“Mother, I don’t care. My eldest sister said that as long as a person acts uprightly and sits straight, they don’t need to be afraid of gossip.”
"If we spend our whole lives living in the eyes of others, are we living for ourselves or for others?" Su Muyao said emphatically.
Madam Su was taken aback for a moment, then raised her hand and lightly slapped Su Ruojin, "Look, your sister has been completely corrupted by you."
Given Su Muyao's previous personality, she would never have said such a thing; she was clearly influenced by Xiao Jin.
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Mother, isn't Mu Yao good like this? Why should we, the daughters of the Su family, care about other people's opinions? As long as we have a clear conscience and a clear conscience, and do not do anything immoral, why can't we do what we like?"
For a moment, Madam Su couldn't find a way to refute Xiao Jin. Su Ruojin put her arm around her shoulder and said, "Mother, let Mu Yao go. In this life, being able to do what you like is a kind of happiness. Just because Mu Yao is the second young lady of the Su family, who would dare to bully her?"
Madam Su sighed, "Fine, I can't argue with you. Mu Yao, get up. Take care of yourself. If you're too tired, you don't need to go."
"Yes, Mother!" Hearing her mother's agreement, Su Muyao smiled happily.
Afterwards, Madam Su kept Su Ruojin behind.
"What's going on between Mu Yao and Prince Shen?" Madam Su asked, not forgetting the look Xiao Jin had given her earlier.
Su Ruojin briefly explained the situation between Mu Yao and Shen Yu to Madam Su, and also clarified the feelings of Mu Yao and Shen Yu.
Mrs. Su felt that she had been frightened a lot today, and her mind was not quite clear.
From Mu Yao's decision to build a ship, to the fact that her quiet second daughter has found someone she loves.
No wonder when she went to the banquet of the Marquis of Jing'an, the Lady of the Marquis of Anguo came to chat with her, and in her words she was trying to find out Mu Yao's intentions.
At the time, Madam Su was quite puzzled. There were many ladies from prominent families attending the banquet that day, and many of them knew each other well. It was normal for them to chat about their own children.
However, because of Mu Yao's previous reputation, no noble ladies came to talk to her about their eldest sons.
Some of them were just illegitimate sons or second sons of the legitimate wife, or wives from families far less prestigious than the Su family.
The only exception was Lady Anguo, and Madam Su even suspected that Lady Anguo might not know about the Su family's past.
Now that Xiaojin has said this, there's nothing she doesn't understand.
So, was Lady Anguo testing my intentions because of Prince Shen's request?
"Xiao Jin, does Prince Shen really not mind what happened to Mu Yao before?"
How could Madam Su not be moved by Mu Yao's contributions to the Su family? Even if these ladies from prominent families were too proud to look down on Mu Yao because of her previous reputation, she was determined to find Mu Yao a good marriage.
In Madam Su's eyes, Mu Yao was an innocent and virtuous young woman, worthy of everyone.
As long as Mu Yao likes him and he has good character, even if he comes from a lower social class now, the Su family can still help him rise in rank.
But she never expected that the one who would be interested in Mu Yao would be the heir of the Marquis of Anguo.
“Mother, don’t forget, Prince Shen knows more about Mu Yao’s trip to the Deng residence than we do.”
Madam Su nodded in agreement. "Yes, back then, Mother even begged him to save Mu Yao. I didn't expect that Young Master Shen is such a person who can distinguish right from wrong, and his household is so clean. It seems that this marriage is not bad."
When the Lady of Anguo came to chat with him, there was no sense of superiority in her tone; she was just like any other lady from a noble family inquiring about her child.
It seems that the Crown Prince has already explained the details to the Lady of Anguo, and the Anguo Marquis's family should also approve of this marriage.
"Yes, if the Lady of Anguo Marquis comes to inquire again, Mother will be at ease."
Hearing Su Ruojin say this, Madam Su felt even more at ease about Su Muyao going to learn shipbuilding.
Xiao Jin said that Prince Shen was also there, so with him looking after things, there should be no problem.
What Madam Su and Su Ruojin didn't know was that the Lady of Anguo Marquis knew about Su Muyao's entry into the Deng family and initially did not agree to the marriage.
