Chu Yan was shocked for a moment, then calmed down and said, "Fifth brother, why are you here? Even though you and Xi Ying are about to get married, it's already night and you are still in Xi Ying's boudoir. It’s bad for Xi Ying’s reputation.”
"My wife's reputation should have nothing to do with the prince." Chu Su walked to Xi Ying's side and hugged her waist, as if to declare his sovereignty.
This woman is his.
"You!" Chu Yan choked on Chu Su's words and glared.
"King Su, you are just an unmarried couple now, Xi Ying may not be your wife yet." Chu Yan gritted his teeth and said.
"What, if she is not my woman, will she still be your woman? Prince, have you forgotten what you said during the day? It was you who said that for the sake of Xi Ying's happiness, you let go. But I think most people who can let go It's not true love. After all, my Xi Ying was just an ordinary person at that time, so you avoided her. But now, she has become a genius painter again, so you rushed here so quickly. "
"Chu Su! Don't go too far! What are you talking about? Do you think I am interested in Xi Ying's identity as a talented painter? I really like her!"
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Chu Su hugged Xi Ying's waist tighter.
He looked at Chu Yan, his deep black eyes sparkling, "Then I won't allow you to like her anymore."

The backyard was bustling with activity, but Li Xinlan and Xi Wan'er had been kneeling in the study without moving.
Xi Wan'er reached for his head and wanted to see what was going on outside, but was stopped time and again by Li Xinlan.
"Mom, why don't you let me see it!" After being stopped by Li Xinlan again, Xi Wan'er collapsed on the ground in anger, "Now that dad is not here, what the servants are saying outside must be related to Xi Ying, you Why don't you let me know!"
Li Xinlan's face was basically ashen.
She saw the silver beam of light and knew what it meant.
"Child, let's stop caring about Xi Ying's affairs, and stop thinking about lying in front of your father. Our situation is over, it's over!"
"Mother?" Xi Guaner looked confused, "But haven't we said everything we should say? We really didn't inject the black velvet poison into her!"
"Then help your father find the murderer!" Li Xinlan said.
"Mother?..."
In the study, Li Xinlan and her mother were thinking about how to admit their mistakes and find the murderer. Outside the study, the servants were as lively as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Soon, the excitement spread outside the general's mansion.
"Hey, have you heard? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to compete with His Royal Highness King Su for a seat!"
"What? Steal Xi Ying? Isn't Xi Ying the quasi-princess?"
"How out-of-date is your news? Yesterday, the emperor proposed that Xi Ying be married to His Highness Prince Su! Her engagement with His Highness the Crown Prince has been terminated!"
"ah???"
"Ah, what? I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince cried and made a fuss and asked His Highness King Su to return Xi Ying to him after he found out that Xi Ying had become a genius painter again!"
"Crying and making trouble?... Isn't that unlikely?"
"How is it impossible? I have a relative who works as a maid in the general's mansion. He told me this personally!"
"Oh my god..." The man turned around and said to the others, "Hey, do you know? I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince knelt down and begged His Highness King Su to return Xi Ying to him!"
