Chapter Thirty-Two Persuasion

  "Dad also knows that his daughter has always been honest and straightforward, saying and doing what she thinks. So, it's unlikely that I'll forget this matter overnight. But I won't hold a grudge against my sister because of this, at most we'll just interact less in the future." Han Jiangxue spoke extremely candidly, without any hint of concealment.

  It's only natural that Han Feng would understand what Han Jiang Xue said, and it's even more reasonable. If he really didn't care at all, that would be abnormal. On the contrary, his daughter being able to do this was already very broad-minded and understanding in his eyes. In his heart, he couldn't help but feel even more guilty, so he comforted her a few more times.

  "Dad, don't worry about me anymore. Compared to what happened with big brother, my situation is nothing. But big brother is still kneeling outside now, and with his stubborn temper, he might really end up kneeling like that forever."

  Han Jiangxue knew the timing was just right, so she took the opportunity to bring up Han Jing's matter again: "Big brother's body is not bad, but it's not made of iron either. How can he keep kneeling like this? He's young and doesn't understand things, his temper is like that, once he's determined on something, he'll stick to it until the end. But it's not intentional to provoke Father to anger. Father is a reasonable person, having read so many books, naturally understands the principle of flexibility. Anyway, as long as we don't let him marry Lin family's concubine-born daughter, that's settled. If we change our approach, won't it be better to avoid hurting the father-son relationship and letting him give up on this matter?"

  These words really hit the nail on the head, if he didn't take it to heart that would be his own son, how could he not feel distressed? However, if there was a good way as said by his daughter, he would have used it early on, where is it possible for him to truly bear the heart of letting that child kneel outside like this?

  "Xue Er, do you have a good idea?" He subconsciously asked for his daughter's opinion. Xue Er was always quite clever, and since she said so, it seemed like there should be something they could try.

  Han Jiang Snow nodded and said, "Originally, there was no way, but after speaking with you openly just now, I have gained some inspiration. Father does not agree to let the eldest brother marry Lin's concubine daughter, simply because Lin's concubine daughter's status is too low, not matching our Han family. So, father has made it clear to the eldest brother that he can choose whoever he wants to marry, but on one condition: the two families must be of equal social standing. If he has the ability to make Lin's concubine daughter's status match his own, then so be it. But if he doesn't have that ability, then it's not anyone else's fault. After all, the Han family is not just father alone, there are many eyes watching from the sidelines, and managing this household is not as easy as he thinks!"

  "This... reason is reasonable, but your big brother definitely won't do it. Firstly, the Lin family will be engaged to someone in a few days, and secondly, wanting to change the status of that Lin family woman is simply impossible. He naturally wouldn't agree!" Han Feng shook his head and said: "Moreover, what if he did agree? In order to marry that Lin family woman, he would have to do all sorts of messy things, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

  "This is one thing that Father doesn't need to worry about, you can discuss the three chapters with Big Brother in advance. He cannot do anything out of line, otherwise he won't even be given this one opportunity. Moreover, as long as Big Brother knows that this is the only chance to properly marry Lin's family's daughter, then with his personality, no matter how difficult it is, he will agree to it. Similarly, although Big Brother's personality is too stubborn, he is the kind of person who says what he means and admits defeat when he loses a bet. As long as he agrees, then in the future, no matter what the outcome is, he won't hold onto it anymore. Of course, if he doesn't want to agree, then even if he dies kneeling down, it's his own fault, not even his daughter will sympathize with him half-heartedly, and Father has done all that he can."

  Han Jiang Xue analyzed everything clearly, and wasn't afraid that her father wouldn't be moved. As long as her father nodded his head, then the situation would have a turning point, although it was extremely difficult, but at least there was hope and opportunity.

  As expected, after hearing this, Han Feng couldn't help but nod his head, and then hesitated for a moment before saying: "This method still has one problem, what if, I mean what if your big brother really succeeds?"

  Things in the world are unpredictable, and Han Feng is also a cautious person. Just now, he had already thought through all possibilities, and his only son could only seek help from their grandfather Tan Xiao.

  Tan Xiao, although respected for his military achievements, has been idle for many years without a position or power, and it is impossible for him to help Han Jing in any way. Moreover, even if Tan Xiao were still in office, he wouldn't have the ability to change the Lin family's situation in such a short period of time.

  Apart from this, others naturally have nothing to worry about, but they are afraid of one in ten thousand.

  Upon hearing her father's final concern, Han Jiang Xue smiled and said: "If such an unlikely event were to occur, I'd be congratulating Father instead. If Big Brother has such great abilities and skills, what would you have to worry about? A marriage that brings in a son-in-law who is so capable and talented, and issues of status and family background wouldn't be a problem either - isn't that just double happiness? I actually hope for such an unlikely event, but it's probably just wishful thinking."

  Han Feng couldn't help but laugh along with him, and immediately agreed to Han Jiangxue's plan. After all, as a father, he could only do so much, hoping that Jing'er would understand his good intentions.

  After the father and daughter had discussed it, they both got up and left the study room. Han Jing saw that his sister had finally persuaded their father to come out, and for a moment he was so excited that his heart almost jumped into his throat as he stared at the two of them with wide eyes.

  But before Han Feng and Han Jiangxue could approach, Liu's family hastily brought over a reluctant-looking Han Yajing.

  "Xue Er, I just found out..." Liu said as he approached Han Jiang Xue, his expression filled with guilt.

  Han Jiangxue directly interrupted Liu's words, without even looking at Han Yajing, and said calmly: "Mother, big brother is still kneeling, let's put other things aside for now, don't add more trouble to father."

  Liu's eyes flickered slightly as she estimated that Han Jiangxue's mind was on Han Jing, so the incident with Qing'er earlier must not have been mentioned to Master, and her heart couldn't help but feel relieved. She nodded quickly without saying anything else.

  She was also worried that Han Jiang Xue would report to the old master, so she brought Jing Er over first to take the initiative to show her attitude and admit her mistake, trying to mitigate some of the unfavorable impact. Since Han Jiang Xue had been thinking about her brother all along and didn't plan to bring up Jing Er's matter, she naturally hoped to cover it up.

  She stepped aside first, and Liu also didn't bother with her daughter again, turning to pay attention to her husband Han Feng's actions instead. Earlier when she left, Han Feng was still fuming in the house, not showing any intention of bothering with Han Jing at all. And this time, Han Jiang Xue didn't know what Han Feng had said to him either, yet he proactively came out to see Han Jing.

  It seems that Han's eldest daughter is getting more and more extraordinary!

  Liu's thoughts were clear to Han Jiangxue, and when he saw Liu bringing Hanyajing hastily, he naturally understood what was going on. Looking at the two girls still with this expression, he felt somewhat dissatisfied for a moment, but thinking of his eldest daughter's words earlier, he only took a glance and didn't ask much, pretending to be unaware of everything and not mentioning it.

  Han Jing, still kneeling, had already seen the hint from his sister and naturally didn't need to wait for his father to speak first. He immediately kowtowed to his father with extreme sincerity, speaking with genuine emotions.

  Han Feng sighed and waved his hand, saying: "You don't have to ask me again. I can give you a chance, but whether you can seize this opportunity depends on yourself. Don't blame anyone else."

  As soon as this was said, Liu's eyes widened in shock, and her gaze swept past Han Jiangxue with an unspoken thought.

  Han Jing was overjoyed and hastily kowtowed again, asking his father to explain in detail how to do it. He knew clearly that this must be the only opportunity his sister had tried every means to fight for him, so he would grasp it tightly no matter what!
