723 What a Coincidence
Madam Lian was also relieved. The couple fell asleep quietly.
At this moment, Su Hua had just returned to his room.
Sun Baoqian was waiting for him. Seeing Su Hua return, Sun Baoqian went up to him. “Hubby.”
“Yeah.”
Su Hua looked at Sun Baoqian and his voice deepened. Sun Baoqian rarely called her hubby and mostly called him Master. Only when she was extremely aroused in bed did she say the word ‘hubby’.
“It’s getting late. Let’s rest too.”
Su Hua held Sun Baoqian’s hand and walked towards the bedroom.
Sun Baoqian had already reacted and blushed.
However, she couldn’t help but want to call Su Hua hubby just now. Now that she reacted, her face turned red. She didn’t have time to ask anything.
Su Hua had always been very restrained and was an extremely gentle person.
However, Sun Baoqian calling him ‘hubby’ could always make him lose control and he would make her cry before it ended.
Sun Baoqian wanted to ask Su Hua a few questions, but after this matter, she was satisfied and sleepy. She fell asleep without asking anything.
The next day, after breakfast, the couple got into the carriage to go home. Sun Baoqian’s face was still red.
Last night, after they left, the servants tidied up the house. It was inevitable that they would be able to tell. Her mother would definitely know. Just thinking about it made her face burn.
Sun Baoqian was slightly surprised when she inadvertently met Su Hua’s eyes.
Su Hua’s gaze was clearly like a wolf’s. Seeing that she was shy, the corners of his lips curled up into a smirk. Before Sun Baoqian could say a word, Su Hua pulled her into his arms, grabbed her waist, and sealed her lips.
He kissed her for a while before letting go. Sun Baoqian’s face turned even redder. The carriage traveled the streets, but who knew that the couple in the carriage would be so inseparable?
After Su Hua let go of Sun Baoqian, he took the initiative to say, “Father-in-law only asked me a few questions last night. He asked me how much I knew about the Chu family.”
“I asked Father-in-law to relax. There’s an 80% chance that Baoshan will succeed. The Chu family is different from ordinary families. General Chu only has a son and a daughter. He asked Chu Jin and Chu Li for their wishes for the engagement. Even before Chu Jin got engaged, he secretly checked with the woman’s side. He only got engaged because he was willing.”
“The Chu family has also checked families regarding his sister Chu Li’s marriage. Chu Li doesn’t have anyone she likes and they respect her wishes, so this matter hasn’t been settled. If Baoshan and Chu Li are in love and the Sun family is sincere, the Chu family can see and feel it. They should agree. However, Baoshan has known Chu Li for three years and is still hiding it. General Chu inevitably has to make things difficult for him. He has to see if Baoshan can withstand the test and if he’s determined to marry her.”
Su Hua told Sun Baoqian what he had said to Sun Ziqian last night to reassure her.
As long as Sun Baoshan could withstand the test, he would definitely get what he wanted.
The Chu family valued relationships. Chu Leizhen and Madam Wen didn’t value power and wealth so much, but they cared a lot about relationships.
Back then, when his brother married Lin Yaoyao, Teacher Lin had also entrusted Chu Leizhen to help.
It was good to have power and wealth, but one’s character and loyalty were indispensable.
“Yeah.”
Sun Baoqian nodded. She looked at Su Hua with a red face and thanked him softly. “Thank you, Master.”
Su Hua’s eyes darkened and he smiled. “Master?”
Sun Baoqian looked at the smile in his eyes and immediately pursed her lips and lowered her eyes shyly. His feelings were too obvious. She was shy and happy. She wanted to look, but she did not dare to.
When they returned home, the heat on Sun Baoqian’s face did not subside. Her face was red.
After getting out of the carriage, the winter wind blew, and her pale skin was especially beautiful with a hint of red.
Sun Baoqian went to look for Madam Zhao. Although Madam Zhao did not ask or restrain her, she was willing to tell Madam Zhao why she did not return last night and was willing to share family matters with Madam Zhao.
Su Hua also went to look for Su Chong.
During the new year, Madam Zhao was mostly in the kitchen.
When Sun Baoqian arrived, Lin Yaoyao was feeding Su Shiyu soup and Su Xiaolu was eating.
Madam Zhao and Madam Qian chatted and laughed as they cooked.
When Sun Baoqian arrived, Madam Zhao was smiling and saying, “If this works, it will be a good fate for Shou.”
When Sun Baoqian heard this, she asked curiously, “Mother-in-law, what is it?”
Madam Zhao said happily, “You’re back. Shou came over today and told us something. He followed the eldest son of the Chu family and obtained their favor. General Chu and his wife are interested in betrothing their daughter to him. They hope that he can stay in the capital. It’s time for Shou to get married. He also has a good impression of Miss Chu. If Miss Chu agrees, this matter will be settled.”
Sun Baoqian’s heart skipped a beat. She knew about Hu Changshou and his presence in the Chu family.
But what a coincidence.
Sun Baoqian was in a dilemma. There was only one Chu Li. No matter what, someone was going to fail.
Madam Zhao realized that Sun Baoqian’s expression was a little strange. She asked worriedly, “Baoqian, what’s wrong?”
Seeing that everyone was looking at her with concern, Sun Baoqian sighed. “Mother-in-law, my hubby and I didn’t come back last night because of the Chu family.”
Sun Baoqian did not want to hide it and explained the matter in detail.
Madam Zhao and Madam Qian put down their work.
Su Xiaolu remained silent. It was neither simple nor complicated.
“I thought it was a difficult thing.”
Madam Zhao smiled indifferently and continued, “The Chu family’s daughter hasn’t been engaged yet. There are hundreds of pursuers for girls. It’s fate to choose which family she wants. Everyone understands this principle.”
“Don’t worry, Shou and Baoshan aren’t unreasonable children. Shou also said that this matter depends on Miss Chu’s feelings.”
Madam Zhao said this because she hoped that Sun Baoqian would not be worried because of this. Even if Chu Li rejected Hu Changshou, it would not affect the relationship between relatives.
Hu Changshou was not the kind of person who could not understand. He said he had an ordinary family background. Miss Chu was outstanding in everything, and the Chu family couple were also very easy-going people. He had no right to reject such a good girl. It was a blessing to marry her.
However, if they were not fated, he would not force it.
When Sun Baoqian heard Madam Zhao’s words, she was immediately relieved.
Madam Zhao asked again, “When is Baoshan going to propose marriage?”
Sun Baoqian shook her head. “I don’t know yet. My brother has made up his mind. It shouldn’t be long.”
“I believe Hua and the others have also made things clear. This is also a coincidence.”
Madam Zhao smiled and sighed.
Sun Baoqian pondered. She wondered what was going on on Su Hua’s side and what would happen if Hu Changshou found out.
Su Xiaolu stood up silently and went out. She also wanted to know, so she decided to eavesdrop!
She felt that she was really fated to eavesdrop. Ever since she was young, she had eavesdropped many times.
Su Xiaolu came to Su Chong’s small courtyard and quietly landed on the eaves. She listened carefully and heard Su Hua’s surprised voice coming from inside the house. “What a coincidence. Brother Shou, I’m afraid you’re not fated with Miss Chu.”
Hu Changshou was puzzled. “Second Brother, why do you say that? Could it be that Miss Chu already has someone she likes?”
“That’s right,” Su Hua replied.
