Chapter 353: Those in charge are confused, but bystanders can see clearly
Su Wan opened her eyes and found that it was Jiang Yu, who was smiling at her tenderly.
"You're so old, and you're still so reckless?"
Su Wan broke free from his arms and looked at him in confusion. It was already night, why was he still here?
"You haven't left yet? I thought you went back."
Jiang Yu nodded:
"I wanted to see you before I left."
Didn’t you see it just now? Su Wan muttered softly when he heard this.
Jiang Yu would not be satisfied with just a glance. What he wanted was to be alone with her for a while, even if it was just to sit together quietly.
Missing someone is like an invisible hand. When a person has concerns in his heart, that hand will always pull him from time to time, increasing the longing in his heart that is about to burst out.
"Or, just stay here tonight and go with big brother to pick up the bride tomorrow."
Just now, Su Jing had invited him. Since he was here and it was so late today, he would go to pick up the bride tomorrow. Shen Qingli had someone deliver a message saying that the eldest brother of the Shen family had returned and had arranged many talented men and beautiful women to block the door. Many difficult problems were waiting for him, so he should be mentally prepared. Tomorrow, Su Jing would have to overcome many difficulties before he could win the beauty.
Jiang Yu happened to catch up and was drafted into the army, and was to follow them to break through the pass the next day.
"Are you going too?"
Su Wan looked at him in surprise, which meant that he was going to be the best man for his elder brother.
But it's also true that everyone is so familiar with each other, and the two of them used to call each other brothers. Although Su Jing minds the matter between him and his sister and has never told him for such a long time, his friendship with Jiang Yu remains unchanged.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong in inviting Jiang Yu to accompany him to pick up the bride.
After nightfall, the entire Su Mansion was illuminated by red lanterns, creating a warm atmosphere of joy.
"Well, I'm going too. Are you surprised?" He pulled Su Wan to sit on the stone bench in the yard.
"It's not surprising, it's great. Our Su family hasn't held a wedding banquet for a long time. This time, Big Brother and Sister Shen are finally together. I'm happy for them. Starting tomorrow, I'll have a sister-in-law."
There was a hint of pride in Su Wan's expression. He knew it in his heart before, but due to etiquette, he couldn't call her sister-in-law. From now on, he can call her that openly.
"My eldest and second sisters-in-law are both remarkable people. One is a talented woman from the capital, a lady from a famous family, and the other is the descendant of a miraculous doctor, with unparalleled wisdom. In the future, there will be third, fourth, and fifth sisters-in-law. They will surely be outstanding people as well."
Seeing her boastful expression, Jiang Yu just looked at her and smiled. It was great. These people would be his family in the future.
Before meeting Su Wan, he felt very lonely. After meeting her, that feeling of loneliness was getting farther and farther away from him.
"I went to Zhongzhou this time and brought the betrothal gifts that your grandfather prepared for you to Kyoto. However, I will give them to you privately. Only the gift from the Duke's Mansion can be given to you openly. I hope you don't mind. I'm afraid that if the ceremony is too grand, it will cause unnecessary suspicion and trouble."
There are too many taboos in Kyoto. If a family like the Duke's Mansion brings two betrothal gifts together to the Su Mansion, I'm afraid there won't be enough space to put them in two streets. This overwhelming wealth will bring about a lot of trouble. The censors in the court are all worried about their lack of achievements. It would be bad if they jointly impeached the Duke's Mansion for abusing their power for personal gain and making up some false accusations.
I’m afraid that it will also implicate the Su family.
Su Wan understood and nodded obediently. She knew that Jiang Yu was doing this for her own good, but he also wanted to give her the best to show his sincerity and respect.
Therefore, these things only need to be understood by the Su family themselves, and there is no need for others to see them.
"Does your father know about us?" Su Wan suddenly asked a question that caught Jiang Yu off guard.
He hadn't mentioned this matter to Duke Jiang yet. Firstly, the relationship between father and son was not good. It should be said that Jiang Yu had something against him. Whenever they were under the same roof, they spoke no more than ten sentences.
Secondly, Duke Jiang spent most of his time training in the military camp, and the father and son had few opportunities to meet, and he had never asked about Jiang Yu's marriage.
"I'll find a time to talk to him. My marriage is my own decision. Don't worry, Wanwan. After we get married, we don't need to live in the Duke's Mansion. We can move out. Or, I can live with you in the Su Mansion for a long time."
Jiang Yu had already made up his mind. He didn't care what others thought of him. As long as Su Wan was happy, that was all that mattered.
How could Su Wan not be moved when he heard him say that?
Living in the Su Mansion permanently in the future would be no different from being a live-in son-in-law. It would also be a matter of a man's dignity and face. I'm afraid he would become a laughing stock in Kyoto in the future.
Moreover, even if he is willing, will Duke Jiang be willing?
If his son moves out to live with his parents-in-law after getting married, wouldn't that be a slap in his face?
"Would your father, Duke Jiang, agree to this? I'm afraid he'd break your legs."
"He won't. The affection between him and me is weak. He never took care of me since I was a child. Besides, I'm not his only son."
From what Jiang Yu said, one could tell that he had a lot of opinions about his father.
Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly.
In fact, Duke Jiang's position on Jiang Yu is very firm. At least for so many years, he has been sitting firmly in the position of the prince.
His so-called other son has always existed as a bastard. It can be said that he gave enough dignity to the late Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yu.
Duke Jiang must care about his son, after all, he is the child of his beloved woman.
Su Wan had never met Duke Jiang, so she couldn't make any comments, but she had to admit that a person who was so well-regarded by the people and soldiers couldn't be that bad.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this and let me hug you, okay?"
Jiang Yu stood up, walked to Su Wan, then gently supported her head, hugged her, and let her head rest under his ribs.
I haven't seen her for more than a month. I miss this little girl so much.
Su Wan also stretched out his hand and put his arm around Jiang Yu's waist.
She could feel how good the man's body was, and his abdominal muscles were so hard that she wanted to pinch them.
Ah, bah, bah, bah…
What was she thinking about? Her thoughts went off track.
The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and then chatted sweetly. Jiang Yu didn't kiss her tonight. Maybe he felt embarrassed in this yard with the stars overhead!
Jiang Yu really stayed at the Su Mansion tonight, living in the same yard with Su Chen.
Anyway, the two of them often slept together in the military camp.
After Su Chen had a fight with Jiang Yu last time, he silently accepted the palm strike from him, and the resentment in his heart dissipated a lot.
Forget it, if I have to choose someone to be my brother-in-law in the future, it might as well be Jiang Yu!
