Su Wei held his breath for a long moment, while Su Qingzhi moved to another room and sat down. Only then did he dare to exhale. “Eldest Young Miss’s skills have truly grown. Her medical expertise is so exquisite, and we nearly got caught by her.”
Su Qingzhi felt a surge of pride. “Why don’t you see whose granddaughter she is!”
Su Wei smiled. “General, you’ve been concerned about Miss at the border these past years. Now, you can rest assured, right? Miss can manage such a large clinic, and she can even identify locations by sound. Her martial skills must have improved greatly. She’s not someone to be trifled with.”
Su Qingzhi’s face, wrinkled with age, raised his eyebrows. “When have 1 ever been worried?”
Su Wei was speechless.
“General, you’re quite a bit of a show-off!” Su Wei thought.
After Su Yingxue finished attending to the last patient, it was already late. She instructed Manager Qi to have someone watch over the female patient for the night. Concerned for her safety returning home so late, she even arranged for her carriage to take the patient home.
Manager Qi sighed softly. “Miss always thinks of the patients. It’s late, and you should return to the Marquis’s Manor.”
“I’m not afraid. Manager Qi, you should rest too!”
Su Yingxue stretched lazily and suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching. Su Qingzhi’s aged voice sounded particularly resolute. “Indeed, you are my granddaughter. Just a night road , there’s nothing to fear!”
Su Yingxue was stunned. Her blood momentarily chilled, then immediately boiled like flames.
Her lips quivered. “Grandpa?”
Su Qingzhi, clad in armor, looked strikingly heroic despite his age. His steps remained as steady as ever.
Su Yingxue rushed into his embrace, and he caught her firmly, patting her back. Despite his stern demeanor, his eyes softened with affection. “There, there, be good.”
His large hand gently patted Su Yingxue’s back. He was delighted to see her longing for him.
But then he heard sobbing from his embrace.
“Grandfather, you’re finally back. My grandfather…”
Su Yingxue couldn’t hold back her tears. Emotions surged within her, releasing the pent-up grievances and hatred she had harbored for so long.
“Grandfather, I’m sorry. I was foolish. It’s all my fault! It’s all because of me…”
Su Yingxue cried out emotionally. In her past life, her grandfather had been killed because of her!
Even in his final moments, her grandfather had been worried about her!
She had wasted over a decade of her grandfather’s love!
“What’s wrong? You’re now… You’ve already surprised me.”
Su Qingzhi cradled Su Yingxue’s face. She cried like a kitten, a hint of her mischievous childhood evident. But from what he had observed during the day, she was composed and skilled in medicine, vastly different from before he left.
“I still remember when you were this tall, wearing a pink dress, pouting unhappily, saying if 1 didn’t take you, you wouldn’t want me anymore!”
Su Qingzhi reminisced, his deep eyes tinged with red.
Su Yingxue looked at Su Qingzhi’s palm, barely reaching her shoulder. She squatted, using her head to support his hand, then stood tall and proclaimed, “Now I’m this tall!”
“Yes, you’ve grown so fast! And so… beautiful!”
Su Qingzhi sighed deeply. “You’re just like your mother, both devastatingly beautiful..”
