Su Yingxue held onto the reins and rode back to Su Qingzhi’s side. A smug smile adorned her picturesque face. “Grandfather, I’ve tamed it. Let’s go home!”
“Good!”
Su Qingzhi smiled heroically. “As expected of Shuli’s daughter, as expected of the descendant of the Su family!”
It made him proud!
Su Qingzhi and Su Yingxue returned to the manor in the starry night. Most of the people in the Marquis’s Manor had already rested. Su Qingzhi did not care about his appearance and did not need any grandeur. After entering the manor to change, he asked Su Yingxue to accompany him to the ancestral hall.
In the ancestral hall, Su Qingzhi looked at the incense that continued to burn. He instructed Su Yingxue, “Go and burn an incense stick for your mother on behalf of grandfather.”
“Yes, grandfather.”
Su Yingxue lit the incense and knelt on the ground. She kowtowed three times and lit the incense for her mother.
Although she had never met her mother, she had heard that her grandfather liked her mother very much and had always doted on her like his own daughter. Su Hao had told her that when her mother passed away, her grandfather was so sad that he fell ill for a long time.
Su Qingzhi looked at Long Shuli’s memorial tablet with a complicated expression. He didn’t know who he was talking to, or perhaps he was murmuring to himself, “My child, have you gone back yet? How have you been over there all these years?”
Did her father love her?
Was life going well?
“Grandfather, what are you talking about?” Su Yingxue took the cloak from Zhilan’s hands and draped it over Su Qingzhi.
Su Qingzhi retracted the longing and regret in his eyes and walked out of the ancestral hall with Su Yingxue’s help.
The two of them had a good chat, and Su Qingzhi roughly understood what kind of changes Su Yingxue had experienced in the past half a year.
Su Qingzhi stopped for a moment when he passed by Sunset Court.
Su Yingxue pursed her lips. “Grandfather, will you blame me?”
She had avenged herself by killing Liu Shulan and leaving Su Yurou’s corpse incomplete. She had no regrets, but her grandfather, would probably take into account that she was still a descendant of the Marquis’s Manor, right?
“You did the right thing.”
In just an instant, Su Qingzhi threw away the heartache in his eyes and replaced it with a cold and stern expression. “If the children of my Marquis’s Manor behave like this, they are not worthy of being the descendants of my Marquis Manor. Their deaths are not worth regretting!”
He valued character and ability above everything else. Even if they were his grandchildren, if they were not worthy, he would not tolerate them.
Even if she wasn’t a descendant of the Marquis’s Manor, but someone like Long Shuli, who had noble morals and outstanding abilities, he would still treat her like his own daughter. He would give her the best of the Marquis’s Manor and everything he had for her son and daughter.
Su Yingxue supported Su Qingzhi and continued walking forward. In Sunset Court, a pair of malicious eyes were filled with hatred. “Old thing, 1’11 kill your Su Yingxue sooner or later!”
To avenge his sister and mother!
Saying that they were not worthy…He would personally overturn this Marquis of Martial South’s Manor and destroy everything they protected and cared about!
Su Yingxue felt that she had endless things to say to Su Qingzhi. When she brought him to the medicine hut, she told him that she was going to perform the surgery for Su Han.
“How is Han’er’s body now?” Even though Su Dingheng had inherited the title a few years ago and the branch manor had become independent, he still missed his grandchildren.
Su Yingxue’s eyes turned solemn. “I haven’t heard from Cousin these few days. I’ve already taught the people of the prince’s mansion of Yong’an County a lesson. Now, it’s not good for me to go to visit them again. Otherwise, cousin’s life will be even worse.”
She wasn’t the daughter-in-law of the prince’s mansion of Yong’an County, so she couldn’t understand Su Han’s suffering..
