âSister has already taken action, hasnât she? Whatâs there for me not to trust?â
Su Yingxue chuckled lightly. Su Han opened a branch without giving advance notice, but instead got straight to work diligently, which proved her capability in this area was not weak.
Since she had this idea, what reason did she have to obstruct it?
And with Wu Jinyanâs current condition, she probably couldnât be busy at the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion for a while. Someone needed to look after the business.
Su Han nodded with a smile, âIn that case, I will draft a contract. After Jinyan has seen it, the three of us can sit down and sign it. I absolutely wonât take more than whatâs yours, sister.â
Having received this opportunity from Su Yingxue, she naturally wouldnât mistreat her.
This opportunity was too good for her, like a lifeline.
âBut, sister, as a daughter of the Marquisâs Manor and our uncleâs daughter, your status is noble. Arenât you afraid that our aunt wonât agree, or of any gossip, if you lower your status to manage Thousand-Jiao Pavilion like Sister Jinyan?â This concerned Su Yingxue.
Though Su Han was resilient, she was different from Wu Jinyan. Wu Jinyan had been accustomed to hardship since childhood, hence developing a good character and abilities.
Even though Su Han could manage the internal affairs of the household, it wouldnât necessarily mean she could adapt to the external world of business.
Over time, Su Yingxue worried it could be detrimental to her future marriage prospects.
âMy mother does not agree. She has been angry with me ever since I came to the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion, forcing me to continually stay in the Marquisâs Manor, but as time passed, she seemed to have no way to stop me. Furthermore⦠you neednât worry, Iâve already chosen my future husband, and he supports me in doing this.â
Su Han patted Su Yingxueâs shoulder.
Su Yingxue was particularly surprised, âFuture husband? Who have you chosen, sister?!â
Su Han had always been decisive, but that she had already chosen a husband was beyond Su Yingxueâs expectations.
It seemed that quite a lot had happened during the few months she wasnât in Jiang Du City!
âYouâve met him. Heâs junior officer Song Chengyi, who should be returning to the capital with the army now.â
Su Han smiled faintly, a warm and sweet light gleaming in her eyes.
Su Yingxue tugged at the corner of her lips, âSong Chengyi⦠I seem to have seen him in the military, is he still a junior officer?â
Su Yingxue didnât recognize military ranks, but she had caught a glimpse of Song Chengyi in the military one day and noticed that his armor was different from the past.
She knew that although Song Chengyi was not handsome, he was capable, and would surely accomplish great things in the future.
But she never would have imagined that Su Han would end up with him.
âSister, how did your story with him develop? Iâve been away for so long, and seem to know nothing. Even that rascal Miaoyan, I donât know where sheâs run off to!â
When it came to glibness, Su Miaoyan was more interesting.
Listening to Su Han narrate would certainly be subdued and restrained, not as entertaining as having Su Miaoyan tell the story as if she were a storyteller!
âMiaoyanâ¦â
As Su Han began to speak, she found it somewhat tricky, âYou really should go see her. Sheâs been living in the Qilin Garden for so long since youâve been gone. I heard that Aunt Yin visited the Qilin Garden twice, but couldnât take Miaoyan out.â
âQilin Garden? Xiao Yu! Heâs detained Miaoyan?â
Su Yingxue jumped to her feet and rushed to the Qilin Garden. As she barged in, she kicked the door and cursed, âXiao Yu, where have you kept my sister? Release her at once! Otherwise, I wonât let this go!â
Although Xiao Yu had helped them by fixing the tunnels, saving her brother, and thus owed them a favor, this man was really shameless!
