The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 1003 - 1001: Asking Each Other for Favors

Chapter 1003: Chapter 1001: Asking Each Other for Favors

Su Han advised him, “Sister also knows you’re unwilling, but once you’ve accepted something, you eventually have to face it.”

Su Han, mature and composed, patted Su Hao’s arm.

Su Hao nodded as if in compromise, “I understand, sister.”

After Su Han delivered her message, she didn’t rush to leave. Su Hao, after much hesitation, finally spoke to her, “May I ask you a favor, sister?”

Su Han covered her mouth, chuckling softly, “I haven’t left yet because I was wondering how long I’d have to wait for you to ask me for a favor!”

Su Hao’s tense expression suddenly eased.

He was somewhat embarrassed, “Sister, you’re already so busy with your business on normal days, you don’t even have time for marriage, but Yan’er… she’s due to give birth in a month, and I can’t be by her side. I hope you can look after her more and ensure the safety of both mother and child.”

“That, even if you hadn’t asked, I would have done it. Jinyan might not have become my sister-in-law, but she is still the best friend of Yingxue and me. If I hadn’t seen in her the brilliance of an independent lady from a noble family, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today, nor would I have thought about pursuing my own happiness. So rest assured, when Jinyan is giving birth, I will be by her side every step of the way, doing everything I can to keep her safe.”

“In that case, Su Hao thanks you very much, sister!”

Su Hao said this and was about to kneel down to her in a gesture of gratitude.

Su Han quickly lifted him up, “How can this be appropriate? Though you are my brother, and it would be no harm to show respect to your sister, you are also the commander of this great army. There’s something I would like to ask of you too!”

“Is it about General Song Chengyi that sister would like to ask?” Su Hao asked with a tender smile, “I appointed General Song to join me in the campaign. Are you going to spend the days in worry, possibly blaming me?”

“When did you learn to be so smooth-talking from Yingxue? You know that taking him with you is a great opportunity for him to earn his merit. How could I blame you!”

Su Han playfully scolded him.

Su Hao smiled lightly, “Rest assured, sister. General Song is a rising talent, brave and resolute. He will surely earn his merits. Like General Lin, he is one of the people I rely upon.”

Su Han nodded, relieved.

Su Hao and she went back to their own affairs since they both still had tasks to attend to.

Su Han was to prepare Song Chengyi’s travel equipment while Su Hao headed to Lu Ying’s courtyard.

The separate residence that Qin Wan had arranged for her, the He Feng Yuan, was in the Marquis’s Manor, boasting the most beautiful scenery, but, it was a great distance from Su Hao’s courtyard—one to the south, the other to the north.

It took quite some time for Su Hao to walk there.

The young girl who came with Lu Ying as part of her dowry was another one of her personal secret guards, Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye had been waiting outside for a long time, seeing not a single soul, and was about to go back and suggest to Lu Ying to rest early when she saw a tall figure approaching from afar.

As he drew near, she recognized him and greeted him with a smile, “My respects to the young general! The madam has been waiting for a while!”

Su Hao’s face was cold as frost, paying her no heed as he stepped into the bridal chamber.

Though this bridal chamber was arranged temporarily, it did not fall short of the Marquis’s Manor’s standards—grand and luxurious with all the necessary amenities, including a pair of dragon and phoenix candles as thick as arms, already burned halfway.

Lu Ying sat with her veil covering her head, yet she sensed Su Hao’s presence.

His aloof and abstinent demeanor, so attractive to her!

Her heart beat rapidly as she whispered softly, “Su Hao, you’ve come, I just knew… you would definitely come…”

Su Hao approached the front of Lu Ying’s bed, his boots visible in her line of sight. Overwhelmed with joy and excitement, Lu Ying called out to him, “Husband… husband! You’ve come, you can… you can lift the veil now.”
