Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Fearing being scolded, Susu twisted her fingers together tightly and whispered, "Yes."

Su Jin: “…”

It was like a punch on cotton. Su Jin couldn't breathe out or swallow the anger in her heart. She could only stare at the cowardly appearance of the mortal woman in front of her.

After a while, when Su Su was so uncomfortable being looked at that she was about to cry, Su Jin asked, "Let me ask you, have you always been so soft-tempered?"

"What?" Susu looked up, not hearing clearly.

"Dont look at me!"

As soon as she saw Su Jin, she was scolded by the other party. Su Su quickly lowered her head and couldn't help but cry like beads with broken string.

Su Jin couldn't bear to see the woman cry, and she felt even more annoyed: "If you want to cry, go cry to Ye Hua! There's no point crying in front of me!"

Su Su responded in a low voice. She really had no relatives in the Nine Heavens. Although she had no relatives in the mortal world, the mortal world was where she grew up after all. She had no courage to resist in the Heavenly Palace.

She raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, but a soft handkerchief was thrown on her. Su Jin's disdainful voice echoed in her ears: "Wipe it."

Susu picked up the brocade handkerchief. It was soft and felt smooth when she wiped it on her face. It was like a protective shield, making her feel more at ease.

"Thank you." She lowered her eyes: "I'm not actually that soft-hearted, it's just that the Heavenly Palace..."

"What about the Heavenly Palace? What about the human world?" Su Jin said disdainfully: "Whoever bullies you, you bully them back. How dare they hit you? The more I see you, the more cowardly you seem. It really makes me angry!"

She was so angry that even Su Jin didn't understand where the anger came from.

"They don't dare to hit me..." Susu murmured.

But they treated her like a soft knife, never looked at her kindly, and never said anything nice to her. She couldn't even leave, and she hadn't even had a full meal since she came to the Heavenly Palace.

Su Jin glanced up and down at the mortal woman in white and said to her unhappily, "My brother...your husband Ye Hua was just knocked unconscious by me. You better stay at Yilan Fanghua and don't go out and wander around."

"Ye Hua is injured!" Upon hearing that Ye Hua was injured, Su Su was no longer afraid of Su Jin. She immediately walked to Su Jin and asked anxiously, "How is he now? Is his injury serious?"

Shocked by Su Su's proximity, Su Jin didn't know what to say. She hadn't expected this mortal woman to be so bold. She immediately scolded her, "How dare you! I told you not to look at me, let alone come near me. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain, and you dare to disregard them?!"

Su Su was shocked, her face pale: "I... I'm worried about Ye Hua..."

"What's the harm in beating up a grown man like him?" Su Jin was annoyed. "Still looking at me? Lower your head!"

Not daring to look at the bright and imposing female fairy in front of her, Susu quickly lowered her head.

Su Jin felt a little relieved and ordered her, "Step back five steps and keep your distance from me."

Susu did as she was told.

Su Jin turned and left. After walking out of the palace gate, she went back and said in a bad tone: "Take good care of the baby. Don't think too much and look sad. It makes me angry when I see it."

……

Five days later, Su Jin came to Yilan Fanghua again.

As soon as she entered the room, she didn't even look at Susu and sat down on the couch.

Susu stood up and wanted to pour her some water, but Sujin looked down on her and directly ordered a maid named Nana in the hall to pour it.

Taking a sip of tea, Su Jin looked at Su Su, who lowered her head and didn't dare look at her but was obviously in a good mood. She immediately became unhappy: "In a good mood?"

Listening to Su Jin's question, Su Su nodded: "Yes, Ye Hua came to see me and said that all the cold words he said to me in the hall before were not sincere. He was only forced to do so because of the pressure from the Heavenly Emperor."

Su Jin blinked blankly, not understanding this person's train of thought. She was puzzled: "Just this, and you're happy?"

"Yeah." Su Su blushed, "I'm glad Ye Hua still has me in his heart."

"What a joke." Su Jin put the teacup in her hand down heavily on the table. "There's not even a cup of hot tea in the bedroom, and you're so happy? Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea after drinking it?"

Susu looked up in surprise, but as soon as her eyes met Su Jin's, she quickly lowered her head.

Su Jin looked at her even more displeased: "What is your status now?"

Su Su replied, "I am Ye Hua's wife."

"You are not," Su Jin told her, "Ye Hua's wife had already been chosen by the Heavenly Emperor, a marriage he himself agreed to. She is the Fairy Bai Qian, the Queen of Qingqiu. You are at best a concubine without a matchmaker or betrothal."

"Ye Hua has a wife?" Upon hearing this, Su Su's face turned pale, she took two steps back and staggered to sit on the bed.

"Yeah." Su Jin stared at Su Su. "She's my fiancée, we haven't gotten married yet. So I'm asking you, did Ye Hua say what position he'll give you? Consort, concubine, or imperial concubine?"

Susu felt a panic and shook her head with a pale face.

Su Jin sighed and asked again, "Let me ask you again, if Ye Hua and the Heavenly Emperor were to fight it out, and he were willing to give up the throne to marry you, would you be happy?"

"Happy." Su Su nodded, feeling sad and choking with sobs, "But Ye Hua didn't."

Su Jin: "So why were you so happy before? Just because you heard a few nice words? Women, don't be fooled by sweet words easily, stupid."

Covering her chest, Su Su suppressed the sadness in her heart and spoke with tears in her eyes: "Then why did the Fairy Su Jin tell me all this? You once said you hated me. Did you want to see me sad so that you could be happy?"

"I'm not that mean." Su Jin couldn't explain why. "Although I hate you, I won't take pleasure in hurting you before I understand the reason."

"I tell you this so you can be more clear-minded and not become a plaything in the hands of men."

"But Ye Hua is your brother..." Su Su was puzzled, "Why do you want to expose him?"

"So what if he's your brother? He deserves to be beaten and scolded for making a mistake. You should know that!" Su Jin stood up and said, "Let's go."

That night, Su Su and Ye Hua had an argument.

Su Su asked Ye Hua if he already had a fiancée. After getting Ye Hua's affirmative answer, she was heartbroken. For the sake of the unborn child, she asked him whether he would give her a legitimate status.

Ye Hua suppressed his sad tears and told her that he would give her a title, but the Emperor of Heaven would not allow it now. One day in the future, when he gained the real power of the Crown Prince of the Celestial Clan, he would give her the title of concubine.

Although she is a concubine, he will treat her as his only wife.

Susu was disheartened.

She was like a withering flower, living in a daze amidst her beauty.

Although it is not a cold dish, I still suffer from contempt and ridicule. I want to leave but can't, and I want to return to the human world but can't.

……

Jiang Ruan's heart sank as she passed by Xiwu Palace. She stopped and looked at the plaque above the closed palace gate.

Yilan Fanghua is the residence of Ye Hua’s wife from the mortal world.

She also comes from the mortal world.

Jiang Ruan went in and took Fang Hua in her arms. The heavenly soldiers guarding outside the door did not dare to stop her and could only run quickly to report to Ye Hua.

Yilanfanghua is not big, nor luxurious, but the tables and chairs are elegantly furnished.

She saw a stunningly beautiful woman lying on the bed with a sad face.

When Jiang Ruan saw her face that was very similar to Bai Qian's, he was surprised: "Bai Qian?"
