Chapter 81 Asking for Trouble



Su Jinyue ignored the two of them and just looked at the stall owner on the platform, "Stall owner, you can tell me the result now."

"Please move aside. It's my turn to guess next." Chu Ling laughed sarcastically, "Don't get in the way here!"

The stall owner shook his head and looked at Su Jinyue, "Miss, the Huajin Liuli Lamp is yours."

"What?!"

"Did she really guess it right? How did she guess that the box was empty?!"

As soon as the stall owner finished speaking, discussions suddenly broke out around him!

Chu Ling looked at the stall owner in disbelief, "How is this possible! Did you let her win on purpose just because they have a princess on their side?"

Seeing that the young masters and young ladies around him didn't believe it, the stall owner opened the wooden box in public, and sure enough, it was empty!

"She really guessed it right?!"

"So amazing, how did she know the box was empty?"

The discussions around her made Chu Ling's cheeks turn red with shame and anger. She glared at Su Jinyue fiercely, "Just wait for me!"

She suddenly pushed away the maid beside her and walked out of the crowd!

The stall owner put the colored glass cup into a wooden box and handed it to Su Jinyue, "Miss, this is your first prize, please keep it."

The crowd who had watched the show dispersed at this time.

"Thank you very much."

After Su Jinyue took the wooden box, Yuzhu anxiously tugged at the hem of her clothes.

She looked down at Yuzhu and saw that her eyes were fixed on the wooden box. Su Jinyue handed the wooden box to her and said, "Little princess, this is for you."

Yuzhu took the box and held it in her arms as if it were a treasure, and refused to leave Su Jinyue even for a moment.

Princess Changping rolled her eyes as she watched from the side. "You ungrateful little bastard! I was the one who asked for this glass cup for you first, yet you're so obsessed with it!"

After hearing what Princess Changping said, Yuzhu timidly hid behind Su Jinyue, holding the box and refusing to come out.

"What on earth happened just now?" Ruan Liuzheng asked Princess Changping.

Even though Changping was not satisfied, he still replied to Ruan Liuzheng, "This glass lamp is Yuzhu's treasure. It was taken away by mistake and sent here as a gift. I wanted to get it back for her, but I didn't expect to meet that shrew Chu Ling!"

Princess Changping glanced at Su Jinyue and Yuzhu behind her, "Yuzhu, if you don't come with me, I will leave first and won't wait for you!"

It was originally thought that this threat would make Yuzhu come out from behind Su Jinyue, but what Princess Changping did not expect was that Yuzhu actually hid even more behind Su Jinyue and refused to come out.

"Okay!" Princess Changping's expression turned cold. "Then just follow her! If anything goes wrong, I won't care about you!"

After saying this, Princess Changping really turned around and left with the maid beside her.

Ruan Liuzheng frowned, "How could the Princess of Changping leave the little princess to you and go away by herself!"

"Forget it, that's just her temper." Su Jinyue squatted down and smiled at Yuzhu, "Little Princess, I'll take you to fly a Kongming lantern."

Although she didn't understand what a Kongming lantern was, Yuzhu still pulled Su Jinyue's clothes and nodded, as if she was determined to follow her.

Su Jinyue turned to look at Ruan Liuzheng, "Do you want to go fly the Kongming lantern with us?"

"No."

Ruan Liuzheng raised his chin to her and said, "I still have to take care of the situation with His Majesty. You guys go first and protect the little princess."

"Yes." Su Jinyue nodded, "Then we'll go over first."

Su Jinyue held the little princess's hand and walked to the bank of the Dong River. Xiao Tao bought a Kongming lantern and came back, "Miss, the stall owner and I bought two Kongming lanterns, one large and one small, for the little princess."

"Xie Lang, I want the biggest Kongming lantern!"

Suddenly hearing the familiar voice, Su Jinyue turned around and saw Chu Ling acting coquettishly towards Xie Qingxu.

Chu Ling was holding Xie Qingxu's arm, and asked him with a smile to buy the largest Kongming lantern from the stall owner.

How did the two of them end up together? Su Jinyue was quite surprised.

Noticing Su Jinyue's gaze, Chu Ling looked in Su Jinyue's direction. When she saw it was her, her face immediately turned cold, "It's you?!"

Xie Qingxu also followed her and looked in the direction of Su Jinyue. When he saw Su Jinyue, he subconsciously shook off Chu Ling's hand that was holding him!

"Why are you here too?"

Not wanting to bother with the two of them, Su Jinyue took Yuzhu and walked to the lake, ready to release a Kongming lantern.

Chu Ling, however, dragged Xie Qingxu forward and looked at Su Jinyue with an arrogant voice, "Xie Lang, do you know her?"

Xie Qingxu's expression changed for a moment, but he finally said, "She is Su Jinyue, the one I broke off the engagement with."

"Heh." Chu Ling sneered, and looked at Su Jinyue with an even more impolite look, "So you are the legal wife whose engagement was broken off by the Xie family? It seems that you are indeed not that good."

Xiao Tao was so angry that she wanted to argue with her, but was stopped by Su Jinyue.

She turned her head and glanced at Chu Ling nonchalantly, "Even if you are not well-informed, you should know that it was me who broke off his engagement with the Xie family. There is no point in deceiving yourself."

Chu Ling snorted, "So what? It's because of your misbehavior that I want to cancel the engagement. Do you really think Xie Lang wants to marry you? Xie Lang said that marrying me as his legal wife is the greatest blessing in his life!"

"I thank him for not marrying me."

Su Jinyue's disdainful eyes flickered across Xie Qingxu's face and fell on the Kongming lantern in her hand, "I wish Miss Chu and him a long and happy life together."

The candlelight in the Kongming lantern made Su Jinyue's profile look particularly bright and radiant, which made Xie Qingxu feel itchy. However, due to Chu Ling's presence, he was unable to tell Su Jinyue about his recent distress.

The days when he was away from Su Jinyue were pretty good at first, but as time went on, he missed Su Jinyue's kindness more and more.

His mother's medicine costs one or two taels of gold a month. If Su Jinyue was in Xie's house, he wouldn't have to worry about these things!

Su Jinyue would take out her own dowry to fill the vacancy in the Xie Mansion. Moreover, Su Jinyue was becoming more and more beautiful now, and it would be very face-saving if she was brought out in front of everyone.

Although Chu Ling's family is powerful now, he has to obey her in everything. If something doesn't go her way, he doesn't know how long it will take to coax her!

He was a tall and strong man, and he felt embarrassed to coax Chu Ling every day, but he had no other choice.

Now everything has come to nothing!

All of this can be blamed on Su Jinyue. If she hadn't been so determined to break off the engagement, would it have come to this? !

Isn't it just marrying Zhiyao as a co-wife? Why did she suffer such injustice? !

"Xie Qingxu, why are you staring at her in a daze?!"

Chu Ling saw Xie Qingxu's gaze, which was fixed on Su Jinyue's profile, and she immediately started to throw a tantrum, "Are you still thinking about her and wanting to be with her?!"

She shouted so loudly that she immediately attracted the attention of the people around who were lighting lanterns.

Xie Qingxu couldn't hold back his anger, and his face darkened instantly. However, he didn't dare to get angry at Chu Ling, so he could only lower his voice and ask, "How could it be, how could you think of me like this?"

Even though Xie Qingxu showed weakness, Chu Ling still refused to give in. "I see your eyes are almost glued to her, and you still say no?!"

Feeling embarrassed, Su Jinyue moved to the other side of the river bank, obviously not wanting to bother with the two of them.

But Chu Ling got excited when she saw Su Jinyue's actions. She raised her finger and pointed at Su Jinyue and said, "You seduced my Xie Lang in front of me. I will tear your face apart!"

She did not have the reserved spirit of a young lady from a wealthy family. She rushed towards Su Jinyue while cursing!

Xie Qingxu was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so he hurried forward to stop the person, "Chu Ling! Today is the Lantern Festival, stop making trouble."

"You told me to stop making trouble?!" Chu Ling turned around and slapped Xie Qingxu, looking at him with cold eyes, "You are now speaking for her, and you told me to stop making trouble!"

"Xie Qingxu, do you still want to marry me?!"
