Su Yingxue didnt have time to deal with Chu Chengye. After the banquet ended, she found a pavilion and sat down, quietly contemplating the reason for the empress favored Su Yurou and her mother.
Zhilan attended to her, softly whispering, Miss, someone is here.
Somewhat weary, Su Yingxue opened her eyes and saw a woman in an elegant azure gown, holding a thin veil.
She adorned her head with a jade hairpin, a symbol of her status. Tassels accompanying her soft laughter produced a crisp sound.
Did I disturb Sisters rest? Su Han smiled faintly, her pure beauty carrying a touch of grace.
Su Yingxue smiled and gestured to the seat in front of her. Su Han, please have a seat.
Su Han was her uncles daughter, well-educated since childhood. Born into the Marquiss Manor and with her father serving in the Ministry of Works, she was destined for a good match.
But what was even more fortunate was her marriage to the princes mansion in Yongan County. It had left all the women of the Su family envious.
At the time of her marriage, Su Yingxue was still quite young. But she remembered her cousin before her marriage, radiating a scholarly aura, holding books, resembling a paintings fairy.
Now, that fairy-like countenance seemed somewhat fatigued by the world, and the scholarly aura had waned.
Su Han took the initiative to seek Su Yingxue out, speaking with enthusiasm. Its been a while, Sister. Youve become shrewder and more dignified after taking charge of the Marquiss Manor.
Su Han was genuinely surprised to see Su Yingxue today. Locked within the princes mansion in Yongan County, she couldnt meet often, but she had heard numerous rumors about Su Yingxue, quite different from the sister in her memories.
Seeing her today was indeed extraordinary.
However, Su Yingxue sensed something different in her cousins words. She propped up her cheek. Cousin, do you think Ive been too forceful in asserting my authority today?
If Sister asks, Ill be candid. In my view, yes, Su Han replied, fanning herself, her eyes holding a deep meaning. Finndd the newst ovels on n//velbin(.)com
Seeing Su Yingxue waiting for her to continue, she added, Although you disciplined Aunt Liu and her daughter today, it left a pitiful impression on them in front of everyone. Firstly, its not good for your reputation. Secondly, if Aunt Liu causes trouble in the future, the relationship between Second Uncle and you might be endangered.
Relationship? Su Yingxue sneered. I dont care about that.
But youre not married yet. Some things require consideration. However, since Aunt Liu covets the power you hold, Second Uncle will still have the final say in the Marquiss Manor, Su Han advised carefully, every word sincere.
Su Yingxue nodded. I understand, Su Han. I wont create conflicts in public in the future. But, if youre here, is there something I can help you with?
Su Yingxues relaxed demeanor eased Su Hans tension.
People dont visit without reason. Su Yingxue thought.
Although Su Han was her cousin, she wouldnt come to talk if it wasnt necessary.
Su Hans scholarly aura was shrouded in a sense of helplessness. Indeed, Ive come to ask Sister for help today. Id like Sister to diagnose me, check my pulse, and examine my body.
Su Yingxues brow furrowed slightly. Is Cousin unwell? Let me take your pulse.
Su Yingxue reached out and felt Su Hans pulse.
Su Hans words were tinged with a deep bitterness. Sister, youre not married yet, so you dont understand the agony of a woman without children. Its been three years since I married, and I still havent borne a child. Its distressing..
