Chapter 1072: How should she explain to Su Tang
Bai Shuxiang curled her lips.
"That's hard to say. All men are the same. They eat what's in their bowl and think about what's in the pot."
Her man, the Prince of Yongning, is exactly like that!
On the surface, he is as gentle as jade, a modest gentleman, fanning himself all day long, but inside, he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman.
After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Bai immediately understood what she was thinking.
I feel helpless and a little sad.
Not long after his daughter got married, the Yongning Marquis's Mansion brought in a concubine.
It's simply a slap in the face of the Bai family!
If it weren't for the master's carelessness, the Yongning Marquis would have had the upper hand.
I will definitely not agree to let my daughter suffer this injustice!
Humph! It's just a small Yongning Marquis Mansion!
If it weren't for the Empress Dowager ignoring state affairs and not helping the Bai family.
Why did the daughter of the Bai family suffer such grievances in her husband's family?
The Bai family is clearly the Empress Dowager's family, but the Empress Dowager treats the Bai family so coldly and heartlessly.
He even wanted his master to resign and retire...
Whenever Mrs. Bai thought of this incident, she was filled with dissatisfaction towards the Empress Dowager.
But she didn't dare to show it.
Even in front of his own daughter.
"Your brother just went to the farm to relax with some classmates." Madam Bai had no choice but to say.
After saying that, he looked at his daughter and continued, "You don't stay in the Marquis' Mansion, but always go to your mother's house. Your mother-in-law will definitely have something to say."
"If I don't go back to my parents' house, she won't have anything to say?" Bai Shuxiang snorted, a hint of annoyance on her face. "My third brother failed the exam, and now everyone in the Marquis' Mansion is laughing at me. I can't be bothered to go back and face their faces!"
The eldest lady of the Bai family's face immediately darkened.
"You're the wife of the prince of the Marquis' Mansion. Your mother-in-law is fine, she's an elder after all. But who are the others?!" The eldest lady of the Bai family said sternly, "Anyone who dares to disrespect you will be severely punished! Don't forget, you're the daughter of the Bai family, the great-niece of the Empress Dowager!"
At this time, the eldest lady of the Bai family did not mind using the title of the Empress Dowager to pressure others.
"Mother, I understand." Bai Shuxiang said impatiently, "Of course they don't dare to say anything openly in front of me. They just look for opportunities every day to praise the number one scholar of the Su family in front of me..."
When Bai Shuxiang said this, she almost dropped the cup.
At the time, she boasted that her brother would definitely be the top scholar.
Now these people are saying that, it's obvious that they are deliberately slapping her in the face.
"Right now, the Su family is the most powerful in the entire capital." Bai Shuxiang snorted and said, "Mother, you don't know that my mother-in-law is still thinking of marrying a concubine's daughter from the Marquis' Mansion to the Su family..."
"Thinking about it now, that damned girl Bai Shuyu had quite a good eye back then. She had set her sights on the Su family's fifth son very early on..."
When the eldest lady of the Bai family heard her daughter talking about Bai Shuyu, a look of disgust instinctively appeared on her face.
I was hunting geese all day and got my eyes pecked by a goose!
She was the mistress of the Bai family, but she had been deceived by a mean girl for many years!
If that girl wasn't still somewhat useful, she would definitely not let her off easily!
"Your mother-in-law underestimates the Su family. The Su family already has a princess named Fude, so why would they marry a concubine?" The eldest lady of the Bai family said, "Sending her to be a concubine is almost the same..."
When Mrs. Bai thought of this, her heart moved.
Since that damn girl wants to marry the fifth son of the Su family so badly, why not send her over to be his concubine...
By the way, although Bai Shuqing and Bai Shuan, the brother and sister, knew about the affair between Su Laowu and Princess Huaning when they were in Daliushu Village, they had the same aspirations and neither of them dared to tell their family.
They were born in wealthy families and naturally knew the importance of things.
To the extent that, the eldest lady of the Bai family really didn't know that Su Laowu and Princess Huaning were already in love with each other.
Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to think about it.
The eldest lady of the Bai family always thought that the Queen Mother treated the Su family differently because of Tang Bao.
Bai Shuxiang didn't know what her mother was thinking, so she said, "Mother, in my opinion, it would be better to marry my fifth sister Shuqing to the Su family."
"Although it's a bit unfair to my fifth sister, the fifth son of the Su family is not the eldest son, and his family has no title, but he is still the new top scholar, and his reputation is good."
"Besides, his sister has won the favor of the Emperor and the Third Prince. She will surely rise to a high position in the future..."
"Although Fifth Sister won't be able to become a duke, she can still become an imperial concubine in the future..."
The eldest lady of the Bai family: "..."
It seems that it is possible...
I just don’t know whether the people in the second house agree or not?
The eldest lady of the Bai family then thought that her son could only marry the daughter of the Xia family. The Xia family was only a third-rank official family and could not be of much help to her family. She frowned subconsciously.
As the wedding date approached, the eldest lady became more and more dissatisfied with the marriage.
"I'll discuss this with the old lady someday." The eldest lady hesitated and said, "I'm afraid your uncle and aunt will disapprove of the Su family's low status and won't agree..."
Even though Su Laowu was the new top scholar, the Su family's foundation was still too shallow in the eyes of the aristocratic families.
If it weren't for Tang Bao, the princess's younger sister, who helped improve the Su family's reputation, a family as prominent as the Bai family would never have thought of marrying their daughter into the Su family.
It is precisely because of this that the Yongning Marquisate wanted to use their concubine's daughter to form a marriage with the Su family.
Don’t you know that it’s just wishful thinking!
The Su family wants to marry not only the legitimate daughter, but also the eldest princess of the royal family!
"Grandmother made the decision to let my third brother marry the daughter of the Xia family. Wasn't it to establish ties with the Su family?" Bai Shuxiang said indifferently after hearing the eldest lady's words, "Wouldn't it be better to let my fifth sister marry directly into the Su family now? Regardless of whether my second uncle and second aunt are happy or not, it's up to Grandmother to decide!"
The lady nodded, indeed.
It doesn't make sense that the old lady would only interfere in the marriages of the eldest wife's children and not get involved in the second wife's.
What's more, that girl Shuqing is also a good-for-nothing.
She originally wanted to be the prince's consort, but the third prince didn't even look down on her!
The eldest lady thought about this matter. Although she knew in her heart that it would be more beneficial for the entire Bai family if Bai Shuqing married Xuanyuan Jin.
However, even though Bai Shuqing couldn't get married, the eldest lady was still inexplicably happy.
She naturally noticed that the second wife had always wanted to outdo the first wife in their children's marriages.
Now, the eldest lady is naturally happy to see the second wife's daughter marry into the Su family, which has no foundation at all.
At this time, Bai Shuqing didn't know that her aunt was planning her marriage.
"Did they really leave the city together?" Bai Shuqing asked in shock.
Chun Liu quickly replied, "I saw it with my own eyes. The Third Young Master's carriage was in front, and not far behind was the Zou family's carriage. Although I didn't see the people in the carriage, I know the Zou family's driver..."
Bai Shuqing sat down on the chair.
It’s over… it’s over…
How should she explain this to Su Tang...
