Chapter 592: Chapter 543, Fake Accident_1

The Su Residence’s third courtyard.

Upon hearing her husband’s words, Madam Su expressed astonishment, “How could Father agree to this again? Did Wenkai come to the residence today and say something to Father?”

As the third master of the Su Family, he couldn’t disclose that Yan Wenkai was a member of the Jinling Guard, so he vaguely replied, “Father has given this a lot of thought. Weren’t you willing to agree before?”

Madam Su pondered for a moment, “Alright then, I’ll ask Shiyu what she thinks. Madam Li will return to the Huining Prefecture after the Li Family’s wedding ceremony is over. If our daughter also has a favorable impression of Wenkai, we can let Hongxin take Shiyu there on the wedding day to join in the festivities, which could also reveal our family’s stance.”

The third master of the Su Family nodded, “You decide then.”

Madam Su immediately went to her daughter’s courtyard. Upon entering, she discovered her daughter smiling foolishly at a glaze lamp, oblivious to her approach.

“Ahem~”

With a cough, Madam Su grabbed Su Shiyu’s attention.

“What are you thinking about?”

Su Shiyu was a little flustered, steadying Madam Su as she sat down, “It was nothing.”

Madam Su saw her daughter blush shyly and, recalling her son’s recent visit from the front courtyard, spoke without changing her expression, “Madam Li visited our house yesterday, and in her words, she hinted at wanting to discuss a marriage alliance with our family.”

Seeing her daughter nervously wringing her handkerchief, Madam Su continued, “Would you be willing to marry Yan Wenkai if the proposal came from him?”

At these words, Su Shiyu’s breathing hitched, her face and ears quickly flushed with redness.

Witnessing this, Madam Su understood. She did not know when her daughter had taken a liking to that lad Wenkai. Realizing her daughter had feelings but hadn’t shared them with her, Madam Su felt a bit downcast and couldn’t resist teasing, “If you don’t speak, I will take it as your disapproval.”

At this statement, Su Shiyu suddenly became anxious, but she was too embarrassed to express her willingness, mumbling with her head lowered, “I will listen to whatever Father and Mother decide.”

…

Jinling Guard’s base in the provincial capital.

Yan Wenkai looked at Xiao Yeyang, “Yeyang, when did you start investigating the aristocratic families of Zhongzhou? How come neither my third brother nor I knew anything about it?”

Xiao Yeyang smiled faintly, “If you knew everything, there would be no need for an Investigator like me.” He snorted, “If I didn’t have some skills and ability, would you two, along with the others, feel secure following me?”

Yan Wenkai scratched his head sheepishly, “You have a point.”

Yan Wentao could not help but ask, “Just by us visiting the Su Family like today, will they agree to Wenkai’s marriage proposal?”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at the two, “The Jinling Guard is more sought-after than you imagine. It’s only because you’ve benefited from my and Daohua’s influence that you became Jinling Guards without undergoing selection. You should know, for others to become Jinling Guards, they have to pass through numerous selections, which are even more difficult than the martial arts civil service exams.”

“The Jinling Guard is the emperor’s confidant, capable of arresting anyone. Although officials of Daxia may fear us, having a relative or friend who is a Jinling Guard is also a matter of great honor.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Wentao felt a stir in his heart. With this in mind, could he also dare to hope for more?

As someone delivered documents, Xiao Yeyang waved his hand, “Alright, don’t just stand around here, get back to work.”

…

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Li Zixuan got married.

Early in the morning, the Li Family was bustling with activity.

Eager to observe the ancient wedding process, Daohua also woke up early and ran to the bridal chamber with Li Zixin to watch the bride get dressed and made up.

Nearing 11:00 AM, a maid came to report that Su Hongxin had arrived with Su Shiyu.

Daohua felt a bit surprised, but soon became delighted. The Su siblings’ visit at this time, did it mean they were likely to agree to marrying Sister Shiyu to the fourth brother?

“Sister Shiyu!”

Daohua and Li Zixin greeted Su Shiyu at the Chuihua Gate.

Su Shiyu shyly glanced at Daohua, “My mother sent me to share in the joy. I hope my abrupt visit hasn’t disturbed you?”

Sent by Madam Su!

Daohua’s eyes lit up as she chuckled, linking arms with her, “How could it be disturbing? We are more than happy to have you here.”

Li Zixin eagerly nodded, “Exactly, having Miss Su visit our home is truly an honor.”

Daohua pulled Su Shiyu along, “Come, let me take you to see the bride. Take a good look at how she is during her marriage ceremony, so you’ll have the experience for the future.”

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyu blushed with embarrassment, pinching Daohua’s cheek lightly, “You’re the biggest tease.”

Daohua’s chest was aching from the collision with Yang Xiujun, but with so many eyes on her, she pretended to be fine and shook her head. Only after seeing Wang Manman and Bi Shi help Yang Xiujun up from each side, ensuring she wouldn’t cause any more trouble, did she laugh and brandish her whip.

“I had intended to test the groom’s reflexes, but who would’ve thought he’d slip away so quickly, making my cousin and I miss our mark.”

The incident happened so fast that most people hadn’t seen clearly. Hearing Daohua’s words, they all chuckled and continued to crowd around the groom to fetch the bride. However, a few people looked at Daohua and Yang Xiujun with meaningful gazes.

Once the crowd had dispersed, Daohua looked sternly at Yang Xiujun, who was keeping her head down.

Yang Xiujun hastily explained, “Cousin Wenkai, Cousin Yiyi, it wasn’t on purpose; someone pushed me.”

Daohua, uninterested in her excuses, quietly told Wang Manman, “Cousin Xiujun seems to have taken a fall. Take her back to the courtyard and have the maidservants take good care of her. When it’s time for the meal, send her food to her room.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiujun looked at Daohua incredulously. Was she being grounded? The thought instantly brought a pitiful look in her eyes as she turned to Yan Wenkai, “Cousin Wenkai…”

Yan Wenkai jerked in surprise and instinctively took a step back.

Daohua, seeing that Yang Xiujun was still trying to involve her fourth brother, showed her no face, “Cousin Xiujun, this incident will soon reach my mother’s ears. You wouldn’t want someone to come and invite you back to your room, would you?”

Yang Xiujun’s face turned pale, and her mind cleared instantly. She didn’t know what had come over her; in a moment of recklessness, she thought that if Cousin Wenkai publicly embraced her, even if the Su Family wanted to form an alliance, her mother and grandmother would side with her.

She had never expected that Cousin Yiyi would jump out and thwart her plan.

Not wanting to see Yang Xiujun any longer, Daohua looked at Wang Manman and Bi Shi, indicating for them to take her away quickly.

Yang Xiujun still wanted to struggle, but Wang Manman and Bi Shi exerted great force and almost carried her away.

Out of consideration for the Li Family’s reputation and to prevent outsiders from suspecting anything, Daohua called out loudly, “The cousin twisted her ankle; you two be careful with her.”

“Are you okay?”

Su Shiyu came over, looking at Daohua with concern.

Daohua shook her head, then told Su Shiyu, “When my eldest brother comes to the capital to present the betrothal gifts, my aunt and Cousin Xiujun will leave. They won’t stay long at our home.”

Su Shiyu nodded, understanding that Yiyi was trying to reassure her. She could clearly see the obvious intentions of that cousin, being someone accustomed to dealing with the inner house affairs.

Daohua glanced at Yan Wenkai, “Fourth brother, be more cautious in the future, try to stay away from the young ladies, and be careful not to be implicated by them.”

Yan Wenkai replied, “Big sister, do you really think I’m that foolish?” Looking at Su Shiyu, he added, “I know men and women shouldn’t touch each other, even if big sister hadn’t intervened, I would have moved aside.”
