Chapter 927: Chapter 925: Lu Ying Likes Su Hao
Su Yingxue wished them both a swift blessing of offspring, a nest full for life, and boundless good fortune!
But as for Su Yingxue herself…
She touched her flat belly and couldn’t help but think, if she got pregnant, would going to Chu Yihan with a sweet request bolster his sense of security?
He surely wouldn’t be angry anymore, right?
That’s what she thought, but when she tried to stride toward Chu Yihan, his air of coldness drove her back.
She didn’t even have a child yet.
She dared not go.
Where could she go?
“Forget it, let’s go see grandpa and brother!”
She walked to where Su Qingzhi was, shaking Xuan’er along the way. Although Su Qingzhi’s voice wasn’t loud, one could hear that he was scolding Su Hao.
“Since you were young, you’ve always been steady. A few mistakes could make you even more outstanding, but what exactly were you thinking this time? Who in the enemy ranks so bewildered you that you recklessly threw yourself into their trap?
Do you understand that if not for Lu Ying, you would have already perished at the enemy’s hands, and because of you, a young girl also suffered serious injury? Those two scars on her back, how is she supposed to marry well now? She is the daughter of Lu Chongming, and the Lu Family’s contributions to the state, earned through generations of service, are no less than those of our Marquis’s Manor. Think about it, how heartbroken must Lu Chongming be over his daughter?”
“Grandfather, I have let down Lu Ying. I will compensate her. I’ll acknowledge her as my sister and provide her with a generous dowry. All my merits can be given to the Lu Family.”
Su Hao knelt before Su Qingzhi, earnestly admitting his fault.
Su Qingzhi sighed softly, “If the Lu Family is willing to agree, then that’s settled, but today when I went to see Lu Ying, that young girl knelt down and appealed to me, saying her heart is pleased with you and in this lifetime, she only wishes to marry you. If you’re willing, then take her as your wife.”
“That must never happen!”
Su Hao immediately refused, “Grandfather, I have no romantic feelings for Lu Ying. Since meeting her at the border, I’ve always treated her as a friend. She is a capable military family’s daughter; she shouldn’t have to settle for me.”
“She can indeed marry someone worthily, but now she bears scars on her body, and with you also…”
“Grandfather!”
Su Yingxue burst in. She bounced up to Su Qingzhi, wrapped around his arm, and coquettishly smiled, “Grandpa can rest assured. I can heal the scars on Miss Lu’s back, ensuring her skin will be as smooth and flawless as new, so no one will reject her for them!”
“Is this… really possible?”
Su Qingzhi was curious and somewhat surprised.
“Does grandpa not trust my mother? Or does he not trust me?”
Su Yingxue pouted and swung his arm to act like a spoiled child.
“Of course, I trust you! Then I’ll leave this matter in your hands! Remember, you must heal Lu Ying to ensure she’s scarless; or else it will affect her prospects for marriage, and we at the Marquis’s Manor would feel guilty for not treating her properly.”
Su Qingzhi emphasized.
“Rest assured, grandpa, I will definitely heal Miss Lu. And as for brother… let him get up soon, he’s also seriously injured and hasn’t recovered yet!”
Su Hao kept his head down, kneeling on the ground, “You don’t need to plead for me. I must bear the consequences of my own mistakes.”
Chu Yihan still had a punishment for him, and he needed to accept his grandpa’s penalty before seeking out Chu Yihan.
“Alright, punishment can wait until you’re well. The army will soon be returning to the court; just don’t delay His Highness’s military progress. Go rest now!”
Su Qingzhi waved his hand, dismissing Su Hao.
