The old man was silent for a while, puffing on his cigarette. "Qiao'er, what are you thinking?"
Before Su Qiao could speak, he sighed again: "Although our Su family is a little poor, we will never do such a thing as selling our daughters for fame and fortune, but that gentleman..."
The old man had a sad look on his face.
"That master is too powerful. If he really wants to take you to the capital, I... I can't do anything about it!"
He has a large family at home and he cannot ignore them, but he also cannot bear to sacrifice his eldest granddaughter.
"If... if that man was a normal man, I would grit my teeth and let you accept your fate, but... but he just..."
His Su family had no rules about allowing younger generations to become concubines, but if the other party was extremely powerful, he would not be able to change his mind.
I can only accept my fate.
But this situation is not just about being a concubine, but the other party is not a normal man at all, and he cannot even leave offspring.
If his granddaughter really followed him, wouldn't that ruin her life
The more the old man thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt: "Alas! This matter really makes me feel embarrassed."
Su Qiao scratched his head, also very conflicted.
She didn't know how to tell the old man about this.
He didn't even ask her about Feng Han's true identity, and she didn't tell her that he was not a eunuch.
After all, this is a matter of great importance. I'm afraid the old man might accidentally let something slip, or say it out under unavoidable circumstances, which would ruin his plans.
"Master, he won't force me."
"I've already told him that I won't go to the capital for now. As for whether I'll go there in the future, we'll talk about it later."
If she didn't have a family, she wouldn't mind going to the capital with him now, but the problem is that she has a large group of people.
The old man was a little surprised: "He agreed?"
Su Qiao nodded confidently: "Of course."
"He still has a lot of things to deal with. I won't take the risk of taking you there."
The Su family are genuine farmers and ordinary people. How could they understand the intrigues and deceptions in the capital
How can I be a match for those people
The old man was stunned: "You mean, we have to go too?"
Aren't you just going to take her away
Why still...
Su Qiao nodded: "That's what he said."
"He said that we can move our whole family to the capital at that time. He said that he has thousands of acres of farmland and a farm outside the capital. We can grow crops, vegetables, or orchards as we like."
“This…?” The old man had never thought that the other party would want to take their entire family to the capital.
And there are thousands of acres of farmland, which is really attractive.
"It's still not possible. With his status... we can avoid going if we can."
Since the other party doesn't force his granddaughter to go to the capital, let's just delay it for now.
Maybe after a year or two, the other party will lose interest in it.
At most, my granddaughter will get married a year or two later.
Seeing that he was no longer as worried as before, Su Qiao said no more.
"Master, I'm only fourteen. It's too early to think so much now. Let's think about these things next year. You should think about building a new house first!"
"I'm going out. I need to draw new styles and patterns for bags, as well as the blueprints for our new house. Oh, and I also need to draw the blueprints for the printing molds. There's a lot to do."
The old man waved his hand absentmindedly: "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I need to think about this carefully."
When they reached the door, Su Qiao suddenly stopped again: "There's one more thing I forgot, sir. Let's go to the town and open a shop!"
