Su Mengyan almost invited Cui Mixue to live in the palace, if Situ Yao hadn't glared at her.
"Is that so? It seems Consort Su is quite likable." Situ Yao showed no emotion and did not stay any longer. "I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
"...Your Highness!" Cui Mixue was full of resentment.
This trend is not right. Why is Situ Yao's attention not on me now? Why does it seem...he is more focused on Su Mengyan?
"Oh, right." Situ Yao was actually stopped in his tracks by her call. He paused slightly, turned around and looked at Cui Mixue and said softly, "I wonder if Miss Cui will be free in two days? If she is, I will wait for you at the First Floor."
"available!"
She said that Situ Yao's attention should be on her now, that's the right thing to do! It seems that she was just being overly suspicious.
Situ Yao exchanged a few words with Lord Cui, who had hurried back, and then led Su Mengyan out. As soon as the two of them got on the carriage, Situ Yao pulled Su Mengyan's ears up. His handsome face was so close, but he had a look of gnashing teeth.
"You're so bold that you dare to say things that I haven't even said?"
When he learned in the palace that Su Mengyan had actually used her jade pendant to help Cui Mixue, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, so the matter that would have taken five or six days to resolve was quickly resolved by Situ Yao. He hurried over to bring Su Mengyan back just to settle the score.
"Who gave you the courage?"
Su Mengyan felt like crying but had no tears.
She had clearly been following Situ Yao's instructions, so why was Situ Yao now blaming her? This plot line wasn't right.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I don't know what I have done wrong." Su Mengyan had a sad face and a wronged expression. Her eyes were filled with tears. She asked softly, "Your Highness, please give me some instructions."
Explicitly? How dare you ask him to express it?
Situ Yao became even more irritated, and his men ravaged Su Mengyan's face even harder. The original owner had been thin and frail, a willow that would fall over at the slightest breeze. Su Mengyan, however, was a foodie, and soon she had become plump, even her face now showing a rounder appearance.
His original intention was revenge, but as soon as he pinched Su Mengyan's face, Situ Yao suddenly felt his anger subside. He increased the force in his hands, and after a good rubbing, he withdrew his hands and said coldly, "I asked you to go to the Cui family. When did I ask you to watch what Cui Mixue did every day? When did I ask you to report this to me? And when did I ever say that she was my savior?"
Your Highness, you can't play rogue. You clearly said that before!
Su Mengyan felt like crying but had no tears, but he was the prince and she was just a small concubine. Even if he was really wrong, it was her fault, not Situ Yao's.
"I just guessed what Your Highness meant. It's all my fault." Su Mengyan lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
The attitude of admitting the mistake was quite good. Situ Yao felt that he was not as angry as before. He lowered his eyes to look at Su Mengyan and asked, "Do you know where we are going now?"
Su Mengyan shook her head.
Even if she was guessing Pai Gow, she didn't want to guess Situ Yao's thoughts. This man who could knock out people's teeth to make bracelets was already a pervert in her mind. If she could guess, wouldn't she become a pervert too?
"I want to take you to see someone you are very familiar with."
Someone very familiar?
Su Mengyan thought seriously about the people she knew in this world. Meng Lianlian was dead, and Concubine Liu's body was also dismembered. The only people she had met were Cui Mixue, the second prince, and the fifth princess.
However, judging from the attitudes of Situ Yao and the Second Prince, as well as the Fifth Princess' current situation, none of them seemed like the kind of people Situ Yao would specially rush over to see.
Who could that be?
"Can't guess?" Situ Yao seemed to be in a good mood. He leaned back in the carriage and looked at her with a smile: "You don't have any clue at all?"
Su Mengyan shook her head and told Situ Yao what she had just thought. Then she said, "I really can't guess who Your Highness wants to take me to see."
"You'll know when you get there."
Situ Yao was in high spirits.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city. The moment Su Mengyan got off the car, she even felt that Situ Yao disliked her and planned to assassinate her here.
Fortunately, Situ Yao did not move, but just beckoned her, "Come in."
Only then did he step into the dilapidated temple.
There were no statues left in the temple, only empty tables and chairs and a large empty space. The temple was built very high, and when there was nothing inside, it looked a bit creepy.
Su Mengyan took a step forward and stepped on something, making a crisp sound.
"You'd better be careful. Many people always die in dilapidated temples. You might step on someone with one of your kicks." Situ Yao's cold voice came from the side.
Su Mengyan was so scared that she immediately looked down to make sure that what she stepped on was not a human skeleton.
"Your Highness." Su Mengyan moved closer to Situ Yao timidly and asked in a low voice: "Why did you bring me here? I didn't do anything wrong. If you think I'm unhappy, you can beat or scold me, but don't come here..." to dump the body.
Su Mengyan didn't dare to say the last three words. Who knows if it would give Situ Yao some strange hints.
Situ Yao chuckled, looked up at Su Mengyan, and then said, "What are you thinking about? I brought you here to meet someone, not to keep you here. Or do you not want to serve me anymore?"
She finally realized that she had really offended Situ Yao today, otherwise why would this ancestor have been teasing her all the way?
Just when Su Mengyan was about to speak, someone suddenly jumped out from the side and hugged Su Mengyan's thigh.
"Yan'er!"
"ah!"
Su Mengyan screamed in fright and subconsciously threw herself on Situ Yao. Situ Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and did not refuse this beautiful woman who came to his door. He hugged the three-foot-tall Su Mengyan in his arms and kicked the figure that jumped up away.
"Yan'er, save me! Yan'er, save me!" The man refused to give in and still desperately tried to get closer to Su Mengyan, as if he was grasping at his last straw: "Yan'er, please save me! We are brother and sister, real brother and sister!"
Su Mengyan's eyes widened instantly. The man before her was actually the original owner's biological brother? How could he have fallen to such a state?
