A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

At the same time, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen came out of the private room next door. She was wearing a scarlet skirt embroidered with lilies and honeysuckle, and she looked dignified, noble and proud.

Su Zhilan recognized this person. She was Wang Jinyao, the legitimate daughter of the Wang family. Her father was Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Justice.

"Lancao, I asked you to come and remind me, why haven't you gone back yet?"

Wang Jinyao walked to the maid named Lancao and looked into the inner room.

When she saw that it was Su Zhilan, Wang Jinyao frowned unconsciously.

"It turns out to be Miss Su. I kindly remind you that you are now the Song family's daughter-in-law. When you speak and act outside, please do not bring shame to the Song family."

He looked condescending and looked down on Su Zhilan.

Then he shook his head and said to himself, "With such character and family background, how can she be worthy of my third cousin?"

Su Yuanyi wanted to speak but was stopped by Su Zhilan.

At this time, several young ladies came out of the private room next door. They were obviously on good terms with Wang Jinyao, and they looked at Su Zhilan and her brother with disdain.

Su Zhilan was not unhappy, but took a few steps forward, walked to the door and asked Wang Jinyao.

"Sister is the daughter of the Wang family, so she must be of noble status. Her character and moral conduct are impeccable."

Wang Jinyao raised her chin slightly, not commenting on Su Zhilan's words. There was no need to be modest about this, it was a recognized fact in Beijing.

Then Su Zhilan asked in confusion: "Why didn't my sister get engaged to the King of Loyalty and Bravery?"

She had a baby face and her tone of voice when she asked questions was extremely sincere, without any sarcasm or ridicule.

Just simply asking.

But it was this sentence that made Wang Jinyao change her expression.

She and Song Hongshen had discussed marriage before. The Song family was willing, and so was she. But her mother was not very satisfied, and disliked Song Hongshen because he was born out of wedlock. Seeing that the Wang family was hesitant, the Song family did not mention the matter again.

Later, Song Hongshen returned victorious and was crowned king for his military exploits. Her mother wanted to discuss marriage with the Song family again, but before she could bring it up, the Marquis of Loyalty announced the marriage between the Song and Su families in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Wang Jinyao was unwilling to accept the decision, but no matter how unwilling she was, what could she do? The Song family had already arranged the marriage, and she had no chance.

But if she was engaged to someone else, it would be fine, but how could the young lady from the third branch of the Su family be worthy of my cousin?

The more she looked at Su Zhilan, the more unwilling she felt.

Su Zhilan saw that she didn't say anything, and her calm eyes showed confusion.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Isn't Madam Song Miss Wang's aunt? Why don't you talk to Madam Song and tell her that I have a bad character. Maybe the Song family will cancel the engagement."

Su Zhilan was giving Wang Jinyao some serious advice, but Wang Jinyao heard it as sarcasm. She was sarcasm that even if she was related to the Song family, it would be useless because she still couldn't marry into the family.

In fact, she was wronging Su Zhilan. Su Zhilan wanted the Song family to cancel the engagement. She also wanted to go to sea with Su Shunci. She had made up her mind. She didn't know how to do business, but she knew how to build and repair ships. If the fourth sister made money, she could just give her some.

Wang Jinyao was so angry that she blurted out, "Even if we cancel the engagement, you were the one who took the initiative. A family like yours, the Su family, shouldn't have agreed to this marriage. You are overestimating your own abilities."

Su Yuanyi snorted, "What kind of family background is the Su family?"

Someone nearby sneered and whispered sarcastically, "Do you even need to ask this? There's not even one person in the family who can have a say in the court, let alone real power."

Su Yuanyi clenched his fists, but he also admitted that what these people said was true. Even if he came to Japan to study, it would take more than ten years or even decades for him to gain a firm foothold in the court and let the Su family squeeze into the center of power.

He made up his mind to study hard. He was now the heir of Pingning Marquisate, so he naturally shouldered the responsibility of revitalizing the Marquisate.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the other ladies advised Wang Jinyao, "Sister Wang, why bother getting angry with them? Some people are still chickens even if they marry into a phoenix's nest."

Su Yuanyi became completely enraged upon hearing this, and was about to stand up for his sister when he saw a man walking hurriedly over from a distance with a happy look on his face.

Su Yuanyi recognized the man as Lai Gui, a servant of the Su family.

Lai Gui ran out of breath, "Third Young Master, Fifth Young Miss, you...you should return home quickly. This is a great event, a huge event."

Su Yuanyi was puzzled, "What's the happy event?"

The people around were also watching curiously, and someone said mockingly: "What kind of happy event can the Su family have? It's just that the shop received money, or the family farm had a good harvest."

Lai Gui took a deep breath and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is the son of our Marquis. Third Young Master, please go back quickly. The palace is discussing the matter of His Royal Highness Prince Ning returning to his ancestral home."

After Lai Gui finished speaking, Su Yuanyi and Su Zhilan were stunned and froze in place. Su Yuanyi thought, the Su family's ancestral tomb was emitting green smoke, and the ancestors appeared in spirit.

Not only the siblings, but everyone else present was shocked and looked incredulous.

Everyone knows that Prince Ning is looking for his biological parents, but why is it the Su family? Is it true, or is the Su family just making it up to get some benefits?

Su Yuanyi also asked, "Is this true? Has it been confirmed?"

Lai Gui nodded, "It has been confirmed. The genius doctor Mr. Zhou has verified the relationship between Prince Ning and our Marquis in front of the emperor. His Royal Highness Prince Ning is indeed of the Su family bloodline."

Now, everyone looked at Su Yuanyi and Su Zhilan with only jealousy in their eyes.

What kind of luck did the Su family have?

The one who felt the most ironic was Wang Jinyao. As soon as she said that the Su family was of low status, the Su family's status was raised in an instant.

The few people who spoke earlier seemed to have been slapped in the face.

Su Yuanyi came back to his senses and asked Wang Jinyao, "Is the Su family's status worthy of the Song family now?"

Wang Jinyao was speechless. She turned around, flicked her skirt and went back to the private room. The others also left in shame.

Su Yuanyi shrugged at Su Zhilan, "We don't need to eat anymore, let's go back."

Su Zhilan turned around and went to the table to pack up her things, leaving the door of the private room open.

Su Yuanyi asked casually, "This Miss Wang seems to be attracted to the King Zhongyong, what do you think?"

His original intention was to talk to his sister about the inner house first. Song Hongshen, with his status, would be surrounded by many beautiful women. He had to teach his sister how to survive in the inner house.

He thought Su Zhilan would say something like, "Put on the airs of a lady of the house."

Unexpectedly, Su Zhilan smiled slyly, "It's just right that she likes him. It's best to persuade the Song family to cancel the engagement."

"Brother, if I cancel this marriage, can I go to sea with my fourth sister?"

Su Yuanyi patted her head and said, "What are you thinking about? If mother knew you were thinking this, she would tie you up immediately."

Su Zhilan didn't care. She hoped that Wang Jinyao could fight for her reputation and let the Song family cancel the engagement tomorrow.

After packing up their things, the brother and sister walked out of the private room one after another.

In the private room opposite, Song Hongshen stood at the door, and could just see the corridor and the house opposite through the gap in the window.

Mu Shan, the servant beside him, whispered, "Your Highness, you want to cancel the engagement. I see that Miss Su also wants to cancel the engagement. Isn't this just right? Why don't you go and discuss it with Miss Su?"

Song Hongshen's eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

It took a long while before he spoke.

"Go home."
