Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. Her father was indeed a sly fox among civil officials.
He clearly knew that Su Hao liked Wu Jinyan and insisted on marrying her, and it was not so easy for him to marry Wu Jinyan to be the young madam of the Marquis’s Manor. His words were flawless and irrefutable.
Su Yurou didn’t get the right to be the butler, so she sat to the side indignantly. However, Su Yingxue continued, “Why does my brother need to get married? If Marquis’s Manor needs a madam, father can either marry or take in someone. It’s not impossible.”
Su Yurou looked at her in confusion.
Su Hao shouted angrily on the spot, “Sister, what are you talking about!”
Their grandfather had decreed that to protect their mother, their father couldn’t marry or rake concubines in his lifetime. Yet, she was suggesting that he marry again?
“Yingxue, do you mean what you’re saying?” Su Dingheng’s eyes lit up.
“Of course it’s true. Father, at your age, you should have someone to serve you.” Su Yingxue’s words were so sincere that even Su Yurou couldn’t believe it and thought that she had gone crazy.
“Well then… I’ll immediately send someone to propose marriage! This…”
Su Dingheng was overly happy and remembered that he still had the old master above him. He quickly took back his words. “In this life, I’ve only had your mother as a wife. However, if 1 were to take a concubine, I’d long had someone in mind.”
“Oh? Who is it?” Su Yingxue’s eyes were pure as she pretended not to know.
“It’s Rou’er’s mother. She gave birth to Rou’er and Jinxuan, but she never had a status. Now, only Rou’er has returned to the Marquis’s Manor, and Jinxuan is still wandering outside. I can’t bear it in my heart.” Su Dingheng pounded his chest in pain.
“In that case, father should indeed give sister’s mother a status.” Su Yingxue smiled faintly.
“Su Yingxue, do you know what you’re talking about?” Su Hao stood up and stared at her with red eyes.
Su Yingxue had an innocent look on her face. Su Hao rushed out angrily.
Su Yingxue bowed slightly. “If father needs my help in this matter, I’ll definitely not reject it. I’ll go persuade brother.”
“Good, good, good! You’re really a sensible and obedient child!” Su Dingheng was overjoyed.
He had wanted to marry Liu Shulan for so many years. Now that Su Yingxue had taken the initiative to propose it, she was so obedient that it was unbelievable!
However, Su Yurou’s eyes were filled with doubt. “Father, is this not a trap set by sister? Are you really going to welcome Mother into the manor?”
“Nonsense! Rou’er, you’ve really been spoiled by me! Your sister is so understanding, she suggested that 1 bring your mother into the manor, and here you’re speaking ill of her!” Su Dingheng reprimanded Su Yurou.
Su Yurou was filled with grievances as she returned to her room sullenly.
Su Yingxue used her flying skills, leaped onto the roof beams, and then jumped down to catch up with Su Hao.
“Brother, slow down. My legs aren’t as long as yours!”
Su Yingxue landed in front of Su Hao and pulled his sleeve.
Su Hao shook her off angrily. “Don’t touch me!”
“Brother, if you’re angry with me, 1’11 cry for you!”
Su Yingxue’ used her trump card.
“You…” Su Hao instantly lost his temper.
In the military, he could tame many stubborn and disobedient soldiers. However, at home, he couldn’t say a single harsh word to his sister.
“Brother, don’t be angry. If mother knows that I did this, she won’t blame me.” Su Yingxue pulled his hand and acted coquettishly.
Su Hao’s handsome face turned gloomy, and his eyes were cold, “If mother knew that the woman had entered the house, she would never be pleased!”
