Chapter 497: Granting You Marriage
This reaction made Su Ying confirm her answer. "Su Yuyan, I originally thought you were not so stupid. You are obviously a lady from the prime minister's mansion, but you want to degrade your status. Guess, if I take this hairpin to find Xiao Shihang, will he admit that it was a gift from him?"
Su Ying's words gradually calmed down Su Yuyan, who was originally panicking.
She raised her chin slightly and revealed her original delicate appearance. "The eldest master will definitely agree. He didn't come to the mansion to propose marriage, but he was worried that his father would not agree since he is now doing business."
"Oh? Really?" Su Ying called the imperial guards and asked him to take the wooden hairpin and go find Xiao Shihang now. "Ask him if he is willing to marry Miss Su Er. If he is, I will grant them marriage immediately."
Su Yuyan showed a hint of anticipation on her face, "Are you serious, Madam?"
Su Ying chuckled, "It's more real than real gold."
Su Yulun lay on the bed without saying a word. Although he was very angry that Su Yuyan did such a stupid thing, he also wanted to know what was going on between Su Yuyan and Xiao Shihang.
The imperial guards found Xiao Shihang who was about to leave the house at the Prince of Jiangning's mansion. When the imperial guards stated their purpose, Xiao Shihang's face changed several times.
"You must have made a mistake. I have never seen this thing before, let alone given it to a woman. It is not something I would do to give privately. If Miss Su has misunderstood anything, I will come to explain it to you some other day to avoid any rift between the two families."
After the imperial guards came back, they conveyed Xiao Shihang's original words to Su Yuyan's ears word for word.
Su Yuyan sat on the ground with a pale face, shaking her head unwillingly, "Impossible, this is impossible, he would never say such a thing!"
Su Ying rubbed her swollen temples and said, "Then I will be a good person and ask for you personally."
Su Ying had long anticipated that even if Su Yuyan would not believe what she didn't want to hear, she directly asked the imperial guards to bring Xiao Shihang back. The person is now in the main courtyard of the Su Mansion.
Su Yuyan was led by Zhou Qing into the main courtyard through the back door, while Su Ying went out through the front door.
Xiao Shihang, who was waiting in the main courtyard, heard the maid's message, stood up and turned around, and saw Su Ying coming towards him.
With just one glance, he withdrew his gaze and stepped forward to salute.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
Su Ying walked past him and sat down in the main seat.
"Xiao Shihang?"
Xiao Shihang turned around and replied, "Yes."
"I heard from my second sister that you two have known each other and fallen in love for a long time, and asked me to grant you marriage. Is this true?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Shihang's eyes very quickly. He was thinking about the truthfulness of Su Ying's words, but Su Ying simply didn't give him too much time to think.
"Xiao Shihang, raise your head."
Xiao Shihang raised his head slowly. He had clear eyebrows and a handsome appearance, especially his peach blossom eyes which were quite alluring. When he was not speaking, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and when he looked at people, there was an undying affection in his eyes. No wonder Su Yuyan was deceived by him.
"Your Majesty, I have indeed met Miss Su Er before, and I have developed a crush on her, but I am now engaged in business and I am afraid that I am not worthy of Miss Su Er's noble status, so I have given up on having such thoughts."
Su Ying raised her eyes and asked, "Why don't you tell the truth to the imperial guards?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that it would ruin the Second Young Lady's reputation."
"Don't be afraid. I've said that as long as you agree, I'll grant you a marriage with my second sister right now."
Xiao Shihang clenched his fists in his sleeves. How could he possibly marry Su Yuyan!
"My queen, marriage is a big matter, and you should only make a decision after discussing it with your father."
"Okay, someone, go and call Prince Jiangning over to me."
! !
Xiao Shihang had heard of Su Ying's reputation for being tyrannical and overbearing before, but he didn't expect it to be so excessive. Anyone could hear that he was making excuses. Su Ying was clearly doing this on purpose!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really cannot marry Miss Su Er. I have secretly sworn to myself that I will never marry or have children until I have made some achievements."
Su Ying leaned back lazily on the chair, "Then why did you provoke my sister? To make achievements? What kind of achievements do you want, achievements below one person, or achievements above ten thousand people?"
Xiao Shihang was shocked, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please understand. I just want to do something practical for the people and be respected like you."
Su Ying sneered, the sarcasm in her laughter almost overflowing, "It's rare that you are a promising young man. If you don't want to get married, I won't make it difficult for you. Back off."
Xiao Shihang quickly raised his head and glanced at Su Ying, as if he didn't expect Su Ying to let him go so easily.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
After Xiao Shihang left, Zhou Qing brought Su Yuyan out from behind the screen.
Su Yuyan's face was distraught, as if her soul had been taken away.
"Did you hear what I just said? I made it very clear."
Su Yuyan fell to the ground, staring at Su Ying with red eyes, "You got what you wanted. I was fooled by others, are you happy?"
Su Ying sneered, "You are not worthy of my concern. I just didn't expect you to be so stupid as to believe a man's words and murder your own father. Why, do you think he can give you more wealth and glory than Su Yulun?"
Su Yuyan's face was as pale as paper.
"Tell me, how did he make you make Su Yulun become what she is now, step by step?"
Su Yuyan pursed her lips tightly and did not speak immediately, "I can say yes, but I have a request."
Su Ying raised her eyelids and sneered, "Su Yuyan, what is the crime of murdering the prime minister? Don't you know what it is?"
Su Yuyan gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to die anyway, so let me take this secret to the underworld!"
Seeing her desperate look, Su Ying slowly sat up straight, "But, don't you know there is a kind of pain in this world called being unable to die? I called Xiao Shihang to do this to you because you also have the last name Su. You should be satisfied, Su Yuyan."
Su Yuyan's face turned even paler. She had seen how ruthless Su Ying was, and she was definitely capable of doing it!
"I'm telling you, I only ask you to give me a good marriage and let me leave the capital!" She couldn't stay in the capital anymore. If she didn't leave, she would die!
Su Ying didn't respond, "Go ahead."
"Yes, it's a food incompatibility. I didn't poison my father. I just let him eat some food that Xiao Shihang asked me to prepare. These foods will not cause any abnormality at first, but if you eat them for a long time, your body will have problems."
Su Ying frowned slightly. It was no wonder that she couldn't find out what was causing the food poisoning after a long period of time. It was indeed insidious enough.
"What did he promise you? That made you do such a stupid thing?" Judging from Su Yuyan's expression, she was not completely in love. There must be a reason.
