Chapter 161 The Princess Is Jealous
Su Yi felt uncomfortable because of the two people's constant persuasion.
"I give it you. If you don't want it, I'll command some one to braise it later!"
Cui Qingyun had no choice but to accept it, "Then...I take it with great honor."
Cui Qingyun talked a lot with Su Yi which ranged from desserts to cooking, but nothing interested Su Yi.
She was so impatient that she asked directly: "Second Miss Cui, you don't intended to talk to me about these after such a long journey, do you?"
Su Yi was just blunt but not stupid. What different kinds of people didn't she meet during those years when she traveled across the world with her father?
The Miss Cui was sophisticated in the beginning. Otherwise, she would not even have the qualification to get into the gate due to her background.
But she not only came in her house, but also succeeded in attracting her attention, which indicated she's not just a simple and innocent person.
If she was in good humor, she would like to enjoy her show. But she was in bad mood, what she felt was mere disgust.
Cui Qingyun was also tired of those conversations which couldn't relate to the important topic which she wanted to talk about.
She ever thought of cutting to the chase. It's straight forward since whatever she did led to the same result.
Now that Su Yi asked, Cui Qingyun stopped her topic, looked around and said: "Could miss dismiss your servants. I have important things to tell you."
Su Yi didn't know what scheme was she plotting. But she thought her tender physique was unable to pose any threat to her, so she cast a sight to Xia He as an implication.
Xia He understood and went out with other servants in the room.
Cui Qingyun also turned around to shoot a glance at Bao Zhu, "You go out too."
Bao Zhu responded and closed the door for them before she left.
Since there were only two of them in the room, Su Yi said, "Now can you go on?"
Cui Qingyun pursed her lips with her dodging eyes. She slowly spoke out: "I heard you have an engagement with the Lord Yan, is that true?"
Su Yi slowly raised her jaw and her eyes became cold, "Is...that any of your business?"
Cui Qingyun knew she would definitely be angry about this. But most women from rich and loyal families understood the rules of survival inside the house, which was that it was the norm for men to have wives and concubines at the same time, just like her father. Her mother could tolerate there were eight concubines in the family.
"The lord has a noble status. And it is impossible for him to have only one wife. Instead of letting others take advantage of it, why not find someone at your side to help you win over the lord's heart? What do you think?"
When Su Yi listened to her words, she only felt a buzzing sound in her head. Was this woman crazy? She didn't get married yet! And she had already dreamed of sharing her man? Did she think her whip was just an ornament?
"Win over the lord's heart?" Su Yi asked in reply.
"Right. There is no man who doesn't like to play the field. If we gang together, the ones who come after us can't have the ability to turn the table." Cui Qingyun thought her analysis was perfect.
But Su Yi wasn't nobody. She never ever got the short end of the stick at her whole life and no one had the qualification to do that, even he was the lord! Otherwise she would feel guilty because she failed to live up to the reputation her father earned for her?!
"Huh, why do you think you have the qualification to help me win over his heart?"
She stood to her feet and walked forward to Cui Qingyun. She bent down and stretched out a finger to stroke from her cheek to her jaw.
She exerted a little effort to raise her jaw up with her finger, "Merely with your face?"
Cui Qingyun swallowed her saliva nervously. She couldn't figure out Miss Su's thought. Why did she do this? Was she going to scratch her face?"
Su Yi loosened her hand and wiped it with a handkerchief, "Do you think you are more beautiful than me or you can have schemes to conquer the man who I couldn't conquer. If so, you are really confident."
Su Yi's beauty was unique, which was no only dignified and elegant but also wild and intractable. ordinary people couldn't bracket with her together. Cui Qingyun was beaten by her in temperament. Less to say her appearance which was less delicate than Su Yi's.
But Cui Qingyun didn't think so. She may not be beautiful, but still attractive. Maybe she catered to the lord's taste if he was tired of those kinds of beauties.
But Cui Qingyun knew that Su Yi was angry now. If she said something inappropriate, she may completely provoke her.
"Of course not. My elder sister, you have brilliant appearance. I just thought that if someone marries to the mansion after us, I would be able to help you. I have absolutely no intention of strive for favor with you."
Su Yi got angry when she heard her calling her sister, and interrupted her directly, "Don't care about my business. As long as I am in the Yan mansion, there will never be another woman!"
Cui Qingyun was anxious, "You...how can you say that? That's the prince! Even if an ordinary family would not let a man only marry one woman, you've committed one of Seven Crimes! If the lord takes up that position someday... ..."
Before she finished, Su Yi changed her expression, directly threw a cup towards her feet and rebuked her sternly: "Shut up!"
Cui Qingyun looked at the fragments with a pale face. It took her long time to get over the shock.
"Idiot!"
Su Yi opened the door and left, only leaving her such a word. She raised up her volume and commanded: "Some one come and expel the woman from my house! From now on, she is not allowed to appear in any occasion with my presence!"
Cui Qingyun didn't know how she got back home. All she knew was that she was embarrassed to death. Su Yi was so arrogant. She would wait and see her doom!
Since they didn't reach settlement, don't blame on her for being cruel and merciless!
At the same time, An Yi reported what happened in the Su mansion before to Lord Yan.
"Your highness, the woman who was expelled by Miss Su left with the parrot which you sent to Miss Su."
Mu Shaoling didn't raise his head, "Oh? She detest it so much?"
An Yi didn't respond because he didn't understood the object of "detest", which was the parrot or the woman.
The lord continued to ask: "What did the woman say? Why did it make her so angry?"
"She said...said she wanted to look after you with Miss Su together..." An Yi tried hard to organize his wording.
Mu Shaoling couldn't help laughing, "Is she beautiful like a fairy?"
"Not really. She is plain I don't think she can arouse your appetite." An Yi said honestly.
"Then she was really courageous. But it seems that my little princess is apt to be jealous." Mu Shaoling's tone was flat, and An Yi couldn't tell if he was angry with the princess-to-be.
But then, he heard the lord saying: "Then let go of all the women in the backyard."
