720 Peach Blossom Luck (5)
It was not appropriate for men to sit there and listen to women talking, so Shen Xin and the others stood up and left. Only Luo Xueyan and Mrs. Su were left in the main hall. Luo Xueyan smiled and asked, “Mrs. Su, what brought you here today?”
Mrs. Su said seriously, “Have you thought about what I told you a few days ago?”
Luo Xueyan was stunned. What did they talk about a few days ago? Was it about the marriage between Su Mingfeng and Shen Miao?
Luo Xueyan couldn’t help but feel a little frightened. She said, “Mrs. Su, did you not hear the rumors recently?”
!!
Mrs. Su asked, “What rumors?”
Luo Xueyan said truthfully, “The rumor that the Crown Prince wants to marry my daughter.”
“I see, so you are talking about that rumor,” Mrs. Su smiled and said, “I heard about it. Miss Shen is so beautiful and outstanding that even the royal family likes her.”
When Mrs. Su said this, her expression was natural. Luo Xueyan, on the other hand, was confused. Was Mrs. Su too bold? Did she not understand what the royal family meant, or did she not care at all?
“After hearing about this, are you still considering the marriage between Young Master Su and my daughter?” Luo Xueyan asked.
“Of course I am.” Mrs. Su nodded. “I’m not an unreasonable person. Just because my son likes your daughter doesn’t mean others can’t like your daughter.”
Luo Xueyan felt that Mrs. Su might have misunderstood something, so she made it clear to her in detail. She said, “The Crown Prince intends to marry my daughter. Since we’re all mothers, I won’t hide it from you. My daughter doesn’t want to be a secondary consort, so she wants to get married before that. However, since this rumor has already spread, those men who intend to marry her previously changed their minds. Mrs. Su, I think you understand that whoever marries my daughter at this time is going against the royal family. If the royal family is angered, no one will have a good time… Mrs. Su, do you understand what I mean now? Do you still want your son to marry my daughter?”
Her words were sincere and she didn’t hide anything. Su slowly smiled and said, “Madam, do you think I’m a fool who can’t even understand this?”
Luo Xueyan was even more confused now. Since Mrs. Su understood the disadvantages, why did she insist on his son marrying Shen Miao? Wasn’t the Su family afraid of getting into trouble? 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂
“I won’t hide it from you either, Madam.” Mrs. Su said with a smile, “The situation in the capital is too complicated now. In the past two years, the Earl of Pingnan has already withdrawn from the imperial court. Speaking of which, since we’ve already quit officialdom, we don’t have so many worries. I proposed this marriage, so I naturally am aware of the pros and cons. However, there is nothing I can do since my son likes Fifth Miss Shen.”
Luo Xueyan widened her eyes and asked subconsciously, “Likes my daughter?”
“Of course.” Mrs. Su said, “If Mingfeng didn’t like Fifth Miss Shen, why would I keep pestering you?” She sighed. “I’ve never seen Mingfeng like any girl, but I know that he is stubborn. Once he makes up his mind, he won’t change. Since he likes Fifth Miss Shen, he won’t like any other girls in the future.” Madam Su lowered her head and looked at her fingertips. “Because of the Su family’s decision to not get involved in the imperial court, Mingfeng can only hide at home and can’t make a name for himself in the officialdom. We’ve already let him down. If we can’t help him marry the girl he likes, my husband and I will feel guilty.”
