She, Su Nuo, could only serve him for the rest of her life. She would be his pet for the rest of her life.
The eyes of the civil and military officials were filled with surprise and inquiry. They all knew that this slave who was originally the Second Prince, Su Nuo, could actually become the Crown Prince's consort. What a miracle!
After the assembly broke up, Lord Bei Chen pulled Su Nuo along.
Bai Qian walked beside Bei Chen Han, smiling as she said, "Han, I thought you didn't like Xiao'er, but I didn't expect you to even think of whether Xiao'er was willing or not."
Bei Chen Han came back to his senses and said gently: "How could that be? Na'er is Qian'Er's little sister. She will be my little sister from now on, so of course I will be more concerned about her."
She suddenly thought of something and called out to Su Nuo, who was in front of her.
Su Nuo stopped. "Big sister, what's wrong?" It was so pure and full of hope.
Bai Qian stepped forward and held Su Nuo's hand, "Our family's Na'er actually forgot about Big Sister when she was with Third Marquis Master. You forgot, you promised Big Sister that you would come back today."
Without waiting for Su Nuo's reply, Bei Chen Han walked up and smiled at Su Nuo. However, if you looked closely, you would definitely see that there was no smile in her eyes: "Xiao'er, Qian'Er has always been worried about you. No matter what, you have to go home."
Su Nuo was stunned. "I understand. Big Sister's relationship with Master is really good. Even Master took the initiative to let her go back just for Big Sister!"
The Duke of Beichen came closer, "Then I want to go as well." He then looked at Bai Qian, "Imperial Aunt, you wouldn't not welcome me, right?"
Xiao Bai smiled lightly. "How could that be? The Third Marquis is the beloved one of our family's Ning'er. If we neglect him, our family's Na'er will get anxious." As he spoke, he smiled at Su Nuo.
Su Nuo could only keep her face hidden. It seemed that her sister was completely convinced and still believed without a doubt. This was good, at least for the current situation.
The Duke of Beichen suddenly turned his head to look at Beichen, "Second brother, then you won't reject me, right?"
Su Nuo looked up nervously. She had always known that these two people were very incompatible. Upon hearing these words, Bai Qian turned to look at Bei Chenghan. Bei Chenghan smiled and said, "How could that be?" However, Su Nuo felt that she was grinding her teeth when she heard that. Su Nuo shook her head. 'I must be mistaken. Master has a big sister now, so I can put everything else aside.
When Housekeeper Zhou saw the person getting off the carriage, he felt that something was wrong with his eyes. Or rather, he preferred to see that everything was fake.
Housekeeper Zhou looked up with a conflicted expression, just in time for Su Nuo to look over. Su Nuo nodded to Housekeeper Zhou. Housekeeper Zhou froze, feeling a wave of sadness. This child had finally returned.
However, Housekeeper Zhou did not know that Su Nuo was now the crown prince's fiancée, the Crown Prince's consort. If he knew, Housekeeper Zhou would not think this way, but, ah, actually, Housekeeper Zhou's thoughts were correct, and his sorrowful foresight was the true portrayal of Su Nuo. No, the true depiction was more cruel than what Housekeeper Zhou thought, because she — Su Nuo loved Bei Chen Han.
This was a reason that Su Nuo found laughable. If they were to repeat it, she would rather die in her mother's stomach than meet Bei Chen Han.
However, it was too late, and the current Su Nuo had never thought of this. The only thing she was worried about was the sudden fight between the two of them, just like how Steward Zhou was worried.
Damn it, he actually held her hand in front of her, and even held it so tightly. Bei Chen Han held his hand in his sleeve, and if he could get up there, he would break that damned hand of the Duke of Bei Chen, shattering it into pieces.
"It took a lot of effort for Na'er to come back. You should spend more time with your sister." Bei Chen Han smiled and walked forward, and used his hand to push Su Nuo away. Su Nuo could not react in time, and was pulled over by Bei Chen Han. Su Nuo's heart was beating rapidly, as if something was suddenly revived.
Instinctively, Su Nuo suddenly removed her hand from Bei Chen Han's. This action was quite sudden, and after finishing it, Su Nuo stood there awkwardly. There was no need to look at Bei Chen Han's face, even lifting her head was difficult.
She just didn't want to have any contact with her master. That kind of contact would cause her normal heart to collapse after working hard for such a long time. If that was the case, then it wouldn't be good for everyone here.
Bei Chen Han's hand was flung away, and the gentle sensation was gone. His face became gloomy as he stared at Su Nuo, like a wild beast that was about to get angry, and wanted to tear Su Nuo apart.
No one had ever done this to him before. Yet, this slave that he had raised with his own hands was actually not allowed to be touched by him.
It was a type of Qi that was violently surging in his heart and was about to burst out of his chest.
Lord Bei Chen smiled and walked forward, pulling Su Nuo along as he handed Su Nuo's hand to Bai Qian, "Xiao Nuo, you should go and have a good time with your royal sister-in-law. I'll come and find you later."
"I really didn't expect that our family's Na'er would be so loyal to the Third Marquis. Other than the Third Marquis, she can't even touch Su Nuo in the cold …" Bai Qian's words made the suppressed atmosphere much better. Bai Qian looked at Bei Chen Han, "Han, you can't be angry, I didn't mean to anger you, it's just instinct. If someone other than the Chilling Qi were to pull my hand, I would be the same as you."
Beichen's calm face revealed a smile, "How could it be, I'm just a little surprised, how could Na'er's temper become so big?" As he spoke, he glanced at Su Nuo.
"Alright, let's go." Bai Qian saw that Su Nuo had lowered her head and pulled her away.
"It's okay, Xiao Er. I won't be angry." Bai Qian comforted Su Nuo.
Su Nuo lowered her head and whispered, "Elder sister, I'm sorry."
Actually, Su Nuo didn't know why she said she was sorry. Perhaps it was because of the awkward scene from before, maybe it was because she owed Bai Qian or maybe it was all there.
Bai Xiao smiled lightly and pinched Su Nuo's face. "Silly Nuo, what are you talking about?"
Su Nuo shook her head. "Nothing." Then, she raised her head and smiled at Bai Qian, saying, "Big sister". From now on, she could not just accept things at one side, but also hide. She had to face her own big sister, the fact that her big sister was already with her master, even if it meant that they had an intimate relationship, they had to calmly accept it.
Bai Qian still pinched her face and the two of them entered the house.
The moment Su Nuo left, the large dog like expression on Duke Bei Chen's face completely disappeared. He followed Bei Chen Han into a room and lazily sat on a chair. It was as if he had no bones, and the smile on his face never faded.
Bei Chenhan looked at him coldly and said coldly, "Who allowed you to marry Xiao'er?"
Hearing this, the smile on the Duke's face became even wider, "Of course it's Little Nuo herself." There was an indescribable joy in his tone.
"Impossible." Bei Chen Han said flatly.
The Duke of Beichen's expression turned even lazier: "Why?"
Bei Chenghan approached: "Xiao'er is my man." He was the one who raised Su Nuo and saved her, so Su Nuo's entire life was his. No one else needed to think about it.
Duke Bei Chen seemed to have heard a very funny joke: "Little Nuo is yours? "Icemountain Face, if I remember correctly, you should have nothing to do with Little Nuo right now. It was you who personally wrote Little Nuo's divorce letter. If I'm not wrong, the divorce letter is still in Little Nuo's hands." Saying that, he looked at Bei Chenghan mockingly.
Bei Chen Han narrowed his eyes, but didn't say anything for a moment, as though he was digesting the words of the Duke.
The Duke of Beichen continued, "It would be better to say that second brother is jealous of Little Nuo. He can't stand being close to me." He bowed his head as he said, "But if Third Brother remembers correctly, Second Brother only likes Xiao Nuo's elder sister, Miss Bai Qian. If that's the case, you shouldn't be jealous of Xiao Nuo."
"Of course not." Bei Chen Han said.
Duke Bei Chen stood up, walked to Bei Chen Han's side, and said with a smile, "I think so too." Then he walked out.
The Duke of Beichen left the room and walked to a garden. It was unknown what he was thinking about as Yan Qingcheng walked out from a corner, "Your Highness."
The Duke of Beichen turned around, "What's wrong with Cheng'er?"
Yan Qingcheng lowered her face as she whispered, "Cheng'er wants to leave."
Lord Beichen was stunned, he then smiled and said: "Take care of that city."
Yan Qingcheng's suppressed emotions were shattered by these words. She raised her head and stared straight at the Duke of Beichen, "My prince, Cheng'er has a question to ask?"
Beichen nodded. Yan Qingcheng hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Highness, if we did not meet Su Nuo, would Your Highness have liked Cheng?"
Duke Bei Chen didn't answer immediately, but his eyes were far away, and he opened his mouth gently, "If I hadn't met little Nuo, I wouldn't be here now."
Yan Qingcheng clenched her fist as she gritted her teeth, "Cheng, I understand. I will bid my farewells to you now."
She thought, she and Su Nuo were just as pitiful as each other. She loved a man who didn't love her so strongly, but she was different from Su Nuo. She could suffer together with this man, but she couldn't just sit by and watch this man live happily with the person she loved.
But Su Nuo was different, she knew that this seemingly weak, yet loving woman, if she did not meet her prince, if she did not feel too indebted to him, then right now, this woman was not by his side, but was using all kinds of humble reasons, even in pain, to stay by his side just to take a look at him.
In truth, Yan Qingcheng's thoughts were not wrong. It wasn't that Su Nuo did not love Bei Chen Han, but after what had happened, she had no choice but to comply with the circumstances and bury her feelings. She wanted to create the best for everyone except for herself.
