She was very grateful for Su Yingxue’s good intentions, but she couldn’t endure it. In the end, she had to use the rest of her life to make amends.
“Mother, the maid in the prince’s mansion was probably driven away by Min Jia. Please give Zhifen to me, so that I can have someone trustworthy by my side.” Su Han, still recovering from her injuries, was already making plans for the future.
Her current situation didn’t allow her to rest peacefully.
In the prince’s mansion of Yong’an County, when Chu Xiaotian brought Min Jia back, the household was in chaos. He had not slept the entire night.
The Old Regional Prince couldn’t console Madam Sheng, and after attempting to persuade Min Jia without success, he turned to Chu Xiaotian. “Son, when will you bring the daughter-in-law back? She has always managed the affairs of the prince’s mansion. Only she can maintain balance!”
The Old Regional Prince was getting a headache. While Chu Xiaotian could handle stewardship after inheriting the title, managing the numerous women in the backyard was proving to be tiresome. His wife’s tsundere temperament made things even more challenging.
Chu Xiaotian, satisfied with Su Han from the first moment he saw her, had handed over the mansion’s authority directly to her.
Su Han had managed things efficiently for years, never disappointing. However, he hadn’t expected his wife and daughter to misbehave so much!
Chu Xiaotian’s eyes were now dark circles. He wasn’t concerned about the mansion’s affairs but about Su Han, who had always been obedient, now defying him!
She had defied him several times!
He had never said he wouldn’t treat her, yet she believed Su Yingxue and distrusted him, her husband who shared the same bed!
He loved her so much. How could she treat him like this?
“Dad, I will bring her back. Tell Mom and Sister that Su Han will come back and apologize to them!”
Chu Xiaotian’s expression darkened. He knew Su Han couldn’t escape him!
“Well… Forget it! As long as she comes back, there’s no need for an apology.” The Old Regional Prince understood that it wasn’t Su Han’s fault. It was his wife and daughter who were causing trouble. Su Han had already shown remarkable tolerance.
Outside Jiang Du City, a massive army of tens of thousands marched forward in a disciplined formation. However, a lone rider left the army like a shooting star in the night sky.
An elderly man, sitting on a robust horse, with white hair and beard, wrinkles visible in the dark, looked towards the city gate. Waving his hand, he ordered, “Set up camp here, enter the city tomorrow.”
“Set up camp here, enter the city tomorrow!”
The order spread through the entire army by horseback scouts.
Su Wei, the deputy general, asked from behind him, “General, the city gate is close. Although it’s late, you could return directly to the Marquis’s Manor.” Despite Su Qingzhi’s age, his physique allowed him to ride back without any issues.
Expressionless, Su Qingzhi instructed, “Set up camp.”
Su Wei refrained from further questions.
After the tent was set up, Su Wei thought Su Qingzhi would rest early to prepare for entering the city the next day. However, Su Qingzhi called him in and said, “Enter the city later tomorrow. If you can delay, another day would be even better..”
