The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Su Qingning had already started preparing for the plan to destroy the Tiandao Sect five years ago; however, although the Dark Pavilion had greatly increased in strength, it had too few people compared to the Tiandao Sect.

The Su family was lucky to have survived this disaster without being destroyed. How could they possibly fight against the Tiandao Sect again?

Thinking of this, Su Qingning couldn't help but frown slightly. It seemed that she had to have a good talk with the emperor and the heads of the other four major families.

"Knock Knock Knock..."

There was a knock on the door outside the study. Su Qingning collected her thoughts, raised her eyes and looked at the closed door indifferently, and said with a soft red lips, "Come in."

"Squeak~" The door of the study was pushed open and a tall figure walked in.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Su Qingning quickly stood up, walked around behind the desk, and helped Su Qingcang sit down on the chair beside him.

"I have something I want to discuss with you." Su Qingcang said in a gentle tone.

Since stepping down as the head of the family, Su Qingcang's aura has become less fierce, and his face is not as stern as before, but more gentle and kind.

"Hmm? Grandpa, what does he want to say?" Su Qingning asked.

Su Qingcang stared at Su Qingning's face quietly, with a hint of complexity and longing in his eyes, as if he was thinking of another person through Su Qingning.

As for who this person is, Su Qingning already has the answer in her mind. Who else could it be except her father whose life or death is unknown?

"Grandpa?" Su Qingning called softly.

"Ah?" Su Qingcang came back to his senses, a flash of sadness in his eyes, which he quickly covered up with a smile.

"Alas! When you get old, your mind wanders easily." Su Qingcang explained as if to cover up his mistake. Then, he looked at Su Qingning again and spoke gently about the purpose of his visit. "Ning girl, since you have taken over the Su family now, why don't we hold a banquet and invite all the major families to officially announce your status as the head of the Su family."

Hearing this, Su Qingning was stunned for a moment. She had been thinking about what reason to use to invite the heads of the four major families out. Now that her grandfather had found a reason for her, Su Qingning naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.

"Okay, let's do as you say, Grandpa." Su Qingning nodded in agreement and said, "Grandpa, which families should we invite to the banquet? Ask the housekeeper to make a list for me, and then I'll have someone make custom invitations and send them to each family."

"No need to go through so much trouble. I've already made the list." Su Qingcang said, taking out a folded piece of paper from his arms and handing it to Su Qingning.

Su Qingning took it, opened it and took a look. In addition to the four major families that were as famous as the Su family, Su Qingcang also listed some small and medium-sized families in the imperial capital, as well as the royal family.

Seeing that everyone who needed to be invited had been invited, Su Qingning said nothing more. She put the list away, nodded at Su Qingcang and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll have someone prepare the invitations and send them to the major families later."

Su Qingning paused and asked, "Grandpa, how about setting the banquet time for five days later?"

"Five days later?" Su Qingcang calculated the time and said hesitantly, "Isn't that the Little New Year?"

"Yes, it's Xiaonian." Su Qingning nodded and asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?"

Su Qingcang shook his head, his face showing a bit of sadness and loneliness, "Nothing, I'm fine."

There was indeed nothing wrong with Xiaonian. He just suddenly remembered that that day was Su Huaiyang's birthday. It was a pity that this son was gone, and of his five sons, only two were left.

Afterwards, Su Qingcang chatted with Su Qingning for a few more words and then got up and left.

After seeing Su Qingcang off, Su Qingning hadn't been quiet for a while when the study door was knocked again.

She raised her head, her expression somewhat helpless, "Come in."

"Squeak~" The door was pushed open again, and this time a pair of twins came in.

"Third sister~" Su Muxin and Su Muzhe shouted happily. Looking at their excited expressions, they seemed to want to rush over and hang on Su Qingning.

"Xiao Xin, Xiao Ze," Su Qingning's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw the newcomers. She asked, "When did you come back?"

"I came back today." Su Muzhe said, "As soon as I came back, I heard that something big happened in the Su family."

At this point, Su Muze looked at Su Qingning with a bit of resentment in his eyes, "Third sister, if you want to come back, why don't you call us to come with you?"

"That's right." Su Muxin also looked at Su Qingning with the same sad eyes, and she said regretfully: "What a pity, I didn't get to see Su Jingya go to hell with my own eyes."

"I'm so sorry she didn't make it to Hell."

A faint voice reached their ears, and Su Muxin and Su Muzhe were both stunned. They stared at Su Qingning blankly and uttered a puzzled sound, "Huh?"

Seeing the two people's stunned expressions, Su Qingning felt a little amused and explained with rare patience: "Su Jingya has been burned to ashes by me with the Vermillion Bird Fire."

As if worried that the siblings didn't understand what she meant, Su Qingning kindly added, "Suzaku Fire is a divine fire that can devour souls."

Um? ? ? ! ! !

Su Muxin and Su Muzhe were confused at first, then their eyes suddenly widened, their eyes filled with undisguised shock and joy.

"Third sister, what you mean is... yes..." Su Muxin was a little excited. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down a little and not got too excited.

"Third sister, are you saying that Su Jingya's soul was devoured by the Vermillion Bird Fire? She has completely disappeared from this world, right?" Su Muzhe asked expectantly.

Looking at the siblings' expectant eyes, Su Qingning nodded gently and gave them a positive answer, "Yes, her soul has been scattered and completely disappeared."

"Yeah! That's great!" Su Muxin and Su Muzhe jumped up excitedly. They were so happy about the news.

It has to be said that Su Jingya's life in the Su family was a complete failure. Except for her parents, no one seemed to be sad about her death; even her brothers and sisters wanted to kill her with their own hands; even her younger brother Su Jingxuan was indifferent to her death.

"By the way, the Su family is holding a banquet in a few days to announce my succession as patriarch. I will invite everyone from all the major families in the imperial capital to attend." Su Qingning suddenly changed the subject. She looked at Su Muxin and Su Muzhe and asked meaningfully, "Do you have anyone you'd like to invite? For example, the Xiao family and the Ning family."

Upon hearing this, Su Muxin and Su Muzhe looked at each other, and a blush appeared on their faces at the same time.

"Well... Third sister, you just make the decision. You don't have to ask for our opinions." The brother and sister said a little uncomfortably.

"Oh? Really?" Su Qingning looked meaningfully at the two people who suddenly became shy, and said deliberately: "In that case, then don't invite them!"
