95: Your biggest mistake is coveting him.
Su Yan, who had been full of enthusiasm, felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head.
"Miss Su, why do you not pay your respects when seeing Marquis Yongding?" Aunt Ying Hong frowned.
"You come from a scholarly family, at least, so how can you have no manners at all?"
"No need. I've already told you, Auntie, this is an old acquaintance."
Luo Yongan's voice rang out from behind, and just hearing it made Su Yan feel as if she had instantly fallen into an ice cellar, causing a chill to run through her entire body.
"It's fine, it's fine," Luo Yongning said with a light laugh.
"Alright, Auntie, you don't need to serve us. Since it's an old friend meeting, let us relax a bit, shall we?"
Hearing this, Aunt Ying Hong didn't say anything more; after bowing slightly, she took the maids and withdrew.
Luo Yongan and Luo Yongning slowly walked over to Mo Yingqi's side, standing one on his left and one on his right. Holding his hands, they looked at the pale-faced Su Yan, and then Luo Yongan smiled and said, "Long time no see, Miss Su. How long has it been since we last met in the Northern Territory?"
"Your subject, your subject is terrified!"
Su Yan lowered her head, her legs went weak, and she actually knelt to the ground in one motion!
This caught Mo Yingqi off guard, and even now, he hadn't recalled that the woman before him was Su Yan, who had once been betrothed to him in an arranged marriage.
It wasn't his fault; firstly, so many years had passed, and it is said that a girl changes eighteen times before adulthood. Moreover, ever since he went to the Northern Territory, he had spent his days with Luo Yongan and Luo Yongning, long ago casting the insignificant Su Yan to the back of his mind.
Although she had come to the Northern Territory for a while, well… she hadn't stayed for many days before leaving.
And during that time, because she came, these two sisters were even more inseparable from him, wishing they could be with him even while sleeping, which left him feeling both amused and helpless during that period.
"Oh my, Miss Su, I already said there was no need for formalities; why are you still so rigid with etiquette?" Luo Yongning covered her mouth lightly, looking very surprised.
"Forget it, forget it. Auntie, you all should come over and help her up."
As she spoke, Luo Yongning turned to look at Mo Yingqi, speaking in a soft, coquettish voice, "Yingqi, I originally wanted to bring you to eat with us, but look… with you, a man, here, we won't be able to properly catch up with Miss Su!"
"Fine then, it just so happens I don't want to be here either." Although Mo Yingqi didn't know what was going on, his intuition told him… it was better to avoid it if he could.
"But the food…"
"Yingqi is really… it's also my and Yongning's fault for spoiling you every day; you've naturally grown fond of eating and drinking." Luo Yongan felt helpless, but her voice carried infinite doting.
"Auntie, give the Imperial Son-in-Law more dishes, and also send the noodles the chef prepared specially for him to his sleeping quarters."
"Yes, Your Highnesses, this servant understands."
Aunt Ying Hong turned slightly and waved her hand; several maids who had already been holding food boxes, silver chopsticks, and ceramic bowls and dishes came forward and portioned out some of the dishes from the table.
Mo Yingqi didn't want to stay any longer either; after greeting Luo Yongan and Luo Yongning, he turned and went back.
"Aunt Ying Hong, who exactly is that person?" After leaving the main hall, Mo Yingqi asked curiously.
"Are they old close friends of Sister Yongan and the others?"
Hearing Mo Yingqi say this, Aunt Ying Hong almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.
They had already referred to her as Miss Su, and this Imperial Son-in-Law was usually such a smart person…
But Aunt Ying Hong couldn't help but secretly observe Mo Yingqi's expression; it seemed he really didn't remember!
"Um, you could say that?" Aunt Ying Hong really didn't know how she should explain it to Mo Yingqi.
"Actually, it's better that you aren't there, Imperial Son-in-Law. After all, it's just young ladies talking about, um, intimate matters. Your presence there would be somewhat inappropriate."
In truth, Aunt Ying Hong couldn't figure out what Luo Yongan and Luo Yongning were trying to achieve. Letting Mo Yingqi come over, just to show off their affection?
The problem was that this was something from so many years ago; why did these two sisters have to fixate on her?
Now that Mo Yingqi was already the noble Imperial Son-in-Law, and on Su Yan's side, Su Wensheng would sooner or later be dealt with along with Zhang Jiawen, she probably wouldn't have a good end either; it just depended on whether the punishment would implicate family members.
Unable to figure it out, Aunt Ying Hong didn't want to think about it anymore.
Over so many years, there were just too many things regarding Mo Yingqi that Aunt Ying Hong couldn't understand about these two sisters.
That's right, who could understand people like them?
"Miss Su, please sit."
After Luo Yongan and Luo Yongning sat down, they spoke almost in unison.
But Su Yan stood there trembling, her body shaking, yet her feet felt as if they were filled with lead, unable to move a single step.
"Oh my, don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you." Luo Yongan's face always maintained an extremely appropriate smile.
"Yongning and I have now achieved our wish and married Yingqi together. That so-called engagement between you and him from back then has long since been voided. Oh, that's right, speaking of which, you should be Zhang Yingcheng's fiancée, right?"
Hearing Zhang Yingcheng's name, Su Yan's legs went even weaker. If it hadn't been for the maid at her side grabbing her arm, she would likely have collapsed to the ground again.
"Don't worry, don't worry, having you come here is just to test something, that's all." Luo Yongning slowly stood up and walked gracefully in front of her.
"It seems the results are quite good for now; Yingqi can't even remember who you are anymore…"
The reason Mo Yingqi couldn't remember Su Yan was partly because his impression of her had become very blurry, and secondly… naturally, it was because of the effect of "Love Follows."
From childhood to adulthood, Mo Yingqi had hardly had any contact with members of the opposite sex of a similar age; apart from the sisters, Su Yan was likely the only one.
Although these two sisters were crazy, it wasn't to say they were truly that insane. It was just a Su Yan, and it was a fact that she was long out of their line of sight.
But after all, this was the person of the opposite sex who, besides them, had the deepest connection with Mo Yingqi and had no blood relation.
So, there was no other way. Since they had already come to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, and since the purpose of this time was to make Mo Yingqi completely fall for them, they naturally had to use every means possible.
"Your subject truly, truly is no longer a threat to The Two Highnesses." The expression on Su Yan's face was uglier than crying.
"You two sent, sent that, that thing to your subject's home yesterday; how could your subject not understand your meaning?"
"You're overthinking it; it was just done in passing." Luo Yongan picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of fish, and put it into her mouth.
"Tell the kitchen that this dish is not good; don't serve it again in the future. Yingqi doesn't like this flavor."
After giving these instructions, Luo Yongan turned her head to look at Su Yan: "If you want to blame someone, just blame yourself for being the only girl he has ever had contact with and was once betrothed to, hmm?"
"Actually, your father's ingratitude is a good thing for Yongning and me. After all, you are not worthy of Yingqi; he belongs to Yongning and me."
"And besides, who told you to have once coveted him? This is the greatest mistake of your life, so there's nothing to be done, oh?"
"However, rest assured, as long as you cooperate with Yongning and me, not only will I spare you, but even your father can be spared from death."
"Think about it carefully, Miss Su?"
