Chapter 4: Substitute Marriage

"Ah Yun, go and check, why did King Rui break off the marriage contract with the Late Moon County Lord, who had a marriage contract with him before?"

"Be cautious, don't let people find out."

Sun Jiayao returned to the courtyard, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong with this matter, and hurriedly ordered the personal maid next to her to go out to investigate.

Half a month ago, King Rui still had a marriage contract with the Lord of the Late Moon County, why did he give this marriage contract to her in a few days?

And that night, the appearance and life experience of the county lord of the moon were all first-class, and she didn't know how much better than her.

Odd.

Sun Jiayao suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. This premonition was like a devil's claw pulling her heart tightly, making her a little breathless.

Sun Jiayao had been wandering in the courtyard until her personal maid came back, she hurriedly took her hand and asked in a hurried tone, "Ah Yun, how is the investigation?" ”

The green-clothed girl named Ah Yun pursed her lips and told the truth about what she had inquired about.

"Second Miss, something happened to King Rui."

Sun Jiayao felt a pimple in her heart, and the secret path was exactly as she expected.

"The slave maid spent a little money to learn about this from the mouth of the guard of the king of Narui, who was plotted by a traitor ten days ago, and was seriously injured, and now he is lying in the house with uncertainty about his life and death, and I am afraid that his life will not be long in coming."

Sun Jiayao's face was stunned, and she took a few steps back in disbelief, covered her chest and said, "That's why he broke off the marriage contract with the Late Moon County Lord, Your Majesty... Is this for me to marry a dead man to rush to joy? ”

"Miss, this..." Ah Yun glanced at Sun Jiayao worriedly and said no more.

Sun Jiayao gritted her teeth, secretly saying that she couldn't give in like this, so she lifted her skirt and hurried to Sun Dewu's yard.

She is a young girl, how can she marry a dead man? She was still so young that she didn't want to die like this for the rest of her life.

At this time, the genius was bright, Sun Dewu put on his court clothes and was about to go to the court, but he saw Sun Jiayao running over in a hurry, with an anxious face.

He has always been partial to this well-behaved and sensible second daughter, and seeing her expression, he hurriedly asked intimately, "What happened?" Why do you look like this? ”

At this moment, Su Shi, who was carrying lotus seeds and millet porridge to Sun Dewu, also came over.

"Dad, I don't want to marry a dead man!"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Dewu and Su Shi's faces changed.

"What do you say? What can't die? ”

Signaling her to shut up, Su Shi hurriedly pulled Sun Jiayao to the inner hall.

"What the hell happened to my daughter? Who are the dead people? Su put down the lotus seed soup in his hand.

The two sat down and looked at Sun Jiayao anxiously.

Seeing this, Sun Jiayao hurriedly told the second elder everything she had inquired about.

"King Rui has been unconscious for more than ten days! Your Majesty gave me a marriage just to give him joy! ”

"What?! There is such a thing?! Sun Dewu slapped the table, his face full of anger, "Is this true?" ”

Su Shi also took Sun Jiayao's hand and emphasized repeatedly, "Daughter, can you inquire clearly?" You can't talk nonsense. ”

Sun Jiayao nodded vigorously, and her voice was crying, "Dad, mother, help my daughter!" ”

Sun Dewu pondered for a moment, restrained his expression, and looked at Sun Jiayao hesitantly, "Then what should I do now?" Your Majesty has already handed down the holy decree, and you have no jokes, this..."

"Dad, I don't care, I don't want to marry that dead man." Sun Jiayaodai's eyebrows were high, her eyes were slightly red, and her tears suddenly flowed down uncontrollably, she cried so much that Sun Dewu felt heartache.

"Good daughter. Don't cry, Daddy will find a way for you. Sun Jiayao is Sun Dewu's heart, so naturally he can't see her grievances, but the emperor can't help but listen to his words, he was in a dilemma for a while, and his brows were furrowed as if he could kill a fly.

Su Shi, who had a solemn expression on the side, rolled his eyes at this moment, and said softly: "Master, I have a way." ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them turned their heads to look at her.

"Mother, what can you do?" Sun Jiayao pulled Su Shi's sleeve and asked hurriedly.

"Doesn't Qingqing also like King Rui? In that case, why don't you let her marry King Narui for you? Anyway, they are all young ladies from our national mansion, but they don't seem to be polite, and they cover their heads. Who knows whom? Su Shi was full of words, and felt more and more that his method worked.

Sun Dewu hesitated.

"Dad, I also think this method is okay, doesn't my sister like King Rui? Isn't marrying King Rui just as her meaning? So let's do it. Sun Jiayao shrugged her nose and shook Sun Dewu's arm excitedly.

"But..."Sun Dewu pondered slightly, still feeling a little risky.

This is the crime of deceit, but it will be killed.

"There's nothing to do, just promise your daughter, promise to help your daughter." Sun Jiayao pulled Sun Dewu's sleeve and coquettishly, her big eyes were full of mist. "Can a father bear to watch his daughter marry a dead man?"

Sun Dewu thought for a moment, after all, he felt sorry for Sun Jiayao, and nodded, "Since this is the case, let your mother discuss it with Qingqing." ”

Sun Qingqing was walking in the courtyard, and Ah Ling at the door shouted softly to her, "Miss, someone is coming." ”

Hearing the voice, Sun Qingqing immediately stood up.

This picture of the weakness of the body was simply beyond her expectations, and the top priority was to improve her physique, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Su Shi and others, she asked Ah Ling to stand at the door to guard for her.

Sun Qingqing put down the ponytail that was tied up, and her eyes changed from bright to dull, as if she was still the stupid and useless straw bale lady in their memory.

"Qingqing, you got up really early today." Su Shi smiled when she came in, she took Sun Qingqing's hand affectionately, and looked at her carefully, like a good mother.

"Why does Su Niang have time to come to my Jingyuan Garden today?" Sun Qingqing quietly withdrew her hand and asked her suspiciously.

"Didn't my mother think that you were injured before, so I'm here to see you." As he spoke, he asked the maid in the back to bring some pastries. "You got up so early, you must not have eaten yet, this is the red bean cake I asked the kitchen to make for you, come and try it."

When the wooden box opened, there were several delicate and small pastries, and Sun Qingqing's eyes flashed from those pastries.

Although this pastry is delicate, it doesn't look very fresh.

Probably leftovers from last night.

"No need, Su Niang, I've already had breakfast, let's eat this pastry."

Su Shi snorted softly, secretly saying that this guy is so ignorant. In the past, not to mention pastries, she never even brought her hot buns. And as soon as she gave it to her, she accepted it like a treasure, and today she dared to refuse.

Su's face suddenly became less pretty.

Remembering the changes he had heard about her before, Su Shi looked at Sun Qingqing carefully, Sun Qingqing noticed her gaze, and replied to her with a simple and silly smile.

Su secretly said that he thought too much, and as long as the fool's poison was not solved, he would still be a fool.

But then as if he thought of something, Su Shi picked up a smile again, "Since you have eaten, then forget it, I have something to talk to you about for my mother today." ”

Here's the point.

Sun Qingqing knew that she must have something to ask for.

"Su Niang has something to say, why be so polite." Sun Qingqing pretended to be kind and said to her.

"Don't hide what Qingqing said, now there is a great good thing in front of Qingqing, I wonder if Qingqing is willing to accept it?" Su Shi looked at Sun Qingqing with a mysterious expression.

"Oh? Su Niang, but it doesn't hurt. ”

After retiring the surrounding maids, Su Shi put it on Sun Qingqing's ear and whispered, "Didn't you like King Rui before?" Helplessly, His Majesty gave marriage to King Rui and Jia Yao. For my mother, I know that you must be unwilling in your heart.

After thinking about it, we also think that you are more worthy of King Rui, and now we want you to marry into King Rui's mansion on behalf of Jiayao. ”

At this time, Sun Qingqing only felt extremely funny, didn't she wish to marry King Rui before? And yesterday I came to her to show off, why did I change my mind today?

Sun Qingqing had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he figured out the clues in less than a moment.

This marriage must be greasy, Sun Jiayao doesn't want to marry now, so she asked her to marry instead.

"No, this is my sister's marriage, how dare I think about it?"

Seeing that Sun Qingqing dared to refuse, Su's face suddenly turned cold.

"If you want to marry, you will marry."

Sun Qingqing shook her head and said in a firm tone: "No, this matter is unfair to my sister." ”

Su Shi saw that she looked stubborn, thinking that this matter really couldn't be forced, and couldn't help but soften her voice again, "You don't have to worry about food and clothing when you get married, what's wrong, and your sister also agreed, as long as you nod your head, this matter will pass." ”

Seeing that Sun Qingqing was still hesitating, she was ruthless, "If you really get married, I will also leave the affairs in this mansion to you, okay?" ”

Sun Qingqing was surprised, and pretended to be innocent and asked, "Really?" ”

Su Shi nodded, "As long as you agree, everything depends on you." ”

"But I'm stupid, what do I want to do with the power of this house? You can't make it unlike. Sun Qingqing still hesitated and said softly.

Su Shi is not such a patient person, he flicked his sleeves and looked slightly cold, "Sun Qingqing, this matter is not harmful to you, what are you hesitating about?" ”

Sun Qingqing lowered her head, as if she was frightened by her tone, and said, "I... I... I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what? You don't have to think about anything, just nod your head and let us do the rest. Su Shi just coaxed Sun Qingqing to promise himself at the moment, and the promise was just casual talk.

"That's... Can Su Niang give me some time to think about it? Sun Qingqing raised her head and said cautiously.

Estimating that there were still some days before Sun Jiayao and King Rui got married, Su Shi nodded, "I won't force you for my mother, I will give you two days, and after two days, can you give your mother an exact answer?" ”

Seeing this, Sun Qingqing nodded slightly, "Let me think about it." ”
