Chapter 1365: Chapter 1 Our Boy Has Grown Up (1)

Su Ke remembered that ever since he had memory, his Fourth Elder Sister had been the one to raise him.

Back then, his Fourth Elder Sister was large in stature and strong, doing most of the work and eating the most. Yet, she always liked to laugh foolishly, even when people wrongfully accused her. She never knew how to argue in her own defense, which earned her much criticism for being a Fool.

But Su Ke knew that his Fourth Elder Sister wasn’t foolish!

She was just too honest, honest to a point where people couldn’t help but want to bully her!

And that was what angered him the most, what he detested the most! It was also the reason he had silently vowed in his heart that once he grew up, he would study hard, become an official like his grand-uncle, and protect his Fourth Elder Sister. He wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her!

At that time, he wholeheartedly believed that being a deputy county magistrate of the eighth rank was the biggest position in the world!

Not until he grew older and understood more about the world did he realize just how many official ranks there were above the small eighth rank position. He also understood how laughable his original thoughts were!

Yet, his desire to protect his Fourth Elder Sister only grew stronger!

But after he was pushed down the riverbank and broke his leg, his world collapsed!

He was heartbroken!

He wasn’t heartbroken because his leg was crippled and he would become lame; nor was he heartbroken because his grandfather had borrowed all his money, and his grand-uncle just watched without offering a helping hand. It was because his Fourth Elder Sister, whom he had vowed to protect once he grew up, was unexpectedly about to marry!

Marry?

As a child who had grown up freely in the countryside, Su Ke had long understood what it meant for a woman to marry.

But the villagers all said that his Fourth Elder Sister was a Fool and would surely never be married off. He had also prepared himself to support his Fourth Elder Sister for a lifetime. However, all of a sudden, his Fourth Elder Sister was about to get married, and to the man whom his Second Elder Sister didn’t want—the man who had Tuberculosis and was close to death!

Struggling to get out of bed, he leaned on his crutches and ran into his Fourth Elder Sister’s Boudoir, pushing open the door with a bang, and bellowed urgently.

"Fourth Sister, Fourth Elder Sister! Don’t marry him, he’s a Tuberculosis Ghost, you mustn’t marry him. Wait for me, wait until Ke’er grows up, I will earn money to support you!"

His words carried a sobbing tone, startling the plump figure by the window.

That figure reacted slowly, taking several moments before turning her head to look at him, showing off the pot of Man Tuo Fragrant Flower on the windowsill she was fiddling with. The rich fragrance rushed straight into Su Ke’s nose, making him sneeze twice in a row.

"Ke’er, be good, don’t be scared!"

At this moment, all the fat on Su Pan’er’s face was piled up, making her smile look even more naive and silly.

She stepped forward to embrace Su Ke, patting his head gently, "Don’t worry, Fourth Sister will be back in two months!"

"Fourth Sister, you’re lying to Ke’er again! Woo woo woo..."

Su Ke forcefully pushed away her plump hands, struggling to get away from her embrace, "Ke’er isn’t a child anymore, Fourth Sister you’re lying to Ke’er again..."

After a woman gets married, she becomes part of another family! How could she possibly return in two months? Thinking of this, Ke’er cried even harder!

Su Pan’er hugged Ke’er in her arms, opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain, but ultimately said nothing.

Their deal was a secret, and her grand-uncle said that she couldn’t tell anyone!

She couldn’t tell Ke’er that she had agreed to marry instead of her Second Elder Sister because the Qin Family’s third son was dying, and the Qin Family had also promised her if she agreed to the wedding to save him from bad luck, should there be any unforeseen mishap in the future... any "Three long and two short," the Qin Family agreed to let her return to the Su Family.

In this way, not only could she continue to stay with her parents and Ke’er, but she could also get help from her grand-uncle to cure Ke’er’s leg. If Ke’er’s leg could be healed, everything she did would be worth it!

"Fourth Sister, please agree to Ke’er! Fourth Sister..."

Su Ke cried in agony, not understanding the painstaking effort Su Pan’er had put forth.

The commotion had lasted in Su Pan’er’s room for most of the night, until Su Pan’er sat in the bridal sedan and followed the sparse group of people who had come for the wedding procession. The scene was so desolate and quiet, it didn’t look like a wedding at all, yet it made Su Ke cry like a small dog that had been abandoned.

It felt as if the whole sky had collapsed!

In the end, after his Second Elder Sister got married, she had transformed completely! She was no longer the fool who let others take advantage of her, and Su Ke was sincerely happy!

Second Elder Sister had become formidable, even healing his leg injury! She had truly changed, as if she had become someone else.

She no longer needed his protection!

Su Ke couldn’t express the disappointment in his heart, yet he had not forgotten the promise of his childhood!

The promise to protect his Second Elder Sister for his entire life, the promise to achieve greatness through his own abilities!

When he came first outside of the first class at the High School, his longing to see his Second Elder Sister, who had already become the Empress, was simply indescribable.

Afterwards, His Majesty gave him a task.

Su Ke understood that the reason His Majesty did so was naturally to train him, to make him become his right-hand man, the pillar of the nation, as soon as possible!

He left quietly, taking advantage of the joy of high school that still enveloped the people, and with his personal page boy under the pretense of "visiting family," he and his good friend Xue Qian set off southward by boat.

Along the way, the scenery was magnificent, and Su Ke was in high spirits. He and Xue Qian laughed and talked loudly, taking the chance to experience the landscape and public sentiment along the way—how pleasant it was.

However, once they arrived in Changze County, Su Ke discovered that things were not as simple as he had imagined!

Firstly, His Majesty’s mother had been buried in Deicide Mountain after her death, and Deicide Mountain, with its vast expanse and undulating mountains, presented a situation like a dog biting a hedgehog—there was nowhere to start!

Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait long before Old Cheng and Venerable Priest Liao Chen arrived.

The busy investigation, with people constantly being sent out to search, seemed like it would never end.

Su Ke, tired and worn out, dragged his exhausted body back to the county government office to rest, when suddenly his companion Xue Qian let out a light exclamation.

"What’s wrong?"

Su Ke brought his horse to a halt.

Xue Qian, who had stopped to inspect the situation, hesitated for quite a while before shaking his head, "It’s nothing, I must have seen it wrong. Let’s go!" He continued to ride forward, entering the county government office.

Su Ke looked in the direction Xue Qian had inspected for a long while but found nothing, so he shook his head as well and entered the county government office.

Not long after the two men had disappeared into the county office, two graceful figures appeared at the corner of the street.

Miss Hanmei, in a plain-colored dress, was standing by the roadside with a contemplative look in her eyes.

"Young Lady, we’ve traveled thousands of miles to get here. Having seen Lord Su, why didn’t you go greet him?"

"Hold your tongue; I have my own plan!"

Miss Hanmei rebuked her maid and then turned her gaze back to the gate of the county government office.

She hadn’t come all this way just to see him; she carried a significant responsibility on her shoulders! Remembering the task that person had entrusted her with before she left...

Miss Hanmei bit her lip and slightly tilted her head, only to lock eyes with another familiar figure.
