Chapter 818: Protecting Shortcomings (1)
Su Mingfeng followed the bearded guard inside. Along the way, the servants of Prince Rui's Mansion all cast scrutinizing glances at him, which made Su Mingfeng feel a little uncomfortable all over.
But then he thought, things have come to this point, there is no turning back. Anyway, Prince Rui has already offended him. If it is not true, the worst that can happen is an apology. After all, in Mingqi's territory, Prince Rui will always give the emperor some face.
Su Mingfeng began to feel uneasy again. Prince Rui didn't even take Emperor Wenhui seriously, so how could he take a mere young master of the Su family seriously? Moreover, the Su family no longer served in the government. For Emperor Wenhui, the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion had no place worth using. If something really went wrong, Emperor Wenhui would not offend Prince Rui for him.
Fortunately, there is Su Minglang, the second young master of the Su family in the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion. If something really happens to him, the Su family will not be extinct.
But what if Prince Rui takes his anger out on the Su family and implicates the entire mansion?
Su Mingfeng was lost in thought along the way, sweat gradually seeping out of his back. He didn't even realize that the bearded guard had brought him to his destination. Until the bearded guard reminded him, "Master Su, we're here."
Su Mingfeng suddenly came back to his senses.
This was in the backyard of Prince Rui's mansion, where there was a pond. On winter nights, the breeze from the pond was very cold. Faintly visible through the lanterns hanging from the branches, one could see a stone table in the garden. Two people sat at the table, seemingly a man and a woman, though their appearance was unclear.
Su Mingfeng subconsciously looked at the bearded man, who said, "Your Highness is waiting for you up ahead. I'll take my leave now." After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Su Mingfeng's answer.
Su Mingfeng looked at the bearded man's back, thinking that the guards of Prince Rui's mansion were so arrogant. No wonder Prince Rui was so rude. Like master, like servant. If the master was disrespectful to Emperor Wenhui, the guards of Prince Rui's mansion would be disrespectful to their guests.
Come to think of it, the only person in Dingjing who acted so unscrupulously seemed to be Xie Jingxing, the former young marquis of Lin'an Marquisate.
Thinking of Xie Jingxing, Su Mingfeng's heart skipped a beat again. He looked at the two people in front of the stone table, paused, and finally took a step towards them.
When he got closer, he found a furry white animal lying under the table. At first, Su Mingfeng looked at the figure and thought it was a cat. The cat-like little thing heard his movement, turned its head, and roared "Awoo", revealing its sharp white teeth.
It turned out to be a tiger.
Su Mingfeng thought, there is actually a tiger raised in Prince Rui's mansion. Although it is a little tiger, Prince Rui is really special.
Thinking this way, it seemed that Prince Rui and Xie Jingxing were not very similar.
Su Mingfeng walked to the stone table. King Rui had his back to him, so the first thing Su Mingfeng saw was the woman sitting there.
The woman was beautiful, graceful and dignified. She looked at him with a familiar gaze, and Su Mingfeng cried out, "Miss Shen!"
It turned out to be Shen Miao!
"Miss Shen, why are you here?" Su Mingfeng couldn't help but ask.
"Young Master Su is meddling too much." A careless voice sounded, and there seemed to be a hint of displeasure: "What's wrong with my princess staying in my own house?"
The words "my own house" almost stopped Shen Miao from drinking her tea. She smiled at Su Mingfeng and nodded: "Mr. Su."
Su Mingfeng's gaze fell on Prince Rui, who had his back to him.
He sat lazily, but his posture was surprisingly tall and slender. In the dim light of the lantern, one could see the smooth lines on his collar outlined by fine gold thread.
