Chapter 226

He had been afraid that they would have conflicts and stir up trouble in the household, which would have truly given him a headache.

Fortunately, thanks to his efforts, none of this happened.

More than ten days after the wedding, Su Xuan could no longer hold back and prepared to set off for Jizhou.

"What? Husband, you are going on a long journey to Jizhou?"

Hearing this news, Xun Cai and the others all looked reluctant to let him go.

It had not been long since the wedding.

They wished they could be glued to Su Xuan every single day.

"Yes!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "I have matters to attend to over there! There is a great talent there whom I cannot recruit without going in person, so I must make the trip!"

"Besides,"

Speaking of this, Su Xuan looked at Zhen Jiang again: "I also need to stop by Lu Nu along the way;"

"Your father recently wrote to me, saying that some people in Jizhou are coveting the wealth of the Zhen clan and are harboring opportunistic thoughts, showing signs of restlessness;"

"We shall go to show our support for your father, and by making an appearance and stating our position, completely dispel the ideas of these families;"

"To avoid any accidents."

When it came down to it, Nanjun was simply too far from Jizhou.

Some people felt that he, Su Xuan, could not exert influence over Jizhou;

At the same time, they also felt that since the Zhen daughter was only a concubine here with Su Xuan, she should not be of much importance to him.

Coupled with the fact that wealth moves people's hearts, there would always be some opportunistic people attempting to take risks.

Su Xuan needed to go over and teach them a lesson and provide a deterrent, to let them understand that his father-in-law's family was not to be insulted.

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Zhen Jiang was slightly stunned: "Is that so? My father and brother Yan did not tell me about this!"

Speaking of this, Zhen Jiang frowned slightly and asked with a worried expression: "Is my father alright?"

"Rest assured!"

Su Xuan smiled, put his arm around her waist, and gently stroked her back to comfort her: "He is fine for now; those people are still testing the waters;"

"Besides, in the shadows, I have Secret Guards arranged there, so you don't need to worry!"

"~ Didn't I say? My trip there this time is to resolve this problem once and for all!"

"Also, my focus for development will still be here in Jingzhou in the future. Jizhou is ultimately a bit too far, and I may not be able to attend to it;"

"Especially in a few years, when the chaotic times arrive and the warlords rise, it will be even more so!"

"Therefore, I plan to discuss this with your father when I go there, and have him begin to shift the Zhen clan's commercial focus toward Nanjun in Jingzhou;"

"In a few years, when the chaotic times come, we will completely shift the focus to Jingzhou;"

"When the situation does not allow, we can even abandon the industries in Jizhou without suffering any fundamental damage."

Although he was very tempted by the prosperous Jizhou.

Su Xuan knew that his foundation was in Jingzhou, and for the time being, it could only be Jingzhou.

Going to Jizhou would be more trouble than it was worth.

Therefore, when the chaotic times began in the future, Jizhou would most likely fall into the hands of Yuan Shao.

If it really came to that, it would not be safe for the Zhen clan to remain in Jizhou.

Zhen Jiang nodded upon hearing this: "I agree with your idea, husband;"

"However,"

Speaking of this, she frowned slightly again: "My father may not necessarily agree. He is a man with no small amount of ambition;"

"I am afraid he is still harboring thoughts of intermarrying with other Jizhou clans;"

"After all, he already has me as a successful example!"

"Therefore, I think you can appropriately intimidate and threaten him when you go this time;"

"Make him agree to your plan and first move a portion of the Zhen clan's industries to Nanjun, and hand them over to my second brother, Zhen Yan, to manage;"

"This way, even if the Zhen clan's industries in Jizhou really run into trouble in the future, there will be a way out!"

"At the same time, I will also write to my father to persuade him!"

"I will go write the letter later, and you can bring it to my father together, husband!"

She knew her father too well.

Without doing this, her father probably would not agree or take it seriously.

Right now, her father was probably already getting a bit carried away.

She even suspected whether the so-called crisis her father told Su Xuan about was something her father had used to deceive her husband.

All to trick her husband into going there to help him boost his prestige, in order to achieve some goal.

But once she thought of the intelligence capabilities of the Secret Guards in Su Xuan's hands, Zhen Jiang dismissed this possibility.

If that were really the case, Su Xuan would certainly not be fooled.

"Ah, this... Jiang'er, is it really okay for you to pit your father like this?"

Su Xuan asked, looking at Zhen Jiang with a strange expression.

Not only him, but even Xun Cai and the others were the same.

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing Su Xuan's words, Xun Cai and the others could not help but burst into laughter.

"Sister Jiang'er is truly interesting! So filial!"

"Yes! Yes! But Sister Jiang'er is so cute like this!"

"....."

Xun Cai and the others could not help but tease her.

They had never seen someone pit their father so blatantly.

That was simply a model of fatherly kindness and daughterly filial piety!

"Hee hee!"

Hearing this, Zhen Jiang also smiled shyly: "I am doing this for the sake of my husband and the Zhen family;"

"I know my father too well; he easily loses sight of priorities and easily gets carried away;"

"If it weren't for my mother by his side, our Zhen clan would never have developed to where it is today."

When it came down to it, her father lacked ability but had no small amount of ambition.

"Husband, if my father goes too far, please bear with him, and I will help persuade him."

Zhen Jiang looked at Su Xuan pleadingly.

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled, stroked her cheek, and said: "Rest assured! I will handle it well! I won't make you feel embarrassed or sad!"

"You have a good heart!"

To be able to marry such a wife, what more could he ask for?

This made Su Xuan like and cherish Zhen Jiang even more.

At this time, Cai Yuan also asked: "Husband, will the chaotic times of the warlords you speak of really come?"

"Naturally!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Haven't I already analyzed it for you all?"

"Your father is also very clear about this point, which is why he chose to marry you to me;"

"Otherwise, given your background and conditions, it would be unlikely for him to let you be a concubine. You should be clear about this point."

"Yes!"

Cai Yuan nodded in understanding, then smiled beautifully: "But I do not regret becoming the husband's concubine;"

"Marrying the husband as a concubine is a hundred times better than marrying those good-for-nothings."
