"Ultimately, it's still the Chen family's fault!"
Cui Yun'er then said sadly, "But when I think about how Chen Siyi had married my cousin back then, and how she wasn't a good person either, my cousin would have been just as pitiful."
Su Xuerong looked at Cui Yun'er's worried face and couldn't help but laugh: "Look at you, the Prince of Fenyang you mentioned is actually a pitiful person. Then there are no happy people in the world."
Cui Yun'er said, "Oh dear, you didn't understand what I meant. I meant that neither of the two women my cousin wants to marry are the ones he likes. I heard from Ming Shu that he met a young lady he liked in the north a few years ago, but he gave up on her because she came from a poor family. As a result, over the past few years, he has met many women who want to marry him, but none of them are as good as that young lady..."
Su Xuerong was quite surprised to hear this: "There's such a thing?"
He sneered inwardly. Years ago, Xiao Yuan had been in love with a woman, but he had to give up because she came from a poor family.
He truly loved that woman; otherwise, he could have married her and made her his concubine.
But on that day at Jujing Garden, she didn't think Xiao Yuan was someone who couldn't forget his old flame.
It seems that people do change.
"I don't know. Ming Shu only knew the general idea. He didn't know the specifics at the time. Maybe we just weren't meant to be!" Cui Yun'er said regretfully.
Su Xuerong smiled, though she pursed her lips.
When she smiled, her features were delicate and graceful, like dewdrops in the morning light. Cui Yun'er was mesmerized: "What are you laughing at?"
“When I met the Prince that day, I didn’t think he was such a nostalgic person. Otherwise, why would he want me to be his concubine?” Su Xuerong said with a smile.
Cui Yun'er sighed: "I guess it's because I ran into you... Anyway, in the days before my cousin goes back to Hangzhou, don't go anywhere, and you'd better tell your family to go out less too."
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. What if Liu Qiao'er went mad and splashed mercury on Yuan'er's face?
It would be a terrible thing to smear anyone in the Su family's face!
As the two were talking, Su Xuerong saw Chen Shi walk in through the side gate at the front.
She came to pick up Su Jian.
However, Madam Chen probably didn't expect Su Xuerong to have guests in the backyard, and she became flustered and hurriedly took Su Jian away.
Su Xuerong frowned slightly as she looked at Chen's flustered expression.
