Happy Palm: The War King's Favored Little Doctor Consort

Chapter 28 Father and Daughter Confrontation

Concubine Liu was under house arrest, and Prime Minister Su had not visited her for several days. Concubine Liu's maid would hang around outside Prime Minister Su's study every day.

When Prime Minister Su appeared in Liuli Pavilion, Su Qingli greeted him with a smile, as if she had expected it.

"Father."

Su Xiang looked at Su Qingli, who was so graceful in front of him, as if he was looking at someone else through her.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, father. I'm much better now." Su Qingli glanced at the sky. "I made some home-cooked dishes. Father, please try some of my cooking."

"Okay." Su Xiang had something on his mind, so he stayed to have dinner together. When he saw the delicious home-cooked dishes on the table, his eyes looking at Su Qingli became even darker.

While eating, Su Xiang asked slowly, "Why did you cancel your engagement with Prince Zhao?"

Su Qingli's expression changed slightly. He was indeed the prime minister of a dynasty. He had actually waited until now to ask.

"Father, it's not that I want to cancel this marriage." Su Qingli lowered her head and said, "I have no choice but to cancel it."

"Why?" Su Xiang observed Su Qingli's expression while eating.

"Father, how do you think His Majesty is doing?"

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life and in good health."

"Prince Zhao and the Third Prince have close ties. I'm worried that if this marriage goes through, my father will be implicated by me." Su Qingli looked a little sad. "I like Prince Zhao, but for my father and the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have no choice but to sever the ties."

Prime Minister Su narrowed his eyes slightly. He thought that Su Qingli was taking revenge on him for ignoring her and on Prince Zhao's indifference. He never thought that Su Qingli broke off the engagement because Prince Zhao had close contacts with the third prince!

Prime Minister Su immediately thought of the horse whip given to him by the emperor. He was afraid that His Majesty had long known that the Prince Zhao's Mansion had close contacts with the Third Prince, so he gave him the horse whip to beat him.

"How did you discover that Prince Zhao and the Third Prince were so close?"

"My daughter once saw a beautiful dancer in Prince Zhao's palace. Now this dancer has become the third prince's favorite concubine."

"Just based on a dancer, you concluded that Prince Zhao and the Third Prince had close contacts?" Prime Minister Su narrowed his eyes slightly. This excuse could not convince him.

"More than that." Su Qingli twirled her sleeves, "My daughter has discovered many times that Prince Zhao and the Third Prince have private meetings."

Su Xiang chewed the food in his mouth slowly. He found that he really didn't understand his eldest daughter at all. On weekdays, she was timid and had no sense of existence at all.

When someone threatened the safety of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she dared to risk offending the royal family and decisively broke off the engagement with Prince Zhao. It would have been much better if she had been born a man with her personality.

"You are thoughtful." Su Xiang retracted his gaze, "Madam Liu is simple-minded. Your poisoning has nothing to do with her. Don't blame her."

"My daughter, please don't worry. Aunt Liu and I have no grudges against each other, so how could she poison me? Someone must be trying to stir up a fight in the prime minister's backyard to target my father."

Su Xiang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Su Qingli to say that. After a moment, he smiled and said, "You are still sensible."

"Father, since Concubine Liu has been wrongly accused, please lift the house arrest for Concubine Liu." Su Qingli said sympathetically.

Su Xiang relaxed completely. Although his daughter had some little thoughts, her nature was still very simple.

"Since you've pleaded for her, I'll go to Madam Liu's place later." Su Yu was very satisfied with his visit today. "By the way, you're going to be a virgin soon. Is there any gift you'd like?"

"My father still remembers my birthday. For me, this is the best gift."

"Tomorrow, go to the accounting office and withdraw five hundred taels of silver. Buy something you like for your coming-of-age ceremony."

"Thank you father."
