Chapter 411 - 411: She’s Going to Marry Me
Su Yingxue’s gaze remained firm. The Marquis’s Manor had been built through the hard work of several generations of the Su family.
Her mother had also lived in the Marquis’s Manor for many years, presumably developing a strong attachment to it.
For the sake of her mother and grandfather, Su Dingheng, she had to ensure that he lived well.
Moreover, allowing him to live with guilt towards her mother would bring her a sense of satisfaction!
The light in her eyes was truly captivating. Chu Yihan leaned over and kissed her eyes gently. He whispered into her ear as softly as a feather, “My men have sent news. Old General Su has finished his business at the border. He can return to court now.”
“Grandfather?” Su Yingxue’s eyes lit up. What she felt the most guilty about was watching her grandfather die in front of her, but she was unable to save her. She was even accused of causing her grandfather’s death.
After she was reborn, she immediately wanted to see her grandfather. However, her grandfather was guarding the border, so she couldn’t go and look for him recklessly.
In her previous life, her grandfather only returned to the imperial court two years later. At that time, she was already in a bad state, causing her grandfather great distress.
In this life, why did her grandfather come back early?
Her puzzled gaze fell on Chu Yihan’s fairy-like face. “What did you do this time?”
Chu Yihan looked calm. “Old General Su is old, and the border needs to be handed over to a young general. I’ve chosen a suitable person. After Old General Su completes the handover, he can return to Jiang Du City.”
Su Yingxue’s heart jumped excitedly, and she couldn’t help but hug Chu Yihan. “Your Highness, you’re the best! I miss my grandfather so much. If 1 can see him soon, I’ll ask Grandpa to hold a banquet to thank you!”
“Just a banquet to thank me?” Chu Yihan’s expression was filled with dissatisfaction.
“What else does Your Highness want? Whatever you want to do, I’ll do it for you!” Su Yingxue beamed.
She had completely forgotten that Chu Yihan had asked her who would decide on the marriage. She had said that she needed her grandfather’s approval.
Now, Chu Yihan had sent Old General Su back to the court in advance.
He leaned over to Su Yingxue’s ear and gently touched her soft earlobe with his lips. “What 1 want to do is to marry you.”
A blush crept up Su Yingxue’s earlobe and gradually spread to her face. Together with the excitement in her heart, it burned her originally fair face red.
This was the first time she ran away shyly in front of Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan had engraved her in his heart for thirteen years, and she wanted to fulfill the joke she made when she was three years old.
Did she devote herself to him?
Although she was too excited to know that her grandfather was coming back, Su Yingxue still calmly handled her current tasks.
After visiting the residence and the clinic, Su Yingxue brought Zhilan to Qinghe Palace.
This was the place where the emperor received envoys.
Logically speaking, the envoys of other countries would be arranged to stay in the posthouse when they entered Jiang Du City. However, the court meeting held once every four years was different. Not only would people from the four countries and nine provinces come, but the various forces of the Silver Moon Pavilion would also come. Chu Mingyuan had raised the treatment given to the people of the various countries and allowed them to stay in the palace.
After Su Yingxue received the imperial edict to receive the envoy, she had to make some arrangements in the palace.
She could guess that Chu Mingyuan had not asked her to receive the envoy for her good, but she had to be careful. She could not let Chu Mingyuan know that she had already seen through his intentions.
She walked around the clinic and arrived at Qinghe Palace afternoon.
The manager of Qinghe Palace was a steady nanny named Jing Fang.
When she heard that Su Yingxue had arrived, she especially came out to welcome her. The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before Jing Fang smiled very modestly. “Miss Su has been chosen by the emperor. You came to the palace early. The palace will only send someone to clean up tomorrow..”
