"What nonsense are you talking about? Heyue is a junior you dote on. You will find her a satisfactory husband in the future. What does it have to do with the Crown Prince? You can't say things like that again." Suo'etu interrupted her, his eyes fixed on her.
Then Ma Qi lowered her head and dared not say anything. Although she was getting old and had been a tyrant in the mansion for many years, she still dared not defy Suo'etu.
After being looked at by him, the initial excitement she felt vanished instantly.
What happens in the backyard is entirely up to her, but when it comes to outside affairs, especially matters of officialdom, she has no say in them.
Although she was still somewhat unwilling, after all, she had raised her granddaughter for so many years, and she didn't want her to benefit someone else or be betrothed to another family. Besides, wouldn't it be very beneficial for their family if Heyue married the Crown Prince?
No matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire deal. It's a pity the Crown Prince had already made his choice, with such a young girl...
She had heard of Jingrou before, but she had never seen her much. In fact, she was her sister-in-law's granddaughter!
She felt both closeness and a touch of jealousy towards Hesheli. After all, they were the same age and sisters-in-law, and their relationship had been harmonious in the past. However, some awkwardness was inevitable, as Hesheli had married well and lived a comfortable life, which made her feel uneasy and create comparisons. On the surface, however, everything remained perfectly peaceful…
If the Crown Prince had a very close relationship with their family and obeyed his every command, then Suo'etu would certainly think that was a good thing, since it would strengthen the ties between the two families. But now the Crown Prince has his own ideas and will not listen to them!
The Crown Prince had harbored resentment towards him for many things in the past, but things had gradually improved in recent years. If he were to try anything now regarding the marriage that the Crown Prince was so insistent on, then he could forget about ever getting married!
"Heyue is of marriageable age, so don't be lazy. Hurry up and arrange her marriage. Do what you should do. After all, she has been raised in the manor for so many years, and we have feelings for her. I will arrange for her to receive an extra dowry."
Soetu is very busy, and he rarely shows any affection even to his own granddaughter, let alone this granddaughter. However, she has been by his wife's side for so many years, so there is still some affection between them.
Since this matter has been brought up, he was also worried that things might get complicated if he delayed. He decided to marry her off as soon as possible. If he could give her a dowry in the name of the Hesheli family, it would certainly be more prestigious and would also be able to arrange a better marriage for her!
"Yes, sir." Madam Ma nodded, then quickly left, supported by the hand of the maid beside her. This time, she couldn't persuade him; instead, she was met with a cold shoulder, which made her a little angry!
Let's just say that my granddaughter didn't have the good fortune. Who told her to make her move earlier? Empress Hesheli was really cunning. She sent her granddaughter into the palace early on to cultivate a relationship. Now, isn't it just a matter of course?
They have such a long-standing emotional foundation, which my poor Heyue can't compare to.
