Chapter 24 Marry Two If You Like



"So what?"

Su Jinyue smiled slightly, "Do you have any say in this?"

Su Zhiyao tightened her grip around Jiang Caiping's arm, looking as if she was extremely afraid of Su Jinyue.

"Sister, all mother has done is for you. It doesn't matter if you hate me, but please don't misunderstand mother."

It was these true words that made her coaxing mother think she was an ungrateful person. She loved Su Zhiyao like a treasure, but now she treated her like a worn-out shoe.

If she could take action now, Su Jinyue would really want to kill Su Zhiyao with her own hands!

Jiang Caiping sighed and said in a softer voice, "Let your sister go to the marriage of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion on your behalf."

Su Jinyue's heart, which was already icy cold, was further chilled by Jiang Caiping's words.

"Mother, are you serious?" Su Jinyue said coldly.

“You heard it right!”

Jiang Caiping said, "Don't think that marrying into the Zhenguo Mansion is a good thing. If you marry into it with your appearance, you will only suffer."

"I have already told your sister, and she also thinks it doesn't matter if she is wronged a little, and is willing to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for you, so you can marry into the Xie family."

Su Zhiyao said softly, "My daughter doesn't feel wronged. I also want to share the worries of my mother and the Marquis' Mansion."

"Oh, secretly changing identities and replacing the arranged marriage. If mother wants to exterminate the entire clan, just say so directly. Why bother beating around the bush and making things so troublesome?"

Jiang Caiping's expression changed, "Su Jinyue!"

Su Jinyue's tone was light, but the words she said were enough to scare people to death.

"The emperor has granted the marriage, so if you want me to marry you, then I will marry you. This kingdom does not belong to our Su family, so you can do whatever you want."

Jiang Caiping stood up suddenly, "Do you know what you are saying? You are disobeying your superiors!"

"oh."

Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows in understanding, "So mother knows that this is disobedient? I thought mother didn't understand the laws of our Great Zhou."

These words seemed to have touched Jiang Caiping's sore spot. She seemed to be covering up her guilty conscience and said, "How can these two things be compared?"

"The imperial edict only said that the Marquis's daughter was his legitimate daughter, but did not mention her name, so this does not count as a replacement marriage."

Su Zhiyao also said, "Mother, please don't embarrass my sister."

"Although I am willing to give up my relationship with Qingxu for the Marquis's Mansion, but... you can't ask my sister to give up the marriage with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. After all..."

Su Zhiyao was a little embarrassed to speak, "Sister is in such a mess with the Xie family now. If she doesn't marry into the Zhenguo Mansion, there will be many rumors about her outside. I am afraid that she will have a hard time in the future."

Jiang Caiping felt a bitter feeling in her heart, "Zhiyao, I wish your sister could be half as sensible as you."

Su Jinyue had long since stopped caring about Su Zhiyao's performance. "Don't forget, the marriage decree for Su Zhiyao specifically named her as Xie Qingxu's second wife."

"But it doesn't matter. She can be Xie Qingxu's second wife, which won't prevent her from marrying into the Zhenguo Mansion."

Su Jinyue actually laughed at herself, "In this case, mother will have to worry more and arrange another wedding for her."

Jiang Caiping never expected that Su Jinyue would blurt out these words.

"you!"

She had always been fighting on the battlefield, but at this moment she couldn't find a word to rebuke Su Jinyue!

Su Jinyue looked at Su Zhiyao with a smile on her face, "You are the first woman to marry two husbands in history. Congratulations."

Su Zhiyao’s face was pale, and she felt as if her body weighed a thousand pounds as she sat next to Jiang Caiyue.

"You! Get out of here!" Jiang Caiping slammed the table and yelled at Su Jinyue.

"It just so happens that I am also tired, so my daughter will leave first."

Su Jinyue bowed calmly to Jiang Caiping, turned around and walked out, leaving the two people in the room full of anger.

After Su Jinyue left, Su Zhiyao threw herself into Jiang Caiping's arms and cried aggrievedly, "Mother, it's all my daughter's fault for being useless."

"How can I blame you for this?"

Jiang Caiping wiped Su Zhiyao's tears and said, "She has no say in the matter of the arranged marriage, and you don't have to pay attention to her words. If she bullies you again, mother will support you."

Su Zhiyao shook her head with red eyes, "Sister didn't bully me. I know that sister just has a little temper."

"Don't be so sensible, kid. You are also my daughter." Jiang Caiping touched Su Zhiyao's head lovingly, "My mother will never let you suffer any injustice."

"Yes." Su Zhiyao smiled and nodded, "Then mother, please take a rest first. Your daughter will not disturb you here."

Jiang Caiping nodded and said, "Let's go back."

She stepped out of the room pitifully, and the moment she saw Yuehua, the pitiful expression on Su Zhiyao's face faded, and she winked at her.

The two of them went outside the courtyard together, and Su Zhiyao smiled and said, "Sister Yuehua, did mother ask you about the internal accounts of the mansion?"

"Don't worry, Miss. Madam doesn't suspect anything." Yuehua said.

Su Zhiyao chuckled, "Why should I be worried? I'm worried about you, Sister Yuehua."

"You usually take care of the accounts for Mother. It would be bad if my sister caused a rift between you and Mother."

Yuehua's expression tightened. "Miss, what do you know about the internal accounts of the mansion? The accounts of the mansion have been a bit messy recently. I can take care of it during this period of time."

"Oh, by the way, young lady." Yuehua said meaningfully, "Our Donghua Silk Shop has recently received a batch of Qingyanluo, which is a very light, thin and smooth satin. I thought this brocade would suit young lady, so I kept it for her."

Su Zhiyao covered her lips and chuckled, "I'd like to trouble Sister Yuehua to keep an eye on it for me. Please transfer the money."

"Qingyanluo is more expensive, costing two hundred taels of silver per piece." Yuehua said.

"Yeah." Su Zhiyao nodded. "It's not cheap, it costs four hundred taels of silver per piece. But I'm going to attend a banquet in two days, so it's okay to make expensive clothes."

When Yuehua heard Su Zhiyao raise the price to four hundred taels of silver, her eyes turned and she immediately understood what she meant.

"Don't worry, young lady. I will do my best to buy the brocade for you. It is only right that gorgeous clothes go with a beautiful woman."

"Yuehua, you are sensible."

Su Zhiyao was flattered by Yuehua, "You will benefit from me in the future. When I marry into the Zhenguo Mansion, your good days are still to come."

"Yes!" Yuehua bent down and said, "I will definitely be loyal to you, young lady!"

At that time, when Su Jinyue returned to Wangyuexuan, she saw all kinds of things piled up all over the yard.

The door of her room was wide open, and several servants were going in and out, moving things inside.

"What are you doing?" Su Jinyue frowned.

Xiao Tao was originally standing at the door, stamping her feet anxiously. She turned around and saw her young lady coming back, so she quickly ran down the stairs in two steps.

She almost cried out of anxiety, "Miss! I told them not to touch your things, but they didn't listen to me!"

"They threw out all the things that the young lady usually uses, and are moving in...the things that the old lady bought for you."

Su Jinyue looked at the people coming in and out and said, "Put all my things back now!"

Those who were busy running back and forth stopped for only a moment when they heard Su Jinyue's words.

The maids and servants looked at each other and continued to work busily. No one took Su Jinyue's words to heart.
