Chapter: 3187

"But if I can stabilize myself as the head of the household first, then everything will have been settled by the time they come back. The Su family has direct lineage descendants numbering nearly one hundred, but only one person holds the position of head of the household, and between them and the head of the household there is an insurmountable gulf."

"This isn't just a gulf, it's also a protective moat. Even if it were my own father or older brother, they wouldn't be able to resist the temptation brought by huge benefits without this protective moat..."

Thinking about this, she understood Ye Chen's good intentions.

"Although En Gong punishes your brother, it's not necessarily for my sake, but in essence, it has genuinely helped me clear away obstacles."

"And, considering my character, I would never consider betraying my father or older brother for benefits. En Gong is now sending them off separately, one hand avoiding the difficulties that might lie ahead for myself and the other hand ensuring their personal safety, a two-for-one deal."

As she thought about this, Su Zhiniu turned to Ye Chen and said, "En Gong, your good intentions are clear, and I understand!"

In reality, the top aristocratic families in modern society are no different from the imperial nobles of feudal times.

Each family's internal mechanisms are identical to those of a royal court.

In this special environment, one's status is determined not by age or generation, but by title and power.

Among princes, they generally get along equally until someone is designated as the crown prince, at which point there may be some differences due to seniority.

However, even the eldest son is just another prince's older brother, still of the same rank as other princes. When others see him, they can't possibly prostrate themselves three times and bow nine times.

But once someone becomes the crown prince and inherits the throne, all other princes, regardless of whether they are his older or younger brothers, must show them respect, completely obey their orders when they give commands.

This is the difference between a sovereign and their subjects.

Placing it on Su Zhiyu now is the same as well.

Su Zhiyu is not her older brother, nor is she hers.

Once Su Zhiyu inherits the Su family, she will be his subject and must follow him in everything.

Even their father, Su Shoudao, is the same.

So, Ye Chen left behind the lives of Su Shoudao and Su Zhiyu as a father-son pair, but he has to wait until Su Zhiyu inherits the Su family before letting them go free.

Because he believes his own judgment, Su Zhiyu is different from other members of the Su family, and she will not do anything that is an act of benevolence and retribution. As long as she takes charge of the Su family's power, she won't have to worry about Su Shoudao and Su Zhiyu coming up with something devious.

Su Zhiyu also understood Ye Chen's intention.

So, at this moment, her gratitude towards Ye Chen was further elevated in her heart.

Ye Chen then said to her, "The Su family has gone through so many things, and Su Chengfeng's pressure must be almost unbearable. What you need to do next is to gradually let him release more power and resources to you, gradually increasing your influence within the Su family."

Su Zhiyu said, "Grandpa is definitely very displeased with me now. I think he will definitely keep a close eye on me from then on......"

"What about that?" Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "In my opinion, he currently has two core demands: one is to not want to give up power, and another is to not want the Su family to split or go downhill."

"Plainly speaking, the former is for him to ensure his own life when he's alive, with no threats to the Su family's rights, while the latter is for him to hope that after he passes away, the land he has labored to build can be passed down." JrNovels.com
