“Father, you’re unfairly blaming me! Whenever something happened to my sister, you never came to her rescue, yet you always placed the blame on her first. Can you name any other father in the world like you?” Su Hao couldn’t contain his anger and shouted sternly.

He had been raised by his grandfather from a young age, and he had long forgotten any affection he had for Su Dingheng.

However, he couldn’t tolerate Su Dingheng treating Su Yingxue this way!

“Both of us are Su family children, but you’ve lavished gifts on Su Yurou and now you can’t even spare a word of concern for my sister?” He pressed on insistently.

Su Dingheng’s face was practically half-shaven by his words. He became infuriated, “She’s also my daughter, can Rou’er create trouble like her?”

Su Yurou had caused trouble, and it was up to him to resolve it.

Su Yingxue had stirred up trouble, yet he, in his position, hadn’t even uttered a complete sentence before the matter was resolved!

This feeling of defeat was reminiscent of when he married Long Shuli and faced her!

She was so strong and fearless, even while carrying a child. She could still engage in intellectual battles with others. If she hadn’t disappeared unexpectedly once, she wouldn’t have died from complications during childbirth.

Su Yingxue was no different!

She possessed the ability, it would be impossible for anyone to approach and control her!

“Father regaining the authority of the household steward isn’t impossible.”

Su Hao and Su Dingheng argued for a while. Su Yingxue had already had two bowls of soup and finished her rice.

She sat at the table calmly.

Su Dingheng furrowed his brow, “What would it take for you to hand over the family authority?”

“Father, let my brother marry a wife and let my future sister-in-law join the family, the authority in my hands should naturally be passed on to her.”

Su Yingxue smiled mischievously and then glanced at Wu Jinyan.

Wu Jinyan had been sitting next to her the entire time, not uttering a word, yet she couldn’t be overlooked.

Su Dingheng appreciated her dignified demeanor and presence.

But, thinking of her background, he was filled with disgust. “Entering the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor isn’t so easy!”

“Yes, Marquis.”

Wu Jinyan slightly stood up and paid her respects to him.

Su Dingheng wasn’t treating her well, yet she remained composed. Even if Su Dingheng was angry, he couldn’t take it out on her. He could only return to his courtyard with frustration to vent his anger.

In Ling Xiao Garden, Su Yingxue sent Wu Jinyan off and followed Su Hao back.

Su Hao noticed that she was lingering and sighed, “Have you figured it out again?”

Su Yingxue sat on the stone table in his courtyard and playfully blinked her eyes. “Brother, you’ve written your troubles all over your face. It’s hard for me not to know!”

Su Hao smiled wryly and said, “I initially wanted to give Yan’er a home and make her my rightful wife. But now, due to the imperial decree, I’m ordered to guard Bamboo Leaf Pass for three years. During these three years… what should Yan’er do?”

Su Yingxue’s brow twitched. In her previous life, Su Hao had never been ordered to guard Bamboo Leaf Pass.

Why was he suddenly…

“Bamboo Leaf Pass is a crucial barrier between the Yue Kingdom and the Great Wei Dynasty. Following the Yue Kingdom’s downfall, all the cities came under our empire’s control. Bamboo Leaf Pass became our border with the Great Wei Dynasty. However, the Great Wei Dynasty’s royal family hails from beyond the Great Wall, and their bloodline is different from common people. They’re fierce and adept at warfare. After seizing the previous dynasty, they established themselves as the Wei Dynasty. Lately, Bamboo Leaf Pass has been subject to frequent disturbances. The emperor has commanded me to go to Bamboo Leaf Pass to ensure border security.”

In plain terms, guarding the border was the most effective way to get rid of high-ranking officials.

Yet Su Hao’s situation was different. Among the young generals, he was the most exceptional and possessed strong leadership qualities. With Bamboo Leaf Pass on the brink of war with the Great Wei Dynasty, only Su Hao could make Great Wei Dynasty wary..
