Chapter 961: Chapter 959: So Fond of This Child
Su Qinghe finally realized that Su Qingzhi had been very satisfied with his granddaughter-inw long ago; having theme here was just to give a gentle persuasion, merely a formality.
Feeling discontented yet helpless, he said, “You watch over your grandson! Just make sure he doesn’t disgrace our Su family.”
“Cousin, rest assured.”
Su Qingzhi smiled with a curve of his lips.
Another elder of the n, standing beside Su Qinghe, was also caught betweenughter and tears.
Su Qingzhi had sent Su Yingxue to entertain the two of them, leaving Wu Jinyan and Su Hao behind. Su Qingzhi red at Su Hao, “Why are you still kneeling? Help your madam up!”
“Grandfather?” Su Hao was somewhat surprised, “Aren’t you going to punish me first?”
“You foolish thing! Punishing you doesn’t mean punishing my granddaughter-inw and great-grandson! Do you expect your old grandfather to help them up personally?”
Su Qingzhi red, observing that Su Haocked the cleverness and cunning of Su Yingxue, not fully inheriting the good genes of Long Shuli, and even failed to understand the situation he’d carefully arranged.
When it came to social sensibilities, he was indeed a bit slow!<div>
“The Old General invited the two n elders here to have us kneel and admit our wrongs with sincere attitudes — that was for them to see so as to gain the approval of the elders in the Su n. It seems rted to being entered into the family pedigree and ancestral temple. The Old General didn’t really intend to punish us,” Wu Jinyan said softly, her voice gentle, having gleaned Su Qingzhi’s painstaking efforts from the conversation between him and Su Qinghe.
At this moment, she looked at Su Qingzhi with respect and gratitude.
This Old General not only possessed an authoritative presence but also was incredibly attentive to detail.
Su Qingzhi nodded at Wu Jinyan with great satisfaction, “After all, a Miss who has made her own way understands much more than my foolish grandson!”
When Su Qingzhi looked at Wu Jinyan, his eyes were filled with affection as if looking at his own granddaughter.
Though it was his first time meeting Wu Jinyan, from Su Hao and Su Yingxue’s descriptions, as well as what he had learned on his own, he had deduced that Wu Jinyan was a very good girl.
Though her background was humble, her ability to stand on her own two feet was already very impressive.
She had a resolve that was not inferior to that of Su Yingxue and was somewhat like Long Shuli’s child.
Su Hao stood up happily, “Thank you, grandfather! Since you have already persuaded the n elders and agreed to the marriage between me and Jinyan, please help us set the wedding date and arrange the ceremony. I wish to bring Jinyan into my home as my legitimate wife this very morning!”
“What’s the rush! Haven’t I taught you all these years to be more steady?”
Su Qingzhi scolded Su Hao with a stern face.
Su Hao calmed himself and patiently exined, “Grandson is indeed a bit anxious, but it concerns the child in Jinyan’s belly. I do not know who leaked the news, and now with Jinyan still living in Thousand-Jiao Pavilion, she has to endure many rumors. I am also unable to fully look after her and the child. If she can enter the Marquis’s Manor sooner, both she and the child will be better cared for.”
“Hmm, if it’s for the child, I won’t me you for being anxious,” Su Qingzhi’s eyes softened significantly as he gestured to Wu Jinyan, “Come,e closer, let your old grandfather have a look at the little great-grandson!”
Wu Jinyan’s heart trembled slightly, her face paled.
This child wasn’t Su Hao’s, and the Old General Su liked him so much…
She stood motionless, lost in thought, with an even worseplexion. Seeing this, Su Qingzhi frowned, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Is there something wrong with the child? Su Hao, have you had your sister check on her?”
