Chapter 269: Chapter 246: Reuniting with Family
Su Rende held onto Zhang Zhaodi’s hand tightly.
Seeing this, the people nearby quickly left, giving them space.
Zhou Wangshu saw Su Yaoguang peeping through the door gap to observe what was happening inside and scooped her up in a princess carry.
"Your parents are like newlyweds after a long separation, and you’re peeping?"
"You’re just muddled in the head. With his injuries, what sort of wedding?" Su Yaoguang hugged Zhou Wangshu’s neck and patted his chest. "Now that the truth is out, it turns out that General Su is indeed my father. Doesn’t this mean I’ve gained a Great General as a dad?"
"Yes! So, madam, you’ve elevated your status now, make sure not to abandon your poor husband!"
"That depends on your performance." Su Yaoguang touched his cheek and said.
"As your husband, I’ll definitely behave well." Zhou Wangshu said, as he took a turn and began carrying Su Yaoguang toward the bedroom.
Seeing this, Su Yaoguang stopped him: "You wish! After they finish catching up, they’ll definitely come to see us. Do you have no shame?"
Zhou Wangshu looked regretful.
"This is the first time you’ll meet your father-in-law, don’t you want to make a good impression?"
Zhou Wangshu pecked her lips: "You’re right, madam. Then I’ll just have to hold back a little."
Su Rende regained his memory, and when the Zhang Family Sisters learned that the National Guardian General is actually their brother-in-law, it felt like a dream.
"My sister has worked hard for so many years, staying alone in an empty house, single-handedly raising Yaoguang. Others wanted her to remarry, but she never did. Finally, her hardships have paid off. It seems my sister is truly blessed to have waited for our brother-in-law."
"If eldest sister had remarried back then, things might have turned out differently now," Zhang Pandi said.
"That’s because there wasn’t a suitable man for her before. If there had been, I would rather she had remarried early than suffer alone for years. Our sister didn’t remarry, and brother-in-law returned, making it quite a story."
Such a big event happened at the shop; today it is closed for business, and all the staff are given a day off.
The staff were not kept in the dark about what happened, and when they heard that the Boss’s wife had such a prominent husband, they felt it was more exciting than the best-selling storybooks in town.
Su Rende’s injuries were not severe. After Jiang Jing bandaged him up, somehow blood started seeping out again.
Jiang Jing bandaged him again. Zhang Zhaodi introduced him, saying Jiang Jing is her goddaughter.
Su Rende truly had no airs, no sense of detachment of a Great General at all, he listened attentively to whatever Zhang Zhaodi said.
"Yaoguang is our daughter, isn’t she?" Su Rende said, "The first time I saw her, I found this girl appealing, turns out it’s because she’s my blood. Heaven has been kind to me, allowing me to see my wife and daughter, so I’m not just an old lone man anymore."
"Have you met your son-in-law?" Zhang Zhaodi said, "Wangshu is the new Champion Scholar, you know that. He’s our Yaoguang’s purchased son-in-law. The children they have in the future will bear your name, ensuring continuity."
Su Rende stayed to recuperate.
He sent someone to the Ministry of War to apply for leave, and then he comfortably stayed at Taoyao Square as the patient.
During meals, everyone at Taoyao Square dined together. The staff were very curious about Su Rende, who let them sized him up, while he also observed Zhou Wangshu. Seeing Zhou Wangshu always sticking close to Su Yaoguang, he felt a bit jealous.
That’s his eldest daughter, only seen a few times since birth, not close to him, and now so quickly married off.
"Why didn’t you regain your memory earlier?" Su Rende grumbled, "If I had regained my memory earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have let them hold a banquet so soon."
"Even if there was no banquet, they’re still legitimately married. They had already registered at the government back then." Zhang Zhaodi gave Su Rende a piece of meat, "You better calm down, don’t give your son-in-law a hard time. That kid also hasn’t had it easy, he’s done a lot for us over these years."
Su Rende understood the implication, even if jealous of his son-in-law, he dare not touch Zhang Zhaodi’s named treasure.
After all, he’s the one with the least status in this family, having been absent all those years.
"Madam, my hand hurts, can’t lift it, feed me."
Everyone shuddered.
Heavens!
A burly man acting coy, what kind of scene is that?
While the Su Family was all joyful, the Wang Family was also in high spirits.
The newly appointed third place examinee, Xiao Yanci, willingly became a live-in son-in-law of the Wang Family. Now, with an official matchmaker invited, both sides are discussing the marriage.
Xiao Yanci had no family to rely on, so he made all decisions himself, and the Wang Family decided all matters about the wedding.
Xiao Yanci sat in a lower position, looking at the cold-faced Prime Minister Wang, inwardly swearing that one day all power would be his.
In his past life, he refused Prime Minister Wang’s offer, declined the Wang Family’s marriage proposal, and maintained his marriage with Su Yaoguang for a clean reputation. Then, Jiang Yihuan was his lover, secretly having a child with him.
Now, having lived again, he actively courted Wang Ruyan, securing this marriage. But this time, he’s only the third place examinee, not the illustrious Champion Scholar like before, and Prime Minister Wang isn’t as eager towards him.
There’s another reason, in the previous life, he was courted by Prime Minister Wang, but in this life, it’s his daughter who courted him. Though both being courted, in Prime Minister Wang’s eyes, it’s completely different, as what’s personally sought is always best.
"Xiao Tanhua, do you have any opinions?" Prime Minister Wang asked.
Xiao Yanci said, "I will follow the Prime Minister’s lead."
"Where are you staying during this period?"
"Returning to the Prime Minister, the student will first stay at a temple for this period."
"You’re getting married, without a residence how will that work? Across from the National Guardian General’s place, there’s a mansion, not too big but enough for newlyweds to live in. That’ll be your marital home. That way, you’ll have time to interact more with the General across the way, adding some clout in court."
"Thank you for the advice, Prime Minister. The student will follow the Prime Minister’s directions."
"In a moment, I’ll have my men take you over there. You should tidy it up during this period. Although it’s our family’s mansion, it hasn’t been inhabited for a long time, needing some cleaning. I hope you’ll personally take care of it, as it’s where you’ll live, you should be attentive, right?"
In his eyes, Xiao Yanci flashed a cold gleam.
Prime Minister Wang deliberately gave him a low blow, threatening him, showing that to get what he wants, he must comply.
"The Prime Minister is right, the student will clean up, and plant the camellias Ruyan likes."
"Being able to know Ruyan’s preferences in such a short time shows genuine intent. You’re very smart, I hope your cleverness will be useful," Prime Minister Wang said, picking up a teacup, signaling the end of the meeting.
