Chapter 507: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (6)
Su Yu didn't know what Su Miaoer was thinking, but she could guess a little from the pride revealed in her eyes and eyebrows.
The two people running towards each other found each other more and more pleasing to the eye.
Su Yu pretended to hesitate: "But my sister is of noble status."
Su Miaoer: "No matter how high your status is, if you can't marry the person you love, what's the point?"
Lan Ying's eyes almost popped out of her head. Just because she liked him, she gave up her status as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion and wanted to marry him and live a hard life?
Lan Ying couldn't understand.
Su Yu also couldn't understand, but she continued to follow her words and flattered her: "Sister, you are of true character. I can't compare to you. It's just that..."
"Just what?"
Su Yu frowned slightly: "How can you and I decide on such an important matter as marriage?"
Speaking of this, Su Miaoer also became annoyed.
But she couldn't tell her parents that Xie Qinglan would become a high-ranking official with great power in the future.
How should I explain it? Should I say that I was reborn from a few years later?
You will definitely be burned to death as a monster.
"What should we do then?" Su Miaoer asked Su Yu subconsciously.
Su Yu curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and made a look of distress and thought.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she thought of something.
But in a moment he had some concerns, opened his mouth, swallowed his words back, and said nothing.
Su Miaoer was hungry and annoyed. Seeing this, she urged: "If you can't think of a solution, you have to marry him yourself. I know you don't want to marry Xie Qinglan. Helping me now is helping yourself. You must think it through carefully."
Su Yu hesitated: "My father and mother are strongly against my sister, what good solution can I have?"
"But if Sister is really willing to risk it all... No, no, it will definitely not work."
Su Miaoer was impatient: "If you have a solution, just say it, don't hesitate!"
Took the bait.
Su Yu seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Finally, she leaned over and whispered in Su Miaoer's ear.
Su Miaoer frowned at first, then hesitated.
"There is still half a month before grandma's birthday party. You can take your time to think about it." Su Yu said softly.
After saying that, Su Yu glanced at Lan Ying.
Lan Ying understood and took out the roast chicken from the food box. It was still hot, with a crispy skin and a fragrant aroma. It was very tempting for Su Miaoer, who had been hungry all day.
"Sister, you must be feeling bad after being hungry for a whole day. Eat something quickly."
Su Miaoer swallowed her saliva, and between threatening her parents with a hunger strike and obeying Su Yu's plan, she quickly sided with Su Yu.
The news that Su Miaoer was willing to eat reached the main courtyard, and the Marquis's wife finally put her mind at ease.
"Go, ask the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious food and send it to the eldest lady." After giving the order, she paused for a moment, "Send a table to the second lady as well, and go to my private storehouse to find two exquisite and precious items to send to her."
…
The old lady of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion celebrated her birthday. All the famous families in the capital came, and those who could not come also sent gifts. It was a very lively occasion.
Half a month later, Xie Qinglan stepped into the Marquis' Mansion again.
The servant led the way for Xie Qinglan, but there were not enough servants in the mansion, so he left after taking him to the place: "I still have to go to greet other guests, please forgive me, Master Xie."
Xie Qinglan nodded: "It's okay, go ahead."
After the servant left, Xie Qinglan glanced around. There were many guests here, but he did not stand out among them.
Before the banquet officially started, Xie Qinglan found a secluded place to sit down.
Not far away, Su Yu and Su Miaoer were observing him.
Su Yu glanced at Su Miaoer and asked, "Sister, have you made up your mind?"
Su Miaoer hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and made up her mind: "I'll have the servants keep an eye on it and not let anyone get close to this place. Move quickly."
Su Yu curled her lips: "Of course, sister, go over and wait."
Su Miaoer left, looking back every few steps.
Su Yu straightened her dress. Lan Ying followed her with a tray of wine and walked towards Xie Qinglan in the pavilion.
"Why are you here alone, Mr. Xie?" Su Yu approached slowly and spoke slowly.
Seeing Su Yu, Xie Qinglan's eyes moved slightly, and he stood up and said gently and politely: "Second Miss."
Su Yu brought Lan Ying over and sat down next to Xie Qinglan. She put the drinks on the table and smiled softly, "There are only you and me here, Mr. Xie, there's no need to be polite."
Xie Qinglan was slightly stunned.
Su Yu poured wine for him, her cheeks blushing: "Why are you standing here? Sir Xie, please sit down."
Xie Qinglan didn't move, and I don't know if he had any concerns.
They didn't know when, but the guests who could be seen from afar before had disappeared without a trace. In the huge garden, it seemed as if there were only the two of them. Even Lan Ying had just left.
"Mr. Xie, don't worry. The guests have already gone to the front hall." She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Qinglan shyly. "To be honest, my father has already informed us of our engagement. I believe we will exchange engagement letters soon."
Seeing that he still didn't move, Su Yu bravely grabbed his sleeve.
Although he could easily break free with a struggle, Xie Qinglan unconsciously followed the woman's movements and sat down beside her.
In her previous life, she also loved to pull him to sit like this.
Su Yu slowly pushed the wine glass over: "Why don't you say anything, Master Xie?"
Xie Qinglan was silent for a moment: "Are you...willing to marry me?"
Su Yu froze for a moment, then quickly lowered her eyelashes: "My parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and Mr. Xie is a handsome man, so I am willing."
"It's just that I feel uneasy." Su Yu frowned.
Xie Qinglan could tell at a glance that Su Yu's words were not sincere and seemed to have some purpose. He lowered his eyes and asked, "Why are you uneasy?"
Su Yu poured a glass of wine for Xie Qinglan and also poured one for herself: "Mr. Xie, please."
Seeing Xie Qinglan holding up the glass of wine, Su Yu continued, "I don't know Mr. Xie's family situation and character. Women are always at a disadvantage. I am not afraid of hardship, but I am afraid that my future husband will not make progress and will not treat me well..."
As she spoke, Su Yu's cheeks flushed and she lowered her head.
These words are sincere and heartfelt.
However, there was no emotion in Xie Qinglan's eyes as Su Yu had imagined.
Xie Qinglan was certain that this had never happened in his previous life, and Su Yu had never said these words to him.
Although he was puzzled, Xie Qinglan still put down his wine glass and answered seriously: "Second Miss, don't worry. Both my parents have passed away. Although I am not rich, I have some family assets. I am determined to pass the imperial examination and will participate in the Spring Examination next year. If you are worried, you can wait until the results of the examination come out before considering marriage."
Su Yu didn't listen carefully at all. Anyway, it was Su Miaoer who wanted to marry, not her.
She glanced at the untouched wine in front of Xie Qinglan, and said in a nonchalant manner: "With what Master Xie said, I feel relieved. I offer a toast to Master Xie."
Xie Qinglan pursed his lips tightly and looked at the wine glass filled with clear wine in front of him.
I don’t know if he is too sensitive, but Su Yu seems to be urging him to drink.
This scene reminded him of his previous life. When Su Yu handed him the cup of poisoned wine, she looked around and talked to him, intending to persuade him to drink.
The look in Xie Qinglan's eyes deepened, his eyebrows were gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking, which made people feel cold in their hearts.
