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

Xiao Si continued, "But there are rumors today that the Duke of Zhenguo and the Princess of Kangning are engaged."

"What? Who said that? Where did it come from?"

She knew that Princess Kangning also liked the Duke of Zhenguo, but for so many years, the Duke of Zhenguo had been cold and indifferent to her. Why was they suddenly getting engaged?

"It seems the Princess of Danyang County said it. It's said that Princess Kangning has been at the border these days, spending time with the Duke of Zhenguo, and the two have already secretly decided to marry each other."

Cui Zixuan sat down on the stool, "How could this happen? No, I can't just sit there and wait for death.

Brother Mo is so outstanding, it's normal for someone to be interested in him. As long as they don't get married, I still have a chance."

Humph! Princess Kangning is such a despicable person. She's not afraid of bringing bad luck to Brother Mo by going to the military camp as a woman.

The Grand Princess had already thought of everything she could think of. When Su Mo returned triumphantly, she asked people to spread rumors that Kang Ning was a lucky person and it was her arrival that made the Duke of Zhenguo win a great victory at the border.

Cui Zixuan thought for a moment and ordered, "Tell the kitchen to prepare some wedding cakes and treats. When the Duke of Zhenguo leaves court tomorrow, we'll send some snacks to him."

The head maid said, "Miss, we've already delivered the wedding cakes today. Can we still deliver them tomorrow?"

"When a hero returns to the capital, we must send him off for a few more days. Besides, we must have a reason to meet him.

Tomorrow, as the head disciple of Xuantian Sect, I will book a banquet at the restaurant to welcome the heroes. I will definitely invite Brother Mo to come."

Suddenly, thinking of Song Jinxiu's identity as the junior master of Xuantian Sect, Cui Zixuan became even more depressed. How could this dead girl become the junior master?

She thought the news was ridiculous when she heard it at the time, and now she feels even more upset.

Elder Feng Yu was a legendary figure. She had been in Xuantian Sect for nearly ten years and had never even met him. If she hadn't heard some rumors about him every year, she would have even doubted that such a person existed.

How could such a legendary figure become the master of a mean girl?

If it were just a name, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the disciples of Xuantian Sect protected her everywhere and let her orders her around, so she had to act cautiously and didn't dare to provoke her.

This girl is always better than me. Is she born to be my nemesis?

Cui Zixuan cursed Song Jinxiu in her heart.

"Forget it, let's do it in the name of the Cui family."

Humph, even without the help of Xuantian Sect, my status as the descendant of the Holy Maiden of Cangwu is not much worse than hers.

"Yes," the servant took the order and left.

Zhang Jingyao, the daughter of Acting Censor Zhang Wei, is the girl that Li Wan mentioned who lived in Fuluo Temple to pray for Su Mo.

When Zhang Jingyao heard that her lover was going to be married to Princess Kangning, she was not sad but showed a hint of joy.

She was very self-aware and knew that with her status, she could not become the mistress of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Her goal was to be a good concubine to Su Mo.

Only after Su Mo's wife was chosen would he begin selecting other concubines. With her status as the daughter of the Dai Yushi family, she would definitely be able to enter the Zhenguo Mansion and serve her brother Su.

However, she was a little confused by the fact that the Duke of Zhenguo passed by her home yesterday without entering and went straight to Princess Kangle's mansion.

What is the relationship between the Duke of Zhenguo and Princess Kangle? When did they meet?

"Let's go. I'm going to prepare wedding cakes and the kidney bean cakes that Brother Su likes. Let's go to the palace gate tomorrow and wait for him to leave the court. I wonder if Brother Su still remembers me."

The next morning at court, Song Jinxiu and Su Mo entered the palace together.

Song Jinxiu walked in front with her head held high, and the Duke of Zhenguo Su Mo followed closely behind, attracting many stares.

Pingyang Hou Chenpi took a step forward and walked side by side with the two of them.

"Oh my, Princess Kang Le is really a polite girl, you are a girl who has not yet married, yet you take in the Duke of Zhenguo for the night.

She is truly unique among the noble ladies of Cangwu! I have been worried about impeachment recently, so thank you very much for handing it over to me.

But you know, the Duke of Zhenguo is engaged to Princess Kangning. I'm afraid your efforts will be in vain."

Su Mo's face darkened immediately. "My Lord, please be careful with your words. When did I become engaged to Princess Kangning? My Lord returned to the capital yesterday to discuss government affairs with Princess Kangle. Is there anything wrong with him staying at the guesthouse?"

Pingyang Hou Chenpi shook his head and clicked his tongue, "Humph, this marriage contract wasn't something I said. How could it be false when the Grand Princess said it herself?"

He finally got news about his son Chen Shigui yesterday. It turned out that he had been dismissed from his official position.

In the letter, Chen Shigui said that he had no future in the Su family army, so he found an opportunity to let Su Mo fire him.

Now that he is a free man and is in love with Princess Kangning, he is asked to go to the Grand Princess's Mansion to propose marriage.

Humph! This fool is truly stupid. He returns without a chance to make a name for himself. Why does he insist on expelling him from the army? With such a stain on his reputation, how can he ever serve as an official in the court?

And this Su Mo, Shigui is your brother-in-law after all, why didn't you give him any face and expelled him from the army?

It's really true that people forget about you after you've left. This cruel bastard.

Since his son has left the Su family army and is now going to marry again, he no longer has a marriage relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so he doesn't have to be wary of Su Mo, a lone minister.

He and Princess Kangle have nothing in common and are not the same kind of people.

Pingyang Hou snorted coldly and ignored the two of them. He walked a few steps faster angrily and distanced himself from them.

Su Mo looked at Pingyang Hou's back and asked, "Do you think he received a letter from Chen Shigui asking him to go to the Grand Princess's residence to propose marriage, but was turned away? So, he's taking his anger out on me?"

Song Jinxiu said, "That's not impossible, but if the Grand Princess rejected his proposal, then she's still after you. Did you fail to explain it to her clearly, or is she forcing you to accept it?"

Song Jinxiu was slightly angry. If it was the latter, she would not let her off easily!

Su Mo said, "Don't worry, with the Imperial Grandmother and the Emperor Uncle here, I don't need to intervene in this matter. She won't have a chance to rely on me."

Song Jinxiu thought for a moment, then touched her chin and smiled slyly, "The Grand Princess sent someone to take Princess Kangning to the military camp with the intention of targeting you, but by mistake, she brought Princess Kangning and Chen Shigui together.

If the Grand Princess knew about this blunder, she would certainly not forgive those incompetent servants. Perhaps those servants, for their own safety, deliberately passed on false information to the Princess. Perhaps the Princess doesn't even know the truth of this matter now."

Su Mo looked at her helplessly: "Why are you still gloating?"

Song Jinxiu whispered, "I have a feeling that the Grand Princess would rather have Princess Kangning become your concubine than not rely on you. So, just wait, this matter will have more trouble."

"I will not agree," Su Mo said sternly, "Today I will ask His Majesty to grant me marriage. In this life, I will only marry you, and I will never take a concubine."

Song Jinxiu was delighted: "Humph, you can only be mine."

Su Mo's mood suddenly brightened, and he said lovingly, "Okay, I'm yours alone."

Pingyang Hou, who was walking in front, vaguely heard what the two people behind him said, and his face became more and more contemptuous.

In public, the two of them were so shameless. "Yours and mine," isn't that corny? How could they say that?

I will definitely impeach them later.

But then I think, if they get married, they can't serve in the same court, right? Humph, by then, I'll see whether Princess Kangle will stay at home to take care of her husband and son, or whether you, the Duke of Zhenguo, will be willing to hand over military power and become a prince consort. Don't start a quarrel, hahaha, that would be exciting to watch.
