Chapter: 2366

He thought to himself: "Old master is starting to suspect my inner strength and abilities. This isn't a good sign!"

"If I continue to show excessive anxiety over this matter, old master will definitely think I'm weak-willed and unable to take on the position of Su family head."

"If old master's judgment about succession is influenced by this matter, that would be a loss"

Thinking of this, Su Shou Dao's expression was stern: "Dad! Don't worry! No matter what happens with this matter, I won't let it affect me!"

Old master looked at him suspiciously and spoke in a cold tone: "It won't influence you? That's not up to your mouth to say, but my old eyes that see!"

Su Shou Dao hurriedly said: "Dad, you're right! I'll show you through actual actions!"

Old master nodded slightly, waved his hand: "Alright, go out."

Su Shou Dao respectfully said: "Yes, dad, I'll go out first."

The old master's voice was cold and stern: "If he's still alive, I believe he'll definitely get in touch with you. If he gets in touch with you, you must tell me at the first opportunity!"

Su Shou Dao replied without hesitation: "Father, don't worry. As long as he contacts me, I'll report to you immediately!"

The old master nodded and waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Su Shou Dao quickly turned around and left the study of the old master.

At that moment, Su Shou Dao's back was already drenched in cold sweat.

Living among the nobility for so long had made him realize that there was no difference between them and ancient royal courts.

The head of this noble family was equivalent to an emperor from ancient times. His descendants were none other than the princes below.

Although he had been designated as the "crown prince" by the old master, inheriting the Su family's throne in the future, the old master still held all the power and Su Shou Dao had to be constantly cautious and vigilant, like walking on thin ice!

Otherwise, it was possible that a single careless word could enrage him, leading to his ruthless dismissal.

There were countless examples of princes who had been dismissed for their words and actions displeasing the emperor.

In the Western Han period, Emperor Jing of Han deposed Prince Liu Rong;

During the Eastern Han period, Emperor Zhang of Han deposed Prince Liu Qing;

In the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan deposed Prince Sun He;

Li Shouyin, the eldest son of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, was also dismissed when he disobeyed his father in previous years;

The most pitiful is Qianlong Emperor's crown prince, Aixinjueluo Yinju, who is Yongzheng Emperor's older brother. This cousin was repeatedly demoted and finally imprisoned until death, a tragic fate.

Su Shou Dao also worried that if he displeased the old master due to the Su Jiao Li affair, the old master might also dismiss him. The loss would be catastrophic, a waste of half his lifetime's efforts.

Thinking about this, Su Shou Dao decided that regarding Su Jiao Li, he would definitely try to control his emotions when facing the old master, and absolutely cannot let the old master develop any negative feelings towards him again! JrNovels.com
