Almost Sent Away

Su Xinlan's heart sank with a sense of impending danger.

But as Marquis Changxin stepped into the room, she immediately squeezed out two tears. She appeared like a helpless woman as she cried, "Marquis, save me! She, she wants to kill me."

"What's going on here?"

Marquis Changxin, in his sixties but still robust, had remained composed despite years of experience in court.

His gaze briefly swept over Su Xinlan before he quickly bowed, "I pay respects to the Ninth Princess Consort. I hope the Ninth Princess Consort forgives me for not greeting from afar."

"Marquis..."

Su Xinlan widened her eyes in disbelief. Why did the Marquis bow to Su Yingxue instead of helping her?

Wasn't she still yet to marry Chu Yihan?

Su Yingxue was also surprised by the Marquis's gesture. "Marquis, you're too kind."

"What? Ninth Princess Consort?"
