"Oh." Su Zhiyao said in distress, "It's not a good idea to say this."

Su Cheng was a little anxious, "Zhiyao, just tell us. We two are your brothers, there is nothing you can't say!"

Su Zhiyao said: "Unless the young general already had someone he liked, and he and his wife were married before my sister got married..."

After saying that, Su Zhiyao shook her head again, "Brother, don't listen to me. I was just joking."

"No!"

Su Jingnian nodded, "Zhiyao, you are right. Who said that Xiao Duo won't meet someone he likes before getting married?"

Su Zhiyao looked at Su Jingnian innocently, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"Zhiyao, are you willing to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for the sake of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Su Zhiyao paused and whispered, "I am the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. For the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, I am willing to do anything..."

She seemed too shy to continue speaking and ran back to her room, covering her face.

Outside, Su Jingnian still thought he had come up with the best solution and promised it with a pat on his chest.

"Leave this matter to me and Cheng Jiang, and you just wait to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"

In the two days after the imperial decree granting the marriage, Su Jinyue lived a peaceful life in the Marquis' Mansion.

This was the most comfortable day she had had since returning to the Marquis' Mansion.

In the evening, Su Jinyue was tending to the herbs in the backyard when Lan Shaocong came over and said, "Miss, the old lady asked you to have dinner together in the front hall."

Su Jinyue raised her eyes and saw Lan Shao staring at her herb garden after she came in. Her expression faded. "I told you that you are not allowed to enter the backyard. If you have anything to say, tell Xiao Tao. Have you forgotten what I told you?"

She was not convinced in her heart, but thinking of the old lady's order, Lan Shao lowered her head and curled her lips perfunctorily: "Xiao Tao is busy in the front yard. I think it doesn't matter who reports."

"Got it." Su Jinyue said, "You go out first."

After Lan Shao left, Su Jinyue washed her hands and returned to the front yard.

Xiao Tao came forward nervously, "Miss, I was cleaning the house just now, and I didn't know Lan Shao went to the backyard. I didn't keep an eye on her."

"It's okay." Su Jinyue said, "Please accompany me to the front hall. My grandmother asked me to come over for dinner."

"Yes, miss."

On the way to the front hall, Xiao Tao couldn't help but ask, "The old lady never asks you to eat in the front hall. What happened today?"

It's just that she got the marriage arranged by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so her grandmother just has to do some superficial work.

"You'll know when you go there." Su Jinyue said lightly.

In the front hall, the maid standing outside opened the curtain, and Su Jinyue walked in with Xiaotao.

She raised her eyes and took a quick look. It turned out that all the people who had been in the front hall recently were present.

Su Jinyue stepped forward and bowed, "Grandmother, father, mother, second uncle and aunt."

Old Lady Su sat in the main seat and waved to Su Jinyue with a smile, "Jinyue, come sit next to grandma."

"Yes." Su Jinyue responded and walked to sit next to Old Madam Su.

As soon as she sat down, Liu spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Jin Yue is so great that she got the marriage granted by His Majesty. She came late after all the elders were present, and she's already putting on airs before she's even married yet!"

After Liu's words came out, Su Jingnian and Su Chengjiang looked at Su Jinyue with even more displeasure.

Su Zhiyao sat next to Jiang Caiping and said with a smile: "Sister must have been delayed by something."

"What are you delaying for?" Liu glanced at Su Jinyue sideways, as if she looked down on her.

"What could possibly happen if she stays in the yard all day? She is always disrespectful to her elders. Zhiyao, you don't need to speak for her."

Su Qiaoshan sat next to Liu and said impatiently, "Say less!"

"I'm not wrong. The whole family is waiting for her here. How could I have wronged her?" said Liu.

Su Qiaoshan slammed his chopsticks down and said coldly: "They are all our children, are you trying to make everyone in the family feel alienated?"

After he said this, Liu kept her head down and said nothing more, but she still felt a little upset.

Su Jinyue hadn't said a word since she sat down. She watched their performance and found it quite funny.

Her beautiful eyes glanced at Suqiao Mountain not far away.

Her second uncle did not have Su Yan's ability, and was just an idle civil servant in the court.

This person is the best at getting along with everyone, and he is unwilling to offend anyone who is beneficial to him.

Su Jinyue could guess the reason why he was willing to speak for her today. If she could marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she would naturally be the most useful connection for him.

Old Lady Su raised her hand and asked the maids to serve the dishes. "Today is a reunion dinner, so stop saying those unhappy things."

After that, Old Lady Su said to Su Jinyue, "Jinyue, I asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes today, all of which are your favorites."

Su Jinyue raised the corner of her mouth, "Thank you, grandma."

Seeing Su Jinyue being so well-behaved, Old Lady Su nodded happily.

After the dishes were served, everyone ate for a while, and Su Qiaoshan toasted Su Yan with a glass of wine, "Brother, you have been at the border for many years, and it is not easy for you to come back this time. In a few days, I will set up a table for you at Dingsheng Building and invite my colleagues to welcome you."

“No!”

Su Yan said in a cold voice, and his attitude softened again, "What I mean is, I will take Jingnian and Cheng Jiang to the border tomorrow, so there is no need for a welcoming ceremony."

Su Zhiyao's face turned pale and she looked at the two brothers sitting next to her.

Su Chengjiang immediately looked at Su Yan and said, "Father, why are you so anxious? The wedding banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. It won't be too late to leave after the banquet!"

"Yes, father." Su Jingnian said, "The border issue should not be a big deal."

Su Yan frowned and did not respond to the two.

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Su Qiaoyuan said, "You finally came back, so you can stay in the mansion for a while longer."

While everyone was persuading Su Yan to stay, Su Jinyue silently picked up the tea at hand and took a sip.

She lowered her eyes to look at the ripples of the tea in the cup, and all she wanted to do was sneer in her heart.

Others didn't know why, but after being reborn, she of course knew why Su Yan was so anxious.

He said he was asking for leave, but in fact, he, the commander-in-chief, returned to Beijing without reporting to the emperor, just for Su Zhiyao's marriage.

Originally, this matter would not have been a big deal if it had not been exposed. It was a pity that the subsequent border incident and the suffering of many people were all caused by him!

Now that she has been reborn and knows what will happen in advance, she must not ignore the lives of the people in the two cities!

At that time, Jiang Caiping also spoke up, "My Lord, there is no rush to go to the border. You can go back after Zhiyao's wedding is over."
