章 617: 260: Su Yi, the Fire-stirring Instigator

The imperial family had arrived to present the betrothal gifts, and the ceremony was extremely elaborate. The Crown Prince, accompanied by his Eastern Palace officers, guards, and attendants, as well as gift bearers and messengers, made the scene lively outside the Qi Country Duke's Mansion.

Of course, Su Xinyi couldn't see the commotion in front. She was staying with her sisters in the backyard.

Such elaborate rituals were exclusive to royal engagements. When the other young ladies of the Duke Mansion had gone through the Three Letters and Six Rituals, the ceremony hadn't been nearly as grand.

Su Xixian couldn't help but feel envious, but not everyone could enjoy such fortune.

She looked at Xin Yi's calm expression and suddenly thought of the time when they first brought her home, how her eyes were always cautious and guarded while looking at people. At that time, Su Xixian thought she was overly cautious and not worthy of high society.
