Chapter 113: Arrival at the Yan Family
Su Tan: “…”
The corner of Su Tan's mouth twitched slightly, "Why are my eyesight not working well again?"
The tiger demon snorted and looked at Su Tan with naked disdain. "Your eyesight is still working? If your eyesight was working, why would you stick with Song for so long?"
Su Tan: “…”
Su Tan opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know where to start.
The tiger demon flicked its tail and said, "Hmm, luckily you didn't come out of it when you heard the auditory hallucination today, otherwise I would laugh at you for the rest of my life."
After all, Song Tingchen is an ungrateful person.
Song Xiao is an ungrateful little bastard.
If Su Tan heard the ungrateful little ungrateful boy cry and immediately let go of the past grudges, then not only would his reputation in the world be ruined.
In the demon and ghost worlds, he also lost all face.
Sui Sui hugged Su Tan's long legs, poked her little head out from behind her, and looked at the tiger demon unhappily, "Don't say bad things about Fairy Sister!"
The tiger snorted and swung his tail, "If she doesn't look good again in the future, I'll tell her again!"
The tiger demon said, glancing at Su Tan, "Don't be blind like before, or I'll laugh at you every time I see you."
Su Tan raised her hand to support her forehead. In fact, sometimes she also wanted to report to the police.
She took a look and handed the bracelet on her hand to the tiger demon, "This is for you, shut up."
The tiger demon swung its tail and said nothing more in an instant.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the one who eats the food he eats.
Be lenient when taking things from others.
As long as Master Su gives enough, he will shut up quickly.
When we returned to the inn, the sky was already turning pale.
The group continued their journey and finally arrived in Lanzhou at 3:15 pm.
The gate of Yan's mansion was wide open.
The Yan family and their entourage were waiting respectfully at the door.
Su Tan glanced up at the Yan family, frowned slightly, and said nothing.
"Royal brother..."
After Princess Jingxi finished her ceremony, tears welled up in her eyes and she seemed a little excited.
However, perhaps because she was already a married woman, she finally restrained herself.
Old Madam Yan had a smile on her face, and she was very respectful towards Lu Zhiheng, Su Tan and others.
It's impossible to find fault with it.
Even when facing Princess Jingxi, she adhered to the duties of a subject.
Su Tan looked around inconspicuously but said nothing.
Lu Zhiheng held Sui Sui in his arms and asked in a voice that only Su Tan could hear, "Is there any problem?"
Su Tan gave him a look, indicating no.
Lu Zhiheng frowned.
No problem?
She walked through the hanging flower gate and arrived at the flower hall. The servants of the Yan family placed tea, snacks, and fruits in order. Su Tan's eyes fell on the maid who served her tea.
This maid is not bad, but...
However, all the servants of the Yan family had exact expressions and movements; even the curve of their lips was accurate to the last detail.
When the maid was putting the cut fruits into Su Tan's bowl, Su Tan suddenly felt dizzy as if from the long journey. He tilted his body to the side and fell on the maid.
"Su Tan!"
Song Tingchen's palms tightened and he stood up uncontrollably.
After realizing what he was doing, a serious self-deprecating smile appeared on his face again. His eyes seemed to be covered with frost and snow, and the coldness buried all the emotions that should not exist.
Lu Zhiheng's gaze fell on Su Tan. Seeing his tightly closed eyes and the rigid expressions and movements of everyone present, he finally realized where the sense of separation and discomfort he felt subconsciously came from.
The Yan family is very respectful and never makes mistakes in their words and actions.
However, the mistake was caused precisely by being too perfect.
Even now, facing the sudden situation of Su Tan fainting, no one in the Yan family showed a trace of surprise on their faces. Lu Zhiheng wanted to see some ripples in their eyes to find evidence that the Yan family had other emotions.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
Only Princess Jingxi Lu Yao showed a look of astonishment, her eyes filled with worry.
Although Madam Yan had sent for the palace physician, Princess Jingxi was still worried and couldn't help but go to see Lu Zhiheng, "Emperor...Emperor, what happened to Miss Su?"
When he heard her speak, Lu Zhiheng's frown suddenly relaxed.
Finally, someone gave him a human-like reaction.
Lu Zhiheng shook his head and smiled at Princess Jingxi, "It shouldn't be a big deal."
"She's a little weak from the long journey. I think she'll be fine after some rest."
Upon hearing this, Song Tingchen's brows were almost twisted into a knot.
Princess Jingxi blinked, noticing Song Tingchen's expression. Perhaps because she was used to reading people's expressions, she subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with General Song?"
Song Tingchen paused, then bowed to Princess Jingxi and said, "Princess, I'm fine."
Princess Jingxi seemed to be asking only symbolically. After hearing the answer, she just said "oh" and said no more.
She didn't know anything about what happened between Su Tan and Song Tingchen, but she was just surprised why her father not only asked her brother to come see her this time, but also asked a girl from the Su family to accompany him.
When no one was around, Princess Jingxi and Lu Zhiheng sat together in silence for a long time. Finally, she broke the awkward silence and asked cautiously, "Royal brother, you...what is your relationship with Miss Su?"
Lu Zhiheng's eyebrows jumped violently. How could he not know that Lu Yao had misunderstood something?
He pursed his lips and said, "Su Tan and I... Sui Sui is her senior sister's direct disciple, and she and Sui Sui have a good relationship."
It's such a simple relationship.
The wind was silent, the weather had warmed up a bit in the past few days, and the snow had melted.
Princess Jingxi was still feeling awkward. With so many royal brothers and sisters, she could only talk to her brothers, the Crown Prince and Prince Chen.
But it's just something I can talk about.
If you say we are familiar with each other, then you are just being wishful thinking.
Now that the conversation was over, Princess Jingxi didn't know what to say next and fell silent again.
Lu Zhiheng's eyes flickered as he looked at Princess Jingxi, his brows furrowed slightly. "Yaoyao, Su Tan was asked by the emperor to come here."
Princess Jingxi paused. She hadn't heard anyone call her that in a long time. She bit her lip and said, "I know it was father who asked Miss Su to come along, but... I just don't understand father's intention."
Princess Jingxi spoke in a low voice, observing Lu Zhiheng's expression carefully. It would be more accurate to say that she was a little cautious rather than overly respectful.
Lu Zhiheng glanced around, and everything in the Yan Mansion made him feel uncomfortable.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he simply said, "Father has asked you to return to the palace several times, but you always evaded him in your letters. Father is worried that something has happened to you, and that you've been bullied by the Yan family. Since Su Tan is a woman, there are some things you might not tell us, but you might try to open up to her."
Lu Zhiheng did not tell Princess Jingxi about the strangeness of the Yan family at the first time.
Princess Jingxi has been married to the Yan family for so many years and has been with them day and night. Lu Zhiheng doesn't believe that she is completely unaware of it.
Therefore, he just smiled faintly and said: "This time, the emperor asked us to take you back to the capital for a short stay."
Princess Jingxi's expression froze, her gaze fixed on Lu Zhiheng. She lowered her eyes and spoke in a neutral tone, a voice that carried a hint of sarcasm as it drifted into the wind, "Royal brother, you should know there's no room for me there."
"I have never been able to communicate with you, my father, or the ladies in the palace."
