Chapter 1212: Who dares to marry Tang Bao
Old Man Su knew very well that the Zheng family wanted to form a marriage.
However, my little girl didn’t have that intention and just treated the Zheng family’s child as her own brother.
Tang Bao looked at Xuanyuan Jin, then at Old Man Su, blinked, frowned, and said in distress: "Dad, I have always regarded Brother Zheng as my brother. It would feel so weird if I married him."
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Xuanyuan Jin felt that he should be happy, but for some reason, he felt very depressed.
"You won't marry him, he's not worthy of you!" Xuanyuan Jin looked at Tang Bao and said affirmatively.
After saying this, he looked at Old Man Su and continued, "Uncle Su should know that County Magistrate Zheng has always been a smooth-talking person, and Madam Zheng is not a kind-hearted person. Prince Xiao of Northern Qi has made a big fuss about marrying Tang Bao, and the Zheng family will definitely not get involved in this muddy water at this critical juncture."
"Even if they finally agree to this marriage out of consideration for the friendship they have built with the Su family over the years, if something really happens, their family won't be able to protect Tang Bao! They may not even be willing to give up their future to protect Tang Bao!"
Xuanyuan Jin said this with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and added: "Besides, we are of the same blood and the Zheng family will definitely not agree to marry into the Su family, so as not to bring trouble to the entire Zheng family."
Old Man Su: “…”
I opened my mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Because Xuanyuan Jin's analysis was very accurate.
Fortunately, he had never planned to marry into the Zheng family.
"Not only will the Zheng family not marry into the Su family, but other families in the capital will also not marry into the Su family at this time." Xuanyuan Jin continued, "Before the emperor clearly states his position, no one will use the future of the entire family to challenge the imperial power, unless—"
Xuanyuan Jin paused and glanced at Tang Bao.
The little girl was well-behaved, holding her cheeks with both hands, looking at Xuanyuan Jin with great trust.
Xuanyuan Jin didn't know why, but he felt a little soft in his heart.
The voice also carried an imperceptible gentleness.
"Unless that person's status and position can rival the King of Northern Qi, can rival the civil and military officials of the entire court, can be unafraid of the imperial power, can disregard everything for Tang Bao, and can regard Tang Bao as more important than his own life..."
Old Man Su: “…”
After hearing what Xuanyuan Jin said, Old Man Su really wanted to ask, who is that person?
——You?
Old Man Su looked at Xuanyuan Jin, then at his own little girl, but didn't dare to ask.
He felt that if he asked, there would be no way to end it.
"Your Highness, you're overthinking it. I never planned to marry into the Zheng family, let alone marry Tang Bao to a wealthy family in the capital." Old Man Su said, "In a few days, my husband and I will take Tang Bao back to our hometown and find her a wealthy family in the countryside. We'll then prepare more dowry for her so that she won't be bullied by her husband's family."
After Old Man Su finished speaking, he thought about the matter of marrying a son-in-law and said, "Maybe we can find a family with many sons and recruit a live-in son-in-law for Tang Bao. In that case, Tang Bao will not be wronged!"
Old man Su spoke very confidently.
The country people are simple and honest. They don’t have the twists and turns of the wealthy families in the capital, and they don’t know about these messy things. They can always find a good husband for their daughters.
However, after hearing what Old Man Su said, Xuanyuan Jin said with a gloomy face, "Uncle Su, you may not know that Prince Xiao of Northern Qi has always been cunning and ruthless. Over the years, I don't know how many secret agents he has planted in Dayan. By the time Tang Bao's marriage is finalized, she will probably die a violent death."
Old Man Su: “…”
His face suddenly changed.
After all this talk, my little girl has become a hot potato. Can't she get married?
There really is nothing good in the capital!
Now that the Second Prince was gone to obstruct the way, Prince Xiao appeared.
"Dad, I think my brother is right." Tang Bao said seriously: "That King Xiao is indeed not a good person. He is definitely capable of doing such a thing. He is obviously a villain who regards human life as worthless."
What's more, he and his younger brother had tricked him this time and killed so many secret agents of Northern Qi.
When King Xiao finds out he's been tricked, he'll probably hate me and my younger brother to death.
Now is not the time to completely break off relations with Northern Qi, but we have to be on guard against him becoming angry and desperate and resorting to desperate measures.
Old Mrs. Su sighed and said, "Dad, let's talk about Tang Bao's marriage later."
Old Man Su: “…”
Old Man Su wanted to struggle a little longer.
So, he said, "How about we find a young man with a clean family background, good looks, and no parents..."
When Old Man Su said this, he seemed to remember something and his eyes lit up.
He slapped his thigh and raised his voice.
"It's Guard Shen from the mansion. He's eighteen years old this year. I think he's quite good!"
"That young man is handsome, an orphan without a father or mother, and he's also smart and good at kung fu!"
"Even though you're a few years older than Tang Bao, you know how to care for others, right?"
"What do you think, girl?"
Old Man Su asked Tang Bao.
Then, without waiting for Tang Bao to answer, he continued, "Let's not tell others in a big way. Let's just find a son-in-law for Tang Bao and get married. Anyway, Xiao Shen has no family, so we are not afraid of bringing trouble to the family..."
"By then, it's all done. Tang Bao is married, so that King Xiao should have given up, right?"
The more Old Man Su talked, the more he felt that this method would work.
Xuanyuan Jin's face was visibly covered with dark clouds.
The whole person exudes a cold aura.
The air in the room seemed to be stagnant.
Old Mrs. Su's heart sank, and she began to worry about her husband.
The Third Prince has learned Kung Fu.
Old Mrs. Su subconsciously moved closer to Old Man Su.
He thought to himself that if the Third Prince attacked the old man, he could still stop him.
However, Mrs. Su did not expect that Xuanyuan Jin's face suddenly showed an expression of heartache.
"Uncle Su, Tang Bao is your biological daughter, yet you look down on her so much!" Xuanyuan Jin questioned, "She is the princess of Dayan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, someone whom this prince values more than his own life. Yet you want to marry her off to a bodyguard?!"
Old Man Su: “…”
Is he wrong?
"Uncle Su, is Tang Bao really worthless in your heart? Is she only worthy of marrying a person of low status like that?!"
As Xuanyuan Jin spoke, he looked at Old Man Su with eyes full of disbelief, as if Old Man Su had committed an unforgivable crime.
Old Man Su: “…”
When Old Man Su was looked at like this by Xuanyuan Jin, he suddenly felt that he was too negligent as a father and had really wronged his little girl!
His daughter is the best daughter in the world!
There is no man in the world who is worthy of his little girl, let alone a little guard!
He was wrong!
Totally wrong!
He is sorry for his little girl!
How could his precious daughter marry a little guard?!
