Su Yingxue knelt on the ground, utterly puzzled.
She remembered that her grandfather rarely mentioned any heroes when she was young. Among the few times he did, Chu Yihan was mentioned, and his grandfather spoke of Chu Yihan as a great hero of the time. The respect in his words was akin to wanting to be brothers with him.
But why did it seem that when it came to her, her grandfather regarded Chu Yihan with suspicion, as if he were a villain?
“Grandfather may admire him, but this Ninth Prince has his eyes on you…”
This left Su Qingzhi perplexed. Setting aside the fact that Chu Yihan was over ten years older than Su Yingxue if they had married earlier, their daughter would have been as old as Su Miaoyan!
Considering Chu Yihan’s grip on power, his deep-seated enmity, and boundless ambitions, how could he be considered faithful?
Su Yingxue’s temperament was akin to Long Shull’s, which, in the eyes of their circle, was considered rebellious!
What about gender equality? Long Shuli advocated for it, and Su Yingxue lived by it!
She provided free medical care for female patients on the first and fifteenth of every month, which was evident!
However, with her temperament, how could he feel at ease with her marrying Chu Yihan?
It might be better to marry someone like Su Dingheng, a waste of space, for a more worry-free life!
Su Yingxue sensed Su Qingzhi’s dilemma. He seemed to have many unspoken thoughts, unsure how to express them. She gently reasoned, “Grandfather, if you understand Your Highness, you would know he’s not a bad person. If I’m with him, wouldn’t there be no harm?”
“How can there be no harm?” Su Qingzhi immediately widened his eyes. “If there’s no harm, how did you become enemies with the empress? Why do the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince despise you so? What about Noble Consort Xiao and the Xiao family? You’ve thrown yourself into the heart of the storm!”
Back then, her mother, Long Shuli, couldn’t escape unscathed. And now, here she was…
Su Qingzhi pressed his forehead, feeling increasingly annoyed at the thought.
He had only wanted Su Yingxue to live out her days in peace and happiness.
If only she had learned a fraction of her mother’s wisdom, she would have been an exceptional woman.
But he hadn’t expected her to learn almost all of it.
Su Yingxue instantly dared not argue with Su Qingzhi. Indeed, experience counts for much.
Grandfather’s gaze was piercing. No matter what she said, she seemed powerless.
“But, Grandfather, given the situation, with all the enmity that’s already arisen, shouldn’t we just accept it? Why not allow Your Highness and me to be together, and I’ll ask him to propose?”
Su Yingxue boldly suggested to Su Qingzhi.
Su Qingzhi placed his hands on his hips, silent for a moment. Then, turning to Su Yingxue, he said, “No! Grandfather does not agree to you marrying him!”
“Grandfather!”
Su Yingxue was anxious. She stood up and walked to Su Qingzhi’s side. “Grandfather, Your Highness, and I truly love each other. Your Highness has been preparing for a long time. I want to marry him!”
“Su Yingxue! You’re a young lady, yet all you talk about is marriage. Aren’t you ashamed?”
Su Qingzhi widened his eyes and glared at Su Yingxue. Su Yingxue shook her head. “What’s there to be ashamed of? It’s a matter of mutual consent. When Brother and Sister-in-law were engaged, he was very straightforward. He said he would only marry Sister-in-law. Didn’t Grandfather agree?”
Su Qingzhi choked. “Your brother… That’s…”
It was too rash!
Su Hao was mature, sensible, and made his own decisions regarding his marriage. Su Qingzhi wouldn’t interfere.
But now, Su Yingxue was bringing it up…
Su Qingzhi’s expression turned stern. “If you say another word, I’ll reject your brother’s marriage too. They’re only engaged, not married yet.. Your brother still has to guard the border for two more years!”
