Chapter 16 Obvious favoritism

Not only the old lady, but everyone except Su Leyun looked at Su Waner in shock.

Looking over, King Jin saw their reactions in his eyes, and raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips. Everyone knew that Su Hou was strict in his family management and his back house was clean, but it seemed like this.

She is a country girl, and she doesn’t know how much injustice she will suffer in this deep house and compound.

"This is an internal matter in the Suhou Mansion. It is inconvenient for me to stay longer, so I will take my leave."

Prince Jin stood up and walked up to Su Leyun. His cold eyes were filled with tenderness and he spoke with a smile.

 “The jade pendant has been put away. I will come to see you next time.”

Su Leyun couldn't tell how he felt when the deep male voice came into his ears, so he had no choice but to say goodbye.

 “Send to His Royal Highness the King of Jin.”

The King of Jin smiled, turned to Su Hou and said considerately: "Su Hou still has family matters to deal with, so don't send him away."

 “Father, stay here while I go to see the prince off.”

Su Ye had a confused expression on his face and strode out, only catching up with King Jin at the corner of the verandah.

 “What does the prince mean by this?”

Su Ye looked quiet and stood in front of King Jin.

“Your Majesty? When did you become so alienated from me?”

 King Jin stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Su Ye would go with him.

Su Ye took a step back, followed Jin Wang, and said seriously: "I don't know when the prince met my sister, but I hope you will not have such an affair with my sister out of love since childhood. Kind of a joke."

Su Ye next to him didn't know, but Wen Po clearly asked King Jin to help find her, but he insisted on pressing Su Leyun, and made his words so ambiguous.

 It really damages the reputation of my daughter’s family.

 “You think this is a joke?”

 The King of Jin raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

“How many noble girls in Kyoto, the prince doesn’t even look at me, but they fall in love with my sister who just came back from the country?”

Su Ye lowered his face and stared at King Jin without giving in. Although he has a straightforward temper, he is not stupid. It affects his sister's life and he must ask clearly.

 “Do you think your sister is not worthy of me?”

Prince Jin chuckled and twirled the fingertips that Su Leyun had just touched. Her unique fresh fragrance seemed to still linger in his nose.

 He has always been cold-hearted, but for some reason, he became interested in the legitimate daughter of the Suhou Mansion.

 The noble ladies in the capital have all kinds of manners, but they all lack that freshness and wantonness.

 Recalling her arrogant expression threatening him that night, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

“My sister is certainly worthy of the best man in Kyoto.”

Su Ye raised his head slightly, held King Jin's shoulders, and they both stopped at the same time.

"Your Majesty, if you just say a word, I, Su Ye, will be furious and destroy the brotherhood between you and me. But my sister cannot. She is wandering outside and suffering a lot. I just want her to be happy in the future."

 After speaking, Su Ye looked at King Jin steadily, as if asking for a promise from him.

"I see."

 King Jin patted Su Ye's shoulder comfortingly, and without commenting, he strode out of the Su Mansion, followed by a group of attendants, and left majestically.

Watching King Jin leave, Su Ye said to himself: "What on earth does he mean?"

Thinking about it all the way, I returned to Chaohua Xiaozhu.

The atmosphere in the main hall was condensed, and the servant girls and servants did not even dare to speak out. They could only hear Su Waner's plaintive sobbing.

Su Changqing had a cold face, and the sullenness that had been suppressed for a long time finally came out, and he slammed a tea cup on the ground.

"You still have the nerve to cry! Today, the face of Suhou Mansion has been thrown directly in front of King Jin!"

After the words fell, Su Waner did not dare to cry anymore. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and tensed up, her body trembling like a leaf falling in the wind.

The old lady couldn't look away, glanced at her son reproachfully, took Su Wan'er into her arms, and comforted her softly.

"Why are you so loud? It's not Wan'er's fault."

"It's not her fault? I stole, stole and got both, and let the King of Jin see me. Where do you want me to put my face!"

Su Changqing had a dark face and slammed the table.

The old lady frowned, wiped away the tears for Su Wan'er who was hiding in her arms, and said loudly, as if she was risking her life: "I am old and have a bad memory. It was I who put this jade bracelet under Wan'er's pillow. It was meant to be given to her. her."

Hearing this, Su Hou's expression became even worse, and he immediately threw up his sleeves and left.

Sun Jiarou's eyes were filled with resentment. The same thing happened to Yun'er, but she wouldn't let him go. She searched the yard, but when it came to Su Waner, she let it go. How can there be such a reason in the world?

Su Ye was even more dissatisfied and shouted directly.

"Grandma, if you steal, you steal. How can you be so fake?"

The sonorous voice burst out with annoyance, and Su Waner was so scared that she buried her head lower and lower.

The old lady frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "Are you questioning me? Or do you want your sister to have a bad reputation? What good will her bad reputation do to you?"

 After saying that, she looked at a room full of girls and servants and gave stern orders.

“If anyone dares to reveal even a single word about what happened today, I will make sure that he has no place to stand.”

 After saying that, the old lady took Su Wan'er and left slowly, comforting her softly all the way.

Su Ye wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Su Leyun.

 “Forget it, brother.”

Su Ye sat on the chair angrily and said indignantly: "Grandma is too partial!"

 Eccentric? Where did this go...

Su Leyun looked at the direction they left and sneered. Su Wan'er was the old lady's eyeball, so she couldn't be too partial.

 In her previous life, she was falsely accused of stealing a jade bracelet, and both people got the stolen goods. In a panic, the jade bracelet was broken into two halves, and her grandmother became furious.

"You, a loser, will disturb the peace of the whole family as soon as you come here!"

 “She is indeed a country girl who grew up in the countryside, a shallow-sighted thing!”

“What are you doing when you come back? My Su family has been completely disgraced by you!”

She wielded a cane and made a lot of noise, fearing that others would not know that her granddaughter was a thief...

Looking back on today, not only did she personally rescue the siege, but she also threatened her servants not to speak nonsense. It can be said that Su Waner has taken everything into consideration.

It turns out that her grandmother is not unkind, she just dotes on Su Waner.

“Mom, brother, I’m so angry that it hurts me. Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved. It’s nothing.”

Su Leyun smiled in relief, held Sun Jiarong's and Su Ye's hands, and comforted her softly.

"I am a blessing in disguise. I will be on the family tree tomorrow. You should be happy."

 She sat next to the two of them, pretending to be relaxed and amused.

 In her previous life, her mother and brother had done too much for her, so let her protect them in this life.

No matter who her opponent is, she will not let the tragedies of her past life happen again.

“Well, to say the least, I have to thank King Jin. Yun’er, when did you meet him? Why did he give you the jade pendant?”

Sun Jiarou raised her hand to straighten Zhu Chai's temples for Su Leyun, and asked with concern.

Su Ye stretched his neck with curiosity on his face.

It turns out that the meeting by the moat was not the first time they met, but they had a long history.
