Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Your Highness has graced me with your presence, and I did not go and greet you. Please pardon me!”

When Su Dingheng heard that Chu Yihan had arrived, he hurried over.

No one knew of Chu Yihan’s temperament. Even the Emperor was afraid of him. No one in the entire Great Cheng Dynasty would provoke him.

He did not know why he had come to the Marquis’s Manor today. Su Dingheng did not even think and wanted to pin this matter on Su Yingxue. “Unfilial daughter, you must have made His Highness unhappy. Hurry up and kneel down and apologize to His Highness!”

Su Yingxue’s gaze turned colder. “I didn’t provoke His Highness. There’s no need to apologize.”

The Ninth Prince Chu Yihan stole her jade pendant! He even dared to wear it in front of her. How detestable!

“Don’t provoke him. He has a lot of the aura of my ginseng descendants!”

The Little Ginseng wailed. Chu Yihan’s entire body smelled of ginseng, and the spiritual energy in his body was so abundant that it made people jealous.

If he had not taken the jade pendant, Su Yingxue would not have wanted to provoke him at all.

“You… If you hadn’t angered the Ninth Prince, why would the Ninth Prince come to the Marquis’s Manor? Kneel down and apologize!” Su Dingheng’s face was livid. He had made up his mind to push Chu Yihan’s blame onto Su Yingxue.

Su Yurou was secretly delighted. Su Yingxue did not care about Chu Chengye’s attitude today, but if she offended Chu Yihan, she would definitely die a horrible death!

Chu Chengye didn’t know why Chu Yihan had come, but he didn’t want to offend this imperial uncle. “I was rude just now, but if Imperial Uncle is offended by Su Yingxue, I will definitely teach Su Yingxue a lesson for you!”

After saying that, he glanced at Su Yingxue disdainfully.

Su Yingxue secretly raised her eyebrows. This group of people really wanted to frame her!

But what was this Ninth Imperial Uncle’s reaction?

Under the sunlight, the man’s slender figure was plated with a layer of golden light, as if a god had descended into the world. His disdainful gaze carried an innate nobility, and his voice was cold and deep. “I was entrusted by Old General Su to visit his granddaughter today.”

Behind him, Mo Qi was holding a pile of tonics. The packaging of the rosewood box revealed how expensive the items inside were.

Su Dingheng heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not here to cause trouble. However, his father only cared about Su Yingxue. Could it be that Chu Yihan was here to see her?

Su Dingheng’s heart trembled. “Your Highness, are you going to give these things to my eldest daughter, Yingxue?”

Su Yurou’s heart also tensed up. Why was the good thing given to Su Yingxue again?

Chu Yihan replied lazily, “No.”

Su Yingxue was speechless.

Her mind was filled with question marks. How could Grandpa ask him to take care of Su Yurou?

Could it be that he was also a subordinate of Su Yurou?

Was he this tasteless?

Su Yingxue looked at Chu Yihan coldly.

However, Su Yurou was exceptionally happy. She thought to herself, that old fart has finally taken her seriously for once. With Chu Yihan visiting her, her status among the young ladies of Jiang Du City has risen to a higher level.

She quickly bowed to thank Chu Yihan. “Your Highness, I’m extremely grateful for your hospitality. Thank you!”

She hurriedly called for Yuan Ruo, the servant girl behind her, “Quickly receive His Highness’s things carefully.”

Yuan Ruo walked towards Mo Qi, but before he could get close, Chu Yihan’s cold voice rang out, “When did I say that it was for you?”

His voice was so intimidating that Su Yurou’s body trembled involuntarily, and her mind was filled with confusion.

Her father only had two daughters, Su Yingxue and her. If it wasn’t for Su Yingxue, then why wasn’t it for her?

Chu Chengye saw the weakness in Su Yurou’s eyes and felt pity for her. “Imperial Uncle, if it’s not for Su Yingxue, why isn’t it for Yurou? Yurou is dignified and proper, a hundred times better than Su Yingxue. Old General Su would definitely dote on her more.”

Su Dingheng was also confused. He did not know what Chu Yihan was doing.

Everyone’s hearts were on edge because of Chu Yihan. He then looked at Su Dingheng and said, “My gift is for the Marquis’s only first daughter. The Marquis only has one legally wed wife, and those children all have the status due to the legitimate wife. As for those who don’t have a title, they aren’t worthy of being Old General Su’s granddaughter!”

“Pfft! Hahaha!” Little Ginseng rolled around laughing. “How mean!”

Su Yingxue nodded. He was indeed quite mean!

Su Yurou’s small face was burning red. Chu Yihan’s things were not for her, and he even called her a bastard and unworthy of being Grandfather’s granddaughter!

She almost cried!

Chu Chengye wanted to speak up for her, but when he met Chu Yihan’s eyes, he was shocked by the bloodlust in his eyes.

Mo Qi handed the things to Su Yingxue, “Miss Su, this is the best ginseng, red ginseng, purple ginseng. If you still lack them, you can just inform the Prince’s mansion.”

Mo Qi intentionally glanced at Su Dingheng and Su Dingheng lowered his head guiltily.

His face was burning red!

This was clearly mocking him for snatching Su Yingxue’s ginseng previously!

Su Yingxue took the things and said indifferently, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Everyone was in awe of Chu Yihan, but she looked at him coldly.

Chu Yihan raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest in his eyes.

Su Dingheng sent Chu Yihan, the great Buddha, away. Chu Chengye also left with a dark expression. Su Yurou felt humiliated and started crying in the house.

Su Yingxue threw the things back into the courtyard and climbed into Chu Yihan’s carriage.

Chu Yihan was resting in the carriage with his eyes closed. Su Yingxue jumped into the carriage and reached for his waist. She was as fast as lightning.

“Hiss…”

Su Yingxue frowned in pain.” Your Highness, return the jade pendant to me!”

“This jade pendant is mine. Why should I return it to you?” Chu Yihan opened his eyes lazily with a hint of flirtatiousness in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, completely different from the dignified and solemn look he had in the Marquis’s Manor. It was as if he was deliberately seducing.

Su Yingxue gritted her teeth. She really wanted to blurt out that she had never seen such a shameless person!

She pointed at the jade pendant on Chu Yihan’s waist. “This jade pendant was left behind by my mother. My name is engraved on it. Your Highness took it from me. Please return it to me.”

Chu Yihan held the jade pendant in his hand. There was indeed the word “Xue” on it, but this did not stop him from saying, “The jade pendant is mine.”

“You…”

Since explaining did not work, Su Yingxue could only snatch it!

However, even if she had the strength and was fast enough, she was still nothing in front of Chu Yihan.

Chu Yihan clasped her hands behind her back and pulled her into his embrace. Su Yingxue crashed into his chest.

It was hard!

The back of Su Yingxue’s head hurt from the impact!

The closer she got, the more she could smell the man’s light fragrance.

The Little Ginseng could also smell the old wounds on Chu Yihan’s body.

Su Yingxue sneered. “Your Highness’s old injuries are serious. You need to make a medicinal soup with cork tree bark, amber, and pangolin.”

Chu Yihan raised his eyebrows slightly. “You know medicine?”

Su Yingxue’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Your Highness doesn’t believe me?”

“I believe you.” Chu Yihan’s smile revealed a hint of evil.

Su Yingxue’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She jumped out of the carriage with a cold expression. “You’re sick!”

If he dared to believe anything she said, then she could not be blamed for being unkind!

Who asked him to snatch her jade pendant?
