Sure enough, when Su Huaiyang heard Liu Ruyan's words, his face became even gloomier, and his eyes were obviously filled with jealousy and unwillingness.

"Hmph, he's just a little bastard without a father or mother, and he dares to compete with my daughter? It's just a pipe dream." Su Huaiyang's tone was full of contempt. In his opinion, Su Huaijin was missing, Yun Ruopiao was stupid, and the siblings Su Qingning and Su Qingyu were no different from children without a father or mother.

Su Jingya, who was standing by, heard her parents' conversation and showed a look of contempt on her face. She expressed disdain for her grandfather and the elders pinning their hopes of becoming a summoner on Su Qingning.

At the same time, because of this incident, Su Jingya, who already disliked Su Qingning, felt even more disgusted and jealous towards her.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I will definitely become a summoner before that bitch Su Qingning." Su Jingya raised her chin proudly and said confidently, "The family trial will begin in three months. By then, I will definitely successfully contract with Suzaku and become the young master of the Su family."

Humph, Su Qingning, after I contract with Suzaku, I will definitely trample you under my feet and torture you ruthlessly, making your life worse than death! Su Jingya thought viciously.

"Okay, you are worthy of being my good daughter. I believe you will be able to contract with Suzaku and successfully inherit the Su family. I have confidence in you." Su Huaiyang patted Su Jingya's shoulder with satisfaction, and couldn't help but imagine the scene of himself taking charge of the Su family in the future.

However, Su Huaiyang's daydream had just begun when a thin figure slowly came into view. The appearance of Su Qingning reminded Su Huaiyang of the days when he was suppressed by Su Huaijin. It also directly broke his fantasy and brought him back to reality.

"Qingning greets my uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, fourth uncle and fourth aunt." Su Qingning leaned forward slightly and politely saluted the elders.

Su Huaichuan, Shen Rou, Su Huaiming and Yang Xinyi were quite friendly towards Su Qingning. They smiled and nodded in response. However, before they could ask Su Qingning to stand up, Su Huaiyang's sarcastic voice was heard in the air.

"Oh, Third Girl, you really made us wait!" Su Huaiyang glanced at Su Qingning with contempt and said sarcastically, "You are so arrogant that you made so many of us wait for you. Do you still have any respect for us elders? Do you still know the difference between seniority and inferiority?"

Su Qingning knew that Su Huaiyang disliked their family, so she was not surprised that he attacked her in public.

"I'm sorry, Second Uncle, it's Qingning who kept you waiting." Su Qingning lowered her head, hiding the coldness in her eyes. She pretended to be sensible and aggrieved, and quietly defended herself, "But Qingning didn't mean to keep you waiting. The housekeeper only told Qingning that she would be attending the palace banquet with her eldest uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle tonight, but she didn't tell Qingning when to leave."

"Okay, you don't have to make excuses." Su Huaiyang stood straight, with his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised, looking down at Su Qingning with a condescending attitude.

"Alas, actually, Second Uncle understands everything." Su Huaiyang looked at Su Qingning with eyes full of disdain and contempt. He sighed pretentiously and said with a regretful tone: "Your father has been missing for so many years. You have lacked his care and teachings since you were a child. And your mother is mentally ill. How can she, a fool, know how to educate a child! So, you can't be blamed for all this, and Second Uncle shouldn't blame you for not knowing etiquette. It's because no one taught you!"

What Su Huaiyang said seemed to express sympathy for Su Qingning, but in fact it was full of sarcasm and belittlement.

Su Qingning stood there quietly, her fists clenched, her lowered eyes filled with anger and cold murderous intent. She suppressed the urge to kill and pretended to be humiliated and wronged.

"Second uncle, you can look down on me and belittle me, but please respect my mother and don't humiliate her."

Su Qingning raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. Her look of pretending to be strong as she spoke up for her mother was truly heartbreaking.

Su Huaichuan was the first one who couldn't stand it any longer. He couldn't help but stand up and accuse her, "Second brother, Qing Ning is just a child. Don't you think what you just said was too serious and too much?"

Looking at Su Huaichuan's condemning look, Su Huaiyang was really surprised. He didn't expect that his elder brother, who always chose to be an invisible person and had little presence, would stand up for Su Qingning.

However, that's not all. How could Su Huaiming, who has always been against Su Huaiyang, miss this opportunity to make the other party unhappy!

"That's right, second brother..." Su Huaiming dragged out his tone and sneered, "Ning girl is just a child. As an elder, how can you be so sarcastic and say such harsh words to embarrass her! You are being too unkind and really don't behave like an elder."

Su Huaiyang never thought that Su Qingning, a helpless little girl, could easily sow discord between the brothers and make his eldest brother, who always didn't care about anything, and his fourth brother, who was always timid and fearful, stand up for her.

However, Su Huaiyang could swallow his anger and not contradict Su Huaichuan because he was his elder brother; but he did not have such a good temper to swallow his anger for Su Huaiming, who always opposed him.

"Fourth brother, there's no one to teach the third girl. Don't you have any..."

"Shut up!"

Before Su Huaiyang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Huaichuan's cold shout.

"Second brother, you should think carefully before you say something. You should know what to say and what not to say. You are so smart, you don't need me, your eldest brother, to teach you!" Su Huaichuan glared at Su Huaiyang coldly. This was the first time he scolded his younger brother as the eldest brother.

Su Huaiyang felt embarrassed to be scolded in public by Su Huaichuan, but he also realized that he almost said the wrong thing just now. Su Huaijin was missing and Yun Ruopiao was stupid, so he could say that Su Qingning had no one to teach her.

But Su Huaiming is his biological brother, and their father is still alive. If he says that Su Huaiming has no one to teach him, wouldn’t that be a roundabout way of scolding their father Su Qingcang?

"Yes, brother, I know I was wrong." Since he had said the wrong thing, Su Huaiyang could only admit his mistake with a serious face.

Seeing Su Huaiyang being humiliated, Su Huaiming showed a gloating expression on his face. He opened his mouth and was about to make a few sarcastic remarks. However, before he could open his mouth, Su Huaichuan spoke first.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the palace!" Su Huaichuan said, then turned his head to look at Su Qingning and said softly: "Qingning, just ride in a carriage with me and your aunt!"

"Yes, thank you, uncle."

Su Qingning thanked them obediently, then followed Su Huaichuan and Shen Rou into the first carriage.

However, no one noticed that when Su Qingning passed by Su Huaiyang, she gently shook her sleeves and sprinkled some unknown medicinal powder on Su Huaiyang.
