Seeing that Su Qianxi still looked indifferent, Su Yuqian sighed, with a bit of hatred in his warm eyes.
"Even if you don't care what outsiders think of you, what about the regent?"
"When a woman gets married, her natal family is her lifelong support and escape route. If you and the Su family are not in harmony, the regent will look down on you even if he does not need the support of the Su family. Is this the result you want?"
"Ha ha--"
It's okay if Su Yuqian didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Su Qianxi laughed directly.
That smile as clear as a silver bell contained an unconcealable coldness and sarcasm.
"It turns out you also know that a woman's mother's family is a woman's source of strength and retreat. I thought you didn't know."
"What are you laughing at? I mean what I say, you..."
Looking at Su Qianxi who was laughing to herself as if she had told a ridiculous joke, Su Yuqian had a bad feeling in his heart.
Su Qianxi interrupted Su Yuqian's words in a cold voice and asked, "Why weren't you at home when I came home from three dynasties?"
"I...I had something to deal with at the time."
Su Yuqian was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a moment before answering.
"What is so important, a matter of court or a matter of life and death?"
Su Qianxi looked at Su Yuqian with a half-smile, the coldness in her eyes had turned into ice.
Among the people in the Su family in her previous life, apart from Mrs. Su, her favorite person was Su Yuqian.
Because he never showed the slightest bit of malice toward her, and most of the time he was gentle and polite to her, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
Compared to the indifferent or mocking faces of other people in the Su family, it is normal for her to prefer Su Yuqian.
But it was only when she died that she understood that Su Yuqian was gentle to her, not because he treated her as his own sister, but because Su Yuqian's character was like this.
Even if he is treating a random stranger on the roadside, he is still gentle.
She just thought that there were still people in the Su family who sincerely accepted her.
That's why in order to integrate into that family, she never complained even if she was ridiculed or ignored. She always thought in her heart that as long as she worked harder, they would definitely accept her.
But in the Su family, no one would believe that the reason why she stayed in the Su family was because she longed for family affection.
Whenever she was heartbroken by her family's indifference and wanted to leave, Su Ruowei would encourage her after noticing her thoughts and let her regain hope.
Of course, Su Ruowei didn't mean well. Su Ruowei was just afraid that if she left, people in the Su family might feel guilty because of her departure, which would shake Su Ruowei's position in the Su family.
But her decision to stay with the Su family fell in the eyes of the Su family. She was treated so indifferently by them and never wanted to leave. She must be coveting the glory and wealth of the Su family.
They were not afraid that they would be angry or make trouble at all, because they would have nothing if she left the Su family. They all felt that they had a tight hold on her, so they were unscrupulous and felt that she should compromise.
Now she wants to understand that in the eyes of the Su family, she has no foundation and no confidence to make trouble with the Su family, so anyone in the Su family can make trouble for her.
Each of them knew very well that she would resent the fact that Su Ruowei had occupied her identity for many years and enjoyed happiness for her, but they still insisted on keeping Su Ruowei and treated Su Ruowei as always, or even better.
But everything was different now. She seized the opportunity and got Mo Zechen's promise.
Now everyone in the capital knows that she, Su Qianxi, is the person protected by the regent. She is the regent's concubine, and she is a being that most people want to please.
So even if she is arrogant and aggressive, whether it is Mrs. Su or Su Honghe, even if she is so angry that she is itchy, who would dare to think of making her kneel down, copying books and starve like before?
"If it weren't for these things, I really can't think of anything else that is as important as your sister returning home three times."
Su Qianxi looked at Su Yuqian with sarcastic eyes.
"Since you know that your natal family is the foundation for a married woman, you wouldn't know that returning home after three dynasties is not just a matter of the son-in-law returning to the bride's family with gifts and visiting his wife's parents and elders."
On the surface, returning home after three dynasties is just for the woman to take her son-in-law back to her parents' home to get to know each other and talk to each other, but there is an unwritten rule in this.
That is, the elders and brothers of the woman's family will give the man a show of strength on this day, letting the man know that the woman is also extremely favored at home.
If the man dares to bully the woman in the future, they will definitely not let him off lightly.
But that day, she didn't have any family members to support her. Instead, Su's father ordered his servants to take her to the ancestral hall to kneel down and scold her. No one in the world was more ridiculous than the day she returned home from three dynasties.
"From the time I married Mo Zechen, in your heart I was the evil person who stole Su Ruowei's good relationship. Maybe you once regarded me as your sister for a moment, but after that day, that person was so weak that you could hardly see it. Family love has long since evaporated.”
"So there is no need for you to say in front of me that we are a family, and the Su family is my lifelong support and retreat. This sentence is too ridiculous."
"You can't even fool yourself with these words. Why do you think I'm stupid enough to believe what you say?"
Su Qianxi's voice was so calm that there was no fluctuation at all. She was just stating a fact indifferently.
A fact that everyone can see, but some people always like to act blind and pretend not to see it.
"Since you chose to embarrass me on the day of Sanchao's return and don't want to support me as my brother, don't claim to be my brother in the future. After all, in your heart, your sister is someone else."
"And I-I have long stopped caring about things given by others."
"Are you going to sever ties with the Su family?"
Su Yuqian frowned, and only now did he clearly notice that Su Qianxi's eyes were cold from beginning to end when she looked at him.
There was no longer the admiration and intimacy in her eyes that she had when she looked at him before.
Although Su Qianxi was right in front of him, he felt inexplicably that there were thousands of mountains and oceans between them, and they would never be able to go back to the past.
"Don't you always say that I am not worthy of being a member of your Su family?"
Su Qianxi chuckled and asked, "Now that I have fulfilled your wish, shouldn't you be happy?"
Su Yuqian frowned and reminded, "Not to mention that you have to cut off contact with your family now that you have become the regent princess. What kind of criticism will this matter cause in the capital if word spreads about it? Even the clan elders and others will not agree to this. Things happen.”
