Su Sheng felt as if he had been pardoned. His tense shoulders suddenly relaxed. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the prince with gratitude.
At this moment, Prince Xin Yiyong, who had been slowly tearing the roasted chicken wings, seemed to have just noticed the movement here.
He threw the slender bone in his hand into the fire, uttered a slight sneer, and slowly wiped his greasy fingers with a handkerchief. He raised his eyelids, and his eyes, which were naturally cold and sharp, swept over Su Sheng:
"My own sister? Ha..." Xin Yiyong said with a hint of sarcasm, "Master Su, you're so good at telling lies about not having a sister."
He paused, his eyes sweeping over the young royal family members present. "Your Majesty has a flourishing royal family, and you, Young Master Su, have several legitimate sisters from the royal family. Is it the young princess of the Guangping Prince's family? Or the county lady of the Shouchang Marquis's mansion?"
His eyes were chilly, like the wind on a winter night. "Could it be that you think her family isn't as powerful as yours, and you're too lazy to curry favor with her, so she can't be considered your 'sister'?"
Xin Yiyong's words mercilessly exposed the hypocrisy of Su Sheng's previous excuse and exposed to everyone the fact that he himself was not on good terms with his clan members.
The color on Su Sheng's face instantly drained away, and the embarrassment that had just subsided surged back up, mixed with the embarrassment and anger of having his shortcomings exposed in public.
Just when Su Sheng's face turned pale and he was filled with shame and anger, he saw Jiang Songyi, who had been quietly enjoying the roasted chicken leg, put down the chicken leg at some point. There was still a little oil on his little face, but his eyes were extremely bright and determined.
She didn't look at Su Sheng, who had a grim expression, nor at Xin Yiyong, who was cold and sabotaging. Instead, she straightened her back and said crisply:
"Master Yong, you are wrong! The most important thing about intimacy is the feelings."
Jiang Songyi bravely met Xin Yiyong's slightly surprised gaze, and said slowly, "Being connected by blood is a blessing, but being connected by heart is friendship! Brother Su Shi treats me well."
When she said this, she tilted her head slightly and even smiled at Su Sheng, her smile clear and honest. "That's pure sincerity! It's not because I'm a daughter of someone, nor do they expect anything in return! Why shouldn't this kind of care and concern be worthy of being called 'brother'? I think it's so much more precious than those relatives who only have blood ties but are cold and distant, like strangers!"
It's like pouring cold water into boiling oil!
Jiang Yihan felt a chill running from the soles of his feet straight to his forehead, and an indescribable shock and strong dissatisfaction hit his heart like a heavy hammer.
