C9 The Prince Regent Is Here

"Miss, Miss…"

Su Zijin picked up the book and heard Su Mu'er's anxious voice. She looked up and sighed, "Mu Er, you need to change your habit of being in a hurry."

"Miss!" She jogged over and stood still to catch her breath before saying, "Old Master asked me to call you to the main hall."

"Hmm? What is it?" It seemed like something was wrong.

"He said that the Prince Regent is here!" Su Mu'er glanced at her expression.

Su Zijin's expression froze and she almost bit her tongue. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "The Prince Regent? Why would he come to the residence? Did he come back with Father?"

"Yes. I heard…" She paused for a moment, "I heard that the Prince Regent wanted to see Miss's fiancée, so he came back with Old Master."

Su Zijin lowered her head and hid the strange expression in her eyes. She muttered, "This is really unprecedented that the great god came to the residence personally!" She had just broken into the residence last night.

After she finished speaking, she still stood up and walked out.

In the main hall, the Prince Regent was not sitting in the seat of honor. He was sitting at the side and he was silent. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Shen Xiyue was also a little nervous. She had heard about it as well. The imperial edict could not be defied. The Prince Regent was unfathomable.

Soon, footsteps could be heard. Su Tao looked toward the door.

Su Zijin walked over with a light purple dress. She had a faint smile on her face, but there was a hint of caution in her eyes. There was a calmness that did not belong to her age.

Bei Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows, and the interest in his eyes became stronger.

“Greetings, father, mother.” He turned around and bowed to Bei Yuan Chen. “Greetings, Your Highness!”

Bei Yuan Chen’s eyes landed on her, and he looked her up and down. He laughed. “Does Miss Su have the habit of being a good wife?”

Su Zijin’s expression changed slightly, and she instantly understood that he knew that it was her last night. However, she quickly returned to normal. She tugged the corner of her mouth and asked, “What does Your Highness mean?”

“I just remembered that the little thief who barged into the mansion last night looked a bit like Miss Su.” He shifted his gaze away from her and didn’t give her a chance to speak.

Su Zijin’s expression changed slightly. She felt that her daughter had done something to him, but she didn’t ask too much.

“Your Highness, this is my daughter, Su Zijin.”

“Oh~ I know.” He turned around and looked at Su Zijin. He held a teacup in his hand. “Sit.”

The strange atmosphere in the hall made Su Mu’er nervous.

Su Zijin sat down, and her eyes flashed. She was caught by someone last night, so she was a bit guilty today, and her aura was a bit weaker.

Seeing that her parents didn’t say anything, Su Zijin said, “I wonder why Your Highness is looking for Zijin?”

Was a person who came to the Underworld Hall afraid of him?

Her cold and indifferent gaze landed on Bei Yuan Chen. When she saw the smile in his eyes, she instantly became cold. “I came to see my fiancée today, and I also want to catch a thief.”

Su Zijin’s hand suddenly tightened and her face darkened. She raised her eyes and glared at him. She was a little angry, but she managed to suppress it. She then said with a cold smile, “Your Royal Highness, this is not appropriate. How could the little thief be here? Could it be that Your Royal Highness is just finding an excuse?”

Su Taozhi looked at the two of them and felt that they were about to fight. He was shocked and wanted to say something, but he was interrupted.
