Chapter 420 Su Ning ran away
In Zhiqing Hall, the usually strong old man actually bowed his head and admitted his mistake, shocking everyone so much that they widened their eyes and looked at Su Yue in disbelief as he was being apologized to.
For a moment, no one spoke except the sound of servants serving dishes.
Su Yue naturally felt several gazes, but she didn't care. She just looked at her grandfather without saying anything.
After a long time, Su Yue said with a faint smile: "Grandfather, what are you talking about? Grandfather is the elder, how can Yue'er, a junior, bear such words from grandfather? Since you are not feeling too unwell, you can stay and have dinner together.
However, if grandparents feel uncomfortable, they must tell Yue'er, and Yue'er can still understand them. ”
Su Yue looked at her grandfather's face, which was uglier than crying, and finally chose to speak and give in. Since her grandfather had already said this, she naturally would not be aggressive anymore.
After all, they still have to call them grandparents. If they go too far and the news gets out and people who don't know the details spread rumors, then it would really be considered that Su Yue is unfilial.
"Hehehe... Yue'er means well. Grandfather will remember it."
Old Master Su saw that his granddaughter was giving him a way out, and his nervous heart finally calmed down. After he finished speaking, he turned around and told the servants to move faster, and stopped talking to Su Yue.
However, Old Master Su said nothing more on the surface, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart.
If the prince had not come with him, he would not have been suppressed by Su Yue like this.
Su Yue saw her grandfather's suppressed and frustrated look, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She naturally knew that her grandfather was so tolerant because Shangguan Nanxing was present.
Just when the scene was very awkward, Prime Minister Su finally arrived. As soon as he entered, he saw Su Yue standing at the door with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing beside him.
He did not see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the morning court today, so he guessed that the Crown Prince would come with Yue'er.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and greetings to the Crown Princess." Prime Minister Su approached and saluted respectfully. After all, the Crown Prince was present, and even if Su Yue was his biological daughter, this etiquette could not be omitted.
However, after Prime Minister Su finished his ceremony, he glanced at Gu Qin'er who was standing silently aside. Before Yue'er got married, the mansion was very busy, so he naturally had no time to talk to her.
I don't know if I will have the chance to give him a chance to speak today.
"Father, I'm here to visit my parents-in-law. There's no need to be so polite." Su Yue replied when she saw her father coming.
"Yuer, at the morning court today, Princess Xi of the Mo Kingdom has already arrived outside the city. She should be entering the city soon. I think His Majesty wants Princess Xi to live in the Crown Prince's Mansion..."
After hearing Su Yue's words, Prime Minister Su naturally changed his words and called her Yue'er, and then told Su Yue about the morning court session.
After all, his daughter is now the Crown Princess. Ever since Yue'er and the Crown Prince got engaged, his status in the court has been increasing day by day.
Many people who had been too lazy to talk to him before now took the initiative to talk to him, which made him very happy.
But as soon as Princess Xi arrived, His Majesty arranged for her to live in the Crown Prince's Mansion. Isn't this obviously an attempt to match Princess Xi with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
If the prince really married Princess Xi, given Princess Xi's status and position, it would not be impossible for her to push his daughter off the position of principal wife.
If Yue'er was squeezed out of the position of the main wife, then everyone would suffer, and her own status in the court would naturally fall as well.
This made Prime Minister Su, who had been enjoying a period of popularity, very nervous.
So he didn't care that Shangguan Nanxing was still present, and told her what was happening in the court, intending to remind his daughter to pay more attention to Princess Xi.
"Who is Princess Xi?" Before Su Yue could speak, Old Master Su asked curiously.
"Princess Xi is the most beloved princess of the Emperor of Mo Country."
After Prime Minister Su answered his father's words, he looked at Shangguan Nanxing meaningfully, and then lowered his eyes.
Shangguan Nanxing noticed Prime Minister Su's eyes, but he didn't care. Instead, he looked at Su Yue with tenderness.
"The dishes are almost ready, please take a seat."
Old Master Su was also a smart man. After hearing his son's words and seeing his actions, he naturally knew that Princess Xi must be here for Shangguan Nanxing, so he didn't ask any more questions and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Aunt, where is my sister?" After everyone took their seats, Su Yue looked around but didn't see Su Ning, so she asked.
"She, she ran away secretly to her grandfather."
When Zhang heard Su Yue mention Su Ning, she sounded very unhappy.
"How was the Li family's matter handled?" Su Yue was stunned when she heard Zhang's words, and then asked in a low voice.
After all, the Li family really wants to marry my sister Su Ning, so they would not let Su Ning run away, right?
"When the young master of the Li family heard that Ning'er ran away, he seemed to chase after her. These young people are really busy every day and don't know how to be good."
Zhang met Su Yue's puzzled eyes. Although she was very unhappy about her daughter's escape without permission, she had to answer Su Yue's questions honestly.
"Aunt, you also said that we are all young people, and my sister has been carefree since she was a child. Aunt should understand my sister's temper."
After listening to this, Su Yue said a few words on behalf of Su Ning.
Seeing that Su Yue didn't want to mention Princess Xi's coming to Dongyou at all, Prime Minister Su and others on the side chose not to mention it either.
At this banquet, except for a very few people like Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing, everyone else had a very bad taste in their food.
Especially Old Master Su, he originally wanted to take advantage of Su Yue's return to give Su Yue a warning, and then use her status as a grandfather to ask her to help Gu Qiner and his son get back together.
But after what happened just now, the two old men didn't dare to say a word.
Obviously, because Su Yue's identity has changed completely, those who dared to point fingers before no longer dare to say anything to avoid causing Su Yue's dissatisfaction.
