Every word she spoke was considerate of the Marquis’s Manor and aimed to ease Su Dingheng’s worries.
Su Dingheng found it hard not to cherish her.
Su Yingxue’s eyes sparkled, and she stepped forward to persuade, “Father, even though 1 can’t change my address to Aunt Liu for now, since she’s already married into the Marquis’s Manor, why don’t you temporarily delegate the stewardship to her? It will also help console her.”
Su Yingxue’s gaze was gentle as she smiled at Liu Shulan.

Su Dingheng felt somewhat conflicted. “This might indeed console Lan’er, but she doesn’t even have a formal status right now. How can she manage the household?”
Ignoring the potential resistance from the Marquis’s Manor’s staff, such a situation becoming known outside would be a source of mockery.
“I… I didn’t consider things thoroughly, Father,” Su Yingxue said apologetically.
“Eldest Young Miss is being too humble. Eldest Young Miss possesses both virtue and talent, and she is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Manor. Since Marquis is occupied with state affairs, it’s only proper to entrust the stewardship to Eldest Young Miss!” Liu Shulan earnestly stated.
“Mother! Are you out of your mind? Allowing her to manage the household, the two of us…”
Su Yurou was about to speak, implying that they would be in grave danger under Su Yingxue’s control.
Liu Shulan’s icy glare immediately silenced her, forcing Su Yurou to swallow her words and sulk silently to the side.
Su Dingheng glanced at Su Yingxue. Her capability in managing the medical clinic was well-known, and her reputation had changed significantly. Even the emperor favored her. Letting her handle the affairs of the Marquis’s Manor was the best choice.
However, he couldn’t forget that Su Yingxue was a headstrong individual.
Once he handed over power to her, would she eventually overthrow him, even as her father?
“Father, 1 lack knowledge and experience, and 1 may not be able to manage the Marquis’s Manor well.” Su Yingxue shook her head, appearing disinterested in the authority.
This made Su Dingheng less worried.
He thought that after taking in Liu Shulan and continuing to manage household matters himself, he would become a laughingstock. Moreover, Su Yingxue was at the age of marriage. Could she still control the Marquis’s Manor after getting married?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter considering this, Su Dingheng made a decision. “Yingxue, I’ll leave the affairs of the Marquis’s Manor to you for the time being. Here’s the token, use it to manage things. Be diligent and don’t take things lightly. If you mishandle matters, I won’t hesitate to punish you severely.”
He emphasized his words to prevent Su Yingxue from acting recklessly.
Moreover, the stewardship was handled by a pair of tokens, and he had only given her one, so her authority wouldn’t be too extensive.
Su Yingxue accepted the token with a troubled expression, saying, “I will do my best.”
“Very well, don’t let me down. I’m entrusting the arrangements for your aunt to you. Ensure she is treated well.” Su Dingheng stressed this point.
Su Yingxue also promised solemnly, “I will carefully choose the best residence within the Marquis’s Manor for Aunt… 1 mean, for Lady Liu.”
Su Yingxue covered her mouth, feigning innocence.
Liu Shulan maintained a smile on the surface, but beneath her sleeves, her fists were clenched tightly.
As she returned to her courtyard, Su Yingxue hummed a little tune.
Zhilan served by her side, her smile equally radiant. “Miss, you are truly amazing! 1 could see Lady Liu’s struggle in her expression today.. She must have been clenching her grip so hard under her sleeves!”
