Chapter 460 She is self-aware

Lord Yuan tried to persuade his son, saying, "Although it's unfair for you to marry that girl, she will know her own limitations and won't dare interfere too much in your affairs. When the time comes, you can marry any woman you like as a concubine, and no one will be able to control you."

"It's just that you have to give due respect."

"In this case, as long as you have a relationship with the Su family, the emperor will use you with your talent."

"The Empress Dowager has passed away. Back then, the Yuan family secretly supported other princes and suppressed the current emperor. The emperor is a wise ruler. He didn't confiscate the Yuan family's property and exile them, which is quite good. Son, although you are wronged, for the sake of our entire family..."

"Dad, for the sake of the whole family, do you have to sacrifice me alone?"

Master Yuan said seriously, "You have enjoyed everything the Yuan family has given you, and you have enjoyed a life of luxury. Naturally, you should prioritize your family. Aren't you willing to sacrifice for your family at all?"

"How did I teach you?"

The Yuan family always teaches everyone in the family that family is the most important thing.

When it is time to sacrifice for the family, you must sacrifice for the family.

Yuan Jinghen's whole body was stiff, and he didn't say a word.

Master Yuan continued, "If there were any other possibility, I wouldn't force you like this."

"The Su family is the emperor's favorite. You saw it too. When the eldest son of the Su family entered the military camp, everyone said that the soldiers of the Beishan camp would not be subdued. But this Lord Su used extraordinary methods, and he is about to subdue these 30,000 soldiers..."

"And Lord Su and his wife. Even though he's only a sixth-rank official now, Lord Su will definitely be a member of the cabinet in the future."

"As long as our emperor is in power, he will be the only choice for the cabinet."

"His wife, although she comes from the countryside, is no ordinary woman. An ordinary woman can open a store like that and become so popular. Her style of doing things is different from that of ordinary people. She is a remarkable woman..."

"And their sons, both of whom are only four years old, have already placed first in the Imperial College entrance exam. This is not something an ordinary person can achieve. The Su family is already rising in prominence. In another year or two, the Su family will rise even higher."

"You can still marry that girl from the Su family now and get close to the Su family."

"The Su family only has these two girls. The second girl hasn't reached marriage age yet and is still young..."

Lord Yuan analyzed the current situation to his son.

Trying to persuade Yuan Jinghen.

Yuan Jinghen whispered: "Dad, I already have someone in my heart."

Lord Yuan's expression changed. "What? When did this happen? Without your parents' permission, you actually have someone in your heart. Who is it?"

Yuan Jinghen said, "It's Prince Ping's youngest daughter, Yan Xiangrou."

He is a royal relative. Although Prince Ping has no real power, he is still a member of the royal family.

When Lord Yuan heard the name of Prince Ping, he frowned.

"The situation in Prince Ping's family is very complicated, and it is still unknown who will inherit the throne."

Yuan Jinghen said: "Dad, no matter who it is, Xiangrou is a girl, after all, she is the daughter of Prince Ping, it won't affect her too much."

"And the Su family...she can't compare to Xiangrou."

In Yuan Jinghen's eyes, how could Su Daya from the Su family be compared with the daughter of Prince Ping?

Lord Yuan listened and was silent for a while.

…

The Su family was unaware of this matter, and Su Ling and Su Yang began to attend the Imperial College's student class normally.

Shen Yueyao also started to get busy with business matters and prepare to open a barbecue restaurant.

It was in this busy situation that many people wanted to test the Su family's opinion and proposed to Su Daya.

There were so many people proposing marriage to Su Daya at once that Shen Yueyao was stunned.

She felt that she had neglected something.

Shen Yueyao asked Su Daya, and Su Daya naturally had no idea.

She just wanted to learn more and study more from her third aunt.

Do more meaningful things.

She hopes her husband can support her in doing what she wants to do.

However, Su Daya also understood that she really had to get married, and if she stayed in the Su family, it would cause trouble for her third aunt and others.

She hopes the Su family will be well and their reputation will not be affected by her affairs.

And Erya also wants to get married after she reaches the age of 15.

Although her grandmother, uncle and aunt all support her in doing what she wants, she doesn't need to care what others think.

But she couldn't be so selfish.

But Su Daya would also take responsibility for herself. She said, "Third Aunt, I'd like to ask you to help me choose someone, and then I'll take a look myself."

When Shen Yueyao heard what Su Daya said, she understood that Su Daya wanted to get married.

Shen Yueyao naturally hopes that Su Daya will have a good home.

She asked Su Xueyi to find some lists, and someone also provided her with some lists.

Shen Yueyao helped Su Daya to screen out those with good character and family tradition.

I'll ask Su Daya what she thinks when the time comes.

Shen Yueyao also started to attend some banquets.

Take Su Daya to the banquet.

If there is any disturbance in the capital, all the major families will know about it.

Everyone understood that Shen Yueyao was taking Su Daya to meet someone.

Therefore, many families are trying to get involved and establish a relationship with the Su family.

Although Yuan Jinghen made his position clear to his father that day and said that he had a lover.

However, seeing Mrs. Chen from the Su family taking Su Daya from the Su family out to attend the banquet, he became a little anxious and pressed Yuan Jinghen from time to time.

Because Lord Yuan was also somewhat wavering in his heart.

He wanted his son to have a relationship with Prince Ping and let his son marry his sweetheart.

He also wanted his son to establish a relationship with the Su family and become a person favored by the emperor.

He is also very conflicted.

Yuan Jinghen was worried.

Yuan Jinghen took advantage of his cousin's day off and asked him to go to the restaurant with him.

Huo Bingshuo was born a military general and was a sixth-rank guard. He had a cold aura and a scar on his face, and he looked cold even when he sat there.

If it were someone else, they would naturally not dare to get close, but Yuan Jinghen is Huo Bingshuo's cousin, the two are cousins, and their mothers are from the same family.

However, the Huo family has fallen into decline and naturally cannot be compared with the current Yuan family.

Huo Bingshuo became a royal guard by relying on his martial arts exam.

Although he was a guard below the third-class guards, he was still a person who received a salary from the court.

Yuan Jinghen was troubled and didn't dare to tell others some of his thoughts for fear that they would be spread.

But he knew his cousin. He was a cold-tempered man who spoke little and might not say a single word in a whole day.

Besides, his cousin is a tight-lipped person, so Yuan Jinghen trusts him not to tell anyone.

Besides, my cousin has such a cold personality, doesn’t have many friends, and everyone around him is afraid of him.

"Cousin, have a drink with me!"

Yuan Jinghen was feeling depressed and naturally wanted to drink some wine.

He wanted to vent his emotions.

Why is everyone forcing him?

Huo Bingshuo said with his usual cold expression: "You know I don't drink."

Ever since he started learning martial arts at a young age, Huo Bingshuo has not drunk alcohol, even if he could drink, he would not drink a drop.

His second uncle was murdered while drinking in the military camp.

Yuan Jinghen shook his head and poured the wine, saying, "You're still so stubborn. You said you don't want to drink, so you don't drink. If it weren't for your temper..."

His cousin is also a poor man.

Yuan Jinghen swallowed back the words he was about to say, for fear of hurting his cousin's feelings.

Huo Bingshuo didn't say anything and remained silent.

Yuan Jinghen did not force him, but simply said: "Cousin, then you can drink some tea with me instead of wine."

"What happened?" Huo Bingshuo was as concise as ever.

Speak concisely.

If this person was not Yuan Jinghen, he would not have said much.

Yuan Jinghen drank and said: "It's my father who forced me to marry a divorced woman."

"That woman has a very bad reputation, and she has a mother like that. People say that daughters resemble their mothers. Do you think she is the same person as her mother..."

Yuan Jinghen briefly told what he had learned about Su Daya.

He was reluctant to marry Su Daya from the bottom of his heart.

That kind of resistance could drive him crazy.

He didn't want to mention this woman at all.

But his father just thinks the Su family is good.

"You think any random woman in the capital is better than her?"

"She has such a bad reputation."

Yuan Jinghen did not say who the woman was or whose family she belonged to, he only talked about the woman's experience.

After a long conversation, Huo Bingshuo said, "Maybe if you follow your father's advice and propose marriage, she might not agree."

"What? She won't agree. Why wouldn't she agree? She's a divorced woman. Who is our Yuan family?"

"She can't compare to Rou'er at all..."

After drinking too much, Yuan Jinghen's thoughts came out all at once and he told them to Huo Bingshuo.

Huo Bingshuo tried to persuade Yuan Jinghen: "Maybe it's not her fault."

"She just wanted to live well."

Yuan Jinghen snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "She is just greedy for fame and fortune, she just wants to climb up the social ladder. Don't you know that I asked someone to find out specifically that she is unfilial to her elders, she is lazy and acts like a shrew..."

Huo Bingshuo said: "The rumors are not credible."

Yuan Jinghen originally wanted to vent his emotions, but he didn't expect Huo Bingshuo to not know how to comfort him at all.

"Cousin, who are you on your side?"

"You said that woman broke off your engagement and ruined your reputation. How can you still speak for women? You don't know how vicious some women are. They will do anything to achieve their goals..."

"I think that woman is just that kind of person. I don't know why my father forced me to do that..."

Huo Bingshuo said calmly: "Your father should also be doing this for your entire family and for you."

Just like he had to work hard for the Huo family.

Yuan Jinghen was very angry when he heard all this. He clearly wanted his cousin to speak on his side, but why didn't he say a word in favor of him?

At least we can share the same hatred with him.

Yuan Jinghen drank another jar of wine, and said impulsively in anger: "Cousin, if you think she is good, why don't you help me marry her? If you marry her, my father will definitely not force me anymore."

"Cousin, didn't you say you owed me a favor? Just go and marry her. If you marry her, you won't owe me anymore... Uh..."

Yuan Jinghen drank too much and spoke incoherently, but he still wanted to distance himself from Su Daya.

…

The Su family, and even less so Su Daya, knew nothing about this incident.

She was carefully looking at some of the information that her third aunt had helped her screen.

After looking at some people's family ranks and official positions, Su Daya said, "Third Aunt, I feel that these people with their status are too high for me to marry."

Su Daya doesn't want to marry into anyone's shoes at all.

She got married because she wanted to live a good life and take care of her husband and children.

Her third aunt gave her a share of the business dividends, and she could receive a lot of money every month. She believed that as long as she managed the business well, she could live a good life.

Shen Yueyao was even surprised.

She remembered that Su Daya always wanted to marry into a powerful family.

“You…you…”

Shen Yueyao pondered, not knowing how to ask Su Daya.

I was also afraid that some of the words I said would be inappropriate and hurt Su Daya's feelings.

Su Daya understood what her third aunt was thinking.

She said seriously, "Aunt San, I was childish and foolish before, and I did stupid things, but I later learned a lot."

"I know I can't rely on others. If I want to live a good life, the key is to manage it well on my own and have my own abilities."

"Also, a person's family background and upbringing are very important. Although some noble families are well-known and powerful, the relationships within the family are complicated and not so easy to deal with..."

“I just want to keep it simple.”

She doesn't have high demands, she just wants to be respectful to each other.

Su Daya understands that she has a bad reputation, and she is now self-aware.

Shen Yueyao listened to her words and sighed in her heart, thinking that Su Daya really understood a lot of truths.

"Then I'll help you take another look."

In fact, Shen Yueyao was also worried that these noble families were targeting the Su family. What if they looked down on Su Daya in their hearts and bullied Su Daya behind her back?

They are worried too.

In fact, if one's family background is ordinary and needs to rely on the Su family, one might still value Su Daya.

While she was busy like this, one day when Su Daya was returning home from the farm, she felt as if someone was following her.

Su Daya learned some martial arts from her father and third uncle. She also learned medical skills and could use silver needles.

The perception of breath is also very keen.

But she didn't sense any danger.

Su Daya didn't care at first, but for several days in a row, she felt that someone was following her.

Su Daya was a little helpless. She walked to the entrance of an alley, holding a silver needle with medicine on it in her hand.

She made self-defense preparations whenever she went out, and she prepared these medicines herself.

She also had a sachet which also contained medicine.

"Who are you? Come out!"

Huo Bingshuo never thought that he would be discovered.

He didn't mean to follow the woman in front of him, he just had to do what he promised his cousin.

He just wanted to find a chance to talk.

But he had no experience with women.

His own sister is very sensible and obedient, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Huo Bingshuo appeared in front of Su Daya from the dark.

Su Daya was stunned when she saw the fierce and heroic young man in front of her.

This man had a cold and stern aura, like someone from a military camp.
