Mu Jin supported her master and loudly stated her identity.

"This is the son of our Wancheng Chu prefect, so you must not be rude!"

An Xun was about to retort when Xu Jiuyue's boat came over and heard Mu Jin's voice.

Knowing Chu Xuan's identity, he sneered and said,

"Who was I thinking he was? Turns out he's just a bastard son of the Wancheng prefect.

How dare you come to my Cangzhou City and act like a jerk! You hit someone and you didn't even apologize!

What? Did you think this was your Wancheng?"

Chu Xuan looked at Xu Jiuyue and immediately became jealous. Another person who looked better than him! And her status was a little higher than his.

"Xu Jiuyue! It's you! What are you doing here? Could it be that you've also fallen for her?"

Chu Xuan pointed directly at Su Yu.

Su Yu's mouth twitched, and his mood instantly plummeted to the bottom.

This Chu Xuan is really arrogant. He doesn't care about his face in public at all, and even wants to drag Xu Jiuyue into the water.

"Isn't Master Chu too arrogant? He rammed our boat in public and spoke so rudely to Master Xu.

Don't you even have the modesty of a man?!"

Su Yu's voice was a bit loud, and when the other boats around heard Su Yu's voice, they gradually gathered around to watch the fun.

Su Yu waved his hands behind his back towards An Xun and Jin Xuerong. An Xun quickly understood what Su Yu meant.

While the surrounding ships were not around, he pulled Jin Xuerong and quietly retreated to the cabin.

Su Yu looked towards Xu Jiuyue, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

I didn’t expect that after not seeing her for a month, Xu Jiuyue had lost so much weight!

Xu Jiuyue knew that she had been in a bad state for the past month, so she must have looked very unhappy.

Seeing Su Yu looking at him, he subconsciously wanted to escape, not wanting Su Yu to see his miserable state.

But thinking of Chu Xuan's words, he couldn't escape. If he escaped, what would happen to his and Su Yu's reputation!

"Chu Xuan! How dare you, a man, say such shameless things in public? Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to Prefect Chu?"

Xu Jiuyue knew about Chu Zhifu. After all, Cangzhou City and Wancheng were adjacent to each other, and his mother had also talked about Chu Zhifu.

He was somewhat aware of this. Prefect Chu was very concerned about her reputation. Although Chu Xuan was the son of Prefect Chu's favorite husband, his reputation was not as important as hers!

Chu Xuan snorted coldly, unconvinced.

"Xu Jiuyue, don't try to use my mother to pressure me! My mother dotes on me the most, what do I have to be afraid of!"

Chu Xuan was not afraid, but he did not expect that the people around him would start pointing fingers at him, and some even criticized his figure.

"Who is this man? Why is he so fat?"

"Hush! Didn't you hear them? This is the son of Prefect Chu!"

"What?! The prefect's son eats like this? He's really not ashamed!"

"Don't dare to say anything careless. Be careful if Prefect Chu finds out. You'll be in big trouble!"

"This is Cangzhou City! Not their Wan City. No matter how powerful Prefect Chu is, can he surpass Prefect Xu?"

Chu Xuan was spoiled since he was young. Under his mother's rule, no one dared to say anything bad about him in Wancheng.

In Cangzhou City, he had been here for so many days, and almost every day he would hear people talking about his body shape and pointing fingers at it.

If his guards heard someone pointing out his body shape, they would immediately beat the person up.

So when he went out, no one dared to talk about his figure and everyone stayed away from him.

I didn't expect that today at Cangbo Lake, so many people would dare to point fingers at his figure.

Chu Xuan was about to go berserk.

"Shut up! Shut up! All of you shut up!"

Mu Jin also heard the whispers of the people around her and knew that what they said was right.

Fearing that his master would be provoked into doing something outrageous, he hurriedly leaned over to Chu Xuan's ear and whispered,

"Master, this is Cangzhou City, not our Wan City. Those who can come to Cangbo Lake are all well-known people in Cangzhou City!

If you cause any trouble, the master will be too far away to handle it!"

When Chu Xuan was furious and wanted to ask the guards to beat up all those who dared to talk about his figure,

Only after hearing Mu Jin's words did he calm down his angry heart.

Chu Xuan knew how powerful his mother was. When he was in Wancheng, no matter what he wanted, his mother would always protect him.

But this is Cangzhou City. If he makes any trouble, he will lose face for his mother.

His mother was the first one who would not forgive him. He had seen his father being slapped by his mother.

Although it happened only once, the cruelty of that one time is enough to be remembered!

Chu Xuan got scared, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and returned to the cabin, and the boat left.

The people around saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, and there was the son of the Xu magistrate standing on a boat over there.

They didn't have the courage to provoke the local prefect's son in Cangzhou City, so they retreated one by one.

Su Yu knew that this incident disappeared without a trace thanks to Xu Jiuyue. Who among those prominent people in Cangzhou City didn't know Xu Jiuyue?

With Xu Jiuyue around, all the spearheads were directed at Chu Xuan, and Su Yu seemed to be invisible.

But how can it be really invisible? Although they don't say it openly, but secretly what happened today,

In essence, it is just two sons of the prefect's family vying for the favor of a noble lady.

Su Yu looked at Xu Jiuyue. Xu Jiuyue's reputation would eventually be affected because of her.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for helping me out today, but why did you do this?"

Xu Jiuyue tried hard to restrain his gaze from being glued to Su Yu. He hadn't seen her for a long time.

She was still as bright and beautiful as ever, but he had become thinner and uglier.

"I know you can handle today's affairs without me.

I was being nosy today, but I just couldn't bear to watch you being bullied."

Su Yu sighed inwardly. After not seeing each other for a month, Xu Jiuyue's flamboyant personality had become much more restrained towards her.

"Mr. Xu, why are you doing this?"

Su Yu's words clearly revealed Xu Jiuyue's thoughts and her rejection.

Xu Jiyue took a step back in pain when she heard Su Yu's words.

"Su Yu! I'm willing!"

Not wanting to hear another word of rejection from Su Yu, he staggered around and was helped into the cabin by Qingshan. Soon Xu Jiuyue's boat disappeared from his sight.

Su Yu sighed as she watched Xu Jiuyue become what she is now because of her.

But Su Yu knew in her heart that she might be moved by Xu Jiuyue, but she didn't have any feelings for her at the moment.

Moreover, Xu Jiuyue was the legitimate son of the prefect, and there was a huge gap between them.

It was impossible for Magistrate Xu to allow her son to marry a businessman as a concubine.

And the only candidate for her legal husband in her mind is Jin Xuerong!

Jin Xuerong was her first stunning surprise and first ray of warmth in this world.

The first person who had no secrets from her! The first person who relied on her wholeheartedly,

It's love at first sight, but it also grows over time!

Su Yu turned back to the cabin, Jin Xuerong was the first to rush over, holding Su Yu's arm and said worriedly,

"Su Yu, what happened? Are you hiding something from us?"

An Xun also expressed concern.

"Master, have you been troubled recently because of that young master from the Chu family?"

Su Yu didn't expect Jin Xuerong and An Xun to be so perceptive. She didn't let Qiao Er and the others tell Jin Xuerong, but she ended up making the mistake.

Su Yu smiled and said,

"Is it obvious?"

Jin Xuerong pulled Su Yu to sit down and shook her head.

“It’s not obvious, but you can feel it.”
