Situ Heng was scolded and driven out of the study by Prince Zhong. He walked towards his yard dejectedly. As soon as he walked out of the study, he met Situ Yao.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Were you scolded by father again?"
Situ Heng thought about what he had done today and what his father had just said. Seeing that Situ Yao felt quite guilty, he smiled awkwardly.
"Hehe, little sister, big brother is fine. Are you going to see father about something?"
Situ Yao blushed when she heard this, but still nodded generously.
"Well, my mother just told me that my father wants to arrange a marriage between me and the prince of Duke Dingguo's mansion. I came to ask him something."
Seeing his little sister's expression, Situ Heng was confused. He suddenly felt that he had done something really bad today and didn't know how to describe himself. He stopped talking to his little sister and hurried towards his yard.
Situ Yao looked at her elder brother in confusion, unable to understand what was wrong with him. However, she did not think much about it and went straight into Prince Zhong's study.
Prince Zhong was sulking alone. When he heard the door open, he thought it was his stupid son coming and said unhappily.
"What are you doing here? Do you want to piss me off to death?"
Situ Yao blinked, wondering how her elder brother had offended his father, but she still asked,
"Father, what's wrong? Did my elder brother allow you to be angry?"
When Prince Zhong heard the voice of his beloved daughter, he immediately turned around and walked over with a smile on his face.
"Oh, it's my daughter. You didn't say a word when I told you. I thought it was your eldest brother's stupid boy."
Situ Yao smiled and took Prince Zhong's hand and sat on the chair next to the desk.
"Father, what did my elder brother do wrong to make you so angry? Can you tell me?"
Speaking of this Prince Zhong, he sighed helplessly.
"Big brother...! That's it. Isn't it infuriating? Is this how it's done? I don't know why I gave birth to such an idiot."
Situ Yao was speechless after hearing about her elder brother's story. "Father, you should have shown my elder brother all the duties and responsibilities of a Zongren Mansion Zongzheng. Especially this matter, you also need to let him know that even if it was really done by Prince Lu, we need to turn a blind eye. Apart from anything else, the emperor's uncle's opinion is the most important."
Prince Zhong looked at Situ Yao with satisfaction and sighed.
"Alas, if your brother had your brains, I could breathe a sigh of relief. How could he not see such a simple and clear thing? When he was little, he looked quite steady and had a cold face. I used to think my son was a good person, but now he has been proven wrong."
Situ Yao looked at the dejection on her father's face and consoled him.
"Father, don't force anything. Big brother is just like that, so we should be more tolerant. Also, if Big brother doesn't meddle in other people's affairs, he still has great potential in managing the clan affairs office, but this requires more guidance from father."
How could Prince Zhong not know that his son's temperament was actually very suitable for managing the Ministry of Clan Affairs, which was also the emperor's favorite position, so he could only sigh.
"I see. I'll teach him more in the future. Oh, by the way, what are you doing here?"
When Situ Yao heard her father ask this, she looked at Prince Zhong with some trepidation.
"Father, my mother just told me that you have taken a fancy to the prince of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and want to take him as your son-in-law?"
After Situ Yao said this, her face turned red. She lowered her head and looked at her toes, not daring to look up at Prince Zhong.
Prince Zhong looked at his daughter's shy look and laughed. He wanted to laugh at his daughter's joke, but then he thought better of it and said this.
"Well, it was said some time ago. The boy was not in the capital at that time. His father said that he would wait until he came back and ask him before telling him."
Upon hearing this, Situ Yao no longer cared about being shy and looked at Prince Zhong in surprise.
"Father, isn't the Lu family's marriage arranged by the parents? Isn't it the matchmaker's words? Does he need his consent?"
Prince Zhong curled his lips and snorted coldly.
"Humph, that's what I said at the time, but Marquis Cheng'en said that Lu Zifeng was also lost when he was young, and it took a lot of effort to find him back. I really couldn't bear to go against his wishes."
It was the first time that Situ Yao heard that Lu Zifeng had been lost. After thinking about it, she could understand the thoughts of Marquis Cheng'en and his wife, and said with a smile.
"Father, these things are human nature. After all, they haven't been together for long, so they can't be beaten or scolded as easily as children who have grown up together."
Prince Zhong was a little surprised when he saw your daughter's nonchalant look.
"My daughter, tell me what you think of that brat. Do you want to marry him or not?"
When Situ Yao heard her father ask this, her face turned red again. She glanced at Prince Zhong and said softly.
"Everything is up to my father and mother. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, he turned around and ran out of the study without waiting for Prince Zhong to speak.
This action made Prince Zhong stunned. It took him a long time to figure out what his daughter meant, and he burst into laughter.
After laughing, I felt very sad.
"Alas, the daughter I raised with so much effort is about to get married. Girls are really outgoing. As an old father, my heart aches."
As he said this, he patted his chest as if he was applying makeup mask. However, his performance was in vain because there was no audience at all!
While he was thinking about something, he heard the servant report that Duke Dingguo had arrived. Prince Zhong immediately realized that it was probably about a marriage between the two families.
"Please go to the front hall, Duke Dingguo. I will be there soon."
