Chapter 313: Not Playing Dou Dizhu with Su Yu
He finally understood today what it means for one thing to subdue another!
At first, he thought that Su Yu’s kindness to Han Jing was merely out of gratitude for saving his life, but now it seems that it is not just that. The more you get to know someone, the more you like them, I guess!
Someone like Su Yu, who is stubbornly determined, coincidentally met a bright and lovely woman like Han Jing, and naturally, he would grow to like her more. Fate must work like this, meeting at the right time and being mutually attracted.
Having encountered such an event tonight, everyone indeed lost the mood to continue strolling, so they went to Baihua Garden for tea. Baihua Garden was bustling tonight, with privately booked gardens and Fenghua Pavilion performances scheduled for another day featuring songs, dances, and other programs, always attracting a full house. The performances at Fenghua Pavilion are high-class, attracting many dignitaries, including noble ladies and daughters. They sat down in a reserved elegant room, chatting and watching the performance, which was a rare delight.
It was the first time for Han Jing and An Chuxue to learn that Baihua Garden had such a good recreational place, but the entertainment options were unfortunately limited. Pure song and dance performances are really a bit boring. If it were more like a bar or a card game venue, wouldn’t it be much more fun! The two were munching on seeds and whispering to each other while Yun Feng found it amusing and joined the discussion, eventually resulting in a makeshift set of cards, and the three of them played cards together.
The three of them were playing intensely, completely losing track of time, so much so that Han Jing and An Chuxue, who didn’t want to get up, asked Su Xingqiao, who was leaving, to notify Mu Jin to gather here.
After playing for a while and with An Chuxue’s incredible cheating skills, Han Jing pushed her aside and pulled in Su Yu.
However, they underestimated Su Yu, who had been silent. After losing a few rounds, Han Jing brought in the cheating expert An Chuxue to secretly look at the cards but still ended up losing everything they had won through the night to Su Yu.
In the end, Han Jing left with An Chuxue feeling utterly defeated, swearing she would never play cards with Su Yu ever again while waving goodbye to him.
It was too self-destructive!
When Han Jing and An Chuxue returned to the residence, they unexpectedly found Su Yaogeng in their courtyard.
"Mother, why haven’t you rested yet?" the two couldn’t help but ask.
Su Yaogeng looked at Han Jing: "Today at the palace banquet, Prince An proposed to my brother for the royal marriage of his only daughter, Princess Yanxin."
Han Jing and An Chuxue exchanged a glance and then asked, "Could it be with Su Yu?"
Su Yaogeng wondered, "How did you know?"
Han Jing was speechless and recounted the coincidental encounter with He Yanxin at the lantern festival today.
Upon hearing that He Yanxin had intended to harm Han Jing, Su Yaogeng’s expression turned cold immediately: "Prince An is getting more and more ridiculous, allowing He Yanxin to act recklessly in South City is one thing, but to continue this way in the Capital City is completely out of line!"
Speaking of this, Su Yaogeng was also troubled because the He Family had contributed to the court, having lost three sons in battle, leaving only this father and daughter, so my brother had been particularly indulgent. But now, Prince An is clearly using this as leverage, with a reckless attitude and even a hint of threat!
