I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

The princess was forced to use her own dowry to feed the people in her courtyard.

Thinking of this, Sun Mingda couldn't help but sigh.

The Eighth Prince was indeed wronged in this matter. Rong Jiao was originally a concubine given to his brother by the emperor.

But because of such a concubine, his family was ruined.

Now hearing Aunt Wen's question, Sun Mingda couldn't help but sigh.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Ningsi is our daughter, how can I not care about her?"

Aunt Wen felt aggrieved when she heard this.

"If you were worried about Ning Si, why were you so calm when you heard that Ning Si would not marry the Eighth Prince?"

Hearing Aunt Wen's words, Sun Mingda couldn't help but sigh.

"The Eighth Prince may not be as bad as the rumors say."

Aunt Wen was stunned for a moment, then struggled to get up from Sun Mingda's arms.

"What do you mean by this? Is it possible that the Eighth Prince can still be a good person?"

Hearing Aunt Wen's obviously distrustful tone, Sun Mingda couldn't help but sigh.

"You will know about this in the future. Don't worry too much about Ning Si. I will never let my daughter suffer."

Aunt Wen felt much more relieved when she saw Sun Mingda's attitude.

Sun Mingda loved his daughter no less than she did. If the Eighth Prince was really that unbearable, Sun Mingda would not be so calm.

"Master, I am Ningsi's mother. If Ningsi really wants to marry the eighth prince in the future, can I still not understand him?"

"If the master knows something, you might as well tell me so that I can feel more at ease."

Hearing Aunt Wen's words, Sun Mingda also felt that she was right.

If there is anything really wrong, I have to tell Aunt Wen that this is for my mother-in-law.

Sun Mingda was silent for a long time, and then said: "The situation in the court is still unclear, but it is vaguely divided into the princeling party and the eight princes party. As for your majesty, we can't guess what your majesty is thinking now."

"However, His Majesty was indeed supporting the Eighth Prince before, otherwise he would not have allowed the Eighth Prince to come into contact with the civil servants in the court."

"If it were before, even the prince would not be able to compare with the Eighth Prince."

"But now His Majesty... seems to be more interested in generals."

When mentioning this matter, Sun Mingda couldn't help but sigh.

Their civil servants used to have a status that no one could shake in the court, but now because of the war on the border, even those reckless men can compete with them.

When this matter was mentioned, Sun Mingda was obviously dissatisfied.

But he didn't dare to speak out about this matter, and he didn't even dare to show his emotions outside, for fear of being targeted by the emperor.

The emperor didn't have a good look on these people these days. Even after he killed Zhou Yushi and arrested the civil servants in the court that day, the emperor didn't like them.

Sun Mingda also knew this and kept a low profile these days.

But Aunt Wen was shocked when she heard the words of the Minister of War.

After all, she has been with the Minister of War for such a long time, so she knows a little bit about the matters in the court.

"Master, you...are you planning to join a team?"

If this is a team, if you make the wrong choice in the future, it will be a dead end.

This is also the reason why Sun Mingda has been unwilling to join the team for so many years.

I originally thought that Sun Mingda would nod without hesitation, but I didn't expect that Sun Mingda would shake his head in denial.

"You misunderstood, I have no intention of joining the team."

"The situation in the court is not sensitive right now, and I am not ready to join the team yet."

After all, he is not alone. Whatever he does, he must consider his family and daughter.

Just the eldest daughter. After all, that daughter has not been close to him since she was a child.

But not his youngest daughter, who he personally watched grow up.

No matter what, he couldn't let his little daughter fall into this whirlpool at will.

Aunt Wen never expected that so many things were involved.

Aunt Wen couldn't help but become anxious when she thought of what her daughter had said before that she would never marry anyone other than the Eighth Prince in this life.

If the daughter really marries the Eighth Prince, their Sun family will not be able to survive even without a team.

"Master, what should I do about Ningsi? That child seems to have recognized the Eighth Prince now. He also said... He said that he would not marry anyone other than the Eighth Prince in this life..."

Aunt Wen felt sour in her heart as she spoke, and tears fell down uncontrollably.

She never expected that her once well-behaved and sensible daughter would now talk back to her for an outsider.

Besides, that person only met her once...

Thinking of this, Aunt Wen felt even more aggrieved.

The daughter she had cultivated with all her heart was now like this.

Seeing Aunt Wen's face covered with tears, Sun Mingda couldn't help but sigh, raised his hand and took her into his arms.

"Don't worry, I will have a good talk with Ningsi."

"Zuo Ningsi is still young and is not in a hurry to get married. Let's wait and see."

Aunt Wen didn't object after thinking about it. They didn't object to their daughter marrying the Eighth Prince, but it wasn't something that couldn't be eased.

Just when the two of them were about to put this matter aside for the time being, the cook in the back kitchen hurried over.

Seeing this, the boy waiting outside the study quickly stopped him.

"Master and aunt are still in the study, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

The cook looked even more anxious when she saw the boy guarding the door stopping her.

"Oh, Brother Liu, I'm just here to see my aunt. Something happened to the lady."

The boy knew that the young lady the cook was referring to was the second young lady. After all, the eldest young lady was almost a transparent person in the house.

Even if something happens, the cook will not be so anxious.

"If anything happens to you, I'll go in and report it to you."

The cook also insisted that Sun Mingda's study should not be broken into casually, and he could only tell the boy his purpose of coming here.

When the boy heard what the cook said, he was also shocked.

She didn't care about anything else and hurried towards the study.

Because Aunt Wen was still in the study, the servant did not dare to break in rashly, so he could only raise his hand and knock on the door.

After Sun Mingda inside let him in, the boy opened the door and left.

Sun Mingda saw something wrong with the boy's expression, and couldn't help but ask: "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

"Sir, it's bad, something happened. The cook just came here and said that the young lady locked herself in the study and didn't want to eat."

When Aunt Wen heard this, she stood up immediately.

"What's going on? Why don't you want to eat when you're so good?"

When the boy heard Aunt Wen's question, he looked a little embarrassed and didn't know whether he should speak directly.

Sun Mingda couldn't help but frowned when he saw his expression.
