Chapter 387 Even if you're willing to marry her, she might not be willing to marry you.
"Your Highness, please wait for me!" Jinse called out anxiously, taking small, hurried steps to catch up with Su Nuannuan ahead.
However, the moment Su Nuannuan opened the door, an unexpected scene unfolded before her eyes. Standing in the doorway was a smiling man—it was Su Yuan.
"Little sister, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?" Su Yuan asked jokingly with a smile.
When Su Nuannuan saw Su Yuan, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she blurted out, "Third Brother, what brings you here?"
She immediately understood. Qixianglou was Su Yuan's property, and the manager would definitely tell him everything that had happened here, so it wasn't surprising that he was here.
Just then, Canglan Jingcheng noticed Su Yuan's arrival and quickly called out, "Third Uncle."
Su Yuan looked up at the sound and his gaze fell on Cang Lan Jingcheng, who was still kneeling on the ground. He frowned and scolded, "Oh dear! Little sister, look at you, how can you let the child kneel on the ground?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan glared at her son with annoyance, then turned around and angrily sat back down in her original seat.
Upon seeing this, Cang Lan Jingcheng quickly stood up from the ground and explained, "Third Uncle, it was my own fault for making Mother angry; it has nothing to do with Mother."
"What's the big deal? Jingcheng just misjudged people, right? Is it worth getting so angry about?" Su Yuan said to Su Nuannuan as he sat down.
"Alright, don't be angry anymore. Third Brother will help you get revenge. The Shi family is probably in a bad situation now." Su Yuan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said slowly.
At this moment, the Shi family residence was deathly silent, as if the entire mansion was shrouded in a suffocating atmosphere. Gone were the usual hustle and bustle, leaving only a deathly stillness.
After learning of this incident, the head of the Shi family dealt with the troublesome mother and daughter, and then hurriedly went to find his legitimate daughter, whom he had expelled from the clan. However, when he arrived at his daughter's residence, he not only did not find her, but was also told by the gatekeeper that she had gone to her maternal grandparents' house.
This news came like a bolt from the blue, leaving the head of the Shi family utterly stunned. He never imagined that his eldest daughter would leave home at this time, especially to go to her maternal grandparents' house. This was undoubtedly rubbing salt into his wounds, making his situation even more difficult.
But he didn't consider that the person was no longer a member of the Shi family, so why was he still looking for them?
Only at this moment did the head of the Shi family awaken from his dream and begin to remember all the good qualities of his wife and daughter. He was filled with remorse, sighing inwardly that if time could turn back, he would definitely treat them better. Unfortunately, it was all too late now.
"I will no longer concern myself with his affairs. Let him do whatever he wants!" Su Nuannuan waved her hand indifferently.
"Mother, your son truly knows he was wrong." Upon seeing this, Canglan Jingcheng immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness, his face filled with fear.
"Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you all," Su Yuan said, putting down his teacup and speaking with a serious expression.
"What is it that requires Third Brother to make this trip in person?" Su Nuannuan asked curiously, her gaze fixed on Su Yuan, waiting for him to continue.
“The Shi family has a true legitimate daughter. However, she has not only been expelled from the family genealogy, but her deceased mother has also divorced her father, and even her grave has been moved,” Su Yuan said slowly.
"So, has this Miss Shi moved back to her maternal grandparents' house, or has she bought a house and settled down there?" Su Nuannuan continued to ask.
"I heard he bought a house and moved in with a personal maid and a gatekeeper," Su Yuan replied.
"Hmm, to be able to buy a house and live there herself, and even bring her own maid, this Miss Shi is truly a woman of great courage! However, it must not be easy for two girls to live alone." Su Nuannuan nodded and said thoughtfully.
"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this Miss Shi is quite shrewd and has managed the dowry shop that her mother left her quite well," Su Yuan continued.
"Oh? Third Brother, what do you mean by that?" Su Nuannuan frowned and asked in confusion.
"Hehe, since Jingcheng likes the Shi family's daughter, why don't we go with the flow and marry this Miss Shi? What do you think?" Su Yuan suddenly leaned closer to Su Nuannuan and teased her with a mischievous smile.
Su Nuannuan glared at him and said irritably, "Jingcheng may be willing to marry her, but the girl may not be happy to marry him! Stop thinking nonsense and stop trying to take advantage of her."
She paused, then continued, "It's already difficult enough for a woman to live independently, and you're still scheming for your nephew's daughter? That's really unfair!"
Upon hearing this, Canglan Jingcheng felt somewhat displeased and muttered, "Third Uncle, I don't want to marry a girl from the Shi family!"
"Oh ho, you're quite picky!" Su Nuannuan wasn't buying it and immediately retorted, "You really think too highly of yourself. Even if you wanted to marry her, the girl might not even be interested in you!"
After saying that, Su Nuannuan turned to Su Yuan and asked, "What's the situation with her maternal grandparents' family?"
Su Yuan sighed and replied, "Her maternal family does have a title, but it will only last until this generation, unless someone in their clan can produce a capable person who can lead the Feng family back to glory."
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan immediately understood. Since the Feng family held a title, even if it was only the lowest rank, it was definitely not something ordinary people could compare to.
If that's the case, why would the Feng family marry their daughter to a merchant? Either this girl is love-struck and blinded by love; or the Feng family has ulterior motives towards the Shi family, which is why they agreed to the marriage; or the Shi family schemed against the Feng family, wanting the benefits that the Feng family's title would bring them.
"Mother, why don't you choose a princess for your son?" Canglan Jingcheng said helplessly.
"Mother, rest assured, no matter who the princess is, your son will treat her with sincerity." Cang Lan Jingcheng quickly raised his hand and swore.
However, Su Nuannuan suddenly scoffed. She looked at Cang Lan Jingcheng and said mockingly, "Sincerity? Jingcheng, you're so naive. Sincerity is the cheapest thing in this world."
Su Nuannuan's words stunned everyone present, especially Cang Lan Jingcheng, whose expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Seeing this, Su Yuan immediately stood up to defend Cang Lan Jingcheng, saying, "Little sister, you're wrong. My feelings for your third sister-in-law are genuine. Who says sincerity is the least valuable thing?"
Su Nuannuan sneered and retorted, "Oh? Then tell me, how much is your sincerity worth?"
Su Yuan was speechless at Su Nuannuan's words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
