Chu Xiaotian could only watch as Song Chengyi escorted Su Han’s carriage away. He gritted his teeth and said, “Song Chengyi, I will not let you off!”
When Su Han returned to Marquis’s Manor, Song Chengyi couldn’t follow her into the inner courtyard, so he waited outside.
Zhifen came out to help her carry her things. Seeing her frown, she asked with concern, “Miss, what happened?”
“Nothing much. I just ran into Chu Xiaotian,” Su Han said lightly.
“What?!” Qin Wan happened to walk over. Upon hearing this, she hurriedly pulled Su Han aside to check. “How did you meet him? Han’er, did he do anything to you?”
Chu Xiaotian’s persistent pursuit of Su Han, despite their severed ties, deeply concerned Qin Wan.
“Mother, don’t worry. With General Song protecting me, Chu Xiaotian won’t be able to get close to me.” Su Han smiled as she mentioned Song Chengyi. “Mom, General Song is a loyal man. I hope you can support him in the future to repay his kindness to me.”
Qin Wan frowned slightly. “Your father had already applied for him to be promoted to deputy general, but he rejected it. If you want him to be promoted again, he has to wait at least three years, or he has to make significant contributions. The promotion of a general requires tangible achievements.”
Su Han was shocked. “Why did he refuse?”
Qin Wan shook her head. “Your father has asked him before. He said that there’s no one protecting you now, and he’s afraid you’ll be in danger at any time. It’s inconvenient for him to leave, so he hasn’t taken the position.”
Su Han felt a pang of guilt. She didn’t expect Song Chengyi to sacrifice his future for her.
She asked Qin Wan, “Did Daddy mention any other opportunities for him? I will persuade him to take office as soon as possible. Although he came to repay my kindness, he shouldn’t let it hinder his future.”
“Let’s discuss this later. Generals are all stubborn. If they don’t listen to your father, they might not listen to you either.”
Qin Wan held Su Han’s hand and entered the house, leaving Zhifen to handle the chores.
When they were alone, a trace of worry appeared on Qin Wan’s face. “Han’er, the marriage arrangement Mother had originally made for you has a bad reputation now. General Xiao Zheng’s attitude has also wavered.”
This was within Su Han’s expectations, so she wasn’t too affected. “Mom, if he doesn’t want to proceed, there’s no need to force him. I want to spend two more years with you and Father.”
“But… a woman ultimately has to get married, Han’er. Your father and I will never look down on you. Even if you want to stay at home for your whole life, I will take care of you forever. But with all the rumors circulating in the city, if there’s no one to protect you, it breaks my heart.”
Qin Wan wasn’t in a rush to marry off Su Han, but she didn’t want her to be troubled by rumors.
She knew Su Han was a resilient child at heart, but no matter how resilient she was, she couldn’t afford to be at odds with everyone. This invisible pressure ultimately harmed her the most.
“Don’t worry, Aunt. Soon, the rumors in the city won’t harm my cousin anymore!” Su Yingxue pushed open the door, bringing in the warmth of the winter sun.
Qin Wan was surprised. “Yingxue, why are you…? Why did you come out?”
During this time, Su Yingxue had been immersed in her research at the medicine hut. Even the marriage arrangements were handled by the household, so she didn’t have to worry about them.
When the rumors started spreading, Su Qingzhi decided not to inform her.
Now, she…
