.

Su Bei was a little embarrassed. Prince Jingnan said that he would choose Yue Jiaxue and asked her to help propose marriage, but she didn't want to break up Cheng Shi and Su'er.

What's wrong with a maid? Didn't she start out as a maid? I don't know if Su'er is good at writing, but she's not an ordinary person. She even has a built-in poison function.

As they were hesitating, something happened that none of them had expected.

Yue Jiaxue was timid when speaking to Su Bei, but she actually stood up, walked in front of Cheng Shi and bowed to him.

This ceremony was respectful and standard, demonstrating her demeanor as a lady from a noble family.

It is definitely not something a maid can learn by copying.

It was obvious that she wanted to get close to Cheng Shi, but after bowing, she wanted to say a few more words to Cheng Shi, but she was too timid to open her mouth, and just stood in front of Cheng Shi and Su'er like a wooden stake.

Cheng Shi was extremely impatient and said coldly, "Move aside, you are blocking our view of the show!"

Su'er said nothing. In her heart, she also wanted Cheng Shi to marry her, and Cheng Shi was willing, but King Jingnan thought she was a servant.

If Prince Jingnan arranged a suitable person, she might be able to reluctantly accept it, but the one in front of her was obviously not good enough and was not as good as her at all.

Yue Jiaxue's face turned red all of a sudden, and she stammered and couldn't utter a word, but she refused to leave.

Su Bei couldn't stand it any longer. Didn't this girl feel embarrassed? A large group of people were watching. She asked Wen Xia to invite Yue Jiaxue to sit in the flower hall in her name, which eased the awkward situation.

After Yue Jiaxue left, King Jingnan said angrily: "It's her! I'll send someone to Qing'an to propose marriage!"

Prince Jingnan was a military commander with a bad temper, so he just turned around and left.

Su Bei walked towards the flower hall.

Cheng Shi still felt smug that he had angered Yue Jiaxue and drove her away.

As soon as he reached the door of the flower hall, Su Bei stopped.

There seemed to be sobbing and talking sounds in the hall.

"Miss, stop crying. It will be bad if Princess Su sees you!"

"Yuanyang, are they all laughing at me?"

"Miss, don't let your imagination run wild. They just think the play is funny."

"Yuanyang, I really don't want to live anymore..."

"Please don't do that. If anything happens to you, what will I do? Oh, it's all Master's fault! Why did he insist on letting you become the Crown Prince's Consort?"

"Yuanyang! Stop talking! Don't let anyone hear it!"

So Yue Jiaxue had planned this? It seems that the Third Master wanted to get promoted, so he wanted to climb up the Cheng family? This is really difficult for Miss Yue.

There was no movement inside at all, so Su Bei walked in.

When she went in, Yue Jiaxue became her petty self again, with her head hung, not daring to even breathe.

"Ms. Yue is from Qing'an. Do you have a place to stay?" Su Bei said calmly.

"My father... let me stay here..." Yue Jiaxue's voice became lower and lower, and finally it could not be heard. Yuanyang added, "The master said that he was afraid of disturbing the fourth master's family, so he let the young lady stay in the inn."

If Su Bei had not overheard their conversation just now, he might have thought that the master and servant had swapped identities.

I've never seen a lady from a noble family raised like this!

Anyway, everyone was not familiar with each other, so after chatting for a few words, Su Bei left. The two did not speak again until the show was over and everyone dispersed.

However, Su Bei was cautious and let Yun Xi follow Yue Jiaxue.

I always feel like something is wrong with her.
