CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 507 SUITABLE

Seeing Su Chong’s expression as if he wanted to die.

The servant’s shoulder almost shook out of socket.

Today, the young master has lost his usual composure, otherwise, he wouldn’t make such a mistake.

It’s unclear whether he’s too nervous or too excited.

It’s just embarrassing himself in front of the future Eldest Young Madam, which made it hard for him to maintain his face.

The servant fell back a dozen steps, allowing himself to laugh heartily.

Speaking of Princess Fu Yun, after returning to the mansion, she went directly back to her courtyard.

Prince Yun went to see Princess Consort Yun, who anxiously asked, "Nothing happened, right?"

With a solemn expression, Prince Yun replied, "If it weren’t for Mr. Su’s vigilance, something really might have happened."

"What happened?" Prince Yun frowned and asked.

Prince Yun truthfully reported to Prince Yun and Princess Consort Yun what Su Chong had told him.

Prince Yun’s face darkened coldly.

"Did Mr. Su say anything?" Princess Consort Yun asked.

"Mr. Su, he...,"

Prince Yun paused and continued, "He said to avoid future incidents, he hopes to marry Fu Yun sooner."

Prince Yun was surprised, "Asking him for help, he’s that diligent and responsible?"

Prince Yun, "...."

Prince Yun looked at Prince Yun with a somewhat complicated expression.

Father and son for so many years, he never realized his father had the potential to be sold out and still count money for others.

Thinking of Fu Yun reaching the age to marry.

Staying in the prince mansion, she might be coveted by others, so it’s better to marry her off early.

With Mr. Su’s protection, there was no fear of her being bullied.

Thinking about this, Prince Yun was most worried about Princess Fu Yun being bullied by Su Chong.

Su Chong rode his horse past the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

The Heir of Marquis Beining was leaning against the window and saw him, then shouted, "Brother Su."

Su Chong looked up, by the window stood Prince NanAn and Chu Shun.

"Brother Su, come up and have a meal with us," Prince Nan An said.

Su Chong thought for a moment, then dismounted and went up to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

After entering the room, Chu Shun looked at him and said, "Brother Su, you seem to be in a bad mood."

"Just roasted a fish, but it turned out too salty," Su Chong said.

Chu Shun, "...."

Could a fish really affect his mood?

"What should I do?" Su Chong asked.

Prince NanAn looked at him, "Drink plenty of water."

"I gave that fish to someone else," Su Chong said.

"Then let them drink plenty of water,"

Su Chong, "...."

Su Chong held his forehead.

Why did he expect the four of them to come up with a way to salvage his image?

Was he really going to tell Princess Fu Yun to drink more water?

Chu Shun looked at him and asked, "Who ate the fish that left Brother Su in such a dilemma?"

"It’s nothing," Su Chong didn’t want to mention such an embarrassing matter.

He looked at Prince Nan An and said, "You all helped Prince Yun’s son sabotage the Heir of Duke Chong’s marriage proposal to Princess Fu Yun, he must hold a grudge."

"Be careful of his revenge."

Prince NanAn was indifferent, "Since we’re helping, are we afraid of his revenge?"

"Don’t let your guard down," Su Chong said.

The Heir of Marquis Beining nodded, "Brother Su is right, better safe than sorry."

Prince NanAn gave the Heir of Marquis Beining a sidelong glance, "I don’t even know who my fiancé is, I don’t believe the Heir of Duke Chong would know."

The Heir of Marquis Beining, "...."

Unable to refute.

Initially, few people knew about Su Chong and Princess Fu Yun’s engagement.

But after today’s event at Qianhe Lake, the news spread like wildfire.

Agarwood Pavilion, inner room.

Su Jin was both happy and annoyed to learn about this.

"It’s such a big deal that my brother got engaged, and no one even told me," Su Jin said.

"Exactly, it’s one thing not to tell others but not even telling the young lady," Xingxing said.

However, Xingxing just complained a little, she was happy, "I never expected the engagement to be with Princess Fu Yun, I guessed Mr. Su would like Princess Fu Yun."

Su Jin looked at her, "Why do you say that?"

"Princess Fu Yun is timid, back then Mr. Su couldn’t find a wife, I thought him snatching Princess Fu Yun was appropriate," Xingxing said.

Such a timid princess, Xingxing thought she could help Mr. Su snatch her.

Su Jin was both amused and helpless.

She thought that Xingxing was saying Princess Fu Yun and her brother were a good match.

It turned out she just liked Princess Fu Yun’s timidity.

How could such a bold person like her brother marry such a timid wife? Isn’t this contrast a bit much?

However, Su Jin was quite fond of Princess Fu Yun.

She was happy to have such a sister-in-law in the future.

Peony Garden.

Upon learning that Princess Fu Yun was going to marry Su Chong, Princess Nanzhang’s expression wasn’t so pleasant.

Previously, Xie Jingchuan was favored by the Empress Dowager, hoping he would marry Princess Shouning.

Now that he didn’t have to marry, Princess Nanzhang was selecting well-bred ladies for Xie Jingchuan.

She thought Princess Fu Yun was good: family background, appearance, and talent were all excellent.

She mentioned it to the Duchess, who said she also approved of it.

Unable to compete with the Duchess, she gave up the idea.

Unexpectedly, it ended up in the hands of the Eldest Son of Duke Chong’s Mansion.

The influence of Prince Yun Mansion is not small.

With Princess Fu Yun marrying Su Chong, it meant Prince Yun Mansion was aligning with Marquis Dongxiang.

Princess Nanzhang was worried about Duke Chong’s Mansion.

Outside, Mrs. Zhao walked in, and the maid said, "Commandery Princess, Mrs. Zhao has returned."

"Why did you take so long to return from JingAn Temple?" Princess Nanzhang asked.

Mrs. Zhao chuckled, "Stopped by Song’s Ice Shop on the way back."

Princess Nanzhang frowned, "Why did you go to Song’s Ice Shop? If the manor’s ice is running low, just send someone to mention it."

Mrs. Zhao said, "The Yongcheng Bo Mansion sent a few hundred ice blocks to JingAn Temple, half of which were to cool down the Old Madam."

"I inquired at Song’s Ice Shop; it was Lady Yongcheng who ordered the delivery."

Princess Nanzhang’s face darkened slightly, "She knows how to curry favor."

"On the way back, I ran into someone from the Heir of Duke Chong. He asked the Commandery Princess for a favor," Mrs. Zhao said.

"What is it?" Princess Nanzhang asked.

Mrs. Zhao bent over and whispered a few words in Princess Nanzhang’s ear.

Princess Nanzhang’s brow furrowed, then she laughed, "It’s a good idea, but he can’t take the lead."

"What does the Commandery Princess mean?" Mrs. Zhao was puzzled.

"Isn’t the Heir of Uncle Yongcheng getting close to Honghong?"

"I want to see if it’s true that whoever crosses her has bad luck," Princess Nanzhang said.

...

Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

Su Chong went to Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and the servant went back to the mansion directly.

Hmm.

Upon returning, the servant rushed to Mrs. Tang to complain about Su Chong.

Not only did he treat Princess Fu Yun as a maid, but he also served her a fish seasoned with salt twice.

Mrs. Tang laughed so hard her cheeks hurt.

After hearing this, Young Master Su got an idea, whispering to Young Master Shen and the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince looked at him, "Is it really okay to do this?"

"Let’s stand up for the future sister-in-law first, then we’ll go to Prince Yun Mansion to find her," Young Master Su said.

Though feeling a bit guilty about conspiring against his own family, the Ninth Prince still eagerly cooperated with Young Master Su’s plan.

Then Su Chong returned—

the pastries were sprinkled with salt.

When he tried to soothe his throat with tea, the tea was even saltier.

As for dinner, needless to say, he suspected the dishes had fallen into a salt jar.

No fool, he knew what had happened.

Having forgotten to remind the servant not to mention the lake outing, he had blurted it all out.

Thinking of his embarrassment—

Su Chong didn’t dare complain, silently eating a bowl of plain rice.

Young Master Su and friends were hiding under the bed.

Seeing this, Young Master Su slapped his forehead, "Forgot to tell the cook to add salt to the rice."

The Ninth Prince looked at him, "That’s your brother."

"Aren’t I helping our sister-in-law?" Young Master Su said.

"You can’t catch the sister-in-law without giving up the brother."

"...."

Young Master Shen looked at him, "Why do you want to win over the sister-in-law?"

Young Master Su propped his chin up and sighed, "You wouldn’t understand, the women in our family are golden treasures, precious rare gems, while men are just cabbages. If I don’t establish good relations with the sister-in-law early, she might not help me when father scolds me."

"Father says one should always be cautious and foresighted."

The Ninth Prince’s mouth twitched.

That’s thinking way too far ahead.

Can he not just consider how not to get beaten?
