Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game

Chapter 55 Good Marriage

Her words were full of indignation and resentment.

Qiuxiang's face turned pale in an instant, and she hastily explained: "Yun'er, you misunderstood. I just saw the ginseng soup lying there alone, and I was worried that it would get cold, so I brought it over. Madam is weak right now and needs to rest. If you are angry, just come to me, and don't disturb Madam's sweet dream."

After she finished speaking, a barely perceptible pleading flashed in her eyes.

Yun'er's anger was like a ignited flame, with raging rage burning in his eyes, shooting straight at Qiuxiang.

Su Rao frowned slightly, her beautiful eyebrows twisted into a small knot. Although her voice was soft, it carried a hint of imperceptible fatigue. She said these three words slowly: "It's really noisy."

These words were like a gust of cold wind blowing through Yun'er's heart. Her face instantly lost its color and became pale and dull.

During the days when they worked together, although the two served different masters, they got along well.

The masters who passed by always came and went in a hurry, never leaving a deep impression on them, nor sowing the seeds of discontent between them.

Now, Su Rao has become the focus because of her favor, and Qiuxiang is like a cheetah that smells an opportunity. She wants to climb up the ladder at all costs, even at the expense of others and stepping down others to elevate herself.

Yun'er was no stranger to this kind of intrigue, but every time she witnessed it with her own eyes, the unwillingness and helplessness in her heart became more and more unbearable.

She understood that no matter how devoted she was or how loyal she was, in this game of power, she could never withstand a few sweet words of flattery.

Su Rao's words fell gently, with dignity in her calmness: "It is enough to have me to serve you."

These words were like a heavy hammer hitting Yun'er's heart, making her extremely anxious. She almost shouted, "Madam!"

On the side, Qiuxiang had a fake smile on her face. It was a rigid smile. She deliberately grabbed Yun'er's hand and said with a fake reproach in her tone: "Madam is already complaining about the noise, why don't you be quiet?"

Su Rao's eyes were deep, and she spoke slowly: "Since Qiuxiang is so capable, why don't you go to the princess's courtyard to serve. Yun'er, you stay."

As soon as these words were spoken, the fake smile on Qiuxiang's face froze.

Su Rao's mind is as clear as a mirror, and she can clearly distinguish between sincerity and hypocrisy.

She prefers servants who are both close to her and loyal, and she has her own plans for people like Qiuxiang who have complicated minds.

Introducing Qiuxiang to his sister for "training" not only solved the problem, but also gave his sister a chance to show off her skills, which was really killing two birds with one stone.

In this royal palace, your status often depends on who you follow.

Qiuxiang would not be willing to accept such an arrangement, but before she could finish her words, she was blocked by Su Rao's cold eyes: "Do you want the princess to come and invite you personally?"

A look of unwillingness flashed across Qiuxiang's face, but she finally turned around and left in disappointment.

Yun'er's eyes were red, and she looked at Su Rao with gratitude, her voice choking a little: "Madam..."

Su Rao smiled gently, recalling the time when she first entered the palace: "When I first entered the palace, you helped me comb my hair. I have never forgotten your kindness. Go and do your thing, don't worry about me."

Yun'er nodded heavily, determined in her heart, and vowed to live up to Su Rao's trust. She picked up the bowl of warm ginseng soup and slowly left the room.

After a short rest, Su Rao set out on the journey to the princess's residence.

In that solemn and dignified palace, Su Yi was waiting for her, and his words revealed everything that happened in the palace.

"Rao'er, how have you been these days?" Su Yi asked with concern.

Su Rao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled with the shyness that is unique to young girls. Then she gently rubbed her waist, looking as if she meant something.

Su Yi's face suddenly turned red, half shy and half curious: "I... I really can't imagine the prince like that..."

In Su Yi's memory, Prince Yi seemed to be insulated from worldly desires.

How could such a cold and aloof existence make the fourth sister so unable to control her emotions?

Su Rao raised the corners of her mouth, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes: "Sister, are you curious?"

Su Yi's face became even more rosy like a ripe cherry. She pretended to be angry, half-raised her pink fist, pretending to tap Su Rao's shoulder, but a hint of shyness and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"I really don't have that kind of feelings for the prince."

As she spoke, she avoided his gaze deliberately.

"Oh? Then who is Sister thinking about?"

Su Rao smiled slyly and leaned forward, her eyes full of curiosity and inquiry, as if she wanted to catch a clue from the subtle changes in her sister's expression.

Su Yi's cheeks seemed to be dyed by the sunset, and the temperature was so high that it could evaporate the surrounding air.

"You, stop messing around." She scolded softly, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings. The unspoken emotions were entangled in her heart like a thin thread.

"Could it be... Yu..." Su Rao deliberately dragged out the last syllable, her eyes flashing with a playful light, as if she wanted to see through her sister's thoughts.

When Su Yi heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly stretched out his soft hand to gently cover Su Rao's mouth.

"Rao'er, don't mention him anymore, okay?"

Her voice was low and pleading, as if she was begging.

That night, the moonlight was cold and her silence after breaking the promise completely covered up their once warm memories. From then on, their worlds no longer intersected.

Seeing her sister's gloomy expression, Su Rao quickly changed the subject, trying to soothe the wound that had not yet fully healed.

"Sister, life always has twists and turns. Maybe fate will arrange for us to meet again."

Her words were gentle and hopeful, but she was unaware of the pain in her heart, and she also felt a sense of injustice for her sister.

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"This... I dare not hope for it. I am already a married woman, and he, such an excellent man, will definitely have a good match."

Although he said this, his chest felt as if it was pricked by a needle and was aching slightly.

Changing the topic, Su Yi mentioned the trivial matters of recent days, trying to use them to dilute the bitterness in his heart.

"Rao'er, I have asked the maid named Qiuxiang to be responsible for cleaning the toilet."

When she mentioned this, the corners of her mouth curved up slightly.

"Qiuxiang is usually the most slippery person. Letting her do this hard work will just temper her temper. Her fawning look always reminds me of those people in the Su Mansion who treated us mother and daughter coldly in the past. Thanks to you, I am no longer isolated and helpless." Su Rao's tone was firm.

After hearing this, Su Yi smiled. She felt that she could still play a positive role in this family and bring changes to the people she cared about.

However, the sails of my thoughts were soon disrupted by a sudden wave of worry.

"By the way, there seems to be some problems with Su Wan."

Su Yi frowned slightly, and his words revealed a worry that was hard to ignore.
