Chapter 342: The tide turns
Jiacheng also noticed that Su Wan was not very comfortable, so he said:
"Sister, why don't I take you somewhere else to have a look?"
Su Wan was feeling uncomfortable, so she was naturally happy to hear her say that. She felt so awkward here that the conversation was completely awkward.
Everyone was smart and knew what Jiacheng meant, so they tactfully didn't follow him.
The two left the crowded place, and Jiacheng prepared to take her to sit by the fence beside the pond to feed the fish.
The pond in Prince Xiang's Mansion is particularly large, and a pavilion can be built on it. There are long corridors on both sides, benches under the corridors, and bird cages hanging in some places. The pond is full of koi.
Before they reached the place, Gu Yue came out from the corner with her maid. The maid beside her was no longer Chen Yinghong, but another maid with an unfamiliar face.
It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. The scene is similar, but now the positions have changed and it's Su Wan's turn to look at her.
Gu Yue was quite surprised to run into Su Wan here. She had heard about Su Wan's affairs and could only say that Su Wan was quite generous. He donated such a huge family business just like that.
Before, she was a county lady and Su Wan was the daughter of an official. She was waiting for her to pay her respects to her. But only a short time has passed and she has become a princess. She has to pay her respects to her in return.
She knew that Su Wan must be there today, and was trying to avoid her on purpose, but who knew that enemies would meet on a narrow road.
Jiacheng was also there, so she had no choice but to bow.
"Greetings to Princess Jiacheng, and Princess Xuanle."
Su Wan smiled with satisfaction. It was great. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. Finally, things have changed.
Looking at Su Wan's smug smile, Gu Yue was so angry that she clenched her fists.
Just wait, after you marry Brother Sheng, you still have to bow to me. Can you climb higher than the prince's wife?
"Hello, County Lady Huaimin." Jiacheng greeted her immediately.
Gu Yue nodded, then said:
"My two princesses, I still have to go pay my respects to the princess, so I'll excuse myself first."
Gu Yue didn't want to stay here with Su Wan for a moment, otherwise she would be suppressed by her.
Well, Su Wan didn’t want to see her either.
After Gu Yue left, Su Wan and Jiacheng fed the fish here. Not long after, Su Jing and Su Chen came over after finishing their court session.
Murong Huai was also traveling with them. When they arrived, they first went to see the prince, then went to celebrate the princess' birthday, and then went to look for his mother and sister.
Gu Yue stepped into the flower hall to wish the princess a happy birthday. When she sat down, Su's mother was sitting opposite her.
Mother Su was not surprised to see Gu Yue, as she had heard about her affairs from the children.
However, when their eyes met, Gu Yue saw tears in her eyes, and Su's mother looked away unnaturally, refusing to look at her.
That incident could not be forgotten in her mind. She had raised a child for more than ten years. Although the family was not well off, she still raised the child by holding him in her hands for fear of dropping him and holding him in her mouth for fear of melting him.
Afterwards, what she did to the fourth child made her realize that this daughter was not suitable to stay in their Su family after all. Everyone in their Su family cared about each other. In times of crisis, they only thought about how to protect each other and would never drag each other to pay with their lives.
She was disappointed, and after a long time, she felt dazed. When they met again, she was not surprised, but just felt embarrassed.
Soon, Su Jing, Su Chen, and Murong Huai arrived, congratulated the princess on her birthday, and then left.
During the process, Su Jing and Su Chen ignored Gu Yue.
Even if he glanced at it, he quickly and calmly looked away, which made Gu Yue's heart feel like it had fallen into an ice cave.
Su Wan is so lucky. After leaving the Gu family and returning to the Su family, it has only been a year, and she is still the respected eldest daughter, with no shortage of people serving her. Now her brothers have become successful, but their love no longer belongs to her. They only stand behind Su Wan and watch her coldly.
Su Jing and Su Chen went to look for Su Wan, and finally found Su Wan in the corridor. She was talking and laughing with Princess Jiacheng.
Princess Jiacheng is straightforward and unpretentious. It is said that although she is a girl, her hobbies include riding horses, archery, playing polo and throwing pots.
During every royal hunt, she always managed to catch a lot of prey, comparable to a female hero.
It's very comfortable to get along with such a person. You don't need to be deliberate or worry about saying the wrong thing. Su Wan actually likes Princess Jiacheng very much.
"Wanwan!" Su Chen called her from behind.
The two princesses turned around at the same time, and Su Wan's smile deepened when he saw that it was his eldest brother and third brother.
"Big Brother, Third Brother."
As the three approached, the two princesses discovered that the Seventh Prince was also there and quickly stood up.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."
"Greetings to the Seventh Prince." Jiacheng and the Seventh Prince are cousins.
"Don't be polite. You don't need to be polite with me." The seventh prince was quite approachable. He put his hand on Su Chen's shoulder and smiled freely.
"It's you, do you still remember me?"
Jiacheng was quite surprised to see Su Chen, so she asked in surprise.
Su Wan smelled something unusual, so he stared at his third brother.
Su Chen looked at Princess Jiacheng and felt that she looked very familiar, and then he remembered.
"It's you. It turns out you are Princess Jiacheng!" He knocked his head and remembered Yinghong. Then he looked at Princess Jiacheng as if he suddenly realized something.
Jiacheng nodded vigorously and smiled brightly:
"Yes, it's me. I didn't expect you to be Princess Xuanle's third brother. What a coincidence."
"Hey, what happened between you two that we don't know about? Tell us about it." Murong Huai raised his eyebrows at Su Chen and joked.
"There's no story. The Seventh Prince was just joking." Su Chen felt a little uncomfortable.
Su Jing was also quite curious. His third brother had met Princess Jiacheng, so everyone was waiting for his explanation.
Seeing that everyone was curious, Jiacheng began to explain.
It turned out that a few days ago, Su Chen took office as the lieutenant general of the city defense camp and patrolled the streets on horseback at night.
Jiacheng sneaked out of the palace to play and had her jade pendant stolen. Fortunately, she discovered it in time. She shouted and was about to chase after the thief, but Su Chen happened to run into her, jumped off his horse, and then used his lightness skills to catch the thief in a few moves, winning everyone's cheers. The pedestrians on the street applauded.
Su Chen returned the jade pendant to Jiacheng, then mounted his horse and left without even looking back. Jiacheng didn't even ask his name and thought he was very cold.
However, seeing that Su Chen admired her very much, he kept it in mind.
So that's how it happened. What a coincidence.
"Well, I still have to thank you for helping me find the jade pendant. It was given to me by my brother and it is very important to me." Jiacheng thanked Su Chen with a blushing face.
The two brothers came to the palace after changing into casual clothes after the court session. Su Chen was wearing a black robe. He didn't dress neatly today. His sleeves were let down, which gave him a bit of the noble air of a young master.
Su Chen is a handsome man, the kind of handsome that is very manly, and you can get to know him as a sports student.
"You are too polite, Princess. This is what I should do. Even if I were not the lieutenant commander of the city defense camp, I would still take action if I encountered such a thing."
Su Chen's smile was a little silly, and his main point was that he was willing to help others.
