"Where did hundreds of thieves come from? The tiles on the roof were turned from the east to the west of the city. Could it be done by manpower? Besides, there are rumors even in our mansion. I heard that last night our mansion Someone passed by the lotus pond, and saw the water ghost crawling out of the river, so frightened that he passed out on the spot, and when he woke up in the morning, he couldn't even speak well."
"Cough, cough, cough—" Su Ying didn't expect that she would scare people into a faint last night. She couldn't help but want to laugh, and her heart and lungs were pulled, and she couldn't help coughing.
Luhen hurried up to help Suying get up, while Hongbo had already prepared cushions for her to lie on the head of the bed comfortably.
"Miss, are you okay?" The two girls asked with concern.
"It's okay, but don't mention what happened last night, remember, don't mention it when anyone asks." Su Ying looked a little serious.
That mysterious man last night could mobilize so many black-clothed assassins in an instant, which shows that his identity and background are beyond her imagination.
Under the net that he arranged, she had to be careful with every step, otherwise she was very likely to be hunted down by him.
It's hard to imagine what kind of confinement awaits her after being hunted down by such a powerful and domineering man.
After a few days in a row, no one came to her door, Su Ying was slowly relieved, as soon as she was in a good mood, she recovered from her illness.
On this day, Su Ying greeted Mrs. Su with a green mark.
When it arrived, there were crisp laughter from inside.
The one who can laugh so cheerfully is undoubtedly Su Luan. When Su Ying entered, Su Luan really got tired of being in Mrs. Su's arms, rubbing back and forth like a baby.
Su Xiu, on the other hand, sat on the small embroidered pier, obediently beating Mrs. Su's legs.
The few people got along happily and harmoniously, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, but Su Ying seemed to be an outsider, out of place.
Su Ying greeted Mrs. Su, and Sun Luan raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw her, with a half-smile, "Second Sister, congratulations!"
"Why can't I understand my sister's words?" Su Ying looked bewildered.
The eldest sister, Su Xiu, was smiling and walked towards her step by step. She took Su Ying's hand affectionately and said, "I haven't congratulated my sister yet, but my mother is really kind to my sister. She found such a good family for my sister. My younger sister will become a princess in the future, so don't forget about my elder sister."
princess? What's going on here
Su Ying was really puzzled: "What did sister say? What kind of princess? Who will be the princess?" At this moment, Su Ying was secretly vigilant.
Su Xiu smiled and said to Mrs. Su: "Look, mother, the second sister is still ashamed."
Mrs. Su put down the teacup steadily, and said kindly to Su Xiu, "Your second sister doesn't know about this matter, since you are so interested, why don't you tell her."
Su Xiu nodded and smiled very affectionately: "Second sister, you don't know yet? This time, mother is really thinking about you. Guess who mother promised you to?"
No one noticed that a cold light flashed in Su Ying's eyes, she pretended to be dazed and innocent.
"Little sister can't guess it? Oh, you are really lucky. Mother promised you to His Highness Huai Wang!" Su Xiu raised her voice exaggeratedly, "Once you marry, you will be an upright princess, with a higher status than you. Yipin Gaoming Madam is still high!"
King Huai? A flash of understanding flashed in Su Ying's eyes. Sure enough, if it was a good one, how could Mrs. Su give such a good opportunity to others
Duke Huai is well-known in the entire capital, and everyone knows it.
Duke Huai's night was not white, whenever he was mentioned in the capital, everyone would shake their heads and sigh with regret.
His Royal Highness Huai Wang... he was able to write poems at the age of three, to draw at the age of five, and at the age of seven, his martial arts were already superb.
At that time, almost everyone thought that His Highness Duke Huai would be the future prince, the one who would do his part.
However, just after his eighth birthday, His Highness Duke Huai suffered a serious illness. For the next ten years, he recuperated in the Huai'an mansion without going out.
He has disappeared from everyone's sight, but his legend is still circulating in the capital.
It is said that His Highness Duke Huai has engaged seven marriages since he was a child, but soon after each marriage was made, the woman suddenly went crazy or died unexpectedly, without exception.
As a result, King Huai is also known as the King of Ghosts.
Women of the right age all over the world felt as if they had seen a ghost when they saw him, and no one dared to promise their daughters to Duke Huai.
A coldness flashed in Su Ying's eyes. They thought that they had lived in the courtyard for a long time and had no information about the outside world, so they didn't know about Duke Huai's reputation? This side wants to sell her, but she is asked to help count the money, it is really deceiving.
Su Ying remained calm, and smiled faintly: "Since Eldest Sister is so envious, then let Eldest Sister have this marriage, how about it?"
When Su Xiu heard this, her face stiffened for a moment, she squeezed out an unnatural smile, and hurriedly declined: "What did my sister say, this marriage was begged for you with great difficulty by my father and mother. How can I rob you? Absolutely not."
Su Ying had another very kind and tolerant expression: "It's okay, since my sister likes it, let's give it to my sister. Besides, there is no reason why my sister makes an appointment first when my sister is not engaged. This is against the rules."
Su Xiu was stunned for a moment, this little girl is usually so easy to fool, why is she so difficult today? She was deeply afraid that this marriage would really fall on her, so she hurriedly said, "Little sister, don't be modest, prepare to be your bride, and become a princess in the future, just take care of my sister."
Su Xiu understands very well that for Mrs. Su, it doesn't matter which of the two daughters who are not her own is sacrificed, as long as her own daughter is not wronged.
However, how did Su Xiu know that as early as ten years ago, a mysterious person from above called Mrs. Su to take care of Su Ying, asking her to take care of Su Ying "specially". One of the reasons for coming here.
Therefore, if one were to be chosen to die between Su Xiu and Su Ying, the first choice would be Su Ying.
Mrs. Su enjoyed the maid's drooping shoulders, squinted her eyes comfortably, and waved her hands slowly: "There is no need to argue, who is the King of Huai'an? That is His Royal Highness, and you are still letting it go? If the higher-ups find out, ten The head is not enough to cut off."
She said to Su Ying again, "Ying'er, you were born in a serious manner, the most noble lady in this mansion, and only you are worthy of the status of prince, so you don't have to give in, it should be yours." No one can take yours away from you."
Su Ying remained calm on the face, but sneered in her heart.
Can't take it away? That's why I can't wait to push it out.
At this time, do you know that she is the most honorable young lady born in a serious manner? Why did you think that she was the most honorable concubine in this mansion when you harmed her
