After her biological father achieved great merit, he changed his heart and decided to abandon her and her mother. He said, "I am the ever-victorious Marquis of Anping. You and your mother shoul...
Su Chang'an looked at Qin Jin'an; he had never seen her look so radiant.
Her face was rosy, her skin was fair and her lips were red; she looked exquisite and spirited.
In his memory, his daughter had always been sickly, and it was only through Qin's meticulous care that she survived.
He didn't want to admit that she was blessed, and after he turned his life around, he wanted to abandon them.
But in less than a year, his family has become like this. Su Chang'an dared not think about what his family would become if he really lost her.
Because he was afraid, he went to great lengths to get his daughter back.
"Su Dai, if we send you back, will everything be alright at home?"
Su Chang'an remained silent, but Su Changshui couldn't wait any longer and looked at Qin Jin'an to ask.
Qin Jin'an rolled his eyes: "Third Uncle, your affairs have nothing to do with me. You are getting your just desserts for all the evil you've done. Whether I'm here or not won't change anything. Of course, if I'm unhappy here, then you will definitely be unhappy too."
She was just taking what was rightfully hers.
She didn't take some of what they had.
If the Su family could hold on, that was their own skill; if they couldn't, it was their own fault.
Even with immense wealth, how can one retain it without cultivating virtue and good deeds? No matter how much wealth one possesses, it will all slip through one's fingers.
Before she reclaimed the blessing, they still had good fortune, but she no longer favored them.
The various misfortunes were not because of her, but because the problems already existed. If they could be solved in a good way, there would naturally be a good outcome. However, the Su family is inherently greedy.
It wasn't her who killed them; it was their own greed and arrogance.
Qin Jin'an yawned as he looked at them with interest.
Will they actually fight?
"Big brother, you heard that, didn't you? They won't let her leave, and they're taking their anger out on us!"
Seeing that Su Chang'an remained silent, Su Changshui could no longer sit still.
Su Chang'an felt a splitting headache.
Su Changsheng suddenly spoke up: "Brother, let's send her away. If this continues, our family will be gone."
“I said I won’t agree to this! Are you deaf? All of this is your own fault. If you weren’t so harsh, would Luo Laowu have betrayed you? If you hadn’t deliberately made things difficult for him, would you have been trapped in the snow and almost died?”
"And you, Su Changshui, if you ordered your men to patrol day and night, would anyone have the chance to set fires? Water sources should be patrolled every day. If you had proper supervision, these things would never have happened!"
Su Chang'an's face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth as he looked at his two younger brothers who had reached a consensus. How could he not be angry and resentful?
Although nothing good has happened in the family, upon closer examination, can't these things be attributed to their own reasons?
All of this happened after he left home, when his two younger brothers neglected their responsibilities.
Not only did they refuse to admit their mistake, they also blamed him.
"Brother, are you blaming us? But if you hadn't been so heartless as to drive Qin Yuwan away, none of this would have happened. Back then, Su Dai was wholeheartedly devoted to the family!"
Su Changshui was very dissatisfied and shouted in a voice even louder than Su Chang'an.
Su Changsheng glanced at Su Chang'an and said in a deep voice, "Third brother is right. The first thing eldest brother did after being ennobled was to divorce his wife and abandon his daughter. Because of this, countless people look down on us behind our backs. Now eldest brother is blaming us, but have you ever thought that all of this is because of you? You've been showered with wealth and honor, and now eldest brother despises his wife who shared his hardships... Ah—"
Before Su Changsheng could finish speaking, he was punched in the mouth, which knocked him to the ground.
"You bastard!"
Su Chang'an was furious. His authority had been challenged, and he could no longer tolerate it. He punched the man, interrupting his disobedience.
"If you hit my second brother, I'll fight you to the death."
Su Changshui angrily attacked Su Chang'an. If he hit Su Changsheng, he would hit him next, so he might as well strike first.
Su Changshui shouted at Su Changsheng, "Second brother, come help me!"
Su Chang'an was furious when he heard this.
In the past, his two strong and powerful younger brothers would never have dared to act recklessly, and he could easily deal with them. But now, he felt that his punches were weak and powerless, while the punches from Su Changsheng and Su Changshui were extremely painful.
Su Changshui and Su Changsheng joined forces, and Su Chang'an was beaten so badly that he gave up fighting back.
After a while, Su Changsheng calmed down and pulled Su Changshui aside, saying, "Third brother, that's enough."
Su Changshui also stopped: "You started it."
"Let's split up."
Su Chang'an spoke coldly, saying that the three brothers had long been at odds, blaming and blaming each other, and refusing to obey him, so it would be better to separate the family.
Su Changsheng and Su Changshui were stunned for a moment, then Su Changshui spoke up: "How do we divide the family?"
"What do you mean by how to divide it? I bought the house, and you've ruined the cloth shop and winery. I'll give each of you five hundred taels of silver, and you can just move out."
Su Chang'an looked at his two younger brothers with a hint of sarcasm.
He didn't want things to come to this, but there was nothing he could do. That's how irreconcilable the brothers were.
The two brothers ruined their money-making business, and now the family only has a house and a little bit of land.
The farmland harvest was poor this year and he didn't make any money. This mansion was in his name and was a gift from the emperor.
"Brother, you really are our good brother! Five hundred taels to divide the family property? No way! My wife has run away, and I can't do business anymore. You won't even talk about dividing this big house, the land, or the shops. Do you think you can act like a lawless person just because you're the Marquis of Anping?"
Su Changshui said sarcastically in a cold voice.
Su Changsheng frowned as well: "Brother, we will not agree to this division of the family. Since you are unwilling to send Su Dai away, let's just wait it out and enjoy the good days together."
If you can't live a good life, then your whole family will suffer.
"Second brother is right."
Su Changshui nodded repeatedly, and reached out to support Su Changsheng: "Second brother, let's go."
The two brothers helped each other walk away.
Qin Jin'an had been quietly watching the show. Seeing that Su Chang'an hadn't moved for a while, she even yawned. She asked, "Scumbag father, aren't you getting up?"
Su Chang'an glanced at Qin Jin'an, smiled, and asked, "Sweetie, are you worried that Daddy is getting cold?"
"No, you can stay lying down if you're not going to get up. I'm going back to my room to sleep."
Qin Jin'an shook his head with a look of disgust, then turned and went inside.
Su Chang'an sighed, and after a while, he reluctantly got up and left.
Su Changsheng and Su Changshui shared a room and discussed how to change Su Chang'an's mind.
In the end, Su Changsheng came up with a plan to target Qian Min. Su Chang'an might not listen to them, but he would definitely have to listen to Qian Min.
Su Changsheng approached Zhao Caiju and asked her to get to know Qian Min better.
"Ju'er, just send more handmade items to your sister-in-law. If she's happy, she might just give you something, and that would be a real treat." Su Changsheng spoke to Zhao Caiju with a kind smile, making Zhao Caiju very happy.
