The Su family members became active. If they could please Su Mo, would they be favored by Su Mo?

Who doesn’t want the position of Duke of Zhenguo?

The Su family head's eyes flickered. Because this branch of the clan was five generations removed from the Zhenguogong Mansion, and because their ancestors had stood by and watched during the Five Kings Rebellion, offending Princess Enyi, the Zhenguogong Mansion and the Su family had become increasingly distant.

Now he originally wanted to take advantage of Su Mo's wedding to come here to build relationships, but now it seems that there might be an unexpected surprise.

The head of the Su family was thinking about the future of his two grandsons. Since Su Ding was disliked, could his grandsons also think about the title of Duke of Zhenguo?

So, subconsciously, the head of the Su family and Su Dingfei moved away from each other.

Seeing that the old housekeeper didn't give her, the "master", any face at all, Su Qianqian immediately frowned and said coldly, "My father is the future Duke of Zhenguo. How dare you talk to me like that? Be careful or I will have you kicked out of the Duke's Mansion."

"Shut up." Su Dingfei scolded his eldest daughter harshly. It was too early for the child to say this. You know, if he wanted to inherit the position of Duke Zhenguo, he still needed the help of this old housekeeper.

This old butler Su Ming was a retainer under the old Duke Zhenguo. Apart from Su Mo, he was the top official in the Duke's Mansion.

His family lived in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for seven years, but did not get any benefit from this old man.

Thinking of this, he glared at his eldest daughter again. This child offended people as soon as she came up.

He quickly bowed to the old housekeeper and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Ming, this child has been spoiled by her mother. I will definitely reprimand her later. Uncle Ming, please be magnanimous and ignore this child's nonsense. This Zhenguo Mansion is your home at all times."

"Hmph! Second Master, you should go back. Even if the Zhenguo Mansion doesn't have a young master, it still has a young master. Don't bother the second young lady to worry about whether this old servant stays or goes."

What? What does the old butler mean by this? Little master? Not to mention that his little master will be the crown prince in the future, even if the empress has a few more children, they will still be princes, right?

Why would he give up his position as a prince and lower himself to become a duke? Is this possible?

The head of the Su family couldn't help but ask, "What does the old general mean by this? Could it be that the Crown Princess has agreed to adopt a child to become the Duke of the country?"

There are many spies from various mansions around the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The old butler looked around at the prying eyes, some open and some covert, and their pricked ears. His eyes flickered, and then he said slowly, "Who dares to guess what Your Highness is thinking? But our Duke is young and strong. Is he afraid of not having a son?"

The old butler Su Ming led the Su family members to the villa.

However, his words caused a huge uproar in the capital, and there were many different opinions.

"Hey, what did the old steward of the Zhenguo Mansion mean by that? Putting aside His Highness's mention of the Zhenguo Duke's offspring, does he want the Zhenguo Duke to shoulder the responsibility of two branches?"

"Don't talk nonsense. This is just a casual remark by an old housekeeper. It's not what the Duke of Zhenguo meant. Besides, His Highness is not a pushover."

After a moment of silence, someone lowered his voice and said, "Without the consent of the Duke of Zhenguo, how dare an old steward like him speak nonsense?"

Someone explained, "The Zhenguogong Mansion has been a single-line inheritance for generations, so we can't let them die out, right? It's reasonable for the Zhenguogong to shoulder the responsibility of two branches."

"But she is the Crown Princess, our future Empress. Can you tolerate her husband having another woman?"

"So what? All Her Highness wants is a child with the bloodline of the Duke of Zhenguo. It doesn't mean Her Highness can't have concubines..."

"Shh, shut up."

Think about the last time the capital city was in turmoil. His Highness was decisive in killing people. His long spear was like the wrath of a god, and wherever it went, blood flowed like a river.

This is also the reason why no one dared to say anything when a princess from another family became the crown prince. Didn’t you see that all the royal family members bowed their heads and admitted defeat? How dare you gossip about His Highness?

The Minister of Rites' Mansion,

The wife of the Minister of Rites was admonishing her sister-in-law, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Your husband is a fifth-rank official. If he doesn't have concubines, wouldn't it be disliked? And if this woman gets a reputation for being jealous, it will be difficult for the daughters in our family to find a husband in the future."

As she spoke, she sighed and said, "Ah! Not to mention you, even Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess would have to allow the Duke of Zhenguo to shoulder the responsibility of two wives, right?"

The sister-in-law was angry that her husband had taken another concubine, but when she heard what her sister-in-law said, she suddenly perked up.

"Sister-in-law said that the Duke of Zhenguo wants to shoulder the responsibility of two families? Then can our Jingyao do it?"

If she married into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, although she would not be able to live with her husband forever, as long as she had a child, the entire Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would be hers.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, that must be a first-rank lady, right?

The sister-in-law suddenly grabbed her sister-in-law's hand and said, "Oh my God, sister-in-law, can you find someone to mediate? Please."

The wife of the Minister of Rites blinked. If they were to make peace, she would have a daughter of marriageable age. How could it be your turn?

Su Mo and Song Jinxiu returned from their boat trip and personally escorted her to the Princess's Mansion. The Princess's Guards immediately secured the Mansion, and the guards also stepped up patrols.

The thirty-six guards also left the space and provided personal protection to Song Jinxiu from eight directions without any blind spots.

When Tian Xinghua heard that her daughter had returned home, she hurried over from next door, and Zhang Zihan followed closely behind, pushing the twins in a stroller.

When Tian Xinghua stepped into the hall, she was stunned when she saw her daughter wearing a dragon robe.

Is this her daughter? Is this the daughter she carried for ten months and gave birth to? Is she really wearing the dragon robe? Will she become the empress in the future?

Zhang Zihan took two quick steps forward and knelt down, "Your Highness, I greet you."

When Tian Xinghua saw her husband kneeling, her legs went weak and she was about to kneel down, but Song Jinxiu held her up.

"Mom, are you going to torture me?"

Tian Xinghua stammered, "But you're wearing a dragon robe!"

Wearing a dragon robe, how could she not kneel?

"Even if I wear a dragon robe, I'm still your daughter." Song Jinxiu said with a smile, "Just think of it as me being promoted again."

Tian Xinghua looked at her daughter, who was smiling like a flower, and felt bad. This promotion was a bit scary!

To be honest, she was happy that her daughter had achieved such a great success, but she also knew that her daughter would belong to the royal family in the future.

I can't help her in any way, I can only try my best not to cause her any trouble.

But this child is getting married so early, what does Your Majesty want to do?

Song Jinxiu looked at her red eyes and asked, "You stayed up late? But Dabao and Erbao were disobedient?"

The eldest and second babies were babbling and blinking their long and narrow eyes at him.

Tian Xinghua suddenly grabbed her hand and asked worriedly, "You haven't even reached the age of marriage yet? Why are you rushing to get married? Can you wait another two years? Or even a year?"

Song Jinxiu shook her head and said, "The wedding date has been set and cannot be changed."

Tian Xinghua looked anxious. She grabbed Song Jinxiu's hand and squeezed it hard. She looked around carefully and secretly slipped her a piece of paper while no one was paying attention. Then she secretly scanned the guards at the door with a guilty conscience.
