Chapter 122: Who Is the Man Beside You?

Chen's gaze.But this courage, just vanished after a moment.As if realizing she couldn't argue with Li Chen, Su Jinpa resignedly got up and walked to the piano, coldly asking, "What do you want to hear...Chapter 122: Who is the Man Beside You

"No need for formalities."

Li Chen waved his hand, looking at Su Jinpa behind Su Pingbei with a half-smile. "Why, Jinpa doesn't greet this palace"

Su Jinpa puffed out her cheeks, feeling that the prince before her grew more and more annoying the longer she looked at him. However, there was no other way, so she could only lower her head and bow respectfully.

"Su Jinpa has met His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince."

"No need for gifts."

Li Chen looked at Su Pingbei and said, "You're not on duty at the Imperial Guard, so why are you still at home"

This tone is rather like a modern-day boss catching a lazy employee.

Su Pingbei's face turned grim, and he clasped his fists together. "To be honest, there are many things to attend to at home. Before I came, I had already asked for leave. Now I'm planning to go back."

Li Chen gave Su Jinpa a meaningful look.

The Great General's Mansion was not prosperous. Su Zhen'ting's original wife, and the biological mother of his siblings, had passed away early. Although Su Zhen'ting later took several concubines, anyone with discernment could see that it was merely a formality to appease appearances. For many years, there were no sons or daughters born from these relationships, as he poured all his love and attention onto his siblings.

Therefore, if Su Jinpa had anything bothering her, she could only confide in Su Pingbei.

Then go.

Li Chen immediately drove away his future brother-in-law.

Su Pingbei glanced at Su Jinping before bowing to Li Chen and saying, "Then this general... will take his leave."

After bidding farewell, Su Ping rode north out of the General's Mansion. As soon as he mounted his horse, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

As expected, the Crown Prince still favors his younger sister. He came over early in the morning just to meet her.

It's ridiculous to think my sister, so intelligent and practically a female Zhuge Liang, would expect me to stand by her and cause trouble.

It's nonsense to talk about pursuing the kind of love you imagine.

To have a brother-in-law who is currently the crown prince and will be emperor in the future, isn't that amazing

Su Pingbei, who has already tasted the feeling of clinging to powerful figures, is unwilling to let go of Li Chen, this dazzlingly bright and wealthy figure, so he sold his own sister without hesitation.

Within the General's Mansion, Su Pingbei took a step forward, and Su Jinpa immediately wanted to take her leave and return to her own boudoir.

"Follow me."

Li Chen, however, spoke first, cutting off Su Jinpa's words.

"Where to" Su Jinpa asked, her eyes widening.

"You could be sold out, couldn't you"

Li Chen said, and he pulled up Su Jinpa's wrist and walked towards the General's Mansion.

"Haven't you noticed that I'm dressed in plain clothes today Earlier, the Ninth Prince and his entourage set off to provide disaster relief. Why don't you come with me to have a look and see how much effort they've put into it"

Even Su Jinpa, who initially wanted to refuse, couldn't help but feel touched by the words.

Ancient women had extremely strict rules, but since Su Zhenting doted on her very much, he overlooked many of them, allowing her to move relatively freely in and out of the general's mansion.

If a woman were from an ordinary family, she would generally not be allowed to go out after reaching the age of puberty.

"Your Highness, let me go. Like this, like this, going out, people will gossip."

Su Jin was naturally free-spirited, but she also understood the boundaries between men and women. Right now, with Li Chen holding her wrist, she had already crossed the line. She quickly said,

"Small talk"

Li Chen said without the slightest relaxation, "Who says they chew their tongues This palace will pull out their tongues and see who dares to gossip about you."

As they spoke, the two had already left the general's mansion.

Outside the door, two fine steeds had already been prepared. Just as Li Chen was about to help Su Jinpa onto her horse, a surprised voice laced with bitterness came over.

"Miss Su... Miss Su, but who is the man beside you"ding. All the good things about the prince are the result of his hard work day by day. When they say it like this, it sounds as if he got everything for nothing. They don’t see the effort he puts in b...
