The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

The next day, Su Qing had just finished lunch and was about to take a nap when Princess Shaohua came.

Princess Shaohua heard last night that Su Qing had moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, and also heard that the old lady of the Marquis had become ill due to anger. She was very worried and felt a little guilty, so she wanted to see Su Qing and trouble her with some things.

"Why are you here so late, Princess? But what's the matter?"

"You go down first. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

"Yes, Princess~" The maids in the room retreated one after another.

"Why are you being so secretive? Is it something shameful?"

"What are you thinking? I was afraid that the servants would gossip about me. Why did you move out suddenly?"

"I don't want to be bullied there."

"Okay. By the way, do you know Meng Zhiyuan, the daughter of Duke Meng?"

Su Qing went over it in her mind and seemed to have some impression, but not a deep one.

"Princess, you know that I was sent to the farm when I was young, and I know nothing about the affairs of the capital. I also know nothing about this Miss Meng. I wonder why the princess mentioned her?"

"This morning, Duke Meng and your father, General Su, both requested an imperial decree to grant their marriage."

"Who are you going to give Miss Meng to? But don't unmarried women have to participate in the selection? They can only get married if they are not selected?"

"That's why I'm telling you this!"

"That's... my fifth brother? Su Jinqi? No, Su Jinqi has already arranged a marriage."

"How come you know nothing about the General's Mansion?"

"I'm a concubine's daughter, and I'm not well-liked by others. I don't know anything about the general's mansion! Hahaha~"

"You! Don't underestimate yourself. Anyway, I think you are a good person."

"But my fifth brother and that Miss Meng?"

"That's right! The marriage between the General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion can be considered as the General's Mansion marrying up."

"I heard from my aunt before that my fifth brother is already engaged? They are waiting for my fourth sister to marry the emperor before they get married! Unfortunately, my fourth sister is a fool! Haha~"

"I don't know about that. I heard that your father asked for your fifth brother to marry Meng Zhiyuan from the Duke's Mansion, and Duke Meng also asked my brother to grant a marriage between Meng Zhiyuan and your fifth brother."

"Then the Emperor agrees?"

"My brother has no reason to disagree, right? Because Meng Zhiyuan and your fifth brother have already had physical contact."

"What? No way? Although my relationship with my fifth brother is not good, he is also a gentleman. He should not be frivolous to Miss Meng, right?"

"On the day you were injured, Meng Zhiyuan went to Lingyun Temple to pray for blessings. Halfway through the journey, the horse got startled and threw Meng Zhiyuan out of the carriage. It was your fifth brother who saved her and brought her back to the Duke's Mansion. The two of them must have fallen in love at first sight!"

"I see. I guess Miss Meng is pretty good looking too."

"A famous beauty in Shangjing City is definitely good. Your fifth brother is lucky to have her. My brother asked me to secretly check whether the General's Mansion intends to win over the Duke's Mansion. I think you are the most suitable candidate."

"Princess, is this okay for you to treat me like this? After all, I am also from the General's Mansion? That's my father! You want me to investigate my father? And why do you trust me so much? You shouldn't tell me about this?"

"Why? Can you help?"

"Since the princess has asked me for help, I will of course help her!"

"Huh~ I knew you would help me."

"Does the princess have any reward? It doesn't have to be much, 10,000 taels of gold will be enough."

"Go, you're teasing me! Just take care of yourself, there's no rush for this."
