Chapter 304: His Background

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When they came out of the palace, it was already dusk.

The evening breeze carried a hint of coldness.

Su MO stood quietly beside the carriage at the entrance of the palace in a silver cloak.

The daughters walked out one after another and could not help but size him up.

The eldest son of the Su family was well-versed in both civil and military matters. He was elegant like jade and came from a noble background. He was deeply valued by the emperor. Which girl in the world did not want to marry such a husband?

The daughters blushed.

Su Xiaoxiao slowly walked behind everyone.

Suddenly, a young lady fell a few steps behind and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her. “Miss Qin, how did you do today?”

“My surname is Su,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“Ah.” The young lady was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao had no intention of building a relationship with others and walked over calmly.

Not long after, another daughter came over. “Miss Su, this is your first time in the palace, right? You played well today. I heard that you almost won.”

“You seem to have been watching Qin Yanran’s chess game the entire time, right?”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her and noticed her red cheeks and flickering eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Su MO again and understood.

Could it be that they were trying to use her?

Seven or eight daughters came over and chatted enthusiastically with Su Xiaoxiao. Those who didn’t know better would think that Su Xiaoxiao was some new favorite.

Su Xiaoxiao came to Su Mo.

The daughters greeted Su MO shyly. “Young Master Su.”

Su MO returned the greeting politely. He was not cold, but he was not too enthusiastic. He retained the self-restraint that a descendant of an aristocratic family should have.

“Get in,” Su MO said to Su Xiaoxiao.

He turned around, lifted the curtain, and reached out to help Su Xiaoxiao into the carriage.

Not far away, Qin Yanran saw that Su MO had no qualms about being close to Su Xiaoxiao. She could not help but clench the handkerchief in her hand.

When she was Su MO’s cousin, Su MO never crossed the line.

Strictly speaking, this was not overstepping. The two families were relatives, to begin with. Su MO took care of Su Xiaoxiao as a sibling would and did not mix anything else.

However, the more this was the case, the more Qin Yanran felt a huge difference.

So Su MO could treat someone like this. He could ignore the rules, and his status, and be fearless of gossip. “Miss, get in the car.”

Xu Qing’s voice came from behind.

Qin Yanran looked at the Su family’s carriage and muttered, “Has Young Master Su been waiting outside the palace and never left?” “Yes,” Xu Qing said. Qin Yanran felt a little aggrieved. “Is she that good?” Xu Qing did not answer.

In the carriage, Su MO handed Su Xiaoxiao a water bag.

Su Xiaoxiao was indeed thirsty.

“Thanks.” She took it and gulped it down.

Su MO looked at her eating and drinking whenever she wanted and was never worried about destroying her image. He couldn’t help but laugh. “Is there no water in the palace?”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Yes, but is that for people to drink? It’s for show, right?”

She was only brought a small cup at a time. The other daughters only took a small sip to moisten their throats before putting it back. She drank them all, but it was not enough to quench her thirst.

Su MO smiled. “Drink slowly. There’s more.”

Su Xiaoxiao agreed. “Yes.”

Su MO asked, “What did you have to do in the selection?”

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “Qin, chess, calligraphy… chess.”

Su MO opened a jar of walnuts. “How did you do?”

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed a walnut. “Not bad.”

Su MO remarked, “You’re not telling the truth.”

After Su MO sent Su Xiaoxiao back to Pear Blossom Lane, he went to deal with the official matters that had been delayed during the day.
