At the center of the Heavenly Phoenix City, on the street located slightly in the North, stood a grand and magnificent palace. The floor of the palace was paved with white jade, while its roof was made with glazed cyan tiles, making the palace look splendid and stunning.
It was Prince Su’s mansion. A golden plaque with three large words—Prince Su’s mansion—written in black was hanged on the door. Su Ruoxi looked at the huge courtyard. She was not able to see it clearly last night since she did not enter by the main entrance…
Today, only when she stood in front of this entrance did she realize how unfamiliar she was with this courtyard. It was actually not even the slightest bit familiar to her…
This meant that the original owner might have never left Su’s mansion in the past, or had never stood in front of the main entrance of Su’s mansion. Otherwise, she would have some memories of it…
“Who are you people? This is the Prince’s mansion. Don’t stand here unless you came for something. Hurry up and leave!” One guard reprimanded in annoyance upon seeing Su Ruoxi and her companions standing at the entrance.
“Come on, let’s go in!” She did not recognize these guards, and she was unsure if the guards recognized her, so she decided to try her luck.
Today, Su Ruoxi and her baby did not alter their looks and were using their real appearance. Since she chose to return, naturally, she would not have made things difficult for themselves by changing their appearance…
Upon seeing them not only refusing to leave but also seemingly wanting to barge into the mansion, more than ten guards rushed over in a flash to block Su Ruoxi and her companions…
“Stop right there. Who are you? How dare you barge into the Prince’s mansion without permission?” A chief guard in his thirties walked over and questioned.
“I’m looking for Su Yunqi!” Su Ruoxi answered calmly.
“How impudent! Who are you to call the Prince by his name!” The man fumed. However, upon seeing Su Ruoxi’s stunning and familiar face, he was stunned.
“You? Who are you?” The chief guard asked, feeling a little dumbfounded.
Why did this girl and Young Master look somewhat alike? Who exactly was she? As Su Zhe was the only male descendent in the Prince’s mansion, he was the most loved since he was young. From the Prince to even the servant girls and guards in the mansion, everyone had adored Su Zhe…
Hence, one could say that the people in Prince Su’s mansion had a deeper impression of Su Zhe’s looks than Su Yunqi’s looks. Even though Su Ruoxi had never met either of her parents, she could see the shock and doubt reflecting in the eyes of this guard standing in front of her…
It seemed like she somewhat resembled Father in appearance…
This was good too. This would save her from a lot of trouble…
“I am Su Ruoxi!” Su Ruoxi smiled calmly.
“Su Ruoxi? Su Ruoxi? Su… What did you say? You are Su Ruoxi? You are the Third Miss, Su Ruoxi?” the chief guard asked in shock suddenly after repeating Su Ruoxi’s name a few times.
The Third Miss of the Prince’s mansion was already dead six years ago! But because Su Ruoxi was known for being a good-for-nothing, her name was not foreign…
“That’s right! Can I go in now?” Su Ruoxi replied with a smile. Then, without waiting for the guards’ response, Su Ruoxi entered the mansion together with Mo Lian and her husband… When the chief guard finally snapped out of his daze, Su Ruoxi was already inside the mansion.
“Quick, quickly inform the Prince and Second Madam!” the chief guard ordered immediately as soon as he returned to his senses, while he hurriedly chased after Su Ruoxi…
Su Ruoxi ignored the chief guard who had caught up with her and admired the scenery in the Prince’s mansion together with her baby as they walked. It was indeed worthy of being one of the only two Prince’s mansions. The courtyard was decorated elegantly, while the two very straight, white roman columns that stood on both sides of the main entrance made the mansion seem even more majestic.
Upon entering the main entrance, the living room could be seen right in front. There were brown rosewood railings at the sides of the steps, and a rectangular reddish-brown pillar in the middle of it, making it extremely pleasing to one’s eyes.
Green bamboo wallpapers were pasted on the wall facing the South. As for the dining room, it was connected to the living room, making the two rooms seem grand and extremely spacious. A few incandescent lamps could be found on the wall as well. Su Ruoxi reckoned that at night when the lights from both rooms shone brilliantly together and were reflected by the spotlessly white floor tiles, the mansion would look like a palace even if it wasn’t one…
Su Ruoxi and her companions walked directly to the hall and sat themselves down randomly. Since she had returned, those that should appear would come to her by themselves, and she only had to face them…
Seeing that Su Ruoxi and her companions were doing as they please, the corner of the chief guard’s mouth twitched! Although this stunning beauty claimed to be the Third Miss of the Prince’s mansion, Su Ruoxi. But putting aside the fact that a person who was supposedly dead for years had suddenly reappeared, even if she really was the Third Miss, how could she be so at ease after coming back to life…
No matter what, even if the Third Miss was a good-for-nothing, she was also a Master, so there was nothing he could say. He could only stay there and observe the situation while waiting for the Prince and the rest to arrive…
Because Su Ruoxi and her companions came in the afternoon, and Prince Su Yunqi had only just exited from the imperial court at that time, so he had yet to return…
At the Prince’s mansion’s backyard, Moon Courtyard.
This was the Second Madam, Lin Yue’s, courtyard. At this moment, she and her daughters, Su Ruoqi and Su Ruolin were sitting together in worry with troubled looks…
“Mother, can Father reject the imperial edict?” Su Ruolin asked in grievance, with two streaks of tears running down her face.
“Stop crying! Your Father definitely will not let you marry a fool!” Lin Yue answered, feeling helpless.
Normally, receiving an imperial edict to bestow a marriage was an honorable event. However, the imperial edict they had just received was like a bolt of lightning, catching the three of them completely off guard…
“Mother, we absolutely cannot allow Second Sister to marry the Crown Prince, or her whole life will really be ruined! Su Ruoqi remarked, feeling extremely indignant.
“Boohoo… Mother, I don’t want to marry the Crown Prince. I rather not marry for my whole life than to marry the Crown Prince!” Su Ruolin wailed as she started to cry again…
“Ruoqi, why don’t you find the Second Prince to discuss with him and see if he has any idea on how to solve this situation?” Lin Yue looked at her eldest daughter and asked.
“Alright, then I will go and ask the Second Prince now!” Su Ruoqi nodded in agreement upon hearing her mother’s words.
“En, hurry now, and remember to come back as soon as possible!” Lin Yue exhorted.
“Mother, Mother, something bad has happened…” Su Ruoqi exclaimed, returning as soon as she just left.
“Ruoqi, why are you back? What happened?” Lin Yue and Su Ruolin looked at Su Ruoqi—who had just run in—in confusion.
“Mother, the good-for-nothing is back! She is back! She was actually not dead, and she even came back! What should we do…?” Su Ruoqi replied in shock.
Just now, when she was about to leave and look for the Second Prince, she met a guard who came to notify them just right outside. She did not believe the guard at all after hearing his words…
She felt that it must be somebody who was impersonating that good-for-nothing for money, so she had the guard to bring her directly to the lobby. Who knew that before she could even enter, she already saw Su Ruoxi sitting inside…
Other people might not recognize Su Ruoxi, but she and Ruolin would never fail to recognize her. Especially Su Ruoxi’s devastatingly beautiful face. It was the absolute thorn in her and Ruolin’s flesh…
How could a good-for-nothing be born with such beautiful features…
Hence, the moment she saw Su Ruoxi, she knew that this person was not an impersonator, but was really Su Ruoxi herself…
Hence, she did not enter the lobby at all and ran back instantly…
After hearing what Su Ruoqi had said, Lin Yue was dumbfounded. She never thought that the good-for-nothing would actually come back alive…
“Eldest Sister, are you sure you saw correctly? That day, she had jumped down from the Fallen Skies Valley right in front of our eyes! What kind of place is the Fallen Skies Valley? It was a bottomless abyss! How could she have not died from the fall? Not only that, even if she had not fallen to death, without the antidote, but the aphrodisiac in her body would also have killed her if it wasn’t cleared ok?” Su Ruolin questioned in disbelief.
