But he had the decree from Chu Yihan, and with someone from Chu Yihan’s side coming to pass the message, he had no choice but to allow Lu Ying to enter the Marquis’s Manor first.
Right now, Su Hao had not yet returned, and today he was with Chu Yihan; he thought that Chu Yihan would clarify the matter to him, and then everything would depend on Su Hao’s attitude towards the situation.
The whole family was concerned about Su Hao, waiting until the hour of the pig before they finally heard his heavy footsteps approaching.
Knowing his family was waiting for him, he went straight to the front hall.
After paying his respects to Su Qingzhi, he frowned and walked over to Su Yingxue’s side, “Sister, why are you still waiting for me instead of resting? Your pregnancy is not stable yet, and now you’re going to be a mother. Why are you being so capricious?”
“Brother…” Su Yingxue was scolded by him sharply, feeling very embarrassed.
Pouting, she tugged at Su Hao’s sleeve and coaxed him softly, “Brother, I was just worried about you! A woman who’s set to become my sister-in-law suddenly showed up in our house, and I feared you’d be upset! So I wanted to wait for you to return and see what you and the emperor intend to do. How do you plan to deal with Lu Ying? If you want to drive her out, I can have someone do it right now! To prevent any more trouble down the road!”
“No need to drive her out, let her stay.”
Su Hao’s handsome face was somber and icy as if he had been soaking in a cold pond, exuding an aura of frost.
“Let her stay?”
“Let her stay?”
Everyone was shocked.
Even Su Qingzhi was quite surprised, “Have you thought this through? There is only one position of the young madam of the Marquis’s Manor. If you ever decide to divorce and remarry, it will be a troublesome affair and will seriously damage your reputation as well as the Marquis’s Manor’s.”
Although he also hadn’t figured out how to drive Lu Ying away, he feared Su Hao was acting impulsively and would later be at a loss for what to do.
“There’s no need to divorce her. If she likes the position of the young madam, then let her have it. Grandfather, I’m tired, I’m going to rest.”
Su Hao was very taciturn. After speaking, he bid farewell and left.
Before leaving, he pulled Su Yingxue along to her room, made sure she lay down, and tucked her in before standing up to leave.
He affectionately patted her nose as he did when he was younger, “You, stop worrying about your brother’s affairs, or else if the little prince in your belly suffers, brother won’t spare you any face. I’ll tell the emperor straight away, and have you tied up and brought back to the palace!”
“Don’t! Brother, don’t be so fierce! I haven’t even figured out how to tell the emperor about the child.”
Su Yingxue pouted coyly and pulled at Su Hao’s hand, gently shaking it like a pitiful little cat that had been bullied.
“You figure it out on your own. Brother has to go on a military campaign, I won’t have the energy to look after you. I only have one piece of advice for you: you and the child must stay safe, otherwise even while brother is fighting battles, I will still be uneasy.”
Su Hao appeared stern but spoke with unusual tenderness.
Su Yingxue felt a warm surge envelop her body, and with a sweet smile on her lips, she said, “Understood, brother!”
His gaze at her was full of love and indulgence.
As he turned and went out, the care with which he closed the door for her was exceptionally gentle.
In Su Yingxue’s courtyard, Su Han was waiting for him. Seeing Su Hao emerge, she conveyed Su Qingzhi’s words, “Grandfather said, now that you have accepted Lu Ying’s presence in the manor, and she has rightfully become your wife without a wedding ceremony, you must meet her on your wedding night. It is only proper and will prevent others from gossiping, accusing the Marquis’s Manor of mistreating her.”
Su Hao’s expression was indifferent, and the disgust in his eyes was not at all concealed.
