She observed the grooms and noticed a tall, strong young man intently examining the hooves of a black horse.
When he turned around, he glanced in this direction and was immediately taken aback.
When Su Xuerong saw the handsome man who didn't look like a coachman at all, she immediately understood and chuckled, "He doesn't seem to know you're here?"
Sure enough, when the man saw Cui Yun'er, his eyes turned cold, and he lowered his head to avoid her gaze.
Cui Yun'er looked somewhat embarrassed and annoyed: "That blockhead!"
The autumn air was crisp and clear, and Xiuchun had already instructed people to prepare tables and chairs, and to serve tea and snacks.
Su Xuerong and Cui Yun'er sat down under the sunlit tent, smiling as they looked around at the hunting grounds nestled against the mountains and by the water.

As Cui Yun'er spoke, her eyes immediately reddened.
Su Xuerong was very surprised.
I had only assumed that she had her eye on a poor man, but I never expected that the entire Qiu family were victims of the Xiao family.
Cui Yun'er is Xiao Yuan's cousin, so Qiu Cheng would definitely not accept her.
"Your marriage... I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult," Su Xuerong couldn't help but say.
Cui Yun'er looked dejected: "I know! He refused to accept me because he knew my identity..."
