A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Chengxun always respected Hai's opinions. After hearing what she said, he asked, "What do you think, Madam? There are no outsiders here today, so it's a good opportunity for us to discuss it."

Hai didn't avoid her daughter on purpose and said, "I was thinking that Madam Song is from the Wang family after all, and Wang Jinyao is her niece."

"Today's incident has become like this. Even if the Wang family apologizes in the end, can there be no rift between the Wang family and Madam Song?"

"I don't expect my daughter to marry into a wealthy family, I just hope she can be treated well by her husband's family and live a happy life together."

She didn't want her daughter to endure the suffering and hardships she had experienced in her husband's family.

The Song family is of high status, but she is also afraid that the Song family is too high status and she cannot protect her daughter.

Now that the Wang family had become involved in this marriage, Hai began to back out.

Su Chengxun hesitated for a moment and said nothing. In fact, what he was most satisfied with about this marriage was not the status of the Song family, but Song Hongshen himself. Not only was he brave and resourceful, but he also knew when to speak and act. If he canceled this marriage, it would be difficult to find such a son-in-law again.

But what the lady said made sense. She was afraid that Mrs. Song would really hold a grudge against her daughter. He couldn't afford to gamble, and he didn't dare to gamble.

Hai suddenly said, "When the Song family came to propose marriage, they probably just didn't want to marry into the royal family, so they mentioned Zhilan temporarily."

"Why not take this opportunity to call off the marriage in a dignified manner? Zhilan is still young anyway, so we can slowly see each other through."

The sudden proposal of marriage by the Song family had always been a thorn in Hai's heart. She was always afraid that the Song family was using her daughter as a shield and was not actually sincere in seeking marriage.

Coupled with what happened today, Hai became more determined in his thoughts.

Su Chengxun did not express his opinion, but looked at Su Yuanzhou, "What do you think, nephew?"

Su Yuanzhou has always had a close relationship with Song Hongshen and is quite familiar with the Song family.

After thinking for a while, he said, "The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty doesn't seem like a petty person. Marriage is a big deal and we shouldn't take it lightly. It's better to see the attitude of the Song family before making a decision."

Su Qingyu also advised Hai, "Don't be anxious, it's easy to make mistakes when you're anxious. You still have to be cautious about the important matter of your fifth sister's life."

In her heart, she understood Hai's thoughts. Just as she had told Song Hongshen, if that person was someone else, it would be easy to deal with, but he happened to be a close relative of the Song family.

After the fifth sister married into the family, could she still not associate with the Wang family? Could the Wang family really have no grudges against her?

The women in the inner house of the aristocratic families have many thoughts and methods. The fifth sister has made enemies before she even married in. Who knows what will happen in the future?

And as Third Aunt said, what if Madam Song is also dissatisfied with Fifth Sister? With the burden of filial piety on her head, there is nothing she can do about many things.

Su Zhilan leaned against Hai, lowered her head and said nothing. She was still recalling her interactions with Song Hongshen during this period, and only felt relieved after confirming that she had said nothing wrong.

She had no objection to breaking off the engagement, and had even started thinking about going out to sea with Su Shunci after the breakup.

Su Chengxun and his companions were still discussing, but before they could come to a conclusion, the housekeeper came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Justice, the Marquis of Loyalty, the King of Loyalty and Bravery, and Miss Wang are here."

Su Yuanzhou stood up and said, "Please come in."

He stood up and went out to greet him.

Su Qingyu knew that these people must have come to apologize.

A moment later, Su Yuanzhou led a few people in.

Song Hongshen followed the two elders and his eyes fell on Su Zhilan when he came in. Naturally, he did not miss her red and swollen eyes.

Is she crying? Did her family scold her?

He felt a strong sense of self-blame in his heart. In the final analysis, he was also wrong. Su Zhilan was still young and didn't understand many rules. He was not considerate enough.

Su Chengxun had the lowest official rank among the group. He stood up and wanted to greet Shangshu Wang and Marquis Zhongyi.

He was immediately stopped by the two men, and Song Zan, the Marquis of Loyalty, said, "Brother Su, today we are only talking about brotherhood, not official positions."

Minister Wang followed suit, "Brother-in-law is right. We are all close relatives. We don't need to discuss the court affairs at home."

After saying that, he turned around and scolded Wang Jinyao coldly, "Why don't you apologize to the fifth lady of the Su family? You said you would kneel down and kowtow to apologize, but that doesn't count?"

Su Qingyu glanced at Wang Jinyao, her eyes falling on her drooping hands. Obvious scars could be seen on her red and swollen palms.

She immediately asked, "Is Minister Wang punishing Miss Wang? Why is Miss Wang's hand still injured?"

Wang Jian said coldly: "She committed such a serious mistake, and using family law is a light punishment. If she hadn't been brought here to apologize, the punishment would have been much heavier."

Su Qingyu sighed inwardly and winked at Hai and Su Chengxun.

The Wang family has expressed their attitude, so the Su family can't be relentless. Uncle San and Shangshu Wang are officials in the same dynasty, and they should always leave room for others when doing things unless it is absolutely necessary.

Hai understood what he meant, and when Wang Jinyao was about to kneel down, she supported him.

Then he said to Wang Jian, "It's good that the matter has been clarified. Since Shangshu Wang has already punished him, I think this kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

Wang Jian knew that the Su family did not let Wang Jinyao kneel down to save face for the Wang family.

But it was wrong, and he couldn't understand how his daughter, who had always been well-educated and well-mannered, could do such a thing. The Su family stopped pursuing the matter, but he couldn't let it go.

He said sternly: "Apologize to the Fifth Miss of the Su Family. You didn't take to heart what your father taught you."

The Wang family has always been praised for its upright family tradition and strict family education. The head of this generation, Wang Jian, is the Minister of Justice and is even stricter in disciplining his children.

Wang Jinyao lowered her head since she entered the room. A complex emotion appeared in her eyes, mostly jealousy and unwillingness.

What Minister Wang didn't know was that his years of teaching were no match for his daughter's obsession with Song Hongshen.

In the end, Wang Jinyao solemnly apologized to Su Zhilan. As to whether it was sincere or false, only she knew.

Minister Wang felt embarrassed to stay in Prince Ning's mansion for any longer, so he apologized, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then left.

Wang Jinyao turned around and left, but couldn't help but glance at Su Zhilan. She thought she was disguising herself well, but Hai still caught the sinister hatred in her eyes.

Hai immediately made up her mind to cancel the engagement. She would never let her daughter marry into the Song family and become a relative of someone like Wang Jinyao.

Before leaving, Song Hongshen specially bowed to Su Chengxun and Hai. He explained sincerely, "I met the fifth lady privately a few times before, but I didn't greet my uncle and aunt. I was inconsiderate."

"Please don't blame her too much, uncle and aunt. The fault is all mine."

He was very humble and you could tell he was apologizing sincerely.

Su Zhilan was a little surprised. She didn't expect Song Hongshen to apologize in public. Is this what the eldest sister said, the attitude of the Song family?

Seeing that Song Hongshen took all the blame on himself, Su Chengxun felt much better. However, Hai Shi was not moved at all and remained firm in her previous thoughts.

So before Su Chengxun could speak, Hai said, "Your Highness is too polite. It is our fault for not disciplining our daughter well. The Song family is of high status, so it is our daughter's attempt to marry someone of high status."

Hai was usually cautious and prudent in his words and deeds, and rarely was he as blunt and uncompromising as he was today.

Song Hongshen was a sensitive person, so how could he not understand the meaning behind Hai's words?

But now was not the time to talk about this, so he didn't say much.

But when he walked out, he deliberately walked with Su Yuanzhou.

"The Su family wants to cancel the engagement?" He asked Su Yuanzhou in a low voice without any expression.
