The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

As if she had fallen into deep emotion, Su Li was talking in her sleep.

"Before, Li'er was an illegitimate daughter in the family and could not marry in place of her second sister. Now, Li'er can marry in place of her second sister, and Li'er is very happy."

Su Jinquan understood.

I felt my brain go blank and go completely white.

His face was full of disbelief.

This third sister was well-behaved since childhood. Although she was not favored in the Su family, she was still the third young lady of the Su family. She was pampered with fine clothes and food and was taken care of by servants. How could she... go to such lengths for a man?

Judging from her words, she probably only met Ye Fan once or twice, yet she is so infatuated with him.

How could this happen?

She was a scoundrel back then, but when choosing a husband, she did choose the best, selecting Zhang Wei, who had a powerful background and was easy to manipulate, from among many suitors. How come...

Did the family tradition completely change when it came to the second and third sisters?

Su Jin, who was inside the house, was still in shock.

Su Hong, who was listening outside, was completely dumbfounded.

He felt that things were a bit chaotic.

It's a complete mess!

We can only sort it out carefully.

The general is going to marry Su Xiu, who is in love with Ye Fan. Ye Fan is pursuing Su Xiu, and Su Li seems to have fallen in love with Ye Fan at first sight. So Su Li is going to marry the general and take good care of him, serving him day and night.

The more I try to organize it, the messier it gets!

Su Hong felt a headache coming on.

This is even more chaotic than when he was organizing his accounts.

He was so confused he felt like he was going crazy.

He kicked the door open, stared directly at Su Li, and roared, "Su Li, explain yourself! What exactly happened?"

"Second, Second Uncle..."

"Don't call me Second Uncle, I don't have a niece like you." Su Hong said angrily, "What are you thinking? I don't understand what you're saying!"

"I, I..."

Su Li hurriedly stood up, then glanced at Su Jin out of the corner of her eye. Seeing Su Jin's appearance, she immediately knew that the girl's feelings could no longer be hidden. She nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, looking pitiful, like a stray cat.

"Explain yourself!"

Su Hong roared and repeated, "Have you always had that bastard Ye Fan in your heart?"

"Second Uncle, Brother Ye Fan is not a scoundrel."

"So you mean yes? Good, good, good."

"Let me ask you."

Su Hong stared intently at Su Li: "From the very beginning, when the General wanted to marry your second sister, you weren't really happy about it, were you?"

"But you couldn't stop it?"

Su Li remained silent, and Su Hong continued, "Because you think your second sister, Su Xiu, and that scoundrel Ye Fan are truly in love?"

"Are you going to grant your second sister's wish?"

"No, you're going to give in to that bastard Ye Fan?"

Su Li remained silent, which only fueled Su Hong's anger: "So, that's why you willingly married the General, so that not only could your second sister be saved, but you could also be with that Ye Fan."

"All you ever thought about was making that bastard Ye Fan happy?"

With this question in mind, Su Hong understood.

But he would rather not have figured it out.

For many years, he has been handling all the affairs of the Su family, big and small, ensuring the Su family's business and status continued to rise and maintaining the Su family's prestige in the Northern Frontier. He was already exhausted.

Therefore, he developed the ability to clearly understand and accurately handle complex interpersonal relationships.

Even someone with his abilities almost got confused today. After finally figuring it out, he realized that all his hopes and dreams were just a pipe dream.

All my hard work has turned into a joke.

The figures of the Su Jin and Su Li sisters gradually blurred and distorted before Su Hong's eyes. Only when he waved his sleeve did he belatedly realize that his eyes were blurred with tears. He immediately wiped them dry, not wanting to show his vulnerable side in front of others.

The anger in his heart had long since become numb and hollow, finally letting out a roar that was hard to tell whether it was a cry or a laugh.

"I don't believe I've treated you and the Su sisters unfairly. Can you really bear to see my Su family mansion destroyed?"

"The entire family, spanning nine generations, was destroyed?"

Su Li knelt down with a thud and hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, no, no, the Su family will be fine, and Second Sister will be fine too."

"After I marry the General, I will definitely abide by the duties of a concubine, be humble and subservient, and serve him with utmost respect. I will certainly not dare to have the slightest temper or displease the General in the slightest."

"Second Uncle, don't worry."

"I will definitely make the General satisfied with me. I will never let the General think that I am not good enough and thus replace me... I will think that I am not good enough and thus affect the Su family."

These words were as sincere and thought-provoking as ever, and clearly came from the heart, but there was no longer any joyful atmosphere in the hall.

Until Su Jin, who had been standing still to the side, spoke.

"What if one day Ye Fan needs your help? What if he asks you to help him behind the General's back? You…"

"To help or not to help?"

Su Li was stunned, clearly she had never thought of this situation before, but she quickly came up with a solution and said, "Eldest sister, second uncle, don't worry."

"I will definitely not let the General find out."

"As long as I marry the Great General..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Hong roared, "You fucking give up already!"

"Still want to marry?"

"If she remarries into the Su family, the entire clan will have to go see their ancestors!"

"It's the entire clan!"

Su Hong turned and left, his steps unsteady yet hurried. Su Jin, fearing something might happen, quickly chased after him.

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, don't worry, don't worry. Fortunately, the matter has been discovered, but it hasn't been mentioned to the General yet, so there's still room to salvage the situation."

Su Jin's words made Su Hong pause slightly, and his impatience subsided a little, but he still said with worry, "But my Su family has already done such a great thing."

"Your good-for-nothing second sister has humiliated the General so severely. How can the Su family possibly survive?"

Su Jin quickly said, "Second Uncle, the General's thoughts are unpredictable, and I dare not speculate too much. However, I think the General is a pragmatic person with principles."

"Otherwise, given what my second sister did, our Su family would have been slaughtered by the seven thousand soldiers of Yunji City long ago. The fact that our Su family is still alive suggests that the General has a deeper meaning."

Su Hong was well aware of this.

Keeping the Su family mansion around is simply a matter of needing money and provisions.

No problem. The Su family will definitely give their full support. Now that the marriage alliance with the General is over, the clansmen may not be willing to put in the effort, but that doesn't matter. He will do his best to persuade them. Even if the effect is not so good, he will definitely let the General know that he, Su Hong, is worth more than his price!

But the problem now is...

How can we quell the general's anger and regain his approval of the Su family?

They could only discuss it with Su Xiu, but neither of them had any good ideas. Just as they were talking, they suddenly heard a series of sounds of chaos and commotion outside the mansion.

"What happened?"

"The soldiers of Yunji City have been mobilized?"

"Are they here to wipe out the whole family?"

Su Hong's face turned deathly pale.

Su Jin was also somewhat worried, but she still mustered up her courage to go out and ask. When she returned, her already extremely worried face was filled with fear.

"Second Uncle, something terrible has happened! Someone has rescued Second Sister from under the city gate."

"What?" Su Hong exclaimed in alarm, "Someone's there?"

"Won't the General think they're from the Su family?"

"It's all over!"

"The General will definitely think we're involved. This time, the Su family is truly finished!"
