Chapter 973: Chapter 971: The Young General Rejoices in Gaining a Loving Wife
Su Yingxue’s exquisitely beautiful eyes sparkled with light, “Brother, I wasn’t present at the time, and it’s not easy to pass judgement, but as your sister, I understand you. Not to mention that your alcohol tolerance isn’t poor, even if you drank so much that night that you were out of it, how could you still have slept with Lu Ying? When people are drunk, unless drugs are involved, they basically can’t perform such acts and would have fallen asleep long ago.”
Yet, on that very night Su Hao got drunk, trouble arose, and Su Hao remembered that it was Lu Ying who had invited him to drink. This matter didn’t look normal from any angle.
However, too much time had passed, and Su Yingxue had no way to investigate anything.
But now the situation wasn’t too bad, since Lu Ying and her father were both in Jiang Du City. Over time, she would surely resolve her doubts.
“Brother, leave the matter of Lu Ying to me. Even if she is hell-bent on marrying you to be a concubine, our Marquis’s Manor has strict requirements for concubines. What if she has ill intentions? Wouldn’t the manor then have a ticking time bomb?”
Upon hearing this, Su Hao nodded, “Indeed, it’s true. I’m not familiar with Lu Ying, only feeling deeply guilty towards her because of that incident, which has caused me to lose my usual judgment. I’ll trouble you with this matter. If she insists on marrying me, after the marriage, I’ll ask Yan’er to make arrangements. I have talked with Yan’er about this; she doesn’t me me and has also epted Lu Ying.”
This was the mostforting thing for him, having done wrong by two women.
Yet Wu Jinyan was someone who loved him, who could understand him anywhere and anytime, never making things difficult for him, making him feel exceedingly fortunate.
“Both brother and sister-inw are kind people, so as your sister, I am duty-bound to strive for your happiness!” Su Yingxue saluted Su Hao with her hands and yfully stuck out her tongue.
Su Hao’s tense mouth finally showed a trace of a smile as he tousled Su Yingxue’s head, “Having you as my sister is also my fortune.”<div>
Su Yingxue smiled with pride and self-satisfaction.
With the wedding the next day, she told Su Hao to go back early and rest.
No sooner had Su Hao left than Zi Wei returned.
Hended in front of Su Yingxue, “Lu Ying has a guard by her side, a woman proficient in martial arts, hiding within the Marquis’s Manor.”
Su Yingxue huffed lightly, “I knew it; Lu Ying isn’t a simple person. Zi Wei, go investigate Lu Ying and the person by her side. If you can find anything unusual about them, that would be great.”
“Alright.”
Zi Wei’s husky voice was particrly dear to Su Yingxue.
It had been a long time since she had heard his voice. It remained as always—concise and cold.
Yet, this coldness gave her a sense of security.
The smile on Su Yingxue’s face was very warm, and the purple at the corners of Zi Wei’s eyes unconsciously softened as well.
All was well with her.
And he was at peace.
Su Hao’s wedding was extremely grand. Though the situation was unstable in the court, with Chu Yihan poised to ascend the throne as emperor, his bing the ruler was evident, as he was the choice of the people’s hearts, which naturally made the officials and citizens happy.
Moreover, it was well known throughout thend that the Ninth Prince favored only the Ninth Princess Consort.
As the Ninth Princess Consort’s own older brother from the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor was getting married, the carriages of officials, both civil and military, from the court, literally clogged the streets to the point where the bridal sedan chair could barely enter the gates.
The sound of firecrackers was deafening, and the whole manor wasvishly adorned with red petals and festive cheer.
“Old General Su, congrattions! A granddaughter-inw has been gained!”
“Congrattions, congrattions! Great joy for the Old General, great joy for the young general!”
“Congrattions to the young general, for gaining a beloved wife!”<div>
