Chapter 298 Su Xue is targeted by Murong Yi
In the jewelry shop, Chen Ying had already paid the silver. She came out with the jewelry box and said with a smile, "Your Highness, I've got the things. It's not even noon yet, so there's nothing to do back home. How about I accompany Your Highness to the teahouse next door for some tea? The tea there is very good, and there are storytellers and even singers here. I just have to see if they're available today."
In fact, drinking tea, listening to books and music are all her favorite things. She likes to come here when she has nothing to do.
During this period, Murong Yi seemed like a different person. He treated her very well and even moved in with her.
He even made custom jewelry for her.
Chen Ying thought that her true feelings finally moved Murong Yi.
Today is a good day, so let him accompany her to drink tea and listen to some music.
In fact, the tea in the teahouse is not as delicious as the tribute tea in the palace. She just wants Murong Yi to accompany her.
Murong Yi's eyes turned, and he immediately smiled gently: "Okay, I will accompany the princess today, as long as the princess is happy."
As he spoke, he took Chen Ying's hand and went to the teahouse, and they also went to the second floor.
As soon as I went upstairs, I saw Su Xue and a man sitting at a table, both of them looking out the window.
His eyes darkened, and he and Chen Ying chose a seat by the window, ordered some refreshments, and then drank their tea nonchalantly.
The tea tasted unusually bland at first, and was hard for him to swallow. But seeing Chen Ying drinking it with relish, he stopped talking and glanced at Su Xue from time to time. She looked indifferent, while Chen Zihao's face looked unhappy. It was obvious that the two of them were having a quarrel.
Murong Yi curled the corners of his lips. He recognized Chen Zihao, but he didn't know Su Xue.
He knew who Chen Zihao was, a second-generation rich man, and he didn't know what means he used to deceive the girl.
Just when he was lost in thought, the guard arrived.
They all came out in casual clothes, so few people recognized them.
The guard standing nearby winked at him.
Murong Yi glanced at Chen Ying who was eating pastries. He stood up and said something in her ear. Chen Ying nodded to him.
Murong Yi and the guard immediately headed towards the guest quarters. When they turned the corner and Chen Ying was out of sight, the guard whispered to him, "Your Highness, that woman's name is Su Xue. She's the second daughter of the second branch of the Marquis of Anding's mansion, and she's Princess Li's cousin."
"Su Yue's cousin?"
Haha, interesting. He had once thought about Su Yue and didn’t want to meet Su Xue here.
He narrowed his eyes. He had never seen Su Xue last year in Northwest County. He didn't expect that Su Xue looked so pure and lovely. She was exactly his type. Otherwise, he would have taken her as his concubine long ago.
Murong Yi snorted coldly. Murong Li was promoting the Marquis of Anding Mansion vigorously, so let him promote it. The higher the better, so that he could reap the benefits later.
Doesn’t he still have two vacancies for concubines, one for Su Xue and one for Chen Fanghua?
Although the Old Duke's Mansion has faded out of the court, its strength cannot be underestimated and is worth winning over.
And Chen Fanghua is so beautiful.
Thinking that these three beautiful women would always be by his side in the future, Murong Yi felt it was worth it.
This was something he had never dared to think about in his previous life, but here, as long as he wanted, he could enjoy the beauty of others.
The two stood there for a while before returning to Chen Ying.
He told Chen Ying that he was going to the toilet, but in fact he came to listen to the guard telling him about Su Xue. He couldn't let Chen Ying know about it now, lest she ruin his plan.
Su Xue didn't know that Murong Yi was targeting her. She and Chen Zihao were in a stalemate. Neither of them wanted to talk or leave, and no one knew what they were insisting on.
Just then, Xiao Hong hurried over and whispered something in Su Xue's ear. Su Xue frowned and immediately stood up and said to Chen Zihao, "Brother Zihao, I'll go back first. In this case, let's not meet again in the future."
Xiaohong told her that someone from the Marquis' Mansion was looking for her and asked her to go back quickly, saying that the princess had already arrived at the Marquis of Anding's Mansion.
As soon as the servant said that the princess was coming, Su Xue immediately thought that her elder sister must have told her family about what happened between Chen Zihao and her, so she came to find her and took her back.
She would definitely face anger when she returned, but she felt it was worth it. At least she had seen clearly that Chen Zihao was not worthy of her entrusting her life to.
If she had gotten engaged and married like everyone else, she would have been the one to suffer in the end.
After Su Xue finished speaking, she left quickly.
Chen Zihao finally came back to his senses. He looked at Su Xue's departing back gloomily, drank the rest of the tea in one gulp, and then hurried downstairs.
After going downstairs, he hurriedly got on the carriage and came to the back door of Xiangyi Courtyard. He asked the servant to knock on the door. After the door opened, the servant's face appeared. Seeing that it was Chen Zihao, he immediately smiled flatteringly: "It's Mr. Chen, the second master. Please come in. Miss Xiangya has been waiting for you for a long time."
Chen Zihao nodded, exchanged a glance with the servant behind him, and immediately entered Xiangyi Courtyard.
Xiangyiyuan is a paradise for men and a famous brothel in the capital. It is run by a friend of Chen Zihao. When Chen Zihao visits the brothel, he never goes through the front door and never lets anyone know that he is there. He always comes in through the back door.
Chen Zihao walked to the door of Xiangya Hospital as if he knew the place well, knocked on the door and went in. Soon after, he heard sounds that were not suitable for children.
About half an hour later, Chen Zihao came out with a porcelain bottle in his hand, and then hurried out of Xiangyiyuan.
After coming out, he immediately took a carriage back to the old Duke's Mansion and went to Fanghua Courtyard, ready to look for Chen Fanghua. When he found that she was not there, he had to go back and wait.
On the other side, Su Xue quickly returned to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion and went straight to the Xuemei Courtyard of Madam Su Er.
Mrs. Su Er loved plum blossoms, so she planted plum blossoms in her yard, and named it Xuemei Courtyard.
"Mother."
Su Xue shouted as she entered the yard.
Madam Su Er was sulking alone. When she heard Su Xue's cry, she immediately asked the nanny to bring Su Xue in.
When she saw Su Xue coming in, Madam Su said sternly with a sullen face, "Kneel down."
Su Xue was stunned. Her mother asked her to kneel, and her mother was angry.
From childhood to adulthood, her mother had never said a harsh word to her, let alone asked her to kneel.
Her eyes turned red and she fell to her knees with a thud.
"Mother, Xue'er knows she's wrong."
Su Xue admitted her mistake immediately. She didn't need to think about what her mother was angry about. She was serious about admitting her mistake. She had never done anything rebellious since she was a child. This was the first time and the most inappropriate time.
It hurt my mother's heart.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Su's anger subsided by half. She softened her tone and said, "Tell me what's going on?"
Seeing that Mrs. Su Er's anger had subsided a lot, Su Xue told the whole story in a wronged manner. Of course, she did not mention anything about Su Yue.
