Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

The eldest princess discussed with her retainers how to recruit their own people as quickly as possible and how to persuade some old ministers to stand on the side of the eldest prince.

The retainer Hu Xing said, "Now that the eldest prince is almost twenty, that marriage is no longer possible. We should choose another one to provide external support."

The eldest prince had been engaged for a long time, but his future father-in-law was implicated in Prince Yin's attempt to abdicate and was dismissed from office and sent back home.

The eldest prince's wife naturally cannot be the daughter of a convicted official, otherwise how can she be the mother of the country in the future?

"Marriage? This is exactly what I'm thinking. Gentlemen, can you please tell me which girl is suitable?"

In-laws are indeed the most loyal supporters. The eldest prince's wife must have a prominent family background and outstanding character in order to be the mother of the country.

Everyone was whispering to each other, wondering which noble lady would be the right candidate.

Hu Xing stepped forward and said, "I think Princess Kangle is the most suitable candidate."

The eldest princess frowned and said, "Although she is knowledgeable and capable, she is, after all, a princess from the countryside with a different surname. Her status and family background are not compatible with mine.

Now she is spoiled by the Emperor to the point of being lawless, mean, cunning, and strong-willed. If he makes her the Crown Princess, can the eldest prince control her?"

Hu Xing said, "The ruler is the leader of his subjects, and the husband is the leader of his wife. Princess Kangle, as a subject, has devoted herself to Your Majesty. If the eldest prince were the ruler and her husband, she would be even more loyal and would devote herself to his affairs."

The eldest princess was still hesitant, she hated this girl.

Hu Xing continued, "I believe that Princess Kangle is indeed the best candidate. One Princess Kangle is worth ten noble ladies from aristocratic families."

The eldest princess said unhappily, "Princess Kangle is quite capable, but she's not bad either, and she has the support of her clan. Why does Mr. Hu say that?"

Hu Xing explained, "First, although Princess Kangle was born into a peasant family, she is a disciple of the Xuantian Sect's Grand Elder, Feng Yu. In other words, she has the entire Xuantian Sect behind her."

Everyone was stunned, then their eyes lit up: Yes, Princess Kangle has the entire Xuantian Sect backing her. How could they ignore such important information?

The eldest princess frowned. "If we're talking about the Xuantian Sect's support, isn't Cui Qiu's granddaughter also a disciple of the Xuantian Sect's headmaster?"

She felt that Cui Zixuan was much easier to control than Song Jinxiu.

If I choose Song Jinxiu, I will always feel uneasy.

Retainer B said, "How can a girl from the Cui family be compared to Princess Kangle? She is the junior master of Xuantian Sect. A girl from the Cui family would have to kowtow and greet her whenever she sees her."

Hu Xing nodded and said, “Only Princess Kangle can mobilize the disciples of Xuantian Sect. Her status is unmatched.

Your Highness, as far as I know, Xuantian Sect is full of talented people. If you can enter the court, Your Highness will no longer have to worry about talent."

Seeing the Grand Princess lost in thought, Hu Xing continued, "Secondly, it is Princess Kangle's intelligence.

We all know how smart she is. Any idea she comes up with can bring in a lot of money. Money makes the world go round, Your Highness.

If the eldest prince can get his assistance, the position of crown prince will be a sure thing."

Everyone also said, "Wasn't there a rumor a few days ago that she was the Crown Princess appointed by His Majesty? Given His Majesty's favor for her, this news is probably not groundless."

Hu Xing said, "Any rumors are not groundless. This is the third point I want to make. Princess Kangle is deeply favored by His Majesty. It is simply a matter of his word to place someone in the court. Isn't the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue the best example?"

Everyone nodded.

The Grand Princess frowned: "So, this Princess Kangle really must be used by me."

"Yes, as long as the eldest prince marries her and she becomes ours, her talent and everything about her will belong to the eldest prince."

"What you said makes sense, but I just don't like her. I don't know why, but from the first moment I saw her, I hated her."

Sometimes you don’t need a reason to hate someone. Maybe it’s because you don’t have the same aura as them, or maybe it’s because you are born to be incompatible with them.

"She is too strong. There is a sense of oppression from her. Sometimes I feel as if I am the subject and she is the ruler.

If we let her marry the eldest prince and fail to make her submit, I'm afraid that in a few years, the Liu family will be ruled by the Song family. Wouldn't we be making wedding clothes for others? "

No, Princess Kang Le cannot marry the eldest prince. The eldest prince is gentle as jade, but he lacks means and is no match for that dead girl.

Besides, she didn't want to cause herself trouble by keeping him around.

The retainers looked at each other, and retainer A said, "We know what Her Royal Highness is afraid of.

If Your Highness is worried that Princess Kangle will endanger the Liu family's rule in the future, then there is no need to worry. Once the eldest prince ascends the throne, if things really don't work out, you can just get rid of her."

The Grand Princess pondered for a long time, then nodded and said, "That's an idea, but would His Majesty agree to let this girl become the Crown Prince's consort?"

Hu Xing said: "Love is built by people, and success depends on people. As long as the eldest prince can be polite and humble and win the favor of Princess Kangle, half of the task will be accomplished."

Although the eldest princess felt even more unhappy when she heard that the eldest prince had to curry favor with Song Jinxiu, she could endure what ordinary people could not for the sake of the great cause.

"Alright, then let the eldest prince take action. Now that we have a principal wife, it's time to select the concubines."

So a group of retainers rummaged through the noble ladies in the capital to help the eldest prince choose a concubine.

The servant who was sent by Su Mo's second aunt to gather information saw Su Mo leaving the palace from afar, and hurried back home to report the news.

Duke Zhenguo Su Mo's parents are both dead, and his grandparents have also passed away.

After the death of the old Duke Zhenguo, Su Mo's mother, Princess Enyi, appointed a group of people to maintain the Su family army, including his illegitimate uncle Su Dinggou.

Later, Princess Enyi passed away, and Su Dingfu brought his wife and children to the funeral to keep vigil.

He also left his wife and children in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion on the grounds that Su Mo had gone to the military camp and the house could not be left without a head for a day.

Therefore, in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion today, it is this illegitimate aunt who is in charge.

As the mistress of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she has lived a comfortable life in the capital for many years.

Now that Su Mo has returned to Beijing, she doesn't like him at all.

But no matter how much she disliked him, she didn't dare to neglect him now that his real master had returned. She had better serve him well and send him to the military camp as soon as possible.

This way, I don't have to be reminded by him that I'm occupying someone else's nest.

I don’t know how my master does things. Didn’t he say that there was a way to make Su Mo disappear so that he could inherit the position of Duke Zhenguo?

How come this guy returned to Beijing after making such a great contribution?

Master, what a fool! Su Mo has returned to Beijing, so why hasn’t he come back?

I feel uneasy because I didn't even give a verbal message.

The servant reported, "Second Madam, the Duke has left the palace. I rode back at full speed to report the news. He should be almost home by now."

The Second Madam was surprised, but then she forced a smile and said, "Okay, open the door and welcome Mo'er home."
