Chapter 1489: Chapter 1484: Eagerly Watching

Su Miaoyan thought briefly, it wasn’t about money that Mu Family’s Master refused to let Mu Qianya marry Brother Yu, then it must be about status.

She pondered for a moment, and softly said, “If Mu Family’s Master worries about the status of Sister Mu after she marries into our family, rest assured. Though I come from the Marquis’s Manor, I am not incapable of accommodating others. Sister Mu is easy to get along with, and I don’t mind sharing my husband with her as a secondary consort, as long as she supports my husband well. Naturally, she will have more dignity than the other concubines.”

Parents probably care about the status within the family and the household.

When she was still in the boudoir, her mother told her that as a legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Manor, she would certainly be the mistress of the house upon marriage, just like Sister Xue, who as a queen mother commands respect under the heavens, and Sister Han, who in both her marriages, holds the position of the mistress of the house. This status cannot be changed.

Sister Mu sharing a husband with her definitely cannot surpass her position as the mistress, but she can be a generous mistress. In the future, if Sister Mu has children, if she wishes, she can also raise them, treating them as legitimate children.

Mu Family’s Master was stunned. This princess from the Marquis’s Manor was more generous than he had imagined.

If his daughter born out of a concubine was to marry Xiao Yu as a concubine, he might have agreed right away.

But for his legitimate daughter, this is absolutely not possible!

Mu Family’s Master still tactfully refused, “It’s good that madam is generous, but concerning this marriage… I, as a father, cannot agree. Please call my daughter out, I will take her back to our manor myself, and not let her continue to disturb the peace of the Xiao family.”

It’s best for Mu Qianya to avoid getting involved in this chaotic situation of the Xiao family, lest she ends up dead without knowing why!

Su Miaoyan thought briefly and pursed her lips, “If Mu Family’s Master is concerned about business-related matters, Miaoyan is not knowledgeable enough to comment, and will wait until my husband returns. We can discuss it with Mu Family’s Master. However, the marriage that both my husband and Sister Mu have agreed upon, I have already started preparing. If Mu Family’s Master has any more concerns about the marriage, feel free to bring them up for discussion with me.”

Mu Family’s Master encountered a soft rebuttal; he had prepared two plans initially. If the mistress of the Xiao family was frail and did not manage affairs, he could have a reason to take Mu Qianya back.

If she managed affairs, but was tyrannical and domineering, he could also take Mu Qianya away, letting her understand that being a concubine in another’s house is not so simple.

But the approach of this mistress of the house was really hard for him to understand—how could there be a lady who does not engage in jealousy or envy and thinks so considerately for a concubine?

She was excessively generous!

And her generosity was tactical, essentially not intending to let him see Mu Qianya.

When Mu Family’s Master brought up the matter again, Su Miaoyan directly called in Yu Zhiqing, stating that since it was already late, she invited him to have dinner and stay the night. She would ask Mu Qianya to meet him the next day.

Such good courtesy left him speechless.

However, he did not stay at the Xiao family’s, but returned to a residence of the Mu Family in Yangzhou City.

He did not stay at the Xiao family’s, which was not the attitude of agreement, nor would it cause gossip.

In the end, Mu Qianya still had to come see him!

Su Miaoyan was not able to keep Mu Family’s Master, and felt she had not handled the matter well. She pouted her lips waiting for Xiao Yu to return.

Xiao Yu passed by the front hall, saw her sitting properly in the main seat, and his eyes focused, then he stepped forward reproaching, “Did you receive Mu Family’s Master?”

Su Miaoyan felt a wave of pressure and spoke softly, “It was me. Please don’t be mad, Brother Yu. Although Mu Family’s Master did not stay at the Xiao family, I also didn’t let him take Sister Mu away. I showed him the wedding processes and the gift list. He was not dissatisfied. I think it’s just…”

“Who let you make decisions on your own? My divorce letter has been issued; how long do you plan to cling on to the Xiao family?”

Xiao Yu berated in a low, cold voice, his beautiful eyes filled with icy and grim rage, no longer showing the tender affection he once had for Su Miaoyan.

In the blink of an eye, Su Miaoyan’s tears overflowed from her eyes, but she bit her lip and sobbed softly, “I’m not doing well, Brother Yu can teach me, I will study more, someday, I will be able to do well.”

The sight of Su Miaoyan’s tears somewhat moved Xiao Qingyu, who spoke softly behind Xiao Yu, “Sister-in-law, don’t cry, this is not your fault. Let brother handle this matter.”

Su Miaoyan had never done such a thing before; it was quite normal that even someone as astute as Old Master Mu had not kept her.

Even if his elder brother was here, Old Master Mu might not have completely conceded favor.

It wasn’t her fault.

However, Xiao Yu’s anger erupted suddenly, “If it’s not her fault, is it mine then? Xiao Qingyu, go kneel in the ancestral hall for one night. Think it over in the Xiao family before you speak again!”

Xiao Qingyu choked, facing the coldness in Xiao Yu’s eyes, he could only lower his head, “Yes, brother.”

He turned around and headed towards the ancestral hall.

A giant rock seemed to have landed in Su Miaoyan’s heart, she wiped her tears and walked in front of Xiao Yu, gently holding his hand, “Brother Yu, it’s not Seventh Brother’s fault, it was me… I didn’t do well enough, please don’t blame Seventh Brother.”

“He is the Seventh Young Master of the Xiao family, unrelated to Miss Su. You need not be overly concerned. The Xiao family does not have the right to deal with Miss Su, but I ask that Miss Su no longer intervene in matters of the Xiao family.”

Xiao Yu shook off her hand and turned away without any attachment.

Watching his rigid back, Su Miaoyan felt pain as if she were being gnawed on by ten thousand ants, she stood there, silently murmuring, “Why…”

Why, even though she had begun learning and doing, was Brother Yu still unwilling to let her stay in the Xiao family?

What she didn’t know was that her mother, Madam Yin, after seeing Xiao Yu, had threatened him with death to force him to push her out of the Xiao house within a month and take her back to Jiang Du City.

Madam Yin knew that the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for Su Miaoyan; the situation in Jiang Du was no longer stable. Su Yingxue had sent a letter, hoping she could return to the Marquis’s Manor in Jiang Du as soon as possible, where it was safer.

Of course, in Su Yingxue’s letter, it stated if Miaoyan was willing, she could be brought back.

As a mother, she could no longer leave Miaoyan in such a dangerous place as the Xiao family.

Su Miaoyan wanted to see Xiao Yu again, but she was blocked outside his study by his men. She waited outside the study until dark, Xiao Yu did not meet her; he only had Mu Qianya bring food to him.

Mu Qianya came carrying the food box past her. Besides Feng Ling, there were already two maids from the Xiao family beside her. Su Miaoyan recognized them as first-class maidservants of the Xiao family, good-looking, carefully selected, and clever in every matter.

Su Miaoyan saw her, opened her mouth but stopped herself from speaking.

Mu Qianya had thought about talking to her for a few words, but then Xiao Yu’s cold voice came out, “Come in.”

He was commanding her.

Mu Qianya, not wanting to anger Xiao Yu, went straight in carrying the food box.

Feng Ling also entered with the two maids to serve, but after a short while, the other two maids came out.

Su Miaoyan guessed that inside, there were only Xiao Yu, Mu Qianya, and Feng Ling serving their meal.

She stood at the door, staring longingly inside.
