Chapter 999: Chapter 997: The Bridal Sedan Comes to Force a Marriage
His words were tinged with sorrow, evoking much sympathy.
But among these people, Su Yingxue was not included; she couldn’t even be bothered to turn her head to glance at Su Dingheng.
In the Marquis’s Manor, among the numerous elite children, only Su Dingheng and Su Xinlan were exceptions. Su Dingheng was out of place here; he tasted nothing during the meal and left as soon as he had finished eating.
He had no right to send Su Hao off to the military deployment, nor did he have any right to care for Su Yingxue. The taste of solitude and desolation at this moment made his heart curl up and tremble violently.
The image of Long Shuli emerged before his eyes.
She was always so unrestrained and carefree, but whenever he tried to get close, she would say with a hint of scorn, “Su Dingheng, you’re not worthy!”
Overcome with trembling, a chill swept over his entire body. He wrapped his clothes tightly around himself and slunk back to the rear courtyard.
A few days left before Su Hao’s deployment, the once calm Marquis’s Manor, which quietly awaited Su Hao’s departure, was once again disturbed from its tranquility.
Lu Chongming, carrying a bridal sedan, arrived at the gates of the Marquis’s Manor with Lu Ying, announcing his intention to marry his daughter into the Marquis’s family, to the young general.
The marriage between Su Hao and Wu Jinyan had been destroyed prior, and the affair between Su Hao and Lu Ying had spread. The Marquis’s Manor was engulfed in controversy, but the matter had been overshadowed by Chu Yihan’s ascension to the throne, and after a month, everyone had almost forgotten.
However, Su Hao was about to be deployed, and he had appointed Lu Chongming as a general to deploy with him.
Lu Chongming was a mature and steady person, and his actions were by no means rash.
He stopped the bridal sedan at the main entrance of the Marquis’s Manor, not intending to coerce or entice Lu Ying inside, but rather, he calmly waited for someone from inside to come out.
At this moment, Su Hao was discussing matters in the palace, so the decision-making in the manor fell to Qin Wan. After consulting with Su Qingzhi, Qin Wan intended to send Zhifen to inform Su Yingxue, but Su Qingzhi shook his head, “Don’t go at this moment. The emperor hasn’t yet summoned her into the palace. We don’t know his intentions. Her appearance isn’t suitable, and her pregnancy is unstable. She can’t exert herself. Watch over her courtyard and make sure she remains unaware of the situation.”
Qin Wan nodded, “Father is thoughtful.”
She accompanied Su Qingzhi to go out together.
Approaching the entrance of the Marquis’s Manor, Lu Chongming hurriedly came forward to pay respects, “General Lu Chongming, at your service, Old General Su.”
“General Lu, there’s no need for such formalities.” Su Qingzhi gave him a hand to rise, ostensibly with respect, yet with a subtle hint of pressure, “General Lu is highly respected and has glorious military achievements. I have always regarded General Lu as a wise man. But what is the meaning of today’s actions?”
Bringing the bridal sedan directly to the entrance of the Marquis’s Manor!
Undoubtedly, Lu Ying was sitting inside the bridal sedan!
This was coercion!
Lu Chongming maintained his composure, with an expression neither humble nor arrogant, “Old General, everyone knows that my daughter is already bound to the young general. Today, I have specially brought my daughter to the manor, hoping that before he departs, they as husband and wife can reunite.”
“General Lu exaggerates. Our family’s Hao’er is about to depart on a military mission, with military affairs weighing on his mind. He really has no thought to spare for marriage at this time. Our manor has not yet found a suitable wife for him either. This reunion of husband and wife truly cannot be mentioned.”
Qin Wan tactfully yet without compromise expressed the stance of the Marquis’s Manor. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
They certainly hadn’t said they intended for Su Hao to marry Lu Ying.
“Does madam mean to say that there has been a misunderstanding on my part? Are you suggesting that the manor’s young general, the current commander, does not intend to take responsibility for my daughter? Is this… the stance of the Marquis’s Manor? Or the commander’s intention?”
Lu Chongming looked bewildered, even a bit flustered.
