Chapter 283 The Same Morality as Her Father
A few days later, the coalition forces composed of the five major families and the royal family finally returned to the imperial capital with good news. Emperor Mo Linyuan was overjoyed and immediately ordered a banquet in the evening to reward the heroes.
Because the palace banquet was in the evening, everyone went home to rest for a while, and then went out and into the palace after the sun set.
However, Mo Lintian followed Su Qingning back to the Su family without any hesitation, as if he had already married into the Su family and the Prince Lin's Mansion was just a decoration.
Earlier, after coming down from Yunding Mountain, the three or four hundred magical beasts were determined to follow Su Qingning. She couldn't refuse their kindness, so she had to agree.
However, there were many people around at the time, and Su Qingning didn't want to expose her space, so she didn't put the monsters into the space, but let them follow in camouflage.
Until the evening, when everyone fell asleep, Su Qingning asked Mo Lintian and Su Qingyu to keep watch, while she quietly put all the monsters into the space.
The next morning, when the others discovered that the monsters were gone and asked about it, Su Qingning lied without blushing, "Oh, they're all gone. I thought about it again and again and felt that so many monsters following us into the city would be too conspicuous, so I let them leave."
Naturally, everyone did not believe Su Qingning's explanation, but no matter how many doubts they had in their hearts, since the other party was unwilling to speak, they did not dare to ask more questions, so the matter could only be dropped.
After returning to the Su family, Su Qingning first went to visit Su Qingcang and told him the news that the Tiandao Sect had been destroyed.
After listening to this, Su Qingcang's face had a complicated expression. He sighed, "Five years ago, when you said you wanted to destroy the Tiandao Sect, I thought you were young and hot-headed, not knowing your place. But now it seems that I'm old and always hesitant. I don't have the courage and bravery of you young people."
“Grandpa, you are not old, you just want to protect the Su family.”
Su Qingning didn’t understand it before, but since she inherited the position of head of the family, she gradually understood that as the head of the family, she is not alone, but has a large family to protect.
Therefore, Su Qingcang cannot make impulsive decisions based on his momentary anger. He must think twice to ensure that he will not bring harm to the Su family.
As for this time, Su Qingning decided to attack the Tiandao Sect, and Su Qingcang did not stop him. First, he was no longer the head of the family; second, Su Huaiyang’s betrayal caused him great psychological trauma; third, the Tiandao Sect was too much, and he could no longer tolerate it.
"Grandpa, there is something I want to discuss with you." Su Qingning suddenly changed the subject.
Su Qingcang didn't care much and just asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Seeing Grandpa holding up the teacup and preparing to drink tea, Su Qingning raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a hint of mischief: "Grandpa, I plan to pass the position of head of the family to my eldest brother."
As soon as he took a sip of tea, he was choked by Su Qingning's words.
“Ahem… ahem… you…”
Su Qingcang coughed so hard that his face turned red and he almost couldn't breathe. Seeing this, Su Qingning hurried over and patted his back to help him breathe.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Su Qingning asked with concern.
Su Qingcang waved his hands, indicating that he would not die for the time being. When he finally calmed down and stopped coughing, he raised his head and glared at Su Qingning unhappily, asking in a deep voice, "What did you just say?"
Looking at her grandfather's glaring eyes, Su Qingning was not afraid at all. She sat down on the chair next to her and casually repeated what she had just said, "Grandpa, I plan to pass the position of head of the family to my eldest brother."
"you!"
Su Qingcang was extremely angry, but after he calmed down, he felt a little depressed. The head that had just been raised slowly drooped again, looking quite dejected.
"Ning girl, are you still blaming me?"
Without waiting for Su Qingning to answer, Su Qingcang said in a sad tone: "In fact, five years ago, when your family returned to the Su family, I felt that you had resentment towards the Su family. There was hatred hidden deep in your eyes."
Hearing this, Su Qingning was really stunned. She thought she had hidden it well, but she didn't expect that Su Qingcang had already noticed it.
"Grandpa, since you know that I have a grudge against the Su family, why did you let me become the young master of the Su family five years ago?" Su Qingning was puzzled. "Aren't you worried that I will destroy the Su family?"
"you will not."
Su Qingcang said this with certainty. He raised his head and looked directly into Su Qingning's eyes. "Ning girl, do you know? You and your father are really alike."
As if remembering something, Su Qingcang's face showed a nostalgic look, "Once upon a time, your father also said that he wanted to destroy the Su family."
"Huh?" Su Qingning's face showed surprise. In her memory, her father, Su Huaijin, had always been very gentle. He was not only a modest gentleman, but also a hero who protected his country.
Therefore, she really found it hard to believe that her father would actually say such a treasonous thing as to destroy the Su family.
"Is it hard to believe?" Su Qingcang smiled and said, "Actually, when I heard your father say he wanted to destroy the Su family, I also found it hard to believe. I was so angry that I even wanted to kick him out of the Su family."
"Why?" Su Qingning asked curiously, "Why would my father say such a thing?"
Su Qingcang still feels irritated when he mentions this matter. He said unhappily, "Why else? It's just to marry your mother."
"Back then, your father brought your mother back to the Su family, saying he wanted to marry her. I saw your mother was mentally retarded, so I naturally disagreed. But your father was determined to marry your mother, and he even said that if I didn't agree, he would take your mother away from the Su family and never come back."
At this point, Su Qingcang snorted as if he was out of anger. "I was furious and furious at the time, so I said without thinking that it was your mother who seduced your father, and I wanted to kill her to put an end to your father's thoughts."
"Maybe your father really loved your mother terribly at that time. When he heard that I was going to hurt your mother, he glared at me like an angry lion and said that if I dared to hurt your mother, he would destroy the Su family and let the Su family be buried with your mother."
"What happened next?" Su Qingning asked.
"Later..." Su Qingcang sighed with a bitter smile, "What else could I do? Your father is the most outstanding disciple of the Su family. How could I let him leave the Su family? In order to make him stay, I had no choice but to agree to let him marry your mother."
After listening to Su Qingcang's stories of the past, Su Qingning finally understood why the Su family agreed to let her mother marry in.
"Grandpa, I understand your feelings, but I still want to say that you should."
Su Qingcang: "..."
"Okay, you are the son of your parents, so you should naturally speak for them." Su Qingcang rolled his eyes in annoyance, still feeling resentful in his heart.
"It's true that I'm protecting my shortcomings, but..." Su Qingning paused and said, "But you are indeed wrong in this matter. Breaking up a couple and ruining a marriage will be punished by lightning."
"..." Su Qingcang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. This unfilial granddaughter was indeed the same as her father.
