Chapter 1228: Tell Su Tang
In the end, among the Su family's sisters-in-law, only Su Dasao went to Prince Ning's mansion to celebrate his birthday.
It wasn't Old Lady Su who stopped them, but Fourth Sister-in-law Su said that since they had just arrived, one of the sisters-in-law could represent them.
Everything should be done step by step.
They were not familiar with these wealthy families in the capital. Even if they did not care about other people's intentions, if too many people went there, mistakes would always be made.
What's more, it seems like he deliberately brought his family to someone's house for a banquet.
It would be better to wait until Mrs. Su becomes familiar with the ladies' circle, and then slowly take them to social events.
Mrs. Su thought about what Fourth Sister Su said and felt that it made sense.
Su Ersao was filled with disappointment and felt that she had taken off her clothes in vain.
"The eldest and second eldest families, Da Pan and Er Pan are all at the age to get married. In my opinion, if there is a suitable girl, we can take the opportunity to meet her." said Old Mrs. Su.
Having been treated coldly in the villa of Prince Rong's Mansion, Old Lady Su had given up on marrying into a wealthy family in the capital.
However, the Su family’s status is different now.
Moreover, most of the people invited by Prince Rong’s Mansion were naturally people from the lineage of Prince Rong’s Mansion, or people who were related to Prince Rong’s Mansion and had connections with it.
Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Min had an unpleasant quarrel, so naturally those people would not get close to Old Madam Su.
After Old Lady Su realized this, she decided to meet Princess Ning again on her birthday.
She was originally the daughter of the Duke of England, so she naturally understood that banquets held by wealthy families were often opportunities for different families to meet each other.
Old Mrs. Su understood that this was the situation for her daughters-in-law's generation. There were fewer sisters-in-law, and except for the second daughter-in-law, they were all law-abiding. The brothers also lived in harmony, so there was no chaos in the family.
It’s different for the eldest grandson. He has a large group of brothers and cousins. The future mistress of the house must be a woman from a wealthy family who has been carefully educated since childhood and can support the marquis’s mansion and intimidate her sisters-in-law.
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Mrs. Su felt heartbroken when she thought of her son's appearance.
Mrs. Su's eyes lit up.
She knew that her son would definitely marry a lady from a wealthy family!
"Mother is right. It's time to arrange the marriages of Da Pan and Er Pan." Second Sister-in-law Su said with a beaming face, "We have to choose our daughter-in-law carefully. Not everyone can enter the gate of our mansion!"
After Su Ersao finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Tang Bao.
"Aunt, I heard that the Fourth Princess is almost old enough to get married." Second Sister Su said excitedly, "I haven't seen the Fourth Princess yet. Isn't she as beautiful as a flower? Look at your second nephew..."
Mrs. Su didn't finish her words, staring at Tang Bao with shining eyes.
Tang Bao: “…”
Full of black lines.
Her second sister-in-law's thoughts were too obvious to be true.
"Second sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law is the current eldest princess and will soon marry into the Su family." Tang Bao reminded.
Mrs. Su: "..."
It's been a while.
Well, the fifth brother’s wife is also a princess.
There is a big difference in generations, so my son has no chance.
Su Ersao deeply regretted that she could not marry a princess as her daughter-in-law.
As for whether her daughter-in-law's background would affect her prestige if it was much higher than her mother-in-law's, Su Ersao had already forgotten about it.
"That's true." Second Sister Su said regretfully, "However, since my aunt is a princess, the status of my niece-in-law can't be too low, right? Little aunt, look at this princess in the capital..."
If I can’t marry a princess, a princess will be fine, right?
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Su rubbed her head and said.
How many princesses are there in the entire capital?
The second grandson is just a student now, and the second son’s family is really bold!
Mrs. Su didn't think so much and didn't have any requirements for her daughter-in-law's status.
She only hoped that her son would change his mind after he got engaged.
"Your Highness, Princess Linghua is here." A maid came over and reported in a low voice.
Qian Yuemei's eyes lit up.
The sister-in-law really knows the princess!
Qian Yuemei looked at Tang Bao with eager eyes.
Tang Bao felt the gaze of her second sister-in-law and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Then he stood up and left the pavilion, and had Princess Linghua taken to his own courtyard.
**
Bai Shuqing was in her room, turning around in circles.
What should she do?
Should she tell Su Tang?
Zou Shuqin was pregnant with my third brother's child, and my grandmother and aunt had already imprisoned her in the backyard...
However, my grandmother also issued a gag order.
If anyone leaks this matter, he will not be forgiven.
Bai Shuqing was torn between his conscience and his desires.
Finally, she looked down at her goose yellow dress, gritted her teeth, turned around and walked out.
This dress was made for her stitch by stitch by Su Tang.
Su Tang treated her as a friend, and Xia Siya also treated her as a friend. She couldn't break her promise and help her grandmother and others keep this a secret.
"Stop! Where do you want to go?"
As soon as Bai Shuqing walked out of the yard, he ran into the Second Madam.
The second wife looked at her daughter with a scrutinizing expression, appearing quite shrewd.
Bai Shuqing felt guilty.
"Mom, I, I want to go out and buy some cakes from Xiangsu Pavilion..." Bai Shuqing said with some stammering.
The second wife curled her lips, grabbed her daughter's arm, and walked into the yard.
"Don't lie to me, mother! Do you think I don't know what you're going to do?" The Second Madam lowered her voice and said, "Don't get involved in this matter. If your grandmother finds out, I don't know how she'll punish you!"
"Mom, I don't know what you are talking about." Bai Shuqing was exposed by her mother and tried hard to pretend to be innocent and confused.
The second wife glared at her daughter and pulled her into the house.
Then, he tapped his daughter's forehead hard.
"You're my child! How could you possibly have hidden your thoughts from me?" The Second Madam said angrily, "Are you stupid? If you leave now, the Xia family will find out and come to make trouble. If it wasn't you who leaked the news, who else could it be?"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
There seemed to be something wrong with her mother's tone.
"Mom, what do you mean..." Bai Shuqing asked tentatively.
"Tomorrow is Prince Ning's wife's birthday. The Xia family's daughter is waiting to be married at home and won't be going to celebrate. But the little girl from the Su family will definitely go," the Second Madam said with a hint of meaning. "The Su family is currently flourishing, and Prince Ning has always been highly regarded by the Emperor. When he holds this banquet, he will definitely send an invitation to the Su family..."
Bai Shuqing suddenly understood.
How could she have forgotten about this?
She just needs to find an opportunity tomorrow to secretly talk to Su Tang about this matter, and her mission will be completed.
There is no need to worry about it anymore.
"Mom, if something goes wrong with Third Brother's marriage, it will definitely not be good for the Bai family. Why are you..." Bai Shuqing was a little puzzled.
Although her mother disliked her aunt, she still agreed with her aunt on major issues concerning the interests of the Bai family.
The Second Madam snorted and said, "I just can't stand your eldest aunt's pretentious attitude. Her own son has done such a thing, and she's trying to hide it. I'm going to expose it to the world and make her ashamed to face others."
The Second Madam said this with a determined look on her face, and continued, "When the time comes, let's see if she still has the nerve to take charge of the Bai family's finances!"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
It turned out that her mother was doing this for the household expenses of the mansion.
After the Second Madam finished speaking, she sighed and continued, "The Xia family is also unlucky. Even if they knew about this matter, in the end, they could only put forward more conditions and then marry their daughter in."
Bai Shuqing looked at the Second Madam, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Mom, what if the Xia family...breaks off the engagement?"
The Second Madam glanced at her daughter's innocent expression and said, "What's the point of cancelling the engagement? Your second sister didn't cancel the engagement back then, and she married into the Yongning Marquis's mansion with a pinched nose. How could the Xia family cancel the engagement?"
"In this kind of situation, the woman can only accept her fate. If she breaks off the engagement, her daughter will definitely not be able to get married. She will spend her whole life in seclusion. Who would be willing to let her go? In the end, they will have to marry their daughter off anyway."
Bai Shuqing: “…”
She felt that her mother was right, she thought so too.
However, when I thought about Tang Bao and Xia Siya's temper, I felt a little uncertain.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
Anyway, I will tell Su Tang about this tomorrow and let Su Tang worry about it!
With the Second Madam's permission, Bai Shuqing felt much less pressured.
