The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 98

Just then, a shrewd voice sounded, and when Qingyan turned to look, she saw Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen with a bunch of people standing behind them. Those people behind them she was rather familiar with, they seemed to be the cooks she'd reserved from Julong Zhai. But to make this big of a clamor...

Could it be that Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen were here to watch a show?

Qingyan glared to Murong Jingxuan, her gaze seemed to be saying, 'I can't believe you brought the Fourth Prince to my house to watch a show."

Murong Jingxuan helplessly shrug his shoulders. The eunuch beside Xuanyuan Yuzhen already began to read the imperial edict, saying that for Su Yun's return, this delicious meal from Julong Zhai was specially bestowed to him. The imperial edict even emphasized that this meal was for Su Yun.

After reading out the imperial edict, the eunuch left. And yet, Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Murong Jingxuan remained behind.

Qingyan saw the dishes in the cooks' hands standing before her and looked to Su Yun with a smile, "Father, do you want to eat in the main hall or in my yard?"

Su Yun glanced to the eager Su Ming and Su Yan and unwittingly thought of those things. He'd always felt he was sorry towards Qingyan, and seeing their expectant gazes, he simply said, "I'm a bit tried from the journey today, since second sister-in-law didn't prepare anything, then I'll just go to Yan'er yard."

With that said, Su Yun went ahead and left, pulling Qingyan away, and following after was Luo Bing and Su Qingyu. As for Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen, they naturally followed as well.

Seeing the crowd's back walking away in the distance, Su Ming and Su Yan could only angrily grind their teeth, but couldn't do anything about it.

Ning Siyao watched their retreating backs and could only claw into her skin. Didn't her elder brother say everything was already arranged so that Su Yun and Luo Bing won't be able to return alive. So then why did it become like this now?

Not only returning safe and sound, they even received his Majesty's bestowment of honor. Even though it was only a table of dishes, it was still his Majesty's immense favoring.

"Just what in the world is going on, second brother?" Su Yan looked to Su Ming with a look of doubt.

Su Ming didn't know the reasoning behind this either. He glanced to the figures in the distance and fell into thought. Soon after he noticed that Ning Siyao had a look of disbelief.

Chai Yiyun wouldn't personally try to invite bad luck, so she turned to leave as well.

Su Ming looked to Ning Siyao and coldly spoke, "Come back with me."

When Ning Siyao heard Su Ming's voice, she couldn't help but tremble. They've been married for this many years, and Su Ming seemed to have never used that kind of tone with her before. She could imagine what Su Ming wanted to ask.

But this matter, she didn't know whether she should tell him or not.

Su Ming brought Ning Siyao back to her own yard. When they returned to the room, he closed the doored and turned to Ning Siyao, "Tell me, just what in the world happened? Seeing big brother like that, something unpleasant must have happened on the way back to the capital."

Ning Siyao looked to Su Ming with a bit of a guilty conscious, "How would I know? My lord, don't tell me you're suspecting me?"

Su Ming walked up next to her, "You're my wife, your personality, I understand well enough. That's why it's best if you tell me just what is going on."

Ning Siyao knew that this matter she could no longer keep hiding anymore. So she could only confess everything to Su Ming. Su Ming never would have thought that Jingguo Marquis manor would dare to try go after Su Yun's life.

But the reality of it proved that they'd failed, moreover they lost terribly.

At the moment, Su Yun, Luo Bing, and Su Qingyu were all in Yingshuang yard. Zizhu placed all the dishes from the food containers one by one onto the table. Seeing Qingyan's smiling expression, they also felt this moment was great.
