Chapter 1420: Siwa, are you willing for me to adopt you as my adopted son?
Although the Su family also sent invitations to the Zheng family for their wedding, Mrs. Zheng knew that it was only for the sake of her master and son.
Old Mrs. Su still treated him politely and distantly, no longer as affectionate as before.
Mrs. Zheng sighed in her heart, feeling that the past was too painful to recall.
It's fine for me, but my son's thoughts...
Mrs. Zheng felt very disappointed.
My son had no hope to begin with, and now because of me, I'm afraid there's not even a shred of hope left.
After hearing what everyone said, Old Lady Su couldn't help laughing and said to Madam Xia, "Please ask my sister-in-law to go over and keep an eye on him. Don't let Old Lady Wu make a fool of herself."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. How can this be considered a joke?" Madam Xia said with a smile, "A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. It will surely be a wonderful story!"
"Exactly, exactly..."
Many ladies spoke one after another and stood up and walked out.
Originally, they were not such nosy people, but the wedding dress on Princess Huaning almost blinded their eyes.
Even if it were for nothing else, it would be a great blessing to go over and see how beautiful the princess looks in such a wedding dress!
It was so beautiful that they were lost.
As the mother-in-law, Mrs. Su did not go with them.
After all, there are Princess Ning, Concubine Liu and others here who need her to entertain.
Old Lady Su greeted Princess Ning and others and went to the flower hall where the female guests were entertained to talk.
Mrs. Su Dasao and Mrs. Su Sansao were busy making preparations for the banquet that would be served later.
When King Xiaoyao came over, the bride and groom had already gone to the bridal chamber. Tang Bao was also pulled by Princess Linghua and Xia Siya and ran to the bridal chamber. Only Old Man Su and some male guests were left in the wedding hall.
"Uncle Su, this is King Xiaoyao." Xuanyuan Jin introduced him to old man Su.
Old Man Su was startled and saluted quickly.
"Meet the prince."
But he was thinking in his heart that it seemed that he had not sent an invitation to King Xiaoyao.
"Please don't be polite, Marquis Zhongyi. I have come here uninvited. Please don't blame me, Marquis Zhongyi." King Xiaoyao said with a kind smile.
As for the fact that he came uninvited but brought no gifts, he did not mention a word.
He didn't know that after he followed Xuanyuan Jin into the Marquis' Mansion, the steward Zhang An instructed the accountant who was registering the gift list at the door not to make any mistakes in King Xiaoyao's gift list.
The accountant said: "...Manager Zhang, this prince did not bring any gifts."
Steward Zhang: "...Oh, maybe the gift this prince brought was valuable, so he brought it in himself."
Everyone who witnessed the entire process of King Xiaoyao selling a painting from Xuanyuan Jin remained silent.
Manager Zhang: “…”
He himself didn't believe what he just said.
After hearing what King Xiaoyao said, Old Man Su regained his smug look with a rosy face.
"Hahaha... What are you talking about, Your Highness? It is my honor to have Your Highness visit me and attend my son's wedding banquet..."
As a result, he instinctively clasped his fists in a show of pride.
"Hahahaha...congratulations to you all..."
King Xiaoyao: “…”
Are you dissatisfied with me for not congratulating you?
Everyone: “…”
The Marquis of Zhongyi seemed so happy that he didn't know what to do.
“Hahaha…congratulations…” said King Xiaoyao.
Old Man Su: "...Hahahaha...congratulations..."
It seems like I said it too early just now.
King Xiaoyao: “…”
This Lord Su seems a bit silly...
King Xiaoyao thought of Tangbao.
The daughter she gave birth to was quite clever.
It seems that he has inherited the shrewdness of the late British Duke.
As for the Su family, a century-old family, they are all fools in the eyes of King Xiaoyao.
Otherwise, why would the direct branch be driven out?
Prince Cheng'en strode over, patted Old Man Su on the shoulder in a familiar manner, and said with a big laugh, "Brother Su, you probably don't know that this Prince Xiaoyao is very stingy. He came to congratulate you today, but I'm afraid he came here to drink the wedding wine for free."
King Cheng'en raised his eyebrows and glanced at King Xiaoyao, then chuckled, "Why don't you ask if he brought any gifts?"
King Xiaoyao: “…”
My hands are itching to punch someone.
Old Man Su naturally didn't ask, and said in a bright voice: "The fact that the prince can come is a great honor for my Su family. How can I ask the prince to spend money?"
Prince Ning also came over with a smile and said leisurely, "Marquis Su's words are truly a relief to Prince Xiaoyao."
King Xiaoyao: “…”
My teeth are itching and I want to bite someone.
Siwa was halfway with Wu Yunshuang's journey when Wu Yunshuang sent him back.
The Su family had just arrived in the capital, and they would inevitably have to deal with the powerful people in the capital.
Today's opportunity is for these descendants of the Su family to show up in front of the powerful people in the capital.
Wu Yunshuang naturally didn't want to delay the fourth child.
As a result, when Siwa came in, he happened to hear what King Cheng'en and others said.
Unable to contain himself any longer, he said, "My mother once said that the border is bitterly cold, and that often a general's success comes at the cost of thousands of lives. That's one thing, the dead are dead, but the orphans, widows, and injured soldiers left behind have the hardest time."
Si Wa said this, looked at King Xiaoyao, and said, "Your Highness was once the commander-in-chief of the border, and he had made great military achievements. He is also a respected prince, but now the clothes he wears are made of ordinary materials, and he has no accessories around his waist."
Siwa's expression took on a hint of seriousness as he continued, "I think the prince must have given his money to the orphans of the soldiers or generals, or to the injured soldiers and generals, which is why he is so short of money."
If you are not short of money, why would you buy a painting as a jade pendant?
Moreover, he asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for money to redeem the jade pendant.
The fourth child was not stupid, so he could naturally see that when they were at the door just now, King Xiaoyao was suspected of taking advantage of Xuanyuan Jin.
A prince actually did this. Siwa couldn't think of any other reason except the one he just mentioned.
As soon as Siwa finished speaking, Old Man Su quickly scolded him, "Siwa, step back! You little brat, don't talk nonsense here!"
After saying this, he turned to look at King Xiaoyao. Fearing that King Xiaoyao would be embarrassed, he said, "Your Highness, my grandson has never been a simple-minded person. He takes after his father, a fool. Don't take his nonsense to heart."
King Xiaoyao sniffed, his eyes reddened, and he said, "I took it to heart!
Old Man Su: “…”
What does this mean?
The prince was made to cry by the fourth child?
It’s over, it’s over… The fourth child has gotten into big trouble…
Old Man Su's expression changed.
Su Lao San and Su Lao Si, who were standing by, looked at each other with doubtful expressions.
"Boy, kneel down!" King Xiaoyao looked at Siwa and ordered.
Siwa: “…”
With a plop, he knelt down.
Old man Su bent his knees and knelt down.
When Su Lao San and Su Lao Si saw their father kneeling down, how could they dare to stand?
The two brothers were about to kneel down when they heard King Xiaoyao say to Siwa, "Boy, I will adopt you as my adopted son today. Are you happy about that?"
Siwa: “…”
Xuanyuan Jin, who knew the truth: "..."
