Chapter 460.2: only afraid that you wouldnt come

His words caused her to give him the cold shoulder. Second Imperial Prince, please have more propriety when you speak. They will be your future-in-laws, and their decline isnt something glorious for you to flout.

Situ Rong coldly harrumphed. This Prince wont marry you, yet youre already mentioning future in-laws. Forget it, since you want to make connections with Princess Consort Hao to climb up, this Prince wont disturb you anymore. Ill be taking my leave. He then turned to walk out of the tavern.

Su Miao kept staring at his garish clothing until he left, not understanding why a mature man like him would want to wear such colourful attire.

Princess Consort Hao, please have a seat inside. Mu Qingyu moved to the side, sincerely inviting Su Xi-er.

Seeing her amiable expression and courteous manners, Su Xi-er nodded and walked in with Su Miao following behind.

After the door was closed, Mu Qingyu looked at Su Xi-er. Princess Consort, I beg of you to help me persuade Consort Dowager Guo not to settle on this marriage.

Su Xi-er was a little baffled.

She claimed that she wouldnt step forth, but shes now taking the initiative to bring this up.

To be honest, the Second Imperial Prince has a carefree and straightforward character, and he has no plans on getting married. If I marry him, itll just be like what he said: leading a tough life as a gra.s.s widow. I may as well just let him go if that is the case; but because of my parents, I cant be the one to speak up. Mu Qingyu slowly explained.

Su Miao suddenly said, Thats why even though you like that man from just now, you cant let him know?

To love him so cautiously; why does it feel so sorrowful?

Su Xi-er carefully observed Mu Qingyus countenance, noticing that her eyes darkened for a moment before her expression returned to normal.

I understand now, but I cant promise her.

Young Miss Mu, Im sorry, but I cant interfere in this matter; it should be settled between the two of you. Su Miao, lets go. Su Xi-er stood up and left the room without sparing My Qingyu a glance.

Su Miao tugged at Su Xi-ers sleeve. Younger Cousin, why didnt you agree to help?

There are some things that are better settled by yourself. When will you be returning to Willow Village?

Prince Hao sent some people to Willow Village today. I originally wanted to go with them, but considering that we havent seen one another for so many years, I decided that I would leave tomorrow instead.

Su Xi-er nodded. That works too. I will go with you tomorrow.

Su Miaos eyes lit up. Really?

Mmm. Su Xi-er entered another private room and ordered a few dishes, partaking of a meal with Su Miao.

Only when the red sunset glow covered half the sky did the two return to the Prince Hao Residence. Upon reaching the entrance, they saw an uninvited guest Xie Yun.

Su Miao was stunned before she greeted him, Mister.

Xie Yun nodded with a smile before looking towards Su Xi-er. Princess Consort Hao, this Prince has personally come to deliver the luminous night pearl.

Many thanks. Why dont you come in to have a seat? Su Xi-er invited him in with a smile.

With such a sincere invitation, this Prince must naturally oblige.

Commandery Prince, please. Su Xi-ers smiling facade hid the sneer in her heart.

I was only afraid that you wouldnt come!

Soon, the three reached the main hall, and Su Xi-er instructed Ruo Yuan to prepare some tea. After a while, she deliberately pretended to go to the rear kitchen to check on Ruo Yuans progress.

As such, only Su Miao and Xie Yun were left in the main hall.

Xie Yun wore a gentle smile as he remarked, I heard that Prince Hao has already sent people to Willow Village. Your elder brother will be able to recover very soon.

Thank you; if it hadnt been for you, I wouldnt have known that Younger Cousin became Princess Consort Hao. I originally thought that I wouldnt be able to see her, and was planning to go to Meis Medical Clinic to seek Physician Mei for help.

Didnt you manage to find her in the end? Princess Consort Hao is kind and treats you extremely well.

Su Miaos eyebrows were raised in a smile as she vigorously nodded. Younger Cousin is indeed very nice. She told me today that she will return to Willow Village with me tomorrow.

Oh, is that so? Despite his smile, there was a darker meaning hidden within Xie Yuns eyes.
