at was his name again… Forgot…"Literary genius…" Su Wenhao looked at Chen Zixuan in his arms, who was staring blankly and looking adorable, and smiled softly…Ritian's brow furrowed, and a chill emanat...Chen Zixuan glanced at Su Wenhao. Su Wenhao frowned and stood up, looking towards the door...

"Father! Please slow down, be careful of the stones!" Huai Ping shouted loudly on purpose, just to let the young master in the house know that his father had arrived.

"You don't have to shout. If he didn't know I was here by now, he would have been killed years ago!" The head of the Su family swept a glance at Huai Ping with his sharp eyes, and walked into the small dwelling with his cane.

"That's what the old man taught me!" Huai Ping muttered.

The head of the Su family didn't knock, he just pushed the door open and walked in.

This is a middle-aged man who appears kind and approachable, but just look into his eyes and you'll know he's a very shrewd man. It's almost impossible to get anything good out of him.

Out of courtesy, Chen Zixuan stood up and smiled at the head of the Su family, nodding slightly.

"Father!" Su Wenhao silently shifted his feet, shielding Chen Zixuan behind him.

The head of the Su family's sharp eyes kept looking up and down at Chen Zixuan, then winked at the people beside him.

“Father! It’s rare for you to come to my humble abode. Why don’t you sit down and have a cup of tea first” Su Wenhao knew that the head of the Su family coming over so late must be for something important, he instinctively felt it was because of Chen Zixuan. Su Wenhao stood in front of Chen Zixuan, protecting him like a mother hen, his eyes constantly fixed on the people around the head of the Su family.

"That's certain, but I want to speak with you privately about some family matters..." The head of the Su family tapped his cane...

"Hmm... Is this something for outsiders not to hear Heh heh, anyway, I'm not interested..." Chen Zixuan smiled at Su Wenhao and was about to leave.

Su Wenhao grabbed Chen Zixuan's hand and shook his head at her. How could he possibly let Chen Zixuan leave his sight at this moment

He frowned and said, “Zixuan might be able to give me some advice.”

"Hmph..." The head of the Su family sneered coldly, "Don't you remember the rules of the Su family If you want her to enter the Su family, you should know what to do, right"

Su Wenhao's brows furrowed even tighter. How could he possibly not know the Su family's rules The Su family's rules clearly stated that any woman who had not entered the family, even if she was betrothed, was forbidden from participating in family affairs and was absolutely not allowed to disobey the head of the family. If she disobeyed, the head of the family had the right not to include her in the Su family genealogy...

Besides the ancestral hall, the most important thing for a family is its genealogy. If you cannot be included in the genealogy, it means that you are not recognized by this large family. Such consequences are what Su Wenhao does not want, so Su Wenhao has no other choice...

"Huai Ping, take the young lady down to rest." Su Wenhao said to Chen Zixuan again, "Zixuan, wait for me and my father to finish talking before you come see you." Su Wenhao patted Chen Zixuan's hand.

Chen Zixuan wryly smiled... With your father's attitude, he wouldn't allow me to stay here. You definitely won't see me for a while. I just don't know how he will deal with me... Will he directly kill me to eliminate the threat If that happens, maybe you'll never see me again...

"Zixuan, don't be afraid," Su Wenhao said sternly to Huai Ping again, "If the young lady has any mishap, you know my temper!"

Huai Ping could only grit his teeth and say, "Don't worry, Young Master!"

Chen Zixuan and others walked out of the room. Chen Zixuan thought she would be sent to another place, but things were not as she expected. She was only taken to a secret room.

Although Huai Ping wanted to save her, he also knew that as a servant, he couldn't disobey his master. And he didn't have the ability to disobey. Although the young master had cultivated a lot of power, now the financial power was still in the hands of the old master. If the young master went against the old master, he would find it very difficult to support so many people. Without silver, I'm afraid some people would defect...

Alas... Huai Ping sighed and walked away silently.

Inside the room, it was pitch black. Chen Zixuan couldn't see anything, so she didn't dare to move forward. An unknown hand reached out and touched her twice, and she realized she was completely unable to move...

"Miss Chen, I apologize for the offense!" a voice softly sounded beside Chen Zixuan.

Chen Zixuan's hairs stood on end. In such a dark environment, hearing such eerie sounds, how could you not be afraid

"Damn it! Do you know why I'm offended What the hell are you trying to do!" Chen Zixuan had never hated this damn acupuncture technique as much as he did right now. "So what if you can do acupuncture! You bully me because I can't! If you have the guts, let's fight without it!"

Chen Zixuan was cursing the person who had poked her acupuncture points in her heart. Suddenly, she heard the voice of the head of the Su family coming from before her.

"Kneel down!" The head of the Su family struck the ground with his cane.

"Father, I have done nothing wrong. Why should I kneel" Su Wenhao's voice was very stubborn.

"Uh... so you brought her here to listen to your conversation, huh Hey, weren't you just acting all tough saying you wanted to talk alone a moment ago Now you're bringing her along and forcing her to listen to a private conversation, what's the deal... Even though I guessed you were talking about me, I don't care to hear it! "

Although he said that, Chen Zixuan still pricked up his ears to listen. After all, who doesn't have a bit of gossip in their heart

“You ungrateful son! Do you know who she is married to!” The head of the Su family's voice was completely different from before, the volume increased significantly, showing how angry he was.

"She is the woman of my son!" Su Wenhao's voice was calm as water...

"Uh... Chen Zixuan's face darkened.... When did I become your woman How come I don't know..."

"What You, you've already..." The head of the Su family's voice revealed disbelief...

"Yes! So my son will marry her, father. Didn't you teach me since I was young to take responsibility as a man" Su Wenhao's voice remained as calm as still water...

"Pff... Chen Zixuan almost spat out blood... Hey hey hey, are you being sarcastic! What have I done to you I only kissed you once! Just a kiss, it's nothing! What responsibility am I supposed to take for a kiss A kiss doesn't lead to pregnancy! Please don't randomly admit things like this..."

"Marry her Heh heh... you're really overestimating yourself, aren't you Do you think you could actually marry her Think the Fifth Prince would let you"

She has nothing to do with the Fifth Prince. I've checked her pulse, and there's absolutely nothing between them...

"Innocent Innocent words, would the Fifth Prince go so far as to suppress our Su family for her"

"The child has already explained to the Fifth Prince that the Su family did not send anyone to assassinate him. The child believes he will see through it..."

“Hmph, Wenhao, when did you become so foolish… Do you really think the Fifth Prince doesn't know that the Su family didn't send assassins after him But why is he still suppressing them Don't you even try to understand the reasons behind this Your father always praised your intelligence, how come you're now as stupid as a pig and stubbornly refuse to see things clearly! Are you trying to drive your father to death”

"Father, didn't you say that it is important for a person to have their own pursuits Now that I have found one, why are you trying to stop me, Father My child will not give up on the love of my life!"

"You disobedient son! How dare you disobey me Do you know what the Fifth Prince did for this woman tonight"re not really asleep, are you Alright, alright, stop pretending. We're already at the Xiangfu, what should I do At least say something, give me a reaction, will you Honestly..." Chen Zixuan was about...
