Chapter 955: Chapter 953: Persuading Su Qingzhi
In the Marquis’s Manor, Su Hao came back the latest and missed the evening meal.
When he came to the front hall to greet Su Qingzhi, Su Qingzhi asked, “Where did you go today?”
It wasn’t that he wanted to restrict Su Hao’s freedom at his age, but today Lu Ying came to pay her respects, and her wound had split open a little. The place was full of men who couldn’t help her, and with a sigh, Lu Ying said that if Su Hao had been there, he could have supported her.
This made him sink into an old face, feeling somewhat sorry.
At the dining table, with Lu Ying also sitting together, he asked in front of her.
Lu Ying’s eyes shone with light, her smile faint, “He must have gone to train at the military camp. Even though the general has been suspended, he is still concerned about the soldiers.”
Her words sounded pleasant, flattering Su Qingzhi just right and letting him feel Su Hao’s steadiness and regret.
Su Qingzhi stroked his beard and chuckled.
But Su Hao straightforwardly said, “No, the military camp is a secure place, and being suspended, I shouldn’t enter without permission. I went to Thousand-Jiao Pavilion to see Jinyan.”
He knew Lu Ying’s thoughts about him, and since the whole family was there, he simply told them, letting Lu Ying hear as well.
Lu Ying’s face immediately blanched, and her hands under the table clenched into fists instinctively, her sharp nails inadvertently cutting her fingers.
Su Qingzhi had heard Su Hao mention Wu Jinyan before and casually asked, “Is the miss doing well? I heard there was some misunderstanding between you two before, has it been cleared up now?”
Su Hao nodded with a smile on his face, “Thank you, grandfather, for your concern. Jinyan and I have made up, and I was thinking about discussing with grandfather when you are free. I would like to bring Jinyan to meet you, and have my wife-to-be offer you a cup of tea.”
After the tea ceremony, he would ask grandfather to start planning the wedding for them.
Seeing Su Hao happy, Su Qingzhi felt a touch of regret that he didn’t like Lu Ying, but he was also happy for him.
Su Hao had always been diligent and humble since childhood, rarely showing his emotions on his face. Now, unable to hide his joy, it was clear how much he loved that girl.
Su Qingzhi also nodded, “I am free these next two days, you find a time to bring her to let me have a look, I should also have a taste of my grandson’s wife’s tea.”
Su Hao was excited, “Really? Good, Grandfather, I’ll bring her tomorrow to see you!”
“Tomorrow? You’re in quite a hurry!” Su Qingzhi laughed and teased.
“How can brother not be in a hurry? My uncle’s second and third brothers are already married, and I am married too, but brother’s wife is not yet settled. Of course, he also hopes to get married soon!”
Su Yingxue chimed in from the side, conveniently bringing up Su Hao’s marriage.
Considering that Lu Ying was beside him, Su Qingzhi didn’t speak directly, only nodding, “Hmm, it’s time to consider it.”
This family’s conversation, full of happiness, made Lu Ying feel cold and distant. She slowly stood up and said to Su Qingzhi, “Old General, my body feels unwell, so I’ll go back to rest early.”
Su Qingzhi nodded affectionately, “Alright, if there is any issue with your wound, send someone to find Yingxue. With her here, your wound will certainly heal!”
Su Yingxue also promised, “I will certainly do my best to heal Miss Lu’s wounds, especially the scars on Miss Lu’s back. They will heal as new, leaving no marks.”
Lu Ying gritted her teeth at this response but had no choice but to endure her emotions and said faintly, “Thank you, Ninth Princess Consort, thank you!”
“You’re welcome!”
Su Yingxue tilted her head and smiled.
