Chapter 65: Deception (Part 1)
Seeing this, Shen Manxin asked softly, "What's the matter, you look sullen?"
Su Jinling expressed her concerns to her: "Mother, you have said how good the second prince is, a person with a noble status like him, don't say that he is holy, I am afraid that Concubine Ru has already planned for his family affairs, and my daughter's heart is afraid that it will never be spoken."
Speaking of this, Su Jinling was suddenly inexplicably afraid, if this was the case, her hope would be hopeless.
Shen Manxin didn't think so, shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, everything is possible, you don't need to be discouraged so quickly, as long as you seize the opportunity and act properly, I'm afraid that the second prince won't understand your mind."
Su Jinling listened to it in her ears, didn't make a sound, and glanced at Xia Fu. The clever Xia Fu understood and whispered, "What if the first lady casually pointed out the family affairs for the second lady?"
After saying that, Su Jinling immediately echoed: "Mother, you see that even a maid like Xia Fu thinks so, it's hard to guarantee that the Fu family won't do it, she is the head mother of the Su family, and her father has always respected her decision, if that's the case, the second prince, it's useless for me to think about it."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Manxin's face became not very good-looking for a while, and what Xia Fu said was not only what Su Jinling was worried about, but also what she didn't want to see. Although her carefully cultivated daughter is not as outstanding as Su Jinzhao's appearance, she is by no means inferior to her in other aspects, even if you look at the whole of Kyoto, it is rare. Whatever is good, let Su Jinzhao take the lead, and her daughter has to pick the rest.
Forget about being a concubine herself, in this life, her daughter must not be left behind, at least not lose to Su Jinzhao.
Shen Manxin raised his eyebrows, and said in a tough tone: "You are my daughter, your family affairs are not her turn to have the final say, since you are in love with the second prince, you can't give up easily, until the end, who loses and who wins."
In fact, Shen Manxin has other plans, over the years, she has suffered a lot of Fu's face, if her daughter can really catch up with the second prince, then she has a light on her face, not to mention, it is also beneficial for her in the Su family. Fu Shi was dissatisfied with her in his heart, thinking of his daughter's identity as the princess, and he didn't dare to do anything to her.
Thinking of this, Shen Manxin hopes that his daughter can marry into the heavenly family as she wishes.
"Your uncle is the judge of the Tai Hospital, and I will ask him to inquire about the preferences of the second prince later, so that it will also help you get close to the second prince."
If you want to get close to a person, you have to understand this person clearly, and it was thanks to Fu's blessing that she was able to catch up with the general. will make the general feel that he is in touch with him.
Su Jinling suddenly rejoiced in her heart: "So, very good, Jinling is waiting for her mother's good news."
Su Jinling secretly thought to herself, it stands to reason that her father is a dignified general who protects the country, and his popularity is also very good, so it is naturally not difficult to ask him to inquire. It's just that with his father's temperament, I'm afraid that he will not only refuse back, but also count her down. Uncle is different, he is on an errand in the palace, it is much more convenient to inquire about things, and he is his own family, not to mention that his mother came forward in person, this matter is a sure thing, with the help of his uncle, it is indeed a big help for her to approach the second prince in the future.
Sure enough, discussing this matter with my mother is undoubtedly a great help.
On weekdays, I look at my mother who doesn't say much in front of people, but I didn't expect that there are a lot of ideas, no wonder my father married my mother despite Fu's pregnancy, so it seems that she will have to come here to disturb her in the future.
Su Jinling looked at the sky, got up and said, "It's not too early, my mother will write a letter to my uncle later, and my daughter won't stay here, and I'll talk to my mother when I go back, and I'll go back."
Shen Manxin nodded slightly: "You go."
After the people left the house, Shen Manxin instructed the maid Yunxiang to prepare pen and ink.
Yun Xiang was the maid she married back then, and she was only ten years old when she came to the Su family, and now she is an old girl in the house.
Yun Xiang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Miss, you ...... Do you really want to write this letter to the eldest young master? ”
Shen Manxin sighed: "For Jinling, I have to write whatever this letter says, I just hope that my brother can read it for the sake of brother and sister and help Jinling this time."
Seeing that Shen Man's mind had made up his mind, Yun Xiang didn't say anything anymore, and turned around to prepare pen and ink.
……
Su Jinzhao would go to Yinghua Pavilion to ask his mother for peace every day, Fu Shi was overworked due to housework, and he had a headache, so Jin Zhao would stay in Yinghua Pavilion for a while and help his mother massage for a while to relieve the headache. The filial piety that was not fulfilled in the previous life can finally be fulfilled now.
Between the mother and daughter chatting, Fu casually asked about the night of the Lantern Festival.
Su Jinzhao told Fu Shi about the lively scene of the Lantern Festival that night, but did not mention anything about her meeting Yu Wenyu.
It's not that she wants to hide it from her mother deliberately, she just thinks that since she doesn't want to be involved with her in this life, why mention this person will only add to her troubles.
And Yu Wenyu was injured for her that night, and when Yu Wenyu was mentioned, it was inevitable that Zhang Dali would be mentioned, and if she told her mother about it, it would make her worried.
In this life, she just wants to see her mother do everything smoothly and live happily, and as for the so-called troubles, she will leave them to her daughter to solve.
Probably because what she said had no flaws at all, Fu Shi did not doubt it, and believed it as a matter of course.
It's just that Fu Shi changed his words and remembered another thing, so he asked, "Who else did you see during the Lantern Festival that night?"
Su Jinzhao's heart moved, and he didn't answer, but asked tentatively, "Why did my mother ask like this?"
Fu Shi looked at it and didn't have anything unusual, and said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that last night the next person accidentally bumped into the second prince to send Su Jinling back to his house, I thought you met the Lantern Festival."
In her previous life, as the head of the harem, she had already learned to hide her joys, sorrows, and sorrows from others, and she did the same in front of her mother.
It's just that...... What did my mother do when she suddenly mentioned this?
She didn't think her mother would ask this for no reason, and she had the impression that her mother was not a curious person. Otherwise, Shen Manxin would not have noticed the seduction of his father in the first place, but if he was more vigilant about the people around him, Shen Manxin would not have a chance to take advantage of it.
Su Jinzhao replied without changing his face: "Back to my mother, I patronized the liveliness of the Lantern Festival that night, and I didn't pay attention to anything else, if I met, I would naturally come forward to say hello, but unfortunately I didn't meet the second prince and my sister."
Qiaoci on the side looked at her master very puzzled, obviously she saw it, why did the eldest lady say this, isn't it...... Lady of Liar?
Qiao Ci thought so in her heart, but she didn't say it, she felt that the eldest lady must have her reason for doing this.
She is a slave, even if she saw the picture of the two together that night, it is not easy to put her beak at will.
Qiao Ci was thinking about it, but she didn't notice that Su Jinzhao's gaze swept over her, and then gently retracted it and continued to talk to Fu.
