Chapter 52: I Have Been a Burden to My Husband!

Chapter 52: I Have Been a Burden to My Husband!

The two brothers talked for a long time, but Su Li was quite content in his heart. At least recognizing a relative wasnt violent, and it wasnt as difficult as he had anticipated. The two brothers didnt engage in unnecessary small talk when they parted ways.

The Su family had a small population, and Su Dingfang was now a fourth-rank general. Aside from his uncertain future, life was still passing by aligning with Su Lis mindset and his desire to continue living. When Su Dingfang met Su Li for the first time after their long separation, he stayed until dark before leaving.

After the confrontation with Su Dingfang, Su Li finally understood his own position. While he was unbeatable in one-on-one combat, he would still be at a disadvantage if he were surrounded by an army and forced to fight on all sides. It wasnt the time for him to act independently and become an ancestor. For now, he needed to persuade Li Er.

Dont worry. After all, hes my father-in-law. Its okay to back down a bit. Su Li said.

Night fell, and Su Li peacefully fell asleep with Princess Changle in his arms. However, Princess Changle couldnt find any rest as she experienced insomnia for the first time. She started worrying whether she was becoming a burden to Su Li. Although Su Dingfangs words contained some resentment, every word was filled with affection, which made Princess Changle consider Su Lis perspective.

She began to panic, wondering if there would come a day when she wouldnt wake up at all. Was her husband, Su Li, truly tired of her? After all, it had only been two months. How long could he endure for her? Didnt he want to continue the family line and carry on the familys legacy?

Various anxious thoughts swirled in Princess Changles mind.

As the saying goes, in front of a long-term sick bed, even the most respectful sons can hesitate.

However, Su Lis unwavering ability to be there for her every day, even as a female officer, was beyond reproach.

But what if I can never wake up? Princess Changle thought.

And so, Princess Changle remained restless until the sky turned white and a new day arrived. Finally, she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

Its a brand new day!

Furthermore, Su Li and Su Dingfang were brothers, adding another complexity layer. However, all of Su Dingfangs polite requests were politely rejected by Su Li.

It was a joke Without Princess Changle, what would he use to earn points? Should he rely on him?

Well, that might work My elder brother was the future Duke, and the points I could earn through physical contact with him would not be insignificant. But Do I really have to sleep with my own elder brother in the future just to earn points? The thought was terrifying.

Su Li could earn points with Changle 24 hours a day. Sleeping with my own elder brother Well Considering my elder brothers wholehearted love for his younger siblings, it might just play into Su Dingfangs hands. But lets just forget about it.

Su Li claimed to enjoy his current life very much. But Princess Changle could be said to be suffering greatly these days. In the past, she had indulged in Su Lis gentleness and care, fully enjoying his love. However, after being exposed by Su Dingfang, she realized she had deeply dragged Su Li down.

Especially after hearing Su Dingfangs high praise for Su Li on multiple occasions. Changle learned from Su Dingfang that Su Lis bravery was unmatched in the world and that his future was limitless. Even this fourth-ranked General was no match for her husband.

Changle was proud of her husband but also plagued by guilt.

It is me who hold him back! It is me who drag him down! As Su Dingfang said, my husband should have galloped on the battlefield, make significant contributions, become a marquis and a prime minister, and bring glory to our family in the Tang Dynasty!

Although she hadnt witnessed it firsthand, Su Dingfangs confidence was unwavering. Changle was willing to believe that her husband was as remarkable as Su Dingfang claimed. But because of her, her husband could only be confined to this small princesss mansion, accompanied by a useless person all day long.

Su Li was unimpressed by Su Dingfangs words. Su Dingfang might possess political savvy but not much else. Did he really expect Li Jing to intervene in this private royal matter? He doubt Li Jing would meddle in this personal affair. His own future was uncertain, and Li Jing was walking on thin ice. So why did Su Dingfang expect him to leave the Princess Mansion?

Su Li lamented that his elder brother couldnt understand. Instead of understanding to leave the Princess Mansion and starting a new life, praying for Princess Changles swift recovery would be better.

Once Princess Changle woke up, Su Li would become the recognized son-in-law. Why did my elder brother need to be depressed about not being recognized for his talents all day long?
