Steward Zhang's expression was a bit strange, and he stammered, "A few people came to the manor just now. They said they were Miss Su's mother, and... and a man who was engaged to Miss Su."
At his age, Steward Zhang could easily see the prince's feelings for Miss Su. In his heart, he had long regarded Miss Su as his future princess.
Today, while Miss Su and the young master were having their meal, the gatekeeper came to announce that Miss Su's family had come to visit, saying that they were Miss Su's mother and her future in-laws, with whom she was engaged.
This startled Butler Zhang. Her mother was alright, but what was wrong with her in-laws?
In the Great Chu Kingdom, once a couple is engaged, it's practically the same as being married.
If Miss Su is engaged, then she and the prince...
Steward Zhang dared not make the decision on his own and hurriedly reported the matter to Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin was taken aback at first, wondering where her mother and fiancé had come from.
If she hadn't known her own background before, she would have really thought that the original owner's biological parents had come looking for her.
But now she knows who her biological parents are, so who came to her door to impersonate them?
Since the other party dared to approach the Regent's Palace, they must have something to rely on.
She wanted to see who was so bold as to impersonate her parents and fiancé.
Su Ruojin calmly wiped Xiaobao's mouth and said, "Let them wait at Yunwu Courtyard. I'll be there in a bit."
Steward Zhang led the person to Yunwu Courtyard, arranged for someone to take care of them, and then waited for the prince at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
Upon hearing the steward's words, Xiao Yanchu's face darkened to the point of being almost dripping with water: "Let's go to Yunwu Courtyard."
Hu Qing didn't know whether he should be thankful he had escaped a disaster, but judging from the prince's expression, and considering this matter...
He felt it was better to be late and get punished.
When Xiao Yanchu arrived at Yunwu Courtyard, he heard a man's voice: "Sister Ruojin, this is the jade pendant you gave me as a token of your love. You can't deny it."
"Su Ruojin, let me tell you, don't think you can break off the engagement just because you've now climbed up to the Regent. Let me tell you, once we're engaged, you're a member of the Yao family, whether you live or die!"
"Jin'er, marriage is a major event. Since ancient times, it has been decided by parents and arranged by matchmakers. Your mother asked for your opinion before, and you agreed to it yourself. We cannot go back on our word."
"Sister Ruojin, my brother thinks about you all the time. Don't worry, once you marry into our family, my brother will definitely treat you well."
Xiao Yanchu frowned slightly; it sounded quite lively.
He strode into Yunwu Courtyard, and Steward Zhang hurriedly announced, "His Highness has arrived."
Upon hearing this, everyone except Su Ruojin immediately knelt down: "This humble woman greets Your Highness."
Xiao Yanchu didn't tell anyone to get up. He walked straight to Su Ruojin's side and said with a hint of complaint, "You're too easygoing. You let just any Tom, Dick, or Harry into the mansion."
Su Ruojin smiled slightly and replied with four words: "Curious, fun."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanchu understood, a smile flashing in her eyes. Let her play if she wants.
He turned to Yanluo, who was kneeling beside him, and said, "Yanluo, go and pour me a cup of tea."
"Yes, Your Highness." Yanluo rose and withdrew, knowing that the prince had told her she no longer needed to kneel.
While the young lady may not kneel before the prince, Yanluo dares not do so.
