As for Su Yingxue…
She even gave her this sachet?
She quickly took the sachet and sniffed it. There was indeed a medicinal fragrance emanating from inside. She examined the sachet again and found it to be adorned with ordinary patterns, lacking any unique features.
Su Yurou tore the sachet off and tossed it into a corner of the carriage. “What a shabby thing!”
She was dressed in jewelry and was extremely luxurious. Wearing Su Yingxue’s sachet was like having a stain on it. Disgusting!
Yuan Ruo picked up the sachet and opened the window. “If Miss doesn’t like it, just throw it away!”
“Wait!” Su Yurou halted her actions and took the sachet back.
Despite her strong reluctance, she still fastened the sachet to her belt. As long as it posed no issues, she intended to keep it for the day before discarding it. She wasn’t foolish enough to fall into Su Yingxue’s trap by raising a fuss about the sachet once they entered the palace.
In Su Yingxue and Su Hao’s carriage.
In theory, the young master and the Miss of the Marquis’s Manor should have taken separate carriages. Su Hao should have been assigned a carriage of his own. However, considering the strained relationship between Su Yingxue and Su Yurou, Su Hao refrained from complicating matters.
Nevertheless, he furrowed his brows. “The Wu family must be present today.”
Su Yingxue casually waved the sachet in her hand and smiled. “If the Wu family isn’t here, how can the empress control you? Moreover, why is Su Yurou suddenly so enthusiastic?”
Upon hearing this, a crease formed on Su Hao’s forehead. “If we can’t settle this matter today, I will never marry her. My wife can only be Yan’er.”
“Sister, what are you planning? Is it dangerous?” Su Hao couldn’t help but express his concern. He didn’t want Su Yingxue to be ensnared in any potential danger due to his actions.
“Brother, don’t worry. What I’m doing isn’t dangerous. You needn’t be concerned. As long as you don’t remove the sachet from yourself,” Su Yingxue replied, playing with the sachet in her hand, her smile carrying a sense of assurance.
Su Hao sniffed the sachet carefully. “This medicinal scent is quite pleasant.”
However, as he pondered further and remembered that Su Yingxue had forcefully given one to Su Yurou earlier, coupled with the elaborate reason she had provided, he started to entertain the possibility. “Could Su Yurou’s sachet serve another purpose?”
“Brother, men shouldn’t be overly clever, lest they fall prey to women’s schemes,” Su Yingxue teased, sticking her tongue out at him.
Su Hao rubbed her head helplessly. “You! Such a mischievous one!”
Su Yingxue’s playful demeanor always reminded him of his mother.
At the empress’s birthday banquet, Chu Xiuwen was bedridden. Although the empress sympathized with him and had him brought to the palace for recovery, his injuries were severe, and he could only remain bedridden.
Chu Chengye was overseeing all affairs in Fengzao Palace.
Chu Chengye hadn’t come specifically to wait for anyone today, but when Su Yingxue and Su Hao appeared together, she instantly caught his attention. “Wow! Who’s that Miss from which family? How can she be so stunning!” “Am I seeing things? She’s like a fairy who has descended to the mortal realm!” “Oh my goodness! It’s Su Yingxue!”
Amidst the crowd’s exclamations, Su Yingxue strolled gracefully toward Chu Chengye.
She wore a peach blossom dress, with a peach blossom belt cinching her slender waist, accentuating her alluring figure.
And her face, it was so mesmerizing that it could captivate an entire nation.
Chu Chengye was left dumbfounded..
