Chapter 1001: Chapter 999: You’ve Taken it All

Su Han teased her, and Su Yingxue immediately became nervous, clutching her stomach.

She murmured subconsciously, “This little one really has a temper! It has given me quite a hard time these days!”

Remembering how she had finally been able to eat a little these past two days, Su Yingxue didn’t dare to get too excited. Together with Qin Wan and Su Han, she went to Su Ningzhi’s side.

The tea in Su Qingzhi’s hand had cooled down, and he only noticed this when Su Yingxue arrived.

Su Yingxue touched his teacup and pouted, “Grandpa, you can’t indulge in cold, have you forgotten my instructions?”

Although Su Qingzhi appeared strong, he was after all an elderly man. Having fought battles in the south and north in his youth, he had sustained quite a few old injuries. To live a long life, he was increasingly in need of good care.

Su Qingzhi patted her hand and his expression softened, “Grandpa has been negligent, I was just lost in thought and didn’t notice the tea had cooled. Get a new cup! Zhilan, hurry and get a new cup for me!”

“Yes!”

Zhilan answered crisply and immediately went down with Zhifen to get hot tea for Su Qingzhi and the others.

The weather in early spring was still chilling at night.

Su Yingxue also knew why Su Qingzhi was distracted. She just couldn’t accept it, “Grandpa, our Marquis’s Manor can completely refuse Lu Ying at the door. We don’t have to succumb to their threats! Brother is leading the troops on a campaign, and under his command, there isn’t just General Lu Chongming, but also Sisi! She can now assist Brother quite well, no less than those highly regarded generals!”

“Miss, you are oversimplifying matters. This time, the young general leading the troops has already enjoyed special favor from the emperor!” Su Wei sighed softly.

Su Qingzhi took a sip of hot tea and continued, “Not to mention whether there’s a connection between the emperor and Hao’er, our Great Cheng Dynasty has never had a commander under thirty years of age in charge of the military seal. His deployment this time may not even win the soldiers’ loyalty.”

If Su Hao wasn’t his own grandson, Su Qingzhi would not have agreed to let him take command at such a young age.

“So what? There has never been an Emperor who ascended to the throne at the age of thirty in the Great Cheng Dynasty either! If the Emperor can do it, why can’t brother hold the military seal? Both are paragons among men,” Su Yingxue said with a face full of pride and a hint of smugness.

“Yingxue is right. These two paragons among men, you’ve got them both. One is your hubby, and the other is your brother!” Su Han teased her again.

“Sister, you’re making fun of me!”

Su Yingxue playfully reached out to tickle her!

“Han’er isn’t wrong, Yingxue. You have indeed gotten hold of all the advantages!” Su Qingzhi pointed at her with a smile.

Su Yingxue pouted, “I admit I’ve picked up the advantages, but what about Lu Ying? Brother isn’t back yet, and he definitely won’t marry Lu Ying. If he refuses and sends Lu Ying away, won’t it be even more troublesome? I just want this Lu Ying to know her place and leave the Marquis’s Manor of her own accord, so she stops disturbing our peace!”

“It would be difficult to get her to leave. Today, they came with the emperor’s approval,” Su Qingzhi said, his expression turning grave. This was something he couldn’t quite understand.

Lu Chongming wasn’t impulsive, knowing that if this matter stepped on his sore spot, he might not accept this threat. Their family of martial generals might indeed have too great a temper and could end up having a falling out with him.
