All her actions proved this point.
“Brother, I always felt that our mother came from another world and was very different from us,” Su Yingxue said, gazing at the moonlight in the sky.
“Another world? Although I don’t dare to agree, a woman like our mother is rare in this world. In all my years of experience, she was one of a kind,” Su Hao said with a smile.
Three days later, Old General Su’s reply arrived at the Marquis’s Manor. He agreed to Su Hao’s proposal to Wu Jinyan and even gave a golden saber that had been passed down in the Su family as a betrothal gift, asking Su Hao to present it to Wu Jinyan.
Su Hao took the golden saber and the letter to inform Su Dingheng, then asked Su Yingxue to prepare the betrothal gifts for him. They had decided to go to the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion the next day to propose marriage.
Su Dingheng saw that Su Hao had only come to inform him and hadn’t even asked if he agreed or not. He even used the old master’s golden saber to stop him. He snorted and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Su Hao didn’t have any feelings for him, but he looked worriedly at Su Yingxue beside him. “After I go to Bamboo Leaf Pass, you’ll still be in charge of the family affairs. Liu Shuian and her child, I’m worried…”
“Liu Shuian and her daughter can’t harm me. Brother, are you worried that Su Jinxuan can do anything to me?” Su Yingxue smiled in a relaxed manner.
Su Hao smiled, realizing that he was worrying too much.
The next morning, Su Yingxue and Su Hao led a formidable procession to the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion.
Su Hao changed into a bright red wedding outfit, and his handsome face looked even more striking. When he smiled, it made many girls on the street blush!
“Look! That’s Young General Su. He became famous at a young age and is now going to propose marriage!”
“Young general is so handsome! 1 wonder which lucky girl will be able to marry him! If 1 could marry Young General, I’d be willing to live ten years less!”
“If I could marry Young General, I’d be willing to live twenty years less!”
When Su Yingxue heard the comments from the women on the street, she turned around and playfully teased Su Hao. “Brother, did you hear that? To marry you, they are willing to live twenty years less!”
“Don’t joke around!” Su Hao was nervous. His hand holding the reins even trembled.
Today, he had come to propose marriage, and he didn’t know how Yan’er would react.
As the procession moved slowly, a figure dashed out from the crowd and aimed a sharp dagger at Su Yingxue!
“Sister, be careful!”
Su Hao’s quick reflexes allowed him to leap off his horse, swiftly twist Lian’er’s wrist, knock the dagger from her hand, and kick it aside.
The Marquis’s Manor guards immediately closed in around Lian’er.
Su Hao helped Su Yingxue dismount and asked her carefully, “Sister, are you okay?”
Su Yingxue shook her head. “Brother didn’t even let her touch me. What could happen to me?”
“Su Yingxue, you’re responsible for the princess’s death. Why are you so lucky? You should apologize to the princess! Go to hell!” Lian’er’s eyes were bloodshot, and she was determined to die along with Su Yingxue.
However, Su Yingxue looked at her coldly. “If your princess knew that you were courting death , I’m afraid she wouldn’t be able to rest in peace.”
“The one who tormented the princess is you! She begged so humbly, and you didn’t even help her fulfill a small wish! Why do you people from the Great Cheng Dynasty have to humiliate the princess ? She was such a kind person…”
Lian’er broke down in tears.. She had lived this long only to avenge the princess!
