Chapter 959: Chapter 957: Meeting Grandpa And

In the Marquis’s Manor, not a single word could be heard, and all the servants who came to pay their respects to her were especially gracious, offering their greetings with deference.

There wasn’t any discussion about her within the Marquis’s Manor, and with Su Hao constantly by her side, Wu Jinyan’s tense heart gradually relaxed.

Yet she still felt some unease, “Su Hao, this child’s origins are uncertain, and if Old General Su minds his existence and opposes us…”

What was she to do?

Previously, Su Yingxue and Su Hao had created an atmosphere of a unified Su family, with a vision unique and enlightened like theirs, and Su Han was no different; it was then that her mood had lightened, and she had agreed to return with Su Hao.

But as soon as she stepped into the Marquis’s Manor, the majestic and solemn atmosphere weighed heavy on her heart.

Su Hao had yet to tell Wu Jinyan about the plan he and Su Yingxue had, but he wasn’t one to lie, so he lowered his gaze and spoke in a deep voice, “Let’s go see Grandfather first, we shouldn’t keep the old man waiting.” freёnovelkiss.com

As they spoke, they had already reached the front hall.

The doors were wide open; the fragrance was inviting, and the five-meter-tall dragon-carved columns displayed the Marquis’s Manor’s grandeur.

In the lofty hall, Su Qingzhi and two elder members of the Su clan were seated with dignity above.

A seat had been left empty for Su Dingheng, Su Yingxue stood between the three elders, respectfully serving tea.

Even as the Ninth Princess Consort, with extreme honor, she still showed respect to Su Qingzhi and the elders.

Wu Jinyan’s palms began to sweat with nervousness as she approached the doorway.

The faces of Su Qingzhi and the two elder members did not look too good; they sat not just with dignity but also with a solemn gravity.

Su Hao also sensed something amiss, probably because of Wu Jinyan’s pregnancy.

She had deliberately worn loose clothing that day, which under normal circumstances, wouldn’t reveal much, but since the news had leaked, this outfit was in vain.

But having come this far, Su Hao took Wu Jinyan by the hand and stepped forward to pay respects to Su Qingzhi.

“Grandson pays respects to Grandfather. Grandfather, this is Jinyan, my fiancée,” Su Hao said, holding Wu Jinyan’s arm to signal her to greet Su Qingzhi.

“Jinyan pays respects to Grandfather, and to the two clan elders,” she greeted them with a voice gentle and warm, which should have suggested a shy demeanor.

However, Su Qingzhi was the first to speak up, “Are you already carrying Hao’er’s child?”

Wu Jinyan stiffened, a chill spreading up from her legs.

She had not expected Su Qingzhi to ask her such a question upon their first meeting!

Subconsciously, she protected her stomach, a difficult emotion creeping into her heart, a complex mix of feelings within.

If she were to say no, the child wasn’t Su Hao’s, considering Old General’s stance, he’d likely have her thrown out of the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor immediately!

But could she lie to him?

She could not!

Her nature and upbringing wouldn’t allow her to make such a response.

Wu Jinyan bit her tightly sealed lips until they bled. Before she could speak, Su Hao had already answered for her, “Yes, Grandfather, it was my momentary foolishness that led to Jinyan’s pregnancy. Now, I have brought Jinyan to pay respects to Grandfather and the clan elders, in the hope that you will consent, allowing me to expedite our wedding, to provide her and our unborn child legitimate status!”

After saying this, Su Hao kowtowed with a respectful and sincere attitude.

The two Su family elders looked gravely serious, while Su Qingzhi slammed his hand on the table, “Su Hao, you’re creating a ruckus! Have you completely forgotten all the upbringing the old man has given you?”

The former Su Hao had filled Su Qingzhi with immense pride, hadn’t he?
