Chapter 326: It Will Be Fine
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying came to the door and gave it a pull. True to her suspicion, the door had been locked from the outside!
Just as she was about to jump out of the window, Su Ying felt a strong wave of dizziness so overwhelming that she couldn’t even stand properly.
Su Ying felt everything going black before her eyes and she lost consciousness.
Not long after Su Ying passed out, the door was pushed open. It was the maidservant who had led Su Ying and Ling here.
The maidservant walked up to Su Ying and reached out to give her a push. After making sure that she didn’t move, she picked Ling up and placed her on a chair at the side. She then dragged Su Ying to the bed and lit the incense burner she had brought in earlier. Following that, she closed the door and left.
Not long after the maidservant left, Xiao Jue walked out from the shadows. He had followed Su Ying when she left the banquet hall with Ling in her arms. He had been hiding in the shadows the whole time. When he sensed something was amiss, he hid in the guest room next door.
After seeing the maidservant leave sneakily, he came to Su Ying’s guest room, pushed open the door, and walked in.
As soon as he entered, he smelled something unusual about the scent of the incense. The concubines in his residence had used this method on him many times.
Xiao Jue held his breath and walked to the bed, only to see Su Ying lying there.
Xiao Jue’s heart skipped a beat. The most primitive desire in his body was stimulated at this moment. This was a woman he once hated the most, a woman whom he wouldn’t even give a second glance even though she couldn’t wait to strip herself naked to lie on his bed. However, at this moment, he couldn’t wait to swallow her alive!
Xiao Jue couldn’t wait to reach out with his hand to caress Su Ying, but just as he raised his hand, a series of footsteps rang out from the door.
Xiao Jue quickly came back to his senses and hid behind the door.
Not long after that, the door was pushed open and a man with a vulgar appearance walked in.
He walked over to the bed with a lewd smile on his face. When he saw Su Ying, he couldn’t help laughing out loud outrageously.
“Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! So this is the Princess Consort Qi that makes people tremble in fear. Hehe! Isn’t she still in my hands now?”
The man was about to reach out with his hand when Xiao Jue covered his mouth. He gave a twist with his hand and the man’s neck was broken.
The dead man was thrown under the bed with his eyes wide open.
Xiao Jue knew that this was Little Madam Jiang’s trick to deal with Su Ying. Now, he was planning to beat her at her own game!
Xiao Jue impatiently took off his outer robe and pounced on Su Ying.
Meanwhile, the banquet was in full swing.
Little Madam Jiang’s thoughtful greeting made everyone very pleased.
“Strange. Why hasn’t Princess Consort Qi returned yet?”
Some of the guests noticed that Su Ying hadn’t appeared since she carried Ling away. They couldn’t help but wonder why it took so long to change the child’s clothes.
“Perhaps Her Highness doesn’t like this kind of occasion. In a while, when everyone goes to the stage at the back to listen to the opera, 1 will send someone to check.”
The guests didn’t say anything else after hearing what Little Madam Jiang said. They had nothing to say to Su Ying anyway, and they wanted even less to build a relationship with her.
Everyone walked towards the opera stage. Beside the stage was the male guests’ section separated by a screen.
Although Su Ying was difficult to approach, there were still many people who wanted to get close to Xiao Jin!
Therefore, when the young ladies arrived at the stage, they were a little absent-minded. From time to time, they would look in the direction of the male guests’ section.
The troupe quickly arrived on the stage, but before they could start singing, a maidservant ran over in a hurry.
When she saw the maidservant, a strange smile appeared on Little Madam Jiang’s face. However, when the maidservant ran up to her and explained why she was here, Little Madam Jiang’s expression changed slightly.
Although she had tried her best to control her facial expression, the noble ladies who were close to her still noticed the change in her expression.
“Mrs. Prime Minister, did something happen?”
Little Madam Jiang quickly came back to her senses and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that a maidservant broke something in the rear courtyard. 1’11 go take a look. Whichever opera you wish to listen to, you can just tell the maidservant.”
Little Madam Jiang followed the maidservant out and her face clouded over. “What’s going on? Just now, you were still following the Second Young Miss. How could she disappear just like that?”
Earlier, when she arrived at the stage, Su Yuyan felt that her clothes were tainted by the smell of food, which she didn’t like, so she left with the maidservant to change her clothes. However, after Su Yuyan entered the room, she didn’t come out for a long time. The maidservant felt that something was wrong, so she pushed open the door and went in, only to find that Su Yuyan was gone.
The maidservant was worried that something had happened, so she immediately came to explain the situation to Little Madam Jiang.
Little Madam Jiang thought of today’s plan and was worried that there might be changes, so she immediately sent people to locate Su Yuyan’s whereabouts.
She was also in no mood to deal with the guests in the hall, so she followed the maidservant to search the residence.
However, after searching for a while, they still couldn’t find Su Yuyan. A sense of foreboding rose in Little Madam Jiang’s heart. After sending her maidservants away, she headed in the direction of the guest room.
As Little Madam Jiang walked towards the guest room, Su Yuyan, who had changed her clothes, returned to the stage.
“Second Young Miss is finally back. Mistress thought that something had happened to you,” the maidservant said in a lowered voice when she saw Su Yuyan.
Su Yuyan felt a little puzzled when she heard this. “What could have happened to me? Why is Mother so paranoid?”
When she saw that Su Yuyan was fine, the maidservant let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Su Yuyan’s personal maidservant came up to her and whispered a few words into her ear.
Su Yuyan was a little surprised after hearing the maidservant, but a sinister smile quickly flashed across her face.
So her mother had such a plan today. No wonder she was so paranoid.
“I understand.”
Su Yuyan walked to a chair and sat down, but before her butt could warm up the seat, she saw another maidservant running over in a panic.
“Second Young Miss, bad… bad news.”
Su Yuyan’s eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up and deliberately raised her voice. “What’s wrong? Did something happen to Princess Consort Qi?”
The maidservant also cooperated and raised her voice as well. “I don’t know either. I heard that Her Highness was in the guest room when something… something happened. Second Young Miss, you’d better go take a look quickly.”
When the maidservant said this, everyone present became extremely curious. What could have happened to Su Ying in the guest room?
“Have you told Father about this?”
“I have already sent someone to inform the Prime Minister.”
Su Yuyan nodded and stood up, “1 don’t know what happened to Elder Sister. Don’t worry. 1’11 go over and take a look.”
After Su Yuyan finished speaking, she lifted her dress and left. The other noble ladies looked at each other and thought for a moment before getting up to follow. They were still very happy to see what kind of mishap had befallen Princess Consort Qi!
They stopped watching the opera and followed closely behind Su Yuyan, ready to gawk at the spectacle.
Prime Minister Su also received the news and came over. As it concerned Su Ying, he naturally called Xiao Jin over.
Prime Minister Su had a worried look on his face the entire time, just like a loving father.
He even comforted Xiao Jin throughout the entire process, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. Nothing will happen. I’m sure they’re just making a fuss..”
