Shengjing Noble

Chapter 424 Hit it off

Hearing this, Su Lanyin didn't know how to comfort her. She just sighed and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Today I will just pretend that I didn't find anything."

"Thank you!" Chu Yan expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"But what are you going to do next? Right now you and my elder brother are definitely in the top three. If the emperor decides to arrange a marriage for you on a whim, how will you respond?"

"So! I am extremely anxious now. Long before I came here, my father had already been looking for a suitable noblewoman for me. I have always refused, and he couldn't force me. But this time when I get the ranking, I am afraid that there will be more people who come to propose marriage. What should I do then..."

There was a flash of panic in Chu Yan's eyes, and he looked genuinely distressed.

Su Lanyin rolled her eyes and asked with a smile: "How about... I give you an idea?"

"What's the idea?"

"What do you think of my elder brother?"

"Brother Su? He is a good man. It is my great honor to know him!"

When Chu Yan mentioned Su Shengyan, his eyes sparkled with admiration.

Su Lanyin said, "How about using my elder brother to help you avoid disaster?"

"Ah? How to use it?"

"Come closer, I'll tell you..."

She leaned close to Chu Yan's ear and whispered softly.

"What? This... is this really going to work?"

"Of course." Su Lanyin nodded with a smile.

"But he is your elder brother, why are you doing this? Aren't you afraid of ruining his reputation? If so, no woman will be willing to marry him."

"Don't be afraid, and I believe that there will be someone willing to marry him. But before that, I have to help him fend off those bad peach blossoms, and also stop the emperor from granting the marriage."

"Okay then, when do we act?"

"tonight!"

"it is good!"

The two shook hands and hit it off immediately. Just at this moment, Fu Wuyang lifted the curtain and walked in.

Seeing Su Lanyin and Chu Yan holding hands and smiling at each other, he suddenly felt jealous and his face turned cold.

"What are you doing?"

He questioned harshly, strode forward and pulled Su Lanyin into his arms, like an old hen protecting her chicks, staring at Chu Yan fiercely, as if the other party was a monster that would snatch his chicks away.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. We were just chatting." Chu Yan explained hurriedly.

"Is it necessary to hold hands when chatting?" Fu Wuyang narrowed his eyes, his eyes dangerous.

"Uh...this..." Chu Yan was unable to explain for a moment and looked at Su Lanyin for help.

"What are you looking at? If you dare to look at her again, I will dig out your eyes!"

"Uh……"

Chu Yan lowered his head with a look of grievance, like a punching bag.

Su Lanyin pushed Fu Wuyang and said angrily, "Your Highness, why are you so fierce? Look at how scared Brother Chu Yan is, his face has turned pale. He's already injured, can't you be more considerate?"

"What did you call him? Brother Chu Yan?" Fu Wuyang was angry, "Don't forget your current identity!"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but Your Majesty, you don't have to be so fierce, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I haven't settled accounts with you yet. Who allowed you to enter the hunting ground without permission? If something goes wrong, who will be held responsible?"

"Am I okay?"

"So, are you showing off to me?"

"No, no, please calm down, Your Majesty. I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again, okay?"

Su Lanyin pulled his arm and shook it coquettishly.

Fu Wuyang, who had a ferocious look on his face just now, suddenly lost his temper and could no longer hold back the anger on his face. He pursed his lips and squeezed out a sentence: "Stop talking nonsense and go back with me!"

After saying that, he dragged Su Lanyin out. Seeing this, Chu Yan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, take care..."

Unfortunately, Fu Wuyang ignored her. Only Su Lanyin turned around and stuck out her tongue at her, signaling her not to worry.

As soon as they left, Su Shengyan came in with some snacks. Seeing that only Chu Yan was left in the tent, he asked, "Where's Yinyin?"

"Miss Su was taken away by King Xiaoyao."

"Ah? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I think King Xiaoyao likes her very much, so she should be fine."

Su Shengyan smiled and placed the snacks beside the bed with a helpless look on his face.

"you eat."

"As the eldest brother, aren't you worried about her and King Xiaoyao?"

"Is worrying useful? If she didn't like it, why would she let herself be involved with King Xiaoyao? Although I am her eldest brother, I have to respect her choice."

"You knew they were in love?"

"Isn't it obvious enough?"

"It is indeed obvious that this King Xiaoyao regards Miss Su as his own eyeball. If he says that he is not moved, only a fool would not believe it. It's just..."

Chu Yan hesitated to speak, with worry flashing in his eyes.

"Just what?" Su Shengyan was curious.

"However, the other party is King Xiaoyao after all. No matter how powerful Miss Su is, she is just a commoner. Even if she gets the emperor's permission, she can only be a concubine at most."

"If that's the case, I'd rather Yinyin not get married. As her eldest brother, I can support her for the rest of her life."

Chu Yan's eyes flashed with envy: "It's so good to have a brother to support me? It would be great if I had a brother too."

She lowered her eyes and couldn't help but let out a tear.

If she had an elder brother, she could live a safe and carefree life as a girl, without having to carry a lot of lies, bear huge pressure, risk bringing trouble to the whole family, and walk on thin ice.

She really envied Su Lanyin... envied her for having such a responsible and capable brother.

"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Su Shengyan looked at her worriedly.

Chu Yan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes without leaving a trace, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I just really want to have a big brother like you."

"Of course."

"what?"

"Why don't we become sworn brothers? From now on, I will be your elder brother and you will be my younger brother, how about that?" Su Shengyan suggested.

"Sworn brotherhood?"

"Well, you don't want to?"

"I do! Of course I do!" Chu Yan nodded excitedly, "Brother Su, how are we going to become sworn brothers?"

"First, we need an incense table, and then we need to kneel down..." Su Shengyan looked at her ankles and said helplessly, "Your legs are not so convenient, so let's wait and see."

"That's true... Oh, by the way! Miss Su just said that my feet would feel much better if I soaked them in hot water more often. There is a hot spring in the back mountain. Brother Su, take me there after dark, okay?"

"Okay, I just want to take a dip."

……

the other side.

Su Lanyin was dragged into the tent by Fu Wuyang.

He didn't treat her well along the way, and if someone didn't know better, they would think she had committed a crime.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

As soon as he sat down, Fu Wuyang started questioning him.

Of course Su Lanyin knew what he was referring to, but she pretended not to understand. She tilted her head in confusion and looked at him innocently with her watery eyes like a little deer.

"What are you going to do? Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Fu Wuyang was so angry that he laughed. He stretched out his hand to pinch her chin and asked coldly, "You thought that if you pretended to be stupid with me, this matter would be over, right?"
