“Yes, Grandpa, Han’er will abide by your teachings.”
Su Han smiled and took her leave.
When she arrived, the sky was covered in dark clouds, and as she departed, it remained the same. Yet, she felt as if she had glimpsed sunlight, bringing a hint of vibrancy to her eyes.
“Miss, Master sent me to escort you.”
A rough male voice rang out.
The voice startled Su Han.
Looking down, she saw a man clad in armor with an iron mask. He seemed familiar. “Are you General Song?”
Song Chengyi nodded. “Yes.”
“You… Why do you look ?” Zhifen was taken aback.
Ever since Su Han got into trouble, Su Dingwei had been concerned about her and decided to select one of his subordinates to accompany and protect her.
To avoid causing her parents to worry, she agreed to this arrangement.
However, upon seeing Song Chengyi, she couldn’t help but be surprised. “General Song holds a high military rank. It seems like it would be a waste for him to protect me. I ll report back to Father so I don’t need to trouble General Song.”
Su Han was polite. Song Chengyi glanced at her and asked, “Miss, am 1 frightening you?”
Ordinary people reacted to him the way Zhifen did.
At first glance, Su Han seemed taken aback.
Su Han pressed her lips together. “Not at all.”
“Miss, do you know this General Song?” Zhifen whispered. “Indeed… he’s a bit scary.”
Though Song Chengyi may not have heard Zhifen, Su Han reprimanded her. “Zhifen, apologize to General Song. He is Father’s subordinate and tasked with protecting me. Do not speak ill of him!”
Song Chengyi felt somewhat overwhelmed. “Miss, there’s no need for such formality. I was injured in battle, and my appearance is unattractive, my voice unpleasant. 1 often startle people. It’s my fault.”
“General Song, do not underestimate yourself. It was my maid’s thoughtlessness. Zhifen, apologize at once!” Su Han’s tone turned stern.
Zhifen realized her mistake and immediately knelt before Song Chengyi. “1 didn’t mean any offense. Please forgive me.”
Song Chengyi shook his head. He didn’t wish to frighten Zhifen further, so he remained silent.
Once Su Han boarded the carriage, he mounted his horse and escorted her back.
Su Han paid no mind, but she failed to notice the fervent determination in the eyes beneath the iron mask.
Meanwhile, in the medicine hut, Su Yingxue’s expression remained grim.
Despite Saint Ruan and Su Miaoyan’s playful banter, her lips remained tightly pressed.
Unable to bear it, Saint Ruan stood on a stool and huffed. “What’s there to worry about? That’s Chu Yihan. I’ve known him since he was a child and he’s never been defeated.”
“Braggart! Your Highness is much older than sister. How could you have watched him grow up!” Su Miaoyan teased, sticking out her tongue at Saint Ruan.
Observing Saint Ruan’s smooth face, Su Miaoyan couldn’t help but compare it to Su Yingxue’s.
He watched Chu Yihan grow up?
Saint Ruan raised his charming peach blossom eyes. “I’m seventy-two.”
Su Miaoyan tumbled off the stool and onto the ground, wincing in pain.
Su Yingxue reached out to help her, and Su Miaoyan’s eyes widened in shock. “Sister, is he telling the truth?”
Su Yingxue nodded matter-of-factly. “Absolutely. He’s quite the old man!”
Su Miaoyan’s mouth gaped wide enough to fit her fist. “Why would an old man…. have such flawless skin?”
