Chapter 159 Su Xin's Doubts
On the other hand, just as Su Yue went out to the Third Prince's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomed a distinguished guest.
The second prince, Shangguan Nanfeng.
After he learned that his father had issued an edict today, he could not help but come to the Prime Minister's Residence to find Su Yue. He wanted to express his feelings to her directly.
Before the three-month deadline, his mother had been stopping him from having more contact with Su Yue. Now that the imperial edict had been issued, he naturally had no worries.
Unfortunately, when he excitedly stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, he learned that the second Miss Su had gone out.
He didn't know when Su Yue would come back, but today, he didn't plan to go back unless he saw Su Yue.
When Prime Minister Su heard that the Second Prince had arrived, he naturally greeted him respectfully. Seeing that the Second Prince had no intention of leaving after hearing that Su Yue was not there, he asked the servants to arrange the Second Prince in the living room.
She lit some fine incense and brought some books to help the Second Prince relieve his fatigue.
Originally, Prime Minister Su had been accompanying the Second Prince in the living room, but Shangguan Nanfeng felt that the Prime Minister was an eyesore, so he asked him to leave and left while he waited alone.
Just as Shangguan Nanfeng was sitting in the guest room, boredly flipping through the book handed to him by the servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a scent of rouge mixed with the wind blew towards him.
Shangguan Nanfeng looked up and saw that Su Xin was wearing an extremely gorgeous dress with a collar, hem and wide sleeves, all embroidered with flowers and birds in gold and colored threads, which reflected different lights in the sunlight.
On her head, two gold-studded pearl hairpins were inserted diagonally, with tassels hanging on one side. Her eyebrows were narrow and her eyes were full of tenderness.
Today's Su Xin is like a ripe peach, waiting to be picked.
"What are you doing here?" Shangguan Nanfeng was stunned, then frowned slightly. This Su Xin was dressed too gorgeously.
"I heard from the servants that the Second Prince had arrived, so I came to see..."
The more Su Xin spoke, the lower her voice became. Not only did she come over to take a look, she even dressed up and put on the clothes that the second prince had given her some time ago.
Today, she was determined to express her feelings to the Second Prince. After all, the Second Prince had written to her in a letter full of affection.
Thinking of the contents of the letter, Su Xin's face turned red.
"Look at me?" Shangguan Nanfeng was curious when he heard Su Xin say that. What was so good about him?
"The Second Prince is looking for me?" Just as Su Xin took a few deep breaths and was about to muster up her courage, Su Yue walked in with a puzzled look on her face.
As soon as she came back, her father asked her to go to the guest room, saying that the second prince had been waiting for her there since early morning.
When she walked in, she saw Su Xin was there too. When she saw clearly what Su Xin was wearing, a hint of sneer flashed in her eyes.
"Where did you go, sister? Why did you come back just now? The Second Prince and I were waiting for you. Although father didn't say anything to you, it's not good for a girl like you to go out of the palace again and again."
Su Xin spoke, her tone blaming but also full of concern.
Only Su Yue knew that Su Xin's so-called concern was actually a hint to the Second Prince that she, as a girl in the boudoir, was restless and kept running outside.
"Sister, this outfit is quite cool." Su Yue said, looking up and down at Su Xin's clothes. The clothes were made of tulle and were obviously summer clothes.
Although the sun is out now, it is still a long way from summer.
"There's a heater in the room, so it's not cold." Su Xin naturally knew what Su Yue meant. Her pretty face turned red and she explained hurriedly.
"It's just a little too gorgeous, and it overshadows my sister's beauty." Su Yue said lightly, not caring about her explanation at all.
"You, the clothes given by the Second Prince are naturally gorgeous!"
Su Xin naturally heard that Su Yue's words clearly meant that she was not worthy of this dress. Naturally, she was unhappy, so she directly told Su Yue where the clothes came from, hoping to make Su Yue jealous.
"Hey, that's not right. When did this prince give you clothes? Why don't I remember?"
When Shangguan Nanfeng heard Su Xin's words, he became curious. He wanted to send clothes to the prime minister's daughter Su Yue. How could he, a prince, be involved with a concubine's daughter?
"The second prince..." Su Xin was stunned after hearing this, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"Second Prince, it was clearly you who gave the clothes. Why did you deny it in front of my sister? Are you afraid that my sister will misunderstand you? But you clearly wrote a letter..."
Su Xin gritted her teeth and said it without caring that Su Yue was still present.
"What did this prince write?" Shangguan Nanfeng was also curious. Why was Su Xin so sure that the clothes were given by him?
"A letter showing that the Second Prince is in love with Xin'er. Second Prince, do you not recognize this either?"
Su Xin looked at Shangguan Nanfeng as if she was looking at a unfaithful husband.
"Don't talk nonsense, how could I have written such a letter to you?" Shangguan Nanfeng was annoyed by Su Xin's eyes. He clearly did not write it, so why did Su Xin keep saying it, so tearfully? That expression made it seem as if he had really let her down.
This won't do. Yue'er is still here, and I have to make it clear. I'm here to express my feelings this time. I can't do nothing and end up getting into trouble.
"Second Prince, since my sister has something to say to you, I will not disturb you."
After Su Yue finished speaking, she was about to leave.
"No, this prince orders you to stay." Shangguan Nanfeng became anxious when he heard that Su Yue was about to leave, and subconsciously gave orders to people.
"Yes, sir." Su Yue lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding her emotions. Shangguan Nanfeng was as overbearing as he was in her previous life. Every move he made was an order. Now Su Yue only felt disgusted.
"You said I wrote a letter, so take out the letter and let's confront each other!" Shangguan Nanfeng stood up and walked towards Su Xin with an unhappy tone. When did he, Shangguan Nanfeng, feel so aggrieved.
"Letter..." When Su Xin heard Shangguan Nanfeng mention the letter, she bit her lips nervously and twisted the handkerchief tightly in her hands.
If I say that the letter was burned by her, would it be disrespectful if she burned the second prince's handwritten letter?
"What's wrong with the letter? Tell me, why are you being so shy? If you keep doing this, don't blame me for getting angry!"
Shangguan Nanfeng looked at Su Xin's shy look and felt furious. She was the one who suggested it, but now she was so shy.
If Su Yue hadn't been there, he would have slapped her in the face for fear of scaring her.
"Second Prince, please calm down. I have burned the letter." Su Xin naturally saw Shangguan Nanfeng's anger. She was so scared that she quickly knelt down with her head down.
"Burned? Burned?" Shangguan Nanfeng chuckled. Was Su Xin treating him like a fool?
"Stand up and look at me!" Shangguan Nanfeng suddenly raised his voice, his tone revealing undisguised anger. A concubine's daughter dared to tease him like this. Did she really think he wouldn't dare to do anything to her?
When Su Xin heard Shangguan Nanfeng getting angry, she quickly stood up, looked at him and explained hastily: "Second Prince, I didn't burn it on purpose, I..."
A very loud slapping sound was heard from the living room. Shangguan Nanfeng's slap was so powerful that Su Xin fell to the ground.
When she looked up again, there were red and swollen marks from the slap on her face, and a trace of blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Su Yue saw it and lowered her head so that no one could notice the smile on her lips. Su Xin responded so shyly. She wouldn't think that the Second Prince was angry because she burned the letter, right?
"Bitch!" Shangguan Nanfeng held it in for a long time and only uttered these two words.
He had wanted to confess his feelings, but he never expected that Su Yue would see such a scene. Shangguan Nanfeng felt ashamed. He flicked his long sleeves and left the guest room with a gloomy face. He didn't even say hello to Su Yue.
"Why? Why?" Su Xin covered her red and swollen face with tears in her eyes. The letter was clearly written by the Second Prince, so why didn't he acknowledge it?
Su Yue glanced at her indifferently and naturally knew what she was wondering about, but she didn't have the time to tell her that the letter was her masterpiece.
