Su Han untied her belt and lifted her top. Under her thin white undershirt, a hideous scar could be seen on her fair skin.
Chu Xiaotian couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache. How could a wound so long and deep on such a delicate body not be painful?
Yet, how could her pain compare to the humiliation he endured yesterday?
“Humph! As a woman, you dared to make decisions on your own, causing such injuries. According to the seven rules, I could divorce you on the grounds of suffering from a serious illness! Put on your clothes properly to avoid dirtying my eyes.”
Chu Xiaotian turned away. If he didn’t look, he wouldn’t ache anymore.
“If Your Highness doesn’t look, this scar will remain. I’m afraid it won’t disappear in the future.” Su Han quivered as she let out a breath.
“Remain in the future? Su Han, are you trying to humiliate me? You’ve been a Princess for too long, and you’ve forgotten your original identity!” Chu Xiaotian’s expression turned ferocious, making Su Han feel like she was facing a stranger.
She had never imagined that her loving husband would have such a demeanor after an incident.
Su Han lowered her head and remained silent.
Her silence was a form of unspoken resistance.
In Chu Xiaotian’s eyes, this was stubbornness. She stubbornly believed she had done nothing wrong.
However, in his eyes, Su Han was entirely in the wrong!
“Now that you’re back, fulfill your duties as a princess properly!”
Chu Xiaotian dragged Su Han out, denying her a chance to catch her breath.
Before Su Han’s return, she had anticipated that her days in the prince’s mansion wouldn’t be easy.
Yet, she never expected Chu Xiaotian to be this cruel.
Outside Jiang Du City, the army had rested for a night. Su Wei entered the tent and reported to Su Qingzhi, “General, the Ninth Prince has sent someone to greet you. When will you enter the city?”
Su Qingzhi raised his thick black eyebrows. “What could it be that made him so anxious?”
Su Qingzhi found it increasingly challenging to understand Chu Yihan.
“How is the situation in the Marquis’s Manor?” Su Qingzhi temporarily set aside thoughts about Chu Yihan.
Not having returned for several years, he missed his children even more.
Before returning, he received a letter from Su Hao, stating that he had been appointed as a general and stationed at Bamboo Leaf Pass. He was engaged to a woman named Wu Jinyan.
Regarding the household, Su Yingxue had been taking care of it on his behalf.
Su Hao’s engagement wasn’t surprising, but what surprised him was that the authority of the Marquis’s Manor had fallen into the hands of Su Yingxue.
“Ying Xue, this child, has been quick-tempered since childhood. To see her manage the Marquis’a Manor so efficiently in such a short time is truly surprising.” Su Qingzhi’s demeanor was stern, but when he spoke of Su Yingxue, his eyes showed love and pity.
He regretted that Su Yingxue was a girl back then, unable to accompany him to battles like Su Hao. Instead, she could only be pampered at home. Yet, a child without a mother to accompany her would inevitably lag.

He felt a sense of indebtedness.
“General, I have gathered some information about the Marquis’s Manor. Would you like to hear it?” Su Wei looked conflicted.
Su Qingzhi waved his hand. “Tell me.”
Approaching Su Qingzhi, Su Wei whispered into his ear. At the end of his statement, he expressed some regret, “After all, Miss Yurou is a descendant of the Marquis’s Manor. It’s a pity she has passed away.”
A hint of sorrow crossed Su Qingzhi’s face, but it vanished in an instant as he regained his cold and solemn demeanor. “The Su family’s offspring have always been upright and straightforward. Devious and despicable individuals are not worthy of being part of the Su family. As for the despicable people raised by the Su family…. Death is not worth regretting!”
