Chapter 1438 - 257, Grant of Mandate (54)
"I can’t believe how quickly Big Brother changes his mind," Su Qiuyu said subconsciously, blinking in realization before speaking in a frustrated tone, "Oh, it’s nothing. I had asked her to help me deal with that little bitch Lin Yuan, but Cousin didn’t want to meddle in my affairs. Humph, if she doesn’t want to care about my business, then why should I answer her questions? I won’t tell her anything!"
Su Tianyou turned back in surprise, "What did she ask you?"
Pouting, Su Qiuyu seemed to find an outlet for her complaints in front of her elder brother, "Cousin asked if the Crown Prince had been to our mansion when he got into trouble years ago, and whether I remember seeing anything. How long ago was that? How could I remember? Was I even ten years old at the time? Hey, I can’t even remember my own age, let alone remember that accurately."
"What does she need that for?"
Su Qiuyu was so engrossed in complaining about Princess Cuiwei’s lack of sympathy for not dealing with Lin Yuan that she didn’t even notice the unusual tension in Su Tianyou’s voice when he asked the question.
"Who knows? I told her I was too young to remember, and then she stopped asking. Oh right, Cousin also warned me not to tell anyone else. Oh no, how could I forget! Big Brother, you mustn’t tell anyone else, especially Second Brother, he can’t keep his mouth shut, make sure he doesn’t find out. If Cousin Cuiwei finds out I didn’t keep my promise, she will definitely scold me."
As Su Qiuyu continued to ramble to herself, she didn’t notice that Su Tianyou had already stiffly left the garden.
Finally, the palace banquet was over, and the Lin Yuan Sisters hurried onto the carriage, rushing home. Nothing mattered more than catching dinner at their place. They spent the entire day in the palace with only desserts and tea, and now, after eagerly waiting for the banquet to start, let’s just say, the food was disappointing.
