Chapter 122: Concubine Yu Shu confesses her love

Years of repeated contact had gradually fostered feelings for Xu Qingzhou within Yu Shufei, but she had always kept them buried deep in her heart. The conversation she just had with her Father directly unearthed these feelings.

Yu Tianzhuo hesitated, his expression still complex.

The Wanbao Pavilion's intelligence network was very well-informed. Yu Tianzhuo basically knew about any slightly significant event, so he had some understanding of Xu Qingzhou.

Although his Family's strength was a bit lacking, his talent was not bad. With accumulated experience, his strength had improved quickly.

Furthermore, he was indeed very capable and had developed the Family well, especially the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, which had great potential. It was just that the Xu Family's insufficient strength prevented them from opening more branches.

His recent planning and scheming against the Tai Xu Sect and Danqi Sect further demonstrated his extraordinary courage and strategy.

Frankly speaking, Yu Tianzhuo felt that Xu Qingzhou was suitable to be his son-in-law.

And given his situation, he truly wasn't afraid of the Ninth Prince, making him a very suitable candidate for a son-in-law. Most importantly, his daughter genuinely liked him.

However, the other party already had someone in his heart, and he had even heard that they were already discussing marriage, which made things very difficult.

Yu Tianzhuo pondered for a moment.

"How about this, you invite him over and directly ask him his thoughts. If he is willing, I will personally go talk to Su Xin."

"If we reach an agreement, it will naturally be a happy ending for everyone. If not, I, your Father, will directly take you and leave the Great Qi Dynasty!"

After all, Su Xin was Xu Qingzhou's future Father-in-law and was very powerful. If they didn't negotiate properly, conflicts and disagreements would inevitably arise.

"Okay."

Yu Shufei also wanted to know what Xu Qingzhou thought of her. If it was just unrequited love, then so be it; she would just have to leave the Great Qi Dynasty with her Father.

Less than half an hour later, Xu Qingzhou arrived at the Wanbao Pavilion. Seeing Yu Shufei's unusual expression, he asked,

"What's wrong, Manager Yu? Are you troubled?"

After sitting down, Xu Qingzhou casually picked up a teacup and began to drink.

Yu Shufei looked at him, bit her red lips, and clasped her hands together, stammering, "I want to know… do you… like me?"

"Pfft…."

Xu Qingzhou was startled and directly spat out the spiritual tea he hadn't swallowed yet.

"You… what do you mean by that?"

He was a little confused. Calling him over and then just saying something so out of the blue would confuse anyone.

Yu Shufei leaned forward slightly and pressed, "Just tell me if you like me or not."

Looking at her intense gaze, Xu Qingzhou instantly understood her feelings and nodded.

"Yes."

Since a girl dared to express her love so boldly, what reason did he have to be shy?

He had cultivated diligently for so many years; couldn't he just enjoy having two beautiful women by his side!

A radiant smile instantly bloomed on Yu Shufei's exquisite face. She could no longer control her expression and beamed with joy.

"Then marry me. I'll marry you along with Sister Su."

Last time she called her Immortal Su, and now, before even entering the Family, she had already changed to calling her Sister Su.

"That fast?" Xu Qingzhou was a little bewildered.

Confession one second, marriage the next. It felt like being rushed into something, which made him a bit uncomfortable.

Having understood Xu Qingzhou's feelings, Yu Shufei no longer needed to hide anything and directly told him about the Ninth Prince's forced marriage.

Xu Qingzhou suddenly understood, and at the same time, he looked at Yu Shufei with some suspicion.

"You're not just trying to use me as a shield, are you?"

Everything was fine before, but she thought of confessing only after being forced into marriage. It was hard not to be suspicious.

Back then, the Ninth Prince arranged for the Chief of Kuangfeng Stronghold to destroy the Xu Family. If Su Xinyan hadn't been there, the Xu Family would have been gone.

Xu Qingzhou naturally wanted to ruin his plans, but he also didn't want to be used as a shield.

Seeing that he had misunderstood her, Yu Shufei panicked a little and quickly explained.

"I genuinely have feelings for you, and coupled with encountering such a situation, I thought I would either marry you or directly leave the Great Qi Dynasty. There are no other options."

Having known her for so long, this was the first time Xu Qingzhou had seen her look flustered, which indicated that she was indeed worried about Xu Qingzhou misunderstanding her.

"I understand your feelings, I was just saying that," Xu Qingzhou stepped forward and directly took her small hand. Yu Shufei's fair, pretty face instantly turned red, and she kept trying to pull away.

"You were so bold when you confessed just now, why are you shy now?"

Just then, a loud cough came from a hidden corner nearby.

"Cough, cough."

Xu Qingzhou was startled, pulled Yu Shufei behind him, and demanded, "Who's there?"

Someone was nearby, and he hadn't even noticed, which meant this person was definitely stronger than him.

This action of his made Yu Tianzhuo very satisfied.

Yu Shufei introduced, "This is my Father."

"Uh…."

Xu Qingzhou was slightly taken aback and felt a bit awkward. Thinking about it carefully, this was the fifth floor of the Wanbao Pavilion after all, how could an outsider break in?

No wonder Yu Shufei was so embarrassed just now; it turned out her second Father-in-law was watching from the side.

Xu Qingzhou, once again thick-skinned, bowed and saluted.

"Father-in-law, please accept my bow."

Perhaps because he had done it once before, he was more skilled and natural this time.

Yu Tianzhuo and Yu Shufei were both stunned. Good, good, good! This kid, putting everything else aside, is truly thick-skinned and incredibly bold!!

No wonder he could achieve great things!

Yu Tianzhuo asked with a wry smile, "Was it like this the first time you met Su Xin too?"

"Yes," Xu Qingzhou replied.

Yu Tianzhuo was speechless again. I just said that casually, I didn't expect it to be true. You're really something, kid!!

Looking at it now, Su Xin, with his fiery temper and doting on his daughter, didn't directly attack you at that time. Who knows how many teeth he gnashed to hold himself back.

Xu Qingzhou said, "To be honest with you, Father-in-law has already met my parents and set the wedding date. We're getting ready to send out invitations soon."

If they had been a few days later, the invitations would have already been sent out. At that point, even if Yu Shufei wanted to use marrying Xu Qingzhou to refuse the Ninth Prince, it wouldn't have worked, as Xu Qingzhou's marriage partner would have already been decided.

Yu Tianzhuo's brows furrowed slightly. This news was both a little happy and a little worrying.

The happy part was that it was just in time, and Yu Shufei could marry along with her, so they wouldn't have to worry about the Ninth Prince.

The worrying part was that it was just in time. When someone was preparing for marriage, his daughter suddenly wanted to jump in, making it quite difficult to persuade them.

"I'll go talk to Su Xin right now," Yu Tianzhuo said.

He had made up his mind. For his daughter's happiness, even if he had to sacrifice his old face, serve tea, and say nice things, he would persuade Su Xin.

Xu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief. If Yu Tianzhuo went to talk, it would be perfect. If he went himself, he couldn't guarantee that Su Xin could still restrain himself from attacking this time.

Yu Shufei said, "I'll go see Sister Su too."

After all, she was indeed in the wrong regarding this matter.

If the Ninth Prince hadn't suddenly forced the marriage, she wouldn't have done this. She felt that she might have naturally progressed with Xu Qingzhou sometime in the future, and at that time, Su Xin and his daughter would likely be more accepting.

So, the father and daughter set off like this.

Yu Tianzhuo went to see Su Xin.

Yu Shufei went to see Su Xinyan.

Xu Qingzhou even wanted to find a place to hide and wait until they had finished talking before returning.
