Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game

Then, Qian said with great relief: "Yuan'er is safe and sound, and Tao'er is about to marry into the Huo family. It's really a double happiness."

Yin Youfu also had a smile on his face and was full of joy.

For ordinary families like them, being able to marry into the Huo family is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, an honor that they dare not even think about.

"When Taoer becomes the top scorer in the imperial examination next year, our Yu family will be proud of ourselves, and I will have an explanation to my brother and sister-in-law in heaven."

However, when Yin Youfu turned around and looked at Yin Taochen, he was surprised to find that his nephew was doing something unusual - he held a stove and threw books that were once regarded as treasures into the blazing flames.

"Tao'er, what are you doing? How could you burn the book?"

Yin Youfu was so anxious that he stamped his feet, his face full of confusion and anxiety.

But Yin Taochen did not pause at all, and the yellowed pages of paper turned into ashes under the licking of the flames.

"Uncle, these books are no longer meaningful to me now."

Yin Taochen's voice was surprisingly calm, and along with the flames, some of his past persistence and dreams also burned.

The vermilion gate of the Huo family was a glorious door leading to the world of power and wealth for Yin Youfu's nephew, but when he crossed the threshold, his steps seemed heavy and confused.

Yin Youfu stared at his nephew's distraught appearance with a frown on his face. His nephew's eyes were empty and lifeless, and he didn't have the youthful vigor that a young man should have. Seeing this scene, others felt depressed, and even the air seemed to become dull.

……

And in the noble Prince Yi's Mansion, a piece of news exploded in every corner like thunder.

"You mean to say that Yin Taochen is really going to marry Huo Chengjun?"

There was a hint of disbelief in Su Rao's tone.

At the tea party, Huo Chengjun's undisguised admiration for Yin Taochen had long been a topic of conversation among everyone.

But in the memory of his previous life, Yin Taochen faced the oppression of power and refused this marriage until his death, which eventually led to the destruction of his family and his own fate.

And in this life, how did the gears of fate turn, making this man who was once as strong as a rock willingly enter into this marriage?

Su Rao changed her mind and thought about how her and Su Wan's life paths had also undergone tremendous changes after their rebirth, and she couldn't help but sigh that things in the world are unpredictable.

However, thinking about a man as strong-willed and unruly as Yin Taochen, he actually wanted to form a political marriage with Huo Chengjun.

It is like the most delicate and juicy flower, but it has to be planted in soil that is incompatible with it. This combination, even if you describe Huo Chengjun as "cow dung", seems too unfair to the cow dung.

At this moment, the image of her sister Su Yi suddenly flashed through Su Rao's mind. Thinking that the whole capital was hotly discussing Yin Taochen's marriage news, her sister naturally would not stay out of it.

She was anxious and hurried to the princess's residence.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Su Rao saw the wet nurse Rong Mama with a frown on her face and a look of worry in her eyes, which showed her deep concern for the people in the house.

Seeing Su Rao's arrival, a glimmer of relief finally appeared on Rong's mother's face.

"Fourth Miss, you've come just in time. Come in and keep your sister company."

"What's wrong, sister?"

Su Rao asked with concern.

"I can't tell what's wrong. It looks normal, but this overly normal state makes me feel uneasy."

Mother Rong replied, with worry in her tone.

Su Rao pushed open the door and saw Su Yi sitting quietly by the window, holding a handkerchief that she was embroidering. There were blooming peach blossoms on it, colorful and breathtakingly beautiful.

"Rao'er, what do you think of this pattern? Is it to your liking?" Su Yi asked softly.

"Did my sister embroider this herself?"

Su Rao was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "I really like it. I prefer these bright colors."

"As long as you like it, I'm free anyway and I'm almost done with the embroidery. Mother Rong, go get some snacks for Rao'er, don't let her get bored here."

Su Yi spoke gently, but when the needle accidentally pierced her finger, she seemed unaware of it until the bright red blood dripped onto the white handkerchief. Then she suddenly realized it and hurriedly wanted to wipe off the inappropriate red.

"How could I be so careless? I ruined a nice handkerchief."

Su Rao quickly held her sister's hand, interrupting her self-blame.

"Sister, let's put the handkerchief aside for now and talk about Yin Taochen's marriage."

"Yin Taochen? Oh, I know, he's getting married."

Su Yi's voice was calm, and she said softly, "I have said long ago that he will definitely find a good wife. The daughter of the Huo family has a distinguished family background and outstanding looks. Isn't she just the right wife?"

Su Rao looked firmly into her sister's eyes: "Sister, do you really think so?"

Su Yi slowly lowered her head and murmured in a bitter voice, "Even if I have other ideas, what can I do? I was the one who treated him badly first, and now that he has found another partner, what right do I have to be dissatisfied?"

Su Rao said frankly: "Sister entered the palace because of the pressure of life, not because of her heart's desire."

Su Yi smiled gently, with a hint of indifference and relief between his eyebrows.

"So what? My fate with him is over. I just hope he is well."

Her voice was gentle and firm, as if she was trying to convince herself and comfort others.

Su Rao frowned slightly when she heard this, and her eyes revealed a bit of resentment and worry.

"But Miss Huo is arrogant and rude, relying on her power to bully others. She is not a good match."

After saying that, she stared at Su Yi, trying to impress him with her persistence.

Hearing this, Su Yi lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a complex and unspeakable emotion.

She remained silent, as if she was reminiscing about the past, or perhaps she was having a fierce struggle deep in her heart.

"Sister, deep down, don't you want to see Yin Taochen again?" Su Rao's voice was gentle and tentative. There was a cunning light in her eyes. She had already come up with a bold plan. "Yin Taochen may not be willing to become the son-in-law of the Huo family. Why don't we take this opportunity to stay away from the troubles in the capital together? I will definitely help you with all my strength."

Having experienced the ups and downs of life, Su Rao understands better than anyone that happiness is never something that can be waited for, but must be fought for bravely.

Her eyes were firm. "As long as you nod, no matter how stormy the future may be, I am willing to shoulder it with you."

Su Yi's heart trembled slightly, then he curled up a bitter smile and shook his head firmly.

"It's good like this now."

Although her voice was soft, it was firm.

She knew that people should not be greedy, and should not involve innocent people and make big mistakes because of personal emotions.

Seeing that her sister had made up her mind, Su Rao sighed softly, her disappointment hard to hide, but she also respected Su Yi's choice.
