Su Yingxue slowly attempted to move. Her legs went numb, causing her face to twitch. “Granddaughter doesn’t dare to blame Grandfather.”
After experiencing a lifetime of such mistakes, she knew that Grandfather would never harm her.
No matter what happened, Grandfather loved her sincerely.
Therefore, she didn’t delve into what had happened during the day.
However…
After managing to stand up, she staggered two steps in front of Su Qingzhi. “But I have to tell Grandfather that since I’m fond of Chu Yihan, I must marry him.”
“With such determination, won’t you marry anyone else in this lifetime?”
“Yes, Grandpa!”
Su Yingxue’s pitch-black eyes reflected two flickering candle flames, making her gaze particularly deep and serene.
She didn’t act impulsively. She had thought it through.
“Grandfather, even if it means sacrificing everything, I must be with him. There won’t be anyone else in this world who loves me as much as he does.”
Su Yingxue was resolute and determined.
Through her face, Su Qingzhi saw a shadow identical to hers.
“Father, no one in this world can stop me from doing what I want to do. I, Long Shuli, must do what I want to do, even if it means sacrificing my life!”
That voice was as melodious as Su Yingxue’s.
Su Qingzhi looked at her back and smiled with relief. “They’re mother and daughter. They’re still so alike!”
With no one around, Su Wei came to report to Su Qingzhi. “General, there are people from the Ninth Prince’s side watching outside the Marquis’s Manor, but they haven’t entered or posed a threat to the manor’s security. However, Young Master Jinxuan’s recent movements have been suspicious. He’s gone to the Seventh Prince’s residence.”
The smile in Su Qingzhi’s eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a cold pressure. “Keep a close watch on his every move for me!”
“Yes, General!”
Su Yingxue’s legs were sore as she rode to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.
She knocked on the door as usual.
When the old steward came out to see her, he sighed heavily. “Miss Su, Your Highness has already retired. Please come again tomorrow. I’m afraid this marriage…”
It was becoming difficult.
“Please open the door and let me see Your Highness! Grandfather will agree to our marriage. I will marry him!”
Su Yingxue rubbed her knees and said earnestly to the old steward.
The old steward closed the door with a regretful expression.
“Alt!”
Su Yingxue pounded on the heavy door, suddenly feeling her hands weaken.
She couldn’t possibly force open a door that weighed hundreds of pounds.
But… She had to climb over the wall!
Different from before, this time she not only had to climb over the wall but also had to avoid the guards in the mansion, hiding and sneaking until she finally reached Chu Yihan’s courtyard.
“Miss Su, you should go back. Your Highness has indeed ordered not to see you today. You don’t need to come to the mansion anymore.”
Mo Qi held his sword and blocked her way.
He, too, felt regretful, but he had the same responsibility as the old steward. No one could disobey Chu Yihan’s orders.
He even said, “If Miss Su insists on entering today, I’ll have to fall first.”
Su Yingxue rubbed her knees. She squatted on the ground for a moment before raising her head to ask Mo Qi, “Tell me, after kneeling for six to eight hours, what are the chances of me beating you down?”
Mo Qi was speechless.
They weren’t high, right?
They might even be relatively low.
Su Yingxue massaged her knees and prepared to confront Mo Qi.
