Chapter 22 Adjustment

After the imperial edict was issued, the other party was his father-in-law, and he had to give him some face: "Your Excellency, you are too kind. To me, the second daughter is very good and generous. Even the emperor and the queen have praised the second daughter."

"Yes, yes, yes." The face of the master changed.

If he continued to say that the second daughter was not good, wouldn't it mean that the emperor and the queen had a problem with their vision?

After understanding the meaning of Xiao Jingzhan's words, the master was shocked, and then came to his senses. Is the prince Xiao defending Xun Tao?

The gentlemen glanced at their second daughter, who was still as dull, unpleasant and insignificant as usual, and a different emotion appeared in their eyes: "Actually, my daughter is not bad, she's just a little slow in speaking, but she's very honest and has a good heart."

"Otherwise, when my father was alive, he had so many grandsons and granddaughters, but only one liked Xun Tao. In the end, it was Your Majesty, the Queen and Prince Xiao who had vision and could see the advantages of my daughter."

"Maybe, this is the fate of my daughter and Prince Xiao."

Very honest and kind-hearted?

Xiao Jingzhan did not comment on these two comments: "What Lord Zhu said is right. Miss Zhu is very good, and someone will treat her well. Before the marriage, thank you Lord Zhu for taking care of her."

The imperial decree has been issued, and Zhu Xuntao has been branded with the mark of their Yongjing Marquis Mansion, and this matter is basically impossible to change.

"Prince Xiao, your words are too serious. Xuntao is my daughter, and it is my duty to take care of her."

Lord Zhu took over, and was very wary of Xiao Jingzhan's statement that the Zhu Mansion and Zhu Xuntao were clearly separated.

Zhu Xuntao was his daughter, and even if she got married, she still had to call him dad.

Thinking of the Yongjing Marquis Mansion and even the Empress and the Crown Prince standing behind Xiao Jingzhan, the adults immediately perked up and explained:

"Xuntao has such a temper that it is really difficult for ordinary people to understand her goodness. It's embarrassing to say, but as her father, I favor her the most among many children..."

Zhu Xuntao's patience was exhausted: "Dad, can you let your daughter talk to Master Xiao alone for a few words?"

"..." The adults' excuses were already dry and they couldn't come up with anything to say.

Being interrupted by Zhu Xuntao, although it was a bit embarrassing, it was also a step down: "You and Xiao Shizi have already established a relationship, so it's fine. But, be careful."

"Thank you, father." After paying respect to Zhu Da, Zhu Xuntao gave Xiao Jingzhan a look that said "follow me" and walked towards the small pavilion in the backyard.

Xiao Jingzhan bowed to Zhu Da and followed Zhu Xuntao.

Madam Sun grabbed Zhu Yingyan who wanted to chase after him and shook her head to stop Zhu Yingyan from acting impulsively: "Master, what should we do with our Yan'er after the imperial decree?"

Master Zhu was very happy but was confused by Madam Sun's question: "What do you mean by what? What does this have to do with Yan'er?"

Madam Sun dismissed all the servants: "Didn't we agree before that with the family background and rules of the Marquis's Mansion, Zhu Xuntao will sooner or later cause trouble if she marries into the Marquis's Mansion and will be disliked by the Marquis's Mansion and bring trouble to our family."

"Yan'er is different. She has learned the rules well since she was young. Not to mention a mere marquis's mansion, she can even go to the palace. Marrying Zhu Xuntao to Prince Xiao is a disaster, not a blessing, for our family."

The joy on Lord Zhu's face disappeared, his face sank, and he showed a cold look: "Before was before, now is now. I saw today that Xuntao is pretty good, at least Prince Xiao is interested in Xuntao."

He is a man, and naturally understands men.

No matter how the second daughter performs, as long as she can capture Prince Xiao's heart, then she will definitely bring benefits to their family.

By becoming a relative of the marquis's mansion, he is equivalent to marrying the prince at the same time.

As long as Prince Xiao likes it, does it matter whether the eldest daughter or the second daughter marries?

"Mrs. Sun, I warn you, put away all your previous little thoughts. If anyone ruins the marriage between my Zhu family and the Marquis' Mansion, I will not show mercy!"

Seeing that Mrs. Sun and Zhu Yingyan's faces turned pale, Lord Zhu softened his tone and said:

"Just as you said, Yan'er is much better than Xuntao. Without Prince Xiao, Yan'er can definitely have a better place to go. I am Yan'er's biological father, and Yan'er's future is more important to me than you. How can I treat Yan'er badly?"

"Don't worry, I will find a marriage for Yan'er that is no worse than Xuntao."

Didn't Mrs. Sun say that with the eldest daughter's character and appearance, she could even go to the palace.

The second daughter married Prince Xiao, just in time, he has a son-in-law who is more promising.

In this way, the eldest daughter and the second daughter each have a good place to go.

When the two daughters get married, Lord Zhu can fully imagine how glorious the Zhu family will become in his hands in the future, and he will be the most promising son of the Zhu family!

Lord Zhu's words made Madam Sun hesitate.

Lord Zhu's hint was quite obvious, and both Madam Sun and Zhu Yingyan understood what Lord Zhu meant by a better marriage. No matter how good

Prince Xiao is, he is not as good as the prince.

Seeing Madam Sun's hesitation, Zhu Yingyan grabbed Madam Sun's hand: "Mother!"

She said that she would never be the prince's woman again, and she was even more unwilling to enter the prince's backyard.

"You should persuade Yan'er and don't be so stubborn." Lord Zhu is not stupid, he just doesn't care.

He saw all of Madam Sun's preference for Zhu Yingyan, but he just ignored it.

Naturally, Master Zhu knew that Madam Sun always linked Zhu Yingyan and Xiao Jingzhan together, which was actually Zhu Yingyan's idea.

"Yan'er is still young, she doesn't understand and is prone to make mistakes, you can't make mistakes with her. In the future, you don't have to do unnecessary things. If it succeeds, the two sisters will support each other, and this huge wealth will really fall on our Zhu family. Don't think you are unlucky and don't catch it."

"This..." Madam Sun's mind was pulled left and right, and she was very troubled.

Thinking of her son, Madam Sun held Zhu Yingyan's hand and said, "Yan'er, listen to your father. Your parents are doing this for your own good."

The prince and Xiao Jingzhan are blood relatives, but the prince still values ​​and trusts Xiao Jingzhan.

Just based on this, the good days of the Marquis's Mansion are still a long way to go.

If Zhu Xuntao marries Prince Xiao and Yan'er enters the East Palace, when Yan'er gives birth to a son, she will ask Zhu Xuntao to let the entire Yongjing Marquis's Mansion help Yan'er and her son.

By then, Yan'er will most likely become the most noble woman in the world!

Seeing that Madam Sun had figured it out, Lord Zhu gave Madam Sun a few words of advice and then left to do other things.

When only the mother and daughter were left in the room, Zhu Xuntao grabbed her mother's hand tightly and said, "Mother, I don't want to!"

How could Zhu Yingyan not know what Lord Zhu and Madam Sun were planning? In fact, this was her mental journey in her previous life.

But in the end, facts proved that in the deep courtyard of the prince's backyard, not only did she not have the prince's favor, but even her child was not born because of the calculations of other women.
