Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Although Su Lianyi's actions were infuriating, this was no longer just her problem. If not handled properly, it could affect Minister Su's career. So even though he was furious, he would try his best to secure opportunities for his daughter, after all, she was the Third Prince's consort.

Li Ruolan must have understood this as well, so even though she was also scolded by the master, she just had to endure it.

"You must be obedient to your father, and you must not do anything disobedient now," Madam Su comforted her daughter.

Su Lianxue's arrival today, with its grandeur, made her extremely envious. She also longed for her daughter to have such an experience. Why couldn't her daughter have it? What was her daughter lacking?

If someone who is sent for a political marriage can become the Princess Consort of Prince Rui, then why can't her daughter become the Princess Consort of the Third Prince?

Now, she's not only handling her daughter's marriage, but she's also arranging marriages for her son. Her son isn't even married yet, and if her daughter becomes the Third Prince's consort, then arranging marriages will be even easier.

"After you became the princess consort, everything became much easier. You didn't see what Su Lianxue was like before, but now that she's the princess consort of Prince Rui, even distant relatives are coming to claim kinship with her."

Hearing her mother's words, Su Lianyi couldn't help but say with disdain, "That's right. So, Mother, will you be going to the palace soon? Please give my regards to the Imperial Concubine and explain things to her as well."

Hearing her daughter's words, she felt extremely helpless. Now that the Imperial Concubine claimed to be unwell and was not receiving guests, there was nothing she could do but postpone it.

"Don't worry, I'll ask the old lady for help and see if she has any ideas," Li Ruolan comforted her.

"Also, you should try to build a good relationship with Princess Rui. No matter what, she is a princess now."

"Hmph, what kind of princess? A woman sent for a political marriage becomes a princess. This Prince Rui really doesn't discriminate. He acts like he's never seen a woman before, letting anyone be his wife." Su Lianyi said jealously. If she really couldn't become the Third Prince's wife, she would definitely make Su Lianxue suffer.

"Shut up!"

After thinking for a moment, she said, still not satisfied, "No matter what you think in your heart, on the surface, you have to make it look nice for me."

"Think about it, Princess Rui is your sister, so when the Third Prince and the others are considering you, they will also take Prince Rui into account. Therefore, when you are out in public, you must show that you and Princess Rui have a deep sisterly bond."

Despite her resentment, Su Lianyi had to admit that her mother was right.

After comforting her daughter, Mrs. Su had to go out and get busy again. After all, there were many guests today, and there were many things to entertain. Thinking about it, she was really annoyed. She had never seen so many relatives before. When did they suddenly appear?

Despite her complaints, the thought of everyone flattering her gave her immense satisfaction. However, the thought that the girl was Xue Yatou made her feel distressed again.

The old lady, having gotten up too early in the morning, was also feeling a bit tired, so she went back inside to rest. After all, there were still so many relatives in the mansion, and she wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to enjoy the feeling of being alone in front of everyone.

It must be said that this family is all of the same ilk. At this moment, Minister Su was also in the study with his relatives. Everyone couldn't help but praise him for raising such a good daughter, who has now become a princess. It is truly an honor.

The clan chief kept praising him, saying, "In the future, we'll still need to consult with Minister Su on clan matters, especially when it comes to educating the children." These words truly gave Minister Su a great sense of satisfaction.

Many people who came today wanted to visit Princess Rui, but they were all stopped because the Princess was unwell and needed to rest.

No matter what kind of nice things those people say, some even try to bribe their way into getting a meeting with them.

But all of them were rejected.

Before dinner time, the steward of the Minister's residence rushed into the study, "Master, Master."

His anxious manner displeased the Minister, who rebuked him, "You have no manners at all." After all, many relatives had come to visit today, and he was a man who valued his reputation, so he could not tolerate such a lack of decorum.

The steward didn't even have time to apologize, and only said, "Master, Prince Rui has arrived."

The moment these words were uttered, everyone in the room was startled. They hadn't expected Prince Rui to come to the Minister's residence, which was truly a joyous occasion for the Minister's family.

So everyone hurriedly went out to greet Prince Rui.

The Minister has long forgotten about the rules.

"Inside the main hall of the Minister's residence, Prince Rui was already seated, and servants served tea." So everyone busied themselves paying their respects.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. You are all relatives of the Princess. It is a happy thing for the Princess to know about her background today."

Chu Mohan couldn't help but reply.

However, what I really think is, if it weren't for the fact that the princess's mother still has her dowry in your hands, who would come back to acknowledge you people?

"It is also a fortunate event for my Minister's Mansion," Minister Su replied. At this moment, he wisely refrained from bringing up the foolish question of why his daughter, who was supposed to be sent for a political marriage, had become a princess.

In any case, being able to establish a relationship with Prince Rui is something to be very happy about, since Prince Rui is currently favored by the Emperor, as can be seen from his attendance at court every time.

Therefore, who wouldn't want to curry favor with Prince Rui? If Prince Rui could say a few good words to the Emperor, he would surely be promoted and become rich.

With the arrival of Prince Rui, the family reunion became even more grand.

During dinner, Su Lianxue asked in confusion, "Today, when I returned to my old house, I found that everything was gone?"

Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Madam Su, since the affairs of the inner quarters were all handled by the matriarch.

Madam Su had long anticipated this question. "When my sister was alive, she was very good to me. But after she passed away, some of the servants in the mansion were always careless and would break her things. So, in order to ensure that Lianxue would have something to cherish in the future, we moved them all to the storeroom for protection. Later, when Lianxue left home, we put them away again for the same reason."

Who would believe such nonsense? Su Lianxue could only say with a smile, "Mother is always so thoughtful."
