Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 201: My Dad Is Really Great

Lord Sun was just about to curse, but upon seeing Xie Xun, he swallowed his words.

"I didn’t expect Heir Xie to be here as well. Brother Su, it seems you truly have great influence, to even have the Heir of the Duke Ping Mansion honor us with his presence."

"Not at all, not at all, everyone here is a guest." Old Master Su responded, though he didn’t know any Heir Xie.

Xie Xun was someone who respected no one’s face, and openly disrupted the atmosphere.

"Lord Sun, your words are incorrect. I came here specifically for you, not because of anyone else’s influence." Lord Sun was taken aback, unable to comprehend. Xie Xun was notoriously eccentric and unfriendly; there had to be a hidden meaning behind his words.

"I’m not sure what Heir Xie means by this..."

By this time, many people had gathered around.

With a smile and a closed fan in hand, Xie Xun spoke, "I simply came to see how thick Lord Sun’s face really is."

"You intend to finalize this marriage with the Su named family in my niece’s absence, hoping that when His Majesty and the Empress find out, they will spare the Imperial Family from embarrassment and accept this marriage?"

The surrounding people immediately began whispering among themselves. Lord Sun’s intentions were quite transparent.

Did he really consider his youngest son worthy of a marriage with a princess? It was a delusional dream.

Lord Sun’s face darkened, "Heir, what nonsense are you spouting! I was merely thinking that the ages matched, and since I’m acquainted with Brother Su, I wanted to ally our families."

Xie Xun let out a mocking laugh, "Your Sun family is nothing more than a noble with no real skill, and you have ambitions to wed into the Imperial family? You think deceiving this Su named family will help you?"

"Let’s see if His Majesty and the Empress agree, and if my Duke Ping Mansion agrees!"

Having spent much time with Su Juan, Xie Xun learned a great deal from her too.

Lord Sun’s face flushed between red and black, his scheming exposed, yet he still clung to his dignity.

Old Master Su found himself caught between not wanting to offend one side and unable to offend the other, unsure of what to say.

Even if the Sun family was declining, they still held a legitimate noble title which was priceless. Such a marriage with his daughter wasn’t too bad, especially after her previous divorce, finding a good match again was difficult.

Just then, a group led by Su Juan approached, having noticed the commotion. "What’s all the arguing about?"

But Lord Sun had already scurried off with his tail between his legs.

Xie Xun shook his fan, contemplating exposing the true nature of this Su named family as well, hoping never to associate with them again, for he lacked no father.

"Su Juan, your relationship with your birth father seems quite troubled. Could the rumors be true, that you’ve been neglected and despised by the people of Su Mansion since childhood?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Su’s face turned pale, "Heir Xie, don’t fabricate lies!"

"I’ve adored my daughter since she was little, everyone in the mansion knows!"

Those somewhat aware of the truth found his words hard to tolerate, but as guests attending the banquet, they chose to stay silent.

Su Juan smiled at her nominal father and said to Xie Xun, "Of course not, my father has always treated me well."

[All the clothes and food have been the best in the Capital City!]

Upon hearing Su Juan speak up for him, Old Master Su nodded repeatedly, standing straighter, feeling reassured that his own daughter still sided with him.

[I’ve never seen such a dutiful father.]

However, Madam Su sensed something amiss. Usually, when Su Juan said such things, it suggested she had other intentions... yet her husband was acting all proud, completely devoid of his once astute business mind. She wondered how he built such a business empire back then.

Xie Xun winked at Su Juan: What’s wrong with you, speaking up for him!

This Su named man harbors no good intentions, exploiting the situation. Su Juan’s words might lead him to profit off her name in the future.

Many around shared the sentiment. This princess is too kind-hearted, easily manipulated. She’s still a young girl, not fully developed.

Su Juan, wake up!

In the next moment, Su Juan stepped closer to Old Master Su, appearing as an obedient daughter. "Father, His Majesty recently granted me a residence, saying it’s time I should establish my own household. I was thinking of moving my belongings from Su Mansion for convenience."

[After all, Su Mansion is too far, and I don’t come back often.]

Old Master Su laughed, "Alright, I’ll have your things packed and moved over for you."

[What a wonderful father!]

Even Xie Xun couldn’t bear it. If you need anything, buy it. Why ask for Su Family’s belongings?

The people present were confused. Has Princess Jinyang changed, or was she possessed?

With a gentle and obedient smile, Su Juan spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear, "Moreover, previously you kept my mother’s dowry and personal assets, saying I was too young. Now that I’m older, why not return the deeds and contracts to your daughter today?"

Old Master Su’s smile froze, "Why would you need those?"

The lands were in prime areas of the Capital, and the cosmetic shops were among the best-selling, earning hundreds of thousands each year...

What does a daughter need with so many assets?!

Moreover, now being a princess, the Royal Family provides everything. Why claim the family’s possessions?

Old Master Su softly said, "Dear daughter, you’re now an official. If you take these assets, nobody will manage them for you; it’s better if I handle them."

Su Juan appeared disappointed, her smile strained, "His Majesty mentioned finding someone to manage the shops, worried you wouldn’t return them. I thought since you’re my father, you wouldn’t hold on to what my mother left for her daughter... Such behavior would be lacking in virtue...

[No way, could there really be someone who’d hoard a wife’s dowry and a daughter’s inheritance?]

[Oh my, I thought my father treated me well, but it turns out... Sigh.]

[If he’s like this towards his own daughter, how can he be trustworthy in business?]

Not far away, several individuals with business dealings with the Su family whispered, shocked to learn that the Capital’s wealthiest merchant, Boss Su, privately mistreated his daughter, even coveting his wife’s dowry and his daughter’s inheritance.

Observant people immediately realized Su Juan’s visit to Su family was purely to reclaim her assets.

Su Juan looked expectantly at Old Master Su, "Father, surely you’re not the type to withhold your daughter’s rightful inheritance, right?"

Old Master Su gave a dry laugh, "Of course not..."
