Chapter 75: Chapter 75

Prime Minister Bai’s expression froze for a moment upon hearing this.

You surely seem to have a clear heart!

But you shouldn’t be so arrogant and high-profile .

What will the Emperor think once he knows?

You managed to get something that even he couldn’t, isn’t this a slap in the Emperor’s face?

But looking at Feng Qiwu’s calm and composed demeanor, he knows that his reminder won’t have any effect.

Anyway, this father and son of the Heavenly Family are merely maintaining surface harmony now, and conflict could explode any day. It’s better if he says less nonsense.

Just hope that Susu won’t get caught in the middle of their conflicts.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Bai couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Just then, the steward came over respectfully and said, "Master, Crown Prince, Miss is out."

Upon hearing this, before Prime Minister Bai could speak, Feng Qiwu already stood up from the chair, "Where is she? I will go and greet her!"

Prime Minister Bai: ???

What kind of spell has the Crown Prince fallen under today?

In his lifetime, beside greeting the Emperor, hasn’t he never greeted anyone else?

For just a few steps, he actually wants to personally go and greet Susu?

Even if it’s acting, there’s no need to go to such lengths.

But Prime Minister Bai quickly reacted, saying, "Crown Prince, you should wait here; how can you personally go and greet Susu?"

"Susu is already my fiancée; isn’t it appropriate for me to greet her? Lead the way!" Feng Qiwu coldly looked at the steward.

The steward had to brace himself and lead Feng Qiwu out of the front hall.

Hardly a minute passed when they saw Bai Susu and Chuntao and Nuanxia appearing on the bluestone slabs outside the Bai Mansion’s front hall.

Beside the small path, a osmanthus tree was blooming richly, with its faint fragrance wafting in the air.

Today, Bai Susu abandoned those dull-colored clothes from the original owner’s chest and wore a light yellow thin garment, with a carefully woven matching flower crown crafted by Chuntao and Nuanxia, styled in the manner of the osmanthus deity from the Twelve Flower Gods.

The delicate light yellow made her fair skin appear even brighter and captivating.

And this was also the first time Feng Qiwu saw Bai Susu dressed up gorgeously these days.

Because every time he went over late at night, Bai Susu had already removed her hair ornaments and complicated outer clothes, looking simply elegant.

Occasionally spotting her in daylight, Bai Susu happened to disguise her appearance with mature and aging attire.

So seeing Bai Susu’s current look, even though Feng Qiwu had long known of her breathtaking beauty, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

At the same time, he was increasingly certain that it was exceedingly worth the enormous price he paid for acquiring those decorations.

For Susu deserves to adorn herself with the most beautiful and best things in the world.

At this moment, Bai Susu also saw Feng Qiwu in a bright red robe.

Looking at his tall figure walking towards her against the sunlight, Bai Susu’s heart couldn’t help but race.

No matter how many times she saw him, she would shallowly be moved by his beauty.

With such looks, doesn’t he deserve to be the male lead?

Compared to him, Feng Wuchen’s face was simply like insipid cold water, wasn’t it?

"Shu Kuang!" Bai Susu lifted her skirt hem, running quickly towards Feng Qiwu with a radiant smile.

Seeing this, Feng Qiwu promptly strode towards her,

and in front of Prime Minister Bai, he grasped Bai Susu’s hands.

"Why are your hands still so cold?" Feng Qiwu frowned.

"It’s fine, I didn’t feel cold." Bai Susu replied with a smile.

Beside them, Prime Minister Bai watched the two seeming familiar gestures, frowning involuntarily.

"Cough cough!" Prime Minister Bai gave two heavy coughs, glaring at Feng Qiwu.

This time, Feng Qiwu did not release Bai Susu’s hand but looked directly at Prime Minister Bai and said, "Grandfather, are you unwell, caught a cold? How about I summon the Imperial Physician to have a look at you?"

Prime Minister Bai was directly shocked by Feng Qiwu’s use of "Grandfather," his fake cough turning real.

His old face turned red from the coughing.

The steward, seeing this, quickly stepped forward to pat his back.

"Prime Minister, are you alright?"

With a nervous expression, Bai Susu looked at him, "Grandfather, what’s wrong? Don’t really catch a cold."

Hearing this, Prime Minister Bai gave Feng Qiwu a fierce glare, "I’m fine, Crown Prince, this old minister cannot afford the title ’Grandfather’ from you!"

What nonsense are you calling!

Hearing Prime Minister Bai’s words, Bai Susu immediately understood why he had choked earlier.

For a moment, she was somewhat speechless.

But Feng Qiwu, unfazed, said, "You are Susu’s grandfather, then you’ll be mine in the future, what’s there you can’t afford?"

Prime Minister Bai: ...

Shut up, you, this old man still wants to live a few more years.

"Don’t think you can drag Susu along , let her go! So what if you’re engaged? You haven’t married yet!" Prime Minister Bai said fiercely.

The crux is, if this spreads to the Emperor’s ears and he thinks the Crown Prince genuinely cares for Susu, what if he further exploits Susu?

Truly the Imperial Family is full of cunning members, all incredibly shrewd.

Especially him, Feng Qiwu!

To drag the Bai Mansion into the water, soliciting marriage deliberately wasn’t enough; now, he’s gone to this extent!

Really think Bai Qianshan is so easy to deceive?

This old man’s eyes are sharp!

Listening to Prime Minister Bai, Feng Qiwu indifferently said, "Grandfather, do you think besides me, Susu could marry someone else? If there hadn’t been an engagement, that’d be one thing, but now the betrothal gift has been sent, the marriage details agreed, Susu is mine. Even if you are her grandfather, you can’t stop me from holding her hand."

After saying this, his demeanor softened as he spoke tenderly to Bai Susu, "The wind is rising outside, let’s go indoors."

Bai Susu watched Prime Minister Bai blow his beard out and roll his eyes, helplessly whispering, "Crown Prince, please give grandfather some face."

Even if it’s not the ancient times, even in modern times, holding hands in front of the fiancée’s elder seems quite indiscreet.

Seeing her plea in her eyes, Feng Qiwu reluctantly agreed, "Had I known, I might as well have got married directly today."

Now, there’s still a month and a half to wait before the wedding!

Then, unwillingly, he released Bai Susu’s hand.

He could ignore Prime Minister Bai’s feelings but could not overlook Susu’s.

Since she felt troubled, he wouldn’t force it. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Seeing this, Bai Susu gently brushed his palm while separating, "Thank you, Crown Prince, for your consideration."

Then whispered, "I will compensate you tonight."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu immediately took back his anger.

His eyes brightened as he looked at Bai Susu’s lovely and charming appearance, lightly coughing before saying to a restrained Prime Minister Bai, "Should Grandfather be satisfied with this? The list of ceremony items will take a while to complete, shall we go inside and see what kind of betrothal gift I prepared for you?"

Bai Susu maintained a modest expression and nodded.
