“Rou’er! This is your sister’s intention. How can you refuse it like this?” Su Dingheng spoke up.
Su Yurou was taken aback. Her father rarely sided with Su Yingxue. He had always favored her!
Su Yingxue’s lips curved into a cold, mocking smile. Su Dingheng had been fixedly studying her face. It seemed he was recalling her mother.
Su Yingxue decided to follow his gaze and continue her act.
She feigned a somewhat aggrieved expression. “Younger Sister received a reward from the empress, so she no longer values what her sister has made. But I thought that since the three of us rarely attend banquets together and it was the empress’s birthday, 1 made a few sachets hoping that it would show our family in a harmonious light to outsiders. However, since Younger Sister doesn’t appreciate it… Well, then let’s forget about it.”
Su Yingxue said with a saddened look.
She looked exactly like her mother!
Su Dingheng’s heart sank.
Su Hao’s gaze towards Su Yurou turned colder. “Since you don’t care about your family, it’s fine if my sister and I skip the banquet today. You can go alone!”
Su Hao had never been warm towards Su Yurou. Now that he had spoken, Su Yurou was in a panic.
“What are you saying, brother? It’s just a sachet. How can you be so angry over it? Plus, there’s an important matter related to you at today’s banquet! How can you not attend?” Su Yurou appeared weak on the surface but felt quite repulsed inside.
In the past, Su Hao had not been eloquent, rarely speaking. However, after spending time with Su Yingxue, his words now carried a sharp edge, leaving her no room for retreat!
Considering Su Hao’s status, Su Dingheng reminded Su Yurou, “Rou’er, it’s just a sachet. You should wear it! The sachet looks exquisite. I believe it will add to your charm.”
Su Dingheng had said so, and Su Yurou had no reason to refuse.
She clenched her teeth, put away the sachet, and tied it around her waist. Then, she thanked Su Yingxue with a forced smile, “Thank you, sister, for your kind gesture.”
Su Yingxue smiled knowingly when she saw her wear it. “Sister, no need to be so formal. After all, we’re family.”
“Family?” Su Yurou’s eyes were filled with doubt.
Suddenly, she wasn’t in a hurry to enter the palace. She wanted to pry open Su Yingxue’s mind and see if something was amiss with her!
How could those words possibly come from her?
The two of them were incompatible like oil and water!
With doubt in her mind, Su Yurou boarded the carriage. The Marquis’s Manor was not a small household, so it was impossible for the three young masters and young misses to squeeze into a single carriage to enter the palace.
Su Yingxue and Su Hao took one carriage in the front, while Su Yurou rode alone in the carriage behind them.
As Su Yurou watched Su Yingxue and Su Hao board their carriage, her mind was filled with question marks.
Today, something had to be wrong with Su Yingxue!
Yuan Ruo noticed her frown and asked, “What is Miss still worried about? Your plan went unnoticed by the Eldest Young Master and the Eldest Young Miss! The Eldest Young Master is usually quite aloof. Today, he had no choice but to enter the palace obediently. Once the empress announces his marriage to Miss Wu, the two siblings won’t be able to change it, no matter how reluctant they are!”
Yuan Ruo said a lot to lift Su Yurou’s spirits.
However, Su Yurou’s brows remained tightly furrowed. She couldn’t help but wonder what scheme Su Yingxue and Su Hao were playing.
Su Hao being summoned to the palace was no ordinary matter. Even if he were foolish, he could probably guess that Wu Ruofei would also attend the empress’s birthday banquet today..
