Chapter 787: Each one relies on his own means
It has to be said that the second lady's words hit the nail on the head for the old lady's hidden worries.
The Empress Dowager has devoted herself to worshipping Buddha over the years and has not cared about the secular world, which has already had an impact on the Bai family.
If the Empress Dowager were no longer around...
The old lady looked at Bai Shuqing.
"The Third Prince has been living in the Bai Mansion these days. As the mistress, you should take good care of his daily life." The old lady said earnestly, "Although girls should be reserved, the Third Prince suffered a tragic accident in his childhood and left the palace early. He is naturally sensitive and longs for care..."
After the old lady finished speaking, she almost told Bai Shuqing to seduce Xuanyuan Jin.
If Bai Shuqing had heard these words yesterday, he would have been full of confidence and enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, I was so shocked at the Zhang family today that I became a little scared.
After all, Zhang Hanlin was almost charged with seeking fame and deceiving the emperor because his granddaughter said something wrong.
In the end, he almost hit the pillar and blood splattered on the spot.
Bai Shuqing was a little scared of Xuanyuan Jin like this.
"Grandmother, do you think the Third Prince has other thoughts about that little girl from the Su family?" Bai Shuqing asked hesitantly.
Whenever she thought of the scene of Xuanyuan Jin holding Tang Bao's hand, she had an indescribable feeling.
The old lady was startled, as if she had never thought of this possibility.
Then, he shook his head and said, "Whether he has other thoughts or not, it is doomed to be impossible."
"Why?" Bai Shuqing asked in confusion.
The old lady glanced at Bai Shuqing and began to teach her granddaughter.
"The Su family's parents love their daughter, but they are also very proud. They will definitely not let their daughter become someone else's mistress." A shrewd glint flashed in the old lady's eyes. She said, "Even if she were to be the prince's concubine, they would definitely not agree. But considering the Su family's status, there is no way their daughter could become the prince's principal wife!"
"But what if the Empress Dowager supports her?" Bai Shuqing said, "After all, the Empress Dowager wants to adopt that girl as her granddaughter."
"That's why it's even more impossible for that girl to marry the Third Prince!" The old lady said with certainty, "As long as they are siblings, if they get married, it would be against human ethics and will be impeached by the censors!"
The old lady paused at this point, then added meaningfully, "Neither the Emperor nor the Empress Dowager would allow such a thing to happen! The Empress Dowager's move might be intended to dissuade the Su family from their plans..."
Bai Shuqing thought about it and showed a look of sudden realization.
"Grandma is really insightful!" Bai Shuqing said admiringly.
The old lady smiled and looked at Bai Shuqing with kindness.
"You're still young, so it's okay if you can't see through all this. But in the future, when you encounter something, you should carefully weigh the pros and cons. As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, even if you have to endure it temporarily, it's worth it."
After hearing what the old lady said, Bai Shuqing showed a thoughtful expression.
Then, she knelt down and bowed to the old lady, saying, "Grandmother, you are right. I have learned my lesson."
"Yeah." The old lady nodded with satisfaction.
The old lady did not say this behind the eldest lady's back or anyone else's back.
The eldest lady naturally guessed the old lady's intention and felt even more uncomfortable.
My mother-in-law values this niece so much that she must be determined to make this marriage happen.
After the eldest lady returned to her own courtyard, she looked at the concubine Bai Shuyu who was serving her, and her thoughts couldn't help but move.
Although this girl was not born from my belly, she is also knowledgeable and interesting.
If I give her some favor, she will definitely repay me in the future.
The eldest lady thought about this and said, "You have heard what your grandmother said. The Third Prince is now living at home. You and Qing'er are both daughters of the Bai family. There is no reason to give the opportunity to only her."
Bai Shuyu's expression changed and he looked at the eldest lady in surprise.
The eldest lady added, "What's more, the practice of sisters marrying together has existed since ancient times."
Bai Shuyu: “…”
His face turned completely pale.
Since the sisters married the same person, it was inevitable that she, as a concubine, would be treated as a concubine.
Bai Shuyu felt very cold in his heart.
She thought that because she had served her stepmother carefully over the years, her stepmother had begun to feel some sympathy for her.
I never expected that my stepmother would have such thoughts.
Bai Shuyu lowered his eyes, his pretty face full of thought.
Her marriage is in the hands of her stepmother.
If her stepmother is unhappy, she will definitely be the one who suffers in the end.
"Mother, Second Aunt and Fifth Sister will definitely not agree." Bai Shuyu said tentatively: "If they knew that their daughter was going to be in front of the Third Prince, they would definitely make a big fuss and disturb Mother..."
The eldest lady frowned, and thinking about the temperament of the second wife's mother and daughter, she felt a little headache.
but--
They have no say in what they do!
"As long as the Third Prince has his eyes on you, their commotion will be useless!" The First Lady said firmly, "When the time comes, I will register you under my name. Since you are also the legitimate daughter of the Bai family, you will simply become his principal wife..."
The more the eldest lady spoke, the better she thought the plan was.
Although it was only a brief contact, the eldest lady also noticed that Xuanyuan Jin was a cold person.
But, it is only good to Tangbao.
The mother and daughter of the second wife offended Tang Bao from the very beginning. As long as Xuanyuan Jin knew about this, he would definitely have a bad impression of the mother and daughter of the second wife.
In this case, I will definitely not agree to this marriage...
The eldest lady immediately made up her mind to quietly find someone to tell Xuanyuan Jin about the fact that the second wife and her daughter had offended Tang Bao.
Little did they know that Xuanyuan Jin had already known about it.
Seeing the eldest lady's determination, Bai Shuyu could only bow and say, "My daughter will obey your mother's arrangements."
The eldest lady was very pleased with the respectful attitude she showed towards her concubine.
"Although you're not my own child, you're no different than my biological daughter. I have to plan for your future." The eldest lady took Bai Shuyu's hand, looking like a loving mother, and said gently, "When the ancestral hall opens in a few days, I'll register you under my name. From now on, you'll be the legitimate daughter of the Bai family."
"Thanks to my mother, my daughter."
There was a glint of sarcasm in Bai Shuyu's eyes, but his face was full of gratitude.
The eldest master came in and said, "What are you and your daughter talking about?"
The eldest lady patted Bai Shuyu's hand and said with a smile, "Master, you've returned just in time. I was just thinking of discussing this with you. Yu'er is also of marriageable age. Why don't you register her under my name so that I can find a good marriage for her?"
The eldest master was stunned. He didn't expect that his wife would take the initiative to suggest this.
He was naturally very happy.
He still values his daughter very much.
"That's great." The eldest master said with a smile, "She has always been close to you. It's worth your love for her for so many years."
After saying this, he looked at his daughter and said, "You must be more filial to your mother in the future and don't let her down."
"My daughter will definitely remember my father's teachings and be filial to my mother." Bai Shuyu said softly.
A tall, handsome figure appeared before my eyes...
(Don't doubt it, this figure is definitely not Xuanyuan Jin! Can you guess who it is?)
