Chapter 762 The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (31)
When Su Xiangran received the news that the engagement was successfully broken off, she was checking the seeds that Zhou Tianyu sent her yesterday.
Most of the seeds are collected from overseas.
"Miss, what kind of seeds are these?" Qing'e was a little curious, "Other noble families seem to like to give gifts of jewelry, silk and satin..."
Su Xiangran smiled. Indeed, this person was quite different. He didn't send flowers but a bunch of flower seeds instead.
Fortunately, she has the ability to identify seeds, otherwise this thing would be useless.
"Sister!" Su Ruoxu walked into the yard with an embarrassed look on his face, "I just got off work and came to give you a message."
"What's so serious?" Su Xiangran actually already had some guesses, but she still wanted to hear it from her brother himself.
"Xiao Ran, your engagement with the Third Prince has been called off." Su Ruoxu spoke in a low voice. His sister and the Third Prince had been engaged for many years, and it could basically be said that they were engaged as children.
Now that things have come to this, and the marriage has been snatched away by the Yin sisters, Su Ruoxu is very afraid that his sister will not be able to bear the blow.
"I expected it." Su Xiangran acted very calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Su Ruoxu looked at his sister with some surprise. He originally thought that his sister would be very sad and even cry.
"Brother, don't worry about me. I just regarded the Third Prince as my brother." Su Xiangran smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in her smile.
Seeing how strong his sister was, Su Ruoxu felt relieved, but still a little worried: "Xiang Ran, are you really okay? If you have any concerns, please tell me."
Su Xiangran shook her head gently, indicating that she was really fine.
Then, she changed the subject and asked tentatively, "By the way, brother, after the Third Prince and I break off the engagement, who will be his future queen?"
Hearing this question, Su Ruoxu immediately perked up and excitedly told Su Xiangran the whole story.
It turned out that after this incident, the third prince finally decided on Yin Yufei as his principal wife.
Yin Yufei's aunt was promoted to a co-wife because she helped the two men succeed.
Su Ruoxu's tone was full of gloating: "Yin Caiwei is in a terrible situation now. She has lost her reputation and cannot be the main wife. She really loses more than she gains.
Not only was her own reputation ruined, but she also helped others, benefiting Yin Yufei, while she herself only got the status of a concubine. "
Noble concubine? This is one of the lowest statuses in the prince's mansion, only slightly higher than a maidservant.
With Yin Caiwei's identity, she should at least be given the title of a concubine!
Unexpectedly, this matter would fall into the hands of Princess Fu'an. How cruel!
After listening to this, Su Xiangran couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Yin Caiwei had planned too well, which led to this end. However, she also reaped the fruits of her own actions."
Su Ruoxu looked at his sister and felt slightly relieved when he saw that she didn't seem unhappy about it.
The news from Zhou Wenyu came earlier, after all, he had his own methods involved.
"Master, you have been reading this letter for a long time. Do you want me to keep it for you?" The old butler found that his master had been acting a little abnormal since he received the news from the capital.
This letter is almost tearing my eyes out, but I keep reading it.
Zhou Wenyu glared at him and said, "What do you know? This is the best news I have received recently."
In fact, the old butler could understand his young master's thoughts. He was in his twenties, a high-ranking official in the court, and had a good family background.
Logically speaking, this should be a good time to be in high spirits.
If one had heard these points, the young master would have been sought after by many ladies in the capital, but he ended up being branded as a wife-killer.
I finally fell in love with a girl, but it turned out that she had a fiancé.
Now that Miss Su is not engaged, this is a good opportunity for her young master!
"Housekeeper, come and take a look." Zhou Wenyu showed the old housekeeper a flower pot in his hand. "Last time you said it was not good to send seeds. This time I will plant the plants and send them over after they sprout. Do you think this is a good idea?"
The old butler, who just thought that his young master would eventually reap the rewards of his hard work, suddenly felt a black screen before his eyes.
"Master, why don't you give me something else?" the old housekeeper advised tactfully, "Rouge and powder, silk and satin, hairpins and rings, there are so many things that can be given as gifts. We have money, so you can just pick something and give it to me."
"Didn't I send the cloth from Dongge some time ago?" Zhou Wenyu said with some distress, "But I haven't seen Miss Su wearing clothes made of the cloth I sent her during several outings."
Zhou Wenyu was even more troubled: "Obviously those fabrics are the most fashionable in Beijing."
Old housekeeper: You always ask people to go to the fields to check on the crops, or go fishing by the river, or go to the stable to check on the horses.
In which of these places can one wear overly complicated clothing?
Fortunately, Miss Su is willing to pay attention to you. If it were any other girl, she would have ignored you long ago. However, if you continue to behave like this, you will probably be sentenced to "imprisonment without a wife" soon.
