Chapter 1433: Chapter 1427

"That’s not right. Since when does Tu Suxuan have a younger sister? In this generation of Tu Su’s House, there are only three daughters, and they’re all married off already, and their looks are just so‑so at best. With Tu Suxuan’s face, how could he have a sister pretty enough for you to find worth teasing?"

Zhu Zhiyao came back to his senses.

"Maybe she’s an illegitimate daughter. I saw Tu Suxuan being very close with her."

Liu Chengtian muttered.

"The other party should be a master of medicine. Looks like Tu Su’s House has invited a powerful helper. Young Master Liu, whoever tied the bell must untie it."

Sikong Ran said thoughtfully.

The other party’s Sealing Acupoints technique was unheard of, and on top of that, that strand of True Qi in Liu Chengtian’s body was also quite unusual.

Sikong Ran had never seen such a special kind of True Qi before; he simply couldn’t break it.

"Since she’s from Tu Su’s House, then we should go reason with them. What’s wrong with a few teasing words? It’s not like a piece of flesh got bitten off. We’ll go to Tu Su Mansion and demand they hand her over."

Zhu Zhiyao glanced at Liu Chengtian’s hand, worried.

Zhu Zhiyao cupped his hands to Sikong Ran and Bai You.

"Young Master Sikong, Miss Bai, I must ask the two of you to be understanding. We’ll be right back. Please wait here a moment; we’ll go to Tu Su’s House, take the person, and come straight back."

"If Mr. Zhu and Young Master Liu don’t mind, I’m willing to go along and lend a hand."

To their surprise, Sikong Ran stood up, cupped his hands, and indicated he was willing to go with them.

Bai You was a bit surprised.

Senior Brother actually wanted to go with them?

Sikong Ran was not the warm‑hearted type.

"It’s all the better if Young Master Sikong is willing to come. Tu Su’s House does have some strength. The Fourth Prince is occupied today and can’t go. With you there, we’ll feel more confident."

Zhu Zhiyao thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Bai You, upon hearing this, also said she was willing to go along.

Leaving everything else aside, just now Liu Chengtian had praised that young lady from Tu Su’s House for her beauty.

Beaten up like this, and he still remembered to praise her looks—clearly that girl really must be as beautiful as a fairy.

Bai You actually felt a competitive itch; she wanted to see for herself exactly how beautiful that girl was.

The group left Lanshan Inn and headed toward Tu Su’s House.

At this time, Xin Lin and Tu Suxuan had already arrived at Tu Su Mansion.

When introducing Xin Lin, Tu Suxuan said she was Crown Prince Yuan’s and his sworn younger sister.

The Old Family Master of Tu Su’s House had kind eyes and kind features. Seeing that Xin Lin was beautiful, and that his own grandson took special care of her, and on top of that Xin Lin had helped break the siege of Yunshui City, he was extremely fond of her.

"Miss Xin, we really have you to thank for the matter in Yunshui City. You’ve done Tu Su’s House a great service. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word."

Old Master Tusu smiled, his gaze on Xin Lin full of kindly warmth.

"Old Family Master, you’re too polite. My big brother’s business is my business."

Xin Lin replied sweetly.

"Miss Xin, how old are you this year, from which country, how are your parents at home, and are you married yet?"

The Old Family Master asked enthusiastically.

Hearing this, Xin Lin felt that something was a bit off in his words.

Since when do elders’ greetings extend to asking whether someone is married or not?

Xin Lin was puzzled.

Off to the side, Tu Suxuan coughed heavily twice.

"Xin Lin, I have something to discuss with my grandfather. Go wait for me outside for a bit."

Xin Lin nodded and stepped out.

The door hadn’t even had time to close before she heard inside, Tu Suxuan stomping his foot and saying,

"Grandfather, what kind of questions are you asking? Xin Lin is my third younger sister. Don’t you start having any crooked ideas about arranging a betrothal for me again."

"What’s wrong with an engagement? You’re not actually blood siblings. Besides, Miss Xin looks so good, what a handsome face. The men of Tu Su’s House look too rugged; we need to find a..."

The Tu Su Family Head muttered.
