C147 Confession

When Su Zixuan returned home, it was already near dusk. Her daily work had made it difficult for her to speak. However, since her brother was still learning, and her father wasn't relaxed, she could only do as much as she could.

When they entered the courtyard, before they even had time to drink a mouthful of water, they saw Ru Yi take a delicate box to the side.

"What is this?" Su Zixuan took a sip of tea to soothe the thirst in his mouth.

Ru Yi smiled and said, "This was specially sent over by His Highness the Prince Jin this afternoon."

Su Zixuan nodded, not minding at all as she reached out to take the box. However, she saw Ru Yi looking at her with a mischievous gaze. Just as she was about to ask what was wrong, her gaze couldn't help but fall upon the box in her hands.

"Tell me, how did he send it over?"

"It was this afternoon that the steward of the Prince's Mansion delivered several boxes of items into the warehouse. Only this one was a bit more exquisite, so the lord sent someone to deliver it to the courtyard." Ru Yi was clearly speaking in a serious tone, which made Su Zixuan feel as if she was making fun of him.

Su Zixuan's face turned red as she chased everyone out. She slowly calmed herself down and opened the box, only to see that inside the box was an exquisite mechanism. It looked like a Ruban Lock, but it was somewhat different from what she had seen.

"Is it new?" She used to play with these things when she had nothing else to do.

It was just that not only did this item look complicated, it was actually very complicated as well.

He fiddled with them until they became fruitless and then put them on the table dejectedly. Suddenly, he remembered that dinner was not going to be served anytime soon.

Just by looking at Ru Yi's mischievous appearance from before, Su Zixuan could imagine that Su Qian Shan would definitely not let her off so easily.

It was time to tell his father about what had happened last night.

Su Zixuan's guess was not wrong. After dinner in the evening and the servants had been dismissed, Su Qian Shan asked in front of her and Su Zaiyuan.

"What happened to you and Prince Jin?" Su Qian Shan narrowed his eyes. The image of Prince Jin claiming to have an engagement with his daughter appeared in his mind from time to time.

Add to that the fact that he had delivered such a huge gift to his doorstep, it was as if he had carried out that matter.

"Prince Jin saved me while I am in peril. I don't care about the so-called engagement, but what plans do you have for the future?"

Su Zixuan looked at her father and brother's fierce gazes, and a wave of nervousness rose up in her heart.

She lowered her eyes, not daring to raise her head. "Everyone knows now. I'm afraid that we won't be able to get along without each other."

Su Zixuan spoke in a reserved manner, but Su Qian Shan understood what was going on inside. It was nothing more than offending someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he could only rely on Prince Jin's power to recuperate.

"Did Prince Jin say anything to you?" Su Qian Shan looked at his always decisive daughter and didn't dare to raise his head. He found it funny that even though his daughter was usually calm, but when it came to marriage, she was still an inexperienced girl.

"He said, he said … "Then let's just settle it like this." Su Zixuan was a bit vague.

Su Qian Shan understood that under the current situation, the best way was to push the boat with the water.

However, as a parent, they would always hope that their daughter would have a good marriage, and not like this. It was because they had to do this due to the circumstances.

"I ask you, are you willing to do so yourself? If you are not, we can think of another way." When Su Qian Shan said this, he was really considering for Su Zixuan. So what if his family was rich, he still wanted to make things comfortable.

Su Zixuan didn't say anything. At first, Su Qian Shan thought that she didn't want to say anything. However, in order to protect the Su family, he couldn't say a word. Just as she wanted to say a few more words to stop her from worrying, she saw Su Zixuan's ears, which were bright red and glistening under the dim yellow light.

Was he shy? Su Qian Shan watched as Su Zixuan's hand grabbed her skirt a few times, but then he quietly let go of her hand as though he couldn't grab anything.

It looked shy, but he asked again just in case he guessed wrong.

"If you are unwilling, we can think of another way."

Su Zixuan was at a loss. Suddenly, his hands relaxed as he raised his head and looked at the two of them with a face that was completely red.

"Prince Jin is a magnanimous man, and he has done us a favor. If we marry him, our daughter will not be wronged."

Su Qian Shan couldn't hold back his laughter. How could this be feeling wronged? Looking at her blushing face, it was obvious that she wasn't shy in the least, it was more like her heart had been cut open.

That was true. He knew quite a bit about their interactions, let alone their private affairs.

Needless to say, he had seen King Jin's actions clearly. At the very least, the seriousness in his heart was worthy of entrusting to a good man.

Su Zhe Yuan was the only one who was still learning some scriptures. He did not understand the tacit understanding between the two of them and only thought that asking his sister to marry Prince Jin was not something she should shoulder in order to protect the Su family. However, he did not have the ability to tell his sister to be at ease.

Su Zhaoyuan seemed to have made some decision in his heart. The guilt and guilt in his eyes towards Su Zixuan was gradually replaced by determination.
