When the Su Family Army was mentioned, Su Yun'an immediately thought of its unique characteristics.
It is said that like general, like soldiers. The soldiers of the Su family army are all as tall and strong as their father, brave and skilled in battle, truly resembling him.
The fighting prowess of the Su family army is undeniable; it's something that everyone in Eastern Chu can attest to.
The emperor was able to ascend the throne entirely because his father conquered all the vassal kings for him. Moreover, his father also defended the borders and expanded the territory for him.
It can be said that the vastness of Eastern Chu today is largely due to the contributions of my father and the Su family army.
But my sister is right. If Father wasn't a member of the Northern Wei royal family, where did the 300,000 Su family soldiers come from?
My father wasn't from a noble family, nor was he a member of the Eastern Chu royal family. Where did he get the Su family army, and so many as 300,000 of them?
Seeing that he seemed to understand, Su Xuening reminded him again: "Don't you think that Father doesn't look like Su Renyi and Su Huiyan? Father is tall and handsome, Su Renyi is not tall and is of average appearance, and Su Huiyan can only be described as pretty."
If Su Huiyan had resembled her father even slightly, she probably wouldn't have been completely unable to win the Emperor's heart.
However, even if Su Huiyan does resemble her father somewhat, her mother is so beautiful that she cannot compare to her. Moreover, her mother's personality is more likable than Su Huiyan's.
If she were a man, she would love her mother too!
Su Yun'an immediately understood and his eyes widened: "So Father, Su Renyi, and Su Huiyan are not siblings!"
My sister is right. Father is nothing like Su Renyi and Su Huiyan. They are not the same in stature, appearance, or character.
Perhaps their father wasn't their biological sibling at all!
Thinking about it, Su Yun'an suddenly felt wronged again: "But if they aren't blood siblings, why is Father so good to them?"
The father had no idea how much disaster he had brought to the eldest branch of the family by bringing Su Renyi and Su Huiyan to the capital.
The second branch of the Su family repeatedly tried to harm him and his sister. Fortunately, his sister was clever; otherwise, neither of them might have survived to this day.
They also wanted to seize their family property and mansion, and that Su Huiyan didn't treat them like nephews and nieces at all. Not only did she never help them, but she also thought about how to help the second branch of the family and harm them!
Su Renyi and Su Huiyan are both so bad, yet their father is so kind. Thinking about it, they might not actually be siblings!
Su Xuening also thought of her past life.
Whether in their past life or this one, all their misfortunes stemmed from their father bringing Su Renyi and Su Huiyan to the capital.
She resolved many problems in this life.
In their past life, their entire family was truly killed by Su Renyi and Su Huiyan. On the other hand, after Su Renyi and Su Huiyan conspired to kill their father, Su Renyi inherited his father's title of Marquis of Yong'an and seized their General's Mansion. Xuan Yuan Yu successfully exchanged the life of her child for the throne. Su Feiling became the Empress, and Su Huiyan became the Empress Dowager. They also imprisoned their mother, harmed Yun'an, and even tore him apart with five horses.
And then there's her. If she doesn't perish together with Su Feiling, she can only pretend to be crazy in the cold palace for the rest of her life, watching her loved ones die and her enemies laugh, helpless and powerless.
Thinking of the helplessness she felt in her past life, Su Xuening closed her eyes in despair.
But how can all of this be blamed on the father? He started working at such a young age, and probably wasn't very familiar with his younger siblings. He probably never imagined that his closest relative would bring ruin upon his entire family!
Su Xuening took a deep breath, forcibly banishing the events of her past life from her mind, and comforted Su Yun'an: "Perhaps Father has no idea that he and they are not their biological children."
The father must not know about his own background, otherwise he would not have completely failed to investigate it.
The father was different from the mother; the mother suffered from amnesia and had forgotten her own origins.
My father was born in Dongchu, so why would he suddenly doubt his own background? He probably never doubted that Su Renyi and Su Huiyan were not his biological siblings!
Su Yun'an didn't want to resent his father, but the more he knew, the less calmly he could accept his father.
He always felt that his father was so powerful that he could protect the entire Eastern Chu, but he couldn't protect his family. He couldn't protect his mother, nor could he protect his siblings. He didn't admire or like his father anymore.
Su Yun'an suddenly leaned wearily into Su Xuening's arms: "Sister, no matter what Father's background was, he's gone now. Even if he really was a member of the Northern Wei royal family, what does it have to do with us? Why should we investigate these things?"
Even though his father was a member of the Northern Wei royal family, he did not want to gain any benefits from the Northern Wei royal family, nor did he want to have any involvement with the Northern Wei.
He's fine as he is now. He likes Eastern Chu because his sister is there; he can also accept Western Liang because his mother is there; but he won't go to Northern Wei because he has no father there either!
How could Su Xuening not understand Yun An's thoughts? This child has always been so well-behaved and sensible.
He never cared about anything material; all he cared about was family.
Su Xuening stroked Su Yun'an's back, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "There's one more thing I haven't told you yet."
Su Yun'an looked up in a daze. Her sister had said so much today, yet there was still something she hadn't mentioned.
Su Xuening looked at Su Yun'an solemnly and said, "Father was killed by Su Huiyan and Su Renyi."
Su Yun'an was shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief: "Didn't Father die for his country? He died on the battlefield in the Northern Rong!"
My father clearly died in battle, so how could he have been killed by Su Huiyan and Su Renyi?
"Yes, he did die on the battlefield, but he was killed by a scheme devised by Su Renyi and Su Huiyan!"
In fact, Su Xuening didn't know exactly how her father died, so she couldn't explain much to Yun An.
However, she was certain that her father was killed by Su Renyi and Su Huiyan.
Su Yun'an was shocked: "How could this be? Father is so powerful, and he also has the Su family army. How could he be so easily tricked by Su Renyi and Su Huiyan?"
Although Su Renyi went to the battlefield with his father, how could Su Renyi compare to his father's prestige in the army? His father was the commander of the Su family army. With such a solid backing as the Su family army, how could his father be killed by Su Renyi and Su Huiyan?
Su Xuening narrowed her eyes. This was indeed the problem: "So, there is also a problem with the Su family army. I suspect that someone in the Su family army is colluding with Su Renyi and Su Huiyan from the inside, and that someone in the Su family army has harmed my father."
Ever since Xuan Yuanzhan analyzed it with her last night, she has noticed something unusual.
There's definitely something wrong with Su's army; the only question is whether it's one person or a group!
