Chapter 566: Don’t be Like Fourth Aunt

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

At that moment, seeing that Su Qingzhi hadn’t instructed anyone to rise, Su Xinlan, with her sharp tongue, remarked, “Oh, Your Highness is truly filial. Despite your noble status, you show such respect to my father. You are truly a paragon of filial piety!”

Chu Xiaotian raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at her before replying, “Thank you for your praise, Aunt.”

Being addressed as “Aunt” by Your Highness made Su Xinlan extremely proud. She even said to Chu Xiaotian, “Oh, this child is so polite. Get up quickly, get up quickly!”

As she spoke, she moved to help Chu Xiaotian up.

Madam Yin kindly reminded her, “Aunt, Father hasn’t spoken yet.”

Su Xinlan’s expression changed, and her outstretched hand awkwardly hung in the air.

Pretending not to notice Su Xinlan, Su Qingzhi hadn’t treated her as his daughter for a long time.

To avoid further embarrassment and to save face in front of Chu Xiaotian, Su Xinlan could only turn to Su Dingheng. “Second Brother, the Marquis’s Manor is now yours. You should say something! Should Your Highness keep kneeling like this?”

Su Dingheng silently drank his tea, with Su Qingzhi presiding over them. His voice was always very soft when he spoke, “The Marquis’s Manor wasn’t under my control!”

Su Yingxue was in charge of affairs, and above her was his father!

With Su Qingzhi there, he didn’t dare to say a word.

What else could he do?

Su Xinlan cursed Su Dingheng in her heart for being spineless. Then she turned to Su Dingwei. “Brother, Your Highness is your son-in-law. You can’t ignore him and allow him to kneel. If this gets out, how will Han’er behave in the Regional Prince’s Mansion?”

It would have been fine if she hadn’t mentioned Su Han, but Su Dingwei was like a lit firecracker as he glared at her and snapped, “It’s not your place to tell Han’er how to behave. Go back and sit properly!”

Su Xinlan could only return to her seat dejectedly.

Madam Yin, sitting on her right, held her daughter Su Miaoyan’s hand and earnestly instructed her, “Miaomiao, you must remember not to be so frivolous. Be careful with your words and actions.”

Su Miaoyan seemed to understand. She was only twelve years old, her innocent face filled with naivety.

Be careful…

Su Miaoyan leaned against her mother and whispered softly, “Mother, don’t worry. I won’t meddle like Aunt!”

Madam Yin rubbed her head, feeling very relieved.

Su Xinlan heard it all but didn’t dare to go up and slap the mother-daughter duo!

It was all her father’s fault!

He had kicked her out when she was young and even shaved her head. Now, the whole family looked down on her!

Su Xinlan sat at the very back, gritting her teeth and thinking to herself, “I will become the Marquis’s wife and be bestowed with a noble title. Then, I’ll ruthlessly slap this group of people in the face! Let them all look down on me!”

Su Qingzhi hadn’t given permission, so Chu Xiaotian kept kneeling.

After studying him carefully for a moment, Su Qingzhi, although young, seemed steady and much better than his second son.

After Su Qingzhi set down his teacup, he spoke lightly, “May I ask Your Highness why my granddaughter didn’t accompany you?”

“Yes, Han’er hasn’t seen her grandfather for a long time at today’s family banquet. She must miss him very much. Why wouldn’t she come?” Qin Wan, not seeing her daughter, felt her heart tightening again.

She was afraid Su Han was suffering again in the Regional Prince’s Mansion.

Chu Xiaotian explained slowly, “It’s not that I didn’t want to bring Han’er out, but she’s not feeling well…”

“Han’er is not feeling well? What’s wrong with Han’er?” Qin Wan’s heart trembled, and she almost cried..
