The Su family members became active in their thinking. Did they please Su Mo? Was there any chance that Su Mo would take a fancy to them?
Who wants the position of Duke of Zhenguo?
The eyes of the head of the Su family flashed. Because this branch of the clan and the Zhenguo Mansion were five generations apart, and because the ancestor stood idly by during the Five Kings Rebellion and offended Princess Enyi, the Zhenguo Mansion and the Su family clan became more and more distant.
Now he originally wanted to take advantage of Su Mo's wedding to come here to build relationships, but now it seems that there will definitely be unexpected surprises.
The head of the Su family was thinking about the future of his two grandsons. Since Su Ding was rejected, could his grandsons think about the title of Duke of Zhenguo?
So, subconsciously, the head of the Su family and Su Dingdu moved away from each other.
When Su Qianqian saw that the old housekeeper didn't give her "master" any face, she immediately frowned and said, "My father is the future Duke of Zhenguo. How dare you talk to me like that? Be careful or I'll have someone kick you out of the Duke's Mansion."
"Shut up." Su Dingfei scolded his eldest daughter harshly. It was too early for the child to say this. He knew that if he wanted to inherit the position of Duke of Zhenguo, he would need the help of this old housekeeper.
This old butler Su Ming was a retainer under the old Duke Zhenguo. Apart from Su Mo, he was the top official in the Duke's Mansion.
His family had lived in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for seven years, but had not gained any benefit from this old man.
Thinking of this, he glared at his eldest daughter again. This kid offended people as soon as she came up.
He bowed to the old housekeeper and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Ming, this child has been spoiled by her mother. I will definitely scold her severely later. Uncle Ming, you are a man of great character, don't pay attention to the child's nonsense. This Zhenguo Mansion is your home at all times."
"Hmph! Second Master, you should go back. Even if there is no young master in charge of the Zhenguo Mansion, there is still a little master. I'll trouble the second lady to worry about whether this old servant stays or goes."
What? What does the old butler mean by this? Little master? He said that his little master would be the crown prince in the future. Even if the empress had a few more children, would they be princes?
He gave up his good position as a prince and lowered his status to become a duke? Is this possible?
The head of the Su family couldn't help asking, "What does the old general mean by this? Could it be that the Crown Princess agreed to adopt a child to become the Duke of the country?"
There are spies from various mansions around the Zhenguogong Mansion.
The old butler looked around at the eyes that were probing him, either openly or secretly, and their ears that were pricked up. His eyes flickered, and then he said slowly, "Who dares to guess what Your Highness is thinking? But our Duke is young and strong, is he afraid that he won't have a son?"
The old butler Su Ming led the members of the Su family to the villa.
However, his words caused a huge uproar in the capital, and there were many different opinions.
"Hey, what does the old steward of the Zhenguo Mansion mean? Putting aside the fact that Your Highness mentioned the Zhenguo Duke's offspring, does he want the Zhenguo Duke to shoulder the responsibility of two houses?"
"Don't talk nonsense. This is just something the old housekeeper said casually. It's the Duke of Zhenguo's intention. Besides, His Highness is a vegetarian."
After a moment of silence, someone lowered his voice and said, "Without the consent of the Duke of Zhenguo, how dare an old butler like him speak nonsense?"
Someone explained: "It is said that the Zhenguogong Mansion has been a single-line inheritance for several generations, so it can always make them extinct, right? It makes sense for the Zhenguogong to shoulder the responsibility of two houses."
"Who is the Crown Princess? Our future Empress, can you tolerate the Crown Princess' husband having other women?"
"What's the matter? Your Highness is just a child of the Duke of Zhenguo's bloodline, and it means that Your Highness is ready to take a concubine..."
"Shh, shut up."
Think about the last time the capital city was in turmoil. His Highness was decisive in killing people. His long spear was like the wrath of a god, and wherever it went, rivers of blood flowed.
This is the reason why no one dared to say anything when a princess from another family became the crown prince. Didn't you see that all the royal family members bowed their heads and admitted defeat? Do you dare to gossip about His Highness?
The Ministry of Rites,
The wife of the Minister of Rites was advising her sister-in-law, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Your husband is a fifth-rank official. How can you not have concubines at home? This woman has a reputation for being jealous. It will be difficult for the girls in your family to find a husband in the future."
As she spoke, she sighed and said, "Hey! Not to mention you, even if it's Her Royal Highness, would you allow the Duke of Zhenguo to take charge of two houses?"
The sister-in-law was angry that her husband had taken a concubine, but when she heard what her sister-in-law said, she suddenly perked up.
"Sister-in-law said that the Duke of Zhenguo is responsible for two wives? Then our Jingyao can do it?"
This was marrying into the Zhenguogong Mansion. Although she could live with her husband forever in the future, as long as she had a child, the entire Zhenguogong Mansion would be hers.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, that must be a first-rank lady with an imperial title, right?
The sister-in-law suddenly grabbed her sister-in-law's hand and said, "Oh my God, sister-in-law, can you find someone to mediate? I'm counting on you."
The wife of the Minister of Rites blinked. Is this about reconciliation? She has a daughter of marriageable age. How can it be your turn?
Su Mo and Song Jinxiu came back from boating on the lake, and he personally sent her to the princess's mansion. The Princess' Guard immediately guarded the Princess's Mansion, and the guards of the Princess's Mansion stepped up their patrols.
The thirty-six guards left the space and provided personal protection for Song Jinxiu in all directions without blind spots.
When Tian Xinghua heard that her daughter had returned home, she hurried over from next door, and Zhang Zihan followed closely behind with the twins in a stroller.
When Tian Xinghua stepped into the hall, she was stunned when she saw her daughter wearing a dragon robe.
This is your daughter, right? Is this my own daughter who I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy? Is this person really wearing a dragon robe? Will you be the empress in the future?
Zhang Zihan took two quick steps forward and knelt down, "I greet Your Highness the Princess."
When Tian Xinghua saw her husband kneeling, her legs went limp and she knelt down too, but Song Jinxiu held her up.
"Mom, are you torturing me?"
Tian Xinghua stammered: "It's you who's wearing the dragon robe!"
Wearing a dragon robe, can she kneel?
"I am wearing a dragon robe, but I am your daughter." Song Jinxiu said with a smile, "Just think of it as my promotion to a higher position."
Tian Xinghua felt unhappy as she looked at her daughter who was smiling like a flower. This promotion is a bit scary!
To be honest, she was happy that her daughter had achieved such success, but she knew that in the future, her daughter would belong to the royal family.
I haven't helped her in any way, I can only do my best to cause trouble for her.
But this child is getting married so early, what does Your Majesty want to do?
Song Jinxiu looked at her red eyes and asked, "Did you stay up late? Are you obedient?"
The second baby was babbling and blinking his slender eyes at himself.
Tian Xinghua suddenly grabbed her hand and asked with a worried look on her face: "You haven't even gotten married yet? Why are you in such a hurry to get married? Can you wait another two years? One year is okay?"
Song Jinxiu shook her head and said, "The wedding date has been set and cannot be changed."
Tian Xinghua looked anxious. She grabbed Song Jinxiu's hand and squeezed it hard. She looked around carefully and secretly slipped a piece of paper to her when no one was paying attention. Then she secretly scanned the guards at the door with a guilty conscience.
