The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Su Yanqi did not return to the Su Mansion until late at night. After a busy period in the study of Cuohezhai, he finally finished dealing with the pile of trivial matters at hand.

He ordered Shi Bo to settle the palace servants sent by Emperor Yao, and ordered Qingxu to call the manager of the Treasure Pavilion to see him.

Yan Si and the others were already very surprised by the sudden marriage arrangement today. Now seeing that Su Yanqi was going to use the most important undercover personnel in Kyoto, they couldn't help but ask, "My lord, you summoned Ji Yang at this time, is it because of Princess Azhao?"

Su Yanqi sat at the desk, took out a piece of letter paper and spread it out, and wrote as he instructed: "I intend to give the Treasure Pavilion as a betrothal gift to Princess Azhao. Hasn't she always wanted it? After I marry her, I plan to take her back to Beiluo City. You go and arrange our personnel tonight, and those who need to evacuate should evacuate, and only some will stay to secretly pass on the message."

Yan Si and Qiang Ze were both surprised and excited: "My Lord, are you going back to inherit the throne?"

Su Yanqi paused and his expression became serious.

"Ayu has been supporting himself for so many years, his body is almost broken. If Senior Mu can help him relieve the poison this time, I should let him have a good rest."

Yan Si and the others immediately knelt on the ground excitedly, and bowed to Su Yanqi with tears in their eyes: "My Lord is wise! You have been hiding in Nan Yao Country for so many years and have suffered a lot of grievances. When you ascend to the throne, you will no longer have to look at anyone's face."

Yan Si was truly happy for Su Yanqi.

He had concealed his life experience until now for the sake of the Su family and the Fourth Prince. He had endured countless oppression, humiliation and ridicule from the powerful people in Kyoto.

Yan Si and the others had long hoped that Su Yanqi could leave Nan Yao Country. How could the small Su family tie him down for the rest of his life?

Although they knew that Su Yanqi was determined to leave this time, it was mostly because of Ning Ziqing.

But at this moment, they just felt extremely happy in their hearts!

Su Yanqi's face was as calm as water, and he continued to write: "You must be careful and cautious during this operation, and do not attract too much attention from others. After the Treasure Pavilion is cleaned up, I will personally hand it over to Princess Azhao."

Yan Si and the other girl nodded in agreement, then happily stood up and left to help Shi Bo, who was busy decorating the new house.

On the second day, the servants in Ninghou's mansion were busy preparing for the upcoming wedding.

Early in the morning, Mr. Fu hurried to Xiyuan to see Ning Ziqing, but was told by Huiyi's mother that Ning Ziqing had not yet gotten up.

When Mr. Fu heard that Ning Ziqing's marriage was arranged so hastily, he was quite dissatisfied. He turned around and ran to argue with Lord Ning and his son, asking them to go to the palace to ask Emperor Yao for more time.

Lord Ning said in embarrassment: "Father-in-law, the imperial decree has been issued, how can it be easily taken back? We will do our best to organize this wedding for Qingqing and will never let her down."

Mr. Fu refused to comply and cursed angrily.

"You all say you are not aggrieved, but who has really thought about her? I haven't even put together enough money for her dowry, and I haven't prepared the princess's mansion for her to live in, but you are so impatient to get her married."

"If His Royal Highness Prince Qian were still alive, I don't think anyone would dare to bully her like this!"

Old Master Fu's eyes were red and he was heartbroken. He blamed Lord Ning and the others for letting Ning Ziqing get married in such a miserable way.

Lord Ning had no choice but to hint to Ning Zijun to appease Mr. Fu.

Ning Zijun understood, stepped forward to help Mr. Fu sit down, and gently comforted him: "Grandfather, we must act in an emergency. Qingqing's misfortune has indeed caused quite a stir in Kyoto. His Majesty also issued an order for the Seventh Young Master to marry her as soon as possible out of consideration for her reputation."

Mr. Fu had learned the whole story last night, but he was still unconvinced and said, "Your sister is the victim, why should she endure those rumors? Manman is not wrong, the ones who framed her are wrong. His Majesty not only did not appease her, but also forced her to marry."

Lord Ning was so shocked that he trembled: "Father-in-law, please be careful with your words. It is a crime of disrespect to criticize His Majesty!"

Mr. Fu gasped and glared at him.

Ning Zijun saw that Mr. Fu was very emotional and hurried to help him calm down.

"Grandfather, please don't be angry. This matter is complicated. Please listen to me and let me explain it to you clearly."

Ning Zijun was worried that Mr. Fu's words might be inappropriate and would be heard by the palace servants and gossiped about.

He wanted to tell Mr. Fu that Emperor Yao forced her to marry Su Yanqi because he discovered the affair between Huo Yunjue and Ning Ziqing.

Just when he was about to send Lord Ning away, Ning Ziqing arrived in time.

"Father, brother, please go out first. I want to talk to my grandfather alone."

Lord Ning heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly called Ning Zijun to leave.

When Mr. Fu saw Ning Ziqing, he took her hand with heartache and asked her with tears in his eyes.

"Manman, tell grandpa if they are all forcing you."

Ning Ziqing shook his head, smiled and squatted in front of him, coaxing him softly: "Grandfather, don't be sad, it was because I was willing to marry the Seventh Prince that His Majesty issued the decree. The Seventh Prince is so good, didn't you always hope that he could become your grandson-in-law?"

Mr. Fu felt a lump in his heart and sighed, "I think the boy from the Su family is good, but you... and the Fourth Prince... you... "

Mr. Fu was a little incoherent and didn't know where to start for a moment.

Ning Ziqing comforted him: "Grandfather, I have figured it out. You are right. If I want to be with the Fourth Prince, His Majesty will definitely stop me. If he ascends the throne in the future, the civil and military officials in the court will not allow him to have only one queen in the harem."

"I was too naive and didn't see the cruelty of reality sooner."

"If people knew that the engagement between our Marquis' Mansion and the Su Family was cancelled because I wanted to marry the Fourth Prince, how much abuse and accusations would we endure?"

"My brother, sister-in-law, the Fu family, the Lin family, and Sister Cao will all be implicated because of me."

Ning Ziqing held Mr. Fu's hands, his eyes became firm: "I can't be so selfish and ignore your feelings and do what I want."

"Grandfather, please let me marry Mr. Qi."

After listening to this, Mr. Fu felt bitter in his heart. He hugged Ning Ziqing and said sadly, "My poor Manman, Grandfather knows that you don't like Su Yanqi. You compromised for our sake."

"We are the ones who are sorry for you..."

Ning Ziqing rested his head on Mr. Fu's legs, his eyes moist.

"Grandfather, I am not wronged. I am very happy to have you love me. Qi Langjun likes me very much. I believe he will be a good husband in the future. Please don't worry about me anymore."

Old Master Fu stroked her head guiltily, falling into deep self-blame: "Manman, back then, it was your grandfather who cruelly abandoned your mother for the sake of that ridiculous face."

"Merchants are trustworthy. I have personally promised your mother and Luo Xuanyou a marriage, so I have decided that your mother must marry him in this life."

Mr. Fu’s tone became heavier.

"The lives of dozens of people in our Fu family were saved by Luo Xuanyou. He also saved the people of Cangzhou. But your mother refused to listen to my advice and insisted on breaking off the engagement and marrying someone else."

"How can I save my dignity? How will the people of Cangzhou view our Fu family for breaking our promise?"

"So, for that insignificant bit of face, I severed my father-daughter relationship with your mother, leaving her alone and helpless, and eventually she died in a foreign land."

"I was wrong. I harmed your mother and caused you two siblings to suffer for so many years. Now, I have to watch you sacrifice your own happiness for us."

Mr. Fu regretted his decision, looked very sad, and kept beating his chest.

Ning Ziqing hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"Grandfather, please don't be like this. My mother in heaven will never blame you, and Manman has never blamed you either."

"Now our family is finally reunited. If my mother knew, she would be very happy."

Her words soothed the pain in Mr. Fu's heart. Mr. Fu held Ning Ziqing's face with trembling hands and burst into tears.

Ning Zijun and others who were standing outside heard the noise coming from inside the house and all of them burst into tears.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day. The bridal chamber of the Su Mansion had been decorated quite luxuriously according to Su Yanqi's request. Every part of it exuded joy and dignity, to show the Su Mansion's respect for Ning Ziqing.

Originally, Shi Bo suggested that Su Yanqi set up his wedding room in Bingxin Hall where Su's father once lived. Su Yanqi wanted to keep the furnishings in Su's father's house as a souvenir, so he declined Shi Bo's suggestion.

Besides, three days was too short a time to decorate a larger new house.

Anyway, soon after the marriage, he would take Ning Ziqing away from Kyoto. When he returned to Beiluo Kingdom and ascended the throne, he would hold a more grand wedding for Ning Ziqing with the ceremony of a queen.

After breakfast, Su Yanqi stood in the corridor and watched the servants busying in and out, arranging pots of gorgeous flowers.

Shi Bo came up to him with a smile and asked for credit: "Sir, look, I had people put these potted plants there, and they make the garden look more festive. Princess Azhao will definitely like it."

Su Yanqi pursed his lips and smiled, praising him happily: "Shi Bo is thoughtful. I will ask Princess Azhao for a reward for you later."

Shi Bole smiled happily, "Sir, I have finally waited for the day when you get married. Although you are Princess Shang, your status is indeed low. But in my opinion, Princess Azhao is gentle and virtuous, and she will definitely not put on airs with you. After you get married, you will definitely be a harmonious and loving couple. If you have a few more young boys and girls in the future, our Su Mansion will be very lively!"

When Su Yanqi heard Shi Bo mention the children he and Ning Ziqing would have in the future, a sweet smile appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"Thank you for your kind words, Shi Bo."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Si, Yin Xiang and a group of maids and servants from the Marquis's Mansion came in to pay their respects to Su Yanqi.

Yinxiang immediately changed her words: "Prince consort, we were ordered to rush over this morning to make the princess' bed."

Su Yanqi nodded and signaled Shi Bo to take them to the bedroom.

Taking advantage of the free time, he followed in and prepared to lend a hand.

But Yinxiang ordered the servants to move a few heavy boxes and put them in the middle of the not-so-spacious room. She looked around and asked Shi Bo blankly, "Butler Shi, these are the princess's clothes. They need to be sorted out first so that they can be changed for the wedding tomorrow. Do you know a suitable place to put them?"

Shi Bo looked embarrassed and looked at Su Yanqi awkwardly.

This Cuohezhai was originally a small study room for the Su family to cultivate their character. The space was limited and was far less spacious than the main courtyard.

In order to decorate the new house, the desk had been moved away and a dressing table and a large bronze mirror had been added.

Even so, she still couldn't let go of Ning Ziqing's generous dowry.

Shi Bo felt very embarrassed and secretly blamed Su Yanqi for not listening to his advice before and now making a fool of himself.

Seeing that Su Yanqi had no reaction, he could only smile at Yinxiang and said, "Miss Yinxiang, please wait a moment. I will have someone bring another wardrobe over."

Su Yanqi waved his hand to stop Shi Bo: "Don't bother with that. Put some of the clothes that the princess needs to change into the closet first, and take the rest to Chaolu Garden next to Bingxin Hall for storage. After the wedding, I will move to Chaolu Garden with the princess."

Yin Xiang bowed in agreement and pointed to two of the boxes to keep, while Shi Bo asked the servants to move the rest away.

The house became busy.

Seeing Yinxiang and the others busy making the new bed, Su Yanqi took action himself, opened a box in front of him, gently took out Ning Ziqing's clothes, and folded them into the closet behind his screen.

When he came back to get clothes again, he inadvertently found a few of Ning Ziqing's underwear.

Su Yanqi's face turned red in an instant, he shyly looked away, quickly closed the box, and left quickly.

The maidservant nearby saw this and kept laughing with her hands covering her mouth.

"Our prince consort is embarrassed now. How can he serve our princess on the wedding night tomorrow night?"

Yinxiang's face darkened, she turned around and glared at the maid, as if silently warning her not to talk too much.

Su Yanqi rushed out of Cuohezhai in one breath as if he was scalded, and ran into Aunt Fang and her daughter who were temporarily staying in the Su Mansion.

Aunt Fang steadied herself, stared at Su Yanqi, whose cheeks were red, and asked curiously, "Seventh brother, why are you so flustered? What urgent matter has happened?"

Su Yanqi's eyes flickered: "Nothing... nothing. Aunt, I'm going to pick up Princess Azhao to try on her wedding dress. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Aunt Fang said directly, "I just came to ask your opinion. Tomorrow you will get married, and there is no relative in the Su Mansion who can come forward to preside over the event. Why don't you let me and Hong Jie'er help you entertain the guests. I know most of the relatives who are close to the Su Mansion."

Su Yanqi was delighted. He was worried that there would be no suitable person to help receive the female family members tomorrow. He did not expect Aunt Fang to let go of her resentment and offer to help him welcome the guests. Su Yanqi said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you, Aunt Fang. I'll bother you tomorrow."

Aunt Fang waved her hand and said, "It's not a big deal. Your aunt has to take care of the injured Fourth Prince, so it's inconvenient for her to host your wedding. Although the Su family has fallen, we must not be short of etiquette. Don't worry, your aunt will definitely help you hold up the front tomorrow."

After that, she lovingly helped Su Yanqi straighten his clothes and gently reminded him, "Go quickly, Qi Ge'er, don't keep Princess Azhao waiting for too long."

When Su Yanqi heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He bowed respectfully to Aunt Fang and walked out of the door in high spirits.
