Transmigrated into a novel after her death, Su Jin has an engagement with Lu Xi, the legendary and unrivaled male protagonist, that was arranged between their families. After the revelation of her identity as the ado...
Sorry, this chapter remains solemn and part of the resolution of what happens to Han Xuelan and her dad. Also, does anyone feel that this is those scenes where what happened to Su Jin's counterpart here in the novel has happened to Xuelan instead? Interesting, isn't it?

Well... His obeisance probably isn't this dramatic but I imagine his beseeching eyes look like this~
"Xiao Jin..." Han Lei took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I know this matter has made you feel wronged, but I only have this one daughter. Ever since she was born, we have been dependent on each other to survive, Xiao Jin." He looked up at Su Jin, with beseeching eyes, "Xiao Jin, can you let your elder sister off, taking your little uncle into account?"
"Father..." Han Xuelan bit her lip and softly murmured.
"If- if you really are so furious, I-I can take full responsibility for Xuelan's crimes, as long...as long as you guys can let Xuelan off the hook. She's still a child..." Han Lei's voice became softer and softer. His head slightly fell, as he lifted his right hand to wipe his own cheek.
"Father!" Han Xuelan spoke before Su Jin got a chance to reply, probably because her mood had been fluctuating too much. Her strength had actually increased, as she hauled Han Lei's elbow and pulled him up.
She looked down at Su Jin who was sitting upright, her eyes filled with hatred, "Don't beg her! She's only a fake princess. What right does she have to make you kneel?!"
"Xuelan!" Han Lei anxiously grabbed his daughter's arm, wanting to stop her words.
"Uncle, don't speak anymore." Su Jin suddenly spoke, her voice slightly cold. As she raised her eyebrow, a hidden gleam flashed through her phoenix shaped eyes, "let her speak. I really want to know what Xuelan Jiejie has against me."
"What I have against you, heh-" Han Xuelan heard what she said and let out a soft laugh, "Ever since we were little, you and I have been the only daughters of the Su family and the Han family respectively. But why you have always been endlessly spoiled? Everything is readily available to you, but as for me, I can only be known as the illegitimate daughter. In the dark corners where you cannot see me, I am mocked, I am bullied..."
"They hit you?" Su Jin was surprised.
"Hit?" Han Xuelan slightly lifted her head, "Let them try! No matter what, on the surface, I clearly belong to the Han family."
"Since you know they would never make a move against you since you know they account for the Han family, why didn't you say anything? Why didn't you fight back? Even if your uncle doesn't like you that much, he wouldn't allow anyone of the Han family to be bullied, and would definitely, inevitably, preside over justice for you." Su Jin said in a heavy overtone, turning her head towards Han Xu.
