Chapter 290 Su Xue's Warning
Su Xue took a deep breath and looked at Chen Fanghua thoughtfully. She came to see them now. What was she doing before?
Although the old Duke's Mansion has declined, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse and should not be underestimated. As a legitimate daughter, she could have extended a helping hand to them, but she did not do so throughout the whole process. Only after the Su family returned to Beijing and everything was settled did she come to her to talk about this.
What does Chen Fanghua mean?
Su Xue didn't think that she was here just to show concern for the Su family and remind them to be careful that their elder sister might harm others.
The eldest sister is already married, so how could she harm the Su family? The real harm should be to Prince Li. The person she should be reminding is not the Su family but Prince Li.
What is her purpose in doing this?
Su Xue was guessing Chen Fanghua's purpose in her heart. Did she want to go back to the Su family? That was simply impossible.
So what was her purpose in trying so hard to provoke her elder sister?
Su Xue couldn't figure out Chen Fanghua's purpose at once, so she looked at her coldly and asked, "Then what is your purpose?"
Of course, Chen Fanghua would not reveal her purpose. She smiled and said, "Sister Xue'er, what do you think of me? What purpose could I have? I just wanted to remind you."
Su Xue curled her lips, thinking it was hypocritical. She sneered, "Sister Fanghua really treats me like a three-year-old child. You knew my eldest sister was already married to Prince Li, but you didn't remind Prince Li, but reminded me instead. You said you had no purpose. Who would believe that?"
After saying that, he stared at Chen Fanghua without blinking, to see if there was any expression on her face.
Sure enough, when Chen Fanghua heard Su Xue's words, her face froze. She didn't expect Su Xue to become so smart. She was different from before and could not fool her at all.
Chen Fanghua smiled faintly and said, "Sister Xue'er, are you so ungrateful? We used to have the best relationship in the Marquis' Mansion. If I don't look for you, who else can I look for? Can't I also care about the Su Mansion? And who would believe this if I told others?"
Su Xue rolled her eyes at her: "You also know that no one will believe this kind of thing even if you tell it. And it's best if you don't have any purpose. If you do have a purpose, hmph, you know what I mean."
Su Xue's words were a warning, meaning that as long as she dared to say or do anything that was detrimental to the Su family, she would spread what happened today and see who would be unlucky.
Chen Fanghua's expression changed. She hadn't expected this silly girl to have such a powerful side. She had underestimated her. She immediately smiled and said, "Sister Xue'er, what are you talking about? Today, this is between you and me. No one else will know."
"I hope you keep your word, then I'll go back."
This time, regardless of whether Chen Fanghua tried to stop her or not, Su Xue immediately walked to the door, opened it, called Xiaohong, and hurried downstairs.
In the private room, Chen Fanghua looked out the door with resentment on her face. She didn't expect that she would be defeated by this little girl Shu Xie. She originally wanted to stir up conflict between Su Yue and Su Xue, but now she has exposed herself. She regretted it very much.
After Su Xue left the teahouse, she thought that she had to let her elder sister know about this matter, but thinking that she was still in the palace, she simply went back to the Marquis' Mansion, told Madam Su Er, and hurried to Prince Li's Mansion without even eating.
She wanted to wait here for Su Yue to come back, tell her what happened, and be on guard against Chen Fanghua.
She also thought that with her elder sister's intelligence, she should be able to guess Chen Fanghua's purpose.
She was afraid that Chen Fanghua would not be able to achieve her goal and would suffer the consequences. It didn't matter if she, Chen Fanghua, died, but she couldn't let her elder sister be implicated.
No matter who the elder sister is, as long as she is good to the Su family, she is still her elder sister, so it doesn’t matter who she is.
Su Yue in the palace didn't know that her mask had been removed. Today, she had some time and came to Xihe Palace. Seeing Concubine Yun, who had lost her minions, was quiet, she felt much more comfortable seeing Concubine Yun like this.
When she left, she pulled Nanny Chen into the palace and asked, "Nanny, is Mother Consort okay?"
Nanny Chen looked at her deeply and said, "The Queen is fine. Thank you, Princess, for your concern."
Concubine Yun was fine, and had returned to her previous state, but she was even more aloof than before, with an air of keeping strangers away, and even her personal nanny couldn't get close to her.
Nanny Chen knew that it was Concubine Yun who was blaming her, but Concubine Yun had no idea of her good intentions. She was doing it for her own good. If she continued like that, there was no doubt about the consequences.
It’s better to be in this state now, at least nothing will happen.
Su Yue nodded: "That's good. Mother and I cooked something. Let her eat a little. It can nourish her body. Her health is not very good."
Give a slap in the face and then give him a sweet date. This method is needed when necessary.
Concubine Yun was not in good health to begin with, and the meals she cooked could indeed improve her condition.
Although Murong Li did not blame her for what she did to Concubine Yun, she could see that he still cared about Concubine Yun very much.
"Yes, thank you, Princess."
Nanny Chen bowed to Su Yue and took the food box from her.
"Just don't tell Mother that I did this."
Su Yue noticed that Nanny Chen hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but not saying it, so she spoke first.
Nanny Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll thank the princess here, and then I'll go in. If the queen doesn't see me for a long time, she will look for me."
"Okay, I'll go back then."
After Su Yue finished speaking, she left without looking back. She also prepared the emperor's dinner and returned to the imperial kitchen. She instructed the imperial chef, the same imperial chef who had gone to Xihe Palace with her yesterday, and asked him to tell Murong Li that she would leave the palace first.
The royal chef nodded in agreement.
Su Yue quickly left the palace. There was no carriage waiting outside, so she went out by herself and came to the street entrance not far from the palace gate. There was a shop here that specialized in renting carriages.
The shopkeeper was quite smart. He knew that not everyone who went in and out of the palace had a carriage, so he opened a carriage rental company here.
Su Yue rented a carriage and told the driver to go to South City, where the three-story building was.
South City is the most prosperous area in Beijing and also the commercial center.
It took half an hour to get to Nancheng. When she arrived, she saw that the third floor was being renovated. Hongying was very surprised to see her and immediately invited her into the building.
"Princess, why are you here? Tell someone to send someone to pick you up."
Hongying saw that she came here in a rented carriage.
"I just came here to look around and check out the other three shops."
Hongying's energy is all focused on this auction house and she has no time to take care of the other three shops.
She took advantage of the time today to go and take a look at the three shops to see what the layout was like inside and what she could do.
We can’t let those three shops go to waste. Shops in the capital are very expensive, so the sooner they open, the sooner the income will come.
"Then let me accompany you?" Hongying said.
Su Yue did not refuse: "Okay."
