"She is so thin because her mother had a difficult birth and has been in poor health since she was a child. Later, she fell off her horse and injured her body. It is not that I am partial to her and treat her badly."
Su Qiao looked down on me for two seconds, but then he bowed his head in agreement with a amiable look on his face: "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood. How could my father treat me so badly?"
"I have the blood of the Su family in my veins. For this reason, he cannot let people outside suspect that I am not welcomed in the mansion and that my mother treats my own sister's daughter badly."
The kind expression on Su Xiang's face froze instantly.
These two people... These two people came here deliberately to cause trouble today, trying to choke him to death, right
Xi Hanzhou glanced at him coldly, then turned around and touched Su Qiao's head helplessly: "Alas, you are just a little too kind."
"Even the servants in the mansion can laugh at you and bully you to your face, and your food and clothing are worse than those of the servants, yet you still speak for those people with such evil consciences. How can I trust you if you are like this?"
"Whenever I think of the life you lived before, I want to chop those ruthless people into pieces and feed them to wild dogs."
Su Qiao glanced at Su Yuxin, who was so scared that she finally fainted on the ground, and Su Xiang, who had no idea how to react, and laughed in his heart.
"Your Highness, I..."
Prime Minister Su looked at his daughter who had fainted on the ground, and wanted to have someone take her away quickly. Firstly, to prevent her from catching a cold, and secondly, since she was no longer around, she would not be an eyesore to the prince.
Unfortunately, Xi Hanzhou had already turned around when he opened his mouth to speak.
"Qiao'er, don't worry. If anyone dares to bully you again, I will pay him back tenfold or a hundredfold, and cut him into pieces."
The corner of Su Qiao's mouth twitched.
He was clearly making Su Yuxin lie on the ground.
This guy is still so narrow-minded.
But why did she find it so cute
"What are those?"
Su Qiao had already noticed the large group of eunuchs and palace maids following behind from a distance.
These people were carrying a dozen wooden boxes, and it looked like a large group of people.
Xi Hanzhou turned his head and took a glance: "Some are rewards from my father, and the rest are clothes and jewelry that I personally selected for you. I also brought two embroiderers and a lot of fabrics, you can choose whichever you like."
Su Qiao glanced outside.
Judging from their clothes, the two women in the back don’t look like ordinary palace maids. They are women in their thirties and should be embroiderers from the Clothing Bureau.
'Isn't this a bit too grand?'
Those who don't know might think he is here to propose marriage.
"Don't bother, I have enough clothes to wear.
Xi Hanzhou shook his head and touched the fabric of her clothes with disdain. "These rough things will scratch your skin. How can they be worthy of you?"
Su Qiao looked down.
well enough
This dress was sent by her stepmother three days ago. The material is good and the style is popular outside. A total of five sets were sent.
I guess these must have caused her a lot of pain for a while!
"Okay then." Let him do it. Anyway, the things have already been brought here, and it would not be nice to send them back.
"You really don't want to go back to the palace with me?"
Xi Hanzhou was a little depressed.
He had even found an excuse, saying that he was not feeling well and needed her to take close care of him. Before coming, he had also greeted his father.
But unexpectedly, she herself was unwilling to go.
"No need, I'll live in the palace, what's the point of that?"
