Chapter 1776 -1769: The Crown Prince Must Peek

Wu Jinyan smiled, “Last night, it seemed that Tangtang was overwhelmed by the Crown Prince’s concern, feeling too shy, which is why she suddenly fell ill.”

“Maybe not sick, just a little heart palpitations.” Su Miaoyan was rather delighted to see her daughter experiencing the blossoming of love, but thinking of Xiao Yu, a tinge of helplessness crept into her smile, “Brother Yu doesn’t want Tangtang to get married, especially not into the palace.”

With the Xiao family’s status, Tangtang likely won’t have the fate to become the empress, and if she were to become one of the concubines, Brother Yu might take her back to Jiangnan overnight, never allowing her to come to Jiang Du City again.

“In the end, as a father, there’s always more bias towards the daughter. My Brother Hao can’t bear to see Bao Jun get married either.” Wu Jinyan glanced at her daughter outside the window and chuckled.

But as mothers, they had to think more thoroughly and long-term than fathers did. Daughters always needed to marry, and when to marry, to whom, and what her future in-laws would be like were all concerns that started now, and there’d be endless worries thereafter.

The sisters-in-law were chatting happily when, in the front hall, Xiao Yu asked Su Hao for a favor to help bring Su Yingxue back sooner.

“Are you in a hurry to find Yingxue? Is something urgent?” Su Hao observed Xiao Yu’s expression, which was cold and emotionless but very serious, much more serious than when he discussed business.

Xiao Yu didn’t disclose much, only stating there was something very important, asking Su Hao to keep it discreet and ensure Su Yingxue returns to Jiang Du City before the spring exams.

Seeing Xiao Yu’s urgency, Su Hao agreed to pass a message to Su Yingxue for him.

However, among all of them, only he knew that Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan had planned to return upon Chu Heng’s ascension due to Chu Yihan’s health, not because they intended to delay.

At the inn, when Rong Ning discovered the note left by Rong Yue, she was already gone.

The note on the table had flamboyant handwriting: Brother, I’m going to the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor to see Chu Heng.

All of Rong Ning’s countless reminders to her had been in vain!

Her mind was solely fixated on Chu Heng.

At the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, Rong Yue entered with the woman delivering dishes, found someone dressed as a maidservant, knocked her out and dragged her aside, took her clothes, and walked around the manor.

She wasn’t particularly cunning but had a talent for sneaking out disguised as a palace maid since childhood and was quite adept at these little tricks.

Walking around in the manor in a maid’s outfit, she quickly grasped most of the rules, casually making up a name and striking up a conversation with the head of the back courtyard.

The head of the back courtyard, Granny Qiu, was a strict person. The various maids in the manor never had it easy with her. Her intimidating face kept people at bay, but Rong Yue was sweet and endearing, quickly charming her as if she were her own granddaughter and got led into the master’s courtyard.

Granny Qiu was puzzled while being led, “Qiu Tian is sick and sends her sister as a replacement without prior notice? There’s a banquet in the manor today, and if such a young maid as you messes up, how many heads will be enough for the penalty?”

Rong Yue, supporting Granny Qiu, pouted and jested, “Granny thinks Yue’er doesn’t serve well? Then Yue’er shall leave right away, never to trouble Granny.”

Saying this, she squeezed out two tears, turned away, and looked as if she was about to leave, crying.

Her delicate and fair face, with her lips pouting, was very endearing and lovable.
