"Your Majesty!" Wang Zhang hurriedly called out to Su Wanyan, his brows furrowed with worry: "If Your Majesty is to receive the Lady of Yuanning Marquis, there is something Your Majesty needs to know."
"What's up?"
"A few days ago, the Lady of Yuanning Marquis came to see Your Highness, but the Prince ordered her to be sent away. Later, the Prince ordered Guard Tian to search for all the eligible men in the capital in an attempt to arrange Su Muqing's marriage, but... the result was less than satisfactory."
Su Muqing's reputation was already ruined before she went insane, and after she went insane, she became a laughing stock in the capital.
Therefore, no one from the prominent families in the capital would propose marriage to the Marquis of Yuanning anymore; even if they did marry, they would only be able to become someone else's concubine.
However, Yu Nanqing's list treated Marquis Yuanning quite well, and under pressure from Yu Nanqing's secret combination of kindness and coercion, all of them were willing to marry Su Muqing as their principal wife.
Naturally, their family background is not as good as that of the Marquis of Yuanning, but this is undoubtedly the best possible outcome.
On this matter, Marquis Su Youwei of Yuanning intended to compromise. After all, the longer Su Muqing stayed in the manor in her current wretched state, the worse the reputation of the Marquis of Yuanning's manor would become.
A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; he couldn't be more eager to marry Su Muqing off, even if it was just as a concubine.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Yuhuai strongly opposed it. How could her daughter, whom she had raised with great difficulty, be so easily married off to those ordinary people?
Her daughter is destined to be an outstanding person.
If it were the old Su Muqing, she might have had a chance if she competed with the best of the best, but now that she's gone mad, what's the point of competing?
Zhen Yuhuai and Su Youwei have argued countless times over this matter, and most of the arguments end badly.
Su Wanyan never expected that Yu Nanqing had done such a thing.
“So Your Highness…” Wang Zhang hesitated, “The Lady of Yuanning Marquis has come with great force this time, I’m afraid she has ulterior motives. Perhaps… we should wait for the Prince to return before making a decision?”
Su Wanyan smiled and said, "It's alright, let her in."
It's really strange. Yu Nanqing is so ruthless in other aspects, so why is she being so kind as to play matchmaker for Su Muqing in this matter?
He couldn't figure out the intricacies of this situation. Would he be deceived by those old foxes when he tried to win over the court officials in the future?
Looking back, it's not that bad; Yu Nanqing isn't a child.
Su Youwei had already advocated giving up on Su Muqing, but Zhen Yuhuai was still struggling to hold on. If it weren't for Zhen Yuhuai's insistence on disagreeing, Su Muqing's marriage would probably have been arranged.
Once Su Muqing is married, the people from the Marquis of Yuanning's mansion will no longer disturb her peace. That must be Yu Nanqing's plan.
This matter can only be attributed to Zhen Yuhuai's persistence.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Su Wanyan could understand Zhen Yuhuai to some extent. What mother doesn't want her daughter to marry a good husband? Who would want to marry their daughter down if they could marry up?
Unfortunately, Zhen Yuhuai probably still hasn't grasped the current situation.
Seeing that Su Wanyan insisted, Wang Zhang didn't say anything more and respectfully nodded: "Yes."
The main hall of Prince Gong's Mansion.
When Zhen Yuhuai was invited up, Su Wanyan was already sitting in the main seat waiting.
Huang Ye brought Su Wanyan a cup of tea. Su Wanyan leisurely took a sip. Zhen Yuhuai was still angry at the moment. Seeing Su Wanyan's leisurely scene, he had nowhere to vent his anger.
But when she thought of the purpose of her visit to Prince Gong's Mansion, Zhen Yu clenched her fist in her sleeve, forced a smile, stepped forward and curtsied: "Your subject Zhen greets Your Highness the Princess."
Su Wanyan put down her teacup, showing no respect for her: "Go ahead and keep cursing. You're so happy cursing outside, but why are you acting like a quail when it comes to me?"
Zhen Yuhuai gritted her teeth, almost breaking them, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, saying, "Look at what Your Majesty is saying, how could I dare? You know I was just joking."
If she hadn't given her that dressing-down at the door, would Su Wanyan have even seen her?
However, she didn't come here today to argue with Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan didn't care: "So, what do you want to do at Prince Gong's Mansion?"
"Your Majesty speaks frankly, so I will get straight to the point." Zhen Yuhuai looked anxious but had to remain calm: "I remember Your Majesty said before that Su Muqing could come to the Prince's mansion as a concubine. I was ignorant at the time, but now I have thought about it again and again. If your sister also enters the Prince's mansion, you two sisters will have someone to rely on, which would be a very good thing."
"..." These words almost made Su Wanyan burst out laughing.
What the heck?
She thought Zhen Yuhuai came to see her so that Xiao Chensheng could go to the Yuan Ning Marquis's mansion to cure Su Muqing, but she didn't expect that he would ask to send Su Muqing to the Prince's mansion as a concubine.
She was truly speechless.
At that time, Yu Nanqing's leg ailment had not yet healed, and she was paralyzed on one side. Although she let Su Muqing into the mansion as a concubine partly out of anger towards her, she still remembers the look of disgust and shock on Zhen Yuhuai's face at that time.
Su Wanyan couldn't help but shake her head with a smile. She was truly impressed by her shamelessness. Who gave her the audacity to bring this up so brazenly?
When Yu Nanqing is in a bad situation, they avoid him like the plague, but when he's doing well, they flock to him one after another. Are they some kind of despicable people?
Seeing that she remained silent, Zhen Yuhuai pressed on, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Mu Qing is merely a concubine in the mansion and will never threaten your position."
In fact, Zhen Yuhuai also had her own plans. As early as when she heard that the Valley Master of Baiyou Valley was coming to the capital, she had already made up her mind to ask Su Wanyan to have the Valley Master of Baiyou Valley treat Su Muqing.
But then I thought again, why bother with all that trouble?
If Su Muqing is sent directly to Prince Gong's mansion, do you think Prince Gong will ignore her?
Once Su Muqing enters Prince Gong's mansion, getting the Valley Master of Baiyou Valley to treat her will be a piece of cake.
Moreover, Su Muqing is currently mentally unstable, but what if she recovers in the future?
Su Muqing is no less capable than Su Wanyan; she excels in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If Su Muqing regains her senses, wouldn't she be able to easily manipulate Prince Gong in the future?
Su Muqing has no hope of entering the palace, but entering Prince Gong's mansion has many advantages. She will have power and influence, and even if she is just a concubine, she can hold her head high when she walks on the street.
Perhaps in the future she can compete with Su Wanyan for the title of principal wife.
It's better than marrying some unknown country bumpkin!
Seeing her mistress so angry, Huang Ye couldn't bear it any longer and frowned as she spoke up: "What a joke! Her own daughter has gone mad, and she's thinking of handing her over to the Prince's mansion to get rid of her. It seems like she's doing this for the Empress's good, but in reality, she just wants to take advantage of the Prince's power. The Lady of Yuanning Marquis is really good at playing the abacus!"
Perhaps it was because he had spent a lot of time with Su Wanyan, but Huang Ye, who was usually not very talkative, suddenly spoke as if Su Wanyan had possessed him.
