Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Chapter 234 Temporary allies

Rong Mingxuan's gaze lingered on the empty wall for a long time, his mind filled with the figure of the woman. She gently praised the hibiscus. Did she also like this flower?

He turned slowly and faced a row of blooming hibiscus. The pink petals swayed gently in the breeze, making subtle sounds. His expression became gentle, as if even his mood had calmed down along with the flowers.

Baili Yue walked out quickly, feeling very annoyed that someone had seen him climbing over the wall.

At the same time, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Duke's Mansion. Its luxury was no less than the fourth prince's previous carriage. Although it did not have gorgeous dragon and phoenix decorations, the overall design was low-key and steady.

Everyone looked over, especially Rong He, whose eyes were particularly sharp as he stared at the carriage.

"It's the Su family's carriage!" someone whispered.

"Miss, we're here." Yu Shu pulled aside the curtain, got out of the car first, and then helped Ye Yunzi walk out slowly.

Ye Yunzi wore a moon-white gown with a lake-blue skirt, looking elegant and generous. When she lowered her head, her eyes, shaded by her long eyelashes, added a bit of charm. She is no longer the naive little girl, but now more mature and steady, with a calm look that makes people's heart beat.

"It's the young lady of the Su Mansion, Ye Yunzi."

"The one next to him is Mr. Su's son, Su Huan." A servant whispered in the ears of Old Master Rong and Rong He.

Hearing this, Rong He's eyes flashed with surprise, and his gaze fell directly on the man behind Ye Yunzi. Su Yongyu actually had a son? Could it be that he had already started a family outside?

When he saw Su Huan's appearance, he was even more shocked. Su Huan had a pair of deep purple eyes and fair skin, which was completely different from the people in the capital.

Ye Yunzi and Su Huan slowly approached, "Duke Rong."

Rong He was speechless for a moment and stared at Su Huan with a complicated expression.

Su Huan saw his confusion and said calmly, "Father was unable to come in person due to some matters, so he specially sent the two of us to come and congratulate him."

"Are you really Su Yongyu's son?" Rong He asked.

Su Huan paused for a moment and nodded gently, "That's right. I was abandoned when I was young, but fortunately my father adopted me and raised me with all his heart." His tone was firm and without hesitation, as if he had already been accustomed to such self-introductions.

He did not feel ashamed about being someone else's adopted son. Instead, he was full of gratitude to Su Yongyu and was willing to become a member of the Su family.

Ronghe's expression changed several times, and after listening to the explanation, he finally understood, "So that's how it is."

He originally thought that Su Yongyu already had someone in his heart and had married another wife, but he didn't expect... He clenched his fists, and then he understood why Wei Yang was so happy and smiling every time he mentioned Su Yongyu.

Since Su Yongyu is not married yet, it means there is still a chance.

He has been unmarried for many years, obviously because he has someone in his heart.

Wei Yang thought, if the person Su Yongyu loved was her, then no matter what happened, she would not give up this time.

"He'er." Old Master Rong reminded.

Ronghe then realized that he had lost his composure in front of outsiders. He forced a smile and invited the two into the house.

Ye Yunzi walked into the hall and immediately attracted everyone's attention. When the Seventh Prince Baili Yan saw her, his eyes lit up. She was always so radiant and looked calm at all times.

Baili Yan walked slowly towards her and stood beside her. Ye Yunzi did not show any sense of distance, looked up at him, and asked calmly: "How is the Seventh Prince these days?"

"Very good." Baili Yan nodded in response.

Thanks to their help, Concubine Xian was released from the cold palace and received generous rewards from the emperor, which made his position in the court more stable.

Before this, Su Yongyu was arrested and imprisoned, Princess Wei Yang also fell into a coma, the situation suddenly changed, and it was finally revealed that the maid around Concubine Wu was actually a traitor.

Although the news was blocked, he still investigated and found out that the maid was actually a spy hidden in the palace.

Baili Yan was confused by this and didn't understand why the people around Concubine Wu would become spies. With the personalities of Concubine Wu and Baili Ye, it was impossible for them to leave any potential threats.

He looked at Ye Yunzi, his mind full of questions.

Ye Yunzi lowered her eyes slightly, as if she could see through his thoughts, and said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. We are only temporary allies. We are in the same boat. If the boat capsizes, no one can escape unscathed."

"Just a temporary ally?"

"Yes." Ye Yunzi answered calmly.

Baili Yan frowned, "Why do you say it's temporary? Will you betray me?"

Ye Yunzi had a blank expression on her face, and remained consistent. Her tone was calm but firm: "At present, our goals are the same, so we can naturally cooperate. But once power is in hand, people's hearts are changeable, and no one knows who will be regarded as a threat at that time." This was a lesson she had personally experienced in her previous life - Shen Yuming needed to rely on the power of the Su family in the early days, but in the end it was he who destroyed the Su family with his own hands.

"So, Your Highness, it's best not to get too close to me, and don't treat me as one of your own kind, otherwise you might be worse than a stranger in the near future..."

Although Ye Yunzi's words were calm, they were like the tip of a sharp knife piercing his heart, causing him to feel a sharp pain. He himself did not understand why.

He only hoped that this dazzling woman would notice him, and if he had the ability in the future, he would give her all the good things.

Baili Yan was unable to speak for a long time facing Ye Yunzi. The feeling of being pushed away made him very uncomfortable. He knew that she only had Shen Siyan in her heart and only trusted Shen Siyan.

In the end, Baili Yan left with a lost mood.

Just after seeing Baili Yan off, another uninvited guest approached.

Baili Ye walked slowly to Ye Yunzi's side, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes, "It seems that Miss Ye and my seventh brother are very close..."

"It's okay, we've only met a few times." Ye Yunzi looked up at Baili Ye. What happened today? Why did he come to see her one after another? She attended the banquet just to see Rong Wanling.

Soon, Baili Ye will be engaged to Rong Wanling.

Ye Yunzi's eyes became deep, as if to say that the Fourth Prince never cared about anyone. He only had power in his heart. He would do his best to win over anyone he could use, even if it meant marrying a completely strange woman.

At this moment, a clear voice interrupted her thoughts, "Yunzi, Fourth Brother."

When Ye Yunzi heard the familiar voice, she looked towards Baili Yue who was walking not far away.

"Princess Thirteen is here too?"

"Yes, I begged for a long time before Fourth Brother agreed to bring me here." Baili Yue said enthusiastically. Among the many noble ladies in the capital, she liked Ye Yunzi the most and regarded her as a confidant. "Are you here alone?"

"No, Su Huan is here too."

"Oh." Baili Yue's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Baili Ye noticed the change in Baili Yue's expression and his face became even gloomier.
