13: Just kidding

He was loyal to the Su Family, having watched Su Xuan grow up since he was young. Normally, those who wanted to curry favor with Su Xuan's family would line up from here all the way to France!

But that Ning Yixuan, she truly bit the hand that fed her. Not only did she humiliate Su Xuan in every way, but she even openly declared that she'd rather marry a servant than marry him!

All of these things made Old Mo incredibly angry.

"Let her in!"

Su Xuan said calmly.

"Young Master..."

Su Xuan's attitude surprised Old Mo, but he didn't dare to say anything more and simply complied.

...

"Your Highness! The Emperor is truly too much! To actually force you to do such a thing, you are, after all, a princess of Qi Country! His own daughter!"

"A dignified princess of Qi Country, actually humbling herself to beg that Su Xuan! What right does he have?!"

"Just because his father has an army of hundreds of thousands? Does he really think Qi Country can't do without him?"

Outside the Su Mansion, two figures stepped inside. Xiao Cui, the maid behind Ning Yixuan, was full of indignation, chattering non-stop.

"Xiao Cui, you absolutely must not say such things in front of outsiders from now on. It's fine to say them in front of me, that's all."

Ning Yixuan said, looking at Xiao Cui.

She also knew that what Xiao Cui said was rebellious, but it spoke her true feelings. How could she not think the same?

However, being in the imperial family, these things were unavoidable. Furthermore, now was precisely the time when she urgently needed Su Xuan's help.

This was also one of the reasons why she treated Xiao Cui as her personal maid.

"Hah, Your Highness, don't worry! Although I usually talk a lot, I'm not brainless!"

"I only say these things in front of you!"

Xiao Cui laughed.

"But speaking of which, are you really going to beg that Su Xuan? Didn't you hate him the most?"

"And, last time, you humiliated him in front of so many people. Now that you're going to beg him, what if he makes some extremely outrageous demands of you?"

Xiao Cui said worriedly.

Although Su Xuan said he didn't mind last time, being humiliated in such a setting would probably make even a Saint struggle to quell his anger, right?

Ning Yixuan's visit to the Su Mansion this time would likely result in Su Xuan making some unreasonable demands!

That would be the end! Xiao Cui had already imagined countless terrifying scenarios in her mind.

"Then do you have any other ideas?"

Ning Yixuan sighed. She didn't want to do this either.

"Your Highness, if only I were as beautiful as you! That way, even if Su Xuan made any outrageous demands, you could just hand me over!"

Xiao Cui laughed.

These words made Ning Yixuan laugh too. If it really came to that, she would rather die than do it.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of Su Xuan's study.

"Xiao Cui, wait for me here. I'll be right back!"

Ning Yixuan finished speaking and stepped onto the stairs.

Looking at Ning Yixuan's back, Xiao Cui's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Your Highness! If anything happens, just knock on the door and tell me! If that Su Xuan dares to harm you, I'll make sure he gets what's coming to him!"

Xiao Cui said indignantly.

Don't let her petite physique fool you; she still possessed cultivation close to the True Origin Realm.

One punch would be enough to kill an ox!

Pushing the door open, Ning Yixuan entered, dressed in a goose-yellow brocade long dress, its hem swaying gently with her steps, like a blooming daisy.

Her waist was slender, not even a handful, and a light purple silk ribbon was tied around her waist, further accentuating her graceful figure.

Her skin was like snow, her eyebrows like distant mountains, and her figure was curvaceous. She truly was like a fated female lead!

Su Xuan carefully scrutinized her, taking her in, and a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.

"Madam, it's been a few days, and you've become even more beautiful!"

Before Ning Yixuan could speak, Su Xuan came before her, wrapped an arm around her waist, and smoothly closed the study door.

Thin! So thin! What kind of genes could produce such a waist? Ning Yixuan's mother must have been a rare beauty, too, he thought.

"Su Xuan! Are you crazy? Are you looking for death?!"

Ning Yixuan didn't react immediately, as the current Su Xuan was somewhat different from before.

When she realized the movement on her waist, Ning Yixuan's face instantly flushed red, and she became furious.

Looking at Ning Yixuan in front of him, Su Xuan's expression was indifferent. If he remembered correctly, in the original plot, the border of Qi Country was invaded by foreign enemies.

As the border general, Su Long did not go to meet the enemy; instead, he led his large army to remain stationary!

Anyone could tell that Su Long did this because of Ning Yixuan's matter last time.

Su Long doted on Su Xuan to the extreme, a person he normally couldn't scold or hit.

But Ning Yixuan's behavior that day was truly too deceitful. Even if Su Long and Ning Yixuan's father had a good relationship, he still left the main hall with a cold face.

To make Ning Yixuan bow her head, Su Long did not hesitate to abandon the border territory, leading the common people to retreat a hundred miles away.

This troubled Ning Yixuan's father greatly, because of this incident, the already declining prestige of the imperial family decreased even further.

It even triggered several riots.

Left with no choice, the imperial family had to send Ning Yixuan to appease Su Xuan. Anyone with eyes could see that the Emperor, his old man, had sold his own daughter.

At first, Ning Yixuan resisted fiercely, even threatening to die, and even said that she would lead the imperial army herself.

However, under the persuasion of Ning Yixuan's mother, Ning Yixuan finally agreed to come and find Su Xuan.

But now, Ning Yixuan actually dared to give him attitude? She really was ungrateful!

"Angry? If you're angry, then please leave! I don't talk to angry people!"

Su Xuan, with a flick of his hand, pushed Ning Yixuan towards the door.

Su Xuan's action surprised Ning Yixuan. Was he going to shut her out? How dare he?

It might be better if he shut her out. That way, if Su Xuan didn't help her, it wouldn't be her fault; it would be because Su Xuan simply didn't want to help her.

"Xuan'er, you must remember, this time you can only succeed, not fail. Once Qi Country falls, the efforts of our ancestors will be ruined!"

"No matter what, no matter what method you use, you must persuade Su Xuan this time!"

Ning Yixuan's mother's words suddenly echoed in her ears.

Thinking of this, Ning Yixuan bit her lip and forced a smile.

"Su Xuan, I was just joking with you. I was just teasing you! Don't mind it!"

Ning Yixuan laughed.

"Oh? Teasing me? So, you're treating me like a monkey to play with, then?"

Su Xuan smiled faintly.

Su Xuan's attitude infuriated Ning Yixuan. Despite this, Ning Yixuan forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart. She was here to see Su Xuan for important business.
