Chapter 957: Chapter 955 Rumors

Inside the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion, Su Han came to help Wu Jinyan change her clothes.

She picked out a light blue wave-patterned skirt for Wu Jinyan, paired with jewelry of the same color series, which made her look dignified and elegant, with a demeanor rare in ordinary women, much like the attire she wore when she used to be the Regional Princess.

As Su Han arranged Wu Jinyan’s collar in front of the mirror, she said, “Today is your first time visiting the Marquis’s Manor to meet grandfather, and you must carry yourself with dignity and poise. Grandfather prefers women with temperament and grace, so you don’t need to worry about dressing too formally for today.”

Wu Jinyan’s delicate brows furrowed as she glanced at her outfit; on her head was the sapphire pearl hairpin, a treasure from the palace, unique in the world, that any discerning person would recognize.

“Sister Han, is this really appropriate? It’s a bit too showy.”

Wu Jinyan was still somewhat worried.

“The future Marquis’s young madam should be a bit ostentatious!”

Su Yingxue said loudly, striding in, coming to Wu Jinyan’s side, her eyes brightening, “Sister Jinyan, you truly are an elegant and beautiful woman, a rare find in this world!”

Wu Jinyan bashfully lowered her head, “You, stop teasing me!”

When it came to beauty, all the women of Jiang Du City combined couldn’t compare to Su Yingxue, and here she was, complimenting her!

Nevertheless, thinking that Su Yingxue was doing this to put her at ease, she was delighted, holding the hands of her and Su Han, her gaze sincere, “If we can become a family in the future, I will surely do well as the Marquis’s young madam, and won’t let you down!”

Su Yingxue and Su Han were like her sisters.

The love that her own family never gave her, they provided.

Su Han patted the back of her hand, smiling tenderly, “I believe you.”

She trusted Wu Jinyan’s character.

Su Yingxue then said, “We have never been disappointed in you, Sister Jinyan. If you are done, better hurry out! The Thousand-Jiao Pavilion is open, and brother is waiting outside!”

Wu Jinyan blushed as she replied, checking her attire and makeup repeatedly to ensure there were no issues before she stepped out of the room.

However, when she went out, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

“How could this be? When I returned home yesterday, the servants didn’t know any of these matters. Why does everyone know about it early this morning?” Su Han’s brows were tightly knitted.

Across from her, Su Hao and Su Yingxue had equally furrowed brows.

Su Hao shook his head, “I don’t know why, but the whole city is buzzing with the news today, and even grandfather knows.”

Su Yingxue and Su Han, one came early to prepare for the shop’s business, the other to accompany Wu Jinyan; when the two of them left the house, the streets were empty, and they heard no idle gossip.

But now that the streets were crowded and the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion opened for business, the rumors of Wu Jinyan’s pregnancy were spreading everywhere.

At this rate, the whole Jiang Du City would know, Su Qingzhi could not possibly be unaware.

Su Yingxue bit her lip lightly, “There must be a traitor in the Marquis’s Manor. It was calm last night!”

How come today, everywhere on the streets, they were discussing Wu Jinyan’s pregnancy!

Wu Jinyan overheard their conversation, and nearby, there were people from the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion coming and going, also discussing it, their gazes boldly glancing at her stomach.

She subconsciously guarded her belly.

“Yan’er!”

Su Hao was the quickest to notice her, dashing to her side, holding her hand, gently embracing her waist, and whispering comforting words, “Yan’er, don’t worry; I will protect you.”
