The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 137

Qingyan was still a bit curious as to why Su Qingyu would appear here at this time. However, for him to appear at this time was really for the best. After all, she still really wanted to get away from Xuanyuan Yufan right now. She wasn't willing to have too many interactions with Xuanyuan Yufan.

After all, in the future, she was going to be standing on the opposite side. Moreover, didn't that so called Yi Consort still wanted to test her out.

Truthfully speaking, she also very much wanted to compete with Yi Consort.

"Big brother, how come you're here?" Qingyan greeted Su Qingyu with a smile, "I was just going to look for you."

"This humble subject greets Second Prince." Su Qingyu looked to Xuanyuan Yufan and spoke in an ice cold tone. He then turned around to face Qingyan, his tone instintively softening, "Father and mother saw that you still hadn't headed over and were a bit worried."

"Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave, second brother." Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yufan still maintaining that smile. But in that moment, Xuanyuan Yufan felt that the smile on Qingyan's face was a bit irksome.

At least, it made him feel very uncomfortable.

After receiving Xuanyuan Yufan's acknowledgment, Su Qingyu took Qingyan with him and left.

Qingyan looked to Su Qingyu next to her and smiled, "Big brother, was it really father and mother that let you come find me?"

Su Qingyu looked to Qingyan and scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, "It was his Highness, Shizi, that told me to come find you, not father and mother."

After hearing Su Qingyu's words, the corner of her lips perked up. How did Murong Jingxuan know that she would run into Xuanyuan Yufan at this time? But after thinking about that ability of his, there's probably various kinds of venomous snakes hiding throughout the Imperial Palace too.

And these snakes can all become Murong Jingxuan's most intimate spies. These spies can provide for him the most reliable information.

"Yan'er, why did you suddenly run into the Second Prince just now?" Su Qingyu dislikes the Second Prince very much. Although the fight for the throne was still unclear right now, but for Su Yun, they still chose to stand on his Majesty's side, especially a valiant hero like Su Yun.

"How would I know." Qingyan said in an annoyed tone. "Probably in order to see my injury."

Qingyan thought back to Xuanyuan Yufan's gaze earlier and couldn't help thinking about Xuanyuan Yufan's previous plans. Although his plans have been temporarily put on halt, it didn't mean that this matter won't happen. At least, for Ning Siyao, she can still have Su Qingyuan live a little longer.

Heh, heh. Qingyan looked out into the distant skies and coldly laughed to herself.

However, when the time comes for her to make her move, then it won't be a simple matter anymore.

By the time Qingyan arrived at the banquet site, everyone's gazes were all directed at her. However, she wasn't too concerned with their looks, she never had any intentions to explain anything after all.

As soon as Luo Yixin appeared next to Liu Yueqiong, she was pulled to the side by Luo Yiqian, mysteriously asking her, "Big sister, I heard you all encountered an assassin at the Princess's palace, is it true?"

Luo Yixin recalled Qingyan's instructions and nodded at Luo Yiqian, "Indeed so, but the Princess is fine."

Just when she thought Luo Yiqian was worried about Qingyan, she heard Luo Yiqian's following words, "How come that Su Qingyan is still not dead, it's best if she dies."

Hearing this, Luo Yixin couldn't help frowning, "Qian'er, at the very least, she's our sister too."

Luo Yiqian sneered, "She's your sister, not mine. Moreover, I don't have that kind of sister."

After listening to Luo Yiqian's words, Luo Yixin could only silently walk over to Liu Yueqiong's side. Seeing her like so, Liu Yueqiong worryingly asks, "Xin'er, could it be that you're frightened by what happened to Qingyan earlier?"

Luo Yixin shook her head, "Mother, I was just thinking how Yan'er really is different from before."

"Silly child." Liu Yueqiong looked to Luo Yixin and stroked her head, "If you lived in that kind of environment, perhaps you would also become like Yan'er."

Luo Yixin didn't know why Qingyan would become so vicious and ruthless like now. Everything she did earlier, she took it too heart, especially seeing her carrying those silver made willow leaf blades. She had never seen such a ruthless and heartless Qingyan before.

The Qingyan at that time appeared as if she didn't have any feelings, like she was a malevolent spirit from hell.

"Xin'er, do you know how a sheep surrounded by wolves continues to survive? By turning itself into a wolf." Liu Yueqiong looked to Luo Yixin still with a gentle expression, "That's why no matter how Yan'er becomes, Xin'er should always get along well with her."

Luo Yixin naturally understood Liu Yueqiong's words, but in the end, she still couldn't comprehend just where Qingyan's martial art skills came from. Although she wasn't one to practice martial arts, but ever since she was small, she'd read a lot of books. Qingyan's martial art skills was completely the kind that required dense inner energy.

"Xin'er, as long as Yan'er still treats you like before, you don't need to worry about her harming you." Liu Yueqiong looked to Luo Yixin with a gentle smile.

Luo Yixin looked to the nearby Su Yun and the others cheerfully talking, and Qingyan earnestly nodding in response.

Mother is right. In reality, Qingyan was still that original Qingyan, it's just that the environment they live in is different.

Qingyan felt Luo Yixin's gaze on her. She turned to face her and returned a slight smile.

"Yan'er, is your body really alright?" Su Yun looked to Qingyan and asked in concern, "His Majesty said that if you don't feel well, you can return in advance."

"Daddy, do you not believe your own daughter?" Qingyan looked to Su Yun with a smiling face, "Yan'er's body is already fine now, daddy don't need to worry."

Su Yun looked to Qingyan and thought of what Hongjia Emperor said. In his heart, he still felt guilty. In the beginning, if he'd kept her at his side the whole time, then perhaps this wouldn't have happened today.

Moreover, everything that happened during the Dragon Gate Banquet three years ago, he still remembered it all vividly. Although she became the laughing stock of all of Diqiu, she is still his daughter. And now, his daughter was becoming increasingly more sensible. Who knows what kind of secret is hidden behind this change.

And the only thing he could do was to properly protect this daughter.

"Husband, let's just believe Yan'er." Luo Bing looked to Su Yun with a comforting expression, "After all, Yan'er has already grown up now."

"She has grown, but Yan'er is still a young girl not of marriageable age yet. I don't know what kind of things Yan'er has encountered in the last three years for her to have become this sensible and clever." Su Yun looked to Qingyan sitting at her seat and couldn't help frowning.

"Husband, don't think too much. Even if she makes us lose face again during today's banquet, she is still our flesh and blood." Luo Bing looked to the smiling Qingyan and reluctantly spoke, "Yan'er has never learn those four arts before after all!"
