Chapter 51: Can’t Be Friends with Su Yu!
Yun Feng was immediately flustered in the wind...
So what did they say? Don’t be friends with people who are too smart, don’t be friends with people who are both too smart and sharp-tongued, and don’t be friends with people who are too smart, sharp-tongued, and can beat you up! For example, people like Su Yu.
Yun Feng thought resentfully, he’s the only one who can be friends with him.
Humph!
Because Su Yu dawdled for so long, by the time they arrived outside Prince Ling Mansion, the sky was already getting light. Across the river in the streets and alleys, the sounds of small vendors’ bustling cries were faintly coming through.
Just then, a carriage hurriedly came from the bridge and stopped at the side door of Prince Ling Mansion.
A man and a woman got down from the carriage. The gatekeeper recognized them, and after hearing what they said, welcomed them inside.
Over here, Han Jing instructed Bo He: "Go, find a few beggars on the street across the way and spread the news, saying that Miss Han Yuxiao from General Han Mansion came early in the morning to Prince Ling Mansion to catch—scandal!"
Bo He stared at their young lady dumbfounded, then quickly nodded.
In no time, people who heard the news and came to see the spectacle stood around in threes and twos near Prince Ling Mansion. Indeed, seeing the carriage from General Han Mansion, they began to whisper among themselves.
At this time, Han Yuxiao and her brother Han Dong made their way unimpeded to Su Xingyan’s courtyard.
The maidservants who served Su Xingyan usually didn’t keep night watch because Su Xingyan was a restrained person who didn’t like people serving too closely. So just now, the maids and servants in his courtyard had just gotten up, and were a bit stunned to suddenly see these two visitors entering the courtyard: "Young Master Han, Miss Han, you’re here so early, is there something urgent? Our Prince has not yet risen..."
The maid had not finished speaking when Han Yuxiao urgently interrupted her: "Please quickly notify him, my brother has an urgent matter for the Prince, if delayed, it will become a big issue."
At this point, Han Yuxiao’s complexion also looked quite bad, with an expression as if something serious was really going to happen, which also scared the little maid. She quickly nodded and went to call for someone at Su Xingyan’s room door.
Late at night, Han Yuxiao was suddenly awakened by someone and saw the letter that had been sent to her room, from her good friend Han Yan. She recognized Han Yan’s handwriting and knew it couldn’t be a mistake. Han Yan had been punished to pray in the ancestral hall, and it wasn’t easy to send the letter, which is why it hadn’t been delivered sooner. She could only convey the matter when everyone in the mansion was asleep. If she couldn’t stop Han Jing from making a scene before it got bigger, then it would be impossible to prevent Han Jing from marrying Su Xingyan!
Knowing this news, how could Han Yuxiao fall asleep? She immediately planned to go to Prince Ling Mansion! However, she wasn’t foolish enough to storm into Prince Ling Mansion in the middle of the night. After some thought, she could only wake up her brother Han Dong. Han Dong was close in age to Su Xingyan, and they had a good relationship. Su Xingyan often came to the Han Mansion, which is also why Han Yuxiao’s heart had early fallen for Su Xingyan! Originally, with her status as the legitimate daughter of the Han Family, she could have been a good match for Su Xingyan. They were just waiting until she came of age to find an opportunity to have someone speak on her behalf in the palace, which would more than likely work out. But she never expected Han Jing to suddenly come in halfway and so simply and crudely snatch away her beloved!
