Chapter 239: Marriage of the Li Family
Before dawn the next day, Mr. Yun sent Su Jinxin back to the Su family. Of course, Mr. Yun had been sitting in the carriage and did not show up. Therefore, in the eyes of the Su family, the servant Yun Xi was the only one who sent their second lady back to the house. Moreover, they did not doubt where Miss Su Er was going in the past few days. They only believed that Miss Er stayed in Ziyang Temple to take care of the eldest master, but they did not know that Miss Su Er actually dressed up as a man and went to Lin'an Academy.
"Miss II, you are finally back."
"Miss II, thank you for your hard work."
"Miss II, you have lost weight again."
Qiaolan, Zhilan and Qinglan had already been waiting at the door of the mansion. When they saw Su Jinxin getting off the carriage, they hurriedly surrounded him, asked about his well-being and chatting endlessly.
Su Jinxin stood on the stone steps of the vermilion palace gate. The stone lions on both sides were still majestic. Once upon a time, she just wanted to enter and exit the Su family's gate openly. Once upon a time, she just wanted to wait until she got revenge and she could be free of worries. But now, everything can never go back to the beginning. In just a few days, her mood is no longer the same as Su Jinxin a few days ago.
She couldn't let go of Gu Xiaoliu, and his departure made her feel guilty because she knew that while she revealed Gu Xiaoliu's identity, she also destroyed his male self-esteem; she couldn't let go of Fan Fan, and when Mr. Fan left Lin'an, she handed Fan Fan to her hands, but she left Fan Fan alone in Ziyang Temple; the one she couldn't let go of was Yi'er, who died, but could only bury himself alone in Yunqi Zhuzhu Path, with no one accompanying him...
She even wondered whether the path she chose was right or wrong.
If it were a few months ago, Su Jinxin would not have regretted it, but now, she was confused. She turned around and looked at the carriage again. She knew that he was sitting inside, looking at her with a faint smile, just like a high-ranking banished immortal, everything was in his control, just like her fate, and it was also held in his hands and could not escape.
"Miss Second, please come to the mansion quickly. The master is still waiting to discuss major matters with you." Since taking over the affairs of the Su family, Aunt Mei has become even more elegant and luxurious in her words and deeds. She walked to Su Jinxin, first respectfully blessed her body, and then reported the affairs of the Su family one by one to Su Jinxin in the past two days, including the eldest lady Su Jinyan's marriage to Prince Yun as a concubine, and how Aunt Xie cried to death in front of Master Su, saying that her daughter's life was miserable and could only be a concubine like her.
"Where did my father arrange him?" Su Jinxin said that he was naturally Li Muzhou. Aunt Mei was puzzled. How could the second lady look disgusted with Mr. Li before, and her tone was quite unkind. However, Aunt Mei thought that Su Jinxin would marry Mr. Yun in the future. Now Mr. Li took the token to the Su family, just to break up the second lady and Mr. Yun. How could the second lady not be angry with Mr. Li? Thinking of this, she did not have too much doubt about Su Jinxin's abnormal words and deeds.
"The master said that outsiders should not let our Su family think that our future son-in-law is mean, so he arranged for Mr. Li to live in the courtyard of the eldest son." Su Jinxin stepped into the threshold, and Aunt Mei followed respectfully. "Miss Second Miss, Master, we should delay this marriage. Anyway, you have not yet finished your journey. Everything will be discussed next year. But according to the opinion of the concubine, the second Miss might as well go and see Mr. Li. Some things, in fact, you can make your own plans, and you don't have to listen to the master."
Although Li Muzhou is a little poor, he is a scholarly family. He has a pretty appearance and is also a gentleman with a graceful appearance. With time, when he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, he will not be too bad. Aunt Mei thought to herself that instead of marrying into the powerful Yun family, the second lady would rather find a husband with a innocent family and few people in her family. Besides, their Su family has money, and adding more dowry at that time will be enough for their young couple to live.
"Aunt Mei, if I go to see him, it may not be polite." Su Jinxin saw that Aunt Mei was determined to match her and Li Muzhou. Although she knew that Aunt Mei was for her good, she thought that she would marry into the Yun family, and that Mrs. Yun alone would be detrimental to her. There were so many descendants of the Yun family, and each house was full of wives and concubines, and it would be even more difficult to gain a foothold in the Yun family.
If Su Jinxin didn't know Li Muzhou's true face, she might have considered the advice of Aunt Mei, but Li Muzhou was a despicable and shameless hypocrite. She had learned a lesson in her previous life. How could she repeat the same mistake in this life? Now the Li family is in a difficult time, and Li Muzhou has to rely on the Su family to help her. When the Li family has overcome this difficulty, Li Muzhou has gained fame and status. He has long gone to the dragon and the phoenix. How could he still take her, the little daughter of the Su family seriously?
"It's a slut who is talking too much." Su Jinxin looked unhappy, scaring Aunt Mei so much that she didn't dare to say anything more. She quickly changed the topic, "Miss Second Miss has to work hard to take care of the eldest young master in Ziyangguan these days. I wonder if the eldest young master's condition will improve."
"It's much better, the Taoist priest said that we can take Yi'er back next year." It's so fast, I didn't expect that Yi'er has been away from her for so long.
There is also Fan Fan, this naughty child, who is too idle all day long and loves to play and make fun of him, but he wants him to stay in Ziyang Temple and follow Taoist Master Xuanxuzi to practice Taoism, but he is afraid he will be suffocated to death.
When Su Jinxin thought of Fan Fan, Fan Fan's tender little face immediately appeared in her mind, and the corner of her mouth smiled unconsciously. She knew that Fan Fan would definitely frown his delicate little brow on a tree in Ziyang Temple, and said to her in an old age, "Su Jinxin, you dare to leave me alone here. My uncle is angry, really angry..."
Su Jinxin returned to her residence and took a shower and changed her clothes before going to see Mr. Su. At that time, Mr. Su waited for her in the main room for half an hour. He was naturally angry when he saw her, but he could only try his best to suppress her. After all, Su Jinxin is different from the past, and there is Mr. Yun behind her.
"My daughter has seen her father." Su Jinxin walked towards Mr. Su, with a normal expression.
"Jinxin is back," Mr. Su smiled kindly, pointed to the rosewood chair beside him, "Sit down and say."
In the main room, there was only two fathers and daughters. Su Jinxin was too lazy to pretend to be kind to Mr. Su, so he found a seat to sit down casually, but it was not the seat that Mr. Su had just designated. Mr. Su sank and even scolded Su Jinxin for being disobedient and unfilial. He really raised this daughter in vain.
"Aunt Mei just told her daughter that since Mr. Li had a token given by her grandfather, the daughter could only marry her. Please rest assured. Mr. Yun, my daughter would explain clearly and would never give her a hint. The purple bamboo flute, my daughter will send someone to return it to Mr. Yun later." Su Jinxin deliberately misinterpreted Mr. Su's meaning, but made Mr. Su angry. He came to her to discuss countermeasures, rather than asking her to marry the poor boy Li Muzhou.
