Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

Chapter 109: Cannot Marry into the Marquisate

That notorious Prince Yan is not a good man!

Although Su Tinggui had some complaints about his daughter Su Manman, it did not mean that he was willing to be criticized by other people in the capital.

"Prince Yan, no." He rejected it flatly.

Old Madam Qian also said, "I don't agree either."

Whenever attending a banquet, if Lady Yan met Old Lady Qian, she would always arrogantly mock the mother and son of the Su family, saying that they were not presentable.

A poor scholar with no background managed to gain a foothold in the capital by marrying the daughter of General Lin. Now that General Lin has been demoted, he still has the nerve to attend a banquet hosted by noble ladies in the capital.

She always looked down on her, saying that Madam Qian was not qualified to attend the banquet.

Such repetitive words were always repeated every time the two met at a banquet.

As a result, Mrs. Qian has not liked to attend banquets in recent years.

Today, the Marquis Yan's Mansion has lost its power and has declined in just a few years.

At this moment, the prince of the marquisate wanted to marry her granddaughter.

Think beautiful!

"Madam, Master...how can you...how can you object?"

Aunt Liu really couldn't understand.

Although Yan Baize, the prince of the Marquis' Mansion, has a bad reputation, he is still the prince of the Marquis' Mansion after all.

And what about the older girl?

She had been raised in a foreign land, was illiterate, and tone-deaf. Among all the noble ladies in the capital, she had no outstanding qualities.

If it were any other prince from a marquisate, he would definitely not marry her as his wife.

It was precisely because the Yan Marquis Mansion had fallen into decline and Prince Yan himself was not ambitious that he happened to be matched with the eldest girl.

What's more, a starving camel is bigger than a horse. Such a wealthy mansion is enough for the young lady to eat for a lifetime, no, even for three lifetimes.

This is a great marriage!

Why don’t the old lady and the master agree?

Aunt Liu was in a dilemma. "The Marquis's Mansion has chosen the eldest daughter, and they will send a matchmaker today to propose marriage, announce the good news, and exchange engagement letters."

"Madam Liu, why didn't you discuss such a big thing with us?" Old Madam Qian was the first to get angry.

"But……"

Aunt Liu looked at Old Madam Qian and said dissatisfiedly, "Master said that I am fully responsible for this matter."

"I put you in charge."

Su Tinggui was also a little annoyed, "But the other party is the Yan Hou Mansion, you need to discuss it with me at least."

He fell asleep last night and took leave this morning without going to court.

However, what happened in the court had already been reported to him by friendly court officials.

The letter stated that at the court this morning, several officials reported Lord Yan, accusing him of not disciplining the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince did whatever he wanted in the capital, bullying men and women, which was truly abominable.

Lord Yan's title comes from the merits of my father.

Now that I have no one to rely on, I naturally feel guilty.

Faced with the accusations of the court officials, the emperor was furious. Lord Yan felt guilty and knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to admit his mistakes.

The status of the Marquis' Mansion deteriorated with the evil deeds of this prince.

If Su Manman marries him, how will he deal with it in the future when Lord Yan kneels down and kowtows in the court every time because of the Crown Prince's affairs?

Do you want to kneel down too?

What a good thing this stupid woman did!

"Master, this matter cannot be blamed on me."

In the past twenty years, no matter how big or small the matter was in the Su Mansion, as long as she stepped forward to deal with it, the old lady and the master never questioned her.

Now, for the sake of that bitch Su Manman's marriage, the old lady and the master stood against her for the first time.

Aunt Liu was in a really bad mood.

It's really a thankless job.

It's all that bitch's fault.

Her face also turned ugly, "Master, the other party is the Marquis' Mansion, we can't afford to offend them."

"If the matchmaker comes to propose marriage, and we refuse, we will offend Lord Yan. From now on, you will be in the court and you will see him every day. What will we do?"

These words touched Su Tinggui's heart.

In his heart, he looked down upon the declining Marquisate.

But the Marquis' Mansion, which is on the decline, is still a Marquis' Mansion.

The Marquis's Mansion has been passed down for three generations, and the network of relationships they have established in the capital is intricate and complex.

If he offends the Marquis' Mansion, anyone who is on good terms with the Marquis' Mansion and is willing to stand up for the Mansion will try to trip him up.

His future days in the capital will surely be like walking on thin ice, with every step he takes being difficult.

How can this be good?

Agree, impossible.

I didn't agree and was worried.

For a moment, Su Tinggui was in a dilemma and was so worried that his head was swelling.

"The current emperor..."

He briefly recounted what happened in the court this morning.

For a moment, he looked worried. "I don't expect my daughter to marry off well."

With that dead girl's personality, even if she marries well, she won't think about him as her father.

Then why should he plan the rest of his life for her?

"Marry a merchant, marry the son of an official, even marry an unknown person..."

As long as she leaves the Su Mansion and does not let her existence affect the Su Mansion in the future, he will burn incense and pray to Buddha.

If she married into Marquis Yan's mansion, Prince Yan would not be able to help him in the court, but would even be a burden to him.

This marriage will do him a hundred harms and no benefit.

Why did he facilitate this?

"If she marries into the Marquis's Mansion, it will only hinder my future career." As soon as he said this, Aunt Liu was so frightened that she dared not say a word.

Steal a glance at Su Jiaojiao.

She bit her lips with her pearly teeth and kept her head down without saying a word.

When Old Madam Qian heard what Su Tinggui said, she was furious. "Madam Liu, Tinggui worked so hard to become the Minister of Rites. You should use your brain more."

"If you ruin his future because of your pig-headedness, I will fight you to the death."

Threatened by the words, Aunt Liu was so frightened that she dared not say a word.

Everyone in the room was worried.

For a moment, everyone was thinking about how to best respond if the matchmaker came.

The agreed time arrived, but the matchmaker who was supposed to show up at the Su Mansion was nowhere to be seen.

Aunt Liu stood at the door of the study, watching.

Wait and wait.

By lunchtime, the matchmaker still hadn't appeared at the gate of the Su Mansion.

Aunt Liu couldn't wait and sent someone to find out.

After a while, the servant returned to the Su Mansion, panting and saying, "The matchmaker can't come."

"This morning, she had just left the house when she fell on the steps and rolled onto the street.

"The matchmaker struggled to her feet when a passing carriage started to scare the horse and kicked her."

"That kick landed on her leg, and she immediately fell to the ground, howling loudly."

"The matchmaker has been sent to the medical clinic."

"Marquis Yan's Mansion got the news, and then there was no news."

No news is good news.

On the first day, the matchmaker went to propose marriage and encountered such a big surprise.

The Marquis's Mansion must have some concerns, so they dare not easily bring up the matter of marriage again.

This matter has been resolved for the time being.

In the study, when everyone heard the bad news, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In Nishang Courtyard, Taohong got the news and went to report it, but Su Manman was still studying medical books seriously.

After hearing all the news, she smiled faintly, "I didn't expect that my cheap grandmother and biased father would defend me like this for the first time?"
