Concubine Xu was somewhat skeptical about the truthfulness of Su Jinxiu's words, and was thinking in her heart whether she should tell her father about this matter. The Zhen family and the Xu family had already been in-laws for a long time, and if the Zhen family really made a big mistake, it would inevitably implicate their Xu family. What's more, her father also said that if they really wanted to accomplish great things, they could not do without the help of the Zhen family.
"Your Highness, Aunt Zhang who is beside my mother followed Madam Zhen to the General's Mansion and came back to report that they don't take our royal family seriously. I wanted to let my father know, but he was angry with me and didn't want to see me. So, I can only come to ask Concubine Xu, hoping that Concubine Xu can say a few good words for me in front of my father. After all, this matter is not only related to my marriage, but also to the face of our royal family."
She had thought about these high-sounding words over and over again while waiting at the palace gate. When she said them out loud now, her grief and anger had already faded a lot, but her crying still made people feel a little pity for her.
"Since this is the truth, we have to find a solution. Should we ask the Emperor to find General Zhen, or should we just cancel the engagement?"
Concubine Xu squatted on the ground, holding the hand of Su Jinxiu who was kneeling on the ground, and gave her earnest advice.
How could she stand idly by when it came to the family behind her? However, she didn't know what attitude she should take regarding the marriage between the Zhen family and the royal family.
Marrying into the royal family is a favor from the emperor, which can increase the emperor's trust in the Zhen family and the Xu family. However, the object of the marriage is Su Jinxiu, which makes her hesitate. In the past two years in the palace, she has also watched her actions with cold eyes. Being petty and pretentious is not a good thing to marry into anyone's family.
After much thought, Concubine Xu decided to ask her father what he thought.
"Princess, calm down first and go back to discuss with the Imperial Concubine. Do you want this marriage or do you want to ruin it? If you want it, we have a way to make it happen. If you don't want it, we can find a way to ruin it. Do you think this is okay?"
Concubine Xu quietly suggested that by giving Su Jinxiu time to consider, she was actually buying time for herself.
When Concubine Xu asked this, Su Jinxiu was stunned. She really had never thought about how to deal with this marriage. She just felt angry and wanted to vent. She wanted to ask her father to deal with the Zhen family.
But after what Concubine Xu said today, she was a little confused. If the Zhen family was really dealt with, who would she marry
My father has already made it clear that he will not find a noble family for me. If I don't marry Zhen Junran, do I have to marry that poor scholar
My father has made up his mind not to let me marry into the Great Zhou. If my husband is from Bei'an, except for Chu Nanfeng, no one can compare to Zhen Junran, because he is the only son of General An Guo.
When the emperor had arranged the marriage, she and her mother were excited for a long time. She herself couldn't understand why this originally good match had turned out like this.
What should she do
"Mother Xu, I will go back and think about it carefully. When I figure it out, I will come to see you again. I..." No matter how she felt about Concubine Xu before, Su Jinxiu was grateful to her at this moment. Her words could be said to be a wake-up call.
"Your mother is also a person who has experienced a lot. If you are unsure about anything, you can go and ask her. She will not harm you." Concubine Xu struck while the iron was hot and said only heartwarming words. Su Jinxiu was naturally very grateful.
Su Jinxiu didn't want to delay any longer. She wanted to discuss with her mother what would be the best option for her.
As soon as Su Jinxiu left, Concubine Xu sent a message to her mother's home, the Xu Mansion.
It's not just about Su Jinxiu's matter, her own situation in the palace has also changed, and she needs her father to give her guidance.
