Qin Yun said sharply, “I want to see Father! Get out of my way!”  

Xu Qing stood firm.  

Qin Yun sneered, “You’re just a watchdog! How dare you disobey me! Get out of my way! I want to see Father!”  

A cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes.  

“A Yun!” Qin Yanran pulled Qin Yun back. 

“Stop making trouble!”  

Qin Yun shook off her hand forcefully, causing Qin Yanran to stumble backward.

Xu Qing quickly grabbed her arm to prevent her from falling to the ground.  

Once she steadied herself, Xu Qing expressionlessly withdrew his hand.  

Qin Yanran rubbed her arm, looked at Qin Yun with a complex expression, and said sternly, “Go back!”  

Qin Yun glanced at his angry older sister, then at the icy-faced Xu Qing, gritted his teeth, turned, and stormed off!  

Qin Yanran sighed in frustration, then turned to Xu Qing and asked worriedly, “How is my father’s condition?”  

Xu Qing looked at Qin Yanran.  

His gaze was different from an ordinary guard, it unintentionally carried an endless killing intent.  

Qin Yanran’s heart sank, but stubbornly refused to avert her eyes from his murderous glare.  

Xu Qing shifted his gaze away and said calmly, “The imperial doctor has seen the master. He advised the master to rest peacefully.”  

He didn’t mention that Qin Jiang had been so angered by Wei Ting in the imperial study that he coughed up blood.  

“Did His Majesty punish Lord Wei?”  

“Yes, he was confined to his residence for a month of reflection.”  

Qin Yanran was incredulous.  

Wei Ting had injured her father so severely, and yet he only received a month of house arrest?  

Xu Qing said, “You’re aware of the selection for the princess’s companion tomorrow, aren’t you, miss?”  

Qin Yanran nodded. 

“Someone from the palace has already been here.”  

Xu Qing said calmly, “You should understand that this is your only chance to marry the Third Prince, right?”  

Qin Yanran was taken aback. 

“You mean… being the princess’s companion is just a pretext, and the real purpose is to select a consort for the Third Prince?” 

Xu Qing didn’t directly answer her question but instead said, 

“I’ve heard that the young lady from the countryside has also received an invitation to enter the palace.”  

Qin Yanran exclaimed in surprise, “She… didn’t she already get married in the countryside?”  

Xu Qing replied, “There were precedents in this dynasty. I heard that shortly after you were born, a highly accomplished monk once prophesied the fate of the Duke Protector’s household. He said the young lady of the Duke Protector’s household was born with the destiny of a phoenix, fated to become the mother of the nation. But the young lady the monk referred to was actually you, or the true eldest son’s daughter?”  

Qin Yanran’s pupils contracted sharply!  

.….. 

The sun was beginning to rise.  

Su Xiaoxiao got up to make pastries.  

Su Cheng hadn’t returned home since yesterday. 

He had been so exhausted from practicing archery and riding that he fell asleep directly in the equestrian field’s courtyard.  

Qin Canglan sent a guard to deliver a message to Su Xiaoxiao, telling her not to worry.  

Wei Ting wasn’t around, Father Su wasn’t at home, and Su Ergou had to go to school, so he needed to sleep well.  

This time, there was truly no one helping Su Xiaoxiao.  

But a little over a hundred pastries wasn’t too many, they would be ready in about two hours.  

She woke up Su Ergou and the three little ones.  

Su Ergou rubbed his eyes, looked at the bright daylight outside the window, and smelled the buttery aroma wafting from the kitchen. 

He muttered, “Sis, you’ve already finished making the pastries? Why didn’t you wake me?”  

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It was just a few pastries.”  

Su Ergou frowned.  

“No! You have to call me next time, or I won’t take any more orders!”  

How could he let his older sister handle everything alone? Was he still considered a man of this family?  

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her fourteen-year-old brother and smiled. 

“Alright, I’ll call you next time.”  

Su Ergou, still worried, insisted on filling the water vat, chopping the firewood, and feeding the little pony before sitting down to eat breakfast.
