Chapter 981: Chapter 979: The Child Isn’t Su Hao’s?

Miss Su Miaoyan was called out and rebuked, directly jumping in front of Su Qinghe with her hands on her hips, angrily retorting.

How dare they insult her dear Brother Xiao Yu!

He was so handsome, smelled so nice, and was such a gentleman. Yet they dared call him foul!

It infuriated her!

A smile spilled into Xiao Yu’s eyes.

Behind him, Xiao Si chuckled, “Miss Miaoyan, you really protect the young master. You even dare to argue with the clan elder for his sake!”

Xiao Yu gently swayed his folding fan, seemingly still smiling, but his gaze was cold and indifferent, “Go check on this clan elder and see how much he must pay for pointing at Miaomiao and scolding her in anger.”

“Yes!” Xiao Si bowed and went off.

One could only mourn for the poor old man.

Before insulting someone, they should have cleaned their eyes and used their brain.

Being talked back to by two women successively, with Su Miaoyan, a mere fourteen-year-old girl, daring to counter him, made the elder lose all face.

Just as Su Miaoyan was about to speak again, Madam Yin hurriedly covered her mouth and dragged her back, whispering a warning in her ear, “You better restrain yourself!”

Su Miaoyan pouted stubbornly, “Why should I?”

She was already Brother Xiao Yu’s, and in all the lessons Xiao Yu taught her, there was never a word about restraint.

“Enough!”

As the room was in chaos, Su Qingzhi stood out, his aged voice authoritative and stern, “I have questions to ask. Those not called upon must stay silent, otherwise I will severely punish them!”

With a wave of Su Qingzhi’s dark red sleeve, the hall fell silent and all members of the Su family knelt neatly in unison.

Even Su Dingheng, who was brought out as a mascot, knelt with great alacrity.

In this Marquis’s Manor, although it seemed full of tough characters, Ninth Princess Consort, young general!

In the end, they were all descendants of Su Qingzhi, and no one dared disobey Su Qingzhi’s word.

Su Qingzhi approached Wu Jinyan first, and pointing at the edicts on the ground, he questioned her, “You’ve been to Bamboo Leaf Pass, and something happened there, did it not?”

His heavy voice, laden with sharp authority, bore down oppressively.

Wu Jinyan closed her eyes in agony, her teeth chatter, “Yes…”

Shaking his head in disappointment, Su Qingzhi asked the next question, trembling a bit himself, “Then the child in your womb, is it or is it not Su Hao’s?”

He could be indifferent to Wu Jinyan’s plight, but there’s one thing Su Qinghe said today that he very much agreed with!

The bloodline of the Su family must not be tainted!

Wu Jinyan trembled violently, those authoritative eyes of Su Qingzhi preventing her from looking up. Her blood felt like it was losing its warmth bit by bit, and a rigidity enveloped her, freezing her on the spot.

Seeing her like this, Su Hao felt an extra pang of heartache.

He hugged Wu Jinyan, telling Su Qingzhi, “Grandpa, Yan’er is my wife, and the child in her belly is my blood! You don’t need to press her anymore!”

“Su Hao, this isn’t the first time you’ve been irrational! On the battlefield, you could err because of this woman, and now, I simply can’t trust your words!”

Disappointment filled Su Qingzhi’s gaze.

He turned his look towards Su Yingxue, “Yingxue, you have the closest relationship with your brother, and you also get along well with Wu Jinyan. You should know whose child is in her womb!”

“Grandfather… The child in sister-in-law’s womb is naturally of our Su family. Please don’t be so oppressive. Let sister-in-law and brother go ahead with their wedding first. They have been waiting for this day for a long time, and it hasn’t been easy.”
