"Xie Qingxu! Who are you going to marry?!"
Su Zhiyao saw that there was some excitement here, and when she came over she heard Chu Ling's words. She looked at Xie Qingxu as if struck by lightning, and she couldn't believe her ears!
When Xie Qingxu saw Su Zhiyao, his face turned pale and he froze in place.
Chu Ling smiled sarcastically when she saw Su Zhiyao. "Mr. Xie asked me out today. I thought you were under house arrest, so I didn't ask you to go with me. I didn't expect Miss Su to be here too."
Su Zhiyao's eyes were filled with tears, and she walked towards Xie Qingxu, "Xie Qingxu, what did you say at the beginning? You asked His Majesty for a marriage, but now you don't want to marry me, and you are flirting with others..."
Seeing her adorable appearance, Xie Qingxu couldn't bear it, "Zhiyao..."
Chu Ling turned around and glared at him, then looked at Su Zhiyao, "Xie Lang has already proposed marriage to my father, and you are just a co-wife. Do you want to marry into the Xie Mansion before me?"
"Of course we have to choose a good day. I, the legal wife, will enter through the front gate, and you can just pick a day and carry her into the mansion through the side gate."
Su Zhiyao was so angry that she almost couldn't hold back her expression. If she was asked to go in through the side door, what difference would it make between her and becoming a concubine!
She looked at Xie Qingxu with tears in her eyes, "Qingxu, I am your concubine whom you obtained through the imperial decree. If you enter through the side door, how will the people look at you?"
After all, Xie Qingxu also loves Su Zhiyao and doesn't want her to be wronged. He looks at Chu Ling and says, "It's not convenient to discuss this matter today. Let's talk about it in a few days. Don't make a fuss here!"
"You want to shut me up just for her?!"
Chu Ling looked at Su Zhiyao coldly, "You two sisters are not good people. The reputation of your daughters in the Su family is rotten! Do you think you are from a virtuous family?"
Su Jinyue handed the little princess to Xiaotao, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. "Today is the Lantern Festival, and everyone is out celebrating. I don't want to cause trouble."
"But if I report this to His Majesty, will you still be so domineering?"
Chu Ling was not afraid of Su Jinyue at all, "What? I touched your sore spot, are you angry because of shame?!"
"Your Majesty announced to the world some time ago that I am a divine doctor who has saved countless lives. In the imperial decree granting me marriage, Your Majesty also said that I am virtuous. But today, Miss Chu slandered me. Does she not take Your Majesty's words seriously?"
"you!"
No matter how arrogant Chu Ling was, she broke out in a cold sweat when she heard Su Jinyue's words. "What nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with His Majesty?"
"It's obviously your own fault. When you broke off the engagement with Xie Lang, General Xiao asked for permission to marry you. Who knows what happened between you two? Don't try to scare me with His Majesty!"
"Ms. Chu, please tell me what happened between me and Miss Su."
When a steady voice sounded, Su Jinyue immediately looked to the side. Although Xiao Duo was wearing casual clothes today, he was also wearing a dark robe. Every step he took closer made people feel scared.
When Chu Ling saw Xiao Duo, she immediately grabbed Xie Qingxu's sleeve and dared not say anything nonsense.
Xiao Duo walked up to Su Jinyue, curled his lips at her, turned his head without a trace of smile in his eyes, and said, "Speak."
"I..." Chu Ling grabbed Xie Qingxu's sleeve for help.
Xie Qingxu could only grit his teeth and look at Xiao Duo, "Ling'er was just joking, General Xiao, please don't take it to heart."
"This general has taken this matter to heart." Xiao Duo said coldly, "You slandered Miss Su in front of so many people. Just a joke, are you going to let it go like this?"
"That...what the young general means is."
"Apologize to Miss Su."
Asking Chu Ling to apologize to Su Jinyue would be better than killing her. She just scolded her angrily. Now she is asked to bow her head and apologize. How can she be willing to do that!
"I won't!" Chu Ling said, "Why should I apologize? The imperial decree granting the marriage came so quickly, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. Does the young general want everyone to apologize to her?!"
Xiao Duo spoke word by word: "I asked for the marriage."
"I've been in love with Miss Su for a long time. How about that? Is that not possible?!"
Su Jinyue didn't expect Xiao Duo to say this. She looked at the profile of the person next to her in surprise. His chiseled profile looked even more handsome in the night.
"This marriage was granted by His Majesty. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell His Majesty. What's the point of just gossiping here?" Su Jinyue said in a cold voice.
Xie Qingxu quickly stopped Chu Ling and said in a low voice: "If a quarrel really breaks out, the Shangshu may be in trouble. Ling'er should just forget about it today."
Chu Ling looked at Xie Qingxu, "You are so useless!"
She was embarrassed and wanted to leave, but Xiao Duo stopped her in her tracks with one sentence, "Apologize!"
Everyone's eyes were on them. If they didn't apologize today, they might not be able to leave!
Chu Ling was angry, but now she could do nothing about it. She gritted her teeth and looked at Su Jinyue, "I'm sorry!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran out. Xie Qingxu quickly followed her, "Ling'er!"
"Qingxu!" Su Zhiyao called out to Xie Qingxu from behind, but the man didn't hear it at all and ran out directly after Chu Ling.
Su Jinyue looked at Xiao Duo and smiled, "Didn't you say that you couldn't fly the Kongming lantern with me today?"
"I meant later."
Xiao Duo looked at her, his dark eyes glittering with a smile, "This is our first time flying sky lanterns, so I can't be absent."
Xiao Tao looked at Huanxi and said, "Then I'll go buy another Kongming lantern!"
Su Zhiyao, who was on the other side, saw Xiao Duo and Su Jinyue together, looking at Xie Qingxu in the distance. She did not chase after them, but came to their side.
"Sister, can I follow you?"
Su Jinyue didn't look at her, but squatted down, holding the little princess's hand and writing and drawing on the Kongming lantern, "Little princess, what wish do you want to make?"
