"Grandfather, cousin, I'm deeply moved by what you've done for me. But how can the emperor disobey his wishes? The Su family has relied on the bloody battles and deaths of their sons and daughters for so many years. This glory should not be wasted on me."
Hearing this, Su Mu became anxious, "Wanyan, how can you say that about yourself? You are the only bloodline left by my aunt, so we naturally have to help you."
As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, Su Hairong nodded and said, "Yes, you have grown up so much, and our Su family has not done anything for you. When we think of your mother, we feel guilty."
After saying this, Su Hairong was filled with grief.
Xu Wanyan didn't know how to describe her feelings. When she learned that her mother might have been murdered, she felt some resentment towards the Su family.
However, he wanted to use the Su family more to get his mother's dowry back and find evidence that Xu Maocai and Zhao Yaru killed his mother.
Therefore, when she faced the Su family, she always looked calm and indifferent.
Now, seeing her grandfather sobbing in grief, she felt sad.
They also can’t bear to leave their mother!
Thinking of this, Xu Wanyan's eyes also turned red.
"Grandfather, Wanyan doesn't blame you. We cousins have been in contact for so long, and she is a kind and good child."
Su Hairong nodded, "I know, I know, how could Feng'er's child be bad?"
Hearing this, Xu Wanyan almost laughed. This was probably the love a father had for his daughter.
Su Hairong wiped his eyes and said firmly, "I must go to the emperor again. If you don't give me an explanation for this matter, I will take off my armor."
Su Mu and Xu Wanyan were shocked. "Is this too serious?"
"Hmph! He's the ruler of a country, but he doesn't keep his word. How can he expect an old fellow like me to work so hard to protect his country?"
"This, this... isn't good!"
Xu Wanyan was a little at a loss. She didn't have the nerve to marry Xiao Jingming. Besides, didn't they know Xiao Jingming's reputation?
Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea. She looked at Su Mu and Su Hairong and said, "Grandfather, cousin, haven't you heard the rumors about Prince Chen?"
When Xu Wanyan asked this, the grandfather and grandson were stunned. "What rumor?"
"There are a lot of rumors."
Xu Wanyan showed fear on her face.
Su Hairong stared at his grandson. "Mu'er, it's been a year or two since you returned to Beijing. Have you heard any rumors about Prince Chen that you'd like to share with your grandfather?"
Su Mu was confused, then filled with guilt, "Grandfather, this... I've been busy with my studies since returning to Beijing, and haven't heard any rumors about Prince Chen."
Su Hairong looked disappointed and glared at Su Mu. "You, nerd! Wait until your sister comes back and ask her."
Su Mu looked ashamed and was too embarrassed to look up.
"Grandfather, please don't blame my cousin. He has a heavier burden than me. Now, he studies in the academy every day and runs back and forth for my affairs. I am already ashamed enough."
"He's a man, so he should shoulder important responsibilities. Actually, it was you who recommended the academy and the teacher. He's been back in Beijing for a year and hasn't achieved anything."
Su Mu secretly glanced at Xu Wanyan and whispered, "I'll ask my classmates later. Perhaps they know about Prince Chen."
"Well, if you were interested, you should have found out all this a long time ago."
"Yes, it's my grandson's fault."
“Wanyan, stay for dinner today. Grandfather wants to have a meal with you.”
"good."
How could she refuse the old man's request?
"well."
Seeing that Xu Wanyan agreed, Su Hairong felt much better.
After lunch, Su Hairong looked at Xu Wanyan and repeatedly assured her, "Wanyan, your grandfather will definitely not let you down in your marriage. If Prince Chen is unreliable, I will find a reliable husband for you."
"good."
Xu Wanyan agreed with a smile.
When Xu Wanyan and Qiao Yun boarded the carriage back home, the grandfather and grandson finally calmed down.
"Grandfather, didn't you say that Prince Chen sent you a letter?"
In this case, my grandfather should be more aware of his talent.
Su Hairong nodded, "Yes, he wrote to me."
"What did he say?"
"He said..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Hairong suddenly thought of something and looked at Su Mu with a puzzled look on his face and said, "The soldiers in the north have a very good impression of King Chen. Could it be that something went wrong?"
"Is it really okay?"
"Indeed, although we are not in the same place as him, King Chen's name is still well-known in the border areas. He is known for his bravery and upright character."
The more he talked, the more he felt that what Xu Wanyan said was strange.
"What do you mean by euphemism?"
"Grandfather, let me go and find out everything first."
"Okay, okay, we must get to the bottom of this matter, and quickly. The emperor is just a jerk, and he's just a jerk."
Thinking of the situation when he met the emperor, Su Hairong couldn't help but feel angry.
"Grandfather, be careful with your words!"
"snort!"
In the end, he said nothing more and returned to the study alone.
Su Mu looked at the direction Wanyan left and hurried in another direction.
"Miss, it seems... nothing has been resolved."
Qiao Yun was a little disappointed. It turned out that the Su family could not help the young lady in any way.
Xu Wanyan smiled and said, "I will find a way to deal with this myself. Right now, maybe I can find the person who served my mother back then through my grandfather."
"As long as you're alive, you should be able to find it."
Qiao Yun watched the young lady talking to herself and felt anxious.
Before nightfall, Su Mu informed Su Hairong of the news he had heard.
Su Hairong was so shocked that he stood up immediately, "You, are you telling the truth?"
Su Mu nodded, his face solemn. "I heard all this from my classmates. Many people in the capital know that Prince Chen... is ruthless towards women."
Su Hairong fell silent and slowly sat down on the armchair. After a long moment, he looked at Su Mu and asked, "What do you mean by telling us this?"
Su Mu looked into his grandfather's eyes and said firmly, "Grandfather, my cousin wants us to know these things simply because she thinks Prince Chen is violent. She... probably doesn't want to marry Prince Chen."
"Yes, is it?"
Su Mu nodded. "If she wants to deceive Prince Chen, she definitely doesn't want to know these things. Otherwise, we should be worried about her."
Su Hairong nodded, "Yes, she is a sensible girl."
"Grandfather, since the emperor doesn't want Wanyan to be his legal wife, why don't you ask the emperor to cancel their engagement?"
Su Hairong pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, "You are right. Since the emperor is unwilling, then I will ask the emperor to cancel this marriage."
"Thank you, Grandfather."
Su Mu's face was full of joy.
"You little brat, what are you so happy about?"
