However, this meant that Su Hao had to go to Bamboo Leaf Pass, which was thousands of miles away, and separate from Wu Jinyan.

“Brother, Grandpa is still guarding the Northern Territory. If you don’t want to go to Bamboo Leaf Pass, there’s a way,” Su Yingxue also felt a faint reluctance in her heart.

Su Hao shook his head, his gaze firm. “As a general, it was his duty to guard the border. If he could guard Bamboo Leaf Pass for the Great Cheng Dynasty in exchange for peace at the border, it wouldn’t matter even if he didn’t return to the court for the rest of his life. But Yan’er…”

Su Hao’s eyes showed a touch of heartache. The only thing that worried him was Wu Jinyan.

He served his country, which was perfectly justifiable.

But if he left, what would happen to Wu Jinyan?

Was he going to let her wait for him?

“If brother is afraid of letting Sister Jinyan down, then you can marry her now and let her become the young madam of the Marquis’s Manor. How about that?” Su Yingxue winked playfully.

“This is too hasty!” Although Su Hao said so, his heart was already surging.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about marrying Wu Jinyan immediately.

However, he didn’t have much time left and couldn’t prepare a grand wedding for her. He was afraid of neglecting her.

“Marriage is a little hasty, but engagement is simple. Let the world know that Sister Jinyan is Brother’s fiancee. This way, it won’t be considered letting Sister Jinyan down, but it will also give her a foothold in Jiang Du City.” Su Yingxue said frankly.

Wu Jinyan did not have a noble background. The Minister’s Estate had fallen, and her family was gone. Although she was now the owner of the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion, it was inevitable that people would criticize her. If she had the title of Su Hao’s fiancee, the future Young Madam of the Marquis’s Manor, her status in Jiang Du City would increase.

It was beneficial to her.

Even if Su Hao guarded the border, with this identity, no one would dare to offend her.

Su Hao smiled in relief. “That’s a good idea. I’ll immediately send someone to report this matter to Grandfather. When Grandfather agrees, 1’11 propose to Yan’er and get engaged to her first.”

“Brother, aren’t you going to tell Father?” Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows and reminded him.

Su Hao’s eyes instantly turned cold. “The Emperor has already agreed that my marriage doesn’t have to be ordered by my parents. I told Grandfather because Grandfather raised me single-handedly. As for Father…”

If it wasn’t for blood relations, Su Hao didn’t want to admit that he had such a father.

“Brother, is it because of Mother that you are so cold to Father? Can you tell me what Mother looked like?” Su Yingxue’s eyes were filled with desire.

She wanted to know everything about her mother, the mother she had never seen before.

The more she flipped through the notes and medical books she left behind, the more she felt that her mother was a great person.

Unfortunately, when she was born, her mother was already dead.

Su Hao pursed his lips tightly. In the past, Su Yingxue had never asked him about their mother.

He was also afraid that telling her would hurt her.

After all, his mother died on the day of difficult labor. With Su Yingxue, one lived and the other died.

But looking at Su Yingxue’s longing eyes, Su Hao slowly said, “Mother was a great woman, and she was also very humorous. When I was young, I fell into the lake out of playfulness, and Mother watched from the side. She only saved me after 1 choked on the water. 1 asked her why, and she said that 1 hadn’t drowned yet, so she wasn’t in a hurry…”

Su Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he talked about this memory, but in his impression, his mother was the best.

He talked to Su Yingxue for the entire afternoon. After Su Yingxue heard it, she was filled with emotion.

It turned out that the mother she had seen in the medical books was only a part of it. Her mother was truly a shocking person..”
