Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

As soon as Su Lianxue spoke, everyone around her couldn't help but turn their heads, all eagerly awaiting Shangguan Yu's response.

Shangguan Yu quickly pulled himself back to reality from his shock.

After all, the person standing before him was Princess Rui, a woman of noble status. He couldn't help but recall the time in Mofang City, when he always felt a strong sense of familiarity with his fiancée beside the general. He never expected that the woman was Su Lianxue, the one he had escorted all the way to Canglang Kingdom for a marriage alliance.

"I believe that Your Highness is the daughter of Minister Su. I escorted her all the way to the border. As for what happened afterward that caused the situation to change, I really don't know."

Shangguan Yu was certain that the person in front of him was Su Lianxue. Whether she had truly lost her memory or was pretending, he was determined to tell her what he knew.

After all, the daughter of the Minister's family had met many people besides him. Rather than concealing it and taking unknown risks, it was better to tell her the truth.

Seeing that beautiful face again, he felt a strange sense of melancholy. If Su Lianyi hadn't held something over him, forcing him to join forces with her and the others, he wouldn't have been willing to part with Su Lianxue.

Actually, thinking about it, it would be a wonderful thing if Su Lianxue became his wife. After all, Su Lianxue trusts him completely, and she believes everything he says without question.

Furthermore, her distinguished background would greatly benefit his career, and her maternal grandfather was a shrewd businessman, so he naturally had no worries about money.

But now that she is the Princess Consort of Rui, a sudden wave of displeasure surged in his heart. How could she become the Princess Consort of Rui? Absolutely not. She was originally a person sent for a political marriage. How could she be qualified to become the Princess Consort of Rui?

Countless thoughts flashed through Shangguan Yu's mind, but he had to admit that he was still very afraid, after all, she knew more about him.

A subtle, almost imperceptible chill flashed in Su Lianyi's eyes; the real show was just beginning.

Then Su Lianxue feigned a sorrowful expression, "What exactly is going on? Am I really Minister Su's daughter?" Her distress was palpable.

Seeing this, Minister Su said, "Your Highness, please don't be too anxious."

After all, the princess was seriously injured and had been recuperating at the general's mansion for a long time, a fact known to most people in the capital.

Everyone wondered if the Princess Consort's memory had been impaired due to her injury.

However, for Minister Su, the status of Princess Rui was far more advantageous than that of a marriage alliance. Therefore, he had to ensure his daughter's secure position no matter what, which is why he offered words of comfort.

Too lazy to deal with these people with their own ulterior motives, Su Lianxue pretended to hold her forehead with her hand, giving the impression that she had a headache.

......

Su Lianyi was not having such a good time at this moment. After all, this was a banquet hosted by the Empress, but it was ruined because of her. She recalled the Consort's eyes and the coldness in them, which made her shudder.

The ladies and young women attending the banquet couldn't help but curse her inwardly. After all, such an important day was meant for them to choose their husbands, but it had been ruined by such a shameless person.

However, while criticizing Su Lianyi, everyone couldn't help but become very interested in the identity of Princess Rui.

After all, meeting Princess Rui was quite different from what I had imagined. Everyone said she was a country bumpkin, but now that I saw her, she was so beautiful and had an extraordinary way of speaking. This was definitely not something that could be raised in an ordinary family.

Therefore, considering Su Lianyi's statement that Princess Rui was her sister, everyone couldn't help but become suspicious, since a country person couldn't possibly have such an air about her.

Because there were many older people at the banquet, they couldn't help but think of the former Minister's wife, who was a very beautiful and kind-hearted woman. However, they later heard that she had a difficult childbirth and did not survive, passing away just like that.

I heard that the former wife gave birth to a daughter, but she was in poor health and therefore never appeared in public. However, judging from Princess Rui's appearance, she does resemble the former Minister's wife somewhat.

Therefore, many people have already begun to believe that Princess Rui is indeed the daughter of the Minister's family.

......

Su Lianyi was sent home. At this moment, she was filled with anger, but had nowhere to vent it. All she could do was desperately smash everything in the house on the ground.

Li Ruolan coldly watched her useless daughter; had smashing things become her daily routine for venting her frustrations?

After venting her frustrations, Su Lianyi realized her mother wasn't paying attention to her, and she suddenly burst into tears.

Today she thought she would shine brightly at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but unexpectedly, she was extremely unlucky.

Li Ruolan waited until she finished crying before slowly sitting down.

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

Su Lianyi's eyes were already swollen from crying. "Mother, tell me, how will the Empress or the Imperial Concubine punish me?"

After saying that, she couldn't help but say, "Mother, send someone to find that scholar. We can't let her get away with this."

Li Ruolan looked at her daughter with a headache.

"You can't help but understand that the important thing now is not whether you can become a scholar, but whether you can marry the Third Prince's wife."

At this moment, Su Lianyi had no other choice but to cry. How could she not be worried? But what could she do? She really didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Mother, what should we do now?"

What to do, what to do? Li Ruolan had no idea what to do either.

"Has the master not returned yet?"

Li Lan looked at the nanny who was following her.

"not yet."

"Send someone to take a look."

So the nanny who was following along sent someone to guard the front yard.

“Madam, the steward of the front courtyard said that the master was summoned by the Emperor for questioning, so he has not returned to the mansion.”

It was getting darker and darker.

The servants who were serving them were all trembling with fear.

When they left in the morning, the lady and young lady seemed very happy. Why did they turn out like this when they came back?

"Sister Dong'er, you didn't go to the palace with Miss, did you? What happened?"

At the same time, Qiao'er, another maid who served the young lady, asked.

"Stop asking questions and just focus on your work."

Dong'er felt a pang of fear when she recalled what she had discovered in the palace.

On the way, they were scolded by the lady for spreading rumors, or they would be punished.

Dong'er was already terrified, so she dared not mention anything about the palace again.

The current wife was chosen by the old lady herself, and she was very satisfied with her, so the affairs of the household were gradually handed over to her.

She had long been the mistress of the mansion, so no one in the mansion would disobey her.
