Chapter 589: Chapter 540, Value_1

During the time that Xiao Yeyang took Yan Wenkai and Wentao to the Su Residence, the Su Family’s elderly patriarch and the third elder were playing chess and chatting in the study.

“Father, sending Hongxin to accompany the Little Prince as his study mate was initially because he was the next Prince, but now that the Ma Family’s son has been legitimized and the Little Prince is far from Beijing with a mother who dares to divorce the Imperial Family, I’m afraid he won’t be able to compete for the title.”

The Su Family patriarch calmly placed a piece on the board, then finally raised his eyes to look at his son, “What are you trying to say?”

Feeling the pressure from his father’s gaze, the third elder was nervous but for the sake of his son’s future, steeled himself and said, “Continuing to follow the Little Prince is no longer beneficial, and since he established the Glass Factory, he hardly goes to the barracks at Ningmen Pass. He spends all day with the Yan brothers, and one wonders what they are doing. So, I do not wish for Hongxin to go to the barracks anymore.”

The Su Family patriarch looked at the chessboard, “If not the barracks, then what do you plan for Hongxin to do?”

The third elder shook his head, “Hongxin does not enjoy reading, and his future worries me.” _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

The Su Family patriarch glanced at him dispassionately, “You haven’t thought of anything, yet you want to keep him at home. Are you preparing to raise an idle scion?”

The third elder was silent; then, after a while, he said, “But Father, there’s no use for Hongxin to stay in the barracks anymore, don’t let that ruin the child.”

The Su Family patriarch frowned and pondered, “Leaving the barracks means completely abandoning the Little Prince’s ship.”

The third elder was silent for a while before replying, “If it’s abandoned, then it’s abandoned.”

The Su Family patriarch frowned, “Are you sure? Don’t forget why we sent Hongxin there in the first place.”

The third elder replied, “I haven’t forgotten, at first it was because Hongxin loved martial arts and since our Su Family has always followed the path of the imperial examinations, we didn’t have any connections in martial arts. The Little Prince had the backing of the Guo Family, and following him offered broader prospects. But now the Guo Family has offended the Empress Dowager, and the Little Prince himself has a myriad of troubles, how can he take care of those around him?”

The Su Family patriarch did not entirely agree, “Don’t speak so absolutely.”

The third elder replied, “Yes, while it’s still unknown who will ultimately inherit the Prince Residence title, that could take many years, can I really make Hongxin just wait indefinitely?”

“If it comes to it, I’ll try harder to have Hongxin sent to the Commander’s Office. With that boy’s martial arts skills, and with our family’s support from time to time, he can still carve out a path for himself.”

The Su Family patriarch didn’t express agreement or disagreement, but instead asked, “I heard Yuanxuan has already begun to assist his father with some matters?”

The third elder nodded.

The Su Family patriarch continued, “But I’ve also heard that he still goes to the barracks?”

The third elder replied, “Not as often, just a couple of times a month.”

The Su Family patriarch’s gaze grew deep, “Dong Jiancheng also has only one legitimate son, but he would rather let his son travel back and forth than sever connections with the Little Prince.”

At this point, the elder stopped talking and continued to focus on the chessboard.

The third elder was taken aback for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

The Su Family patriarch sighed, “It’s always easier to add flowers to the brocade, but much harder to send charcoal in the snow. I understand your concerns about Hongxin’s future, but… Now that the Little Prince is somewhat disadvantaged because the Ma Family has been elevated, abandoning him now would seem quite unsightly. If the Little Prince remains unremarkable, that’s one thing, but what if he rises to prominence again, what then?”

The third elder fell silent.

Just then, a servant came in to report, “Elder Patriarch, Third Elder, the Little Prince has arrived with Third Master Yan and Fourth Master Yan, and Seventh Master has already gone to receive them.”

Hearing this, the Su Family patriarch and the third elder exchanged puzzled glances.

The Su Family patriarch smiled, “Speak of the devil and he shall appear, let’s go and receive them as well.”

…

At the entrance of the Su Residence, Xiao Yeyang saw the deeply troubled look on Yan Wenkai’s face and said with dissatisfaction, “Remember your status, don’t embarrass me, be alert.”
