Chapter 455: 2 A RESPLENDENT VISAGE
CHAPTER 455 (2): A RESPLENDENT VISAGE
In the end, she couldn’t resist the temptation of his smile, and took him to her house.
“Miaomiao, why did you return so late? Have you picked the wild vegetables?” A married woman’s voice could be heard before she emerged in ash yellow coarse clothes.
Su Miao went up to her. “I have them, Mum. I’ll cook them later to nourish Elder Brother’s body.”
Xie Yun immediately understood that the Su Family was considered poor, even by the standards of the impoverished Willow Village.
“Mum, I met a gentleman on the way back, and he said that he had something to talk to you and Dad about.”
He Xiuxiu glanced towards the courtyard. My daughter has really brought an unfamiliar man home!
Her face immediately darkened. “Miaomiao, aren’t you aware of Willow Village’s rules? You can’t bring a man back home. This is so infuriating! Of all people, why do you have to learn from your Second Aunt[1]?!”
“Mum, this gentleman said that he’s here to inform us of Younger Cousin’s whereabouts.”
“What, your younger cousin?! Your Second Aunt did such a filthy thing and implicated your Second Uncle. You have no younger cousin, only an elder brother.”
Xie Yun could immediately deduce that ‘Second Aunt’ was referring to Su Xi-er’s mother. She’s infamous for being unchaste in Willow Village.
“Why are you getting angry? The younger cousin you all are unwilling to mention has become the most noble woman in Beimin.” Xie Yun’s smile was replaced with solemnity as he walked over.
Su Miao couldn’t completely process what had just been said. Not only is Younger Cousin not dead, she’s become Beimin’s most noble woman? What on earth is going on?
“Even if Willow Village is desolate, it’s still just 20 kilometres away from the capital. Unlike those who live even further away in other villages, you must at least know the name ‘Prince Hao’.” Xie Yun made sure to carefully observe the married woman’s expression.
He Xiuxiu was stunned. Of course, I have heard of Prince Hao. Although Willow Village is remote, there are people who have once gone to train in the army barracks.
“Su Xi-er is now the noble Princess Consort Hao, but during her wedding, not a single person from her maiden family turned up, and she didn’t even invite you. It really leaves people bitterly disappointed.” Xie Yun enunciated his words, and saw that the married woman’s eyes were getting wider and wider.
“Su Xi-er...Princess Consort Hao?”!” He Xiuxiu was shocked.
