Su Wan glanced at the brother and sister from the Siswell family, and her heartbeat suddenly became a little irregular.
She frowned slightly, and when she saw the two men coming towards her, she finally did not dodge.
Jiang Xuecheng noticed Su Wan's discomfort. He gave Su Wan a reassuring look and then reached out to hold Su Wan's hand.
It seems to be saying, don’t be afraid, I’m here.
When Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng's comforting eyes, her mood finally calmed down a little. She stretched out her fingers, held Jiang Xuecheng's palm, and slowly felt the warmth in Jiang Xuecheng's palm.
With Jiang Xuecheng by her side, what is she afraid of
This man always gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
Seeing that Su Wan's uneasy mood had been stabilized, Jiang Xuecheng's narrow and long phoenix eyes flashed two rays of starlight.
He glanced indifferently at Fiennes and Tia who were walking quickly towards him, with a dignified look on his face.
"What do you want?"
"Tia misses His Highness, can't she come to the Divine Court to see him?"
Diya's eyes were sparkling. She smiled brightly at Jiang Xuecheng, and then suddenly looked at Su Wan.
Those fiery red lips suddenly curled up into a sarcastic smile.
"I seem to have heard that Your Highness went to the underground auction market for someone? Oh, such a dirty place. Tia is really worried that Your Highness will be unhappy if he sees or hears something!"
Su Wan straightened her back, bit her lip unconsciously, and took a few deep breaths before she calmed down.
She knew that Tia was trying to sow discord, but she didn't mention anyone by name, so it would be awkward for her to rush forward and argue with her.
Tia raised her eyebrows at Su Wan, as if she didn't expect Su Wan to be so patient.
But it is true. This woman had a child of unknown origin with some unknown man in the early days. Although the child was aborted by the high priest, a bastard is still a bastard, right? !
The more Tia thought about it, the more indignant she became. She totally couldn't understand why such a questionable woman could be favored by the prince!
What on earth does Su Wan have the right to do this
Tia stared at Su Wan without blinking, a hint of cold jealousy passing across her delicate face.
—
Tsk, she was even sold to a human trafficker. She has been dirty for so many times.
He even dared to shake the hand of the Emperor's son openly. He is so shameless!
Anger flashed in Diya's eyes, and she finally decided to use Su Wan as a gun.
"Ms. Su, you said that those women who were abducted and sold to human traffickers are so pitiful. Even if they are rescued, I am afraid that I don't know how they will be abused by others, right?"
As she spoke, Tia covered her face with her hands and started to giggle.
"If I were them, I would have found a river and committed suicide long ago!"
Su Wan met Tia's meaningful gaze without fear or surprise. Her voice was cold, like a frozen river in a snowy day, so cold that people shivered.
"Ms. Tia, at a time like this, aren't those women and children abducted by human traffickers victims? Only someone as mentally fragile as you would choose suicide. Those criminals really deserve to die!"
Diya originally thought that she had exposed Su Wan's pain point, and Su Wan should be extremely ashamed with her face turning red and white, but she didn't expect that this woman was so shameless.
Tiya glared at Su Wan angrily, but at this moment there was a poisonous light in her bright eyes.
"you-"
From what Tia had been taught since childhood, aristocratic ladies like her had to constantly plan for marriage from the moment they were born.
At least before getting married, she couldn't do anything wrong. After all, sometimes many nobles paid great attention to whether a girl was a virgin before getting married.
But what happened to Su Wan now completely turned all of Tia's cognition upside down.
Why is His Highness still so obsessed with Su Wan that he is completely lost in thought
And Su Wan was actually standing here openly, without a trace of shame!
"Su Wan, I have never seen a woman as shameless as you..."
She glanced at Su Wan coldly. Just when Diya wanted to scold Su Wan again, she suddenly felt someone grabbing her hand fiercely.
Tia raised her head and looked at the person who was holding her wrist in disbelief.
"Your Highness—"
Tia's originally arrogant face turned pale in an instant.
There were two tears in her beautiful eyes, about to fall, and she looked extremely pitiful.
"Your Highness, do you know that the high priest has personally promised that I will be engaged to you in two weeks! Your Highness, how could you do this to me and treat your fiancée like this!"
She stared at the man in front of her infatuatedly, and many complex emotions flashed through her tearful pupils.
Infatuation, madness, worship, and strong possessiveness.
—From the first time she saw this man, she understood what it meant to fall in love at first sight and what it meant to truly like someone.
In terms of appearance, family background, scheming, and skills, how is Su Wan, that commoner woman, better than her
She is the eldest daughter of the Siswell family!
No matter how much His Highness likes Su Wan, she is just a commoner woman. Sooner or later, she will become His Highness's wife!
And Su Wan could only become a mistress!
There is no way it can be recognized by the Divine Court, let alone by the High Priest!
Hearing Tia's words, Su Wan's hands trembled suddenly.
Jiang Xuecheng and Diya...
Getting engaged in two weeks?!
But it was clear that not long ago, Jiang Xuecheng asked her very sincerely if she was willing to marry her.
How could these two people...
Su Wan took a deep breath, and her clear almond eyes fell on Jiang Xuecheng with a slight questioning look.
"Is what she said true?..."
Jiang Xuecheng turned around and looked at Su Wan very firmly. His voice was clear and deep, like the crisp sound of wind blowing a jade curtain.
"Wanwan, do you believe me? If you do, I will go back and explain to you."
Being looked at like this by Jiang Xuecheng, all the hesitation in Su Wan's heart suddenly disappeared.
Involuntarily, she silently swallowed the words she originally wanted to ask.
"Of course I believe you!"
The words came out of his mouth without thinking, and Su Wan nodded vigorously at Jiang Xuecheng.
Su Wan's five simple words seemed to have an invisible weight, and Jiang Xuecheng suddenly felt at ease.
In fact, Jiang Xuecheng had indeed heard the high priest talk about this matter a long time ago, and the high priest directly hit the core of the problem.
It is said that he has just taken office and has little experience. In addition, the four major families are ready to make a move, and sooner or later they will have to find someone to marry to stabilize the relationship. Only the eldest daughter of the Siswell family is the most naive one.
If he marries Tia, he will lose nothing, and Tia will become his best and most loyal helper!
Jiang Xuecheng felt warm in his heart. He shifted his gaze back to Tia, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and a trace of disgust that was difficult to conceal flashed in his eyes.
"Tia, I've never had a fiancée, and even if I did, it definitely wouldn't be you!"
