"Mother, please continue speaking." Su Jinyue said.

Jiang Caiping looked serious and said, "Jin Yue, your status is different now, and the Marquis' Mansion can't stand any more rumors now."

Su Jinyue looked at Jiang Caiping, "What does mother mean?"

Jiang Caiping paused for a moment, looked at Su Jinyue with complicated eyes, and slowly said: "You can consider Mr. Li. He has a clean family background and outstanding talents. He is a good match for our Marquis' Mansion."

Su Jinyue sneered calmly, "Mother, do you know what you are saying now?"

"Your Majesty has arranged for me to marry General Xiao. My mother said to postpone the imperial decree and people who don't know would think that the whole capital is ruled by our Su family."

Jiang Caiping's expression suddenly changed, "Jinyue, don't talk nonsense!"

"Mother is still afraid?" Su Jinyue laughed out loud, "I thought you were deliberately going against His Majesty."

Jiang Caiping sat there stiffly, with many words stuck in her throat.

Su Jinyue stood up, her eyes sharp, "Mother, I will take care of my affairs, so please don't bother with the arrangements at the mansion."

"If what happened this time happens again, you won't be able to afford the consequences."

Su Jinyue lowered her eyes and looked at Jiang Caiping, "Mother, is it worth it to do something stupid for Su Zhiyao?"

These words were extremely serious. Jiang Caiping was intimidated by her aura and remained speechless for a long time.

As the night deepened, the house was completely silent, with only the sound of the breeze rustling the windows.

At the same time, Su Jingnian was talking in a low voice with a housekeeper in the corridor not far away.

"Master, is this arrangement appropriate? Should I tell the Madam?"

After Su Jingnian pondered for a moment, he said firmly, "No matter what, we can't let Jin Yue take power."

"As long as we can stabilize her and let her marry into a suitable family, it will be the greatest guarantee for our mansion, not to mention mother's side."

The butler nodded, then said hesitantly, "But Master, if Madam knew that we were doing something around her, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

It was late at night, and the lights in the mansion gradually went out. Only the moonlight sprinkled like water, shrouding the entire mansion in silence.

Qin Qiong landed silently on the eaves of Old Madam Su's house, his eyes alert and sharp.

The next morning, everything was normal.

At this moment, the first ray of morning light appeared in the sky. Su Jinyue stretched and turned to look at the window, already having a plan in mind.

"Miss, breakfast is ready." Xiao Tao stood at the door and said sweetly.

"Okay, got it." Su Jinyue nodded, smiling gently, "Do you have any special plans today?"

Xiao Tao shook her head, "Nothing special, but the old lady asked you to meet her later."

Su Jinyue's heart moved slightly, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and then smiled brightly, "Okay, then let's go first."

Su Jinyue walked slowly towards Old Madam Su's residence. When passing through the garden, several servants were whispering.

"Have you heard that Master Li Mohan came to visit last night? He is a great talent from the Hanlin Academy. He might want to marry our princess!"

"Oh, that's a perfect match. The Li family is a well-educated family, and they are a perfect match for our eldest daughter."

"You may not know this, but I heard that Master Li is a favorite of the Emperor. If this works, our mansion will be able to move to a higher level!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Our eldest lady was married off by His Majesty. Be careful if the master hears you or he will beat you with a stick!"

Su Jinyue did not stop, but a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Just arrived outside the old lady's yard.

The nanny came out and said, "Miss, the old lady is waiting for you inside."

As she stepped into the room, Su Jinyue saw Old Madam Su sitting on the high seat.

"Jin Yue is here, come and sit down." Old Madam Su waved her hand, her tone calm but with a hint of urgency.

Su Jinyue sat down as she was told and looked directly at Old Madam Su: "Grandma, what's the matter?"

"Jin Yue, Li Mohan is indeed a talented child." Old Madam Su went straight to the point, with a gleam in her eyes.

Yesterday I mentioned Jiang Caiping was not enough, and today there is another one.

Su Jinyue pretended to be confused and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean, Grandma?"

"You are also aware of the Li family's background. Marrying with us will only benefit the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. What's more, your engagement with General Xiao..." Old Madam Su paused meaningfully in the middle of her words.

"Grandma, marriage is not a joke. What's more, the imperial decree cannot be disobeyed." Su Jinyue retorted calmly.

Madam Su sighed: "Jin Yue, I am doing this for your own good and for the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion."

"Grandma, is this for my own good? Or is it for the Ningyuan Marquisate?" Su Jinyue smiled slightly, her tone calm, but there were no waves in her heart.

Madam Su frowned when she heard this, "For the sake of our mansion, that is, for your future!"

Su Jinyue found this statement a little funny. "If I marry into the Zhenguo Mansion, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the future of our mansion?"

"You..." Old Madam Su was speechless for a moment. She knew Su Jinyue's temper very well. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult to shake it.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a slightly panicked announcement, "Madam, someone is coming from the palace! He said that His Majesty is calling the young lady to enter the palace immediately!"

The arrival of someone from the palace immediately made the atmosphere in the room tense.

Su Jinyue stood up and bowed to Madam Su: "Grandma, the palace has come to summon you for a big event, so I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Su Jinyue left quickly, leaving Old Madam Su behind. She squinted her eyes and speculated in her heart.

Xiao Tao followed closely behind, jogging and asking, "Miss, why did the palace suddenly summon you? Could it be because of what happened to Master Li last night?"

Su Jinyue said, "He just came to eat at my house. He is my grandmother's guest. He has nothing to do with me. You don't have to follow me into the palace today. Stay in the yard and watch over the things in the storehouse."

"Yes, Xiaotao understands!"

The palace is majestic and looks even more solemn under the sunlight.

The Su family's carriage approached the palace gate and stopped outside it. Su Jinyue got off the carriage and followed the young eunuch into the palace gate.

Su Jinyue was led to the imperial study.

After the guard informed her, she slowly pushed the door open and walked in, only to see the emperor sitting behind his desk, playing with a string of Buddhist beads in his hands.

"Jinyue pays respect to Your Majesty." Su Jinyue saluted.
