Chapter 162 I Want to Reward Him
An Yi goggled. "Was he the lord he knew before?" He thought.
He just let so many beauties in the backyard go?
The lord loved beauties. Although he didn't indulge in sexual pleasures, he always said that it's a kind of taste for men to have a beauty accompany them when they were working hard.
And now he decided to dismiss them because of Miss Su, which would broke those women's hearts if they knew the fact.
Mu Shaoling raised his head in confusion because he failed to get a response, "What's wrong? Do you disagree with my decision?"
An Yi felt thrilled and immediately made a boxing ceremony: "I don't dare to do so!"
"Then don't you go and handle it?" Mu Shaoling said in a bad tone, which was a sign that his patience had strained to a breaking point.
An Yi quickly responded and conveyed the lord's command to Guan Huaiyuan who was a personal servant of the lord.
Guan Huaiyuan was responsible for the regulation of Mu Shaoling's backyard. Hearing the command, he was as surprised as An Yi. At the same time, he had already attached great importance to the princess-to-be.
Not to mention her identity, everyone could see her status in the Yan mansion merely from what Lord Yan did for her.
Su Yi didn't know this. She was still angry and was wandering back and forth in the room.
"This one! This one! And that one! Put all of them away! I don't want to see anything related with Mu Shaoling! I'm so angry!"
All servants in the room knew she was in bad temper now and no one dared to stop her.
Xia He put all things away as she commanded and gave her a cup of hot tea, "Miss, drink some tea and let it all out. I think it's all that Miss Cui's fault! She provoked you and you don't need to vent anger on these precious items."
Su Yi held the cup and took a big sip and continued,"I didn't vent anger on the items. Can't you tell? I am venting anger on Mu Shaoling!"
Xia He grew up with her since childhood, and knew her temperament all too well, knowing that she was splitting hair again.
At this time, she could only agree with her instead of retorting her, "Yes, yes, you are right. Please calm down. Anger is harmful to your health."
Su Yi looked at the box of good things in front of her. In just one month, Mu Shaoling actually delivered so many good things.
There was jewelry for women and there were novelties which kids loved.
What surprised her most was that there was a swordsmanship rare book.
She wasn't willing to marry to a loyal family because she hated the superfluous formalities. Those girl from loyal families took small steps as if they measured the length of each step with a rule. During the process, the accessories on their heads didn't move a little. And their smiles were the same as the women on the picture.
The thought of living in that way made her feel suffocated.
She didn't expect that Mu Shaoling would send her a swordsmanship rare book. Did that mean he allowed herself to be herself?
Because of this, she greatly changed her perspective to Mu Shaoling and gradually accepted the engagement.
As she was waiting for the wedding day, someone popped out and told her that the lord was noble and he wouldn't only have a woman and what she dreamed of was just a dream.
She felt greatly disappointed and angry. But she knew the reason why she felt angry was that some voice inside her confirmed what the woman said was right and she held too naive fantasy before.
In the future there would be other women who shared her husband. Not all men in the world could do what her father did, who spent his whole life with her mother's memorial tablet.
She stayed at home all day long and swallowed her sullen mood. The next day there came new news.
A maid hurriedly came close to Xia He and whispered to her. Xia He was stunned and nodded to show her understanding.
After Su Yi finished her swordsmanship practice, Xia He headed forward and talked to her,"Miss, someone from the Yan mansion sent a message."
Su Yi was annoyed as soon as she heard the name of "the Yan mansion". She waved her hand and interrupted her, "Stop, I don't want to hear anything about him. Don't tell me!"
Xia He knew the reason of her resistance. She smiled and said: "It's good news. You really don't want to hear it?"
Su Yi passed the sword on her hands to her, "Oh? What good news?"
After hearing her question, Xia He was happy, "It's really good news. You must feel happy after you know it."
"Say it quickly!"
"Lord Yan dismissed all women in his backyard. All those women were sent away by carriage in the morning. Even if they were all crying, Lord Yan didn't regret. Now, I'm afraid that the news has spread in the whole city of Yong State."
Su Yi's eyes lit up, "Is this true?!"
"How dare I lie to you? What's more, it will at most take half a day for everyone to know about it. You can ask someone at random."
Su Yi was happy. Her temper came and went quickly.
She didn't know how he knew that she minded about this, but at least he's willing to change himself for her.
No matter what kind of consideration he was out of, at least now he made it clear that he wanted to please her.
To be frank, he was the elder son of the emperor. As a miss in the General mansion, although she was proud and arrogant, she didn't dare to refuse the engagement due to his status and power.
Now that he's willing to humor her, there's no need for her to mess with him for something that hadn't happened yet. Otherwise, she would be too capricious and ungrateful.
 "Fine. You send a formal letter to the Yan mansion which reads I'm going to pay a visit and reward the lord!"
Mu Shaoling accepted the letter and heard the message she commanded someone to convey. He felt it interesting and funny, "She said she's going to reward me?"
"Yes, that's what Miss Su said." An Yi felt the lord was different from the one before. The feeling was stronger especially after he saw his smile.
"Pass on a message which says I'm waiting for Miss Su's visit."
It was about three p.m. when Su Yi came. As soon as she got in the house, Guan Huaiyuan asked someone to tell the cooks in the kitchen to prepare the meal.
When the chef in the kitchen heard that the princess-to-be was coming, he could not wait to take out all the secret skills he had, so that she could eat happily.
After all, she may take charge of most of the internal affairs in the future. If the meal did not suit her taste, she may dismiss him. If so, where else could he find such a good job?
From the moment Su Yi entered the gate of the Yan mansion, she calmed down and felt she's out of line. There's no way that the lord needed her reward. Whether he treated her well or not, she could only bear it.
