Chapter 1271: Who is the Fool?
Xuanyuan Min knew that Prince Xiao wanted to use her.
However, she doesn't mind being used as long as it achieves her goals.
When Prince Xiao heard Xuanyuan Min's words, a dark light flashed quickly in his eyes.
Then, he said calmly, "The second girl slipped and accidentally knocked Princess Ford into the water. I, the prince, acted as a hero and saved her. This way, I can marry Princess Ford as a matter of course."
Prince Xiao naturally knew that women in Dayan valued their reputation the most.
In broad daylight, he, a man, carried Princess Ford out of the water. Their wet skin touched each other. Princess Ford wanted to preserve her reputation, so she had no choice but to marry him!
Xuanyuan Min sneered and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? You got what you wanted, but I became the culprit. Wouldn't the Su family and the Third Prince hate me to death?"
After Xuanyuan Min finished speaking, he couldn't help but think of Xuanyuan Hui's words again.
I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
She had just asked her maid to do this, but was severely ridiculed by her sister.
Although Xuanyuan Min didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that her sister was right.
Prince Xiao is completely treating me like a fool and using me!
How dare you let me crash into it myself!
Could it be that I am so stupid in the eyes of others?
Xuanyuan Min looked at Prince Xiao with eyes full of anger.
"Second Miss, you are wrong." Prince Xiao said with a confident look, "Second Miss fell into the water while trying to save Princess Fude. How can the Su family blame you?"
Xuanyuan Min: "..."
Startled.
Then, he became furious.
"What do you mean by that?" Xuanyuan Min demanded, "Do you want to drown me? Or do you want to take advantage of me?"
Xuanyuan Min's voice became sharper.
After saying this, he looked at Prince Xiao suspiciously, as if he was about to lose his temper.
Humph! A barbarian of such age still dares to dream of her, the legitimate daughter of the royal palace. He is simply dreaming! Shameless!
Xuanyuan Min was filled with contempt when he thought of this.
Unexpectedly, a hint of contempt flashed in Prince Xiao's eyes.
There was even a hint of disgust.
However, he soon straightened his expression, bowed, and said, "The second young lady is extremely intelligent, has a keen eye for talent, and has already made plans. How dare I treat the second young lady as a fool? If the second young lady falls into the water, someone will naturally rescue her and find her a suitable husband."
Prince Xiao paused at this point and continued, "As for me, I am a rough man by nature. I am absolutely not worthy of a beautiful and intelligent woman like the Second Miss."
Xuanyuan Min felt better when Prince Xiao praised her, but she was also confused.
"Hmph! You're smart!" Xuanyuan Min raised his chin and restored his arrogant expression.
The big man next to Prince Xiao, Suha, couldn't help but get angry when he saw this.
A silly little girl actually dared to say such things about her own prince. She is simply courting death!
Someone like her is not even worthy of a hair of her own prince!
Prince Xiao was not annoyed at all, and even had a smile on his face.
"Although I am not talented, I do have some self-awareness." King Xiao said meaningfully.
After hearing what Prince Xiao said, Xuanyuan Min felt something was wrong.
However, I can't tell what's wrong.
Moreover, she would naturally not admit that she had no intention of succeeding.
So, he raised his chin and said almsgivingly: "Okay, tell me about your plan, and I'll see if there are any omissions."
The contempt in Prince Xiao's eyes grew even stronger.
"The second young lady is shy and embarrassed to speak out, so I will speak out on her behalf." Prince Xiao said, "The fifth son of the Su family is handsome and talented. Even the princess of the royal family is interested in him and is willing to marry him."
Prince Xiao paused here, and a half-smile appeared on his face.
Then, he continued, "If he rescued the second girl from the water, considering her family background, would he dare not take responsibility for her?"
Xuanyuan Min: "..."
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At first, she thought that he was not Su Laowu, but just a poor scholar from the countryside with no background.
Even if you become the top scorer in the imperial examination, you may still have an air of poverty about you.
What's more, the Su family has no roots in the capital and cannot be compared with the well-established aristocratic families.
How could she, a legitimate daughter of a royal family, marry into such a family and suffer?
Don't be laughed at!
She never imagined that the Su family would rise to prominence and become a marquisate in such a short period of time.
Moreover, when I met Su Laowu today, I found that Su Laowu was much better than those legitimate sons of aristocratic families in the capital, both in appearance and temperament.
She had to admit that her grandmother had good vision.
If she had known this, she should have followed her grandmother's wishes.
She already regretted it in her heart, but she just didn't want to admit it.
Now, when Prince Xiao mentioned it like this, I couldn't help but feel moved.
"The emperor has already issued an edict to grant the marriage. Even if he saved me, he wouldn't dare to marry me. Do I have to be his concubine? What a joke! I am the legitimate daughter of Prince Rong's Mansion. How could I be so lowly? Don't let me lose my reputation in vain!" Xuanyuan Min said unwillingly.
Prince Xiao showed an expression of disapproval.
"The Emperor only granted the marriage by decree. The fifth son of the Su family and the princess haven't gotten married yet, so the engagement can naturally be cancelled. Besides, how could the princess's consort marry a concubine? Regardless of whether the princess agrees, the royal family's reputation wouldn't allow it. In this case, the princess should just choose another consort."
Prince Xiao finished speaking, with a hint of temptation in his tone.
He added, "The second young lady is naturally beautiful. How can she be any less beautiful than a royal princess? It's just that the princess relies on her noble status, and even if she's only 80% pretty, people will praise her as 100%."
"If the Second Miss can snatch this marriage from the Royal Princess, who in the capital will dare to laugh at the Second Miss behind her back? Everyone will envy the Second Miss for her ability."
Prince Xiao said this while observing Xuanyuan Min's expression.
Xuanyuan Min's heart began to beat wildly as Prince Xiao spoke.
Although she tried her best to hold back and not reveal anything, her fingers subconsciously twisted the handkerchief, her eyes lit up, and her face showed eagerness.
It has to be said that Prince Xiao's words touched her heart.
She wanted to, she wanted to very much!
She wanted to make those who gossiped about her behind her back and avoided her like the plague envy her wholeheartedly!
Xuanyuan Min became more and more excited the more he thought about it.
In the eyes of Prince Xiao, her scheming was not worth mentioning at all.
Prince Xiao easily figured out his thoughts.
So, Prince Xiao looked down on you in his heart, but continued, "Besides, Second Miss, don't worry that Princess Fude will resent you. Once you become the daughter-in-law of the Su family, she will be your sister-in-law. Whenever she sees you, she will call you Fifth Sister-in-law..."
