Chapter 976: Chapter 974 Falling into the Fire Pit

“I… I don’t know, I’ve already sent someone to look for her. How can this child be so disobedient? On brother’s big wedding day, such an important occasion, and she just runs around causing trouble!” Madam Yin stamped her feet anxiously.

“Auntie, don’t worry. If sister is not here, I’ll go in her stead.”

Su Han stepped forward, with Song Chengyi, who was always by her side to protect her, beside her.

She had specifically brought Song Chengyi over today to meet grandfather, and grandfather was very satisfied. Today was the day she wanted to gain the Su family’s approval for Song Chengyi.

Moreover, according to the rules, Su Han, being the elder sister, was not supposed to take her sister’s place.

Su Yingxue interrupted, “Cousin, you better stay with General Song. He’s not familiar with the Marquis’s Manor, to prevent any disorder.”

Her latter words were to caution Su Han because today’s guests included many notables, as well as people from the Regional Prince’s Mansion. Both Chu Xiaotian and the Old Regional Prince were present.

If Song Chengyi encountered any difficulty and Su Han was not there, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

Su Han’s heart sank as she glanced at Song Chengyi beside her, “Indeed, but with Miaoyan not here and you alone to attend, as well as needing to support Jinyan over the fire cauldron, can you manage?”

She noticed that Su Yingxue, perhaps due to being overly busy these past few days, had a complexion that was not as good as usual, and her rouge today was especially thick.

Su Yingxue felt a bit unwell, but she hadn’t noticed anything particularly abnormal about herself. She shook her head, “I’m fine, I…”

She merely shook her head lightly when she suddenly felt dizzy.

“Yingxue!”

Su Han quickly supported her.

She needed to take care of Song Chengyi, and now with Su Yingxue feeling uncomfortable, she suddenly found herself in a difficult position.

Seeing her dilemma, Song Chengyi spoke in his rough voice, “You go ahead. I’ll follow along.”

He wasn’t worried about himself; he just didn’t want to be away from Su Han.

Touched, Su Han was about to leave with Su Yingxue when Qin Wan stopped her, “Han’er, you can’t go. As the elder sister, you should be in the main hall. General Song, not being a member of the Marquis’s Manor, shouldn’t enter the front hall either.”

It was clear that Qin Wan still hadn’t accepted the relationship between Song Chengyi and Su Han.

“Mother…” Su Han sounded helpless.

“Madam, Miss Su Han, if you don’t mind, let me help you with this. I’ll go with the Ninth Princess Consort. I’m of a similar age to her and can pretend to be the younger sister, helping to support the bride,” proposed Lu Ying, walking gracefully in a rose-hued dress, dignified and composed.

Wu Jinyan had already passed through the second gate, and it was almost time for her to enter the third gate and proceed to the hall, leaving no time to ponder further.

As Su Yingxue was about to object, Qin Wan said to Lu Ying, “Then please trouble Miss Lu to go.”

With her respectable status and as a distinguished guest who had saved Su Hao, allowing him to recuperate in their Marquis’s Manor, Lu Ying, other than Su Miaoyan, was indeed the best choice.

“The bride has arrived—” announced the matchmaker loudly. Su Yingxue, furrowing her brows, had no choice but to accompany Lu Ying.

But Lu Ying moved ahead of her, stepping forward and taking Wu Jinyan’s arm.

Wu Jinyan, with her veil covering her face, could not tell it was Lu Ying; she thought it was Su Yingxue or Su Miaoyan. The tiredness from the journey eased a little as she was supported by Lu Ying, ready to step over the fire cauldron.

On the right, Su Hao was holding her red silk, an ordinarily reassuring presence. Unexpectedly, the hand supporting her suddenly let go of its strength, dragging her to the side and causing her to stumble.

“Bang!”

Wu Jinyan accidentally overturned the fire cauldron, sending sparks flying. Not only did her wedding dress catch fire, but there was also a woman’s scream from the side.

A figure tumbled into the fire cauldron.
