Lu Qingyan bowed politely and said, "I apologize for making you laugh, Your Highness. It was my father's lack of courtesy."
Lin Ke's face stiffened: "Sister Yao'er, it's only been a few months, and you've become so distant from me?"
In the past, Su Xiaoyao always called him Brother Lin, and never addressed him as Prince so respectfully as he did today.
Lu Qingyan smiled slightly and said politely, "I was ignorant before, and I apologize for making you laugh, Your Highness."
"Yao'er, I am your fiancé, why are you treating me like this?" Lin Ke was completely baffled.
A scream from nearby interrupted their conversation. Normally, this was the Su residence, and Lin Ke should have been more discreet, but he was used to being casual here, so he quickly followed Lu Qingyan towards the source of the scream: "Yao'er, has something happened at the residence recently? Why is there such a sound?"
Yao'er is gentle and timid; we mustn't let anything scary frighten her.
“How could the young master, who frequents this place, not know what has happened?” Lu Qingyan asked, raising her eyes. “Now everyone outside knows that my father has taken Yang Xiuzhu from the Yang family as a concubine and is treating her like a treasure. Does the young master dare to say that you don’t know?”
That sounds rather sour, like someone is jealous.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ke leaned closer to Lu Qingyan and teased, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
Lin Ke was aware of the rumors circulating about him and Yang Xiuzhu, but he pretended not to. After all, being admired by a beautiful woman was quite a prestigious thing.
He used to treat this as a joke, but since it came from Lu Qingyan's mouth, he couldn't help but take it seriously: "Yao'er, tell Brother Lin who is talking nonsense in front of you. Brother Lin will teach her a lesson."
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the thrush.
Lu Qingyan turned her face away: "Young Master Lin only causes trouble for the people around me. Why don't you ask if it was someone around you who told me these things?"
"Impossible!" The people around him are so loyal to him, they would never do such a thing.
"Hmph, if Young Master Lin trusts his people so much, then Huamei is also one of my people, so why can't I trust her?" Lu Qingyan tilted her head and bumped into someone running towards her.
Lu Qingyan rubbed her aching head and asked blankly, "Father?"
Father Su exclaimed in terror, "Yao'er, hide quickly! That monster is coming!"
"A monster?" Lu Qingyan exclaimed in disbelief. Was Su's father referring to Yang Xiuzhu?
Looking further back, they indeed saw Yang Xiuzhu, whose face had been disfigured. Yang Xiuzhu's former appearance was absolutely stunning, but her disfigured appearance was extremely ugly. The contrast between the two made her look even uglier and uglier.
To Su's father, who spent every day with her, Yang Xiuzhu, who had changed so much, was nothing short of a monster.
As Yang Xiuzhu's footsteps drew closer, Lu Qingyan curled her lips and asked in confusion, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about? That looks like Aunt Yang."
"No, she's not Aunt Yang, she's a demon in disguise!" Father Su said firmly. He simply refused to believe that the woman before him, who looked like a demon, was the Yang Xiuzhu he had always doted on. Or was this Yang Xiuzhu's original appearance, and the reason she became beautiful was due to the power of a demon?
Yang Xiuzhu, who had followed Su's father, happened to hear this sentence.
