Shengjing Noble

Chapter 439 I like you

"Right now, I only want to stabilize Zuixianlou's business. As for other things, I don't have any thoughts. I can even say... I have never thought about getting married in my life."

When Lu Wanjun heard this, her face changed drastically: "What? How can you not get married? Yinyin, please don't be so heartbroken about this that you become a nun..."

Su Lanyin frowned: "What do you mean by becoming a monk? What nonsense are you talking about, mother? I just don't want to get married, but I didn't say I don't want to deal with the secular world."

"You are so confused! How can there be a woman in this world who doesn't get married? Don't lose faith in all men just because you saw your mother's marriage fail. Don't worry, your mother will keep a close eye on you!"

Su Lanyin felt somewhat helpless and could only nod and perfunctorily say, "Okay, okay, then I'll let you take good care of it."

In her previous life, she was also bound by Lu Wanjun's thoughts, thinking that women must marry and have children, only then is life valuable.

But in the end, her mind was changed by her enemies.

Although Su Lanxin is a fool who wants to rely on men to climb up, what she wants is never love, but power and status.

She likes the prince because she admires his strength. Only by becoming a prince consort can she get closer to the position of the mother of a country.

Before she died in her previous life, Su Lanxin once whispered in her ear: "Only fools will truly devote themselves to men, like your mother and you! I'm different from you. What I want from the beginning to the end is to step on men to climb up!"

Su Lanyin used to disdain and feel disgusted by such thoughts, but now it seems that she admires Su Lanxin's clear-headedness.

Although stupidity is a flaw, at least she can see clearly.

There is no man in this world who you can truly rely on. On the contrary, they may still need to rely on you.

Nanny Li brought back some snacks, and her face looked a little ugly compared to before.

Lu Wanjun saw it immediately, so she asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen earlier?"

Madam Li shook her head: "How is that possible? With the three young masters taking care of her, nothing will happen."

"Then why do you look so grim? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, it's just..."

Nanny Li seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and looked at Su Lanyin with a conflicted look.

"Mammy, why are you looking at me? If you have something to say, just say it directly. We are all family. Why are you still hiding things?" Su Lanyin asked.

"Alas, when I went to get food for the young lady just now, I saw... I saw King Xiaoyao and Miss Shen behaving very intimately, even picking up food for each other."

I thought Su Lanyin would be sad or angry, but she was speechless.

"What's the matter? Why do you look like that?"

"Girl, didn't King Xiaoyao treat you before..."

Su Lanyin quickly denied: "No! He and I...were just having a casual affair, nothing more!"

She said this on the one hand because she wanted to toughen her heart and not feel wronged, and on the other hand because she wanted to reassure her family.

But he didn't know that behind the courtyard wall not far away, Fu Wuyang heard everything clearly.

His face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and there was murderous rage in his eyes.

In the courtyard, Nanny Li continued, "I just overheard a few guests gossiping. They said that the emperor intends to marry this Miss Shen to Prince Xiaoyao."

Su Lanyin said calmly while eating, "Well, it's normal. One is the King of Freedom and the other is the daughter of the Grand Tutor. They are a perfect match."

Lu Wanjun and Nanny Li looked at each other and felt that her reaction was really unexpected.

"Yinyin, are you really not angry, or are you... holding it in?" Lu Wanjun asked cautiously, fearing that Su Lanyin would burst into tears in the next second.

Cuizhu was also worried: "Girl, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell us. There is no outsider here anyway, so don't keep it to yourself."

Su Lanyin paused with her hand holding the snacks, looked at the table and fell into deep thought, not answering them for a while.

Lu Wanjun couldn't sit still any longer: "Daughter, are you feeling aggrieved? Tell your mother, and I'll go out and help you kick those two out."

"Don't!" Su Lanyin hurriedly stopped him, "They are royal relatives. If you go up to them and attack them, aren't you slapping the royal family in the face? Mother, have you forgotten that our Lu family is a royal merchant?"

Lu Wanjun said angrily: "If anyone makes my daughter sad, I don't care who he is!"

These words were indeed spoken in anger. She just wanted to make Su Lanyin happy. It was impossible for her to really disregard the family's interests and safety and go against the royal family.

"Why should I be sad? Is it because King Xiaoyao wants to marry someone else?" Su Lanyin looked at them in confusion, "You really underestimate me."

Several people looked at each other, still looking at her worriedly.

Su Lanyin sighed, stood up and said, "I admit that I had an ambiguous relationship with the prince for a while, but that's all. After all, it's difficult for a man and a woman to maintain a pure friendship."

"But I know very well that he and I are not the same kind of people. Even if we ignore our identities and only talk about our personalities, there are many incompatibility. If he can marry someone better than me, as a friend, I will naturally congratulate him."

"So, don't worry. I'm really not that deeply involved. Even from the beginning, I knew that he didn't have to have me. After all, he never admitted in person that he liked me."

In her opinion, the beginning of a relationship should at least start with one sentence: "I like you".

But Fu Wuyang never said or even expressed anything like that.

So, she thought that he didn't like her enough.

Lu Wanjun suddenly felt very distressed, and quickly stood up and hugged her in her arms to comfort her.

"Yinyin, don't worry, mother is here and will not let you suffer any injustice. We will find someone better than him in the future."

Su Lanyin was helpless: "Mom, don't compare yourself with anyone."

"Yes, yes, mother said the wrong thing."

……

Fu Wuyang stood outside the courtyard wall, his emotions surging. He wanted to go in and explain things to her, but he put his foot down again.

It turned out that she also admitted that there had been an ambiguous relationship between them, but it had never started.

So, does it mean that as long as he adds "I like you", she will fall in love with him?

After hesitating for a long time, he finally plucked up the courage to go in and find out what was going on.

"Uncle Emperor?"

Just as Fu Wuyang was about to go in, a voice came from behind him.

He turned around and saw that it was Fu Mingchuan.

"How did you come?"

He frowned, with displeasure and even an unprecedented hostility in his eyes.

Fu Mingchuan took out a silk handkerchief from his arms. There was a word "Yin" embroidered on it. It was obvious who it belonged to.

"I'm here to find Lan Yin."

His smile was as gentle as jade, his eyes were clear and transparent, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, looking very happy.

The handkerchief in her hand was clean and pure, as if it had been carefully cared for and ironed, without a single wrinkle.
