Su Qingzhi’s attitude, Qin Wan anticipated. “As soon as aunt arrived, she apologized, saying she hadn’t been able to help Father and the Marquis’s Manor before. She’s here now to see if she can assist with Yingxue’s wedding and to hear Father’s instructions.”

Although Qin Wan didn’t care for Su Xinlan, as a noblewoman and the eldest sister-in-law, Qin Wan still had to relay Su Xinlan’s message to Su Qingzhi.

Su Qingzhi snorted. “If she doesn’t cause trouble, that’s enough. What help can she offer?”

“Even 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?” Qin Wan handed the invitation to Su Qingzhi.

Su Qingzhi, seeing it was indeed Marquis Changxin’s handwriting, a strength Su Xinlan couldn’t imitate, decided to go to the front hall.

Su Xinlan’s attire today was subdued, with a hint of joy that matched the festive atmosphere of the Marquis’s Manor, making her less detestable.

Su Qingzhi sat down with his usual stern expression. “Marquis Changxin sent you to inquire about Yingxue’s wedding. Tell him everything is in order here. He needn’t worry.”

“Yes, Daddy.” Su Xinlan smiled and bowed.

“I’ll have someone prepare tea for aunt,” Qin Wan said, noticing the exchange.

“Eldest Sister-in-law, if you’re not busy, sit with me for a while!” 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.

” What’s on your mind? Eldest Daughter-in-law isn’t as leisurely as you. There are many matters in the Marquis’s Manor she needs to attend to. Don’t waste her time!” Su Qingzhi was well aware of Su Xinlan’s tendency to cause trouble.

“Father, I understand Eldest Sister-in-law is busy, but I have two matters to discuss that concern you.” Su Xinlan, appearing well-behaved, folded her handkerchief and placed it on her knees.

” What’s the matter? Do you need my opinion?” Qin Wan was wary, fearing Su Xinlan might implicate Su Han.

As expected, Su Xinlan smiled, “Eldest Sister-in-law, the first matter concerns you! Your Han’er has been home for so long. Aren’t you worried about her marriage? She’s young, in her twenties. She shouldn’t waste her youth at home! Don’t you care about her marriage?”

Qin Wan was taken aback. As expected!

“I and my husband will decide on Han’er’s marriage. You needn’t concern yourself, Aunt.” Qin Wan rejected firmly.

Su Qingzhi glared at Su Xinlan. “Stop meddling! I’ll choose Han’er’s marriage partner. It’s not up to you!”

Su Xinlan, annoyed, asked Su Qingzhi, “Father decides? Did you already choose General Xiao Zheng’s family?”

“General Xiao Zheng’s family?” Su Qingzhi frowned, turning his gaze to Qin Wan.

Qin Wan stood up and replied, “Father, it’s a family I’ve chosen for Han’er. General Xiao Zheng comes from a humble background but served under Dingwei. Husband spoke highly of him. I intended to match him with Han’er, but I haven’t discussed it with her yet. I’m not sure how aunt found out!”
