On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

When Mrs. Hong heard Su Qishun calling her in such an unsatisfied voice again, she couldn't help but shudder, and a feeling of nausea rushed to her throat.

She stood up to avoid Su Qishun's attempt to steal a kiss, "My Lord, it's getting late. We are the host today. For Wan'er's sake, we must not neglect any of the guests."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Su Qishun's eyes, but this trace of disappointment was quickly turned into joy by Hong's words "for Wan'er".

"Madam is right. I made the second house go crazy, and soon, they fell from the clouds."

After saying that, he smiled, puffed out his chest, and strode out of the room.

Hong's body went limp and she fell back onto the stool.

The maid quickly entered the room and helped Hong calm down.

The maid's name was Wanqing, and she was promoted by Hong herself after Jiangqian's death.

"Ma'am, how are you feeling?"

"Spittoon..." Before she could finish her words, Hong covered her mouth and retched twice.

It’s really disgusting to come into contact with Su Qishun.

...

Like the Pear Garden.

Su Sui'an got up very early.

According to the rules of the Yuan Dynasty, the girl-to-be would get up early and put on her makeup before the thank-you banquet, and then go to the front hall to thank the uncles and elders of the clan one by one when the banquet started.

If the maternal family of the girl to be married is of prominent status, the father's family will also invite people from her maternal family to come and let the girl to pay her respects to elders such as her uncles and grandfathers.

At this time, Su Sui'an's wedding makeup was already ready.

She was whispering with her two personal maids.

Just after confirming the deployment with Liu Ermei'er, Su Xinhe arrived.

This was the first time Su Sui'an had seen her since he had taken back Su Xinhe's bad debt.

Without Su Sui'an, the scapegoat, Su Xinhe's clothing and complexion instantly dropped several levels.

Her skin, which had been fair and rosy in the past thanks to the money and fines of Su Sui'an, now looked very sallow. Coupled with her dark-colored clothes and outdated hairpins, she looked five or six years older than Su Sui'an at first glance.

At this moment, the look in her eyes when she looked at Su Sui'an was not as excited as before, but the smile on her face was much brighter than before.

As soon as he saw Su Sui'an, he walked up to him and took Su Sui'an's hand in a familiar manner.

"Second sister, why didn't you come to see me these days? Xinhe missed you so much."

Su Sui'an withdrew his hand without leaving a trace. "What do you miss about me? My money?"

Su Xinhe's smile froze, a cold look flashed across her eyes, and she soon smiled again, "How could I not, second sister, please don't wrongly accuse me."

"Whether it's an injustice or not, you know better than me."

After today, the Second House will draw a clear line with the Changping Marquis' Mansion, and Su Sui'an doesn't even want to pretend anymore.

Besides, Su Xinhe knew what it meant when she asked her to return all the money and hairpins, but she still came to find her...

Thinking of this, Su Sui'an couldn't help but chuckle.

"Second sister, what are you laughing at?"

Su Xinhe pretended to be innocent and came in front of Su Sui'an, blinking her eyes.

Su Sui'an met Su Xinhe's eyes meaningfully.

"I am laughing. The grand thank-you banquet held by your mansion today is definitely not for me. Yet you still waste your time on me. Haven't you heard the saying that if you try to steal a chicken, you will lose the rice."

Su Xinhe's face changed and she could no longer pretend.

"What do you mean?"

Su Sui'an took a leisurely look at the newly dyed Dankou. The bright red color of Dankou seemed to match the festive atmosphere of the day very well.

"Someone must have told you that I am just the daughter of an adopted son. If it is just based on my status, I am not as good as you, the concubine of the Marquis of Changping. If I can marry the prince of the Duke of Gu, why can't you? If I am not mistaken, you will definitely listen to that person's advice and take me to meet your Zhang Lang by chance. Then you will leave with an excuse and let me be alone with your Zhang Lang, right?"

"How did you know?" Su Xinhe's eyes widened in disbelief. "You hired someone to monitor me?"

Su Sui'an smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, you're not worth it for me to find someone to monitor you."

The three words "not worth it" were mixed with a tone of contempt, like a slap in Su Xinhe's face.

Su Xinhe's face turned red instantly.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute Su Sui'an, he heard Su Sui'an say, "You are always easy to be seen through. Your every move is too purposeful and can't deceive people at all. Tell me, does the person behind you really want to help you, or is he intentionally making you a target? After all, when the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. The person who is the fisherman may be me, or it may be the person behind you, but it will definitely not be you..."

Su Sui'an's voice gradually lowered, and when he said the last sentence, he almost spoke it into Su Xinhe's ear.

The girl who was about to get married was dressed in bright red and her breath was as fragrant as orchid, but her words were sinister, which made Su Xinhe feel a chill down her spine for no reason...

Her fists gradually clenched due to nervousness, and her palms were already covered with fine and dense cold sweat.

If it is really like what Su Sui'an said, then no matter what she does, she will always be a fish on the chopping board...

"Today is my day, and I don't want to cause any trouble."

Su Sui'an's voice, returning to normal, brought Su Xinhe back to his senses.

Looking at Su Sui'an again, he had a calm smile on his face. Where was the slightest bit of the sinisterness he had when he whispered in her ear just now?

If it weren't for the solid texture of the cold sweat on her palms, she would have thought she was just dreaming...

"What do you want?"

Only after he finished speaking did Su Xinhe realize that his voice was shaking badly.

Su Sui'an smiled and took out a warm jade pendant that was only two fingers wide and broken in half from an exquisite small drawer on the right.

"The people behind you probably didn't tell you that Gu Xiuyan would be here today."

Su Xin and Muran shook their heads.

"Wear it and meet Gu Xiuyan by chance. Let Gu Xiuyan see this broken jade. If he asks you about it, just say that the warm jade is something you have close to your body. Don't ask or say anything else."

An encounter with Gu Xiuyan?

Don’t ask too many questions and don’t say too much?

"Why?" Su Xinhe hid the gleam in his eyes and looked at Su Sui'an in confusion, "Does this half piece of warm jade have any meaning?"

How could Su Sui'an not know what Su Xinhe was planning?

"Your cleverness may seem stupid to others."

After being treated coldly by Su Sui'an again, Su Xinhe's heart had calmed down a lot compared to before.

Since Su Sui'an had already broken off relations with her, and she had the opportunity to meet Young Master Gu, she naturally would not stay here and make herself bored.

Holding the half of jade given to her by Su Sui'an, she turned around and left without even saying goodbye.

It was not until the footsteps behind him disappeared that Su Sui'an looked outside the door and sneered, "Since you are here, come in."
