The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

Upon hearing this, Madam Sun pondered for a moment, then said with a grave expression, "Let's wait and see. Even if we delay for a day or two, she can't just leave like that. She's endured so many years on the estate, so these two days must be nothing serious."

At this moment, the most crucial thing is to suppress them further. Our Qiu family is of high status, and the princess's residence is no ordinary place either. If they go there, they will gain a powerful backer and become arrogant, which will not benefit our Qiu family at all.

As she spoke, Sun's tone turned sour, the past events making her feel suffocated.

It's like a thorn in my heart, a fishbone stuck in my throat.

“What you say is true, madam. This old servant will make the arrangements immediately.”

As Qiu Bo spoke, seeing that Madam Sun was in a bad mood, he was about to take his leave when Madam Sun asked again, "How is the Princess's residence? Has the master already given instructions?"

Compared to the person she held in her hands, what she was most worried about was the situation at the Princess's residence. If they made all the preparations, but the Princess refused to budge, then all their scheming would be for naught.

The Emperor's sudden bestowal of a marriage shocked everyone. No one expected that such an absurd thing would fall on the Qiu family, who were already enjoying great favor, and the person in question was their eldest daughter, whom they cherished and on whom they placed their hopes.

Although the Marquis of Qingyan's heir has a good position, this is not their ultimate goal in raising their daughter to be dignified and beautiful.

Moreover, that prince has a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, making him utterly unfit for public life.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bo frowned slightly, glanced at Madam Sun's expression, and said cautiously, "Master hasn't come out of the palace yet, but it seems that he had already negotiated with the Princess's residence the day before yesterday. The Princess didn't seem to be angry, but she didn't agree either. I don't know what happened."

Upon hearing this, Madam Sun's expression darkened again. She rubbed her temples and said, "The princess is naturally difficult to control, after all, she is the emperor's own sister. However, we cannot let Feng'er's life develop like this. If all else fails, I will swallow my pride and go to the empress for help."

"What can you do by asking the Empress? The Emperor dotes on the Princess's residence. If the Princess's residence doesn't agree, even if you go directly to the Emperor, it won't get any results."

Upon hearing this, Madam Sun was taken aback. She looked up and saw that her husband, Qiu Zhenzhou, had already entered the room. She quickly went forward to help him change his clothes, and said with a resentful expression, "What can I do? Nowadays, how many people can speak to the Emperor?"

"The Empress is, after all, my cousin. If I plead with her, there might be a chance. But if I don't, won't my Feng'er's life be ruined here? I can't accept that! Feng'er is the apple of my eye; you can't marry her off to that fool."

Qiu Zhenzhou waved his hand, looking exhausted, and said, "Do you think I'd be willing to do that? Aren't we still negotiating? Besides, this is the only time we'll speak ill of the young master. If word gets out, even if the heads of our Qiu family are made of iron, the Emperor will still chop them off."

Although the young master is not the most handsome, he is still an exceptional man. Even though he has been compared to our Feng'er, he is still quite good-looking. Especially in the capital, where there are many people and many eyes, you mustn't bring trouble upon your household.”

Having given the instructions, Qiu Zhenzhou seemed to remember something and turned to Uncle Qiu, asking, "By the way, has that girl returned?"

Just as Qiu Bo was about to reply, Sun Shi suddenly said sarcastically, "You're only thinking about that bastard?"
