Chapter 592: Chapter 543, Fake Accident_1
The Su Residence’s third courtyard.
Upon hearing her husband’s words, Madam Su expressed astonishment, “How could Father agree to this again? Did Wenkai come to the residence today and say something to Father?”
As the third master of the Su Family, he couldn’t disclose that Yan Wenkai was a member of the Jinling Guard, so he vaguely replied, “Father has given this a lot of thought. Weren’t you willing to agree before?”
Madam Su pondered for a moment, “Alright then, I’ll ask Shiyu what she thinks. Madam Li will return to the Huining Prefecture after the Li Family’s wedding ceremony is over. If our daughter also has a favorable impression of Wenkai, we can let Hongxin take Shiyu there on the wedding day to join in the festivities, which could also reveal our family’s stance.”
The third master of the Su Family nodded, “You decide then.”
Madam Su immediately went to her daughter’s courtyard. Upon entering, she discovered her daughter smiling foolishly at a glaze lamp, oblivious to her approach.
“Ahem~”
With a cough, Madam Su grabbed Su Shiyu’s attention.
“What are you thinking about?”
Su Shiyu was a little flustered, steadying Madam Su as she sat down, “It was nothing.”
Madam Su saw her daughter blush shyly and, recalling her son’s recent visit from the front courtyard, spoke without changing her expression, “Madam Li visited our house yesterday, and in her words, she hinted at wanting to discuss a marriage alliance with our family.”
Seeing her daughter nervously wringing her handkerchief, Madam Su continued, “Would you be willing to marry Yan Wenkai if the proposal came from him?”
At these words, Su Shiyu’s breathing hitched, her face and ears quickly flushed with redness.
Witnessing this, Madam Su understood. She did not know when her daughter had taken a liking to that lad Wenkai. Realizing her daughter had feelings but hadn’t shared them with her, Madam Su felt a bit downcast and couldn’t resist teasing, “If you don’t speak, I will take it as your disapproval.”
At this statement, Su Shiyu suddenly became anxious, but she was too embarrassed to express her willingness, mumbling with her head lowered, “I will listen to whatever Father and Mother decide.”
…
Jinling Guard’s base in the provincial capital.
Yan Wenkai looked at Xiao Yeyang, “Yeyang, when did you start investigating the aristocratic families of Zhongzhou? How come neither my third brother nor I knew anything about it?”
Xiao Yeyang smiled faintly, “If you knew everything, there would be no need for an Investigator like me.” He snorted, “If I didn’t have some skills and ability, would you two, along with the others, feel secure following me?”
Yan Wenkai scratched his head sheepishly, “You have a point.”
Yan Wentao could not help but ask, “Just by us visiting the Su Family like today, will they agree to Wenkai’s marriage proposal?”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the two, “The Jinling Guard is more sought-after than you imagine. It’s only because you’ve benefited from my and Daohua’s influence that you became Jinling Guards without undergoing selection. You should know, for others to become Jinling Guards, they have to pass through numerous selections, which are even more difficult than the martial arts civil service exams.”
“The Jinling Guard is the emperor’s confidant, capable of arresting anyone. Although officials of Daxia may fear us, having a relative or friend who is a Jinling Guard is also a matter of great honor.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Wentao felt a stir in his heart. With this in mind, could he also dare to hope for more?
As someone delivered documents, Xiao Yeyang waved his hand, “Alright, don’t just stand around here, get back to work.”
…
On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Li Zixuan got married.
Early in the morning, the Li Family was bustling with activity.
Eager to observe the ancient wedding process, Daohua also woke up early and ran to the bridal chamber with Li Zixin to watch the bride get dressed and made up.
Nearing 11:00 AM, a maid came to report that Su Hongxin had arrived with Su Shiyu.
Daohua felt a bit surprised, but soon became delighted. The Su siblings’ visit at this time, did it mean they were likely to agree to marrying Sister Shiyu to the fourth brother?
“Sister Shiyu!”
Daohua and Li Zixin greeted Su Shiyu at the Chuihua Gate.
Su Shiyu shyly glanced at Daohua, “My mother sent me to share in the joy. I hope my abrupt visit hasn’t disturbed you?”
Sent by Madam Su!
Daohua’s eyes lit up as she chuckled, linking arms with her, “How could it be disturbing? We are more than happy to have you here.”
Li Zixin eagerly nodded, “Exactly, having Miss Su visit our home is truly an honor.”
Daohua pulled Su Shiyu along, “Come, let me take you to see the bride. Take a good look at how she is during her marriage ceremony, so you’ll have the experience for the future.”
Upon hearing this, Su Shiyu blushed with embarrassment, pinching Daohua’s cheek lightly, “You’re the biggest tease.”
