Chapter 1287: Attracting Women’s Affection
Su Yunjin felt a surge of secret delight.
Jiang Zhizhi and the others were thus sent packing by the Prince’s wife.
Prince Ning stood by Gu Yan’s side. At first, Prince Ning had planned to personally settle this matter, but since the Prince’s wife was taking charge, Prince Ning no longer intervened.
He let the Prince’s wife handle it.
After dealing with Jiang Zhizhi and the others, the Prince’s wife turned to Su Yunjin, "Mrs. Su, I’m sorry for what you had to endure today. To prevent such incidents in the future, I will announce again at the banquet later that I’m recognizing you as my sworn sister. Once we report this to the Old Prince’s wife during the banquet and officially go through the formalities, you will then be my sworn sister."
The title of the Prince’s wife’s sworn sister was not an ordinary honor. The Prince’s wife was willing to confer such a high status on Su Yunjin. If it hadn’t been for Su Yunjin’s difficult childbirth, not only could she have been at risk, but even the child might not have been saved. Su Yunjin had not only saved her child but also her life.
Since Su Yunjin saved her and her child’s lives, the Prince’s wife was certainly willing to grant Su Yunjin a status that everyone would respect. Su Yunjin thought the Prince’s wife just said those words in passing and didn’t expect that she would actually formally recognize her as a sworn sister. Su Yunjin subconsciously wanted to decline.
"No, no, no, Your Highness, how can this be right? The status of your sworn sister is too precious. How can I, a mere tavern keeper, become the sworn sister of the Prince’s wife?" Becoming the sworn sister of the Prince’s wife would elevate her status, but at the same time, it would make her more conspicuous, and Su Yunjin did not wish to become the center of attention.
Throughout history, those who were the focus always had no good end - it is the prominent one who gets shot, and Su Yunjin didn’t want to be that target. The Prince’s wife was kind, and Su Yunjin was willing to have more interaction with her, but becoming the Prince’s wife’s sworn sister was something Su Yunjin had truly never considered. Su Yunjin refused.
