After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Chapter 423: Tao is ruthless but also full of affection (5)

Su Yinyue was arranged to live in the same courtyard with Su Yinhua. She sat alone in the room, looking dazed, and subconsciously stroked the silver bracelet on her wrist.

This was the storage magic tool that An Jueran gave her before he left, and it also contained some pills and spirit stones.

When Su Yinyue heard outsiders mention her marriage, An Jueran's figure immediately appeared in her mind.

But she understood that their farewell that day was almost a farewell forever, and now that she had left Zhuangzi and came to the capital, they would never have the chance to meet again!

At this moment, Su Yinyue felt indescribable loss and sadness. She understood that even if she did not obey her family's arrangements and get married, she would never get what she wanted.

"...An Jueran." Su Yinyue called softly.

In the evening, Su Yinyue finally met her father Su Yuanfeng and Old Master Su, her grandfather Su Yecheng, in the hall of the main courtyard.

After dinner, Su Yinyue concluded that the one who had the final say in the Su family was still Old Master Su. Su Yecheng brought up Su Yinyue's marriage on the spot and asked Su Yuanfeng to settle it as soon as possible.

Everyone at the dinner table seemed to know that the reason Su Yinyue was brought back to the Su Mansion was for her marriage with Minister Lu’s second son, Lu Lin.

When Su Yinyue looked up, she saw Su Yinxue looking at her with a gloating expression. She raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this marriage was really wrong!

After dinner, all the masters of the Su family returned to their own courtyards.

In the room in the main courtyard——

Madam Su was talking to Old Master Su about Su Yinyue: "...The fourth daughter of the old family is really beyond my expectations. She is very beautiful and her temperament is not much worse than that of a lady from a wealthy family. She doesn't look like a child raised in the countryside at all..."

Old Master Su was also a little surprised when he saw Su Yinyue today, but this unexpected good thing was also a good thing: "... It's just right, so you don't have to arrange someone to teach her. The Lu family must be satisfied to see us pick such a granddaughter to marry into their family, and the eldest brother's official position will also be settled..."

Madam Su nodded, and called in Nanny Su beside her, and instructed: "Tomorrow you will arrange for someone to teach the fourth young lady the rules. She grew up in the countryside, so she definitely doesn't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and she probably doesn't even know how to read. Let the first lady arrange for her to go to school with the other sisters to study..."

"Yes."

After a while, the eldest lady asked the maid to politely send away Nanny Su who came to deliver the message. Su Yinxue beside her could not help but sneered and said sarcastically:

"A country girl wants to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can't even read. I don't think grandma should bother with this. Isn't it enough to just marry her off?"

Although Su Yinfeng's eyes were also filled with disdain, she guessed what Old Madam Su meant and said, "Mother, Grandmother probably wants this girl to attend the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet hosted by Princess Duanning in half a month. That day... Madam Lu will also be there!"

The eldest lady nodded and said, "Lu Shangshu is the Minister of Personnel. Your father has been a fifth-rank official for so many years. Whether he can be promoted depends on this time. This marriage must be completed, but Madam Lu has never agreed to it before she saw Su Yinyue. This chrysanthemum viewing banquet is a good opportunity. It would be good for Madam Lu to meet her..."

The first lady was naturally unhappy with a concubine's daughter with outstanding appearance, but she had to admit that this was a good thing for them now. Compared with the big event of marrying into the Lu family, this "displeasure" was insignificant.

The eldest lady looked at Su Yinxue and said, "Yinxue, the purpose of Princess Duan Ning's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet this time is to choose a wife for her son. You must seize the opportunity. How is your piano practice going?"

"Mother, Li Mu is a useless guy with crippled legs. I don't want to marry him!" Su Yinxue complained with a pout.

"Third sister, Prince Duan Ning is the uncle of the current emperor. The emperor has always treated Prince Duan Ning with great courtesy and favors. Prince Duan Ning has only one legitimate son. If you marry Li Mu, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."

Su Yinhua advised, "...if you marry into Prince Duan Ning's Mansion, then father won't have to bother to let Su Yinyue marry into the Lu Mansion. You will be father's greatest supporter."

In Aunt Hui’s room——

Su Yinhua was also talking to her mother about the Chrysanthemum Viewing Banquet: "...Su Yinxue has been practicing the piano hard these days. The eldest lady must want her to shine at the Chrysanthemum Viewing Banquet so that she can get the attention of Princess Duanning and choose her to marry Li Mu. Su Yinyue was also arranged to marry the son of the Minister of Personnel. Only for me, my father chose a down-and-out scholar as my husband..." Su Yinhua's words were filled with self-pity.

Aunt Hui comforted her, "Yinhua, Zhang Xiucai is a talent that your father values, and that's why your father agreed to this marriage. As for Su Yinyue, the second son of the Minister of Personnel, he is not only a bastard, but also tyrannical. There are rumors that his first two wives were abused by him. Who in the capital would be willing to marry him? Only Su Yinyue, a country girl who knows nothing..."

"What about Prince Duan Ning's Mansion? Su Yinxue is such an arrogant young lady. How can she compare to me in terms of appearance and talent? Why does she have the opportunity to marry into Prince Duan Ning's Mansion, while I can only marry a poor scholar?"

Su Yinhua's face darkened, and she clenched her fists on her knees. "No, I must fight for my future!"

On the other side, Su Yinyue, who was practicing in the room, released her spiritual sense and heard everything that happened in the Su Mansion clearly. Naturally, she also heard the plans of these people.

She opened her eyes and sighed secretly. It would be great if she could fake her death and leave the Su Mansion without implicate Aunt Wang and her son. Even if she would never meet An Jueran again, she hoped that she would not be trapped in the backyard for the rest of her life, but could travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, learn medical skills, and practice medicine to save lives.

For a period of time afterwards, Su Yinyue went to the clan's school together with Su Yinhua and Su Yinxue. Su Yinxue led her peers in the clan to isolate Su Yinyue, and the teachers also ignored Su Yinyue intentionally or unintentionally.

Su Yinyue felt relieved when they ignored her, otherwise she would have to bother dealing with them.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet, and the eldest lady specially sent clothes and jewelry.

Su Yinyue, who had dressed up, appeared in front of everyone, and her bright and dazzling outfit once again amazed everyone present.

"Let's go." The eldest lady led Su Yinyue and the other two into the carriage.

When they arrived at Prince Duanning's Mansion, the eldest lady and others were led by the servants to the back garden. Several ladies had already arrived, including Minister Lu's wife.

The eldest lady's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked Su Yinyue to follow her and walked forward with a smile.

"Mrs. Su is here..."

"Mrs. Su..."

The eldest lady greeted everyone with a smile, and took the opportunity to introduce Su Yinyue and the other two to the ladies.

She held Su Yinyue's hand affectionately and said to Madam Lu beside her: "Madam Lu, this is my little daughter Yinyue. She was raised in my hometown a few days ago and just returned home recently... Yinyue, why don't you pay your respects quickly!"

Su Yinyue knew that if she did something bad at this time, she could indeed just walk away, but Aunt Wang and her son would definitely not have an easy time. Although she had no feelings for these two people, she did not want to implicate innocent people.

She smiled slightly, stepped forward and bowed: "Mrs. Lu."

Mrs. Lu was startled by Su Yinyue's outstanding appearance, and was surprised to see her calm and dignified temperament.

She knew exactly what kind of person that bastard was. Not only did she know it, but the noble ladies in the capital also knew it exactly. So families with good family backgrounds would not marry their daughters to him. She could only choose from families with lesser family backgrounds.

The Su family was one of them, but when the Su family hinted at using their concubine's daughter to marry, Minister Lu was dissatisfied. The Lu family was a noble family, and he was the Minister of Personnel. Although Lu Lin was a concubine's son, he was very much loved by him. The Su family was just a commoner family that was not even clean enough, yet they actually wanted to use a concubine's daughter to build relationships.

Mrs. Lu naturally understood what her husband meant, so she was always indifferent to the Su family and neither agreed nor disagreed with the marriage.

She never expected that the concubine's daughter that the Su family pushed out to build connections was actually quite good. With such appearance and temperament, not to mention outshining the other two daughters of the Su family around her, she could be said to outshine all the women present.

Mrs. Lu looked at Su Yinyue carefully, and the smile on her face deepened. She took Su Yinyue's hand and began to ask tentatively. Su Yinyue's answers and neither humble nor arrogant attitude made Mrs. Lu very satisfied.

After a long while, Princess Duan Ning finally arrived at the scene. The show was about to begin, and Su Yinxue and Su Yinhua were both eager to try.
