Her sister Miaoyan is still a young girl!
How could he bring himself to do this?
Utterly detestable!
Xiao Si hurried out to welcome her, blocking Su Yingxue, âNinth Princess Consort, our young master is napping right now, please wait in the front hall for a while.â
âWait for what? Where is my sister? I am here to take her home!â
Su Yingxue was fuming with anger, thinking about how Xiao Yuâs behavior was totally out of line. If he had so much as touched a hair on Su Miaoyanâs head, she would surely prick him to death.
Since she had been to treat Xiao Yuâs illness before, Su Yingxue knew her way around and charged straight to Xiao Yuâs room. She kicked open the door just as Xiao Yu was getting up.
He wasnât using a wheelchair anymore and stood in front of Su Yingxue, his tall figure somewhat unaccustomed to her.
Despite being from a merchantâs family, he carried an air of scholarly gentility, with a hint of indifference at the corners of his eyes and brows, adding to his untainted nobility.
Clearly awakened by Su Yingxue, Xiao Yu said calmly, âNinth Princess Consort barges into my room. Does the Ninth Prince know about this?â
Su Yingxueâs face turned green with anger, âIâm not here for you. What does it matter if the prince knows? Where is my sister? What have you done to her? Xiao Yu, have you lost all sense of humanity? Miaoyan is only fourteen, still a child, and you dare lay a hand on her!â
She accused Xiao Yu to his face, causing Xiao Si to wince, âNinth Princess Consort, you must be mistaken. Miss Miaoyan has been living in Qilin Garden and seems quite happy. Our young master never forces her to do anything!â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting? Is Qilin Garden her home? She has her own house and doesnât return but feels comfortable staying here with your young master? My Auntie has come several times and hasnât been able to take her back. Are you saying itâs not because your young master is preventing it?â
Su Yingxue interrogated sharply.
On this point, Xiao Si shook his head firmly, âOur young master has never stopped her from leaving.â
Itâs just that every time Madam Yin came to pick her up, after talking with their young master, she left and never mentioned taking Miss Miaoyan away again.
Xiao Yu didnât bother to argue with Su Yingxue and, with a wave of his hand, had the servants bring Su Miaoyan out.
Su Miaoyan was dressed in a light sheer skirt, delicate and lovely in color, enhancing her youthful face and making her seem like a fairy among flowers.
âSister, youâre back!â
Su Miaoyan darted over in little steps, like a pink cloud crashing into Su Yingxueâs embrace, snuggling into her.
Su Yingxue saw her cheerful demeanor and flicked her forehead, âYou brat, staying away from home for so long, have you been brainwashed by this man?â
âBrainwashed? Why would I be brainwashed? Brother Yu has been very nice to me! Iâm much more comfortable in Qilin Garden than at home!â
Su Miaoyan giggled, her face sporting two tender and soft rosy cheeks.
Su Yingxue wanted to pinch them, âYou, you even became addicted to living outside, a young girl who isnât married yet, arenât you ashamed?â
âAh⦠Sister, have mercy!â
Su Miaoyan cried out as Su Yingxue pinched her face, âSister is still unmarried, and you have been living outside all this time!!! Not returning home at all!â
Su Miaoyan was quick to draw parallels, quite adept at it, indeed.
But Su Yingxue wouldnât lose to her in verbal sparring, âSister is already married, living with my own husband, the prince. Are you married? Not only are you not married, but you are also living with this old man!â
She pointed at Xiao Yu, the label of an old man branded on him.
Xiao Si shivered upon hearing this, âMiss Su, our young master is in the prime of youth, how has he become old?â
