Rebirth with my ex-husband

Chapter 50

"He wants to take a concubine, and he came to your house to propose marriage. The one he is talking about is you, Sixth Sister."

When Su Yun heard his sister-in-law's words, he was shocked and looked astonished.

Su Yun had heard about what kind of person Liang Yong, the prince of Dinghuai King of Shaozhou, was, even though he seldom went out in his previous life.

In his previous life, Liang Yong stayed in Jindu for two years. A girl in the city committed suicide because her innocence was defiled by him, and the incident caused quite a stir.

Later, the emperor could no longer tolerate him, so he abolished his title as the crown prince and sent him back to Shaozhou. He also sent people to keep an eye on him. If he made another mistake, there would be no more arguments and he would be directly imprisoned.

Seeing that Su Yun was a little confused, Shen comforted her: "Don't worry, when that bastard came to propose marriage just now, your father-in-law directly rejected it. Your brother was afraid that someone would gossip about you, so he asked me to come and tell you first to ease your mind."

Su Yun came back to her senses, looked at her sister-in-law, and asked in confusion: "Why did Prince Dinghuai suddenly come to propose marriage?"

"I heard from mother that the prince of Dinghuai also went to the polo field yesterday."

Su Yun closed her eyes and took a deep breath to ease the uneasiness caused by this incident.

Shen hesitated for a moment, then said, "There is one more thing."

Su Yun opened her eyes and looked at her sister-in-law.

Shen explained: "In order to reject the Prince of Dinghuai, my father-in-law said that you already have a man you like, and as a father, he can't break up the couple. The Prince of Dinghuai asked who it was, but my father didn't tell him, so he left in anger."

Su Yun heard this and pondered for a while.

Although the father does not care much about his children, he is not the kind of person who uses his children to curry favor with others.

But since her father could tell her that she already had a man she liked, he would definitely ask the mistress to arrange a marriage for her in the near future.

Shen patted her shoulder gently and said, "Your brother said that he will help you and will not let you marry randomly."

Su Yun felt relieved when she heard this. Her elder brother knew about her relationship with Gu Shixing, so he would definitely help her keep a close eye on things and help her solve the problem of getting married.

For the first time, Su Yun felt that Gu Shixing was right to tell his elder brother about this.

In front, after Liang Yong left, Shangshu Su's smiling face suddenly turned dark.

Madam Liu who was sitting next to him was so angry that she spat out, "Bah! He didn't even ask what kind of reputation he has in Jindu City. It's rotten to the point of being rotten. He actually thinks he's popular and everyone will stick to him! It sounds nice to say that you're his concubine, but everyone knows that if you become his concubine, he will abandon you when he gets tired of you and take in a new concubine!"

Su Changqing's face also turned dark.

After hearing what Gu Shixing sent Mo Tai to say to him yesterday, he became fully prepared and told others to keep an eye on the front. If Liang Yong came, they should talk to him first.

I didn't expect that someone would come today after I just reminded him yesterday.

Madam Liu became angrier and angrier as she thought about it: "Even if our Su family's daughter is not good enough, she cannot be someone else's concubine and ruin her reputation, let alone someone like that."

Su Changqing advised: "Mother, please be careful with your words."

After all, the Su Mansion cannot afford to offend the Dinghuai Palace. Although it is almost offended today, at least the Su Mansion still has the relationship with the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, so the Dinghuai Palace dare not target it openly.

Madam Liu sighed and replied, "I understand."

Minister Su sneered and said angrily, "What the hell is this?"

Madam Liu and her son looked at each other. They both knew very well that he had little feelings for the sixth girl, so they asked why he was so angry.

Marquis Gu of the Marquis Zhongyi's Mansion is a man of integrity. Her husband can be on good terms with Marquis Gu, so his character is naturally good. So how could he possibly look down on someone like Liang Yong?

"Father, the prince of Dinghuai has always been absurd, I'm afraid he won't give up so easily. If the news of what he brought up to Sixth Sister today gets out, I'm afraid no one will dare to come to propose marriage again in the future."

Minister Su thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Just do your job well."

After saying that, he stood up and left the main hall.

Su Changqing sighed. How could he not worry about Sixth Sister's affairs? Not to mention that Gu Shixing also told him yesterday to take good care of Sixth Sister.

After agreeing yesterday, I realized that he would definitely protect his sister well, so why did he need to remind her?

There's nothing going on between him and Sixth Sister, but he takes it for granted. I really want to mock him.

Su Changqing stood up, said something to his mother, and left the main hall. He then returned to the study, wrote a letter, and called Bei Yan, asking him to deliver the letter to Marquis Zhongyi's Mansion and give it to Prince Gu.

Before Gu Shixing received the letter, he heard the secret guards say that Liang Yong went to the Su Mansion and brought two loads of gifts. Although the gifts were returned, everyone who understood knew what his purpose was in going to the Su Mansion.

When Mo Tai got the letter from Bei Yan, he probably knew what Young Master Su had written in the letter. So when he gave the letter to the prince, he had already thought about finding a few good fighters to go to the brothel at night, put a sack on Liang Yong, and beat him up.

How could he even dream of such a good girl like Miss Su Liu? !

There is a great possibility that Sixth Miss Su will become the wife of their prince. How could a lowly scoundrel like him dream of that?

Mo Tai thought angrily that Liang Yong was simply seeking death.

Gu Shixing opened the letter, glanced at it, and then put it on the table, with cold eyes, pursed lips and no words.

Mo Tai asked quietly, "My Lord, how about I call a few people now, and in the evening..."

The rest of the words were not finished, but the meaning was clear.

Gu Shixing raised his eyes and glanced at him, pouring cold water on him: "Others will think that it was done by the Su family."

Mo Tai's originally sinister and restless expression suddenly changed: "But he has a crush on Miss Su Liu."

Gu Shixing slowly folded up the letter that was on the table, and then spoke slowly: "I will make him completely give up this idea and regret it completely."

His voice was a little chilly.

*

The news that Liang Yong had brought gifts to the Su Mansion spread throughout Jindu City in just one day. The Sixth Miss of the Su Mansion was better looking than the other sisters and was also outstanding in Jindu City, so they naturally knew what Liang Yong was up to.

Others only dared to talk about Liang Yong's absurdity in secret, but at the same time they felt sympathy for the sixth daughter of the Su family, who was unlucky enough to be favored by him.

Perhaps it was because Liang Yong's reputation was too bad that others only sympathized with Miss Su Liu and did not smear him.

At night, in the main courtyard of the Su Mansion.

Minister Su washed his feet. After the servant brought the basin away, he leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking.

Madam Liu asked him, "Are you thinking about Sixth Girl?"

Minister Su nodded and said, "You are right today. No matter what happens, the daughter of the Su family will not end up being someone else's concubine."

Madam Liu took off her slippers, got into the bed, and sat in almost the same position as her husband. She said, "Our family is not the kind of family that expects their daughter to marry into a wealthy family in exchange for wealth and glory, and pushes their daughter into a pit of fire even though they know it is a pit of fire."

Madam Liu was not a good person, but she was not a bad person either. She would scold and punish concubines, but she did not really hope that they would marry badly.

Minister Su looked at her, smiled, then stopped smiling and said helplessly, "I said today that the sixth girl already has a lover. Although it is an excuse, I have to make it true, so that Liang Yong won't use it as an excuse."

Madam Liu thought for a moment and said, "How about I take a look secretly tomorrow and arrange a marriage for the sixth girl?"

Minister Su thought for a moment and said, "The Spring Examination is over and the list will be out in the next two days. I will see if there is anyone suitable among the Jinshi candidates on the list."

Madam Liu nodded, "That's right. A Jinshi has a reputation after all. It doesn't matter if his family background is a little thin. What matters is that he has good character. By the way, if the sixth girl wants to find a husband, the fifth girl cannot be left out. After all, there is a hierarchy of seniority. We can't skip the fifth girl and directly find a husband for the sixth girl."

Minister Su replied: "Okay, I'll see if there are any outstanding young men, and then invite them back to the palace."

Su Yun had been distracted these days because of Liang Yong's marriage proposal. She was also afraid that Liang Yong was still watching her, so she didn't go to the manor to see her this month. She only sent someone to tell her that she had caught a cold and she would go to see her when she got better.

The manor is some distance away from Jindu, and I don't like to leave the manor. With He Mama watching over her, the news that Liang Yong went to the Su Mansion to propose marriage would not reach my ears.

These days, Su Yun felt bored and miserable.

This day Chu Yi came back from outside and brought back good news.

"The list of successful candidates for the Spring Examination was posted the day before yesterday, and Luo Langjun made the list. Although he is not among the top three, it is rare to be on the list."

Su Yun felt better after hearing the news, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Lord Luo has finally made it through." Having said that, he instructed Chu Yi: "When you go out in a few days, take ten taels of silver to him as a red envelope, and I won't give him any gifts."

It was inappropriate for her to give gifts to men outside her family before she got married.

Chu Yi responded, but then said: "Miss, now that Mr. Luo has become a Jinshi, can Miss Luo still manage the shop?"

Su Yun: "After half a year, I will let Miss Luo take care of it in the back, and she won't have to go to the front shop anymore."

This doesn't have much impact.

After Chu Yi said this, he recalled what he heard outside, and a look of deep worry appeared on his face: "Miss, it's said outside that Prince Dinghuai has taken a fancy to you..."

No one in the mansion was allowed to discuss the purpose of Liang Yong's visit that day, and Shen was also secretly trying to comfort Su Yun.

Su Yun sighed softly when she mentioned this. She could never have imagined that in this life, she had avoided being caught in bed and married into a marquis' mansion, but Liang Yong, the prince of Dinghuai, appeared.

Although I know that my father and brother would not let me marry such a man, I still feel sick at the thought of being targeted by him.

"Don't pay attention to those gossips." She had heard countless gossips in her previous life, but now these gossips didn't have much impact on her.

Chu Yi lowered her voice and complained indignantly for her master: "That Prince Dinghuai is really shameless, as if everyone wants to be his concubine."

If other families really wanted to take a concubine, they would also communicate with each other in private. But they would not be like him. If it succeeds, they would not say anything, but if it fails, it would affect the girl's reputation!

At this point, Chu Yi spoke unconsciously: "Then Prince Gu is really much better than Prince Dinghuai."

Hearing Chu Yi compare the two, Su Yun frowned slightly: "He is not worthy of being compared with Master Gu."

Chu Yi opened her eyes wide in surprise. This was the first time she heard her own daughter speak for Master Gu.

Seeing her surprised expression, Su Yun said unhappily, "I am also telling the truth. Prince Gu is a gentleman if he doesn't say anything else. As for Prince Dinghuai... it's better not to say anything."

Putting aside Gu Shixing's previous cold and aloof personality, in all aspects, Gu Shixing was the cloud in the sky, while Liang Yong was just the mud on the ground and could not be compared with them.

As the master and servant were talking, Asakusa knocked on the door and said, "Miss, the master wants you to go to the front courtyard to receive guests."

Su Yun thought that it might be because of Liang Yong’s matter, so he didn’t ask any more questions and went to the front yard with Chu Yi.
