Ye Zhenzhen had picked up some useful skills from Su Xinlan, like reading people’s expressions and speaking directly to the point. “Mother, don’t forget how many times Su Yingxue has schooled you. What if she holds a grudge after becoming the Princess Consort and comes after you again? Then your mouth will have to…”
“D*mnit! I’m her aunt! How dare she!” Su Xinlan was both furious and inwardly alarmed.
Ye Zhenzhen’s words had a ring of truth to them.
Su Xinlan was genuinely worried that Su Yingxue might bear grudges, leading to more trouble in the future.
After much thought, Su Xinlan came up with a daring idea.
Since she feared Su Yingxue’s potential grudges, why not marry Ye Zhenzhen to Chu Yihan as well? Even if Su Yingxue became the primary consort and Ye Zhenzhen the secondary one, they would still both belong to Chu Yihan. Su Xinlan could then teach Ye Zhenzhen how to vie for favor and outshine Su Yingxue, leaving no room for retaliation.
Thus, she made up her mind.
To have Ye Zhenzhen marry the Ninth Prince, Su Xinlan was determined to make Ye Zhenzhen meet the Ninth Prince first.
The next day, Su Xinlan had Ye Zhenzhen dressed up beautifully. She adorned her with all the exquisite jewelry from the Changxin Marquis’s Manor, including pearls, jade, and agate, making Ye Zhenzhen look dazzling.
Ye Zhenzhen usually wore heavy jewelry. Today, she felt her neck was a bit weighed down, making it hard for her to stand.
However, knowing she couldn’t afford to lose face when visiting the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, she ignored the weight on her neck.
Upon arriving at the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, they didn’t mention Marquis Changxin’s Mansion but instead claimed to be from the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, Su Yingxue’s maternal family.
Upon hearing that Su Yingxue’s family had arrived, the guard of the Ninth Prince’s Mansion didn’t dare to be neglectful. He promptly went to welcome them and even sent someone to inform the old steward, who dropped everything and personally greeted them.
When Chu Yihan proposed marriage, he visited the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor and memorized the faces of all the masters there. However, when he saw Su Xinlan and Ye Zhenzhen, he was taken aback.
He had never seen them before.
Despite his doubts, since they claimed to be from Su Yingxue’s family, he didn’t dare to be rude. He invited them into the hall and served them the finest tea and snacks. With a polite smile, he asked, “May I inquire, Madam and Miss, what relation are you to the future Princess Consort? Please inform me so I can notify Your Highness.”
Su Xinlan’s eyes brightened when she heard Chu Yihan’s inquiry. “I’m Yingxue’s aunt, and this is my daughter!”
She gestured towards Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen politely smiled at the steward.
The steward returned the smile, but when he got a clear look at Ye Zhenzhen, his expression froze.
He wanted to ask Ye Zhenzhen if her jewelry wasn’t too heavy.
However, he decided against it, swallowing his doubts and only pondering the relationship between Su Yingxue and her aunt.
As he entertained them, he sought out Mo Qi to inquire whether Your Highness wished to meet them.
When Mo Qi heard about Su Yingxue’s aunt, he was confused. “What brings them here?”
The old steward speculated a bit. “Perhaps the future Princess Consort doesn’t have a good relationship with her aunt’s family?”
“How could that be termed ‘not good’? Miss Su has reprimanded her aunt several times. Her aunt’s daughter… birds of a feather flock together. She’s not a good person!”
“Even so, I must inform Your Highness.”
The old steward considered carefully.
Mo Qi agreed, and he relayed the information to Chu Yihan.
