BXBX NOVEL Chapter 721 - A Different Woman
Zhilan was exceptionally meticulous.
Su Qingzhi left with Su Wei. Su Wei wanted to say something but hesitated a few times. However, seeing Su Qingzhi’s relaxed appearance, he did not say anything else.
When they reached the ancestral hall, Su Qingzhi spoke, “Ah Wei, do you think that I didn’t let Yingxue follow the rules like the other children?”
Su Wei nodded subconsciously. “Although General has agreed to Ninth Prince’s proposal and his marriage with Miss Yingxue has been decided, they are not married yet. Miss’s reputation is more important!”
“If it were any other granddaughter, Han’er, or Miaomiao, I would chase the person on the bed away and punish them.” Su Qingzhi’s stern expression didn’t seem like he was joking.
However, he had also said that if it was anyone else, Su Yingxue was not included.
This was indulgence and favoritism towards Su Yingxue.
“General, you didn’t object to Ninth Prince and Miss Yingxue being together. You just wanted to see how sincere Ninth Prince was to Miss Yingxue and which one he would choose in the future.”
Su Wei pointed out the main point.
This was Su Qingzhi’s painstaking effort, and he didn’t know if Su Yingxue would understand.
Su Qingzhi stroked his beard. “I’ve never been dissatisfied with the Ninth Prince. It’s just that the royal family is complicated and his identity is no different from the emperor. Look, even the emperor can’t do anything to him with the imperial seal that he brought today. That’s why I let him compete with Xiao Yu and Qin Muyan.”
“Young Master Xiao was easily persuaded by the Ninth Prince because he wanted to marry the Miss for the sake of his family. The Scarlet Flame King was defeated by his loyalty. If he would stab the Ninth Prince in the back, he would have won.”
“But I will not let Yingxue marry him. How can I entrust my life to a disloyal and unjust person!”
Su Qingzhi snorted!
However, he was very lucky. These three people who liked Su Yingxue were all loyal and outstanding people. Su Yingxue had also chosen the person she loved. His heart was extremely at ease.
When Su Wei saw Su Qingzhi like this, he couldn’t help but think of how he treated Long Shuli. He smiled and said, “The General’s treatment of Miss Yingxue isn’t any worse than the Second Madam! However, Miss Yingxue is not bold enough to pull your beard.”
Su Qingzhi was stunned for a moment. He touched his beard which was not long and instantly thought of Long Shuli’s action. She always said that his body was good and his beard could be used as medicine. She secretly wanted to cut it!
If the hard way didn’t work, then the soft way. She didn’t even know how much of his beard he had made her grow.
When the hard way didn’t work, she resorted to the soft approach. He couldn’t count how many times she had tinkered with his beard.
She claimed it could save lives, so sacrificing a bit of beard was no big deal.
His beard was always trimmed in half by Long Shuli, leaving it neither long nor short.
After Long Shuli left, even as his beard grew longer, he still habitually trimmed it like she used to.
That daughter whom he had adored so dearly!
“Since Yingxue is Shuli’s daughter, there’s no need to treat her like an ordinary woman. If she looks like Shuli, then so be it!”
This was how Su Qingzhi viewed Su Yingxue.
Long Shuli was a little fairy who had fallen into their world by mistake. He had never reprimanded her for changing her, but she had instead changed her.
Now, there was still Su Yingxue. She was also a different girl. Then, he must protect her like he protected Shuli.
He would not change her.
As long as he let her do what she wanted to do.
“She and Ninth Prince won’t do anything out of line. If they do, no one can say anything when they become husband and wife.” When Su Yingxue was mentioned, Su Qingzhi’s eyes were filled with love.
