The family brought Su Qingli and Xie Linyuan together

Following Xie Linyuan's footsteps, Su Qingli no longer felt the excitement she once had.

Facing the agile Xie Linyuan, her mood became calmer, and she just regarded Xie Linyuan, who was leading the way, as an ordinary man she met.

But Xie Linyuan still couldn't forget: "Why should there be such alienation between you and me? This is what I should do. If I hadn't been so weak-willed at that time..."

Su Qingli interrupted coldly, "Xie Xiaojiangjun, let the past be the past. I have never blamed you. You deserve a better woman. Our Su family is now in decline and is not a good match for your general's mansion."

Su Huaihai stood outside the courtyard gate and took a puff of opium. He was waiting here specifically for Xie Linyuan to bring Su Qingli.

Hearing Su Qingli's self-deprecation, he immediately retorted, "Li'er, you're being too self-deprecating. You and A-Lin are both talented and beautiful, so why aren't you a good match?"

It is obvious that his daughter is a noble lady picked from thousands of people in the capital. Even when the Su family is in decline, no one can match her, let alone be a match for Xie Linyuan.

"Uncle Su is right. Qingli is the most perfect woman in the capital. She is more than enough to match anyone. Please go in and sit down. Let me serve the dishes."

Xie Linyuan gently pushed the father and daughter into the house and complimented Su Qingli according to Su Huaihai's words.

In fact, this is not entirely a compliment, it is also sincere.

Su Qingli is well-read, has outstanding looks and extraordinary temperament. In the entire capital, there is no other woman as elegant and beautiful as her.

She didn't want to trouble Xie Linyuan, but since the family of three were all here, Su Qingli couldn't refuse her kindness, so she had to bite the bullet and follow him in.

"Sister, what have you been busy with these days? Why don't you come home to see me, my parents, and me?"

Su Zhaoming held Su Qingli's soft hand affectionately, with a hint of complaint in his mumbling, but the hateful Fu Xuechen refused to let them enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.

They were unable to visit Su Qingli, and once Su Qingli did not contact them actively, Su Qingli and them would lose contact.

"Brother, I came to see you guys, why didn't you wait for me at home and discuss it with me? Why did you rashly come here and make General Xie spend money?"

There was a hint of blame in Su Qingli's words. She and Xie Linyuan had parted ways a long time ago, so why couldn't her brother and parents figure it out?

Xie Linyuan could tell she was drawing a line between us, thinking she still had some resentment in her heart: "Qingli, this is what I have to do. Please don't be so distant with me. From now on, your family is my family."

"Sister, General Xie treats us very well. Don't you want to start over with General Xie?"

Su Zhaoming doesn't like Fu Xuechen.

It just so happens that Xie Linyuan and Fu Xuechen's attitudes and actions towards them are completely opposite.

Su Zhaoming was quickly won over and fully accepted Xie Linyuan as his brother-in-law.

What's more, Xie Linyuan and Su Qingli were once a couple, but they were forcibly separated.

"Brother, stop talking nonsense! My status is no longer comparable to that of General Xie." Su Qingli deliberately used his status to remind the others that the gap could not be crossed.

"Qingli, your family should stop fighting over me. Sit down and let me have a good meal with you. This is the delicious food I sent someone to buy from the best restaurant in the capital."

Xie Linyuan did not ask Su Qingli to forgive him immediately, and wanted to prove his sincerity with practical actions.

He didn't care much and smiled as he served the food and rice to the people.

Su Qingli quickly snatched the rice spoon and bowl from Xie Linyuan and declined indifferently: "General Xie, we can do it ourselves. Please sit down and enjoy the food."

Xie Linyuan let Su Qingli be as she pleased, put down his hand and sat next to her.

The steaming hot dishes on the table exuded their own fragrance. Su Huaihai swallowed his saliva. He used to go to Xianke Tower from time to time.

Now, he is short of money and has almost no money to eat in even the cheapest and most ordinary taverns.

Having not tasted such delicious food for a long time, Su Huaihai's eating manners were the ugliest, like a starving prisoner released from a cell.

Su Qingli frowned and handed him a handkerchief and half a bowl of chicken soup. "Father, eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you. When I have money in the future, you will be able to live a good life."

She couldn't help but think of the pile of exquisite sachets she and Xiaoxiang had made. If she took those eye-catching little gadgets to the town to sell, she might be able to make a considerable profit with interest.

Su Huaihai's eyes lit up when he heard Su Qingli talk about making money and living a good life. Isn't the person who can help them improve their lives right in front of them?

As long as my daughter marries Xie Linyuan, wouldn't that be a huge profit? There'll be plenty of money to spend in the future.

"Li'er, with A-lin here, why do you need to make money? The engagement between you and A-lin still stands. Your father went to the general's mansion to find your parents-in-law, and they also recognized this marriage." Su Huaihai wanted to use the general's mansion as a cash cow.

"Father, you went to the general's mansion?" Su Qingli was shocked.

She also understood the character of the Xie family. General Xie and Madam Xie would never tolerate their beloved son marrying a married woman.

The answer is self-evident. It must be the father who was making trouble.

Su Qingli frowned slightly and rubbed her forehead worriedly.

"Qingli, we in the General's Mansion are trustworthy and we are not the kind of people who would kick someone when he is down. Even if your Marquis' Mansion is gone, I will keep my promise and marry you."

Xie Linyuan looked at Su Qingli with burning eyes, expressing the attitude of the General's Mansion and his intentions, so that Su Qingli had no worries.

Unexpectedly, Fu Xuechen, who was looking for someone, arrived here exhausted.

He listened to his words carefully and looked for Su Qingli for several hours.

Su Qingli is fine!

The family sat together happily eating and drinking, and secretly hooked up with Xie Linyuan, their backer, in order to betray him and join the general's mansion.

Su Qingli didn't care whether the General's Mansion would fulfill the marriage contract. After all, she had been married once, and she and Fu Xuechen had an agreement that she would remain a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion until the three thousand taels were paid off.

She was about to retort when she caught sight of a figure in the dim light under the eaves from the corner of her eye.

That person was Fu Xuechen.

Fu Xuechen just gave her a look, turned around and left without saying a word.

"Thank you, General. I don't need your sympathy. Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it." Su Qingli refused, thinking to herself that it was bad. Fu Xuechen was so powerful now that she couldn't afford to offend him.

Ti Ju hurriedly chased after the figure, but the figure disappeared into the distance. He could only call out to Fu Xuechen's men, "Why did you and the Prime Minister come here?"

"In reply to Miss Su, the Prime Minister sent me to help you find someone, but I lost you. The Prime Minister just went out to look for you himself."

Su Qingli was quite surprised and slightly touched.

She had always believed that Fu Xuechen was cold-blooded and hated her family, but she never expected that he would help her find her family.
