Chapter 1619 -1612: Rather Marry a Dog Than Marry You
Su Yingxue’s gaze turned downcast for a long time.
Long Shuli gently stroked the wound on her forehead, “It seems you’ve forgotten again, it’s alright, slowly remember. It’s fortunate that your injury isn’t too severe, your memory will gradually come back.”
She felt sorry for Su Yingxue and did not let her attend the clinic today, taking her to visit relatives instead.
Standing in front of the Regional Prince’s Mansion, Su Yingxue didn’t quite remember when the Marquis’s Manor had become related to the Regional Prince’s Mansion. She saw an elegant and beautiful lady welcoming them at the entrance.
Behind her stood two maids in neat order, along with a woman dressed in palace attire who appeared to have an imperial edict and a young lady of apparent rank.
Upon seeing Long Shuli, Su Han greeted and paid her respects, “Auntie, it must have been tiring coming all this way.”
Long Shuli smiled, accepting her greeting.
Su Han’s gaze immediately fell on Su Yingxue, “I heard the other day that Sister Yingxue was injured, how is the injury now? Although the medicine in the Regional Prince’s Mansion isn’t as precious as that in the Marquis’s Manor, if Sister needs anything, I will certainly offer all I can.”
Su Yingxue felt somewhat unfamiliar but politely exchanged pleasantries, “Thank you, Sister, I’m not seriously injured.”
It seemed her politeness surprised Su Han, “Is Sister willing to call me Sister now?”
“Did I not address you as such before?” Su Yingxue was puzzled once again.
“Before…” Su Han lowered her eyes, covering her mouth with a smile, “Before, Sister wouldn’t even cast a glance at my family’s status.”
“Yes, Miss Su is someone more noble than a princess, our Regional Prince’s Mansion indeed feels quite inferior,” Madam Sheng, wearing a dark green robe, complimented with a smiling face in front of Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue was very uncomfortable with their flattery, but still followed Long Shuli inside.
Su Han accompanied Long Shuli, while Su Yingxue took Zhilan’s hand and asked, “Were the relations with my cousin not good in the past? And with her husband’s family as well?”
Zhilan sighed softly, “Miss truly can’t remember anything! Miss Han used to vie for favoritism in the Marquis’s Manor; originally, the Old General favored her more. However, she is five years older than you and got married when it was time, so she didn’t interfere with you. Your relationship as sisters was indifferent, so you didn’t often address her as Sister.”
“But Miss Han’s in-laws were not chosen well. She liked a Deputy General named Song, but she was given in marriage to His Highness the Regional Prince, and His Highness loved her dearly.
“Nevertheless, the women of the Su family all have a streak of pride, and Miss Han would not bear children for the Regional Prince, who in anger took many wives and concubines at once, making Miss Han suffer for a while…”
“Such a thing happened!” Su Yingxue clenched her fist hard; although the relationship was not good, who could bully her sister?
“Do not be angered, Miss, now the entire Regional Prince’s Mansion is treating Miss Han with great respect!” Zhilan hurriedly soothed Su Yingxue’s clenched fist.
Su Yingxue relaxed her fist, “What do you mean by respect?”
Zhilan continued, “Originally, the Regional Prince could not have children, but after Madam’s treatment, two concubines are now pregnant. The entire mansion is now grateful to our Marquis’s Manor and naturally treats Miss Han well.
“The Regional Prince’s mother, Madam Sheng, also sympathizes with Miss Han’s hardships and has allowed her to manage the household without the burdens, taking care of everything for her personally.”
“That’s not too bad, but Sister Han is ultimately married to someone she doesn’t love,” Su Yingxue reflected with some regret.
Furthermore, she noticed Su Han standing with Madam Sheng; Madam Sheng had the coiffure of a married woman, while she had the hairstyle of an unmarried girl.
Clearly, she had no feelings for the Prince of Yong’an County.
“No matter how reluctant Miss Han is, what’s done is done. I’ve heard that the Deputy General Song has long been dispatched to the border,” Zhilan said in a low voice with a sigh.
“So why not just recall them back? Our family boasts several generals, doesn’t it?” Su Yingxue recalled that when Zhilan was telling her about the splendor of the Marquis’s Manor, she mentioned that her grandfather was a general, her eldest uncle was a general, and except for her father who served as a civil officer, it seemed even her brother was a top-rank general.
Zhilan’s eyes widened, “Miss, do you really think so?”
Su Yingxue was a bit startled, “Is there something wrong with that?”
“Nothing’s wrong, what Miss says, someone in the family will surely listen, it’s just that Miss Han… might…”
“Then just dissolve the marriage, rather than staying with someone unliked and wasting one’s life,” Su Yingxue said lightly.
On the other side of the garden, a man dressed in a silver robe with embroidered cloud patterns could no longer control his clenched fists, “Su Yingxue, you are being too overbearing, even thinking of making Your Highness dissolve the marriage with Han’er!”
Chu Xiaotian suddenly leaped out and roared in rage.
Su Yingxue took a step back, pulling Zhilan with her, “You… Prince of Yong’an County?”
“Indeed! At the very least, you should address me as your brother-in-law. What have I ever done to you? I even invited the Ninth Prince to our residence as a guest for you, yet you harbor such venomous intentions!” Chu Xiaotian said, stepping back.
Behind him was Chu Yihan, looking pale, with a pair of ink-black eyes that were cold and devoid of warmth.
At this moment, only two words crossed Su Yingxue’s mind: “It’s over!”
“Ahem!”
With a fist to her lips, Su Yingxue coughed into her hand and walked towards Chu Xiaotian, “The wind was a bit strong just now, the Regional Prince must have heard wrong, I didn’t say anything, thank you for inviting the Ninth Prince as a guest to my place, I am very grateful for your kindness.”
Chu Xiaotian was so angry his face turned red, “Su Yingxue, you…”
“Your Highness the Regional Prince, madam is currently in the Manor visiting your concubine,” Zhilan sternly warned.
There weren’t many people who could yell at Su Yingxue.
Chu Xiaotian, of course, knew this. Aware of the status of Marquis of Martial South’s Manor and Su Yingxue’s capabilities, all he could do was glare fiercely at Su Yingxue before storming off angrily.
Worried that Su Yingxue might be injured by Chu Yihan again, Zhilan initially wanted to stay by her side.
But when Su Yingxue waved her away from behind, indicating for her to leave, Zhilan could only walk away, hiding behind the circular arch and listening for any disturbances.
With no one around, Su Yingxue sighed in relief and then sat down in front of Chu Yihan.
Looking at Chu Yihan’s pale face with concern, she asked, “Are you feeling better? I have already pleaded with the emperor, and he’s not confining you anymore. You are now a free man, and you can take your time to recuperate properly.”
“Oh?” A low, husky voice escaped from the man’s throat, his voice slightly hoarse, drawing out a sensually lingering tone that made Su Yingxue’s mind grow fuzzy.
Feeling a bit shy, she bowed her head modestly, “Mhm.”
“It would be best to visit the Tongchang Medical Center and have Dr. Su treat you, correct?”
Su Yingxue did not perceive the ridicule in his eyes and still harbored some fantasies, “If you are willing, I will certainly treat you well…”
“In your dreams!”
The man’s gaze instantly turned sharp as a knife, carrying a chilling, bloodthirsty coldness.
He lifted his lips, his voice filled with mockery, “Su Yingxue, you had better give up that notion. In this lifetime, Your Highness would rather marry a dog than marry you.”
