Chapter 582: Qin Ruan is the Third Younger Brother's person, he has to protect her.
Second Young Master Hou straight to the point and wanted to see Nangong Chang.
Bei Jinzhou's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
Before that, when he was upstairs, he hadn't received any instructions from Su Jingshu to take them to see Nangong Chang.
Just as he hesitated about how to politely refuse, a gentle and slightly hoarse voice came from behind.
"Second Master, if you want to see someone, there's no need to rush. Why not have a cup of tea first?"
Bei Jinzhou turned around, and behind him was Su Jingshu.
She was wearing a casual lotus-colored qipao, with her long hair loosely tied up, giving her a classic and charming look.
All the embarrassment from earlier had been tidied up neatly, and there was no trace of it.
At this moment, Su Jingshu had once again transformed into the imposing head of the Su family she used to be.
She exuded a faint bookish aura and the confidence of a leader.
Hou Yirong saw that Su Jingshu, who was in a sorry state last night after being ruthlessly dealt with by him, had quickly adjusted herself overnight. His eyebrows raised slightly.
He had to admit that this woman was quite admirable.
Among the famous ladies of the capital, there wasn't a second one as ruthless and decisive as Su Jingshu.
Hou Yirong looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Miss Su wants to see if Nangong Chang is still alive?"
His tone was cold, and his words carried an indescribable deep meaning.
Knowing Su Jingshu's temperament, if she knew that Nangong Chang had deceived her for ten years, this woman would definitely not spare him.
Of course, if she had truly fallen in love with him during these ten years, it would be a different story.
Su Jingshu raised her hand to tuck a strand of loose hair behind her ear and smiled faintly, "Second Master is joking. Young Master Nangong is doing well upstairs, and the servants are taking good care of him."
Bei Jinzhou, who was standing behind her, twitched his lips.
Since Su Jingshu returned last night, she hadn't seen Nangong Chang.
In the short time she had come downstairs, it was unlikely she had seen him either.
This was clearly a lie.
"Alright then, so we won't waste our time coming here."
Huo Yirong's expression turned subtle, and it was unclear whether he believed her or not.
He reached out to support Qin Ruan and walked to a nearby sofa.
"Younger Sister, take a rest, have some tea, and then we'll get to business."
"Sure."
Qin Ruan noticed the strangeness between Hou Yirong and Su Jingshu.
After the two sat down, the servants of the Su family brought tea.
Su Jingshu's seat was close to Qin Ruan.
She held a delicately colored teacup and her gaze fell on Qin Ruan's pregnant belly.
Qin Ruan felt Su Jingshu's eyes on her all the time.
She didn't know what was going on with this woman. Today, she seemed very interested in her.
Qin Ruan took a sip of tea and placed the teacup lightly on the table.
She looked up at Su Jingshu, and her eyes revealed an inscrutable light.
Su Jingshu met Qin Ruan's cold gaze, but her own eyes remained calm without much emotion. She smiled and said, "Third Young Madam, your belly seems to be about to give birth?"
Qin Ruan lightly touched her belly and replied casually, "About four more months."
She was pregnant with twins, so she would likely give birth earlier.
Su Jingshu absentmindedly touched the teacup in her hand, seeming a bit absent-minded, but her eyes were fixed on Qin Ruan's belly.
Her gaze was deep, as if she could see through Qin Ruan's belly and see the children inside.
Su Jingshu made small talk, "I heard that Third Madam is carrying twins?"
"Yes," Qin Ruan replied coldly, showing little interest in chatting with Su Jingshu.
Su Jingshu seemed to be oblivious to Qin Ruan's coldness and continued, "Third Master has chosen names for the children, hasn't he?"
"Sister Su, haven't you said enough?"
This time, before Qin Ruan could answer, Hou Yi Rong spoke unhappily.
He stared at Su Jingshu with a disdainful look, as if he could see through the depths of her heart and all the dirty and unspeakable thoughts within.
Su Jingshu's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, causing some tea to spill onto her lotus-colored qipao.
"Miss!" Bei Jinzhou quickly handed her a handkerchief.
"No need," Su Jingshu waved her hand and placed the teacup back on the table.
She took a deep breath and looked up, meeting Huo Yi Rong's probing gaze.
"Second Master, I have already lost all my face and dignity in front of you. I'm already living in such an undignified manner. Why do you have to keep pressuring me like this?"
"Hmph!" Hou Yirong sneered.
He stared at Su Jingshu with icy eyes and said, "Miss Su is too modest. Not only have you lost your dignity, but you are also living a miserable life."
Su Jingshu's gaze tightened, and her body trembled slightly. She tightly clenched her fist.
Her delicate face, adorned with exquisite makeup, turned pale, but she tried her best to suppress her emotions.
"Second Master, you are still so aggressive."
Hou Yirong's thin lips curved into a sinister smile, and his refined and elegant appearance revealed a wicked demeanor.
He spoke heartlessly, "You should be honored. After all, you are doing much better than ordinary women. How many women in the capital dare to dispose of outstanding scions of their families and personally take their place?"
"Second Master!"
This time, Su Jingshu couldn't maintain her composure.
This was the Su family's residence, and everyone present was her people.
Many things were well understood by all, but no one dared to bring them up.
Some things were not meant to be spoken out loud.
Once they were spoken, it would stir up restlessness among the family members, putting the Su family in danger.
Hou Yirong's words weren't blaming her; instead, they were a threat.
Su Jingshu felt anxious.
Hou Yirong glanced at Qin Ruan, who was sitting beside him, seemingly obedient.
Her face had the same calm expression as the Third Younger Brother.
This woman was the Third Younger Brother's person, and he had to protect her.
Hou Yirong leaned back on the sofa in a relaxed posture, assuming a demeanor of a big shot.
He tilted his chin up, looking down at Su Jingshu and said with a high and mighty tone, "I'm all ears, Miss Su. What do you want to say?"
