I fought back after reselling my engagement

The most famous place in Yueyang Prefecture is Yueyang Tower, on which many poems and verses written by literati are engraved, making it quite famous in Hunan Province. Yueyang Prefecture is the capital of Hunan Province. It was called "Baling County" in the previous dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Qi, his brother was named "King of Yueyang". From then on, the place became the capital of Hunan Province. Because of the King of Yueyang, it was renamed "Yueyang Prefecture" and was even more famous as "Dongting Lake is the best water in the world, and Yueyang is the best tower in the world".

In the past, my grandfather left Beijing and came here to take up his post. Because Yueyang Prefecture was a place of great literary prosperity, he brought his uncle Su Shao and his family with him to take up his post, so that his uncle and cousins ​​could experience the literary atmosphere of Yueyang Prefecture. Yueyang Prefecture is close to Jiangnan. It only takes a few days by water from Jiangnan to Yueyang Prefecture, and it is even closer to Dongting Lake.

Zhen Su was in high spirits. She covered her face with a veil of the same color and dressed appropriately. She was about to meet her grandfather and uncle. Today, her uncle and her cousin Su Wulang came to pick her up.

Su Mo and his servant came to Hunan Province and sent a letter before leaving.

The ship docked at the pier, surrounded by carriages and sedan chairs coming to pick people up. My uncle Su Shao and his eldest son Su Wulang were standing in the crowd on the roadside. The Su family's carriage was parked in an alley not far away.

Su Shao and his son's eyes quickly locked onto the handsome Su Mo. Su Shao had never seen this nephew. He had heard from his father that this nephew of the eldest son of the family was very handsome. The men of the eldest son of the family hated being praised for their handsome appearance. When it came to the previous generation, they wanted to change it and let the entire Jiangnan family ignore the appearance of the eldest son of the Su family. They married a plain-looking lady. As a result, the three daughters born by the lady all looked plain like the lady, but the only legitimate son looked exactly like the head of the family and was born handsome.

Su Wulang stared at Su Mo, "Dad, grandfather was right, this cousin is really good-looking." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the girl in apricot yellow clothes walking in front of them, "Dad, the girl walking with the cousin... the more I look at her, the more she looks like Cousin Zhen."

Su Shao withdrew his gaze from Su Mo and fell on Zhen Su.

Zhen Su, carrying her bag, got off the boat soon and saw her uncle and sixth cousin in the crowd. These were her closest relatives, and with tears in her eyes, she approached them and bowed, "Zhen Su greets my uncle! Meet my sixth cousin!"

At this moment, not only Su Mo was stunned, but even Uncle Su Qi had never thought that Zhen Su had relatives to pick her up? Her uncle was in Yueyang Mansion?

Su Shao was slightly stunned. It was indeed Zhen Su. He looked at her carefully. She had grown taller, but her facial features looked more and more like Xiao Xie. He also saw what his elder sister Su Wan looked like back then. He raised his voice, feeling touched and relieved. The uneasiness he had been feeling for the past two months was swept away. "Su Su, you...you are such a brave child. You should have left the capital by yourself. You...you..."

He held Zhen Su's arm and wanted to hit her but couldn't bear to do so, for fear of hurting her. He turned his hand into light pats one after another, raising them high and dropping them gently, finally turning them into low and light pats.

Zhen Suyi was in Su Shao's arms, "Uncle, if I don't leave, I will die. Although leaving is risky, there is still a glimmer of hope."

Su Shao said with a sad face: "The Emperor's imperial edict for your reward arrived two months ago, naming you 'Jia Rou County Princess'; and another one arrived half a month ago, promoting you to 'Jia Rou County Princess', and naming Qingdi County in the north as your fief.

When my father heard the news that you jumped into the canal, he sent his trusted butler to lead people to search for you in that waterway for more than ten times to find out your whereabouts..."

During those days, the entire Su family was shrouded in a shadow. Su Jingzhai lost his appetite and worried that his young granddaughter might meet with an accident. He even muttered, "What's the point of reputation? Life is more important. She is just a silly child. She looks gentle, but in her heart she is the same as her grandmother and mother..."

Zhen Su said with tears in her eyes, "It was Su Su who was ignorant and made Grandpa and Uncle worried."

"Well, it's good that you're safe now. Let's go home first and talk about everything after we get home." After Su Shao finished speaking, he said to Su Mo and Uncle Su Qi, "I am Su Mo, the legitimate son of the governor of Hunan Province. I came to the dock to pick up Master Su Mo from Jiangnan."

Su Mo and his servant had no time to think about it, and had not yet figured out Zhen Su's identity. Now they knew that her real name was "Zhen Su", and her nickname was "Su Su", which was based on her mother Su Wan's maiden name. It was said that her name was given by Su Jingzhai.

Zhen Su was the granddaughter of Su Jingzhai, the governor of Hunan Province and a high-ranking official. Zhen Su lost her mother at the age of five. Her grandparents felt sorry for her and took her back to the Su Mansion to raise her until her grandmother passed away. Su Jingzhai took up the post of governor of Hunan Province and sent her back to the Zhen family because he saw that she was old.

Uncle Su Qi rode a horse, while Su Mo rode in a carriage with Su Shao and his son, and Zhen Su.

Su Wulang said, "Cousin, I heard that you jumped into the canal to avoid being caught by the pirates. Grandfather has not slept well for several days because of this incident. He regrets that he should not have left you in the capital, a place full of dangers..."

"Fifth cousin, I am not fine now. If I stay in the capital, I might die. But I don't want to go back now that I am out. Life is only a hundred years long, so we should live without regrets."

Su Shao heard her say this and learned a lot from the mighty general. Zhen Su left home because she knew that her stepmother and elder sister could not tolerate her and were plotting to murder her. Zhen Yuan knew the truth and not only did not punish the stepmother and daughter, but also showed partiality to them. Zhen Su was disheartened and thought of seeking refuge with her maternal grandfather and leaving the Zhen family.

An hour later, the carriage entered the downtown area of ​​Yueyang Prefecture.

Su Wulang said, "We really liked the gifts my cousin gave to my grandfather and my parents earlier. We also like the gifts you gave to me, my brothers and sisters."

"I'm very happy that you like it." Zhen Su sat next to her uncle, Su Mo felt mixed emotions. She didn't mean to hide it, but the princess thing happened after she left Beijing, and she was away for more than two months. The emperor issued two imperial decrees for her, and the second time he gave her such a generous title, rewarded her with a county as a mu food fief, and promoted her to the position of princess. The emperor probably thought that Zhen Su might be dead.

The ninth princess in the palace was worried every day, saying that Soft Bun might be dead and could not survive. They had been looking for him for so long but could not find him alive or dead. Many corpses were found floating in the river. She wondered if Soft Bun was eaten by fish. She cried for his miserable life.

The Ninth Princess was unhappy. Because Zhen Su's whereabouts were unknown in the capital, the activities of the Noble Ladies' Calligraphy and Painting Club were cancelled twice. When the club was about to open, the Ninth Princess cried that the "soft-hearted girl" was a miserable girl, and the other noble ladies followed suit and wiped their sympathetic tears, saying that "God should protect good people."

At this moment, Zhen Su looked at Su Wulang, "I haven't seen you for three years. Sixth cousin has grown a lot taller. How are seventh cousin and seventh cousin?" After they parted in the previous life, Zhen Su never saw his grandfather and uncle again. Now that they meet, Zhen Su always has the urge to cry.

"Seventh brother doesn't want to study hard and loves martial arts. Grandfather found him a martial arts master. Seventh sister made friends with two officials in Yueyang Prefecture and went to the girls' school of Mao's family in Yueyang Prefecture. She goes out early and comes back late, and is very busy. Her needlework skills have not improved, but her temper has worsened and she has become more and more spoiled. Mother can't say a word to her, and she will burst into tears when she talks to her. My cousin is here. You are both girls, so it's a good time to persuade her. Since my cousin was named the county lady and the princess, my sixth sister has been showing off everywhere, saying that my cousin is the princess Jiarou..."
