In the study room, Xie Qingrong was reading the《 National Policy》 with relish. Xuanyuan Chen was standing in front of the desk and finishing the unfinished painting, while Shen Haoxuan was dozing off.
This scene was extremely warm and harmonious, but in the eyes of Su Yanluo who was pushed in the door by a shadow, it was extremely eye piercing.
She had spent a lot of effort to curry favor with Ye Ningyu, wanting to get close to him. She had originally planned to use her identity as the principal daughter of the Ministry of Rites to marry Ye Jiaze and become his legal wife.
However, he did not expect that the Ye Family would gradually decline because of Second Prince Xuanyuan Jing. His father had ordered him to not go near any members of the Ye Family.
However, what surprised her was that Third Prince Xuanyuan Chen was actually selected as the next Crown Prince. Before the banquet yesterday, her father had repeatedly reminded her to definitely attract Xuanyuan Chen's attention.
Otherwise, the Su Clan wouldn't be able to protect itself.
Thinking about it, she looked at Xie Qingrong, who was immersed in the wonderful book, with jealousy and hatred, and felt extremely resentful in her heart.
Noticing Su Yanluo's forceful gaze, Xie Qingrong sneered disdainfully in her heart. She laughed at Su Yanluo for not seeing the situation she was in right now, and still daring to be so presumptuous in her eyes.
Xie Qingrong let out a cold snort, put down the《 National Policy》 in her hand, walked to Su Yanluo's side and pinched Su Yanluo's chin with her slender white fingers, and slightly raised her head.
Her eyes slightly narrowed, as her cold and detached gaze continuously sized up Su Yanluo's face, and coldly said. "Who gave you the guts to directly look at I like that? Her eyes are beautiful, but I feels disgusted, so why not gouge it out? "
Su Yanluo was intimidated by the cold and malicious intent in Xie Qingrong's words. Her heart slightly trembled, and she struggled out of Xie Qingrong's grasp.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, like a calm lake that had been broken by a stone. The sparkling ripples made her look really pitiful.
Just as her tears were about to fall, she looked at Xuanyuan Chen who was sitting high up on the desk and begged with a trembling voice: "My prince, maidservant is dressing up in her room but was kidnapped by a black clothed man and sent to my Duke's Mansion. When they heard that the wangfei wanted to gouge out the maidservant's eyes, they were even more shocked and terrified. I wonder what maidservant did wrong? to be treated like this. "
However, Su Yanluo was slightly pleased in her heart, with her current appearance, she would definitely attract the pity of the Prince Chen.
When Xie Qingrong heard this, Xie Qingrong felt bored in her heart. Compared to Ye Ningyu, Ye Ningyu was smarter.
But Su Yanluo only knew how to seduce people with lust.
Xuanyuan Chen placed the brush in his hand on the ink stone, and at the side, there was a small pond to wash his hands. Only then did he raise his eyes to look at Su Yanluo who was kneeling down.
Indeed, from the looks of it, there was a hint of pity on his face. However, he had never been someone who cared for the fairer sex.
Her indifferent gaze swept across her body, then shifted to Xie Qingrong's face. Seeing her extremely impatient face, she couldn't help but laugh lightly in her heart.
He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Miss Su, do you know why I specially went through so much trouble to get you from the Su Palace?"
When Su Yanluo saw Xuanyuan Chen's somewhat amiable expression, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart. It seems that Xuanyuan Chen had been bewitched by his pitiful and delicate appearance.
In between his brows, there was a hint of complacency, "I don't know why Your Highness has summoned me here, could Your Highness tell me why?"
"Puchi —" From the moment Su Yanluo entered, Shen Haoxuan's drowsiness had long since disappeared without a trace. Hearing Su Yanluo's foolish words, she could not help but laugh out loud.
Xuanyuan Chen's cold gaze swept over Shen Haoxuan, who immediately went silent like a chicken.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he said indifferently, "Since Miss Su doesn't know, then this king will tell you this. This king's wangfei thinks that Miss Su's eyes are too beautiful and intends to admire them. This duke also feels that it would be better to gouge out such beautiful eyes on Miss Su's face for her to appreciate. What do you think, Miss Su? "
"AHH@@
Just now, how much self-confidence did she have to think that the Prince Chen would be tempted by her pitiful appearance!
At this moment, the most important thing was not to seduce the Prince Chen, but to protect his own eyes.
Su Yanluo knelt on the ground and trembled, trying her best to close her eyes so that he could protect herself from being gouged out, even though she knew it was all to no avail.
Xie Qingrong snorted disdainfully, then picked up the《 National Policy》 and continued to read.
Her original intention was only to scare Su Yanluo, she never thought that this Su Yanluo would actually not endure threats, and did not know how the Minister of Rites usually taught his daughter, to the point where he did not even care about her safety.
Just as Su Yanluo was panicking, Butler Meng entered the study room to report to Xuanyuan Chen. Su Yixiu, the son of the Minister of Rites, was waiting for his master's summons in the main hall.
When Su Yanluo heard that his brother came to the Prince Chen's Mansion, he suppressed the fear in her heart with difficulty. She hoped that his brother could protect him.
Su Yixiu entered the study room and saw her foolish little sister, Su Yanluo, with both of her hands tied behind her back. She was kneeling on the floor, and her eyes were filled with a painful begging expression as she looked at him.
In his ice-cold face, he frowned slightly. He had to pay his respects to Xuanyuan Chen before he understood why his sister was bound here.
"Prince Chen, this official's little sister has committed some sort of mistake. Please tie this official's little sister up until now." Su Yixiu asked with a cold and clear voice, like a mountain spring, ding dong dong.
Xie Qingrong raised her head and looked at Su Yixiu coldly. After staring for a while, she retracted her gaze.
Facing Su Yixiu's doubts, Xuanyuan Chen did not want to intentionally scare Su Yanluo like he did with earlier. Instead, he answered's doubts in a proper and proper manner, "At yesterday's banquet, this Miss Su should be clear what exactly she wants to do."
Su Yanluo was shocked, her long eyelashes trembled, but she did not dare argue on her behalf. She knew that sometimes, her words would not go through her head, and would easily offend others, and would misspeak.
He was waiting for his older brother to justify himself.
"This?" Su Yixiu pretended to be suspicious.
The new seed naturally knew Su Yanluo's plan from yesterday. If she had not stopped him, Su Yanluo would not be kneeling here in one piece at this moment, she might have long been pressed into the prison of the Ministry of Justice by Xuanyuan Chen.
Even the Su Family would become the target of Xuanyuan Chen's blade.
