Chapter 535: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (34)
The moisture behind the screen gradually dissipated, and the petals in the bathtub floated wetly on the water. The heat turned them deep red, and they remained deep red after cooling down.
On the other side of the screen, the atmosphere was hot.
Su Yu wanted to discuss this matter with Xie Qinglan, but she didn't want to discuss it with him in this way.
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but Xie Qinglan made Su Yu a little overwhelmed tonight.
"Your sister's engagement was broken off, are you happy?"
Su Yu's consciousness was almost blurred, her hair wet on her cheeks, and she squinted at him: "Hmm..."
"And now, are you happy?"
Su Yu felt that she was happy. Xie Qinglan was really good at taking care of people and didn't make her uncomfortable at all.
"Happy."
She heard Xie Qinglan seem to laugh, and Su Yu's cheeks turned even redder, as if blood was about to drip out.
Xie Qinglan pinched her waist and whispered as if promising.
"You'll be better off than she is without having to stare at her all the time."
…
When Su Yu woke up, her side was already cold.
It seemed like I had a dream last night, it was very confusing and crazy. Xie Qinglan pretended to be nice at first, but later she cried and choked, but he didn't feel sorry for her at all...
Light shines in through the window panes.
Half of the bed curtain was missing, as Su Yu had torn it off herself last night.
I originally wanted to use the force to push Xie Qinglan away, but I didn't expect...
One foot was lifted up and the bed curtain was wrapped around it, swinging in the air without any support.
The other one was held in Xie Qinglan's hand.
Xie Qinglan's always serious face was tinged with lust. He was handsome and beautiful, with a little bit of red at the corner of his mouth, making him look like a bewitching male demon.
After regaining her composure, Su Yu couldn't even look at Xie Qinglan directly, but to be honest, apart from everything else, his service was really impeccable.
System: [Host, why is your face so red? ]
Su Yu touched her cheek and it was indeed very hot: [Did you go to see your system sister again yesterday? ]
The system's attention was diverted, and it chuckled: [We have to thank the host for this. ]
【……】
Su Yu: [Alright, get out of here.]
Hearing the noise, Lan Ying came in: "Miss, are you awake?"
Su Yu sat up and saw the marks on her body. She quickly hugged the quilt and asked, "Where's Xie Qinglan?"
"Miss, have you forgotten? Your uncle is on duty now."
Oh, Su Yu remembered that Xie Qinglan was now an official of the sixth rank, so he naturally had to go on duty in the morning.
Starting from the sixth rank is not a low starting point for a newcomer to the officialdom. All the previous top scorers in the imperial examinations started from the seventh rank. Xie Qinglan can be considered to be favored by the emperor.
…
With his past life experience, Xie Qinglan knew everything that happened in recent years. In addition, he was good at flattering the emperor, so he was promoted quite quickly.
In just a year and a half, he had reached the fourth rank.
Of course, in the eyes of others, it is not an exaggeration to say that this speed is like riding a rocket.
Thanks to Qinglan, Su Yu received a lot of party invitations.
That day, after leaving the banquet at the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, Su Yu held the medicine bag in her hand, knowing that the long-awaited plot was coming.
Lan Ying saw that Su Yu was uneasy and asked, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Su Yu pinched the things in her sleeves and shook her head: "No, I'm just a little tired."
Lan Ying: "Then I'll tell the driver to go slower. You can lean on me and rest for a while."
"No need, go back home as soon as possible."
Su Yu frowned, and the scene of her 'chance encounter' with the eldest prince's wife emerged in her mind.
The eldest prince's wife had a kind face, but her words were extremely rebellious: "Father is already old, and since ancient times, the eldest son has been the heir apparent. The eldest prince is your majesty's eldest son. Who else do you think will sit on the throne in the future except the eldest prince?"
Nowadays, the eldest prince and the third prince are competing against each other in the court, and the eldest prince has a slight advantage.
Su Yu cautiously did not answer.
The eldest prince's wife talked about many other topics, the core idea of which was that the eldest prince would become the emperor in the future, and anyone who opposed him would not have a good ending.
Su Yu pretended not to understand.
The eldest prince's wife was also very patient: "I heard that Master Xie was born in a poor family?"
Su Yu raised her eyes and looked at her.
The eldest prince's wife curled her lips and said, "It's too easy to deal with such a person without any foundation. It's just a pity that Madam Xie is so beautiful. She might be exiled to a bitter cold place. It's really heartbreaking to think about it."
Su Yu said coldly: "What on earth do you want to say, Madam?"
The carriage bumped and Su Yu's head accidentally hit the wooden frame, causing tears to well up in her eyes due to the pain.
"Miss, are you okay?" Lan Ying was startled and hurriedly helped Su Yu to massage her.
"fine."
In addition to a packet of poison, the eldest prince's wife also gave her a deposit of 100,000 taels of silver notes and promised to give her another 500,000 taels after the matter was accomplished.
When the eldest prince ascends the throne in the future, he will confer her the title of first-rank princess, with a fief of a thousand households, and even promise to allow the Marquis of Yongchang to divorce his wife, and to make her aunt the principal wife and enshrine her in the ancestral temple.
In order to eliminate the hidden dangers, the eldest prince is really willing to give benefits.
Unfortunately, most of them are just empty promises that can never be realized.
But for those who don't know the inside story, it is indeed very tempting.
Su Yu pondered for a moment, clenched her palms as if she had made a decision, her eyes flashed, and she ordered: "Lan Ying, go back and set up a table of wine and food. My husband has been on duty these days, leaving early and returning late, and he has become thinner. It's not easy for him to have some free time. I will have a few drinks with him to relax."
This has always been Su Yu's habit. Lan Ying had no objection and happily agreed: "Okay! Don't worry, Miss!"
At this time, someone reported the news of Su Yu's meeting with the eldest prince's wife to Xie Qinglan.
Xie Qinglan had been having people keep an eye on the eldest prince's mansion, but he didn't expect to discover this scene by accident.
His face suddenly darkened, and his fingertips turned pale from exerting force. After a long while, he slowly exhaled, suppressing his trembling voice: "Keep staring."
