"Shen Yu, what do you mean?" Xue Zixuan cursed.
"Xue Zixuan, you dare to flirt with a girl in broad daylight? Do you want us to go and confront Marquis Xuanyi?" Shen Yu looked at Xue Zixuan coldly.
Xue Zixuan squinted his swollen left eye and glared fiercely at Shen Yu: "Shen Yu, I advise you to mind your own business. It's none of your concern what I'm talking to my fiancée about."
Shen Yu gave an "Oh~" and said, "Fiancée? May I ask, Young Master Xue, has your Xuanyi Marquis's Mansion and the Su family exchanged betrothal gifts? Has the betrothal ceremony been held?"
Xue Zixuan stiffened his neck. "It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway."
His mother had already said she wanted to arrange a marriage for him with the second young lady of the Su family, and he even went to find a portrait of Su Muyao to look at; she was very beautiful.
He came to watch the martial arts competition today and unexpectedly ran into Su Muyao. She was even more beautiful in person than in the portrait, so he couldn't help but come up and greet her.
"It's only a matter of time? Xue Zixuan, you think you're good enough for Miss Su? Get out of here!" Shen Yu didn't give Xue Zixuan any face at all.
In terms of status, he was the heir of the Marquis of Anguo, while Xue Zixuan was merely the second son of the Marquis of Xuanyi. Logically, both of them should have to pay their respects to Shen Yu.
Xue Zixuan knew that staying in the current situation would not bring him any good, so he said, "You just wait," and left with his servants.
Xing Yue looked at Shen Yu with a hint of appreciation in her eyes; his skills were quite good.
Upon hearing Xue Zixuan's address, Su Muyao knew he was the heir of the Marquis of Anguo, and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Heir Song."
"Miss Su, you're too kind. I just happened to be passing by." Shen Yu was also free to do something, and at Xiao Yanchu's request, he came to the martial arts tournament to see if he could pick out a few good talents.
After saying goodbye to Shen Yu, the three returned to Su Ruojin's side and told her what had just happened.
Su Ruojin raised an eyebrow slightly. Xue Zixuan? Fiancée?
What exactly happened? How come she doesn't know?
Looks like I'll have to go back and ask my mother.
It was Yuan Hong's turn to take the stage. On the first day, Yuan Hong drew weak opponents who were easily defeated by him, allowing him to advance from the group stage.
Back at the General's Mansion, Su Wenzhou was naturally pleased. "You're a worthy disciple of mine. Go and practice the boxing techniques I taught you yesterday again."
"Yes, Third Master!" Yuan Hong didn't care about being tired after the match and obediently went to the side to practice.
Su Ruojin walked to Su Wenzhou's side, gently pushed his wheelchair, and whispered, "Third Brother, don't rush. I'll make sure you recover completely during the challenge."
Su Wenzhou was stunned. Didn't his younger sister say before that his leg wouldn't heal anytime soon? How come she's saying now that the challenge will make it heal?
In response to Su Wenzhou's question, Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Times change. I'll be able to administer the acupuncture when the blood stasis has subsided a bit."
Of course, she couldn't tell her third brother that she had poisoned his leg.
She doesn't want her third brother to know about this yet.
In fact, Su Wenzhou was also somewhat puzzled by his sudden leg problem, as the timing was too coincidental.
But the hunting trip that day was a last-minute decision, and everyone around him was a trusted family member, so no one would harm him and he didn't think much of it.
Hearing from his younger sister that his leg would recover in a few days made him very happy.
Su Ruojin doesn't want Su Wenbian's leg to recover yet, mainly because she hasn't figured out if the Prince of Qin still has any tricks up his sleeve, or perhaps he simply doesn't want Su Wenzhou to win and wants to prevent him from being transferred to the Mohan border.
Su Ruojin found Madam Su and told her about what Mu Yao had encountered that day. Madam Su was furious. "Does Marquis Xuanyi think that my Su family has no one left? Madam Xue did come to propose marriage, but I refused. I didn't expect Xue Zixuan to dare to ruin Mu Yao's reputation like this."
"I'm going to the Marquis of Xuanyi's residence to demand an explanation." Madam Su stood up and was about to leave when Su Ruojin stopped her.
“Mother, forget it. It seems that Xue Zixuan is not a good person either. It’s a good thing that we refused. If he dares to provoke Mu Yao again, I will definitely not let him off.”
Su Ruojin would never allow Madam Su to go to the Xuanyi Marquis's residence. If she did, at most the Xuanyi Marquis would give Xue Zixuan a mild reprimand, which would be too easy for him.
As night fell, Xue Zixuan stumbled out of the Drunken Flower Pavilion, still savoring the memory of the beauty in his arms, when suddenly a sack was shoved over his head and he was instantly pulled into the darkness.
