"It was Yan Zhirong who couldn't control himself first. He had someone else first. Can you still blame me for breaking off the engagement?"
"It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines in this world. As long as the Xiang family is here, no one can shake your position as the legal wife. What do you have to worry about?"
Xiang Lan never hid her emotions. After hearing what Xiang Ru said, she said unconvincedly, "Who cares about his position as the legal wife? I'm going to marry someone in the future. If it can't be just me, I'll never marry!"
"I really spoiled you." Xiang Ru revealed Xiang Lan's thoughts, "I think you just don't like Yan Zhirong, so you deliberately took this opportunity to cancel the engagement without telling us!"
"Dad, you know better than me why the Yan family agreed to postpone the marriage. They were not attracted by me as a person, but by the power of the Xiang family. If you insist on letting me marry into the Yan family, you are pushing me into the fire pit." After saying this, Xiang Lan ran out of the room.
Seeing that Xiang Lan was not getting his way, Xiang Ru had no choice but to send someone to the Yan family to make arrangements. Butler Xiang felt a little embarrassed when he heard this and told Xiang Ru what had happened in Guanhe Tower.
Previously, the news that Xiang Lan had gone to cancel the engagement herself was not known to everyone. But after the incident at Guanhe Tower, who would dare to marry this fierce daughter of the Xiang family?
Even if the Yan family wanted to marry into the Xiang family, they couldn't bring themselves to do so.
"This rebellious girl is going to piss me off to death." Xiang Ru sighed.
Xiang Ru chose the Yan family because he knew what kind of personality his daughter had. Yan Zhirong would have to rely on herself to climb up in the future, so she would definitely not dare to be harsh on Xiang Lan. Besides, the Yan family at least holds the position of Taifu. Although they have no real power, the reputation is good. If Xiang Lan enters the Yan family, Mrs. Yan's status will not be looked down upon.
He carefully selected a good marriage partner for Xiang Lan, why was Xiang Lan unwilling?
Xiang Lan locked herself in the room and did not come out at dinner time. Xiang Ru had no choice but to go to see Xiang Lan in person with food, only to find that Xiang Lan had disappeared long ago.
He only left a letter, saying that he did not want to stay in the capital and wanted to go to Ning County to find a wet nurse just to relax.
Xiang Ru was so angry that he almost fainted. Ning County was a small border town near the border, and this kind of place was the most dangerous. The Xiang family was willing to take care of the wet nurse until her death, but since the wet nurse wanted to return to her hometown, Xiang Ru could only send someone to send her to Ning County.
"Go and chase the young lady here!"
When we go to Xianglan, we can only climb mountains and play in the water. If we really go to a dangerous place, who can rest assured?
However, before Xiang Ru could wait for his servants to catch up with Xiang Lan, a major incident occurred in the court. Emperor Jing of Wei finally informed all the court officials of Xixia's demands, causing an uproar.
This extremely humiliating request was almost unanimously opposed by all the ministers.
In the end, it was Jian Suining who stood up and analyzed the current threats facing Dayu. Only then did he persuade the ministers to agree to let Su Chenyu bring gifts to Xixia to celebrate the birthday in person.
After this incident, Emperor Jing of Wei valued Jian Suining even more. He had originally planned to make him a prime minister without real power, but slowly changed his mind.
Jian Suining naturally felt the change in Emperor Jing of Wei. He felt a little emotional. Su Chenyu really had a plan for everything. She even took advantage of her own trip to Xixia to celebrate the birthday.
After all the ministers agreed, Emperor Jing of Wei summoned Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing into the palace, and told Su Chenyu the matter with a helpless look on his face.
He thought he would see some reluctance on Su Chenyu's face, but unexpectedly Su Chenyu just asked: "Then has the emperor decided on the birthday gift for the King of Xixia?"
Emperor Jing of Wei was stunned by the question: "Are you willing to go?"
"The Queen is definitely unwilling to agree to this kind of thing. Since you asked me, it means you have the overall situation in mind. After all, Dayu is weak now and cannot change the situation. If I don't go, wouldn't I be disregarding the safety of Dayu? How can I be worthy of being the princess of Dayu?"
