BXBX NOVEL Chapter 960: 958 Disagree with the Marriage Proposal
In the past year, first, he bullied Lu Ying, then made a mistake on the battlefield, and got Wu Jinyan pregnant before marriage!
Su Qingzhi’s face turned ashen, “Do you know that you have completely disgraced me?”
Su Hao knelt upright, his face etched with guilt, “Grandson acknowledges his fault, Grandfather, and will have no complaints regardless of the punishment, but please grant your permission for my marriage to Jinyan.”
Su Hao shouldered everything alone, and the grim expression on Su Qingzhi’s face made Wu Jinyan realize that his punishment was unlikely to be light.
Her heart tremored violently, and the guilt inside her curled up bit by bit, “Old General, actually, this matter shouldn’t be blamed on Su Hao, it’s my…”
She subconsciously wanted to admit that the child was her fault, not Su Hao’s.
Yet Su Hao clasped her hand tightly, “Jinyan, what has happened has happened, leave it to me to bear!”
The pure black of his pupils reflected her image, and the scorching warmth of his palm gave her an immense sense of security.
Wu Jinyan’s heart was overwhelmed with ache, she bit her lip fiercely, her face turned pale, and her lips bled from the biting.
For Su Hao’s efforts, she knelt beside him in front of Su Qingzhi, earnestly saying, “Old General, I am to blame. The reputation of the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor has been damaged, and I have no means to make amends for now, but as Su Hao’s fiancee, I will certainly share the responsibility with him. No matter what the future holds, I will stand by his side. If you must punish, please allow me to be punished alongside him!”
Although she is a woman, she is Su Hao’s, and no matter what adversity or punishment they must face, she wants to bear it with Su Hao.
“Jinyan!”
A smile broke across Su Hao’s lips, unable to hide his excitement.
Su Qingzhi was not so unreasonable; he feigned sternness to give Wu Jinyan a way out in front of the clan elders.
Still, he was very pleased with Wu Jinyan’s performance.
He sighed in feigned helplessness, “Truly a disgrace of a descendant!”
Then, he turned to look at Su Qinghe, the most influential among the two clan elders, “My cousin’s opinion has always been of great importance in the Su family. I wonder what you think about the marriage of these two young ones, can it be sanctioned?”
Su Qinghe was known for his gravity and strict adherence to rules, with a strong focus on family hierarchy.
Originally, he would definitely not support Su Hao’s marriage to Wu Jinyan!
After all, Su Hao was the most excellent child of the younger generation in the Su family, and in the future, he was to inherit the title and uphold the honor of the entire Su family and the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, a matter that concerned the entire clan.
His wife would definitely have to be a lady of noble birth.
But now, he had gotten Wu Jinyan pregnant, and rumblings had already begun to stir on the streets. If Su Hao didn’t marry Wu Jinyan, the Su family’s honor was sure to be completely lost; who knows how long they would be slandered by the public.
However, Wu Jinyan’s status was simply too humble!
Su Qinghe’s expression was grave, “If he were my grandson, I would stop this marriage at all costs, but since Su Hao is your grandson, we clan members can only suggest. The final decision lies with you. But from what I see, if Miss Wu becomes the young madam of the manor, in the future, she absolutely must not engage in business publicly! This will not only disgrace the manor but also make outsiders criticize our Su family, saying we rely on a woman to support us!”
“No need to rush this matter; let’s wait until the child is born,” Su Qingzhi stroked his beard, “Since my cousin agrees, I think we should start arranging for their marriage to avoid any gossip about our Su family being irresponsible!”
