Chapter 377: Chapter 378: More Like Strangers than a Married Couple
Su Yan couldn’t help but a thought flashed through her mind.
If the Emperor were to wage war against their family, she wondered who would erge victorious.
Chu Yuxiao walked along without a sideways glance, seemingly unfazed by it all.
As the three of them walked along the corridor, they were approached by a woman dressed in white garnts.
Supported by a maidservant, she took small, delicate steps, moving slowly, her gaze nonchalantly wandering from left to right.
She appeared to be in her early twenties, her skin very pale, not the natural fairness, but the pallor of soone who hadn’t seen the sun in a long ti.
Her facial features were graceful and exquisite, her phoenix eyes brimming with a quiet charm, seemingly capable of speech, sparkling with a lively radiance.
Upon seeing them, the woman paused for a mont, then stopped in her tracks without proceeding further.
Xuanyuan Bei strode forward to her and, holding her hand, spoke with doting reprimand,
“Your health hasn’t recovered yet, why have you co out?”
Turning to the maidservant at her side, his tone beca more stern,
“Xiao Huan, how are you attending to the lady? Don’t you know she shouldn’t be exposed to the wind when she’s unwell?”
“My Lord, please forgive . I know my mistake,” Xiao Huan quickly bowed her head, timidly admitting her fault.
The woman glanced indifferently at Xuanyuan Bei and then directed her gaze elsewhere, her voice cold, “Don’t bla her; it was my wish to co out for so air. It has nothing to do with her.”
Her expression was very indifferent, as if there was no marital connection between her and Xuanyuan Bei, rather like they were strangers.
Su Yan and Chu Yuxiao exchanged glances, both seeing the understanding in each other’s eyes.
Surely, this must be the wife Xuanyuan Bei had taken by force.
Xuanyuan Bei’s deanor softened imdiately, seemingly unconcerned by her coldness, and he said with a gentle smile,
“In that case, you’re allowed to stay outside for 15 minutes. However, you must go back to rest after that, understood?”
“This servant will rember,” the woman herself did not respond; instead, it was the maidservant who answered.
The woman seed not to have heard Xuanyuan Bei’s words, her gaze casually falling upon Su Yan and the others.
Xuanyuan Bei imdiately caught the hint and led her over, smiling at Su Yan and the others, “Princess, Marquis, allow to introduce you. This is my wife, Qiu Ruyue.”
