âStill delaying?â Su Wei was somewhat surprised. âThe Ninth Prince asked the Old General to come back a few months ago. During the half-month journey back to the court, the princeâs secret guards sent daily reports, urging you to return early. Are youâ¦â
Not wanting to accept Chu Yihanâs kindness?
Su Wei, with many years of military experience, had heard of Chu Yihan but had never seen him care about any general in the court as much as Su Qingzhi. Wouldnât it be inappropriate to reject Chu Yihanâs kindness?
However, Su Qingzhi just coldly snorted, âOffering unnecessary courtesy is either deceitful or thieving!â
âBut heâs the Ninth Prince. What harmful intentions could the Ninth Prince have?â Su Wei couldnât comprehend.
Su Qingzhi touched his sword, his eyes sharp and said, â1 know him better than you. This man is heartless. In the past six months, he has made significant moves and sent secret guards daily to report his schedule. He must be hiding something!â
He didnât mind making the Ninth Prince anxious.
In Jiang Du City, Chu Yihan received a secret report that Su Qingzhi was already outside the city but had not entered immediately.
Chu Yihan frowned and said, âMo Qi, prepare the horse. I will personally go outside the city to welcome the Old General!â
âYour Highness, itâs already past midnight. If we go at this time, the Old General will be resting, right?â Mo Qi felt that his cold and restrained Master couldnât hold it any longer.
âTheyâre already outside the city, but why donât they enter? Didnât the Old General want to reunite with his family as soon as possible? Didnât the secret guards inform the Old General that Su Dingwei and Qin Wan were also in the Marquisâs Manor?â Chu Yihan was puzzled.
Mo Qi quickly defended the secret guards, âIâve said it. How could they dare to neglect the Masterâs orders? I think the Old General must be tired after such a long journey. Seeing that they are already at the door, heâs not in a hurry, so he wants to take a rest before coming in, right?â
Chu Yihan thought it made sense.
He put down the news brought by the secret guard. âIâve lost my sense of propriety.â
If he went out of the city now, he would inevitably startle Su Qingzhi and might leave a bad impression on him.
This would not do!
He wanted to maintain his image in Su Qingzhiâs heart as the perfect God of War of the Great Cheng Dynasty.
In the Marquisâs Manor, Su Yingxue was also preparing late at night to welcome Su Qingzhi.
Zhilan looked at Su Yingxue, who was so busy that she was unwilling to rest. She teased, âMiss is always calm and steady in everything you do. Now that Master is coming back, youâre as anxious as a child.â
Su Yingxue was still holding an ornament in her hand. âYou havenât seen Grandfather for such a long time. Donât you miss him?â
Su Yingxue thought desperately. After all, in the eyes of others, her grandfather had only been on the battlefield for a few years, but to her, she and her grandfather had already been separated for a lifetime!
In her entire life, she had never seen her grandfather properly, leaned into his arms, and acted coquettishly.
Zhilan covered her mouth and laughed. âYes, 1 miss Master too. But I wonder, between Miss and the Ninth Prince, who longs for Master more?â
âHiss, your words are getting worse and worse!â
Su Yingxue chased after Zhilan angrily.
Zhilan was grabbed by Su Yingxue. Su Yingxue tickled her until she begged for mercy. âItâs my fault, itâs my fault. Miss, you miss Master the most!â
âLook at you, still talking nonsense!â Su Yingxue was playing happily with her.
Saint Ruan came over with a dark face.. âSu Yingxue, are all your patients this reckless? Su Han had just finished the surgery and she was already out of bed? Forget about getting off the bed, she even ran away? Does she want to go to the heavens?â
