Liu Huan retorted sarcastically, "It has to be Miss Wang. Being a lackey means being a lackey for life. I really envy her."
"you……"
Miss Wang said, "Who do you think you are? A child bride and a maid, yet you refuse to leave the Su family. You are a disgrace to the Su family."
Whether she lives in the Su family or not, or whether she is a member of the Su family, has nothing to do with my cousin.
Su Wan had come looking for Liu Huan because she was worried that Liu Huan hadn't gone back yet, but she didn't expect to hear this so-called cousin talking badly about her.
Wang Ning snapped out of his thoughts and walked up to Su Wan with a fawning expression. "Sister-in-law, don't be fooled by her. She used to seduce the third young master of the Wang family, which is why she was kicked out."
"Besides, the Su family raised her all these years, and she still refuses to leave the Su family. Who knows what she's plotting?"
Su Wan walked seriously to Liu Huan, took her hand, and looked at Wang Ning, saying:
“She’s not clinging to the Su family. The Su family has always been her home, and she has a share in everything in the Su family. She doesn’t need to scheme anything; if she wants, everything in the Su family can be hers.”
"So cousin, it's best not to worry about other people's business."
"you……"
Before Wang Ning could speak, Madam Wang, who came out of the house, asked, "Ning'er, what are you talking about?"
After asking the question, he gave her a warning look.
Wang Ning deliberately ignored Madam Wang's gaze.
She continued, "With her looks, how could she be worthy of a man as elegant and handsome as Lord Su? Lord Su must have been deceived by her."
Su Wan's face grew increasingly grim. "Cousin, how can you, an unmarried young lady, say such things? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
When Madam Wang heard Su Wan speak of her daughter in such a way, she also lost her temper.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Guan Mei stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Mother, Third Sister-in-law, the food is ready. Let's go over there."
Wang Ning persisted, saying, "It's really bad luck to eat with a maid."
Su Wan turned to look at Madam Wang, her whole body radiating anger: "So this is how Lord Wang treats his guests? My Su family is not fortunate enough to eat at your house. Farewell."
After saying this, she took Liu Huan's hand and prepared to leave. Lord Wang, who had just come out of the study, noticed the tense atmosphere and asked:
"What's going on? Didn't we say it was time to eat? Why is everyone still here?"
In front of everyone, Su Wan repeated Wang Ning's words word by word, and patted Wang Ning on the back, saying, "Uncle, Huanhuan is a member of the Su family. She was before, she is now, and she will always be."
"This..." Lord Wang was embarrassed and angry at being spoken to like that by a junior. He looked at Wang Ning and said, "Hurry up and apologize to him!"
Wang Ning was unconvinced and stubbornly said, "Why should I? What I said wasn't true? She was a maid in the Prince's mansion, but when she came to my house, she was treated like an honored guest. What does she take my Wang family for?"
Lord Wang scolded her a few times, then looked at Su Yi and smiled, "My daughter is ignorant, please don't be offended, nephew. Let's go have a meal first."
Su Yi remained expressionless throughout, and those who weren't close to him had no idea that he was angry.
He nodded slightly to Lord Wang and said, "No need for food. As my sister said, the Su family is not fortunate enough to have food from the Wang family."
After saying that, he took Liu Huan's hand and walked outside without looking back.
Su Wan glanced at Guan Changye, who was following behind her.
The atmosphere froze. Wang Ning was about to say something when Lord Wang slapped him across the face, knocking him to the ground. "Shut up."
Madam Wang knew that Lord Wang was angry, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
Guan Mei said to Guan Chang, "They're not hungry. Third Brother, why don't you stay and eat before you leave?"
Guan Chang initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the plea in his sister's eyes, he agreed.
However, she looked at the person on the ground very seriously: "Liu Huan grew up with the Su family and is the Su family's destined daughter-in-law. Cousin, it's best not to say these things again in the future."
Liu Huan was dragged out by Su Yi and put into the carriage, and he didn't let go of her.
Liu Huan felt her palms were sweaty from his grip, but seeing his expression, she didn't dare to speak.
After the carriage started moving, Su Yi turned around and hugged Liu Huan in his arms.
As if she had made a huge decision: "Huanhuan, let's get married."
Liu Huan was stunned by those words. What marriage? With whom?
Su Yi sensed her stiffness and added, "Don't rush to answer. Think it over first. I won't force you. Tell me when you've made up your mind."
It took Liu Huan a while to find her voice, "Shi Tou, you don't need to say that because of these rumors. You can't force feelings, and besides, I..."
Liu Huan wanted to say that she was still young, but Su Yi interpreted it as Liu Huan not wanting to marry him.
He took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, Huanhuan, I'll wait for you, until the day you accept me. Don't rush to reject me."
Liu Huan opened her mouth but only managed to utter an "oh".
Su Yi held her tightly without letting go, and Liu Huan nestled in his arms without resisting, even finding his fragrance pleasant.
The carriage stopped, and Changbai only snapped her out of her daze when he said they had arrived. Blushing, she got out of Su Yi's arms and jumped off the carriage to go back to her room, as if a dog was chasing her.
Su Yi felt somewhat annoyed inside the carriage, realizing he shouldn't have said it under those circumstances.
Changbai, who was outside, was a little puzzled that his master hadn't come out yet, and tentatively called out, "Young Master?"
Su Yi came out expressionlessly, then went back inside with a flick of his sleeve.
Changbai looked up at the sky and muttered, "The sun isn't that big, so why are Young Master's ears all red from the sun?"
Guan often goes out after finishing his meal.
Finding that both carriages had already returned, he had no choice but to take the Wang family's carriage back.
There was no one in the courtyard, so he went into his room first.
Su Wan was furious when she saw him, and her words were barbed: "Why did you come back? Why don't you go back with them? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to come back to my Su family?"
Guan Chang smiled wryly, "My wife has really wronged me. I am also a member of the Su family."
Su Wan turned away and said, "Then why didn't you come back with me just now? Your words are easier said than done."
Guan Chang explained earnestly, "If the Prince's Mansion were just my uncle's house, I wouldn't mind going, but my sister is at his house, and I can't make things difficult for her."
"We've all left, but I'm afraid my aunt will make things difficult for her."
Su Wan's anger had subsided considerably, but she still deliberately said, "In the end, I'm not as important to your family as you are."
Guan Chang cried out that he was wronged: "Aren't you also a member of the Guan family? We are husband and wife of one mind, so naturally you are more important."
Su Wan was finally satisfied, but then complained, "I won't dare go to that house again next time. I never expected it to be such a family."
Guan Chang gave in, hugging her and coaxing, "Okay, okay, I'll go alone from now on, don't be angry, alright?"
Su Wan said shyly, "You're so annoying!"
After appeasing Su Wan, Guan Chang went to talk to Su Yi for a while before setting off for the restaurant. At that moment, Liu Huan came out and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll go take a look too."
After saying that, he glanced behind him, feeling extremely guilty.
