Chapter 34 Don’t feel too good about yourself
The problem is that the Marquis’s Mansion came today to set the wedding date. If she
really became a couple with Xiao Jingzhan, seeing each other day and night, sleeping in the same bed, and brewing incest, something bad would definitely happen.
She is not so pure and celibate!
She just wants to be a good female supporting role that she will leave early, and she doesn’t want to replace Zhu Yingyan as the female lead.
Life is more important!
If she doesn’t leave now, Zhu Xuntao is afraid that her life will be in danger.
Mrs. Sun was stunned before she could lose her temper:
"Do you know what you are saying?"
Zhu Xuntao replied:
"It is not important whether I know what I am saying or not. What is important is that you need to know what you are going to do."
Mrs. Sun calmed down:
"It seems that you really took my words to heart and always put your sister first. Your sister likes Prince Xiao, and you should really give Prince Xiao to your sister."
"You should take the initiative in this matter. Your sister and I will certainly not forget your kindness. If you disagree, the final result will not change, and you will not end up well."
Praising is not enough, she needs to scare her again.
Mrs. Sun does not believe that Zhu Xuntao does not like Xiao Jingzhan and is not tempted by the marriage with the Marquis's Mansion.
If this marriage is not good, can she waste her energy for her beloved daughter?
Zhu Xuntao didn't take Madam Sun's words seriously.
She never quit to be a sister-supporting demon, she just wanted to finish her role and then grow old.
Xiao Jingzhan is good, but living people are more troublesome than dead people.
She is an orphan who was abandoned at birth, and she doesn't believe in husband-wife relationship, mother-daughter relationship or mother-son relationship.
In modern times, she chose not to marry.
In ancient times, she had to marry, so she married a dead person, which was not too good.
"I will cooperate with your plan, but you have to agree to one request of mine."
She and her biological mother are not one-sided, but cooperate with each other and each gets what they need.
Madam Sun raised her eyebrows, thinking that she had boasted too early:
"What do you want? You'd better not think about things that belong to your sister."
"Don't worry."
Zhu Xuntao let Madam Sun relax,
"What I want is definitely not what Zhu Yingyan would like. I heard that the emperor was heartbroken that Prince Yu died on the battlefield for Dayong without anyone to accompany him. I want to be the Princess of Yu."
Zhu Xuntao added:
"If I become the Princess of Yu, the emperor will definitely compensate the Zhu family. Dad will not object to anything that is beneficial to the Zhu family."
She even solved the worries for her biological mother, so there was no need for her biological mother to reject her.
Not to mention, this was originally the ending that her biological mother and Zhu Yingyan had arranged for her in the book.
Mrs. Sun didn't believe it at first, and then wondered:
"You...really...why?"
Why would she rather be a widow to Prince Yu than marry a good husband like Prince Xiao?
It doesn't make sense!
But Mrs. Sun knew that no matter what, Zhu Xuntao would never joke with her about such a thing. If
Zhu Xuntao really agreed to marry Prince Yu, and then regretted it, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Even if she didn't have to punish her entire clan, Zhu Xuntao's life would definitely not be saved.
Zhu Xuntao sneered:
"When you gave birth to me, you had a difficult delivery because the fetus was too big, and you almost lost your life. Although mother and daughter are safe afterwards, you also lost your fertility. You had to watch your father and aunts raise children, and watch other women give birth to your father's children."
"How could I be willing to repeat the same path you have walked?"
For this reason, her biological mother hated her since the first day she was born, and she still hates her today.
"Think about it, it's good to marry a dead man. In the future, I will be the only master in the palace. The prince is dead, and I am his only woman in this life. He will not cause me any trouble."
"If I become the Princess of Yu, I will have status and money. Why shouldn't I?"
Madam Sun was almost convinced:
"But the men in the Marquis's Mansion don't have the habit of taking concubines."
She even gave up the prince as her son-in-law, just for the extraordinary loyalty of the men of the Xiao family to women.
If she could find a confidant who would stay with her until old age, it would not be impossible to give up the tremendous power and status.
"Habits can change. Not taking concubines now does not mean that I will never take concubines in the future."
Zhu Xuntao was too lazy to explain it so clearly to Madam Sun, and just found a random excuse to prevaricate.
Xiao Jingzhan is the male lead, and Zhu Yingyan is the female lead.
If the female supporting role wants to force herself to be with the male lead, won't she be reduced to ashes?
In front of life, being together for a lifetime means nothing, right?
What's more, if she marries Princess Yu, won't they still be a couple?
The results are the same, there is no need to care whether the object is dead or alive.
As a female supporting role, she is so open-minded.
"Can you talk about your plan now? With my cooperation, your plan will only go more smoothly."
Their goals are the same, and there is really no need for her biological mother and Zhu Yingyan to play that trick on her.
"My original plan was to knock you out on the day of your wedding to Xiao Jingzhan, and let your sister wear the wedding dress and get on the sedan chair."
The people in the Marquis' Mansion wanted to find out that the bride was not Zhu Xuntao, because by then, they had already finished the wedding ceremony and entered the bridal chamber.
The name had been decided, and the status was not much different.
"That's possible."
Zhu Xuntao nodded and acknowledged this method.
Getting married in ancient times was troublesome. The bride's head was covered with a veil, and no one could see the face under the veil, so it was easy to make mistakes.
She had seen a lot of the plot of getting on the wrong sedan chair in modern times on TV and in novels.
This could be regarded as a reflection of reality.
"Okay, I agree."
Both parties had their own ideas, and Zhu Xuntao said without hesitation that he would actively cooperate.
"Zhu Yingyan won't show any signs of being a fake when she gets on the sedan chair, so the people in the Marquis' Mansion won't be able to find out that the goods are not the same, but what about my marriage with Prince Yu?"
"I have to make sure that my position as the princess is not lost, so that Zhu Yingyan can sit firmly in her position as the Crown Prince's Consort, do you understand?"
"Regarding Prince Yu... I'll go and discuss it with your father."
An idea came to Madam Sun's mind, which coincided with what Zhu Xuntao had just said.
If Prince Yu's marriage could also be finalized, their Zhu family could have double happiness and marry off both daughters on the same day.
When one daughter is married, the mansion has already started to get in chaos.
If two daughters were married at the same time, it would be more normal to have the wrong bride, and no one would doubt that the bride getting on the wrong sedan chair was a human error rather than an accident.
"Okay, I'll wait for your result."
Zhu Xuntao reminded Madam Sun:
"Whether Zhu Yingyan can become the Crown Prince's Consort depends on whether you can say something bad about my father today."
"You are so disrespectful!" Madam Sun glared at Zhu Xuntao, "Remember to respect your sister. I won't bother with you today, but next time..."
Zhu Xuntao waved her hand and asked Madam Sun to go find Master Zhu.
Clean up?
From childhood to adulthood, her biological mother treated her a little harshly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. At other times, when could she let her suffer?
