"Father!" After returning home, Su's father ran to the old man's study first.

Old Master Su was just about to take care of official business, and was not surprised to see Father Su arrive. He waved his hand to signal Father Su to find a place to sit down first.

"Father!" Father Su said anxiously, "You have also seen His Majesty's attitude. Your Majesty, please pay more attention to Langlang now!"

"Minglang is indeed favored by the emperor now." The fact that Su Minglang is favored does not require Grandpa Su to pay much attention. "This time, whether it succeeds or not, Minglang has won honor for the Su family."

"Yes, yes!" Father Su looked proud. He paused and asked tentatively, "Then, what about my eldest brother's niece..."

Old Master Su glanced at him, knowing clearly why he came here. However, since Su Minglang had really done well, he didn't mind rewarding him. "Let's talk about Xinrong later."

"Oh! I understand my father!" After getting the answer he wanted, the man in his forties smiled and left happily.

Even though he usually doesn't pay much attention to Su Minglang, he is still his own child after all. It is better for his own child to reach a high position than for other people's children to get blessings.

What's more, although he has always had a higher status than his eldest brother in the court, in Mr. Su's heart, his eldest brother's status as the eldest son will always be indelible.

Even if the child of the second brother's family gains power, it can never be the child of the eldest brother's family!

Old Master Su looked at his back and sighed slightly. He had long known that the three brothers in his family were not in harmony with each other. However, the Su family was a family of military generals after all, and no one would ever care about brotherhood on the battlefield. So he let the three sons fight among themselves. Anyway, as long as it was beneficial to the Su family, it was fine.

His third son does have some talent in being an official, and he has also taught his girls very well. With Su Minglang's favor, his Su family will surely rise in the future, so it's okay to indulge him in some small things.

However, Su Minglang is not on good terms with the Su family at the moment. As her abilities grow, she may not be obedient in the future. Moreover, she has lost her fertility. Even if she is favored in the harem, she will not be able to take a single step without a son.

With this in mind, we still have to find someone to send to the palace as soon as possible!

As for Su Xinrong, she acted on her own at the last banquet and brought disgrace to the Su family. She can no longer be presented to the public.

"It seems that I have to choose one from the second son's family." Old Master Su pondered for a moment and made up his mind silently.

Su Minglang didn't know what the Su family was thinking about, or whether Xiao Heng's strange behavior made her more concerned. However, in comparison, Su Minglang hated herself more for not being able to stop being moved by Xiao Heng's sweet words.

After all, he was the person I truly loved with all my heart in my previous life. Even if I knew that he had done so many bad things, could I still not forget those feelings?

Su Minglang secretly spat at herself, she stroked her beating heart, feeling her own palpitations. Su Minglang did not allow herself to admit that she actually saw some truth in Xiao Heng's eyes.

Even the few bits of truth in it were enough to break down the wall of her heart that she had erected for so long.

The nightmares of the past replayed before his eyes over and over again. Su Minglang wanted to reach out and touch it but he could feel nothing.

She stood up suddenly and walked quickly to the door, and casually drew the iron sword of the gate guard. Before the two men could recover, one hand had already touched the sword.

"Hiss!" The iron blade was ruthless and didn't care about her current upset. Su Minglang looked at the blood oozing from her fingertips. The touch of the cold iron blade made her suddenly sober up, followed by that familiar feeling of suffocation.

The iron sword fell to the ground with a thud, waking up the astonished guards nearby. The two hesitated and dared not get close, but hurriedly put away their blades for fear that Su Minglang would use the same trick again when they were not paying attention.

Fortunately, Xiao Ye sensed that Su Minglang was not in a good mood, so he rushed out after her and quickly took out a handkerchief to stop the bleeding for her. "Imperial Physician! Go call the imperial physician!"

"No need!" Su Minglang spoke up to stop him, still looking a little dazed.

Su Minglang's mind gradually became clear. He smiled and waved at Xiaoye. The blood from the cut slowly stopped flowing. "Don't you still have some medicine left?"

Xiao Ye pulled her hand over and looked at it again and again. Seeing that the wound had indeed stopped bleeding, he gave up the idea of ​​calling the imperial physician. He dragged Su Minglang into the house in a bad mood, pushed him into a chair, and then went to look for medicine.

As Su Minglang expected, there was indeed some leftover medicine powder that had not been used up. Although it was not much, it was not a problem to deal with a small wound.

Xiao Ye carefully applied the medicine for her and found a piece of clean cloth to wrap it up. Just as Su Minglang was about to say that she didn't need it, she glared at him and he dared not speak.

Su Minglang pinched the bandaged area. She didn't feel any pain when the sharp blade passed by her just now, but now that the wound was bandaged, she felt a pain coming from her fingertips.

Su Minglang looked at her wrapped fingers and pinched them mercilessly with her fingernails. The pain brought her some clarity.

She had never been so grateful for the nightmares that haunted her as she was now. If it weren't for the pain of putting herself in others' shoes, Su Minglang was afraid that she would repeat the same mistake as in her previous life.

There is nothing in this world that can make her feel afraid, except for herself.

Seeing her self-harming actions, Xiao Ye pushed her hand away without thinking. Only after he did he realize how presumptuous his actions were, but he still stiffened his neck and sulked as if he was not convinced.

Su Minglang smiled but didn't blame her. She knew Xiaoye was only thinking about her own good. "Okay, I'm not angry anymore."

"I'm just curious and want to try it..."

Su Minglang wanted to find a reason for her sudden behavior, but after thinking about it, the reason she made up made her look like a fool.

As expected, Xiao Ye was full of doubts about her statement, but she did not question her to the end. Instead, she took her hand and said, "My lady, I don't know what happened to you recently. Suddenly, everything seems to have changed."

"But I know that you have things you want to do, so you don't have to explain everything to us. I hope you can cherish yourself more than those excuses you made up."

Su Minglang was slightly stunned when he heard what she said, but when he came to his senses, he held her hand and promised solemnly, "I will!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Ye smiled. She touched Su Minglang's fingertips and then let go.
