Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 79 - 78: The Moving Dispute

Princess Jing at this moment had a friendly demeanor, reverting to how she was when Su Juan first married into the Prince Jing Mansion, even bringing out a wooden box, trying to give it to Su Juan, looking every bit the good mother-in-law.

Song Qianhang watched, not believing it. Mother doesn’t appear to dislike Su Juan now?

I see; she just doesn’t like Su Juan as my brother’s wife.

Su Juan smiled and withdrew her hand, not taking the wooden box, knowing that it probably contained some silver notes.

"Thank you, Princess Consort, but since we’re to separate, it’s not appropriate to use the Prince Mansion’s carriage anymore, nor is it proper to take things from the Prince Mansion. If word gets out, it won’t sound nice."

[Later, everyone will think I’m unwilling to let go of the wealth and splendor of the Prince Mansion, which is not good.]

Princess Jing was taken aback, seeming not to have expected that Su Juan actually wanted to sever ties thoroughly, not even taking the silver notes. After all, there was gossip in the capital that the Su Family didn’t treat her well; these silver notes were meant kindly for her to settle down.

After all, she’s only a Sixth Rank Official now, and is separating; how far can a young woman get?

But since she doesn’t want them, insisting further would make me seem overbearing.

She handed the wooden box to the maid beside her and said to Su Juan, "In that case, the road ahead is yours alone; take care."

Su Juan bowed slightly, "Su Juan thanks the Princess Consort for the care over the past half year. May you and your family enjoy good health. I take my leave now."

Princess Jing felt complex emotions. She did quite like this daughter-in-law, though she was a bit too unique, causing too much trouble for the Prince Jing Mansion. If only she could...

[Excluding Song Qianfan.]

Song Qianhang: "..." She sure doesn’t miss a chance to distance herself from my brother.

Princess Jing was slightly stunned, not understanding the meaning behind the words at first. Upon realizing, her face darkened again. Never mind, it’s just not suitable!

"Hurry and leave; I won’t see you off." This weighty presence, our Prince Jing Mansion can’t hold. Only after she leaves will there be peace!

Seeing Princess Jing’s attitude change again, Su Juan was not surprised.

But Song Qianhang said, "Mother, let me see her off."

Princess Jing: "?"

By this time, Song Qianhang’s carriage was already brought over, luxurious and conspicuous, in no way inferior to Xie Xun’s. Princess Jing’s face changed.

He smiled, "Let’s go; I’ll drop you off at the Su Mansion on my way."

Su Juan’s forehead twitched, [This fool, can he read the room or does he just choose not to?]

[The look on Princess Jing’s face is as dark as a pot bottom used in the kitchen!]

Song Qianhang, however, selectively ignored it. It’s just seeing someone off; no big deal!

Just at that moment, two carriages arrived, one after the other, and stopped at the Prince Jing Mansion’s gate. One of the carriages was a match to Song Qianhang’s.

Xie Xun hopped off the carriage, dressed in red, with several ornaments at his waist. Shaking his fan, he approached Su Juan with two young servants, smiling, "Su, my dad asked me to bring you to stay at our Duke Mansion. I only brought two servants; I hope that’s enough."

"Since Song Qianhang is here, I didn’t bring more people."

Xie Xun squinted, looking at Song Qianhang; here’s a ready laborer.

Su Juan’s forehead twitched, [This guy is so ostentatious.]

Xie Xun shook his fan, his smiling eyes slightly narrowed, quite the show, but just two carriages, how is that ostentatious?

Princess Jing was still somewhat dazed at seeing Xie Xun. When did this daughter-in-law get so close with the Duke Mansion?

Seeing Xie Xun so attentive, Song Qianhang felt uneasy, "No need to trouble you; I’ll take her home."

But Xie Xun waved his hand, "That won’t do. My old man told me to fetch her; can’t let you snatch her away."

Song Qianhang’s face darkened; who exactly is snatching from whom?

At this moment, another carriage leisurely approached and stopped at the Prince Jing Mansion’s gate. Liu Miaoying lifted the curtain and called out to Su Juan, "Ah Juan."

Supported by a maid, she got off the carriage, nodded at Princess Jing, and took Su Juan’s hand, "I heard you’re moving today. I’ve come to help."

Before Su Juan could speak, two more carriages arrived at the gate, both just fitting thanks to the ample space in front of the Prince Jing Mansion.

Minister Mo from the Ministry of Revenue and Earl Shengping got off their carriages. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they walked over, "Princess Jing."

Princess Jing slightly nodded. What brought these two here?

Minister Mo greeted, "Xiao Su, I heard you were moving today and thought since I was free, I’d come lend a hand."

Earl Shengping laughed, glancing around, "I came to help too; didn’t expect the Prince Mansion to have so many guests today."

Look at that, Duke Mansion’s carriage, Secretary Mansion’s carriage, quite the gathering.

Su Juan remained silent, [These people must have planned to come together; their timing is impeccable. One might think they camped out here since morning.]

[How did news leak out?]

The group exchanged glances. Xie Xun shook his fan, "I got up early, and brought two young servants. You’re either ladies or elders; how could Su let you move things? Go back home."

[Indeed, it’s inappropriate! You better head back home.]

But Liu Miaoying replied, "Mr. Xie is still an outsider and a man; sharing a carriage might not be suitable."

[Indeed, inappropriate! Head back.]

Xie Xun squinted, "Miss Liu misunderstood; I have two carriages."

Come on, when Xie does something, he makes sure everything is covered; how could he overlook such a detail?

Minister Mo interjected, "You’re all still kids, don’t you worry about your elders at home? As for me, I’m Xiao Su’s colleague."

Earl Shengping followed up, "Indeed, my wife reminded me last night to make sure to help today, so you all should go back."

Song Qianhang got anxious right away. He knew that Countess Shengping had shown interest in Su Juan before. She wouldn’t be trying to make her move now knowing Su Juan is separating?

"No need for you all; I’ve already arranged it with Su. I’ve got a carriage ready."

Xie Xun chuckled, "I’ve got two."

The others looked at the carriages behind them, then at Song Qianhang. Who doesn’t have a carriage ready?

Su Juan rubbed her forehead, [No need, no need...]

Facing such competitive enthusiasm, she didn’t know when she became so popular. Going through a separation, moving house, and so many people came to help.

She sighed lightly, "You all should go back; I don’t have much stuff. Hiring a carriage myself will suffice. I appreciate all your kindness."

The group insisted, "No way. We’ve got to help with this!"

Thinking Su was worried they’d quarrel, they stopped arguing, "Alright, we’ll all help with the moving."

"I think that’s a good idea. Everyone takes a bit, and it’ll be quick."

"Yes, yes, let’s hurry up. Maybe we can catch dinner."

Song Qianhang, aware there were just two small boxes, was speechless: "..."

Su Juan: "..." What’s all this about dinner?

It’s only Chen hour now... In modern times, that’s just 8 AM!
