Chapter 933 But what did Shuang'er do wrong?
Ximen Yinshuang was so shocked that her pupils shrank when she heard Su Yi's words without any rejection.
She never expected that Su Yi would dare to openly refuse the marriage proposal in front of so many guests, which completely disrupted her plans.
The fingertips holding the embroidered handkerchief suddenly turned white, and the embroidered shoes hidden under Yuehua's brocade skirt rolled heavily on the ground, as if they wanted to crush something invisible.
But in a flash, her eyes were filled with tears and her frail body was about to collapse.
"Young Master Su..." Her voice trembled like catkins in the wind, her fingertips grasping the front of her clothes, "But what did Shuang'er do wrong? Are you dissatisfied?"
"Although I am weak, my feelings for Mr. Su are evident to all." She pretended to look pitiful.
When she covered her lips with the embroidered handkerchief, her fingertips deliberately scratched the corners of her lips, and a streak of scarlet blood immediately seeped out, forming a gorgeous flower on the snow-white silk.
However, beneath this seemingly weak appearance, Ximen Yinshuang's heart hides a trace of greed that is difficult to detect and is determined to win.
She sneered in her heart like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. This Su Yi was so bold that he dared to reject her kindness!
This lady is as beautiful as a flower, as beautiful as the moon, and her status is extremely noble, and her talent is outstanding.
If he didn't have a handsome face, extraordinary talent, prominent family background, a good match for me, and possessed that rare yang physique that could help her break through!
How could Ximen Yinshuang condescend to him? How could she look at him differently?
Otherwise, she, Ximen Yinshuang, would not care about him!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Su Yi was ungrateful, and the dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart became stronger.
Tomorrow, she will transplant the pure yin body of that bitch Ximen Li into her body, and then she will also have a pure yin body.
Thinking of this, Ximen Yinshuang couldn't help but smile complacently.
However, this smile was quickly covered by the frost on her face.
Humph, this Su Yi is really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. He doesn't even know how to cherish the favor of this lady.
But it doesn’t matter. Once he obtains the Extreme Yin Body, he will naturally regret his decision today!
When Ximen Yinshuang lowered her eyes, a sinister look flashed in her eyes. Humph, this Su Yi really doesn't know what's good for him!
"Ahem..." Although Ximen Yinshuang was very proud in her heart, she still pretended to be sick.
Si Fenglan immediately rushed to her daughter's side, glaring at Su Yi with red eyes: "Master Su, my Shuang'er is weak, but she is infatuated with you. How could you be so cruel?"
There was a golden light flashing on her fingertips, and it was obvious that she was really angry.
Su Yi sneered, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His gaze swept across Ximen Yinshuang's pitiful face like a knife.
Others might be confused by this appearance, but he clearly saw the sinister look that flashed across the woman's eyes when she lowered her head to wipe her tears.
"Mrs. Ximen, you are too kind." He spoke in a distant tone as if he were talking to a stranger, "This young master is devoted to cultivating the Tao and has no intention of getting married.
These words were like a huge rock dropped into a deep pool, and the banquet hall suddenly exploded with whispers.
When Su Chenyin heard what Ximen Lie's family said, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited.
The knuckles that were gripping the white jade wine glass turned white, and the icy patterns on the glass wall cracked inch by inch as she became more angry.
This Ximen Lie family is really despicable and shameless!
Not only did they attempt to plot against their own brother, they also wanted to have the dying Ximen Yinshuang marry their brother.
This is simply...an insult and disrespect to my brother!
Su Chenyin clenched her fists, and she suppressed her anger and did not explode immediately.
She knew that in this situation, directly tearing the face off was not the best option.
So she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Nephew Su is not young anymore. Having said that," Ximen Lie's eyes sparkled, "Although my Yinshuang is a little weak, she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her talent is outstanding."
"Shuang'er and you are a perfect match made in heaven."
He deliberately dragged out the last word, and his eyes swept across Su Yi's cold and hard jawline, as if he was sure of victory.
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet.
The candlelight flickered in the banquet hall, illuminating Su Chenyin's frosty face.
The anger in Su Chenyin's heart rose again.
She felt that Ximen Lie's words were like a poisoned dagger, stabbing straight at her brother.
She would never let her brother suffer such injustice and harm!
So, Su Chenyin bent his hand and flicked it. A powder that was almost invisible to the naked eye floated up quietly with the breeze, and like a ghost, quietly fell on Ximen Lie, Ximen Yinshuang, Sima Lan and Old Madam Ximen.
This powder is colorless and odorless, and cannot be detected by others.
But Su Chenyin knew that this was a special poison she made. Although it would not be immediately fatal, it would make people weak and painful for a period of time.
After doing all this, Su Chenyin's mood calmed down a little.
She gently stroked the edge of the white jade wine glass, with a perfect smile on her lips, but her eyes were cold.
She glanced at Ximen Yinshuang who was sitting next to Ximen Lie - the woman's face was as pale as paper, but her lips were painted with bright rouge, and she looked like she was terminally ill but trying hard to stay strong.
Su Chenyin sneered in her heart. Is the Ximen family going to use a dying person to tie her brother down?
"Patriarch Ximen is so kind to me. Chenyin would like to thank him on behalf of my brother." Su Chenyin's voice was cold, like pearls falling on a jade plate, but her fingertips had already crushed a pill in her sleeve.
"However, marriage is not a trivial matter after all, so brother will naturally not make a decision easily." Su Chenyin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile.
She caught a glimpse of Bai Luoying sitting opposite her from the corner of her eye. The woman's pretty face was distorted and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces.
Su Chenyin immediately understood that Bai Luoying was angry. She was angry that Ximen Lie actually planned to marry Ximen Yinshuang to Su Yi.
"Miss Su, what you said is not right." Old Man Ximen stood up slowly. Although her voice was a little hoarse, it carried an unquestionable majesty.
"Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. Now that the head of the Su family is gone, the eldest brother is like a father, so the marriage of my nephew Su should naturally be decided by the elders!"
Although Old Madam Ximen didn't know what the relationship between Su Chenyin and Su Yi was, Su Chenyin actually called Su Yi "brother".
However, she knew that Su Yi had grown up without a father or a mother and was raised by Ji Qingxu. Su Chenyin, a junior, had no right to make decisions here.
snort!
What an uneducated thing!
Old Man Ximen snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt and disdain for Su Chenyin.
Su Chenyin's eyes sank slightly, and a chill gushed out from her eyes.
This old hag was so bold as to curse her parents!
It seems that it was not enough for the poison powder to just torture her, and she even dared to curse her parents, so she must die!
Su Chenyin's lips curled up into a sinister smile and flicked his fingertips.
In an instant, a wisp of extremely fine powder drifted away with the breeze and silently fell on the dark purple lapel of Madam Ximen.
The powder is so fine that it is almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
However, this seemingly insignificant powder is actually the "Ten-Day Soul-Breaking Powder" carefully developed by Su Chenyin.
This "Ten-Day Soul-Cutting Powder" is colorless and tasteless. The poisoned person will suffer from symptoms only after ten days, when his meridians will flow backwards and he will feel excruciating pain.
Ten days later, without her special antidote, Madam Ximen would surely die!
"Haha, Madam Ximen is right. Don't say it next time. Are you really afraid that you will be angry to death?" Su Chenyin did not show it on her face, but she was furious in her heart.
She deliberately slowed down her speech, and her ending tone was teasing, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Madam Ximen was choked and her face turned red. Her cloudy eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "You little girl, do you know the rules?"
Guests present: “…”
This girl is amazing, her tongue is so sharp, look how angry she is, making old Madam Ximen’s face turn red. I admire you!
Some people even whispered that the Ximen family was calculating too loudly and had turned a good thing into a farce.
