After watching Ma Junying leave, Lin Yuan shrugged her shoulders and looked down at her younger sister with a deep gaze, "Yaya, you seem to harbor quite a deep animosity towards Young Master Ma?"

Xiao Linshuang pursed her lips, and curled her mouth, "Not at all, I just don’t like the idea of him becoming my brother-in-law, that’s all."

Lin Yuan was taken aback, then burst into laughter, amused by the thought. What exactly was this little girl thinking? Did she really seem like the sort of woman to flirt around so carelessly?

Stretching out a finger, she poked her little sister on the forehead and said with a teasing smile, "You, at such a young age, you’ve got such wild thoughts.

He’s from the same hometown as us; do you expect me to see him and run away?

Come on, rest assured, is a brother-in-law someone you can just casually replace? "

Did that mean a brother-in-law couldn’t be casually replaced?

Xiao Linshuang giggled happily and hugged her older sister’s arm tightly.

Those words were not only pleasant for Xiao Linshuang to hear, but even Dong Qing couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

Lin Yuan was not someone who was good at expressing herself, and she had never said even a single word about love in front of Xia Zheng; the sentence she just said was probably the most heartfelt she had ever uttered.

Dong Qing’s eyes rolled, thinking that tonight upon returning to the mansion, he must convey this phrase exactly as it was to Young Master Xia. He was certain that Young Master Xia would be so happy that he’d laugh himself awake from his dreams.

"Let’s go! To the streets for a walk!" Lin Yuan called out loudly as she took Lin Wei and the others by the hands, "Let’s see what kind of marvelous fabrics the Capital city’s clothing stores have!"

The sisters merrily headed towards the bustling streets.

Because they were in such a hurry, they didn’t even notice a pair of eyes in a carriage at the street corner watching them closely.

"Miss, you see I wasn’t wrong, that village girl really did come to the Capital! And she brought so many sisters with her!"

Yaner huffed with indignation, cursing, "That village girl really has no shame, to think she could have an everlasting relationship with Young Master Xia just because she’s in the Capital?

Doesn’t she look at her own behavior! The Capital is your territory, Miss Su; she really chose heaven with no gate to enter, opting instead for the gateless hell! "

Knowing that she hadn’t mishandled this situation, Yaner was extremely pleased with herself, cursing with great satisfaction.

However, Su Qiuyu’s mind wasn’t on what Yaner was saying.

She scoffed coldly, "Hah, truly walking into gateless hell indeed! This wretched girl just arrived in the Capital and she’s already being improper with other men.

If Brother Zheng finds out, do you think he will be so angry that he’ll chase her out of the Capital? "

"Ah?" Yaner was stunned for a moment, feeling like she was unable to follow her mistress’s line of thought, "Miss, she wasn’t being improper, they were just talking, and didn’t she have others around her...?"

"If I say it’s improper, it’s improper!" Su Qiuyu interrupted Yaner coldly, "Yes, she had others with her, even Dong Qing, but who saw them? Did Brother Zheng see them? Besides, how long has Dong Qing known this wretched girl? Does he understand her?"

A sly smile crossed Su Qiuyu’s lips. As long as she seized the opportunity to quickly inform Xia Zheng of this matter, he would definitely take issue with Lin Yuan! Even if Dong Qing tried to explain later, what of it?

Hmph! Su Qiuyu snorted coldly. Although she had not had many encounters with Lin Yuan, their interactions were not few.

That village girl, despite her appearance, had a strong personality and couldn’t stand a speck of sand in her eyes.

As soon as Xia Zheng questioned her, it would achieve the result she desired.

What’s the most important thing for a woman? It’s the trust a man places in her! The moment Xia Zheng asked, it would signal his distrust of her, and given her knowledge of the village girl, she would undoubtedly turn her back on him.

"Let’s go, to the General Mansion," commanded Su Qiuyu, dropping the curtain of the carriage and ordering the coachmen to hurry toward the General Mansion.

The General Mansion wasn’t a place just anyone could enter, but Su Qiuyu was an exception.

She had grown up playing in the General Mansion with her second brother Su Tianrui, and everyone had initially thought that Second Young Lady of the future would be this Miss Su.

But things did not turn out as expected.

Nevertheless, they all still treated her as a regular visitor to the General Mansion, never making things difficult for her.

"Where is the second son?"

Seeing Su Qiuyu in such a fluster, the young servant at the door barely recognized her. Was this the always gentle and frail Miss Su?

"Miss," Yaner hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

It was then that Su Qiuyu realized she was being somewhat unladylike. She frowned slightly, and her voice took on a more melodious tone, "Is the princess at the mansion?"
