Su Qingzhiâs attitude, Qin Wan anticipated. âAs soon as aunt arrived, she apologized, saying she hadnât been able to help Father and the Marquisâs Manor before. Sheâs here now to see if she can assist with Yingxueâs wedding and to hear Fatherâs instructions.â
Although Qin Wan didnât care for Su Xinlan, as a noblewoman and the eldest sister-in-law, Qin Wan still had to relay Su Xinlanâs message to Su Qingzhi.
Su Qingzhi snorted. âIf she doesnât cause trouble, thatâs enough. What help can she offer?â
âEven though Father feels that way, today aunt brought an invitation from Marquis Changxin. Seeing that it was personally written by Marquis Changxin, why not go and meet him?â Qin Wan handed the invitation to Su Qingzhi.
Su Qingzhi, seeing it was indeed Marquis Changxinâs handwriting, a strength Su Xinlan couldnât imitate, decided to go to the front hall.
Su Xinlanâs attire today was subdued, with a hint of joy that matched the festive atmosphere of the Marquisâs Manor, making her less detestable.
Su Qingzhi sat down with his usual stern expression. âMarquis Changxin sent you to inquire about Yingxueâs wedding. Tell him everything is in order here. He neednât worry.â
âYes, Daddy.â Su Xinlan smiled and bowed.
âIâll have someone prepare tea for aunt,â Qin Wan said, noticing the exchange.
âEldest Sister-in-law, if youâre not busy, sit with me for a while!â Su Xinlan, unusually gentle, smiled at Qin Wan and pulled her to sit beside her.
Qin Wan, suspicious, remained wary but had to keep a composed demeanor.
â Whatâs on your mind? Eldest Daughter-in-law isnât as leisurely as you. There are many matters in the Marquisâs Manor she needs to attend to. Donât waste her time!â Su Qingzhi was well aware of Su Xinlanâs tendency to cause trouble.
âFather, I understand Eldest Sister-in-law is busy, but I have two matters to discuss that concern you.â Su Xinlan, appearing well-behaved, folded her handkerchief and placed it on her knees.
â Whatâs the matter? Do you need my opinion?â Qin Wan was wary, fearing Su Xinlan might implicate Su Han.
As expected, Su Xinlan smiled, âEldest Sister-in-law, the first matter concerns you! Your Hanâer has been home for so long. Arenât you worried about her marriage? Sheâs young, in her twenties. She shouldnât waste her youth at home! Donât you care about her marriage?â
Qin Wan was taken aback. As expected!
âI and my husband will decide on Hanâerâs marriage. You neednât concern yourself, Aunt.â Qin Wan rejected firmly.
Su Qingzhi glared at Su Xinlan. âStop meddling! Iâll choose Hanâerâs marriage partner. Itâs not up to you!â
Su Xinlan, annoyed, asked Su Qingzhi, âFather decides? Did you already choose General Xiao Zhengâs family?â
âGeneral Xiao Zhengâs family?â Su Qingzhi frowned, turning his gaze to Qin Wan.
Qin Wan stood up and replied, âFather, itâs a family Iâve chosen for Hanâer. General Xiao Zheng comes from a humble background but served under Dingwei. Husband spoke highly of him. I intended to match him with Hanâer, but I havenât discussed it with her yet. Iâm not sure how aunt found out!â
