Shen Yu persisted, declaring that he would marry no one but Su Muyao. He knelt for two hours. Lady Anguo felt sorry for her son and hurriedly went to discuss the matter with the Marquis of Anguo.
Marquis Anguo, however, saw further than his wife. On the surface, Su Muyao's incident had damaged her reputation, but looking at it from a broader perspective, this girl had done it to save the Su family, making her a person of great righteousness.
Just for what Su Muyao did, the Su family and the Regent's Palace would think more highly of her and protect her for life.
He agreed that marrying her would only be a greater benefit to his son.
Since the Marquis of Anguo had agreed, his wife couldn't say anything more.
Marquis Anguo warned his wife that since she had agreed to the marriage, she should not act superior on the surface, but should treat Su Muyao well and choose an auspicious day to propose marriage at the Su residence.
Although Lady Anguo verbally agreed, she was still somewhat unwilling and thought that after Su Muyao entered the manor, she would arrange for her son to take in several concubines.
Didn't the Su family say that Su family daughters would not marry into families that took concubines?
She just wants to take a few concubines for her son, so what can the Su family do about it?
A girl whose reputation has been tarnished is already blessed to marry her son as his legal wife; how could she care whether her son takes concubines or not?
However, Lady Anguo was not stupid. She took the Marquis Anguo's warning to heart, but she would not show it before marrying him into the family.
So, five days after Madam Su agreed to let Su Muyao learn shipbuilding, when the Marquis of Anguo personally came to propose marriage to her son with a matchmaker, she was very kind and amiable, showing that she valued the matter.
Madam Su had already inquired about Su Muyao's intentions. After confirming her daughter's feelings, she had a smooth conversation with the Lady of Anguo Marquis. In the end, they exchanged birth charts and chose an auspicious day to formally propose marriage.
These past few days, Su Muyao has been going to learn shipbuilding. Every day, Shen Yu comes to the Su residence to pick her up and then sends her back.
Once at the construction site, Su Muyao absorbed all the knowledge like a sponge, carrying a notebook and pen in her hand. She would ask the shipbuilders questions whenever she had any, carefully writing them down and pondering them.
At first, everyone was wary of her being the second young lady of the Su family, and with the protection of the young master Shen, although they looked down on women learning shipbuilding, they didn't dare to show it on their faces.
It was just some of the older women who were cooking who were whispering among themselves.
As Su Muyao learned more and more, some of the questions she asked were even beyond the ability of the experienced master to answer.
Later on, she was even able to point out some errors in the process and have people correct them.
At first, no one believed her, thinking that she was just a little girl and didn't know anything.
However, after the experienced craftsmen verified the facts, they found that what the second young lady of the Su family said was correct.
Gradually, no one dared to underestimate the second young lady of the Su family anymore.
Shen Yu watched Su Muyao from the side, feeling as if she were radiating light.
He used to envy Xiao Yanchu for finding a princess like Su Ruojin, but now he no longer does.
Mu Yao is no less than anyone else; in his heart, she is the best woman in the world.
Later, a warehouse suddenly caught fire. Regardless of her identity, Su Muyao rushed in with everyone to rescue people and put out the fire.
After the fire was extinguished, her face and clothes were covered with soot, but she didn't care at all.
Su Muyao was relieved to learn that there were no casualties.
At this moment, everyone on the construction site began to truly believe in this second young lady of the Su family, and their address to her changed from Miss Su to Master Su.
For an artist like Su Muyao, this title carries far more weight than "Miss Su," and it is an acknowledgment of Su Muyao's abilities.
That day, Su Muyao was about to leave as usual when Madam Su stopped her, saying, "You are not allowed to go anywhere today!"
Su Muyao was taken aback. "Mother, why?"
