"If you want to help me, just find out who the father of her prince is. There's no need to investigate her hometown, right?"
This Leng Ziyue was quite perceptive.
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "Actually, when we were investigating the person who poisoned Gu Ruobai, we traced the matter back to Concubine Chen."
"Our people found that Concubine Chen would visit Shi Minglong on unspecified days. We want to know why she visits him and what their relationship is."
"Shi Minglong?" Leng Ziyue frowned and thought for a while. "Is he that vice - minister?"
Su Mingyu nodded. "Do you know him?"
"I've heard of him." Leng Ziyue frowned even tighter. "But I've been by Concubine Chen's side for so long, and I've never seen them interact."
After hearing this, Su Mingyu also frowned. "A relationship that even you don't know about? This Concubine Chen is really good at hiding things."
As she said this, Su Mingyu suddenly looked at Leng Ziyue. "Mr. Leng, I promised you before that I would expose Concubine Chen within ten days. But now it seems that it may take a bit more time. Not only was our plan disrupted by Su Yueyue's wedding banquet, but this matter is also of great significance."
Leng Ziyue looked down at Su Mingyu. His cold, black eyes showed little emotion.
Just when Su Mingyu thought that Leng Ziyue, with his self - willed nature, would surely refuse, unexpectedly, Leng Ziyue nodded. "Okay. I'll give you this chance."
Su Mingyu looked up, her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at Leng Ziyue. "Thank you, Mr. Leng."
Gu Ruobai was standing beside them, seemingly not worried at all that Su Mingyu wouldn't be able to persuade Leng Ziyue.
Gu Ruobai's attitude might seem cold to others.
But in Su Mingyu's eyes, it was proof that he trusted her.
This made Su Mingyu feel warm.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other as if sparks were about to fly, Leng Ziyue quietly slipped away.
Su Mingyu got a good boost of energy from Gu Ruobai and then busied herself until the day of Su Yueyue's grand wedding.
Finally, this day arrived. Su Mingyu watched from afar as the wedding sedan came to pick up Su Yueyue. Only then did she let out a long breath.
It was an eight - sedan chair wedding. Although Su Yueyue wasn't being married as the main wife, such treatment was obviously very enviable.
So as Su Mingyu walked alongside the sedan, she heard many envious or sour remarks.
Through the sedan curtain, Su Mingyu saw Su Yueyue curl the corner of her mouth. She couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
What was there to be happy about in such petty verbal disputes? It was just a matter of getting married with a bit of face. But how her future life would be was still uncertain.
When Su Mingyu finally followed the crowd to the Prince Yu's Mansion, she noticed that the decoration of the Prince Yu's Mansion was much more luxurious than her own mansion. It was obvious that a great deal of money had been spent.
The onlookers gasped in amazement when they saw the scene inside the Prince Yu's Mansion.
The decoration was comparable to that of a main wife. It seemed that the Prince Yu didn't dislike Su Yueyue as the rumors said.
He had clearly given Su Yueyue enough face. A concubine was given all the ceremonies of a main wife. It was extremely enviable.
Sitting in the sedan, Su Yueyue heard the people's discussions and was clearly very proud.
If the rules hadn't prohibited it, she would have lifted the wedding veil to take a look at the scene inside the Prince Yu's Mansion.
Finally, much to everyone's anticipation, the Prince Yu walked out of the crowd.
Today, he was dressed in a red robe, which made his figure even more upright.
Su Mingyu bowed to the Prince Yu from afar and then retreated into the crowd.
The rest of the things were no longer her concern.
The wedding banquet went by quickly. Everyone watched with great interest. When the two finally completed the wedding ceremony, someone started to clap, and soon the whole Prince Yu's Mansion was filled with applause. Su Mingyu stood in the crowd, showing little emotion.
At this moment, she suddenly felt her hand being grasped by a warm hand.
Su Mingyu looked back and saw that it was Gu Ruobai.
"Why aren't you sitting in the front? Why did you come here?"
Su Mingyu was a bit surprised, but she didn't let go of Gu Ruobai's hand.
Gu Ruobai remained as calm as ever. "I saw that you didn't come for a long time, so I came to look for you."
Knowing that he was worried about her, Su Mingyu felt warm inside. "I'm fine."
Gu Ruobai gave a soft grunt and didn't let go of her hand either.
The two of them watched from afar as Su Yueyue was sent back to the bridal chamber by the crowd, and then the Prince Yu came out to drink with everyone.
Su Mingyu didn't really like such occasions, but due to her previous good - sister persona, she couldn't leave. In the end, she and Gu Ruobai didn't leave until the banquet was over.
Someone urged Su Mingyu to go to the bridal chamber to create a ruckus, but Su Mingyu just waved her hand, saying that she was very tired from helping Su Yueyue prepare for the wedding banquet these days and wanted to go back and rest.
Gu Ruobai naturally took this opportunity to say that he would send Su Mingyu back. So the two of them managed to avoid the siege of those people.
After walking out of the Prince Yu's Mansion, Su Mingyu let out a long sigh. "This wedding ceremony is really tiring."
Gu Ruobai looked up at her. "On the day when we get married, you don't have to do anything. You just need to sit in the sedan chair."
Su Mingyu looked down at him. "Really?"
Gu Ruobai nodded. "When have I ever lied to you?"
Su Mingyu's eyes curved into a smile. "Since that's the case, I'll show you something nice."
As she said this, Su Mingyu pushed Gu Ruobai towards the Sinan Pavilion.
Xia Mian was about to call her mistress when she saw Su Mingyu, but she quickly reacted. "Hello, miss. May I ask what you need?"
Su Mingyu pointed to the second floor. "I had a set of clothes custom - made here before. Someone informed me that it's ready and asked me to come and pick it up."
Xia Mian nodded in understanding. "Then please follow me, miss."
The three of them went to the second floor. Su Mingyu immediately saw the box on the table. She quickened her steps and went forward to check it. It was exactly the effect she wanted. It seemed that her pattern - making masters had finally honed their skills under her guidance.
Gu Ruobai stood at the door, looking at Su Mingyu in confusion. "The thing you said you wanted to show me is just a set of clothes?"
Su Mingyu turned around and winked at Gu Ruobai. "Yes, it is a set of clothes, but it's very special."
As she said this, Su Mingyu waved her hand to signal Xia Mian to leave first.
After Xia Mian left, Su Mingyu pushed Gu Ruobai to face the door directly and specifically instructed him, "Don't turn around until I say you can."
Hearing the threatening tone in Su Mingyu's words, Gu Ruobai nodded helplessly. "Okay, I won't turn around."
Seeing that Gu Ruobai had agreed, Su Mingyu then took the box and went inside.
