As the two were talking, they saw Zhizhu coming in from outside. "Miss, the second miss is looking for you."
Why is Su Yueyue here at this time?
Su Mingyu frowned. "Xia Mian, go hide in the inner room first."
Xia Mian nodded and quickly followed Zhizhu in.
Su Yueyue ignored the maids at the door and barged directly into the yard. After looking around, she said coldly, "I heard someone was looking for you at the door. Why can't I see that person?"
Su Mingyu took a sip of tea casually, then looked up at her and retorted, "If I have a guest in the yard, how did you know, sister? Did you send someone to keep an eye on me?"
Confronted like this, Su Yueyue gave a soft laugh. "We all live in the same mansion. Is it so hard to know if you have a guest?"
That was true. Su Mingyu raised an eyebrow. "There was indeed a woman who came to thank me for helping her before. But she has already left. If you don't believe me, you can ask the guards."
Su Yueyue gave her a sidelong glance. "I was just asking casually. Why are you so serious, sister?"
"Really?" Su Mingyu rolled her eyes mentally. It was obvious that Su Yueyue came to pick a fight, but now she said she was just asking casually.
Seeing that Su Mingyu didn't believe her, Su Yueyue didn't stand on ceremony. She sat down directly opposite her. "Actually, I didn't come to ask about that woman today."
"I heard that father called you to his study yesterday and you talked for a long time. Was it about Prince Ruixian?"
Su Mingyu was a bit surprised that Su Yueyue was so well - informed. She nodded without trying to hide it. "I don't know who's been gossiping to father, saying that I've been spending time with Prince Ruixian. So father thinks it's time we set the wedding date."
As she expected.
Su Yueyue tightened the silk handkerchief in her hand and looked at Su Mingyu inquisitively. "In that case, what's your opinion, sister? You and Prince Ruixian are a perfect match. It's really time to set the wedding."
Su Mingyu found it funny to see her being so insincere.
"If I, as the eldest legitimate daughter of the Su family, marry Prince Ruixian, then if you want to marry Prince Yu later, the wedding ceremony won't be as grand as mine. After all, you're just a concubine - born daughter. You won't have much dowry if you're not a princess. Will you be able to hold your head up in Prince Yu's mansion then?"
As she said this, Su Mingyu deliberately sized Su Yueyue up and down, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.
Su Yueyue's face darkened. Not to mention that she and Prince Yu had been together for so long, but Prince Yu had never proposed marriage to the Su mansion. Even if he did, with her current status, it would be very difficult for her to be Prince Yu's princess.
Although she and Wang Manwen had managed to suppress the rumors about what happened in Lin Jun's mansion, there were still many gossips. And the news that she had been cheated out of a large sum of money had also spread. Now she was like a laughingstock among the young ladies in the capital, with a very bad reputation. If Consort Ning found out what she had done, with Consort Ning's proud nature, she would never allow her to marry Prince Yu.
So she had to find a way to marry Prince Yu before Su Mingyu. But Prince Yu just refused to propose.
Last time, just when her plan was about to succeed, Su Mingyu had come in and disrupted it. Now, if she wanted to speed up the process with Prince Yu, she had to try that kind of trick again.
Seeing Su Yueyue's bad complexion, Su Mingyu sneered. "Is this what you came to talk to me about? If so, I think our conversation can end."
Saying that, Su Mingyu was about to get up. Su Yueyue quickly called out to her. "Sister... We're sisters. You don't have to be so cold to me, do you?"
Su Mingyu looked down at her with a half - smile. "So you still remember we're sisters. Think about what you said to me in prison. Which word showed that you cared about our sisterhood?"
This made Su Yueyue lower her head.
"Sister, that was in prison. I was just too scared and spoke without thinking. Please don't take it to heart."
Hearing her weak excuse, Su Mingyu was too lazy to bother with her and got up to leave. "Forget it. I don't want to dwell on that anymore. There's nothing else to say between us today."
"Wait..." Su Yueyue called out to Su Mingyu. "I have one last question. After that, I won't bother you anymore."
Su Mingyu looked back at her impatiently. "What else do you want to ask?"
Su Yueyue bit her lip, looking a bit hesitant. But finally she gritted her teeth and asked, "If you really are going to marry Prince Ruixian, can you tell me if you've set a definite date?"
So she just wanted to know how much time she had before Su Mingyu's wedding.
Su Mingyu narrowed her eyes and smiled like a fox. "I don't know about that. When Prince Ruixian comes to propose is up to him. I can't decide. Do you want me, a girl, to bring it up first?"
"Of course not." Su Yueyue waved her hand. "I just thought that if I knew your wedding date, I could prepare a wedding gift for you in advance."
A gift? More like a big trap.
Su Mingyu knew exactly what kind of person Su Yueyue was, so she didn't take the bait. "There's no need for a gift. As long as you don't cause me any trouble, it'll be a blessing for Prince Ruixian and me on our wedding day."
Seeing that Su Mingyu really didn't want to tell her, Su Yueyue had to get up and leave.
When she was about to walk out of the gate of Su Mingyu's yard, Su Yueyue looked back at Su Mingyu and said in a very sincere voice, "Actually, I've never wanted to harm you. I was just a bit jealous because father is so good to you."
Su Mingyu rolled her eyes mentally. At this time, Su Yueyue was still trying to play the emotional card. She wasn't the naive Su Mingyu anymore. How could she be deceived?
Su Mingyu hooked her lips into a smile. "I've never hated you either. I was just a bit jealous because Second Aunt dotes on you so much."
Su Yueyue stopped in her tracks. She seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end, she left dejectedly without saying a word.
