Tang Yan had always thought Lan'er was clever and quick-witted, but she never imagined she had such thoughts.
It's one thing to misunderstand her, but to think of Miss Su like that is another.
Miss Su would never do something like that to her face or behind her back.
However, after hearing Lan'er say that, she was a little afraid that Miss Su was overthinking things.
After all, she was now living in the Prince's mansion, and the Prince treated her well. She really didn't want to upset Miss Su...
"Miss, what do you think? I'll go find the Prince right away."
Seeing that Tang Yan remained silent, Lan'er tried to speak again.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yan snapped out of her daze, her eyes filled with an unreadable expression. She looked up at Lan'er, and just as she was about to speak, there was a commotion at the courtyard gate.
"It must be Miss Su who has arrived!"
Tang Yan happily got up from her seat and went to greet them at the door.
Upon reaching Su Muxi, he merely bowed to Ye Zeyu before focusing all his attention on her.
Seeing that Su Muxi's expression was normal, he was relieved.
Tang Yan came from a poor background, and Su Muxi was afraid that she would be sensitive, so she quickly explained, "I'm sorry I'm a little late. I had prepared a birthday gift for you, but there was an accident and they were all broken."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yan's eyes were filled with emotion.
It turns out Miss Su had also prepared a birthday gift for her…
"I'm already grateful that Miss Su came; I don't need any birthday gifts."
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi patted Tang Yan's hand and laughed, "Still calling me Miss Su? Didn't I tell you to call me Xi'er?"
“…Xi’er!”
Ye Zeyu disliked being around women the most, and he initially didn't want to come. However, seeing the pleading look in Su Muxi's eyes, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Seeing Tang Yan's attitude now, he finally felt relieved.
Therefore, it seems that not everyone repays kindness with enmity. At least Tang Yan, who was saved by Xi'er, seems to be genuinely grateful to Xi'er.
Most importantly, Tang Yan didn't have any inappropriate feelings for him; otherwise, he would have been betraying Tang Hao's dying wish.
The three of them took their seats, and Tang Yan felt a little nervous as she thought about her next plans.
But she was stunned when she saw Ye Zeyu pull out a chair for Su Muxi.
The prince doesn't seem to dislike Miss Su. Could it be that she was wrong before?
Tang Yan suppressed her doubts and observed the interaction between Ye Zeyu and Su Muxi without showing any emotion. The more she looked, the more she felt that the two were mutually in love, and it was not just Su Muxi's one-sided affection.
So if she used that despicable method, wouldn't it backfire?
Su Muxi toasted Tang Yan with tea instead of wine, saying, "The past is gone, and from now on, Yan'er's life will be smooth sailing! Happy birthday, Yan'er! May everything go well for you, and may you enjoy happiness and good health!"
Tang Yan's eyes were a little moist, and she raised her wine glass with a choked voice. She looked at Su Muxi, her lips moved for a long time, and in the end she could only say "thank you".
After downing the drink in one gulp, he poured himself another glass, this time offering it to Ye Zeyu.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me escape this sea of suffering. On this occasion, Yan'er wishes Your Highness and Xi'er a long and happy marriage, and may you be forever united in heart!"
Ye Zeyu liked hearing these words and, unusually, retorted to a woman.
"Then I'll accept Miss Tang's kind words!"
Tang Yan was certain that she had been wrong before.
The prince also liked Miss Su.
She thought to herself, "Miss Su is so wonderful, and the Prince isn't a shallow person, so how could he possibly dislike Miss Su?"
Tang Yan was genuinely happy for Su Muxi. The thought that she could see Su Muxi more often after she married into the royal family made her even happier, and her smile became even brighter.
Although the food was getting cold, it didn't stop Su Muxi from enjoying it.
Ye Ziyu would frequently serve food to Su Muxi, his eyes full of doting affection.
Su Muxi, on the other hand, enjoyed Ye Zeyu's care without any qualms.
"Xi'er, would you like some soup?"
"OK."
Tang Yan was originally considering whether to find an excuse to leave, giving Ye Zeyu and Su Muxi some space to be alone together.
But when she saw Ye Zeyu taking a bowl to serve soup to Su Muxi, she panicked instantly.
Just then, Lan'er spoke up at the opportune moment: "This soup was personally stewed by my young lady for the prince. The prince and Miss Su should drink more of it."
As she spoke, she smiled and picked up an empty bowl from the side, intending to serve soup to Ye Zeyu. However, Ye Zeyu suddenly turned cold and placed the bowl on the table.
Although Lan'er couldn't see Ye Zeyu's face clearly, she could still feel the chill emanating from him.
Her hand trembled slightly as she held the bowl to scoop soup. She glanced nervously at Ye Zeyu, then at Tang Yan with a puzzled look, completely at a loss. There was no trace of her previous scheming demeanor.
Tang Yan looked at Lan'er and sneered inwardly, "This soup is cold, it's not suitable for the Prince and Miss Su to drink it anymore, this bowl of soup is for you."
Lan'er was even more confused, but under Tang Yan's watchful gaze, she had no choice but to drink the soup in her hand.
"Alright, you can go now. You don't need to serve us here anymore."
Tang Yan said coldly.
After Lan'er left, she immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Zeyu and Su Muxi.
When I looked up again, my eyes were clear.
“Your Highness, I am not an ungrateful person. I am already extremely grateful for your help in saving me from this misery. I would never have any improper thoughts about you.”
After saying that, he looked at Su Muxi and said in a deep voice, "Xi'er, I will never become like the Qiao family. Please believe me!"
Shen Yaxin said something similar, and she believed it at the time, but it turns out she believed it too soon.
