Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When did the woman who always acted subservient to him and only had eyes for him no longer have room for him in her shining eyes?
Chu Chengye stood outside the door for a moment, watching Su Yingxue in her vibrant red dress, looking sleek and confident. Her stunning face could captivate anyone.
When had she started to overlook his existence, causing him to feel anxious?
Su Yingxue stood by the medicine cabinet, observing Wu Jinyan. She noticed that she was not only attentive and intelligent but also extremely sensitive to the scent of medicine, with a keen ability to identify different herbs and fragrances, particularly those favored by women.
Wu Jinyan continued working, flashing Su Yingxue a smile. “Do you find me more interesting than the Seventh Prince?”
Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow. “Naturally. It’s far more interesting for me to look at my future sister-in-law than at someone unrelated.”
This comment made Wu Jinyan blush, and she playfully scolded Su Yingxue, “Seventh Prince no longer interests you?”
Su Yingxue nodded in agreement.
Wu Jinyan chuckled, “Then who is interesting?”
Chu Yihan.
That answer immediately came to Su Yingxue’s mind.
She didn’t voice it aloud, but Wu Jinyan could still sense something from her eyes. He smiled with hidden meaning and didn’t press further.
Su Yingxue rubbed her temple, her thoughts drifting to Chu Yihan once again.
In recent days, he had unknowingly occupied her mind.
He promised to protect her, and he said that if she disliked someone, he would dislike them too…
Thinking about it made her heart itch as if something was stirring inside.
When Su Yingxue sent Chu Chengye away during the day, she already knew that she wouldn’t find peace once she returned home.
However, when she saw Su Dingheng blocking her courtyard’s entrance, she took the initiative to speak, “Father, if you want to meddle in the affairs of my clinic or the genius doctor, I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself and go rest early.”
After all, he had recently coughed up blood because of her.
If it happened again, it would waste her medicine.
Several strands of white hair adorned Su Dingheng’s head, and his complexion was not in good shape. Even his reproachful tone was much weaker, “You still dare to say that! If it weren’t for that genius doctor in your clinic, Rou’er wouldn’t be trapped in the palace right now!”
A flicker of surprise crossed Su Yingxue’s eyes, “Really?”
Su Dingheng nodded with bitterness, “It has been several days, and I haven’t seen her even when I went to the palace. I have no news about her! If it weren’t for that genius doctor entering the palace to find her, Rou’er’s return would be uncertain!”
“Oh,” Su Yingxue replied indifferently, pinching the space between her eyebrows, “Father, I’m tired. I will rest first.”
“Su Yingxue! Do you have no conscience? She is your biological sister. How can you watch her suffer in the palace without knowing her fate and not save her?” Su Dingheng’s eyes turned red as he scolded her as if Su Yingxue had committed an unforgivable offense.
Su Yingxue wanted to innocently tell him that Su Yurou had brought this upon herself. However, considering her father’s mindset, which had deviated from the Great Cheng Dynasty, she spoke solemnly, “Su Yurou deserved it. She tried to use the Empress to eliminate those close to me. If I haven’t lost my mind, I would never trade my reputation for her release. Father, wash up and get some rest.”
“Stop! You unfilial daughter! My words may no longer affect you, but don’t you even listen to your grandfather?” Su Dingheng suppressed his anger and handed Su Yingxue a handwritten letter. “It’s a letter from your grandfather.. Handle it as you see fit!”
