Yu Zhong, the Minister of the Dali Temple, was filled with grief and indignation. He thought that he had entered the government at the age of 18, and now he had been favored by His Majesty and was fortunate enough to be promoted to the third rank. However, he had not even married yet and was teased by a little girl every other day. His butt was stared at like this all day long...

Where can he put his face?!

Su Juan had no intention of teasing him, but since he was fair-skinned and had a nice butt, she started to think quickly.

Wu Yuanhou couldn't believe it. He stared at Yu Zhong from head to toe, his eyes finally falling on his butt... Apart from anything else, his butt was indeed more perky than that of most people.

Looking at Yu Zhong's butt, Bai Ziling's pupils widened slightly. Sister Su's preference is really unique.

He subconsciously touched his butt. If his butt became bigger, would Sister Su also look at him?

Yu Zhong walked quickly to the three people and said respectfully to Wu Yuanhou, "I was delayed for a while because of something important today. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I am ignorant and made you wait here. It is my fault. Please come in, Your Majesty."

Wu Yuanhou smiled as he walked, "It's okay, it's not a big deal. I'm in good health, I just stood for a while."

Yu Zhong was walking beside Wu Yuanhou and could clearly feel two pairs of eyes staring at him, and he was very nervous.

Su Juan sighed, "It's a pity that we can't take pictures."

Yu Zhong: “…” He felt unclean.

Bai Ziling looked at Yu Zhong with even more enthusiasm. When he returned, he would seek out the court physician to study and learn how he could be like Lord Yu.

After finishing the business that day, Su Juan left early. When Yu Zhong saw Wu Yuanhou off, Wu Yuanhou glanced at his grandson beside him and asked him to wait in the carriage. He then asked Yu Zhong, "I see that Lord Yu is still young. Do you have a family?"

Being asked this question suddenly, Yu Zhong was even stunned for a moment, "To answer your question, my Lord, I have not yet married."

He met Wu Yuanhou only because of this case, and he had no idea why Wu Yuanhou suddenly asked him about his family.

Wu Yuanhou: "I wonder if you have any plans to discuss marriage recently?"

Yu Zhong smiled, "My family is indeed preparing for a marriage."

Wu Yuanhou was originally asking for his grandson's help. When he heard Yu Zhong say this, he immediately said, "Then Lord Yu, please ask your family to ask around and find a girl who is well-educated, sensible, and gentle. Only then can you live a smooth life in the future."

Yu Zhong: “?”

Aren’t Wu Yuanhou’s words a bit too dense?

He immediately became suspicious.

Seeing Yu Zhong's reaction, Wu Yuanhou immediately realized that he had said too much. He laughed dryly and stroked his beard, "This marquis just saw that Master Yu was very close to him, so I said a few more words. Master Yu, please don't be offended."

Yu Zhong didn't believe that Wu Yuanhou really felt close to him. He was afraid that he had some intention, but he was in front of him and couldn't refute him. He had to go along with what he said, "I have listened to your words, sir. Thank you for your concern. I will marry a well-educated and gentle woman in the future."

Wu Yuanhou nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and got on the carriage.

When marrying a wife, one should marry one who is well-educated, sensible and gentle. A girl like Su Yuanwailang, who is neither well-educated nor sensible, and who always shows up in public, would be better off marrying into his Wuyuanhou Mansion.

...

The Ministry of Justice investigated the case smoothly, with both witnesses and evidence available. They also uncovered a number of officials who had been found guilty of corruption and bribery, and took them all into custody.

At the same time, the Su family married off their daughter with a grand banquet, but on the Xin family's side, Xin Zhang was the second son, was not favored, and was always suppressed by the eldest son, so the wedding was not very grand.

After all, Su Juan is the legitimate daughter of the Su family, so she still has to go back to the Su family. She sees that the betrothal gift is shabby, not even one-tenth of the dowry. It is obvious that the Xin family really dislikes this son, otherwise they would not have arranged a marriage for Xin Zhang with the daughter of a merchant.

The Xin family simply felt that the Su family's daughter, Su Juan, was favored by the emperor, so they made friends with the Su family, thinking it would be profitable.

But unexpectedly, he was too lazy to even try to save face.

Before Su Juan even stepped into Su Lingling's yard, she heard her losing her temper.

"What does the Xin family mean? Are they trying to humiliate their daughter?" Su Lingling was so angry that she even wanted to throw things, but when she thought that today was her wedding day, she endured it.

Mrs. Su sighed, naturally feeling sorry for her daughter. She was going to get married today, but the Xin family was deliberately delaying the wedding. The wedding procession should have arrived at the door by now, but Xin Zhang had just sent a servant to say that there were some problems with the ceremonial procession, and he had gone to deal with it, so the Su family should wait a little longer.

That day, she only thought about Xin Zhang's future, but she didn't expect the Xin family to be so hostile. They have always known that Su Juan no longer lives in the Su Mansion and is not close to the Su Mansion. Now they are thinking of showing off their power before even entering the door. Now, she can only comfort her daughter.

"Just be patient. Xin Zhang is a promising man. When he becomes an official in the imperial court and establishes his own family, you can live outside by yourselves. The Xin family will not be a problem for you. Don't be angry with Xin Zhang. It will cause trouble for the Xin family. But since you are going to be husband and wife, husband and wife should share the same hatred and enemies."

Thinking of Xin Zhang's face, Su Lingling finally calmed down a little, "My daughter is not angry with him, but angry at the Xin family for being so difficult..."

"I don't know how much injustice Xin Zhang suffered in the Xin Mansion in the past!"

She curled her lips and said, "Mom, I remember everything you said. I won't argue with Xin Zhang."

Besides, even if he was really angry, how could he be angry facing Xin Zhang's face?

Madam Su gave a few more instructions, "The Xin family proposed marriage that day, probably for your sister. Although our Su family has some money, we are still inferior to those dignitaries. Now our reputation in the outside world depends on her. If she comes later, you must talk to her properly and don't act like a spoiled child like before. Remember?"

Su Lingling nodded. "You have said this many times. We are one family and we don't have different opinions. I understand."

In the past, I was afraid that she would come back and snatch my father and mother from me, so I always used some verbal skills to target her, but I am not really stupid. Su Juan is now an official in the court and is favored by the emperor. This marriage of mine is also due to her. It is true that there is no sisterly love between them, but since I have benefited from her, I should behave myself. Su Lingling still understands this truth.

Seeing that Su Lingling had become much more sensible now, Madam Su was relieved immediately, but she couldn't help but feel sad. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "You are going to get married in the blink of an eye. I really can't bear to let you go. Thinking back to the time when you were willful and naughty, I won't be able to protect you if you get into trouble in the future..."

"My daughter is also reluctant to leave her mother..."

The mother and daughter cried together.

Su Juan stood in the yard, listening to the crying, and was silent for a moment. In the end, she did not go in, as she did not want to disturb the warm and gentle atmosphere.
