Chapter 991: Chapter 989: She is Pregnant

As resilient as this.

Su Qingzhi shook his head with a low sigh and had someone take her and Xuan Zhu back.

Su Qingzhi was indeed having a headache tonight.

Chu Yihan had Su Yingxue go finish cleaning up other matters in the Marquis’s Manor, and he went to have a word with Su Qingzhi.

When Su Yingxue came back, the expression on Su Qingzhi’s face wasn’t so bad anymore, he even seemed a bit more amicable towards her.

“Come here!”

Although Su Qingzhi’s tone wasn’t good, the way he looked at Su Yingxue was much gentler than before.

Su Yingxue, lifting the hem of her skirt, ran over. She pouted and, hugging Su Qingzhi’s arm, cooed, “Grandpa, don’t scare me like that! I get scared!”

“You’re scared! If you’re scared, you shouldn’t have teamed up with your brother to deceive your grandpa! You two are really going to be the death of me!”

Su Qingzhi raised his hand high, seemingly putting a lot of force into it, but when his fingers touched Su Yingxue’s head, they were actually gentle.

Su Yingxue thought she was going to be smacked and braced for pain, but when the touch came down, it was neither painful nor itchy, and her heart lightened.

She took a deep breath, “Grandpa, I’m sorry! I was wrong this time, but I did it to help brother and Sister Jinyan.”

“You!”

Su Qingzhi patted her head and then earnestly taught her, “There are many ways to help them, but this was the most foolish! If you had told grandpa about Wu Jinyan’s plight, I might not have been unable to accept her, and the child could have been acknowledged as an adopted son and brought up in the Marquis’s Manor. But how could we confuse the lineage? How could I, as your grandfather, face our ancestors in hell if they knew what happened?”

Su Yingxue pouted, her voice muffled, “I know I was wrong…”

“You, you, you…”

Su Qingzhi was a mix of anger, annoyance and heartache, and in front of Chu Yihan, he didn’t dare to be rough anymore.

He pushed Su Yingxue away slightly, “Enough! A granddaughter who has married out shouldn’t always stay in the Marquis’s Manor, Your Highness seldom returns!”

He wanted Su Yingxue to go back to build rapport with Chu Yihan, after all, she was officially the Ninth Princess Consort; she couldn’t abandon her husband’s family for her own.

“I must trouble the Old General to look after her for a few more days. For the next while, I won’t be in the residence as the ascension to the throne requires dealing with many affairs,” Chu Yihan stroked Su Yingxue’s head, his profound eyes filled with reluctance.

“Ascension to the throne? Your Highness, you’re finally going to ascend! Is there… is there anything I can help you with?”

Su Yingxue’s eyes shone, thrilled!

Chu Yihan’s long-cherished wish was finally about to come true!

He once showed her the late emperor’s edict, clearly stating he was the chosen heir to the throne, only to have it seized by Chu Mingyuan, who also caused the death of his mother. This deep grudge was at last to be avenged!

And he was finally about to reclaim what was rightfully his!

The sight of her eager to help him softened his heart, but he still had some matters on his hands to handle and couldn’t afford to soften just yet.

His expression turned serious, “You don’t need to worry about other things. During this period, you should properly advise Su Hao. Tell him that, in time, I want him to lead the troops to conquer Qi State for me! This is his mission and responsibility!”

“I will persuade brother,” Su Yingxue obediently nodded.

Although she was reluctant, she believed that Su Hao would understand the importance of the situation.

“So, Your Highness, you’ll be very busy these days? It must be arduous, right?” Su Yingxue suddenly became concerned.

Chu Yihan nodded, “Mhm.”

“Then we…”
