The moment Su Zixuan returned to the mansion, she immediately went to see Su Qianshan. She had thought of this when she was in the Plum Garden.

After all, the items displayed in the account books were not comprehensive. If one wanted to keep the shop in check, it was obviously unrealistic. The rest could only be shown to the servants.

Su Zixuan shared his opinion with Father Su. Whether it was the arrangement of the staff or the rewards and punishments proposed for the workers, he explained it clearly and shook his head as he listened.

Such a peaceful and peaceful appearance made Su Zixuan think back to a few years ago. At that time, she had also been like this, slowly being taught about business matters by her father. Gradually, she looked a little like an heir, but at the same time, she had ruthlessly disappointed her father.

Fortunately, there was still time.

Father Su nodded his head in gratification after hearing what she said. He knew his daughter would understand after watching her daughter display her martial arts so brazenly for the past few days. However, he didn't expect her reaction to be a bit slower.

Upon seeing her father nod, Su Zixuan knew that this matter was not wrong. She finally let out a sigh of relief, but before she could completely recover, she heard her father asking her a question.

"Today, did you meet the Jin Emperor at the Grand Princess Mansion?" The Su Clan had its own network of people. Although they were not as friendly as the other clans and were not connected to each other, but the ants were small and could gather together in a way that could not be underestimated.

This was also the reason why Father Su had received the news even faster than Su Zixuan had returned.

Su Zixuan looked at her father as he asked this question, and a helpless expression appeared on her face.

Ever since that incident with Prince Jin, his father had tried to beat around the bush with his words several times. In his opinion, if his daughter suddenly broke off the engagement, then she would either have received a huge shock or have met a better man.

However, nothing had happened to Su Zixuan recently, and it just so happened that on the day of the marriage annulment, Prince Jin had come to ask for her hand in marriage. This was something that he had come up with after several days of rumination about annulling the engagement.

From his point of view, liking King Jin was much more reliable than liking Yan Yu. Not to mention the speed at which King Jin came to ask for his hand in marriage, just his status and appearance was much better than her, but he was also a son-in-law that he couldn't afford to buy.

Su Zixuan looked at his father's curious gaze and didn't know how to reply. After some deliberation, she replied, "It just so happens that during the competition, there are some men who came to watch. Prince Jin is among them."

Su Qian Shan felt that his daughter was making him laugh. Did she still think that he didn't know?

This matter, not to mention the Su Clan, most likely everyone knew about it. The small matters in the capital could not be considered small matters, and the hidden secrets of the family could not be found out.

It was impossible to conceal the truth, but it all depended on how Prince Jin was thinking.

At the same time, Father Su was also worried, it was not that simple to involve the Imperial Family.

"Prince Jin took one of your paintings?" Father Su looked at Su Zixuan's indescribable expression and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a report from outside the door.

"Master, Prince Jin sent someone to deliver a gift. He said it was a thank-you gift."

Su Zixuan's expression froze. This' thank you 'gift had arrived way too quickly.

Ignoring her father's teasing gaze, Su Zixuan swiftly took her leave before heading back to her own courtyard.

She wanted to see what kind of thank-you gift Prince Jin had given her. If it wasn't good enough, then … Forget it, she couldn't do anything to Prince Jin.

In one breath, he was depressed up and down.

It was night, and the sky was about to darken. Su Zixuan had just finished her dinner and was pacing back and forth towards her own courtyard.

There were only three proper lords in the Su Clan right now. If they still didn't eat together, then it would be a bit more empty.

When Su Zixuan walked into her own courtyard, the sky just so happened to be completely dark, and even the snow covering the sky couldn't reflect in the light.

"Everyone else, leave the room. Mascot is waiting at the door. If anyone comes, tell them I've already fallen asleep."

The maidservants filed out, Su Zixuan held onto the warm stove, leaving only Qing Yue to wait on them inside. Seeing the flickering candle light, he estimated that it was almost time, so he ordered Qing Yue to serve him some tea.

Sure enough, in just a few moments, a black figure leaped into the room.

"If one day I can enter through the main entrance of your courtyard, I'll forget about it." As he finished speaking, he glanced regretfully at the window where he had come in from.

"If you feel wronged, you can refuse to come." Su Zixuan didn't hold back as she looked at Prince Jin. There was no other reason other than the fact that every time Prince Jin would smile in front of her, she wouldn't be afraid.

"I don't know how much fame the Prince has garnered in the day, but why would he have the leisure to come visit me at night?" Su Zixuan put down the tea in her hand. She would always place some food on the table. She should have a strict personality, but who knew when she had developed such a delicious and lazy appearance?

Chu Yixuan smiled embarrassedly as he looked at the angry face of the girl in front of him. Under the candlelight, his eyes were brimming with vigor, and he didn't know why, but he didn't dare to look her in the eye.

He then took out a small box from his sleeve with a smile.

"Look, aren't I here to apologize?" In the afternoon, he only sent her a token of thanks. Since he took her painting, he naturally had to express his gratitude. As for tonight's performance …

Today, he had taken the person out to play, so it would be better for him to admit his mistakes.
