Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

Tingyue Tower is one of the largest restaurants and teahouses in the capital.

At noon, the restaurant was full of guests, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

Su Manman walked up the stairs and just as she was about to enter the door, she looked up and ran into Su Jiaojiao.

Today, she is wearing an elegant embroidered long dress with a thin belt around her waist, which can be held in one hand.

Her face was still covered with a veil, and a pair of fox-like charming eyes were revealed through the veil. Her face was half covered and half exposed, which made her look particularly mysterious, making people want to see her true appearance.

Dressed like this, she stood at the door of the restaurant and immediately attracted many people's attention.

"Sister."

She lowered her voice and called softly, "Why are you here?"

She had seen many women in the harem perform this kind of coquettish voice.

So, she is not unfamiliar.

Su Manman stood still, raising her chin slightly, "If you can come, why can't I?"

"No, elder sister, you misunderstood what my younger sister meant."

Su Jiaojiao seemed to have suffered a great injustice. She lowered her eyes and said, "Eldest sister, mother is seriously ill and unconscious. I think you should stay by her bedside to show your filial piety and not come to this noisy place to have fun."

She spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Originally, I wanted to stay by the bed, but my eldest sister had someone guard the gate and wouldn't let us in."

"My younger sister wants to be filial, but she dares not disobey her elder sister's wishes."

After she said this, the guests in the lobby shook their heads.

"This Miss Su has been raised in the countryside and has not learned any manners."

"Yes, when my mother was sick, she refused to let anyone visit her and didn't even stay by her bedside. That was really too much."

"I've heard for a long time that this Miss Su is the nemesis of the Su family, that's why she was sent away."

"Yeah. Look at how much has happened in the Su Mansion in the past two weeks since she returned."

"Shh! Keep your voice down. Be careful your nemesis might get to you."

The discussions around them reached their ears.

Su Jiaojiao was proud in her heart, but her face became even more miserable. "Eldest sister, please don't blame me. I'm just telling the truth."

Su Manman couldn't stand people making trouble: "Grandma loves you the most. Last night, her life was hanging by a thread. I stayed by her side all night, but there was no sign of you."

"This morning, you should have stayed by her bedside and fulfilled your filial duty."

"What are you doing in the restaurant?"

"Could it be that grandma is waiting here for you to fulfill your filial duty?"

Maybe she heard last night that King Qi asked her to come to Tingyue Tower today, so she followed him eagerly.

"You..." Su Jiaojiao was so angry that her face turned red.

She tried her best to hide the indignation in her eyes and said softly, "I have made an appointment with someone to come and ask for medicine for my grandmother."

Su Manman frowned.

She also wants to ask His Royal Highness Prince Qi for a piece of ice stone?

Did she think Ye Mo gave her the Ice Stone so easily?

Not wanting to pay any attention, she walked straight inside.

The waiter came forward and greeted them warmly, "Excuse me, ladies, we are full."

Full house?

She glanced around and looked at the private room on the second floor.

Ye Mo invited her here to drink tea and play chess, so he should have booked a table early.

At this moment, she opened her mouth to ask.

Asking this in front of so many people would inevitably lead to them criticizing their relationship.

She didn't want to have anything to do with King Qi.

While she was hesitating, Su Jiaojiao, who was standing beside her, raised the corners of her lips slightly under her thin veil.

as predicted!

His Royal Highness Prince Qi's appointment yesterday was just a casual mention.

How could a man as high and mighty as him really care about this country bumpkin!

Su Jiaojiao concealed her excitement and said, "Eldest sister, it's very difficult to book a private room here."

"But that's okay."

Su Jiaojiao said, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin has made an appointment with me on the second floor to have tea and listen to opera. If you don't mind, I can tell His Royal Highness. I just don't know..."

Her voice weakened. "Will His Royal Highness Prince Jin agree to let me go? I'm afraid he'll be unhappy."

"But it doesn't matter. Even if Your Highness is unhappy, I will try to talk to Him."

When everyone heard her say this, they started talking again.

"Although the second young lady of the Su family is a concubine's daughter, she is outstanding in appearance, and her skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting are among the best among the noble ladies in the capital."

"It's only natural that such an outstanding woman is favored by His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

"The eldest daughter of the Su family, although she is the legitimate daughter, carries the reputation of being a nemesis and has been living away from home for several years. She is uneducated and unskillful. It's a pity for her delicate face."

"There is no shortage of beautiful women in the capital. Which mansion would marry her as a mistress just because she is beautiful?"

"It's okay to take a concubine."

"Right, right. Even if you take a concubine, you need to be very strong to be able to withstand the bad luck she brings!"

Everyone was talking about it, and the more they talked, the more unpleasant their words became.

Su Manman's face changed, but Su Jiaojiao beside her laughed even more happily.

Su Manman couldn't stand seeing someone who was secretly trying to trip her up, so she said sternly, "Sister, you are indeed a concubine's daughter. Your own mother relies on men to survive, so I have to rely on men to survive, too."

"It's just a private room in Tingyue Tower. I can't make the decision myself. I have to cling to a man to get a seat."

"It's ridiculous."

"I am the legitimate daughter of the Su family. I can decide what I want on my own without having to look at a man's face."

She took out the seal from her sleeve and waved it in front of the waiter, "Lead the way."

The servant's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he immediately said respectfully, "Miss, please go up to the third floor."

What third floor?

Tingyue Tower has three floors in total. The first floor is the hall for entertaining ordinary people, and the second floor is the elegant rooms for entertaining various dignitaries and officials.

There are only a few rooms on the third floor, and they have never been open to the public!

This Miss Su has only been back in Beijing for over half a month. Which important figure does she have a connection with to be able to go to the private room on the third floor?

Under the scrutiny of everyone, Su Manman walked up the stairs.

"Miss Su..." A man's clear voice came from behind.

Su Manman turned around and saw a man in a light blue brocade robe standing at the door of the lobby. He looked up at her with a faint smile.

He has an outstanding appearance and a handsome smile. When one looks at him, it feels like a spring breeze and the whole heart is moved.

Her ex-husband came.

Su Manman frowned slightly, "Your Highness is calling me?"

Ye Zhi took a few quick steps and came to the bottom of the stairs. "Miss Su, if you are free, I have something to ask you. Why don't we have a cup of tea?"

As soon as he said this, you could hear a pin drop in the entire hall.

what happened?

Prince Jin came to Tingyue Tower, but he ignored Su Jiaojiao and instead made an invitation to Su Manman first.

Everyone's eyes scrutinized the two of them, as if they had discovered a huge secret.

Su Manman glanced at Ye Zhi, then glanced at Su Jiaojiao, who was standing beside her, looking a little frustrated, and said coldly, "Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness, but I have an appointment today."

She bowed to him and went straight upstairs.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

God!

This Miss Su actually rejected the invitation from His Royal Highness Prince Jin.

"Your Highness"

Su Jiaojiao, who had been ignored the whole time, stepped forward and interrupted anxiously, "Eldest sister has something to do, otherwise we should first..."

Being interrupted for no reason, Ye Zhi frowned.
