Chapter 936: Chapter 934 This Man is a Bit Special

He felt that Xiao Yu was being somewhat wronged.

Xiao Yu was only twenty-six years old, older than Su Miaoyan, but when compared to that Ninth Prince from Su Yingxue’s family…

He was still somewhat younger, wasn’t he?

And their young master had only delayed getting married because of his business dealings, not to the point of becoming the “old man” Su Yingxue described.

Xiao Yu’s features were cool and collected, and on his face that seemed to show no emotion, his thin lips parted slightly, “The words of the Ninth Princess Consort, I fear the Ninth Prince has not heard. When I have time, I will certainly have a good talk with His Highness.”

Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, “Thinking of tattling to His Highness? As you like! But let me tell you, Xiao Yu, keep away from my sister. You sly old man, just find a madam from the Xiao family for yourself. Our Miss from the Marquis’s Manor, you’d best not touch.”

Otherwise, they would turn from partners into enemies!

A dark shade crossed Xiao Yu’s eyes, lending them a dim and indecipherable emotion.

“Sister, you misunderstand. Brother Yu has been very kind to me! He teaches me to read and write, and it’s far more interesting than what my tutors teach!”

Su Miaoyan bounced to Xiao Yu’s side, as docile as a little kitten.

And judging by her demeanor, she seemed to have gained a bit more poise and composure than her usual cleverness, as if she truly had learned quite a lot.

Su Yingxue’s tone relaxed somewhat, “Good, your Brother Yu has taught you well. But, Miss Miaoyan, can you come back with me to the Marquis’s Manor now? Grandpa will be back soon, and your father, my Third Uncle, will probably return to court soon too. If you’re still staying here when they come back, they’ll break your legs!”

“What? Grandpa… and my father are coming back soon?!”

Su Miaoyan shuddered with fright, hastily clutching at Xiao Yu’s sleeve, “Brother Yu, I really have to go back now, or if Daddy finds me here, I’ll be in real trouble!”

She was shrewd and knew how to charm any elder, but she feared her father most of all.

Stern, a man who at no time would show favoritism, no matter how she played coy or acted cute, it was useless.

A faint sense of reluctance flashed through Xiao Yu’s eyes as his hand gently rested on her head.

Compared to his proud and indifferent demeanor towards Su Yingxue just a moment ago, he now spoke to her tenderly, “All right.”

He arranged for someone to escort Su Yingxue and Su Miaoyan back.

He even personally saw them off at the gate of Qilin Garden.

Su Yingxue was always observing Xiao Yu’s expression. This man seemed to have a special feeling for Su Miaoyan.

Special enough for her to take heed!

But on the surface, he appeared to treat Su Miaoyan merely as a child.

He didn’t stop her when she came to take her away.

Xiao Yu watched their carriage leave, the expression in his eyes retracted, becoming profound and indifferent, yet holding an inscrutable darkness that others could not discern.

Xiao Si stood beside him, heaving a sigh, “Sigh, even Lady Yin couldn’t take Miss Miaoyan away, and yet she went away with the Ninth Princess Consort.”

His young master must feel reluctant!

Xiao Yu’s voice was cold, “Su Yingxue couldn’t take her away because she herself wanted to go back. It was only then I let her.”

In the end, he had not yet been able to give her a proper status.

However, there will be time in the future.

In the Marquis’s Manor, when Su Yingxue brought Su Miaoyan back, Su Han had already prepared a table full of sumptuous food.

With no elders present, Su Han lifted her cup and said with a light smile, “Today, we three sisters will enjoy good company!”

“Wow, Sister Han is drinking! I want to drink too!”

Su Miaoyan poured out the fruit juice in her cup and quietly filled it with wine.
