C13 To Meet with Who?(last part)

Lin Jiaoer's face turned cold instantly. Today was supposed to be a meeting between the Jiang and Lin families, yet Jiang Qixing was here to see Su Yu'an?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiaoer glared at Su Yu'an, desperate to discern how the two of them managed to meet secretly.

"This person just... how did he end up here..." Su Yu'an shyly covered her face with a handkerchief.

"Third Cousin, have you no shame? You know full well my engagement with General Jiang is set, yet you still meet him in private." Lin Jiaoer's eyes were red with anger.

After all the effort she put into securing him, he still couldn't forget Su Yu'an. The thought made Lin Jiaoer furious.

"Cousin Lin, your words might come back to haunt you. Jiang Qixing and I were engaged first, and you managed to take him. Now you come to me with this?" Su Yu'an glanced at the crowd, noticing Old Madam Su about to speak, and quickly added, "Besides, why would I want to see Jiang Qixing?"

"You didn't see him? Someone saw General Jiang come over," Lin Jiaoer stepped forward, glaring at Su Yu'an.

Su Yu'an subtly signaled to Danzhu.

Danzhu stepped forward and said, "Our Third Miss only met someone from the Second Young Master's side. He came to deliver a message and handed over a jade pendant as a gift for Third Miss. Since she isn't married to the Second Young Master yet, she couldn't accept it, but the attendant left it anyway."

Danzhu turned to Su Yu'an and said, "Miss, it's my fault. I didn't see it, and it might have accidentally fallen to the ground."

Her words were seamless. Lin Jiaoer claimed her engagement to Jiang Qixing was settled, making Su Yu'an and Jiang Qiyun's situation more certain, especially since the Jiang family had already visited.

The customs here weren't so strict, so it wasn't inappropriate for Su Yu'an and Jiang Qiyun to meet under these circumstances.

But no one believed it. When the Jiang family visited, their servants' words were overheard not just by Lvqing but also by others in the Su family.

Su Yuxi, eager to please Old Madam Su and Lin Jiaoer, sneered, "Third Miss, you didn't even plan your lie. Second Young Master Jiang didn't visit that day, so how could he have sent someone to speak with you?"

"An engagement isn't the same as a betrothal. If you're really confused, Second Sister, you could ask the attendants around Second Young Master Jiang," Su Yu'an replied, glancing at Su Yuxi. "Besides, are you saying Second Young Master Jiang doesn't want to marry me? That's news to me."

"You can't wait to marry into the Marquis Mansion, so you'd pretend not to know even if you did," Su Yuxi retorted with an eye roll.

"Grandmother!" Su Yu'an ignored Su Yuxi and turned to Old Madam Su. "Is what Second Sister said true? If it is... Grandmother, I know you care for me, but we shouldn't force the Rongyang Marquis Mansion and bring trouble to the Su family because of me!"

Su Yu'an turned slightly and then leaned on Danzhu's shoulder with a hint of grievance. Her delicate frame trembled a bit, making it seem like she was deeply upset. But only Danzhu knew that she was actually amused.

Offending the Marquis Mansion? If the Su family were to refuse this marriage proposal, it would be the Jiang family they’d be offending. Although the Su family has a concubine in the palace, the Jiang family's title was earned through hard work and bravery. Even if they aren't as influential as they once were, they aren't a family you can simply accept or reject at will.
