“Fine.” After a long while, Su Luo slowly replied.
This condition was, by any measure, to her advantage. It was just a kiss; she wouldn't lose a piece of flesh, would she? She had experienced plenty of play-acting in her past life.
She was currently lacking everything and was in dire need of a sucker who had delivered themselves to her doorstep.
Thus, the two treacherous individuals, each harboring their own ulterior motives, began their first confrontation.
Su Jingyu and his party arrived in a hurry.
Su Jingyu was the eldest son of the Su Family, born to the main wife, with quite excellent talent. At only twenty years old, he was already a Tier 3 expert, something many of the younger generation could only look up to with envy.
He did not come alone; he brought a whole group of people with him, walking in a grand and imposing manner.
Su Xi was furious but helpless. She hid her entire body behind the lotus flowers, fearing that even the slightest clue would be revealed, and in her heart, she had already cursed Su Wan to death.
She never imagined that she, Su Xi, would have such a disheveled and miserable day!
If only Su Jingyu had come, that would have been fine, but unfortunately, he was accompanied by the Crown Prince and various Young Masters from noble families.
If they were to go out now and be seen in this state, it would be guaranteed to spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital in less than a quarter of an hour. How would she, Su Xi, be able to show her face in the Imperial Capital then?
Su Xi glared fiercely at Su Wan. She swore that once she got out, she would absolutely not let this bitch Su Wan off!
Su Wan was also furious. She had not expected her luck to be so terrible.
Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, with more and more people arriving, what if they were discovered… Were they supposed to say they were swimming in the water?
It was spring, not summer.
What to do, what on earth should they do? Su Wan was so anxious she was pacing like an ant on a hot pan.
Su Luo looked at that group of Youth in Brocade Clothes, a playful smile curling the corners of her lips.
This was an unexpected turn of events; she hadn't expected this group to come over. Seeing Su Xi and Su Wan quietly lower their heads and shrink behind the lotus flowers, Su Luo understood that the identities of those people must be quite extraordinary.
The person in the lead should be the Crown Prince. He was dressed in a pale yellow brocade robe, with a Dragon-patterned belt tied around his waist. His lips were thin and pale, carrying an arrogant and haughty air. He looked cruel and effeminate, and one could tell at a glance that his temperament was not good.
Su Jingyu had a handsome face, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. At this moment, he was furrowing his brows, his expression seemingly displeased…
The Crown Prince looked at this small fire and laughed heartily: "Jingyu, what is your estate doing? Is this burning for fun?"
Not only the Crown Prince, but the noble Young Masters behind him also began to laugh.
Because the fact placed before them was indeed intriguing, and it was obvious at a glance that it was done on purpose.
Where was the fire? This was clearly just toying with people.
At this moment, what lay before them was a medium-sized pile of fire. Beneath it was dry, flammable grass, while the top was covered with a layer of fresh green leaves.
As everyone knew, if firewood wasn't dried, it would produce a lot of smoke when burned, and the other party had clearly used this to lure them over.
Su Jingyu also felt some suspicion in his heart at this moment. He smiled, his handsome eyebrows relaxing, and said to the Crown Prince, "Perhaps it was something the servants accidentally caused."
The Crown Prince stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping back and forth: "Oh? So the servants of the General's Mansion are all this bold?"
Su Jingyu felt a tightness in his heart and hurriedly explained: "It is also possible that my younger sisters were being mischievous and started it for fun. Now that everything is fine, shall we head back? I still have some questions about the lesson the teacher taught today, and I would like to ask for Your Highness's guidance."
