After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

It was seen that the three of them were not listening to Su Ruoxi's words seriously at all, and had already begun to discuss what delicious food to cook in the kitchen later.

Liu Rumei stood up, her eyes showing anticipation. She had worked hard to raise Su Ruoxi, and finally waited for the day when she would become majestic.

"My daughter, you are indeed the pride of your mother."

As she spoke, she was about to cry.

"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry!" Su Ruoxi was so angry that she didn't know where to vent her anger. She pointed at Liu Rumei beside her and said, "You haven't held the Su Mansion in your hands in these days!"

The Su Ruoxi in front of her looked so bitter and did not hide it at all. She almost didn't recognize the daughter in front of her and said in disappointment: "Is this how you talk to your mother?"

Su Ruoxi realized that she was out of control, and her tone softened slightly: "I'm just a little tired recently."

Liu Rumei naturally knew that it would be difficult for her to be in the palace, but when she thought that instead of being Su Qingcheng's aunt who had to deal with everything in the Su family, she might as well go to the palace to be a glorious elder.

She comforted her gently: "It's okay, mother will go to the palace to help you."

Su Ruoxi nodded helplessly. At this point, she could only take Liu Rumei back to the palace.

Su Qingcang and the other two people who had already entered the Su Mansion walked to the pavilion by the pond.

The kitchen is still preparing dishes, and the three of them are sitting at the stone table, enjoying tea and watching fish.

Su Qingcang suddenly became interested, picked up the chess set aside, spread it out, and warmly invited: "Come, son-in-law, play a game of chess with me."

Ye Tantai didn't hesitate and accepted it happily.

Su Qingcheng was watching the game while making tea. The autumn breeze was blowing, and the scene was extremely warm.

"With Aunt Liu gone, won't it be too empty for dad to be alone in the house?" Su Qingcheng said.

Ye Tantai also answered: "Why don't you come to the palace to stay for a few days?"

"Hahaha, I appreciate your kindness. As I get older, I like to be clean. I don't want anyone in the house." Su Qingcang dropped a sunspot and chatted with the two of them.

Su Qingcheng smiled happily. She still heard that her father was dissing Liu Rumei's mother and daughter for being noisy, but she didn't expect that Ye Tantai would ask him to come to the palace.

She cast her eyes on the chess game on the table. Ye Tantai was holding the black piece. It seemed that he was being beaten by the white piece. In fact, the layout was perfect and he was making every move. Su Qingcang, who was holding the white piece, was immersed in the illusion that he was about to win and did not notice it. Hidden meaning.

Su Qingcang's expression became more and more excited, and he couldn't help but show off: "Son-in-law, be careful, I'm about to win."

Ye Tantai just smiled and said nothing. He steadily laid out his trap.

"Dad, why are there so many goldfish gathered on the east side of the pond?"

As soon as Su Qingcheng said these words, the two of them looked to the east of the pond.

Ye Tantai immediately understood what she meant and smiled fondly: "Is this considered an off-site suggestion?"

Su Qingcang glanced at the goldfish on the east side of the pond, then returned to the chess game on the table, laughing loudly: "What's the point? My son-in-law is too sensitive."

Su Qingcheng also looked innocent, as if she didn't understand Ye Tantai's words, and said, "What?"

"Nothing, let's continue." Ye Tantai smiled and said nothing.

Afterwards, everyone's attention returned to the chess game. Su Qingcang changed his strategy and chose a conservative style of play, retreating from Ye Tantai's layout on the east side of the chessboard.

For half an hour, the two of them went back and forth. Several times when Su Qingcang got carried away and was about to fall into Ye Tantai's trap, Su Qingcheng would use the fish in the pond to remind him.

Then he pretended not to know anything and continued to pour tea for the two of them.

In the end, the chessboard was full without even realizing it.

"A draw." Su Qingcheng said calmly, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Su Qingcang put the chess pieces back into the box with a big wave of his hand and said with great joy, "My son-in-law is very good at chess, just like me."

"Tantai is willing to give in." Although Ye Tantai had already seen through Su Qingcheng's tricks, he didn't care at all. He even thought it was cute when he saw her pretending to be casual every time.

"The food has been prepared in the kitchen, let them bring it to you." Su Qingcheng said.

Ye Tantai stood up and put away the chessboard. Su Qingcang looked at the two busy figures with relief in his eyes.

After lighting a stick of incense, the table was filled with various dishes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about the same, Su Qingcheng went straight to the point and asked, "What does dad think of Qingshui City's errands?"

"Ah? Qingshui City, that's a good place, with high mountains and clear water." Su Qingcang obviously didn't understand what she meant, and answered while chewing the delicious food in his mouth.

"If your Majesty asks Daddy to go, will Daddy go?" Su Qingcheng asked tentatively.

Su Qingcang said without hesitation: "The Holy Spirit's wishes will naturally be followed."

Su Qingcheng's heart sank. She naturally knew her father's character. Even if he was framed in his previous life, he had the opportunity to escape with the entire Su family, but in order not to betray Nan Ye, he was beheaded on an unfounded charge...

She suddenly became discouraged. If she rashly told him not to go to Qingshui City and refused the job no matter what the Holy One said, he must not be able to understand it.

In this case, let me, the daughter, guard the Su family for my father.

"That's... very good, but if the Holy One doesn't take the initiative to ask dad, dad shouldn't take the initiative to ask for orders. Qingshui City is far away, and my daughter will be worried."

Su Qingcang didn't know what decisions his daughter had made for him, so he just thought it was the younger daughter acting coquettishly: "No problem."

Ye Tantai's expression darkened. He understood the purpose of Su Qingcheng's trip, and he could see the current situation clearly.

This woman has to shoulder the burden on herself again...

"Father-in-law, please forgive Tantai for saying more." Ye Tantai's expression was a little serious, and he put down the chopsticks in his hands.

Su Qingcang naturally sensed his seriousness, so he put down his chopsticks and listened. However, Su Qingcheng reached out and pulled Ye Tantai's sleeve, trying to stop him.

Ye Tantai held Su Qingcheng's hand in his backhand, looked directly at Su Qingcang and said: "This trip, even if the Holy Emperor is tempted, I hope my father-in-law will refuse. The depth of the water in Qingshui City is not a simple inspection."

Su Qingcang frowned. He had dedicated his life to Nanye. Although he also felt that the inexplicable prophecy was not credible, as long as the emperor gave the order, he would lead troops to Qingshui City just for the well-being of the people.

"Qingshui City is a big pie, and it involves too many people and things. If my father-in-law goes there rashly, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Son-in-law, are you asking me to... resist the decree?" Su Qingcang's face was solemn, and his brows were already furrowed.

Ye Tantai did not answer this question directly, but instead analyzed the current situation in Nanye: "Of all the people who are still in Nanye now, only the Su and Xie families still have their former glory, but I think my father-in-law also knows that after all these years The Holy One has been suppressed many times, both covertly and openly."
