Su Yue frowned and said slowly: "I always feel that something bad is going to happen."

Hearing this, Ren Dong began to feel uneasy. "Miss, do you think the eldest and second young ladies will harm you?"

"This is inevitable. There's no need to think about it. They always wish that I would have a hard time. I just don't know what tricks they will use to deal with me." Su Yue fell into deep thought after she finished speaking.

If the plot had developed according to the book, the original owner would have lost her innocence by now and would have stayed in Qingyou Garden crying all day long, because she would soon be marrying into the Zhou family.

But now it’s different. She has changed the plot, and she doesn’t know how the Su family will deal with her next.

Su Yue suddenly felt a little annoyed. The unknown was not a good thing. The plot changed too much, causing her to lose understanding of the enemy. Moreover, the Su Yao brother and sister were the upright protagonists created by the author, and all the plots were designed to serve them.

Su Yue was about to scratch the back of her head impatiently. Seeing this, Rendong quickly grabbed Su Yue's restless hand.

"Miss, I have worked so hard to comb your hair. If you mess it up, I will have to spend more time combing it again."

Su Yue said helplessly: "Forget it, forget it. When enemies come, we will fight them with soldiers. When water comes, we will block it with earth. There is no point in worrying so much. Rendong, you are responsible for fetching water. Mammy, go get a few more basins. Let's make more ice cubes while we have time."

Jin Dong and Mammy took the order and left, and the room suddenly became quiet. Su Yue sat in the armchair, her eyes wandering, still thinking about the possible means that the brother and sister might use.

Soon, Honeysuckle and Nanny came back. Su Yue then came back to her senses and took them to the house to start making ice cubes.

Before long, a slight coolness gradually filled the house, quickly dispelling the heat that was not suitable for this season.

At the same time, in the courtyard of the Peony Garden, Zhou Ruoxue, her mother and her two sons had made their decision.

Su Zelin looked very proud: "Mother, sister, as long as father agrees to this plan, Su Yue will definitely obey. After all, the marriage of children should be decided by parents."

Su Yao couldn't wait to say: "Then let's get started quickly. I can't wait to see Su Yue's miserable appearance. But brother, I think it's too cheap for Su Yue to be the wife. Why not let her be a concubine?"

Zhou Ruoxue frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Yao'er, you are a boudoir girl, don't always mention bitches.

What if you get used to saying it and blurt it out in public, and all the ladies and rich girls will say behind your back that you have no manners, and then you will be the one crying."

Even Su Zelin nodded in agreement: "Mother is right, sister, you really need to change this bad habit.

As for not letting Su Yue be a concubine, it was because she had a great general's mansion behind her. Although they didn't seem to support Su Yue, if Su Yue became a concubine, it would tarnish their reputation, and it would not be worthwhile to cause trouble for the Su family at that time."

Su Yao knew that Zhou Ruoxue and Su Zelin were doing this for her own good, so she said with a grin, "Okay, I understand. I won't say it again in the future. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go find our father now."

Zhou Ruoxue nodded: "Well, I'll go tell your father, you guys wait here for my news, otherwise your father will think that the three of us, mother and son, are colluding to harm his daughter."

"Then mother, please come back soon. Your son and sister will be waiting for you here." Su Zelin also felt that what Zhou Ruoxue said made sense, so he nodded in response.

In the study, Su Yuanwang was asking Butler Su how the investigation of the past two days was going.

But Steward Su shook his head with a look of shame, saying that there was no clue at all in the mansion, and even the officials from Jingzhao Prefecture could not find any traces.

This made Su Yuanwang very worried. The more he couldn't find the truth, the more powerful the forces behind it were.

Su Yuanwang was puzzled. Who wanted to punish him? Could it be the emperor? That shouldn't be possible. When the new emperor first ascended the throne, their Su family stood on the side of the new emperor.

I haven't made any big mistakes during this period of time. It can't be that I will be abandoned after the rabbit dies, right?

At this time, the servant who was guarding the door of the study came in and reported: "Master, the mistress is here, and she said she has something important to discuss."

When Su Yuanwang heard this, he had a bad feeling. Could it be that something happened in the backyard again? He waved his hand, asked Butler Su to leave, and told him to continue investigating, and then asked the servants to let Zhou Ruoxue in.

Zhou Ruoxue quickly came in with a bowl of ginseng soup, "Master, you have worked hard. I have stewed a bowl of ginseng soup for you. Drink it while it is hot."

Su Yuanwang said as he sorted out the documents on the desk, "Madam, don't tell me that you came to the study to see your husband just for this bowl of ginseng soup."

Zhou Ruoxue smiled slightly and walked forward. After placing the ginseng soup on the table, she explained, "Of course not. I know that the master is usually busy with official duties. I dare not disturb him if it is not important."

Su Yuan looked at Zhou Ruoxue's relaxed expression, and he also felt relieved. It seemed that it was not a bad thing. He took a sip of the ginseng soup and asked, "Then tell me what it is?"

Zhou Ruoxue walked behind Su Yuanwang and pinched his shoulders, then said as she did so: "This is what happened. Because Yue's mother's dowry was lost, I remembered that Yue is already seventeen years old.

If you don't get engaged, you will become an old maid. Then people will say that we don't value the eldest daughter born to the original wife, so I thought about finding someone to marry Yue girl. "

Su Yuanwang's heart moved, and he drank another sip of ginseng tea before continuing, "This makes sense. Does Madam have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Zhou Ruoxue stopped what she was doing and came to Su Yuanwang, with an extremely virtuous expression on her face.

"Master, our Yue'er's temper is getting weirder and weirder. I'm afraid that Yue'er will marry into a family with a higher status than ours. She will definitely be bullied for her temper.

But if she marries someone from a lower social class than us, I would not be willing to let her go, because she is the eldest daughter of our Su family.

So I thought about it and thought of a suitable candidate. One who would not bring down our family's status but also allow Yue Er to gain a foothold."

Su Yuanwang became interested when he heard this, "Oh? Is there any other family in Beijing that is so suitable for Yue'er?"

Zhou Ruoxue smiled and said, "What do you think of Li Ming, the third son of Duke Li's mansion?"

Su Yuanwang didn't expect that Zhou Ruoxue had the same idea in her mind as he did. He also thought it was a good idea for Su Yue to marry Li Ming, the third son of Duke Li's mansion.

In the future, the two families will become relatives, and Duke Li will help the Su family to some extent. If Su Zelin passes the exam, the help will be even greater.

In addition, Duke Li's family is very wealthy. If Su Yue brings a dowry of hundreds of thousands of taels, Duke Li will also have to give a lot of betrothal gifts to the Su family, and the Su family will be able to solve their urgent problems at that time.

The more Su Yuanwang thought about it, the better he felt. He stared into Zhou Ruoxue's eyes and asked, "But Madam, the third son of Duke Li is a fool."

Zhou Ruoxue felt a little weak after being stared at. She was afraid that Su Yuanwang would be unhappy, so she quickly explained: "Master, don't you think about Yue'er's temper now? If she were to marry someone else, if there were a big quarrel every three days and a small quarrel every two days, her in-laws would not be happy either.

Also, don't think that fools are bad. How can Yue quarrel with a fool? Besides, fools are loyal. As long as Yue treats Mr. Li well, Yue will have the final say in the third room.

Besides, a fool wouldn't ask for a concubine. If Yue'er gives birth to another child, Lord Li will definitely support our Yue'er."
