Arrange the marriage for Su Qingli and Xie Linyuan
"Uncle Su, I will find someone to overturn the case for your Su family someday. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
Xie Linyuan was only close to Su Qingli and had no idea what kind of person Su Huaihai was.
He returned in a short time and didn't know that Su Huaihai's case was full of irrefutable evidence and there was no room for maneuver.
"Alin, you are so kind to our Su family. Let's sit down and discuss Qingli's marriage together. Then we can arrange your marriage well and let my Li'er marry in a grand manner."
Su Huaihai couldn't wait to marry Su Qingli to the General's Mansion and secure his support as soon as possible.
Xie Linyuan was also very happy, with a smile on his lips: "Since Uncle Su mentioned the engagement, please come with me to the mansion to discuss it. I will go and inform my parents so that we can arrange the marriage as soon as possible."
After saying that, Su Huaihai accompanied Xie Linyuan to visit the general's mansion.
Along the way, Xie Linyuan asked him about his well-being, and Su Huaihai praised Xie Linyuan with a smile on his face, praising him to the sky.
As they were chatting, they walked to the gate of the general's mansion. Two lifelike and majestic stone lions looked like door gods.
Xie Linyuan went forward and knocked on the door, and the sound of the copper ring hitting the wooden door could be heard from inside.
"Young General, please come in." The servant in the mansion stood respectfully at the door.
However, Xie Linyuan stepped aside, bowed slightly like a junior, and politely invited Su Huaihai into the general's mansion: "Uncle Su, please come in. You are our honored guest."
Su Huaihai felt very useful and stepped over the threshold happily with his hands behind his back.
Filled with joy, the good day was approaching. She patted Xie Linyuan's arm twice, saying, "Ah Lin is such a sensible child. It's a blessing for Li'er to marry you."
"Uncle Su, you're too kind. I'm truly blessed to marry Qingli." Xie Linyuan offered a few polite words before turning his head and ordering the servant, "Go and invite the general and his wife out."
The servant took the order and hurried to invite someone. Su Huaihai sat down on the chair as if he was entering his own home.
Xie Linyuan whispered to the servants in the mansion to bring snacks and fruits, and personally poured tea for Su Huaihai, which was enough to show how much he valued this marriage.
"Alin, what's the matter?" As soon as the mighty and majestic General Xie finished speaking in a rough voice, he glanced at Su Huaihai who was sitting quietly and drinking tea leisurely.
His expression suddenly changed: "Su Huaihai, what brings you to our general's mansion?"
General Xie had a hunch that the visitor had ill intentions. He had never been very optimistic about Su Huaihai's character. When he was a marquis, he lived a life of luxury and was completely uneducated.
Su Huaihai then stood up with a playful smile and greeted, "Father-in-law, I'm here to discuss the marriage between our two families. As the saying goes, men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough. A-lin and Li'er are also of marriageable age."
General Xie's sullen expression grew increasingly awkward, and Madam Xie, who stood beside him, was even more unwilling to give in. "Su Huaihai, your daughter is a broken flower, how can she be a match for my son? I advise you not to indulge in such wishful thinking!"
Xie Linyuan's face changed. "Mother, how can you say that about Qingli? She was also calculated by Fu Xuechen, and ended up in this situation today. As her fiancé, I should accept and tolerate her."
He felt guilty when talking about this.
He regretted going to the border in a fit of anger two years ago. He only hated that he did not trust Su Qingli at that time and fell into Fu Xuechen's conspiracy.
Mrs. Xie was heartbroken: "Alin, you are so confused. Why would a good man like you get entangled with a woman who has no self-respect?"
Xie Linyuan retorted helplessly: "Qingli is not the kind of woman you are talking about..."
"That's enough!" General Xie interrupted him angrily, refusing outright with righteous words: "Anyway, this marriage is over. Your mother and I will never agree to it. Just give up on it!"
Su Huaihai never expected that the old couple in the general's mansion would be so unkind and speak so unpleasantly about his daughter.
This was too much to bear. He slammed the table and said, "Old Xie, what do you mean by this? How can you insult my Li'er like this? It's better to cancel this marriage. With in-laws like you, Li'er will only suffer if she marries into the General's Mansion!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth impulsively, Su Huaihai felt a little embarrassed. His purpose of coming here was to curry favor with the general's mansion.
However, the two sides are currently at odds, and Su Qingli's engagement has been ruined.
"Uncle Su, that's not what my father meant. Please stop talking for a moment. I will give you and Qingli a satisfactory answer."
Xie Linyuan was caught in the middle and was in a difficult position. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and hurried over to calm Su Huaihai down.
He was afraid that Su Huai would get angry and leave, and there would be no possibility for him and Su Qingli anymore.
"Ah Lin, are you unwilling to listen to your father's words? If you are bewitched by a woman, how can you protect our country in the future?"
General Xie frowned and stared at Xie Linyuan.
Xie Linyuan was really at a loss for what to do with his parents, so he simply knelt down in front of them: "Father, please help Qingli and I get together. We are in love with each other, and it was Fu Xuechen who broke us up. We should have been a loving couple..."
With a loud slap, Xie Linyuan was slapped hard by General Xie.
Mrs. Xie was terrified. She quickly protected Xie Linyuan like a mother hen and advised him earnestly, "Master, why did you take it out on him?"
"A loving mother often spoils her child. Madam, please get out of the way. I want to teach this brat a lesson. He's grown too independent and won't listen to me!"
General Xie was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and pretended to beat Xie Linyuan up.
"Master, you can't do that. Beating him won't solve the problem! We only have this one son. Are you really willing to let him go?"
Mrs. Xie refused to give in and was determined to protect her only child, Xie Linyuan.
"Father, even if you kill me today, I will say that I will not marry anyone other than Qingli in this life!" Xie Linyuan's eyes were firm, staring straight at General Xie without any fear.
"You..." General Xie was so angry that his eyes were dizzy, his temples were throbbing wildly, and he almost fainted.
"Alin, don't say anything more. Your father and I will agree to the Su family's marriage proposal." Mrs. Xie lamented while supporting General Xie and stroking his chest with both palms to help him breathe smoothly.
Seeing that the matter was done, Su Huaihai, considering that he was short of money, immediately asked for money shamelessly, "Since that's the case, please give me some money, mother-in-law. Our two families are getting married, you can't just not show any appreciation, right?"
General Xie's face turned pale and his chest was pounding. Resisting the urge to punch Su Huaihai, Madam Xie grabbed his hand and soothed him softly, "Calm down, calm down!"
Then, Madam Xie ordered the servants in the mansion, "Come here, give him some money."
Su Huaihai got the silver and walked out of the general's mansion happily with his wallet. He didn't even say thank you, thinking that everything was natural.
Xie Linyuan sent Su Huaihai out, and before leaving, he did not forget to give him a few earnest instructions to please his father-in-law, "Uncle Su, if you run out of money, come to me, and I will honor you."
