Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Young girl, your words have a deeper meaning. You’ve also reached the age where you should be married. Do you have your ideas?” Su Qingzhi scrutinized Su Yingxue.
She possessed the same breathtaking beauty as Long Shuli, and her medical skills were even more remarkable. Running a clinic and overseeing the affairs of the Marquis’s Manor, she excelled in everything she did.
However, she was still a woman. How could she not have thoughts about marriage?
Su Yingxue didn’t deny it. She asked tentatively, “What kind of person does Grandpa think I should marry?”
Su Qingzhi had pondered this question carefully. Previously, when Su Yingxue showed interest in the Seventh Prince, he hadn’t opposed the idea of her marrying into the imperial family. After all, this Marquis’s Manor was Su Yingxue’s powerful maternal family, and she was certainly worthy of a prince.
But now that he was back and saw that Su Yingxue didn’t mention the Seventh Prince at all, and when he came to visit, she didn’t even spare him a glance, it seemed that chapter was already closed.
But her feelings for Chu Yihan…
Su Qingzhi took out a visiting card from his sleeve. “This is the letter Grandpa received today. Noble Consort Xiao sent it on behalf of the Xiao family’s Eldest Young Master. Would you be willing to go and treat the Xiao family’s Eldest Young Master?”
Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. “The Eldest Young Master of the Xiao family, Xiao Yu?”
She hadn’t interacted much with the Xiao family in her past life, but she could tell from Noble Consort Xiao’s demeanor how wealthy they were. It was said that the Xiao family’s businesses spanned various industries, forming a virtual monopoly, and held sway over nearly half of the Great Cheng Dynasty’s economy.
The Eldest Young Master of the Xiao family, Xiao Yu, was a business prodigy who had propelled the family to even greater heights. However, fate was unkind, and he hadn’t lived past thirty due to poor health.
Accepting the visiting letter, Su Yingxue thought to herself that Noble Consort Xiao was indeed astute.
Previously, she had received lavish rewards without any indication of what was to come. Now, she was being presented with the Eldest Young Master of the Xiao family.
“Grandpa, Noble Consort has previously come to my aid and bestowed me with many gifts. If 1 can heal the Eldest Young Master of the Xiao family, I’m willing to give it my best effort.”
Su Yingxue had barely finished speaking when Su Qingzhi said, “With your mother’s medical skills, there’s nothing that can’t be cured in the Eldest Young Master of the Xiao family’s illness! Don’t disgrace your mother.”
Su Yingxue was speechless.
Why did she feel like Grandpa was overestimating her?
No!
Grandpa was overestimating her mother. If she couldn’t cure him…
It would be like tarnishing her mother’s reputation!
Oh my god, so frightening!
Suddenly, she felt a psychological pressure!
The next day, Xiao Yu paid a visit.
After paying his respects to Su Qingzhi, Su Qingzhi naturally introduced Su Yingxue to him.
Su Yingxue looked at the Eldest Young Master of the Xiao family. His face was like jade, his skin smooth. If she hadn’t known his identity beforehand, she would have thought him to be a delicate young master from some noble family.
She never would have imagined that he was a powerful businessman in the business world.
There was no trace of the cunning of a businessman in his eyes. He was calm and collected.
But he was also very aloof.
Upon seeing Su Yingxue, he merely nodded. “Hello, Miss Su.”
Su Yingxue returned the greeting, and he said, “It’s my first time visiting Old General and Miss Su. Here’s a small gift as a token of respect. 1 hope Miss Su will accept it.”
Su Yingxue smiled and replied, “Young Master Xiao is too kind.”
Turning around, she was nearly blinded.
The courtyard was filled with boxes, the so-called “small gift” mentioned by Xiao Yu.
How wealthy was the Xiao family?
Xiao Yu paid no mind to her astonishment, showing no change in expression..
