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

Su Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "You figured it out? Third Aunt is also worried that Fifth Sister will be wronged after entering the family. After all, the Marquis's wife is from the Wang family."

In fact, Song Hongshen could guess the reason without Su Yuanzhou saying anything.

To be fair, if it was Wanwan who was humiliated like this, as a brother, he would probably also want to cancel the engagement for his sister.

Seeing Song Hongshen lowering his eyes and saying nothing, Su Yuanzhou continued, "Now that we're talking about this, tell me what you think. If you also want to cancel the engagement, I'll tell Third Uncle..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Hongshen said firmly: "I don't agree to cancel the engagement. Marriage is a serious matter and should not be treated lightly."

As they were about to reach the gate, Song Hongshen said again, "Please keep me here for a while, and then arrange for me to meet Miss Five. I have something to say to her."

Su Yuanzhou rolled his eyes at him, "You want to meet someone in private, and you still want me to keep you?"

Song Hongshen suddenly said in a deep voice: "You may not know what your sister has been researching recently. Based on what she has come up with, do you believe that no one can protect her except me?"

Su Yuanzhou paused. What did he mean? Zhilan was a teenage girl. What else could she be researching? She couldn't be making firearms, could she?

But Song Hongshen spoke with such confidence that Su Yuanzhou could not take it lightly.

So when everyone was about to leave, Su Yuanzhou suddenly said, "Lord Zhongyong, please stay. I have some official business to discuss with you."

Although Song Zan was surprised, he didn't say anything.

In this way, Song Hongshen stayed in Prince Ning's Mansion with full legitimacy.

He was not in a hurry to see Su Zhilan, but met Su Chengxun first.

In Su Yuanzhou's study, Su Chengxun, Song Hongshen and Su Yuanzhou sat down according to their age.

Song Hongshen spoke first, "Uncle Su, I know the Su family wants to cancel the engagement. But the Song family is sincere about the marriage, so please be cautious, Uncle Su."

Su Chengxun didn't expect that Song Hongshen stayed behind to talk about this matter. The Song family's attitude was still unknown, but Song Hongshen's attitude was clear.

"I agree with what my nephew said, but as parents, we are very concerned about our children. Marriage also depends on fate. With Zhilan's personality, I'm afraid she is not suitable to marry into a noble family."

The couple had just reached a consensus to cancel the marriage with the Song family. Su Zhilan looked dignified and steady, but in fact she had her own ideas. It would be better to find a family with a similar family background, so that she could live a more comfortable life.

He did not expect his daughter to get promoted or get rich, he just hoped that she would have a smooth life. Besides, his daughter was still young, if he looked for another two years, he would be able to find a suitable family.

Su Chengxun's meaning is already very clear.

According to Su Chengxun's guess, Song Hongshen should have left after hearing these words. After all, given Song Hongshen's status, he would not be so humble as to ask to marry the daughter of the Su family.

But after waiting for a long time, Song Hongshen did not get up to say goodbye, and was still drinking tea leisurely.

After a while, Song Hongshen finally put down his teacup and said, "Uncle Su, Yuanzhou, we are all family, so I will get straight to the point."

"With Miss Fifth's talent, there aren't many families to choose from in the capital. Marrying into the Song family is probably her best choice."

Su Chengxun raised his head abruptly, "What does your Highness mean by this?"

Su Yuanzhou also looked at Song Hongshen. Song Hongshen had said this before, but he didn't explain it clearly.

Song Hongshen took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Su Chengxun.

"Uncle Su, please look, this was painted by Miss Five."

Su Yuanzhou took a closer look and said casually, "Isn't this a shipbuilding blueprint? Our fourth sister wants to do shipping business, and our fifth sister may have learned it from Uncle Hai. It's not a big deal to just draw two pictures."

Su Chengxun knew more about this than Su Yuanzhou. He stared at the drawings in his hand without saying anything.

Song Hongshen said, "Uncle Su should be able to tell that what she drew is not an ordinary sea freighter. With her talent and understanding of shipboard weapons, she can already make a warship that is more powerful than the existing warships in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Uncle Su, think about it, if this gets out, will it cause a stir in the court?"

Su Yuanzhou's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood what Song Hongshen meant.

Su Chengxun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "She was just drawing for fun, she won't draw again in the future."

Song Hongshen shook his head. "Uncle, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. By then, not to mention the princes, I'm afraid even the emperor will want her to enter the palace."

If Su Zhilan were a man, she would have been able to rise to prominence immediately with such talent. But she was an unmarried girl who didn't even have the ability to protect herself.

Su Chengxun looked at Song Hongshen meaningfully again, "If I marry into the Song family, will I not be afraid of the Song family?"

Song Hongshen smiled and said, "Uncle may not know yet, but the emperor intends to let me take over the navy on the southeast coast. The Japanese pirates have been rampant in recent years. After the governor of Fujian, Cheng Xuewen, was exiled with his entire family, the combat effectiveness of the Fujian navy has been declining."

"The Emperor intends to reorganize the Fujian navy, and I am currently the best candidate in his mind. Uncle, do you think that with my ability and that of the Song family, we can't protect the Fifth Miss?"

Not only can he keep Su Zhilan, but he can also let her do what she likes.

Su Yuanzhou looked at Song Hongshen deeply, and wanted to say something but held it back.

Song Hongshen added, "I know what my uncle and aunt are thinking. I can guarantee that my mother will never vent her anger on Miss Fifth because of the matter of my cousin from the Wang family."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if there is some rift between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, I will not let her suffer any injustice."

"Besides, I have my own palace. I will not live in the Song family's old house after marriage. If I go to Fujian to command the navy, I will naturally take the princess with me."

Su Chengxun pondered over Song Hongshen's words word by word, and his previous decision began to waver.

After thinking for a while, he finally said, "The marriage will remain as usual. I hope my nephew can keep his word."

Afterwards, Song Hongshen proposed to meet Su Zhilan alone. Su Chengxun agreed and asked Su Yuanzhou to accompany him.

Su Zhilan, who was originally talking to her two sisters, heard that her father wanted to see her for something, and immediately followed the maid who led the way.

When she entered a reception hall in the outer courtyard, she found that the people waiting for her inside were Song Hongshen and Su Yuanzhou.

After Su Zhilan came in, Song Hongshen looked at Su Yuanzhou and glanced outside the door.

Su Yuanzhou glared at him unhappily, but still walked out.

Seeing her brother go out, Su Zhilan felt a little nervous.

He bowed and said, "Greetings to His Majesty."

Song Hongshen hummed, "Now you know which prince I am? The Su family wants to cancel the engagement, what do you think?"

His question was so direct that Su Zhilan was stunned.

She said subconsciously: "I...I always listen to my parents."

Song Hongshen snorted.

"Fifth Miss, now that you have used me, you want to kick me out?"
