Sinister Ex-Girlfriend Chapter 4

The fifth prince’s household was celebrating. Throughout, the house was filled with redness, as if they were afraid that no one knew how happy they were.

Over the high walls, presently people only see the smiles, not the miseries of past.

Commoners normally didn’t have any feeling towards the fifth prince’s household change in Princess consort.

Are you talking about the fifth prince’s princess consort? Who? That higher up person, how could we commoners know?

Yes, the whole streets of the capital were still very lively, only those aristocrats knew, the royal family and n.o.ble knew that the fifth prince, who always favored the ill princess, disregarded her and established a maiden with the surname Ye as Princess consort.

If it was another time, this matter would absolutely make the emperor happy, but this was different, the Ye family had reported the fifth prince’s conspiracy because this crime was not a small problem, moreover, the princess’s illness was incurable.

Princess Su Wan was a person with rank, but the people of court all knew Su Wan was not loved at the General’s Household, from the moment she married into the fifth prince’s residence she cut off all relations with the Su family.

So, with a weak princess that was unfavoured by her father, even if she had a critical illness near death, no one would even care whether she was sad or happy. Not even for her death.

The great Xia Dynasty, which divided the male cla.s.s and female cla.s.s, even if she was of rank, she was only a chess piece used for marital relations. But Su Wan was already an abandoned chess piece that could not live for long, she was already thrown away for long.

Lengyuan was also part of the residence, but this place had no red decorations, completely unmatching with the current situation of the residence.

As the sun set, the celebrational music continuously streamed from the front yard. Su Wan wore a single layer, her eyes starting far away, in the memory of the original host that was the direction of the main yard.

“Master, it’s cold now, please be careful.”

Lu Chu carefully draped Su Wan with a white cape.

“It’s cold, but is it as cold as my heart?”

Su Wan lightly bit her lips. These days, thanks to Si Yu’s treatment, her health was better, but this body was too weak. These days she would only stand to watch the play, but she still felt dizzy, her limbs had no strength.

“Princess!”

At the door to the side, a slender figure appeared in the moonlight. Tonight Si Yu wore marble blue clothing, this was prepared in a rush to attend the wedding banquet.

This was new clothing, it was very beautiful, but when Si Yu wore it, it was very unnatural, especially with the distanced voice sounding out something like, “females were like clothes”, “if the old doesn’t go the new won’t come.” Finally, Si Yu couldn’t contain his emotions anymore.

They were comparing the princess with old clothing, they don’t understand anything!

Si Yu knew Ye Zhihua, he even checked her health for her, he even thought she was a very honest woman. But today, seeing her and the fifth prince being happy together in the front yard, he thought again that compare to the happy her but contrasting her with the princess who was at the edge of misery, the goodwill of Si Yu to that female vastly dropped.

“Si Yu!”

Seeing Si Yu, the eyes of Su Wan lit up, but went dim again.

“Sir, you came on time.”

Lu Chu did not notice the atmosphere of shamefulness between the two, she quickly went to the side of Si Yu, looking at him with an urgent face: “You quickly help me advise the princess, her royal body is important! If she keeps standing in the cold like this, she won’t be able to stand it.”

“Princess!”

Si Yu felt his heart numb, unconsciously beating faster.

“Return to the room, today I… brought you the moon cake you like to eat the most.”

Finished talking, Si Yu took out a little-wrapped box, this was the creation of the most famous cake shop in the area.

“I’m not hungry.”

Su Wan’s eyes showed a reflection of the lights in the far distance, then looked at Si Yu, becoming firm: “Si Yu, you… take me…”

Si Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up, the princess said what?

Did she tell me to take her?

This idea suddenly sank in Si Yu, unable to remove.

This place was the place that made her feel pain, she wanted to leave this place but was unable to.

Now she was no longer the fifth prince’s princess consort, why couldn’t he take her away?

Thinking like this, Si Yu could not resist shaking in happiness, but the shadow of Su Wan just stayed there.

The word ‘go’ he was unable to say, because in the dark night, a figure high and mighty, coldly appeared suddenly.

Black like ink, eyes red like blood.

The man carried the air of the moon, treating no one like anything, standing in the moonlight looking towards Su Wan, with an exquisitely strange smile: “Beloved Wan, I’ve come to bring… you home!”

Just hearing that voice, Lu Chu felt like she saw a ghost, her face paled, she hid behind Su Wan on instinct.

“General Su?”

Si Yu blanked out for a little, turning around immediately to see Su Rui’s whole figure covered in majestic armor radiating with a murderous aura.

They all said a tiger will birth a tiger, Su’s family was from a generation of generals. Sadly this current generation, there was only Su Rui as a male, but he was much better than his father, since youth his reputation was well-known, becoming the youngest general in the whole of the Xia Dynasty.

Su Wan tightly clasped hands, then let go powerlessly.

She displayed fear.

Si Yu was very near Su Wan, thus he discovered the abnormalities in her and Lu Chu. Outsiders all said Su Wan was abandoned by the Su family, but the main reason for their abandonment… was?

This mystery no one knows.

“Princess…”

Si Yu raised his hands, only wanting to seize Su Wan’s hands, but Su Wan avoided him, she just returned him with a desperate smile, then shakily looked at Su Rui: “Brother, are you really picking me up?”

Truly came at the right time!

Did you monitor the time?

In the bottom of Su Wan’s heart, she insulted Su Rui one hundred and eight times, but still appearing weak and fragile, a feeling crushed to ashes, no lingering feelings to live.

“Remember what I said when you were married?”

Su Rui step by step walked closer, carefully filled with oppression in front of Su Wan, totally ignoring Si Yu, his tall, and overbearing body completely covered Su Wan’s vision of sight. One powerful arm reached out and pulled her in.

His embrace was as cold as ice, with a slight misty smell of blood.

“When Xuanyuan Rui doesn’t need you, I’ll come take you home.”

Su Rui leaned on Su Wan’s shoulder, cold lips almost touching her ear, his warm breath speaking out ambiguous words.

Mother, she’s full of gooseb.u.mps right now.

Su Wan closed her eyes accepting her fate, letting Su Rui embrace her, his breath brought along a cold air, but Su Rui’s actions were full of gentleness.

“Lu Chu, are you not following.”

The low voice sounded out, Lu Chu had been so frightened by Su Rui, that her soul fell. Immediately regaining her stance, obediently following out with panic.

“Young General Su, princess…”

Si Yu at the back voiced, but got roughly told off by Su Rui: “The matter of my sister doesn’t need you, Si Yu, to b.u.t.t in, she has me and that is enough.”

You are a ghost guarding sister.

Su Wan closed her eyes, leaning into Su Rui’s embrace, she no longer had the energy to scold, originally wanting the feelings of Si Yu to reach perfection, seems like she no longer had the chance.

Si Yu o Si Yu, you must remember this sister, later I’ll need your ability to separate the male and female leads.

From the cold palace the main yard was not far.

The whole way along was filled with red lanterns. Su Wan buried her face into Su Rui’s chest, and even though his armor was thick, he was still able to feel the emotions of Su Wan, she was crying!

“Is it worthwhile to be with that person?”

The voice of Su Rui had a hint of sarcasm, Su Wan lifted her head to look at Su Rui with flushed eyes, tightly grabbing onto Su Rui’s arms: “Take me there, please.”

“Still haven’t given up?”

Si Rui raised his eyebrows, his voice laced with a hint of surprise.

“No, I just want to completely give up hope.”

The voice of Su Wan’s was low, but Su Rui heard it very clearly, with a flash of coldness in his eyes, hooked his bloodthirsty lips, after that his whole body jumped up, stepping on tall walls, holding onto Su Wan flying through.

Currently, the ceremony for the princess consort was over, Xuanyuan Rui carrying Ye Zhihua, who was wearing a crimson red dress happily chatting with her. At this moment, the guards at the door screamed in fear, then everyone just felt like a cold wind brushed through, a figure high and mighty flashed by.

“Guards! Come protect the prince.”

A bunch of guards rushed by to see the offender, but just by looking at that person they were all stunned.

No, to say everyone, everyone in the hall was stunned.

No one thought that Su Rui would come, even coming like this.

Lengyuan (冷苑) – Name of courtyard Su Wan lives in.

Treating no one like anything – Like no regards or respect for anyone or anything at all, he is above all.

Beloved Wan – There is an affectionate word in the front of her name which could be translated to little or some people use the pinyin one which I think is ‘Xiao’ but I thought this sounded better.

A tiger will birth a tiger – This idiom could be translated as ‘like father like son’ but I tried for a word for word translation.

T/N – Question, I used household for these chapters and some upcoming ones, but do people prefer residence more?

Also, I have made mistakes in the name Ye Zhilin, which is actually supposed to be Ye Zhijin, sorry for any confusion.
