Chu Yihan pinched the soft flesh on Su Yingxue’s face and raised his eyebrows. “You’re right.”

Su Yingxue was indeed intelligent.

After returning to the mansion, she informed Su Qingzhi about Su Han, finally putting his lingering worries to rest.

After having dinner in the Marquis’s Manor, Su Han bid farewell and returned home with her parents.

As she packed her belongings before leaving, Su Yingxue couldn’t help but express some concern. “Sister, wouldn’t it be better for you to stay a few more days in the Marquis’s Manor? I could help you with your recovery.”

Su Han smiled faintly. “No need. I’m fine now. I’ll just follow the prescription you gave me when 1 get back.”

Su Yingxue wanted to say more, but Su Han anticipated her thoughts. “I know you’re looking out for me, worried that 1 won’t handle the gossip when I return home, so you want me to stay in the Marquis’s Manor and have your support.”

Su Yingxue smiled in relief. “Sister is perceptive and can see through everything.”

Su Han was truly remarkable.

“Although I am the daughter of the Marquis’s Manor, I have been married before. We have been separated for many years. Returning now might lead to gossip. Besides, 1 also want to return home to take care of my parents. Mother worries about me all the time and has lost weight. My father is injured, and my younger siblings are still young. As the eldest sister, it’s time for me to take charge.”

Su Han was considerate, whether in the Regional Prince’s Mansion or at home.

Sometimes, Su Yingxue didn’t know whether to pity her. She was too considerate of others, neglecting herself. Or should she commend her for being so understanding, and willing to sacrifice her interests for the greater good?

Perhaps both interpretations were valid.

Su Yingxue didn’t try to convince her to stay longer. Before leaving, Su Han gave her two suggestions. “You and Ninth Prince are in love. It’s time to inform Grandfather and ask for his blessing. Also, Miaoyan is a clever girl. It’s a waste to keep her at home. She should learn from you. It might lead to better opportunities in the future.”

“Sister’s insight is truly admirable.” Su Yingxue couldn’t help but praise.

Su Han smiled faintly and went even further in her thoughtfulness. She told Su Yingxue that she had already consulted with Grandfather and arranged for Chu Yihan to be publicly thanked at the Marquis’s Manor. This would be the perfect opportunity to bring up her relationship with Chu Yihan.

Su Yingxue felt touched by Su Han’s consideration.

She made a mental note of this and, using the excuse of checking his pulse, probed Su Qingzhi’s thoughts.

In the medicine hut, Su Yingxue put away the pulse pillow and said to Su Qingzhi, “Grandfather’s health is fine. He has some old injuries from years of battles, but with daily acupuncture and tonic herbs, he will surely live a long life!”

“What’s the use of living so long? Life comes to an end eventually.” Su Qingzhi was a cheerful person.

In the past, he had wished for a longer life, with many ambitions left unfulfilled. He wanted to leave a legacy for generations to come.

However, Long Shuli had once said, “Even if the body lives long, if the heart is corrupted, it’s meaningless. It’s better to have a clean and transparent heart and face death with equanimity at a certain age.”

At that time, he was truly astonished. Long Shuli was in her prime, yet she had such profound insights into life and death.

But now, after all these years since her departure, he found her words increasingly reasonable. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

And now, he echoed the same sentiment to Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue’s admiration for him grew.. She teased Su Qingzhi, “Don’t you want to live longer and enjoy a few more years with your children and grandchildren?”
