” Who?” Lin Sisi agilely leaped out of the door, but no one was in sight.
She frowned and returned to the bridal chamber, “Strange, I heard a voice, why isn’t anyone here? Could someone be deliberately ambushing in the Marquis’s Manor?”
“No way! I didn’t hear anything at all?” Su Miaoyan cleverly peeked out and then retreated into the room. She looked innocent.
Su Yingxue smirked. She had heard the voice and knew quite well that today Chu Jinling had come to the Marquis’s Manor under the pretext of conveying a message for Chu Yihan.
He had been frequenting the place lately, probably for that brief moment just now.
However, when she saw Lin Sisi’s reaction, she knew that she did not have to say anything more.
After all, she couldn’t provoke Noble Consort Xiao. Noble Consort Xiao didn’t have any principles, but her bottom line couldn’t be crossed.
Her only bottom line was Chu Jinling.
Su Yingxue had thought that Lin Sisi had come to the Marquis’s Manor to congratulate her on a day off from the military camp, but she didn’t expect her to stay directly in the Marquis’s Manor today. She said it was Chu Yihan’s order.
“Your Highness said, he wants me to personally protect you. Starting tonight until you enter the prince’s mansion tomorrow, I must protect you closely. So tonight, I have to guard outside your door.”
After dinner, Lin Sisi stood outside the door with a nine-ringed saber in her arms.
Su Yingxue smirked, “Is he… asking you to be my door deity?”
Lin Sisi was a senior military officer, assigning her to guard the door seemed a bit of a waste, didn’t it?
She chuckled, “Who else would come to the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor to cause trouble? My grandfather is still in the manor, no one would dare to offend.”
” Who made you mention Wu Dao?” Saint Ruan’s dissatisfied voice came, accompanied by a yawn. “Others aside, this guy is something to watch out for. Even Chu Yihan has to guard against him. Until you enter the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, we all have to keep an eye on you!”
“Keep an eye on?” Su Yingxue furrowed her brow slightly.
“It’s protection! I provide close combat protection, while this old man prevents anyone from using drugs on you or employing any sneaky tactics. After all, this old man has seen and knows many poisons and methods.” Lin Sisi explained.
“Hey, who are you calling an old man!” Saint Ruan protested. His hands were on hips.
Lin Sisi snorted, “Aren’t you? You’re over seventy, calling you an old man is a problem?”
“Even if I’m an old man, I’m a young and handsome one at eighteen, aren’t I tempting enough for you?” Saint Ruan raised his seductive eyes.
“Even if you’re handsome, you’re still an old man. Who would have thoughts about you?”
“Wiry are you looking at me if you don’t have any thoughts?”
With Saint Ruan and Lin Sisi bickering outside, Su Yingxue had no worries about anyone harming her. Plus, Zi Wei was in her room.
In the dim light, Zi Wei leaned quietly against the wall. His eyes with a faint purple hue, illuminating with a glimmer, “I’m watching over you.”
No one could approach her.
Su Yingxue raised her lips slightly. “Good.”
On this peaceful night, she should be able to sleep well.
But she unexpectedly dreamed of someone.
Her mother.
In the dream, her mother’s appearance was more distinct than in the portrait. She was wanton and flamboyant. She was wearing a white gown, and her attire was refreshing and neat like she had never seen before.
She greeted her with a smile, although it was their first meeting in the dream, she looked familiar.
She even gently caressed her face. That warmth that was like a spring breeze made Su Yingxue cry.
