Chapter 243 Lian Family Stepdaughter
After the two met, Wen Haiyue became even more confused when she saw Chen Suyue's completely accepting look.
"Suyue, I thought you would be unhappy."
Wen Haiyue has made a lot of progress compared to before and now pays attention to his wording when speaking.
Chen Suyue knew what she was worried about, so she took her hand and said, "Although I am a concubine now, the eldest prince will definitely inherit the throne in the future. Think about the status of concubines in the palace today. Moreover, the princes they give birth to will also be princes in the future. Compared with me and the young lady from the Mo family, who do you think has a better family background to become the principal wife?"
Wen Haiyue thought about it and realized that it was true.
However, she was still a little surprised by the way Chen Suyue accepted it directly.
Chen Suyue knew she must be confused, and continued, "Besides, the eldest prince is a kind person. Now that he is learning the ways of being a king from Mr. Changbai, he will naturally not be swayed by personal feelings and will only focus more on governing the country. I believe that both I and Miss Mo should have this awareness and help him stabilize the rear and consolidate the court, rather than being jealous. I believe that he will not treat me unfairly in the future. Rather than marrying someone who doesn't like me as his principal wife and suffering every day, I would rather be the eldest prince's concubine and live a worry-free life."
Wen Haiyue's worries dissipated a lot after hearing this. She looked at Chen Suyue with admiration in her eyes. "Suyue, I really admire you for thinking this way. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be as open-minded as you."
Chen Suyue smiled faintly and patted her hand: "Haiyue, in life, eight out of ten things are not as you wish. In some things, within the scope of your own choice, you should naturally follow your own wishes more. However, for those of us who enjoy things that others can't get after half a lifetime of hard work, we should not complain when we encounter helpless things. I believe in the upbringing of the Mo family. Look at Princess Duan. She hasn't really done anything to that Concubine Wen for so many years. With the upbringing of the Mo family, I believe that the young lady of the Mo family will be a more suitable mistress than me, and she will know how to balance the relationship between us."
In fact, Chen Suyue had been mentally prepared for this. After all, the Chen family had a high status. As one of the six ministers, the legitimate daughter would definitely not marry badly. As for the wife of these noble families, or the future wife or concubine of the prince or prince, it was not their own choice.
All the Chen family can do is to avoid mistakes, and all Chen Suyue can do is to be low-key and open-minded.
The two complement each other to ensure the prosperity of the family.
After hearing Chen Suyue's words, Wen Haiyue felt relieved. She sighed, "Suyue, you really are a sensible person. I was worried that you would be depressed because of this, but now it seems that I was worrying too much."
Chen Suyue looked at Wen Haiyue, who had slowly calmed down, and said, "When Uncle Wen didn't want to take over the position of Minister of War, your marriage might have been one of his many considerations. When he was a Minister, you could have married up, married down, or married into a higher position. But when she became a Minister, she was completely in the Emperor's presence. The marriages of children in our family are always mixed with interests. Marrying the Second Prince is not a bad idea. Although the Second Prince is the Queen's legitimate son, he has never been arrogant. He has relied on his own abilities to guard the border and become the eldest prince's right-hand man. In the future, brothers will naturally work together, and we sisters will be considered sisters-in-law, so we still have to look after each other."
Wen Haiyue then laughed, and it seemed to be true when she said this.
It was three days later that the five sisters got together again.
The imperial decree granting the marriage has been fully implemented and will not be changed.
Among the sisters now, only Gu Ruanci's marriage has not made any progress.
While everyone was congratulating Chen Suyue and Wen Haiyue, they also mentioned the developments in the Lian family.
"The Minister has been to the Prime Minister's Mansion more frequently these days. He's been there twice within three days." Wu Yixuan sighed.
Wen Haiyue was slow to react and didn't expect it, so she asked, "Yuyan has already followed your brother to Meizhou. What does he want to do by visiting at this time?"
Chen Suyue analyzed it and probably guessed it, but just didn't point it out.
Gu Ruanci also smiled faintly and did not respond.
Wu Yixuan said, "Now, apart from the soft words, all of us have found our homes. We don't need to worry about the soft words at all. Whether it's the identity of Little Medical Fairy, Qin Ji, or Mr. Changbai's junior sister, it's enough for her to choose a man at will. But some people don't have this ability and still want to rely on others. For example, the daughter of the Lian family's second wife..."
Wen Haiyue thought about the Lian family's stepdaughter's upward push on the day of the flower viewing banquet, and immediately understood: "But Yuyan is not at home, what is the purpose of this? Are they planning to use their status as in-laws to ask Prime Minister Wu to act as a matchmaker and arrange for his stepdaughter to marry a prince?"
Wu Yixuan nodded: "According to my father, Minister Lian seems to have taken a fancy to the eldest prince..."
Chen Suyue was well-educated, but she almost couldn't control her expression.
Even though she is the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, she can only be the eldest prince's concubine. Now the eldest prince is not yet the crown prince. What does this stepdaughter of the Lian family want to be?
"I suddenly understand why Lord Xiao Wu applied for a transfer from the imperial court and decided not to serve in Dizhou City anymore... On the one hand, it allows him to hone his skills and convince everyone in the future. On the other hand, it allows Yuyan to stay away from these people. It's really annoying..."
"Who on earth did the Lian family learn to be so arrogant? As a stepdaughter of the Lian family, do you feel superior to Su Yue, the daughter of the Shangshu?"
Wen Haiyue kept talking without any hesitation.
Wu Yixuan sighed, "If Master Lian had explained these things to his second wife, he wouldn't have been so harsh towards his first wife's only child over the years, at her instigation."
These words made several people silent.
The children left by the original wife already have a miserable life, and if they are no longer loved by their father, their lives will be even more difficult.
Chen Suyue frowned slightly, feeling even more disgusted with the behavior of the Lian family's stepdaughter.
"I just hope Minister Lian can wake up soon and stop being blinded by his second wife." Chen Suyue said softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
Wen Haiyue snorted, "Wake up? She must not wake up. If Yuyan still has to be filial to him then, then all the suffering she's endured over the years will be her bad luck."
These words were a bit harsh, but everyone knew in their hearts that Wen Haiyue was not being unreasonable, but was speaking the truth.
Wu Yixuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Come to think of it, Yuyan is in Meizhou now, and I don't know how she's doing."
When Lian Yuyan was mentioned, everyone's expressions softened a bit.
"I think it must be very good. She is so smart and patient, and Lord Xiao Wu treats her sincerely. The two of them will definitely live a better life away from the hustle and bustle and calculations of Dizhou City." Chen Suyue said with a smile.
Wen Haiyue also nodded: "Yes, Yuyan is not the kind of person who will be defeated easily, let's wait for her triumphant return!"
