Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Body Hard as an Iron Wall
After coming out of the pavilion, two hours had already passed.
Su Yan, biting her teeth and enduring the pain in her knees, slowly followed behind Chu Yuxiao, her eyes fiercely glaring at him in dissatisfaction.
She had kneeled with him for so long, yet he hadn’t uttered a single word of concern, treating her as if she were invisible.
Moreover, both had kneeled for the same length of time, so why did his knees not hurt!

His knees should hurt just like hers!
“Ah—” Lost in her thoughts, Su Yan bumped into a wall.
...
Taking a step back, she saw it was Chu Yuxiao who had stopped.
Su Yan touched her nose, which hurt from the bump, and muttered to herself, “How can he be as hard as an iron wall? I almost had a nosebleed.”
“The day after tomorrow is my mother’s death anniversary; we will exhume her body and move it to the Chu family graveyard to be buried with my father.
We will stay here for the next two days. Don’t wander around; just stay put.”
“What about the murderer? What if the murderer kills again in these two days?” Su Yan hurriedly asked.
To stay here for two days, the outside world had turned upside down.
“You don’t need to interfere with this matter anymore; I have my arrangements.”
“Don’t you shield the murderer!” Su Yan didn’t forget to warn.
Chu Yuxiao scoffed and walked away without turning his head.
Su Yan waved her fist at his departing figure, thinking if another person dies, she would make him pay!
In the ancestral hall, husbands and wives must not stay in the same room.
Thus, Su Yan was arranged to stay to the left of Aunt Lan, while Chu Yuxiao stayed to the right of Aunt Lan.
This was exactly what Su Yan preferred; she certainly didn’t want to stay with a stud.
In the evening, Su Yan was invited to dine with Aunt Lan, while Chu Yuxiao had business to attend to and went out.
“Princess, we can only eat vegetarian food in the ancestral hall, so please make do for now. I hope you forgive any shortcomings,” Aunt Lan said apologetically, with a smile.
She was dressed in plain white clothing, her hair simply tied up, and had applied some rouge.
Her complexion looked a lot better than during the day.
Su Yan smiled nonchalantly, “Aunt Lan, you needn’t be so polite. Eating vegetarian food occasionally is good for the health. Besides, these dishes look delicious. How could I mind?”
