Chu Chengye had been on the receiving end of her scoldings many times, so he didnât get angry every time. This time, he sneered. âSu Yingxue, since youâre so concerned about Young Master Xiao, why donât you drink this glass of wine for him?â
Chu Chengye passed the wine to Su Yingxue. Su Yingxueâs eyes were filled with disdain. âIs Seventh Prince drunk and talking nonsense?â
Trying to spread rumors about him and Xiao Yu?
Dream on!
Seeing that Su Yingxue was unmoved, Chu Chengye continued to pressure Xiao Yu with his wine glass.
Noble Consort Xiao had already stood up, ready to teach Chu Chengye a lesson, when the empress grabbed her hand. âSister, theyâre just younger ones talking and drinking. Why do you need to step in? Come and have a drink with me.â
Noble Consort Xiao snorted coldly. âHas Empress forgotten how to discipline your son recently?â
As she spoke, she was about to shake off the empressâs hand, but to her surprise, the empress held her especially tightly.
The empress raised her eyebrows at her. âI know youâve always been arrogant, but if you dare to drag me down in Fengzao Palace today, do you know the consequences?â
âConsequences?â
The corners of Noble Consort Xiaoâs lips curled up slightly. She had underestimated her!
The empress wanted to trick her?
The empress saw that she was not convinced and sneered. âYour precious son is locked up at home writing books. He hasnât come to pay his respects to you for a few days, right? If 1 let people burn down his bookstore, do you think he will be very sad?â
âYou!â Noble Consort Xiao gritted her teeth.
This time, the empress had her under control. Her only weakness was Chu Jinling. Ever since that child separated from Lin Sisi, he had been feeling bad and had been locking him up. If something happened to the bookstore again, he would not be hurt, but his heart would be lost for a long time.
As his mother, how could she bear to?
Noble Consort Xiao was being pestered by the empress, and Chu Chengye had been forcing her to drink. Su Yingxue felt that Chu Chengye was full of evil ideas, and Xiao Yu seemed unable to reject him.
However, her relationship with Xiao Yu was only that of a doctor and a patient. There was no need for her to care about Xiao Yuâs other matters.
After all, Xiao Yu and Chu Chengye still had imperial power and the Xiao family behind them.
âYour Highness, brother canât drink. Can 1 help him drink?â
It was unknown when Su Miaoyan had walked in front of Chu Chengye. Her palm-sized face was delicate and cute, and her glass-like eyes were so clear that it was as if the water was flowing out.
Chu Chengye smiled. âYouâre still a child. Do you know what wine tastes like?â
This was the liquor he had specially prepared for Xiao Yu.
âI donât know, but brother is not in good health. He will get sick if he drinks. I donât want to see him get sick, so can 1 help him drink?â
As Su Miaoyan spoke, she reached out her small hands to take Chu Chengyeâs wine glass.
The manâs slender hand snatched the glass of wine away before her fingers could touch it.
Xiao Yuâs voice was emotionless. â1 appreciate your kindness, Your Highness.â
âBrother, you canât drink it. Youâll get sick!â
Su Miaoyan rushed towards him anxiously. Since she couldnât snatch it, she might as well spill this glass of wine!
âLet me do it!â
Before Xiao Yu could finish his wine, Su Yingxue snatched his wine cup and downed it in one gulp. Then, she placed the cup heavily on the table. âSeventh Prince, are you satisfied?â
After downing a glass of hard liquor, Su Yingxueâs face quickly burned up, and a blush crawled up her cheeks. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMiss Su.â
âSister!â
Xiao Yu and Su Miaoyan spoke at the same time. The former was slightly shocked while the latter widened his eyes in shock.
Su Miaoyan bit her lip and thought that she was done for. She had caused trouble for her sister but she had completely forgotten that she was already in Xiao Yuâs arms and her soft face was leaning on Xiao Yuâs chest..
