It was not until late at night when Zhen Junran was pushed into the bridal chamber that Su Jinxiu came back to her senses from her long memories.
The warmth of the past made her more aware of the bleakness of her current situation. She knew that she could no longer count on Ah Man. If she wanted to return to her past glory, she had to seize the opportunities in front of her, such as the reluctant groom in front of her.
Although he didn't like me, my status in Bei'an was indeed noble. Everyone knew that General Anguo was the emperor's right-hand man and loyal minister. And the husband I married was General Anguo's legitimate son and only son. General Anguo and his wife regarded him as a treasure.
As long as he and I are loving and harmonious, I can become someone who influences General Anguo's decision.
General An Guo has military power in his hands, and he...
Just thinking about the possibility that General An Guo would be able to use the 100,000 soldiers and horses at his disposal in the future, made Su Jinxiu so excited that she could not control herself.
At that time, who could look down on her? Even if she didn't want to pay attention to her father, he would probably have to be nice to her, right
When my father is gone, the successor will have to curry favor with her to get the support of the army in my father-in-law's hands. At that time, I will naturally not choose Su Jinxuan. My father is currently favoring Concubine Xu, and there will be many more concubines in the future. At that time, I can just support one of the emperor's brothers, and when he ascends the throne, I will be the unattainable eldest princess...
Even Ah Man would look up to me, right
Thinking about the beautiful future, Su Jinxiu finally stood up, walked to Zhen Junran's side, and said softly: "Husband, it's late, let's go to bed early."
"Every bride is waiting for her husband to lift her veil, but you are so impatient that you have even given up your dignity just to marry into our Zhen family."
Zhen Junran's words were straightforward and frank. Su Jinxiu then realized that she had lifted her veil without realizing it. She watched Zhen Junran come in, but she didn't...
"I didn't mean to, I forgot, I..."
Su Jinxiu looked aggrieved, her eyes filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Normally she would act like this to arouse people's sympathy. She was showing weakness now just to make Zhen Junran soften his heart.
Su Jinxiu also felt aggrieved, but her yearning for power and a better life in the future made her suppress the grievance in her heart. She also did not forget to comfort herself that once she realized her ideal, she would kick Zhen Junran away.
But now, she has not yet realized her dream, so naturally she has to try her best to please Zhen Junran.
But she didn't expect that her compromising flattery would only be met with disgust in Zhen Junran's eyes.
"Su Jinxiu, you don't have to pretend. I knew what kind of person you were when you were eight years old. It's useless to pretend to be weak in front of me."
"Husband, what are you talking about, you..."
Su Jinxiu didn't expect Zhen Junran to be so disrespectful to her. She felt even more aggrieved, but she kept persuading herself in her heart that she must endure it, endure it. Only by enduring the great grievances could she enjoy the tremendous wealth.
"Su Jinxiu, I have nothing to say to you. You don't have to think about our loving relationship. That's impossible. I married you because I couldn't disobey your order. But after today, I will never enter this bedroom again. We will go our separate ways."
After receiving the imperial edict, he made a fuss, but he stopped later because his mother told him that as long as he gave the emperor enough face and married Su Jinxiu, his family would not force him to do anything in the future.
He has always been a straightforward person. He would never flatter Su Jinxiu, so he told her all his plans.
Su Jinxiu had already made enough plans for the future, but she never expected it to turn out like this...
She didn't know how to respond for a moment, she just looked at Zhen Junran, the attentiveness in her eyes gradually faded away, leaving only coldness.
