Tongjia rolled her eyes at Su Hetai: "What kind of father are you, always hoping for your daughter to get a divorce!"
“So what if we get a divorce? It’s not like I can’t afford to raise He Xue. I have to let the Crown Prince know that he can’t bully my daughter. He can only spoil my daughter. Even if there’s something wrong, only I, the father, can say it. Even if he is the Crown Prince, he can’t do it.”
"I, Su Hetai, am He Xue's biggest support. No matter what, He Xue will always be my daughter, and I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance!" Su Hetai said with a proud look.
Tongjia was amused by his appearance. "Good, good, good. Xue and I are so lucky to have a father who loves her so much."
Su Hetai quickly waved his hand and said, "Having a daughter like Hexue is a blessing I've accumulated over many lifetimes!"
"By the way, sir, an invitation has been sent from the Suo'etu residence. They say they want to introduce his newly adopted daughter to everyone. Is this Xu Yan?" Tongjia asked.
"Hmph! That old scoundrel Suo'etu, I knew he was up to no good! I should have put a sack over his head and given him a good beating!" Suhetai said angrily.
"Father, who are you going to fight? I'll go with you!" Shuyi and Jingshu walked in.
“Of course we should beat up Suo’etu! That sycophant!” Suhetai said.
"What's going on?" Shuyi didn't know how Suo'etu had offended Suhetai again. Judging from Suhetai's appearance, if Suo'etu were here, Suhetai might just tear Suo'etu apart alive.
Tongjia told Jingshu and Shuyi what had just happened.
"He Xue is heartbroken for the Crown Prince? And she's been crying all the time?" Shu Yi asked incredulously.
“Father, Mother, although He Xue likes the Crown Prince, based on my understanding of He Xue, if the Crown Prince really did such a thing, He Xue would definitely not be a resentful woman!”
"Is there some misunderstanding here?" Jing Shu didn't believe that He Xue would be sad for someone who hurt her!
“I also think my little sister isn’t that kind of person!” Shuyi said from the side.
"Master, where did you get this information? Is it reliable?" Madam Tongjia asked Su Hetai.
Jing Shu and Shu Yi were also looking at Su Hetai.
Suhetai awkwardly touched his nose, "I just... overheard people talking about it privately when I was in the palace!"
"So you actually believed it? You're going to go and argue with the Crown Prince when you get back?" Lady Tongjia glared at him.
"I'm just worried about Xue!" Su Hetai muttered softly.
“Father, I’m afraid someone deliberately let you hear this!” Jing Shu said.
"Why do you want me to hear this?" Suhetai asked.
“Father, if you knew that your little sister had been wronged, you would definitely go to the Crown Prince. If you do anything rebellious, the Emperor will not forgive you easily.”
"The Crown Prince also has grievances against you, and this might implicate He Xue!" Jing Shu analyzed for Su Hetai.
"If I find out who's plotting against me, I'll make them pay!" Su Hetai was even more furious after hearing Jing Shu's words.
"Father, please calm down. This is just my analysis. The most important thing is to find out what He Xue is doing in the palace!" Jing Shu calmed the agitated Su Hetai down.
"I have already sent my invitation to the palace, and I will be able to enter the palace in a few days!" said Lady Tongjia.
"Let's talk about it after Mother has met Hexue!" Jing Shu didn't say something: if someone really did this on purpose, his mother probably wouldn't have been able to enter the palace so easily.
He hasn't been able to see the Crown Prince recently, and he's also unable to get any information from him. But should he go to the Ministry of Revenue to look for the Fourth Prince?
“I know who’s behind this!” Suhetai suddenly said.
"Who is it, Father?" Shuyi asked.
"Of course! That old scoundrel Suo'etu is definitely trying to sow discord between He Xue and the Crown Prince so that his adopted daughter can take advantage of him. He's a cunning old fox!"
"Shuyi, let's go find a sack! Come with me to beat up that old bastard, he didn't give him a good beating last time!" Suhetai rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to get into a fight with Suhetai.
"You stay put!" Tongjia shouted, stopping Su Hetai. "Didn't Jingshu say we should talk after we've met Hexue? The way you're acting now will only make things worse!"
"I was just worried about Xue!" Su Hetai said, sounding aggrieved.
“Even if you’re worried, you have to wait!” Tongjia said, her eyes wide.
Seeing this, Jing Shu and Shu Yi immediately found an excuse to leave. Although their father wouldn't do anything to their mother, he would definitely take his anger out on them, so it was better to leave quickly, as the commotion wasn't going to be pleasant.
