Chapter 313: What if I don't get married?
Zhao Wanyue was just about to ask about it when she heard the person next to Madam Xie say, "Your brother is a fifth-rank official at a young age. He has a promising future and is very handsome. He is a perfect match for Miss Su."
Zhao Wanyue thought it was okay and wanted to find out more.
Madam Pei sneered, "Madam Xie's plan is probably known to the whole capital.
Your brother is almost 30 years old now. Although he lost his wife and never remarried, he may have five or six concubines in the same room, not to mention that his deceased wife left behind a pair of children. Do you want Miss Su to clean up your brother's mess?"
Madam Pei's face turned red and white after revealing her secrets.
Princess Xu said coldly: "This man is over 30 years old, isn't he in his prime? Miss Su's age is just right for him, isn't she? I think they are a good match."
Zhao Wanyue was angry that Madam Xie was shameless, but Princess Xu exaggerated it. She got angry all of a sudden and said directly: "If Princess Xu thinks it's good, why not let your princess get married? This time, there will be two ready-made children, so you don't have to worry about her suffering.
Also, don't bother with my Lingxi's marriage. Don't just bring up a random ugly melon and a rotten date. If there is no suitable one, I can support her for the rest of her life!"
Princess Xu also said stubbornly: "This girl is not married. If it was..."
"I'm not in a hurry for my own daughter, so you don't need to worry about it. Fortunately, we found out early. Otherwise, Lingxi would have to witness such a lowly thing as her mother-in-law fighting for favor with her son's concubine. That would be really painful!"
Zhao Wanyue didn't care about her manners. She knew how to hurt Princess Xu's lungs when she treated her daughter like this.
"You..." Princess Xu was so angry that she couldn't say a word. Her husband fell in love with her son's concubine and actually took her. Although it was a secret in the harem, how could it be hidden? Everyone knew it. Seeing
Princess Xu's frustrated look, Zhao Wanyue felt extremely happy.
She found an opportunity to thank Madam Pei, who raised her voice and said, "Miss Su is a role model for us girls. She is not afraid of the world or what people say, and she has managed to support the girls' school. I heard that those poor families who can't make ends meet now are either thinking of selling their children or sending them to girls' schools to learn skills. This is really a great merit. In this world, it is not easy to be a girl, but there are still so many people who always make things difficult for us!"
Today, Madam Pei didn't come, and Zhao Wanyue realized that Madam Pei, who usually lowered her head and looked docile, was also a person of temperament who couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes. As expected, there is no weak soldier under a strong general. When Madam Pei confronted people, she really had some shadows of Madam Pei.
These ladies and young ladies had naturally heard what Madam Pei said, but they didn't care about the lives of ordinary people.
They only knew that Su Lingxi had trained the lowly people who could only be slaves and maids into craftsmen, and some of the outstanding ones even wanted to step on their heads, which was simply a lack of distinction between the upper and the lower.
But Madam Pei was backed by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no matter how dissatisfied they were, they should have weighed their words.
Princess Xu's daughter-in-law was fascinated by what she heard. She envied Su Lingxi so much, knowing that the prince of the county was not a good person, and she could decisively break off the engagement for her.
Now, she was still unmarried at an old age, and she had lost the official position she was proud of, and was ridiculed. Her mother could stand up for her in front of so many people, saying that at worst she would not marry and would support her for the rest of her life.
Her own family, knowing that the Prince's mansion was in a mess, still pushed her into the fire pit. She went back to her parents' home and cried about the Prince's absurdity, favoring his concubine over his wife. Her mother also blamed her for being incompetent and unable to keep a man's heart. She
also repeatedly warned her not to anger her mother-in-law and husband, otherwise, she would not be able to take care of her brother.
Naturally, no one noticed the Prince's wife's thoughts. After such an incident, Zhao Wanyue also gave up the idea of looking for a partner for Su Lingxi.
Maybe one day the fate will come. Even if there is no suitable one, she will be raised for the rest of her life. She can't let those blind people ruin her.
Now she is still scared when she thinks of the experience of her children in the previous life.
Su Lingxi finally quieted down, but his mind was still buzzing every day, not for anything else, but because of Su Xiaoxiao's daily review.
Su Xiaoxiao has been in school for almost three months now, and she can't even hold a pen properly. The handwriting is uglier than an earthworm.
If Su Xiaoxiao hadn't saved Master Gao's son's life, Master Gao would have caught her long ago.
Master Gao showed 20% of his patience and finally trained Su Xiaoxiao to recite a few poems, but he really couldn't do anything about writing.
Su Lingxi had only taught her for three days, and she was already on the verge of collapse.
She said to Su Xiaoxiao exhaustedly: "Xiaoxiao, do you still have life-saving pills in your bag?"
"Yes, sister, here they are!" Su Xiaoxiao was never stingy with her sister.
Su Lingxi carefully found a box, put the pills away, and handed them to Su Xiaoxiao solemnly, saying: "Xiaoxiao, remember to give these pills to Master Gao when you go to school tomorrow, and remind him to take one pill when he gets angry."
Master Gao is old, don't let him get hurt just to teach her sister a lesson.
Su Xiaoxiao was worried, but Su Changhe had been very quiet recently, not hanging out outside. He only studied at home every day, and occasionally went to Kang Lun for guidance. The rest of the time, he would go to the training ground to find Su Bowen to learn his martial arts.
Su Lingxi joked, "Changhe, you are outdone by Pei Yuan, so you have to cram for the last minute?"
Su Changhe said unashamedly, "Sister, you underestimate me too much. The Spring Examination will be here in a blink of an eye. My opponents are thousands of students. How can I just focus on Pei Yuan!"
Su Lingxi was not disappointed, and said, "Oh, my brother has finally come to his senses. That's good. Finally, there is someone I can worry about!"
Su Changhe put down the book in his hand, She said sincerely: "Sister, don't care about those people's gossip. In my heart, you are the most powerful woman in the world. Don't worry, I will work hard and gain fame. When my parents are old, I will protect our family and no one can bully you."
Su Lingxi felt warm in her heart. She was busy in the past few years and didn't realize that her naughty brother had grown up and knew his responsibilities.
Su Lingxi nodded: "Okay, sister is waiting for you to succeed and protect me!"
The brother and sister were chatting happily, Bai Zhi ran in happily and said: "Miss, something big happened!"
Su Lingxi scolded: "What kind of thing is it to be so reckless, what big thing can happen?"
