"You, did you leave the Zhao Mansion so easily? Why didn't you stay with Zhao Junchen?! You, you must stay in the Zhao Mansion!"
Su Changzhen looked at Su Xiuning with wide eyes, as if Su Xiuning had done something unreasonable.
Seeing Su Changzhen's attitude, both Su Xiuning and Aunt Xiang frowned.
Especially Su Xiuning, all the joy in her heart was instantly wiped out when she saw Su Changzhen.
After Su Xiuning was silent for a moment, she asked: "Dad, since Mr. Zhao is willing to rescue the Su family, why does his daughter still have to stay in the Zhao Mansion? Is it possible, dad, that you insist on letting your daughter become a concubine?"
Aunt Xiang was Su Changzhen's concubine. She understood the concubine's humble status and was also dissatisfied. She asked: "Sir, since the Su family can be rescued and the matter has been properly resolved, why do you still have to force it?"
Entering the Zhao Mansion with Xiu Ning? Master, do you really not know the status of a concubine? Xiu Ning is your most beloved daughter, how can you really tolerate it? I have asked, Mrs. Ru from the Zhao Mansion is not
An easy one to deal with!"
Su Changjin, who had been in high and low officialdom for many years, naturally noticed their emotional changes, and his tone suddenly became much softer, but his attitude remained unchanged.
Su Changzhen knew that Su Xiuning was soft-hearted and was not good at refusing, so he persuaded her in a sad tone: "Daughter, my good daughter, Daddy also knows that this matter is too difficult for you. Daddy is sorry for you! But you also have to
Think about your brothers and nephews. Most of us in the Su family are powerless and have no skills. All our family property was confiscated by the court. Even if your brothers and nephews escaped and were sent to the frontier, they were demoted to Le.
But what will they do for a living in the future? Are we going to let them live on the streets, begging for a living? Therefore, daughter, you must stay in the Zhao Mansion. Only in this way can you truly save the young and old of the Su family, otherwise
You just let them escape from the sea of fire, but then threw them into the mountain of knives!"
After hearing Su Changzhen's persuasion, Su Xiuning remained silent.
Su Xiuning was very resistant to Su Changzhen's attitude of "sacrifice herself to benefit the Su family". This was not the first time Su Changzhen planned to sacrifice Su Xiuning.
Chilling.
But surprisingly, Su Xiuning did not resist Su Changzhen's arrangement.
In fact, Su Xiuning even felt a sense of relief somewhere in her heart.
Because these arrangements made by Su Changzhen gave Su Xiuning a reason to get close to Zhao Junchen again.
Zhao Junchen generously agreed to Su Xiuning's request today, but he did not ask for anything from Su Xiuning. Instead, he showed a "this is the fate" attitude and seemed to have no intention of meeting Su Xiuning again.
Zhao Junchen's performance not only made Su Xiuning feel relaxed, but also made Su Xiuning feel a little disappointed. It seemed that he had escaped the tragic fate of becoming a concubine, but Su Xiuning's future life had completely lost its direction, especially when Su Xiuning discovered that she was not actually a concubine.
When he did not resist Zhao Junchen and even thought that Zhao Junchen was a reliable destination, this feeling of loss became even stronger.
Because of this, after hearing Su Changzhen's persuasion, Su Xiuning did not like Su Changzhen's attitude of sacrificing himself at will, but he did not resist Su Changzhen's views too much, but he felt a little conflicted.
Seeing that Su Xiuning remained silent, Su Changzhen felt nervous and said again: "Xiuning, do you want to watch your relatives suffer? Dad is already dying, do you really want to let him die in peace?
?"
Su Changzhen knew very well that he would inevitably be sentenced to death, so he was even more concerned about the future of the Su family. Now that he was in prison, he could not force Su Xiuning at all, so he had to put aside his dignity as a father and put on a sad face.
He kept pleading, but everything still depended on Su Xiuning's attitude.
In the end, Su Xiuning did not reject Su Changzhen immediately, but her eyes towards Su Changzhen became colder.
Su Xiuning said slowly: "Mr. Zhao is not as easy to be seduced by women as father thought. He was willing to help his daughter because he cared about the original friendship. But after he helped, my fate with him was over.
If my daughter continues to pester me, I am afraid that it will cause Mr. Zhao’s displeasure."
Seeing that Su Xiuning said this and did not seem to resist his own persuasion, Su Changzhen was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "There is no need to deliberately pester him, just find some excuse to meet him from time to time. In a long-term relationship, as long as Xiuning
If you take a little more initiative, you won't be afraid that he won't take the bait!"
After hearing Su Changzhen's suggestion, Su Xiuning remained expressionless on the surface, and her coldness was very obvious, but there was a faint movement in her heart.
Isn't the prisoner named Guo Min in the cell outside the reason for her meeting Zhao Junchen again?
*
Su Changzhen's various performances are ultimately chilling.
Come with good fortune and return with bad luck.
So Su Xiuning quickly left Su Changzhen's cell, but said that she would come to the prison to visit Su Changzhen tomorrow.
Seeing Su Xiuning's expression, Su Changzhen felt very complicated, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Under the leadership of the cell leader, Su Xiuning left along the original road, her expression silent, but her eyes could not help but fluctuate.
On the side, Aunt Xiang was an outsider, so it was difficult to say anything after all. She thought Su Xiuning was unwilling to give up, so she just stayed by her side to persuade her softly.
However, when several people walked to Guo Min's cell, Su Xiuning suddenly stopped and looked at Guo Min.
Obviously, when Su Xiuning was talking to Su Changzhen, the prison boss gave Guo Min a severe lesson, so Guo Min's image at this time was much more embarrassing than before, with several bloody marks on his body, and he was weak.
Lying in the cell, completely unable to move.
However, he still held on, just wanting to see Su Xiuning again.
After seeing Su Xiuning stopping outside the cell and looking at him, Guo Min suddenly became excited.
So, Guo Min used up his remaining strength and said to Su Xiuning again: "Master Zhao... I want to see Master Zhao..."
Different from before, Guo Min had just received a severe beating and his body could no longer bear it. Although he had exhausted all his strength, his voice was still low.
But Su Xiuning still heard it, nodded slightly, and then left quickly.
After seeing Su Xiuning's performance, Guo Min felt relieved and completely collapsed in the cell.
*
The family concept of the ancients was far stronger than that of later generations. Most men have a sense of responsibility.
Su Changzhen was like this, and Guo Min was like this too.
Especially after the family is in danger of severing their bloodline, they are willing to sacrifice many things in order to protect the family inheritance.
Su Xiuning planned to sacrifice his daughter, even though Su Xiuning was once the apple of his eye.
Guo Min planned to sacrifice his hatred. Even if all the disasters in the Guo family were caused by Zhao Junchen, he was good at business, and he had also heard about Zhao Junchen's current lack of talents. Before the southern tour,
Zhao Junchen once secretly recruited him, but due to various considerations, he finally rejected Zhao Junchen's recruitment. But as long as Zhao Junchen is willing to let go of the Guo family, then he is willing to work for Zhao Junchen!
In fact, Guo Min also knows some very useful information. He believes that as long as Zhao Junchen is willing to meet him, he will be able to convince Zhao Junchen!
