Chapter 967: Chapter 965: Xiao Yu is a Cultivated Old Man

Only half a month remained.

Time pressed upon them somewhat, but the Marquis’s Manor had many hands to make light work. Furthermore, Chu Yihan had dispatched several of the prince’s mansion’s most capable stewards to come over, led by the head steward. With their help in the Marquis’s Manor, the wedding preparations naturally progressed much faster.

When the head steward and the other stewards reported back in front of Su Yingxue, their faces bore smiles, “Princess, rest assured, Young General Su’s wedding will definitely take place as scheduled and without losing any of the Marquis’s Manor’s dignity.”

Qin Wan and Madam Yin were also involved in the preparations. Seeing the efficiency of the prince’s mansion’s people, they felt increasingly at ease.

Qin Wan said, “The help from the Ninth Prince’s Mansion has been of great assistance and is an honor for our Marquis’s Manor.”

The head steward modestly nodded his head, “Madam flatters us. When the Princess’s natal family needs assistance, the Ninth Prince’s Mansion will naturally give its full support.”

Su Qingzhi was extremely satisfied as well, and he reminded Qin Wan and Madam Yin, “You must treat the people from the prince’s mansion with great care and ensure that His Highness does not feel neglected. His Highness has granted great favors to the Marquis’s Manor.”

Qin Wan and Madam Yin bowed in unison, “Yes, father.”

The two of them envied Su Yingxue above all. Madam Yin smiled with narrowed eyes as she looked towards Su Yingxue, “His Highness the Ninth Prince’s care for you shows a deep and profound affection for our family’s Ninth Princess Consort.”

“Auntie, you are teasing me on purpose! It’s been so long since I last saw His Highness!” Su Yingxue pouted, feeling sour. Had it not been for grandfather’s warning that she must not rashly enter the military camp and with Chu Yihan being too busy to even touch the ground, she would have rushed to his side long ago.

“Though sister and brother-in-law have not met, brother-in-law’s heart has not spent a moment away from sister!” Su Miaoyan laughed crisply.

“You cheeky girl, itching for a spanking, aren’t you? You haven’t copied any texts for quite some time, and just yesterday you were playing in Qilin Garden…” Su Yingxue purposely drew out her tone, her eyes hiding a hint of mischief.

Su Miaoyan quickly hopped over to her and pulled her away, “Sister, Sister Han asked us to go taste-test the dishes! Let’s hurry!”

The two of them scurried off at a run, disappearing in no time, leaving the elders in the hall smiling at their playful antics.

Su Yingxue stood in the small corner outside the kitchen, humming lightly, “Feeling so guilty, what naughty thing have you been up to with your ‘handsome brother’ Xiao Yu?”

“You’re the naughty one! Xiao Yu would never do anything bad to me! He’s the most handsome and the best man!” Su Miaoyan’s little mouth pouted sky-high, and her proud expression seemed to place Xiao Yu above all else.

“In just a few days? ‘Handsome brother’ has become ‘Xiao Yu,’ and now he is also the best man? Su Miaoyan, you haven’t even come of age yet, aren’t you ashamed! Xiao Yu, an old man over a decade older than you; you must have been fooled by him!”

Su Yingxue fumed at the thought, rolling up her sleeves as if she wanted to go beat Xiao Yu up.

On the surface, he was doing business with her, but behind the scenes, he was scheming after her little sister!

He truly was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, that dog of a man!

“I haven’t been fooled by him, Xiao Yu just often takes me to Qilin Garden for fun. He’s handsome, knowledgeable and generous. Being with him, even reading doesn’t feel so dull,” Su Miaoyan defended, her bun-like face peachy-pink as blossoms, growing even rosier as she spoke of Xiao Yu.

Su Yingxue felt as if she was seeing her own foolish self infatuated with Chu Chengye back in the day!

She smacked Su Miaoyan’s head firmly, “Wake up! Xiao Yu is an old man who has honed his skills to perfection. Even when I do business with him, I have to be careful. What about you?”

It wasn’t that she looked down on Su Miaoyan; the young girl was full of spirit and cleverness!
