When Su Wei heard this, he smiled and took his leave.

Just after he departed, Zhifen, who was pouring water for Su Han, caught sight of him. Her eyes sparkled with hope. “Miss, look! Isn’t that person wearing armor from the General Manor? Could it be that they’ve come to rescue us, Miss?”

She was filled with excitement, tears almost welling up in her eyes as she looked at Su Han’s current suffering.

However, there was no light in Su Han’s eyes. She resembled a precious jade buried in the rubble, still mesmerizingly beautiful, yet shrouded in the darkness of the Regional Prince’s Mansion.

Zhifen, sent by Qin Wan to attend to Su Han, cried and choked out, “Miss, you were raised in the Marquis’s Manor since childhood, pampered and sheltered. When have you ever endured such hardship? Moreover, you’ve just undergone surgery, and your wounds haven’t even healed yet!”

After emptying the dirty water, Su Han’s lovely face remained indifferent. “Enough talk. Let’s get back to work.”

“Miss!” Zhifen anxiously stomped her foot, putting down the basin and moving to chase after Su Wei. She shouted after him, “Save Miss, General, please save

Miss!”

“Seize her for me!”

Chu Xiaotian waved his hand, and Zhilan was quickly apprehended and brought before him.

Chu Xiaotian’s typically refined face darkened. “Did Su Han instruct you to seek help?”

His menacing expression caused Zhifen to tremble involuntarily. She hurriedly shook her head. “No, Miss didn’t let me seek help! It’s just that 1 couldn’t bear to see Miss suffer…”

“Wretched servant!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Xiaotian forcefully kicked her, and then issued a cold command. “Men, take her out and sell her.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The steward came with his men to drag Zhifen away.

“Hold on!”

Su Han set the basin aside. Despite finishing her menial task, she still exuded the grace of a noblewoman before Chu Xiaotian.

Her voice rang out clear and firm. “Zhifen is my servant, a member of the Su family. Her indenture belongs to the Su family, and Your Highness has no authority to sell her.”

Su Han glanced at Zhifen and instructed, “Zhifen, rise. Let’s return to our duties.”

Zhifen wiped her tears, swallowing her grievances. She broke free from the steward’s grasp and complied, “Yes, Miss.”

“Su Han, halt right there!”

Chu Xiaotian grabbed her shoulder, yanking her towards him roughly. “Su Han, why do you pretend to be so noble? Weren’t you angry and resentful towards me? Let me tell you, that person who just left is a trusted aide of your grandfather from the Marquis’s Manor. Your grandfather sent him to inform me that in three days, I will escort you back to the Marquis’s Manor for a banquet. Your grandfather intends to reunite the family and subtly remind me to treat you well, isn’t that so?

Your Su family consists solely of military generals, and yet you think to prop yourself up and stand above me just because of your military achievements?”

Su Han knew she couldn’t break free from his grasp and chose not to argue. Instead, she remained composed and responded, “Your Highness, you’re mistaken. Grandfather has been away for a long time and simply wishes for a family reunion. If you don’t wish to attend, you needn’t.”

“Not attend? If 1 don’t attend, then I’ll send you back to your parents’ home to complain, and let your ruthless sister, Su Yingxue, attack the Regional Prince’s Mansion and cripple me, won’t I? With the added pressure from the Ninth Imperial Uncle, will your Su family then seek to dethrone me?” Chu Xiaotian’s words dripped with scorn.

Initially, Su Han had no intention of arguing with him, but seeing his persistence regarding the Su family, her delicate features turned icy. “It’s merely an invitation to a family banquet.. Why does Your Highness care so much? Are you torturing me, or are you torturing yourself?”
