When Zhu heard what her daughter said, although it was indeed very satisfying to marry Su Huan, a bitch, to a disabled and useless prince, the emperor had granted the marriage, and in order to ensure a smooth marriage, she could not try to kill Su Huan. This...

Su Xuan looked at her mother's expression and immediately guessed what her mother was thinking. Just now, she went back to the mansion to look for her mother. When she came, she had already learned what had happened here. It was really unexpected that Su Xuan, the bitch, not only recovered from her breath, but was also alive and well. She was really lucky.

After a brief pause, Su Xuan, who had mastered the temperament of a lady from a noble family, spoke softly, "Don't worry, big sister. Prince Ning will never cancel the engagement this time. Prince Jing also reported to the emperor about big sister's drowning. Prince Jing said that the emperor meant that even if big sister died, her tablet could be placed in Prince Ning's mansion."

Su Huan understood what she heard. It seemed that the emperor agreed not only because he indulged his younger brother Prince Jing, but more because he disliked Prince Ning. It was obvious that there were many royal secrets involved.

Zhu glanced at Su Huan from the side. In this way, she could have tried to kill Su Huan without any scruples. At this moment, she did not forget to use this opportunity to mock Su Huan, "The emperor is really wise and promised you a good marriage. Otherwise, how could you, a woman whose engagement was broken off, get married?"

Su Huan looked calm, but sneered in her heart, thinking, how could this be considered a good marriage?

However, she didn't mind. She didn't have to rely on men to live anyway. She could take this opportunity to get rid of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a natural way. It would be more convenient for her to settle the feud between the original owner and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But when she looked at Su Bingyan, she saw a thoughtful look on his face. As the prime minister of the dynasty, the head of all officials, and the emperor's favorite, Su Bingyan obviously knew the reason behind this arranged marriage.

Su Bingyan glanced at Zhu. After all, she was a woman in the backyard, and her horizons were limited to that small piece of land in the backyard.

Prince Ning was born to the late emperor's favorite concubine. He was gifted, talented in both civil and military affairs, a killer on the battlefield, and the only prince to be crowned king for his military achievements.

If he had not been seriously injured in the battle that year and had a disabled leg, which made him weak and confined to a wheelchair all day, Prince Ning would have been the most powerful figure in the fight for the throne.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he dealt with the previous emperor's sons. Apart from his younger brother Prince Jing, only Prince Ning was left alive.

That was entirely because Prince Ning had made outstanding military achievements. The emperor spared his life in order to avoid being criticized by the world, and also because Prince Ning was already disabled.

But even so, the grudge in the emperor's heart will always exist as long as Prince Ning is not dead.

This time, he took advantage of Prince Jing and arranged for Su Huan to marry Prince Ning, just to test Prince Ning.

Or perhaps the emperor wanted to revive the Shen family and was using Su Huan to test the Shen family.

A granted marriage kills two birds with one stone.

Zhu and Su Xuan also noticed Su Bingyan's subtle expression, and Zhu immediately gave Su Xuan a look.

Su Xuan called "Father" softly.

Su Bingyan came back to his senses and said to Su Huan in a cold tone, "Prince Jing and your sister have good intentions in finding a new home for you. Prepare for your marriage. Your second sister will also be getting married soon. The palace is busy. Don't make trouble again and bring shame to the Xiangfu."

Su Huan took Su Bingyan's warning seriously. She glanced at Zhu and Su Xuan and said meaningfully, "Then father, you must control the people around you and tell them not to be so shameless!"

Zhu's face looked unsightly, and Su Xuan's face also darkened when she heard it.

Su Bingyan said nothing more and left.

Seeing this, Su Xuan acted as if to instruct Su Huan and said, "Big sister, father is always very busy and it's rare for him to rest at home today. As a daughter, this is not the attitude that big sister should have when talking to father."

Su Huan took a step closer to Su Xuan and said in a cold voice, "What? How dare you lecture me? Father is gone, what are you still doing here? Get lost."

Su Xuan: "You..."

Zhu: "Xuan'er, don't pay attention to her. She fell into the lotus pond and drowned, but luckily survived. Now she is very arrogant. If she continues like this, she will get into trouble sooner or later, and she won't know how she died. Xuan'er, let's go."

However, just as Zhu was about to pull Su Xuan away, a hand grabbed her neck.

Su Hua stared at Zhu with her ghostly eyes, and said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

Zhu's whole body trembled, as if she fell into an icy abyss, and her breathing gradually became difficult. How dare Su Huan, this bitch, lay her hands on her.

Seeing that Su Huan had actually grabbed her mother's neck, Su Xuan shouted angrily, "Su Huan, how dare you! Let mother go."

Su Huan ignored Su Xuan and used some clever force to push Su Xuan away. If it weren't for the maids next to her who supported Su Xuan, she would have fallen to the ground.

Su Xuan didn't care about herself at all. She immediately ordered the maids, "Are you all blind? Capture Su Huan for me."

Zhu uttered in a timid voice, "Don't... move." Then she said to Su Huan, "If you dare to touch me, the Prime Minister will never let you off easily."

Su Huan knew that killing Zhu now would cause a lot of trouble, so she certainly wouldn't be so impulsive. She gave Zhu a wicked smile and patted her face. "You're right, so the best way is that no one will know how you died."

"..." Fear surged in Zhu's heart, especially when she met Su Huan's eyes. At this moment, she was really scared, but she made a more determined decision in her heart that Su Huan must die before she could be truly at ease.

At this time, Su Huan let go of Zhu, who couldn't stop coughing violently. Seeing that Su Xuan was about to move, she stopped her and pulled Su Xuan away.

A group of maids and servants followed Zhu and Su Xuan away, and the courtyard became quiet. Suddenly, only Su Huan, Nanny Xia, and Yun Shuang, the master and servant, were left.

When Nanny Xia and Yunshuang saw those people leave, they stood up and walked closer to their young lady, asking with concern, "Young lady, are you okay?"

Su Huan: "It's okay."

"How could they do this? They actually want you, young lady, to marry Prince Ning." Nanny Xia followed suit and said worriedly.

Yun Shuang was also full of worry. "That's right. The Second Miss and the others are still talking so high-soundingly. It's obvious that it was the Second Miss who instigated Prince Jing and made trouble behind the scenes."

Su Huan: "Okay, no need to worry about it."

Nanny Xia and Yunshuang looked at each other. They saw that their young lady looked very confident, as if she had made all the plans. Now they said nothing more.

……

Prince Ning’s Mansion, in the study.

The early summer sun refracted in through the window, casting a shadow and falling on the man in moon-white clothes who was sitting at the desk by the window.

He had an extremely handsome face, with facial features that seemed to be carefully carved by a magician, with distinct edges, contours and lines, and his eyes were as deep and sharp as an eagle's.

However, such a handsome face showed some weakness, and the wheelchair he sat in told the world all the time that his legs were disabled.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, causing the green bamboos outside the window to rustle.

Liu Xing walked in from outside, bowed, and reported: "Your Highness, the news from the palace is that the Emperor has granted you and the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion a marriage, and the imperial decree will be issued tomorrow."

"Your Highness, the one who is famous and the most famous in the capital is the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Everyone in the capital says that the eldest daughter has no talent, no beauty, and no virtue, which is why Prince Jing broke off the engagement. As soon as Prince Jing broke off the engagement, the Emperor gave her to Your Highness. This is too much."

A hint of coldness flashed across Mo Qianhan's eagle eyes, and he spoke in a cold tone, "This is nothing more than a means for my brother to test me. He wants to see if I am willing to accept his arrangements and make sure that I am always under his control."

Liu Xing thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, then, I will take advantage of this period to investigate Miss Su carefully."

"No need." Mo Qianhan said coldly, blocking Liu Xing's plan, "In the eyes of the world, I am also a disabled and weak person. If you really count, I am a good match for her."

"But, Your Majesty, you don't..." When Liuxing saw the look in the prince's eyes, the words on his lips stopped abruptly, and he finally responded with a "yes" in obedience.
