Chapter 163 Why Are There Women?
"Miss, you finally come. The lord has been waiting for you for a long time." Guan Huaiyuan hurriedly welcome her with a horsetail whisk on his arm and unexpectedly made a bow.
Su Yi never saw Guan Huaiyuan behave so passionately.
He was the chief servant of Lord Yan with a office title while Su Yi was just a daughter of an official without a title. According to rules, she should make a bow to him.
But she's not surprised since these eunuchs were apple polisher who liked to curry favor with powerful people and disdain the others.
"Well, please show me the way." Su Yi made a bow too.
The Yan mansion was just a temporary house of Mu Shaoling which was not comparable with his mansion in the Jing City, but it was still a brilliant house in the Yong State.
They went across three doors and finally arrive at the yard where Mu Shaoling lived. And Mu Shaoling had already waited in the doorway.
Su Yi made a bow to him, "Wish the best to your highness."
Mu Shaoling stretched his hands to give her a sign to stand up, "My princess, please get up."
Su Yi was embarrassed after hearing his words and murmured: "I haven't married you yet."
And she was too anxious and forgot to use respectful expression. Mu Shaoling looked elated and was in a good mood, "It's sooner or later. We can be familiar with the addresses in advance."
Su Yi was stunned because she never saw such a shameless person before. The lord was afraid that she would be annoyed and changed to another topic, "I heard that you come here to reward me?"
Su Yi raised her jaw, "Before that, I have to if you really dismissed all the women in your yard."
Mu Shaoling smiled, "That's the reason why princess come here today. You want to examine by yourself, right? Then, let me show you around in person so that you can see if there is any other woman."
Su Yi was a little embarrassed before. But since he agreed and encouraged her, she had no reason to hesitate.
"Fine! Maybe your secret lover is hiding in a corner."
Mu Shaoling was confident and had nothing to be afraid, "My heart is too small to contain two people!"
Although Su Yi asserted that she's going to view the mansion, actually she just looked around. Lord Yan saw her looking around carefully and teased her, "Just visit it randomly. Because we will hold our wedding in the Jing City and here is just a temporary house."
Su Yi glared at him and thought this person was really shameless. Mu Shaoling put his hands behind his back, looking at her expression as if looking at a little hedgehog with all its spines pointing upwards. He couldn't help teasing her again, "Are you thinking about marrying me earlier? Then I couldn't agree more!"
This man was really shameless! He didn't even use his honorific title!
Originally, Mu Shaoling took Su Yi around in the yard and saw no one.
Just as he was about to return to the front yard, an exclamation suddenly came from behind the rockery.
"Ah--"
Su Yi stopped her steps and her smile froze on her face. She turned her face to look at Mu Shaoling and felt that she was ridiculous.
Mu Shaoling became serious and angry, "Someone go and find out the ghost behind there!"
Guan Huaiyuan led some bodyguards to take the woman out so that she could testify the lord's innocence.
But when he took the woman out, he found she was a stranger.
The woman was unattractive and was not the type the lord liked. So how did she appear here?
Mu Shaoling didn't intend to inquiry her and said directly: "Someone wants to assassinate me. Take her to the Bingma Agency (a military institution)!"
"Wait!" Su Yi interrupted her.
Mu Shaoling felt sullen and angry. He was about to make her happy. How could the woman mess all things up?!"
He wanted to kill the woman in person but he was afraid that he would scare her.
"Yi, listen to my explanation. I never met the woman before and I don't know how she appeared here."
If she had been an another woman, Su Yi would have pondered the authenticity of his words.
But after she saw the woman's face, she just swore "idiot" in her heart and cleared all her doubts.
"Second Miss Cui, why are you here?" She walked slowly towards Cui Qingyun, looked down on her and asked.
Cui Qingyun was regretted to death. She followed her brother and secretly came into the mansion. She planned to seduce the lord with holding a pot of wine at night.
But the first day she came, she found the lord dismissed all women.
She was unwilling to accept the truth and hid here. She thought she's very likely to succeed since there's only one woman in the mansion.
But she didn't expect that Su Yi would come her to view in person and she didn't expect a mouse would jump into her chest!
"I..." Cui Qingyun lowered her head and failed to explained.
Hearing this, Mu Shaoling turned to Su Yi, "You know her?"
Su Yi responded, "Kind of. She's just an idiot."
Mu Shaoling grew up in the palace since he was a child. What kind of tricks had he never seen with those women? He guessed out the outline of the event.
This woman was probably the one who made her annoyed a few days ago. He would fix the woman for her today!
"Yi, don't be angry. This woman is suspicious. I'd better hand her over to the Bingma Agency to let them interrogate her."
Su Yi agreed. This woman was arrogant and stupid, she dared to say anything. Sooner or later she would cause trouble. She's afraid the woman would involve them in her trouble.
"Fine. Let the officials interrogate her thoroughly."
What was the Bingma Agency? That place was full of criminals who either colluded with the enemies or was corrupt. How could she, a tiny woman, survive there?
Cui Qingyun was immediately frightened and flung herself on the floor in front of Su Yi. She constantly made kowtows to her with loud bump, "Yi, please save me! I'm innocent!"
Su Yi snorted, "If it were yesterday when you said you were innocent, I would believe you. But you can't persuade me today. It's the lord mansion with a lot of confidential things. Who knows what intent you hold by hiding in the corner. Second Miss Cui, go and talk with the officials in the Bingma Agency! If you are innocent, the officials won't spite you."
Cui Qingyun was so frightened that her face turned pale, and Su Yi added, "People must realize their status and ability in their lives. Never overestimate yourself. Sometimes, no matter how long you schemed, all your efforts went down the drain. Because everything you pursue is just fantasy."
Mu Shaoling was not so patient, "Why are you talking to her so much? Let's go. Guan Huaiyuan let people prepare the meal. Let's go and try it to see if it suits your taste?"
Su Yi responded, and without giving her a glimpse, she followed Mu Shaoling and went away.
Only Cui Qingyun was left lying on the ground, full of remorse.
