Chapter 256: Marquis’s Manor’s Stewardship

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Making Hong Lian kneel before her tonight was akin to subjecting her to bone-piercing torture.

The humiliation today would be etched in Hong Lian’s memory for the rest of her life.

“Kill with precision, use different methods for each person.” Su Yingxue poked Zi Wei’s face as if she were teaching him.

Zi Wei didn’t understand these intricacies. He would only brandish his saber and risk his life whenever Su Yingxue faced danger!

However, Su Yingxue had tasted the sweetness. Hong Lian would prostrate herself before her, and the same fate awaited Liu Shulan and her daughter!

In her previous life, she was treated like a fool, and those who humiliated her would pay a brutal price in this life!

Liu Shulan and her daughter had taken the initiative to attack her so many times. As her medical center was closed for a break, she had the perfect opportunity to strike back at them!

Su Yingxue refurbished her medical center, taking the time to rest, hone her medical skills, and rejuvenate her spirits.

In order to see her, Su Hao also came back a few more times.

Seeing that her relationship with Su Dingheng had improved, he was puzzled but refrained from asking questions.

It wasn’t until Su Yingxue brought it up, “Father, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

Su Dingheng put down the tea in his hand and looked at her seriously. “What’s the matter?”

“Mother has passed away for many years, and there has been no mistress in the Marquis’s Manor. You have to attend court and manage the household, which is truly busy. 1 feel a bit sorry for father.” Su Yingxue’s eyes were filled with sincerity.

Su Dingheng was touched at first, until she continued, “I’ve been idle recently. Why not let me take care of the household for you? It would also lighten your burden.”

“This… There’s no need for that.” Su Dingheng looked a little uncomfortable.

Su Yingxue already held a significant portion of shops, and most of the Marquis’s Manor’s finances were under her control. If she took over the household affairs, wouldn’t he, as the father, be sidelined?

Su Dingheng would never allow himself to fall into such a situation.

He coughed lightly. “Cough, how can an unmarried girl like you manage the household? The affairs of the house are incredibly intricate and complicated!”

“It is precisely because I haven’t married yet that 1 want to learn. Otherwise, when 1 marry into my husband’s family, I’ll be the subject of ridicule. Our Marquis’s Manor would be blamed for not raising me properly.” Su Yingxue looked aggrieved.

“This… This…” Su Dingheng was speechless.

He didn’t want to relinquish power, but Su Yingxue’s words were reasonable!

Just when he felt relieved that Su Yingxue had been obedient for two days, she now seemed to be aiming to seize power.

In Su Dingheng’s eyes, his displeasure toward her returned.

Su Yurou happened to arrive at this moment. When she heard this, she stepped forward to help Su Dingheng out of the predicament. “Father, what Sister said makes sense, but… As a daughter of the Marquis’s Manor, Rou’er could also learn to manage the household and share the worries for father!”

Su Dingheng raised his head to look at her. Su Yurou was his beloved daughter, but she was still a little immature. Considering the mistakes she had made before, he was genuinely concerned about entrusting the authority of the Marquis’s Manor to her.

He only sighed softly. “You’re younger than Yingxue. I’m afraid you won’t be able to manage it well.”

“Daddy, let me try! Mother has taught me since 1 was little. Rou’er will not disappoint you.” Su Yurou clung to his arm and acted coquettishly.

When she mentioned her mother, she deliberately raised her eyebrows at Su Yingxue, mocking her for not having a mother’s guidance!

Su Yingxue didn’t take it to heart at all.

She quietly waited for Su Dingheng’s decision.

Su Dingheng was a selfish man to his bones. Other than Liu Shulan, whom he loved deeply, he harbored a sense of distrust even toward his own daughter, Su Yurou.

Now, as she and Su Yingxue contended, he sternly remarked, “Alright, you two sisters might not be able to manage it well. Hao’er’s military affairs are very busy. If he gets married, and we have a new there’s a young madam in the Marquis’s Manor, it won’t be too late for me to hand over the authority to her..”
