Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game
Chapter 42 Already Married
There was a sense of detachment and indifference in her words, as if she had seen through the loneliness and sacrifice behind power.
"I would rather earn a little money and live a quiet and simple life with my mother."
Su Yi was surprised at Su Rao's idea of doing business, but felt it was unrealistic.
"In this male-dominated world, it is not easy for women to make their own way."
Her worry was not groundless, but there was indomitable spirit and trust in Su Rao's eyes.
"But as long as my sister is here, I have nothing to fear."
Su Rao smiled playfully, with a light of dependence flickering in her eyes, which showed her immense trust and attachment to her sister.
Although there is a huge difference between ideal and reality, such as the rumor that Prince Yi broke the precepts.
As ridiculous as it was, it was like an invisible sword hanging over their heads.
Su Yi silently remembered every word of Su Rao, and complex waves surged in his heart.
"Sister, I'm a little worried about Cheng Yu."
Su Rao's voice was filled with worry. "She is already in a difficult situation. What if she is affected by what happened today..."
Su Yi felt a tightness in his heart when he thought that the innocent and kind girl might suffer because of this.
But soon, she made up her mind.
"Rao'er, you don't have to worry too much about Chengyu's affairs.
For a mentally handicapped child to be able to stay safe in the mansion until now, there must be someone secretly protecting her. Madam Huo, that person may be as hard-hearted as iron, but he is also smart. "
Both sisters knew that Mrs. Huo was not only not kind-hearted, but also jealous.
Su Yi's words hit the nail on the head, making Su Rao feel a little relieved, and she was sure that Huo Chengyu would be able to get away with it.
But another question immediately emerged in his mind: In this deep courtyard, who is the master secretly protecting Huo Chengyu?
This person must have a special identity, hold real power, and be able to make changes in the palace...
While I was thinking, it was lunchtime and the servant came and knocked on the door.
He interrupted their conversation and invited them to the dining room.
“Look at this scene, if I hadn’t acted like I had just gotten out of bed, I would have been
I'm afraid it will be difficult to step out of the Huo Mansion today."
Su Rao spoke humorously, but her eyes and eyebrows concealed intelligence and helplessness.
Deep down in her heart, Mrs. Huo actually hoped that this seemingly weak but actually tough woman could walk out of the Huo Mansion in high spirits. In this way, any accusations and criticisms would have no place to stand, and it would be perfect.
Su Rao slowly stood up from the couch and said softly, "Sister, let's set off."
There was unquestionable determination in his tone.
As we walked into the dining room, we saw that Mrs. Huo had left two seats empty next to her.
It was obviously reserved for Su Rao and Su Yi. This deliberate and thoughtful arrangement made people feel mixed emotions.
Sitting next to Mrs. Huo was Huo Chengjun, who had a complicated expression on her face.
Her eyes were slightly red and a little angry, and she swept her sharp gaze over Su Rao, as if giving a silent warning.
Haha, could it be that this little witch was scolded by her elders at home again?
This will only make their resentment deeper and they will be even more angry with me.
Su Rao pondered secretly but remained expressionless as she enjoyed the food in front of her.
Every bite seems extraordinarily sweet, as if silently declaring one's fearlessness and composure in this way.
In this lively occasion, even the people from the Huo Mansion had to restrain their shady little actions. After all, shadows are everywhere under the sun.
After the meal, Mrs. Huo's round and amiable face was filled with a warm smile, and her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze: "There is a gathering in the front yard. Ladies and young ladies, are you interested in going to watch it?"
Her words are like magnets, easily bringing people closer together. However, who knows what kind of unfathomable intentions are hidden behind her kind face?
Upon hearing this, everyone present responded positively and the atmosphere became extremely warm.
Mrs. Huo then took Su Yi's hand and said in a friendly tone, "Sister Wan, shall we go together?"
The two of them walked hand in hand, close and intimate like real sisters, attracting the ladies around them to echo and follow them. The scene was warm and solemn.
Su Rao looked back inadvertently, but found that He Lianyun and Cheng Xinyue had disappeared.
Huo Chengjun was surrounded by a group of young women, among whom was Su Wan, who was talking in a low voice with Huo Chengjun.
Although Su Wan was full of excitement, Huo Chengjun's reaction seemed cold and distant, and it was obvious that his mind was not fully focused on the conversation.
Su Rao's mind was as clear as a mirror, and she saw through Su Wan's plan at a glance.
Shen Jinghong was in the front yard. She must have been full of expectations, thinking that her husband would stand out at the poetry meeting.
By then, she will bathe in his glorious aura and become the envy of everyone.
The Huo Mansion gardens were deep and the paths were winding. The group passed through the winding corridors and finally arrived at the open front yard.
Here, men and women have their own space, and Mrs. Huo carefully decorated an elegant room with low-hanging pearl curtains.
So that female guests can hide behind the scenes and quietly appreciate the elegance of the talented men.
Su Rao raised her eyes and looked into the distance, only to see a dozen youthful figures gathered in front of her, except for one who was about thirty years old.
Except for Huo Hou, who is burly and exudes a sense of justice, the rest are all young talents with heroic spirit.
A barely perceptible sneer appeared on Su Rao's lips. In the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Huo and Marquis Huo were undoubtedly a match made in heaven.
Both of them look glamorous on the outside, but who knows how many unknown secrets and filth are hidden beneath this golden appearance?
Her eyes moved slightly and finally landed on Shen Jinghong, the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
He has an upright posture, a gentle temperament, and a strong scholarly air in his every move.
He seemed like a modest gentleman walking out of an ancient painting, eclipsing everything around him.
"Who is that elegant young man? He is so handsome that one can forget the ordinary world when seeing him."
Someone nearby sighed softly, his words full of admiration and curiosity for the young man.
"Yes, I wonder if he is married already?"
Several girls in gorgeous embroidered skirts gathered in a circle, gently waving the fans in their hands.
Their eyes seemed to be able to speak, revealing full admiration, intertwined with curiosity and expectation.
"That's my husband."
Su Wan opened her red lips slightly, her words were filled with unconcealable pride. Although her voice was not loud, it was clear to the ears, like the gurgling of a stream, flowing gently in everyone's heart.
"My husband is not only outstanding in appearance, like a fairy in a painting, but also has a brilliant essay, written in one breath. Reading it is like drinking nectar, which makes people have endless aftertaste."
Her eyes sparkled, as if she had foreseen the coming glory.
That expectation is like the young leaves sprouting in spring, full of vitality.
Su Rao's memory was gently awakened, and fragments of her past life emerged in her mind. Shen Jinghong also amazed everyone with his stunning appearance at the poetry meeting.
However, in this life, all of this seems to have been quietly arranged in advance by the hand of fate.
