Chapter 150 She
Chapter 150 She
"Miss Ren, don't talk nonsense. If it weren't for me, you would probably be head and body separated by now." Su Fuying said calmly, but her eyes fell on the man beside her.
Lu Yanxiu did not expect Su Fuying to stop him. He looked at Ren Yinxue with a cold gaze and said in a tone as cold as ice that had never melted for a thousand years: "No one can slander her. It would be too good for you to die a quick death."
Ren Yinxue's heart trembled, and a huge panic spread from the bottom of her heart. This man had actually tried to kill her without hesitation. How dare he!
"Get out of here!" Su Fuying suddenly snapped.
Ren Yinxue was about to retort when she met the man's terrifying gaze and felt the warmth and stickiness flowing from his fingers. She had only one thought in her mind—run away! Otherwise, these two madmen would really kill her.
"Pfft." Su Fuying burst out laughing as she watched Ren Yinxue flee in panic.
Why are you stopping me?
The man beside her looked displeased; with that attack, Ren Yingxue's head would have already fallen to the ground.
"Why kill her? This is the Grand Commandant's residence, not the Regent's residence. Don't let others be implicated."
This "other person" naturally refers to someone in the Grand Commandant's household. Besides, Ren Yinxue had other uses, so it would be a pity if she died so soon.
The two exchanged a glance, and Su Fuying suddenly remembered what he had just said to Ren Yingxue, and a tingling, itchy feeling spread through his heart.
"Do you like me?"
The woman's question was simple and clear, her gaze thoughtful.
Lu Yanxiu was momentarily stunned by the question, his gaze falling on Su Fuying's pretty face.
Suddenly, the man's lips curled into a playful smile as he leaned closer, his voice carrying a hint of seduction:
"Didn't you say the Regent loved you to death? Why ask again?"
Su Fuying froze, abruptly raising her eyes to look at him, her gaze meeting his dark eyes.
Those eyes were like a whirlpool, trying to sweep her away.
For some reason, Su Fuying felt her body getting hot and her heart beating faster.
Secretly pinching her palm, the pain brought Su Fuying back to her senses. Her tone was somewhat stiff as she said, "Wasn't that a joke? Is the Regent so petty?"
"Am I stingy? Isn't Little Yan Yan stingy?"
The man's voice had a hint of gritted teeth, and Su Fuying knew in her heart that this man was going to settle scores later.
"I was merely asking. If I like it, I like it; if I don't, I don't. Why does the Regent need to provoke me?"
The woman feigned anger in her voice; this man was glib and smooth-talking, and she wouldn't get the answers she wanted from him.
After a long pause, the man abandoned his lazy attitude, his Adam's apple bobbing as he uttered two dry words: "I don't like it."
"call."
Su Fuying breathed a sigh of relief. She had said that she had only met the Regent a few times, so how could he possibly like her?
That's just wishful thinking on my part.
But it's all good. I felt a strange sensation in my heart, which made me feel much lighter and relieved, as if the burden had been lifted.
Suddenly noticing that the two were still holding hands and pressed together, Su Fuying snapped back to reality and let go of their hands.
"Alright, I'm going back to keep my mother company. You can do as you please."
After the woman finished speaking, she turned and left. Before leaving, she looked back and glanced around to make sure Gu Qibai wasn't there before she left with peace of mind.
"Su Fuying".
The woman paused upon hearing this; it seemed to be the first time she had heard this person call her name.
It really sounds beautiful.
"Remember my words: leave the capital and do not provoke her."
Su Fuying did not turn around. The man behind her had a deep voice, and for some reason, there was a sense of desolation in it.
"Who?"
Su Fuying asked in confusion, but when she turned around, there was no one behind her, only fallen leaves fluttering in the air.
Her? It was because of her that Lu Yanxiu asked her to leave the capital last time, wasn't it?
Is it really that scary?
......
"mother."
As soon as they entered the front hall, they saw Madam Pei busy greeting the guests, and some ministers were also busy exchanging pleasantries with each other.
Hearing the voice, Madam Pei turned around and saw her beloved daughter. She quickly came over and said with a doting expression, "Where have you been? Your mother has been looking for you everywhere."
"Go outside for some fresh air."
Su Fuying explained simply.
Madam Pei looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, asked in a low voice, "What happened just now? I saw Ren Yingxue leave crying."
Su Fuying's smile widened as she gave Madam Pei a reassuring look. "It's nothing serious, I just said a few words to her."
"I'm glad you're alright. Come on, I'll take you to meet them."
Immediately afterwards, Madam Pei led Su Fuying through the crowd, among whom Madam Ji was the most enthusiastic, holding her hand and chatting for a long time.
The goal is simple: to praise them lavishly!
"Ying'er".
In the shadows, Madam Pei quietly tugged at Su Fuying's sleeve, signaling her to look over.
Su Fuying looked up and saw the old lady sitting alone in the corner of the courtyard, looking at her with loving eyes.
Seeing Su Fuying looking over, the old lady was startled and quickly looked away.
Su Fuying felt a little helpless, so she slowly walked over and softly called out, "Grandmother."
The old lady's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she called out in a somewhat emotional voice, "Ying'er..."
Su Fuying walked over and sat down next to the old lady. It had only been a few days since they last met, but for some reason, the grandmother and granddaughter had suddenly become much more distant.
"Ying'er, Grandmother has something to say to you."
The old lady pondered for a long time, as if she had made up her mind, her eyes filled with determination.
"Grandmother, you don't need to tell me. Just tell me, were you involved?"
Su Fuying naturally knew what she wanted to say, but at this point, the truth was no longer important.
The old lady was not surprised by her attitude; her daughter Ying'er was intelligent, so it wasn't strange that she knew.
“My grandmother didn’t know; I only found out about it much later.”
The old lady's voice was somewhat tired, and she looked at Su Fuying with a worried expression.
She was afraid that her daughter, Ying'er, would no longer want her as her grandmother.
Upon hearing this, Su Fuying breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the thing she had been most worried about these past few days had not happened.
Immediately, the woman smiled and put her arm around the old lady's arm, speaking affectionately, "Since Grandmother doesn't know, this matter has nothing to do with you. How about Ying'er comes back to keep you company in a few days?"
The old lady looked flattered and surprised. "Really?"
"Nature is more genuine than pearls."
Su Fuying's lighthearted tone brought a smile to the old lady's worried face.
The grandmother and granddaughter sat together, and the old lady talked on and on, recounting many things about Su Fuying's childhood that she herself could not remember.
The old lady spoke with a face full of kindness.
