, and knelt on the ground, as if begging them to spare her.A thug dragged her up from the ground, but then he suddenly dropped her and backed away, and several others also retreated a few steps."Huh,..."The child doesn't want to know what he did tonight. The child only believes in what he sees with his own eyes. If the Fifth Prince is truly as rumored, that he has no favoritism towards Zixuan, then the child would not have met Zixuan by the moat tonight. Father must know this is the second time the child has met her by the moat. Last time she almost got killed, and this time, although the child doesn't yet know what inhumane torture she suffered, her appearance, I believe Father also saw it."

"You..."

"Father, how can a man who can't even protect his own wife be worthy of respect! Father, I know you want me to send Zixuan back to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, but I have to tell you, I won't send him back. Because he is unworthy of Zixuan, and he doesn't deserve to possess Zixuan!"

In the locked room, Chen Zixuan heard Su Wenhao's heartfelt words, and her eyes welled up with emotion... If there was no Yunjie, perhaps she would like Su Wenhao Such a warm and jade-like man who thinks of you from the bottom of his heart is so rare... Unfortunately, the world is full of ifs and maybes...

"You disobedient son, are you trying to drive your old father to death with anger"

“Father! The child has confidence not to…”

"Confidence Where does your confidence come from And where does your capital come from The Su family Hmph... Do you intend to drag the entire Su family down with you! Have some heart, would you!"

"Father..."

“Don’t say any more, let me ask you. Do you know that in this world, only this woman is immune to the Fifth Prince's poison You should know. Since your heart is as clear as a mirror, you must know that in order for the Fifth Prince to have an heir, the Emperor and Empress Dowager Ying will try to match him with this woman. Why are you so stubborn Or do you want the Su family and the entire royal family to be your enemies!”

"Just because he won't be poisoned by the Fifth Prince, so Jianxuan has to be forced to be with him That's too ridiculous!" Su Wenhao let out a sneer, his voice also becoming agitated, "Father, if you're afraid of being implicated, you can expel me from the Su family roster. Then I'll take Jianxuan to live in seclusion in the mountains and will definitely not cause any trouble for you!"

"You...cough, cough..." The head of the Su family coughed violently, he must have been quite angry.

"Father, father, are you alright Father, drink some water..."

"Wenhao, do you know how much effort your father put into getting you to where you are now"

"My child knows, thank you father for your careful cultivation..."

"Cultivating you with such care... Haha..." The head of the Su family laughed loudly, "Since you know that your father has always cultivated you so carefully, then you should know how to repay him! Not to mention how much your father hopes for you, just saying your mother, she paid so much to get you on the position of head of the family!"

"Father...child unfilial..."

"You are unfilial! If you won't be the head of the family, then our direct line will have to cultivate the next future head. It will take another decade or so, and how many changes can you predict in that time If the fourth brother knew about your situation, he would definitely try to eliminate you completely. He wouldn't give me time to cultivate the next head of the family. Didn't you think of this"

"Father..."

"A literary genius…The direct descendants of the Su family are never allowed to have true feelings or genuine emotions. Otherwise, they will be trampled underfoot by their own kin and live worse than insects. Don't you know that"

"I..."

As if knowing what Su Wenhao would say, the head of the Su family directly interrupted him: "You don't need to tell your father that you can endure those hardships. Then I ask you, since you say that the Fifth Prince is not worthy of Miss Chen, then what about you who was expelled from the Su family Being expelled from the Su family, what do you have to support her Do you want her to be exposed"

“This… naturally wouldn't… I…”

"Besides, the competition between direct and collateral branches has always been fierce. You've seen it your whole life, but Miss Chen is different. She hasn't experienced any of this. Do you have the heart to let her go through it with you"

"Child…"

“I think you should know Lao Si’s style well. If he knows about your situation, that you've been expelled from the Su family, he will definitely send people to silence you, leaving no room for trouble. What will you do then You have martial arts skills, so you might be able to fight back, but what about Miss Chen Are you going to let her live a life on the edge of a knife like you”

"I..." Su Wenhao's voice grew lower and lower.

“You can’t guarantee her a wealthy life, and maybe she’ll still be with you. But if you can’t guarantee her safety, how sure are you that she’ll stay By then, she’ll be tied to you, and if she leaves, she’ll surely die. The fourth brother won’t let her go. Even if she doesn’t leave, can you guarantee that you can protect her every moment Moreover, if you have children, they won’t even be able to enter the Su family’s genealogy. Children without identity and recognition will not be accepted. If he grows up wanting to serve in the court, the imperial family won’t agree. If he wants to do business, the Su family won’t spare him… Have you thought about all these things Wenhao, if you truly love her, let her go…”

"But...father..." Su Wenhao's voice was filled with endless pain, "Child...can't do it...child doesn't want to watch her being bullied and unable to do anything for her..."

"Why can't you do anything for her If you want to protect her, there's only one thing you can do..."

"Father, please show your child the way!"

"Be the head of the Su family!" The head of the Su family stated these five words resolutely.

"Father...the child doesn't want to force the father from his position as head of the family..."

“No, you can only take over the power besides what the head of the Su family should have after you drive me down from my position as the head…”

"Any forces outside the family"

“Yes, these people are the most solid and hidden force cultivated by the Su family for hundreds of years. Even my father only learned about this recently. This force chooses which master to pledge allegiance to on their own. If the master doesn't meet their requirements, they won't reveal their identity. If they do, they will provide you with any help you need... These forces will definitely add wings to your tiger..."

"But father, Wenhao can't be sure he will meet their requirements."

"Yes, but if you're not the head of the family, you'll never have a chance to access this part of the power. Wenhao, you only need to be strong enough to protect those you want to protect. Only then can your marriage be your own decision and not be used to consolidate the Su family's power…"

"Father…"

"Master Wen, you can only intimidate the collateral branches of Old Four by ousting me as the head of the family. Only then can you subdue the power of the head of the family in the shortest time. Master Wen, although Prince Rui Tianwang has a good reputation among scholars, it's just a reputation among scholars and is not very useful. Only by becoming the head of the Su family can you do what you want to do. At that time, your father will definitely no longer stop you..."

The room was silent. Su Wenhao stood on one side, his head bowed, a look of pain on his face...

In the locked room, Chen Zixuan closed her eyes, hearing this, her heart was filled with mixed emotions... The esteemed Royal Prince has to enter a Chancellor's Mansion and is being obstructed by you all. How many heads do you have that you dare to obstruct the Sixth Royal Prince” Chen Zixuan exuded domin...
