In terms of time, the Su family was the longest-standing; in terms of prestige, however, they weren't particularly outstanding. Although the Su family was fortunate enough to have an empress who was Su Xiaoyao's aunt, the empress was not favored. Grandpa Su only served as Duke Cheng'en for a few months before passing away.
The Lin family was different. Although they did not have many descendants, several generations of the Lin family had been important officials in the court and were highly regarded by the emperor.
So, no matter how you look at it, the Su family got the better deal from the Lin family in this marriage. However, life wouldn't be easy for a woman from such a prestigious family. Su's mother felt sorry for her daughter and didn't want her to jump into that wolf's den, but she couldn't stop Su Xiaoyao from being devoted to him and insisting on marrying no one else.
Now that her daughter has finally figured things out, Su's mother is happy, but she doesn't know how to cancel the engagement.
The master, Su's father, is currently infatuated with that Yang Xiuzhu. I wonder if he will agree to Yao'er breaking off her engagement with that Lin family boy.
Lu Qingyan said, "In the past, I devoted myself entirely to him, which made my mother worry about me. Now I understand that if I treat him well, he will accept everything, but if I don't treat her well, she doesn't seem to have any negative feelings. Mother, he has never cared about me. I'm so tired of living like this."
It's not that Lin Ke doesn't care about Lu Qingyan, but rather that he doesn't give her enough of his attention.
"Brother Lin is always busy, but he doesn't tell me what he's busy with. Every time, I can only wait anxiously for him to come and see me, but I don't know where to look for him."
Mother Su sighed, "Yao'er, that boy from the Lin family is outstanding, but there are many people better than him. You will eventually find someone who suits your taste. Although his family background may not be as good as his, his temperament will definitely be a thousand times better. He will pamper you and care about you. If he treats you badly, your father and I will deal with him and see if he dares to treat you badly again."
Listening to her mother's gentle voice, Lu Qingyan gradually fell asleep.
Looking at her obedient daughter, Su's mother felt a surge of tenderness in her heart and a look of loving affection in her eyes: This was the treasure that God had bestowed upon her!
Lin Ke was playing chess with Su's father. His chess skills were superb, and he quickly won two games: "Uncle, please—"
Su's father angrily threw down the chess pieces in his hand: "I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore. You're too cunning when you play chess. You've completely learned your uncle's tricks. I can't beat your uncle."
"Uncle, how did such a person end up in our house?" Lin Ke asked knowingly.
"Well, this was sent by the Yang family." Su's father was quite embarrassed in front of Lin Ke, who was playing chess. "I thought this person was good-looking, so I kept him by my side."
“Uncle, you’re getting on in years, you should focus on self-cultivation.” Lin Ke said bluntly, what was there to see in a woman whose face was already disfigured? There was no need to keep her by his side anymore.
"Lin Ke, do you even know how to speak properly?" Su's father's old face turned bright red.
"Please forgive me for my offensive words, Uncle." Lin Ke sincerely apologized. "I've just heard that you and Aunt are not getting along..." At this point, Lin Ke glanced at Su's father's face and finally said, "Actually, I should tell you all this, Uncle, but I can't help but say it. The Emperor doesn't like people who favor concubines over their wives. If you continue like this, you will definitely lose the Emperor's favor."
Father Su's face paled, and he thanked him repeatedly: "This time it was all thanks to Ke'er's reminder. I almost lost my temper. I will definitely not do it again in the future."
