Luo Fengjiao disliked her daughter more and more.
"It seems you know nothing about Xiaoying's situation, although I haven't been able to discern her exact strength either."
But I can guarantee that she's far superior to your adopted daughter, or even your three sons!
"Impossible!" Yin Jiao'e immediately shook her head. "How could a wild girl who has been living away from home be better than Xue Jiao? I don't believe it. Mother, you can't just talk nonsense because you dote on her."
"Nonsense? Ha, let's wait and see!"
Luo Fengjiao was too lazy to argue with Yin Jiao'e any longer, so she got up.
"You can have Su Xuejiao represent the Su family in the Southern Region Grand Competition, and I will have Xiaoying participate in the name of the Fire Phoenix Clan. Let's see whose judgment is more accurate!"
After saying that, he left the main hall.
...
Meanwhile, since returning from Pin Yue Ju, Su Xuejiao has been taking care of her two injured brothers in Su Jinhao's room.
"Ouch, big brother, be gentle."
"Grandma was really ruthless."
While applying ointment to Su Jinyi and Su Jinyun's wounds, Su Jinhao complained bitterly to Luo Fengjiao.
Su Xuejiao, her eyes red, kept blaming herself as she watched her two brothers injured like this: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, my second and third brothers wouldn't have gotten hurt. I..."
"Little sister, this has nothing to do with you," Su Jinyi said through gritted teeth. "It's all that girl Su Yunying's fault."
Su Jinyun was also indignant: "Grandma is the same. Why does she side with an outsider and even go so far as to attack us?"
Su Jinhao had a gloomy face and didn't say a word until he finished applying the medicine to the two brothers.
After a long while, Su Jinhao finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, your injuries are not serious. You just need to rest for a couple of days."
Then he said to Su Xuejiao, "Little sister, don't blame yourself. Grandma is just like that, you know that. Just let her be."
Upon hearing this, a shadow crossed Su Xuejiao's eyes.
The thought of Luo Fengjiao giving her personal pendant to Su Yunying filled him with resentment and humiliation, instantly permeating every cell of his body.
What does this tell us?
This shows that Su Yunying has gained the approval of her mother's family. Although it is not obvious at the moment, as time goes by, her relatives will gradually gravitate towards her.
No, we absolutely cannot let that happen.
He couldn't bear to see Su Yunying living a good life, lest it affect her future and prospects.
Thinking of this, Su Xuejiao came up with a vicious, yet extremely absurd, plan.
Su Jinhao continued, "And then there's Yunying. After all, she's been separated from us for many years. We can get to know her slowly in the future. She's still our own sister, and family should get along well. Sigh."
Upon hearing this, Su Xuejiao quickly wiped away her tears and then said to Su Jinhao, "Brother, you're right. Yunying is still my sister, and she's our parents' flesh and blood. We should get along well."
Hearing Su Xuejiao's sensible words, Su Jinhao felt a surge of relief. His little sister was so kind.
"That's true, but Yunying has a lot of prejudice against the Su family, so I'm afraid she won't be willing to go back to the Su family with us anytime soon. Besides, her sworn brother is really not easy to get along with."
Upon hearing this, Su Xuejiao immediately said, "Big brother, I actually have an idea that might change my sister's mind."
Su Jinhao: "What are your thoughts?"
Su Xuejiao said, "My sister will be eighteen in a month. If we can arrange a marriage for her, maybe she will get rid of her prejudice against us."
"Marriage?"
Su Jinhao was somewhat puzzled.
Su Xuejiao said, "Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers."
If we could find a suitable match for my sister, someone from a similar social standing and who is also close to the Su family, she wouldn't have left us.
The three Su brothers thought about it and realized it made sense.
But after thinking it over carefully, Su Jinhao still hesitated: "Then which company should we choose?"
Su Xuejiao smiled and said, "Huo Huaisheng, the fourth young master of the Huo family in the west of the city, is also of marriageable age. He is handsome and talented, and his character is also excellent. He is the perfect match for you, sister."
Su Jinhao nodded: "Huo Huaisheng is indeed a handsome man, with both literary and martial talents, and his family background is also quite suitable, but will he marry Yun Ying?"
Su Xuejiao said, "Don't worry, with your looks and appearance, how could you not be a good match for Young Master Huo?"
"If you agree, brother, I'll personally arrange everything for my sister."
Su Jinhao hurriedly said, "How can I let a young lady like you show her face in public and cause people to gossip?"
Don't worry, I'll talk to my parents and ask them to come and propose marriage.
Su Xuejiao was overjoyed and said, "This matter needs to be handled quickly. It's best to settle it as soon as possible so that my sister can focus on her studies. My brother should also take the initiative to visit the Huo family."
"It would be best if they came to my Su family to propose marriage as soon as possible. I will go and talk to Mother myself."
Su Jinhao did not object, and thought Su Xuejiao's suggestion was excellent.
After all, Su Yunying is almost eighteen. At this age, a young woman should be settling down and starting a family if she doesn't pursue cultivation.
Seeing that Su Jinhao agreed, Su Xuejiao's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
She had met Huo Huaisheng before. He was a man with severe violent tendencies, or in today's terms, paranoia. He always felt that the women around him would cheat on him.
If Su Yunying really marries him, her life will be ruined!
To perfect the plan, she quickly shared the idea with Yin Jiao'e.
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiao'e immediately agreed: "Hmph, it's already a bargain for this wild girl to marry into the Huo family and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury!"
Since the plan to extract phoenix blood from Su Yunying's body for Su Xuejiao had failed, Yin Jiao'e, enraged and ashamed, simply sent her to the Huo family to suffer torment.
Upon hearing this, Su Xuejiao revealed a sly smile of triumph in her tea ceremony.
"Su Yunying, you should experience the Huo family's traditions. I hope you'll be satisfied with the marriage I've prepared for you."
