Innocence? The dream of tens of thousands of girls in Great Xia

The entire Su Manor was on high alert, the atmosphere incredibly tense.

Several clan elders appeared and respectfully invited Jiang Lan in, serving him clear tea without daring to be negligent.

Su Qinghan had just woken from her morning training when she learned from a maid that the Prime Minister's son had stormed into the Su Manor early that morning with a large contingent of guards, and no one dared to stop him.

Even the clan elders with the deepest cultivation had appeared, personally attending to him, and then they had urgently sent someone to call for her.

"Hmm?"

"Young Master Jiang is here?"

Su Qinghan was actually a bit surprised that Jiang Lan would come to the Su Manor. After tidying herself up simply, without any makeup, she immediately rose to meet him.

"Miss Qinghan, why did you leave without saying goodbye that day?"

In the reception hall, Jiang Lan sat there leisurely, dressed in white, handsome and refined, with an elegant demeanor and a smile.

I haven't even finished shearing the wool, and this Su Qinghan wants to run?

Many members of the Su clan respectfully withdrew, leaving only Su Qinghan and Jiang Lan, along with a few elders who were worried about any unexpected incidents.

"I beg for your forgiveness, Young Master Jiang. Seeing that you had already woken up safely that day, Qinghan thought the clan might worry, so I took my leave first." Su Qinghan explained.

Jiang Lan smiled, casually put down his teacup, and said, "I thought you left so quickly because you were afraid I'd eat you."

Su Qinghan seemed to recall something, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly. "I believe in Young Master Jiang's character. You are not that kind of person."

Jiang Lan smiled noncommittally, tossed his hand, and a Sumire Ring, shimmering with a faint glow, suddenly appeared before Su Qinghan.

"This is?"

Su Qinghan was slightly surprised.

"Take a look?" Jiang Lan smiled.

Su Qinghan's divine sense probed into it. Her flawless jade-like face first showed confusion, then gradually turned to surprise, shock, and then the expression on her face slowly disappeared, as if she had fallen into deep thought.

Jiang Lan leisurely drank his tea, not surprised by Su Qinghan's reaction.

The clan elders beside them were also shocked and moved, but they dared not overstep or speak too much, only looking at the Sumire Ring, their minds filled with speculation.

Storming into the Su Manor early in the morning and throwing out such a Sumire Ring, it looked like he was trying to dismiss her after the fact.

Coupled with the rumors circulating in Yuyi City these past few days.

The clan elders could only sigh inwardly, filled with melancholy and helplessness.

The Su clan had finally produced a phoenix, only to be ruined by Great Xia's number one Second Generation Scion, and then he comes with a Sumire Ring afterward, trying to send her away.

"What does Young Master Jiang mean by this?" Su Qinghan asked, confused.

"I do not wish to be indebted for Miss Qinghan's care these past few days," Jiang Lan said with a faint smile.

As the Prime Minister's son, he lacked nothing, least of all money. No, he lacked nothing at all, and naturally, money was no exception.

Su Qinghan shook her head and pushed the Sumire Ring back. "It's too precious. Qinghan cannot accept it."

Jiang Lan still smiled. "Miss Qinghan, don't be so quick to refuse. I have also heard the rumors in Yuyi City concerning Miss Qinghan's pure reputation. How could I turn a blind eye?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand gently, and three more Sumire Rings appeared before Su Qinghan.

Purity?

Weren't things pure and clear between them?

A trace of suspicion flickered in Su Qinghan's eyes. Having gotten to know Jiang Lan, she naturally couldn't believe he was interested in her.

But why was he still saying this? Was he still trying to ruin his own reputation?

"I have already explained the situation to my father and will take responsibility for Miss Qinghan."

"These items are also a token of my sincerity. After marrying Miss Qinghan into my home, I will absolutely treat her well. You can rest assured about this..."

Jiang Lan gently blew on the hot tea in his cup, his expression unusually serious.

Although part of this was due to a mischievous impulse, it was more about making Su Qinghan genuinely devoted to him in the future. After all, there was no better sheep to fleece than her.

Su Qinghan froze, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.

Seeing Jiang Lan's serious demeanor, her heart filled with absurdity. He couldn't possibly be serious, could he?

Although through her interactions and understanding of Jiang Lan these past few days, she no longer had the negative feelings she once had towards him, she didn't have much deep affection either. She was merely a little curious and admiring...

The elders of the Su clan were even more stunned on the spot, wondering if they had misheard.

If not for Jiang Lan's unusually serious expression at the moment, they would have suspected he was joking with the Su clan.

"Young Master Jiang, are you serious?" Su Qinghan collected her thoughts, calmed herself, and looked at Jiang Lan with her bright eyes.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly. "I will give Miss Qinghan three days to consider. If you are worried about whether I will treat you well in the future, I can even make an oath first..."

Su Qinghan was silent for a moment before saying with a complex expression, "Since Young Master Jiang has said so, Qinghan will consider it later."

Although she didn't understand why Jiang Lan was so insistent on marrying her for the time being, based on her understanding of Jiang Lan these past few days, he must have some ulterior motive and reason.

Is he after my beauty and body?

She shook her head inwardly. She had dismissed this possibility immediately. With his severe cleanliness obsession, he would be eager to distance himself from her.

Is he still trying to ruin his own reputation?

Jiang Lan didn't stay long. After giving Su Qinghan three days to consider, he left with his guards.

From his understanding of Su Qinghan, she wouldn't refuse, nor was there any reason for her to.

"She's clearly tempted, yet she still puts on a hesitant and cautious front..." Sensing the surge of Fortune, Jiang Lan felt like laughing.

Women, always saying the opposite of what they mean.

In terms of identity and background, he was the foremost noble of Great Xia, unmatched. In terms of character and disposition, he concealed his flaws and was pure as ice and jade. In terms of appearance, he had an ethereal grace and an outstanding, elegant demeanor...

If one were to disregard his past character and actions, he could indeed be considered the dream of countless young girls in Great Xia.

No matter how special Su Qinghan was, she was still a woman.

After Jiang Lan left Su Manor, a large number of clansmen rushed into the reception hall. They had all been eavesdropping outside. Su Changkong's expression was particularly grim, suppressing a hidden anger.

"Qinghan, you don't have to..."

He was about to advise his daughter not to be angry, but the words caught in his throat. Su Qinghan was far calmer than he had anticipated, not even a trace of anger on her face.

"He said three days to consider, but it's really just three days of grace. If she can't give a satisfactory explanation after three days..." He was full of worry.

"Hiss..."

As he spoke, a series of gasps erupted from the side.
