The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Jiang Sujin: "Sisi, you will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. Mother wants to choose a good husband for you."

When Sisi heard this, her face darkened instantly: "Mom, didn't I tell you? I'm still young and there's no rush to get married."

Jiang Sujin glanced at Sisi, then waved at her: "Come closer and listen."

"what?"

Jiang Sujin leaned close to Sisi and talked for a long time. Sisi blushed at first, and then nodded seriously.

The next day, the news that the eldest daughter of the palace was going to choose a husband spread throughout the capital.

When Caiyue told Taotao the news, his whole body froze instantly.

"Why do we suddenly have to choose a son-in-law?" Taotao said in disbelief.

Caiyue: "It's not sudden. The eldest lady is about to turn seventeen. She is already a grown-up girl, so it's time for her to get married."

Caiyue noticed that Taotao looked unhappy, so she couldn't help but comfort him.

"Didn't mother always tell you? Our status is not worthy of the young lady. You two are completely different people."

Taotao lowered his eyes and said nothing. He knew his identity, and he no longer dared to dream of being together with her.

But when he suddenly heard that she was going to choose a son-in-law, he still felt suffocated.

Caiyue: "After a while, mom will help you find a wife. Once you get married, you won't have to think about those messy things anymore."

Taotao: "Mom, just focus on your own things. I don't want to get married yet."

Caiyue: "Taotao, listen to me. I've been through this before and I'm really doing this for your own good. When you get married, you won't think so much anymore."

Taotao couldn't help but look at his mother when he heard this: "Mom, how many people in this world do you think can compare to Sisi?"

Caiyue was subconsciously stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but speak.

"So what should I do? Can you stay single for the rest of your life just because of someone you can't have?"

Taotao lowered his eyes and said in an unusually low voice: "Anyway, I won't marry someone I don't like."

"Since I am not worthy of her, then I will just be someone who can protect her."

"you·····"

Taotao left the room without saying anything.

Caiyue looked at Taotao's back and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Taotao came to the gate of Sisi's yard, where Sisi was admiring the flowers.

The two of them stared at each other across the yard.

"How long are you going to see it?" Sisi said suddenly.

Taotao lowered his eyes and then entered her yard.

He walked straight towards her and sat down next to her.

"I heard that you are going to choose a son-in-law?" Taotao said somewhat unnaturally.

Sisi glanced at him, then cleared her throat and said, "My mother said I'm old enough."

Taotao looked at her with complicated eyes. He felt uncomfortable when he thought that she would be paired with someone else in the future.

Sisi didn't know why, but she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"It's time for you to get married." She said with her eyes lowered.

Taotao looked at her and suddenly asked, "Do you want me to get married?"

When Sisi heard this, her expression suddenly became even more unnatural: "Whether you marry or not is none of my business."

Taotao: "I said that my salary will be yours from now on, so I will naturally not marry again."

Sisi lowered her eyes, her cheeks a little hot: "You don't have to give me the salary, I have forgotten about that matter."

Taotao: "But I can't forget it, and I will never forget it in this life."

Sisi glanced at him. At this moment, his eyes were like a pool of water. She felt as if she was being sucked in.

"What are you talking about?"

Taotao looked at her embarrassment and realized that his words were too abrupt.

"I'm sorry for being rude, I hope you'll forgive me!"

Seeing that he had become cold again, Sisi couldn't help but frown: "Forget it, just go away. You don't have to give me your salary in the future. It's as if you and I have some shameful relationship."

When Taotao heard this, his heart seemed to be stabbed instantly.

He felt so sick that it was difficult for him to breathe.

"I'll take my leave!" Taotao said in a deep voice, then stood up and left without looking back.

Sisi followed his back with her eyes until he disappeared, then she lowered her eyes.

She could see that he was sad inside.

But why didn't he take the initiative to say it? Did he want her, a girl, to take the initiative to ask him to marry her?

The eldest daughter of the royal palace wanted to choose a husband, which naturally caused unrest in the entire capital.

Especially in the circle of powerful people in the capital, all the young men who had not yet married began to stir.

The next day, many powerful and wealthy young men gathered at the gate of the palace.

Jiang Sujin was not vague and directly held a competition.

They even gave them numbers and held an open audition.

Because the noise was so loud, more and more people came at once.

Not only the sons of powerful and wealthy families came, but even the children of common people began to be eager to try.

Jiang Sujin directly announced that she did not care about the other person's family background, but only his character and talent.

To put it bluntly, their palace wants to find a son-in-law.

As long as someone is talented, skilled in martial arts and can protect Sisi, they will accept him.

When the news from the palace spread, the people of the capital instantly became excited.

Whether powerful or powerless, everyone has a great interest in becoming the son-in-law of the royal palace.

Everyone knows the power and financial resources of the palace.

Once this son-in-law marries into the royal family, his descendants will be members of the royal family for generations to come, which also means that they will enjoy endless wealth and glory for generations to come.

Anyone would be tempted by such tempting conditions.

Of course, this news naturally reached Taotao's ears.

If it were in the past, he might have felt that his status was not worthy of her.

But if he were to take the initiative now, it would seem as if he was aiming for the position of the royal family's son-in-law.

Then what is the difference between him and those who curry favor with the powerful?

Caiyue naturally also saw Taotao's loss. Seeing her son like this, she was naturally heartbroken.

It wasn't that she didn't want Taotao to marry into her family's family at first. She just felt that since the Empress hadn't mentioned it, if she took the initiative to propose it, the Empress would be embarrassed to refuse her if she was unwilling.

Moreover, she really felt that her status was not worthy of being the eldest daughter of a royal family.

Who knew that the princess would suddenly recruit a son-in-law with such fanfare? It would be awkward if Taotao suddenly took the initiative at this time.

This time, she didn't know what to do.

Jiang Sujin looked at it personally and it seemed to be a very serious matter.

Sisi would occasionally come over for a visit, which made these people more active.

Not to mention anything else, the appearance of the eldest lady alone is enough to excite these people.
