Su Han’s eyes were filled with gratitude as she drifted off to sleep peacefully.
What she needed to do now was to focus on recovering her health.
The next day, just as Su Yingxue finished dealing with the household affairs, Zhilan came to inform her, “Miss, the Regional Prince’s Mansion has sent Miss Han’s dowry and a hundred thousand taels of silver.”
Su Yingxue’s lips curled up. “Their actions are very swift.”
She hurried to the courtyard where Qin Wan and Su Dingwei were staying. Qin Wan had already checked with Zhifen, and all of Su Han’s dowry was there. Even the family jade bracelet that Su Han said had been stolen by Min Jia and returned by Qin Wan was there, along with other boxes piled up in half the courtyard, neatly stacked with a hundred thousand taels of silver.
Chu Xiaotian’s face darkened upon seeing Su Yingxue, but he had no choice but to address her, “Su Yingxue, this is what Han’er wanted. I’ve already sent it all as compensation for her. When will you allow her to return to my residence with me?”
“Sister is recuperating. With her injuries, she cannot move or work. Your Highness should be aware of this, correct?” Su Yingxue replied casually.
“Then you should at least let me see her!” Chu Xiaotian couldn’t help but look anxious. The longer Su Han stayed away from him, the more uncomfortable he felt, longing to hold her in his arms as soon as possible.
“I’m sorry, sister doesn’t want to see you. Your Highness, please leave,” Su Yingxue said with a smile, once again escorting Chu Xiaotian out of the manor.
She then went to the medicine hut to inform Su Han of the news and brought along the family jade bracelet.
Su Han placed the bracelet back on her wrist, looking pleased. “I thought 1 would never get this back.”
“Sister, this is only a small portion of what you can reclaim. What they owe you must be repaid one by one!” Su Yingxue’s lips curled sharply.
Naturally, Chu Xiaotian was not satisfied with being chased away. Fortunately, Chu Chengye was helping him. Liang Jin’s investigation progress was slow, encountering obstacles along the way.
Chu Chengye had always thought that this would make Su Yingxue anxious, and she would try to help Su Han leave the Regional Prince’s Mansion as soon as possible.
There would always be a flaw to follow.
However, on the contrary, not only was Su Yingxue not anxious, she was so calm that he couldn’t understand it.
On the day Chu Chengye was confused by Su Yingxue’s behavior, she was once again enjoying delicacies at the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.
Chu Yihan fed her mouthful by mouthful. Su Yingxue touched her gradually rounding belly, dodging Chu Yihan’s chopsticks. “Enough, Your Highness. If you keep feeding me, I’ll become a ball.”
Chu Yihan pinched her face, not entirely satisfied. “Your body is still so slender.
I’ll find another world-renowned chef to nourish you.”
Su Yingxue licked the oil from her lips. “Your Highness, please spare me!”
If she gained weight, how would he be able to carry her in the future?
Of course, Su Yingxue didn’t dare to utter such embarrassing words. Chu Yihan dragged her out for a walk in the garden, and they began discussing serious matters. “Have the Shadow Guards found Su Jinxuan’s hiding place?”
Chu Yihan nodded. “You can go see him tomorrow, but 1’11 have the Shadow Guards protect you. You don’t have to worry about them leaking any information.”
“I’ve never worried about Your Highness’s people. Once we find Su Jinxuan, my sister’s case will be much easier to solve,” Su Yingxue said, placing her hand on her bloated stomach.
She had waited for a few days without acting quickly, wanting to give Su Han time to recover so that she could seek justice for herself in court..
