Chapter 45 Zhao Shizhu and Su Hua get together!
Su Ci saw such a big battle, and immediately blocked Zhao Shizhu behind him: "I am returning home today, father and brother are not going to welcome me and Your Highness with swords, right?"
"Prince Duan, if you are a man, stand up for me!" Su Lian stared at Zhao Shizhu angrily.
How could he bear to see his beloved daughter being treated so badly by Zhao Shizhu as soon as she entered the palace?
Zhao Shizhu was just about to stand out from behind Su Ci, but Su Ci pushed him back again.
"Your Highness had to leave on the night of his wedding. Your Highness had just returned home and had no idea about the concubine. It was because I felt that Your Highness was not young anymore and the backyard was empty that I decided to take a concubine for Him. Dad is angry and you're mad at me. Besides, didn't Dad take a concubine just over a year after my mother passed away?! Wasn't it normal for men in the Zhou Dynasty to have three or four wives?" Su Ci stuck his neck out and reasoned with his father.
The raging anger in Su Lian's heart subsided after hearing Su Ci's words.
It was his fault as a father. He did not set a good example for his child, which made his daughter think that it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
Seeing that some neighbors were spying on what was going on in the mansion, Su Fu quickly put away his sword and asked Su Ci and Zhao Shizhu to go into the mansion to explain the situation in detail.
After entering the main hall, Su Ci repeated again: "It was my idea to take a concubine for His Highness. You can't blame His Highness for this."
Looking at his daughter who was so eager to protect her husband, Su Lian felt deeply that the old saying "a married daughter is like spilled water" is very realistic and cruel.
Zhao Shizhu stood up and said, "This is my fault. It's my fault..."
"Your Highness, why are you meddling in this? I've already said that everything is my idea and has nothing to do with Your Highness." Su Ci said, and simply grabbed Zhao Shizhu's wrist and walked out of the main hall. "Your Highness, please go to Shangxin Courtyard and wait. I'll talk to my father and come over later."
Zhao Shizhu stood there, and Su Ci whispered, "Your Highness, this makes me very embarrassed. My father usually listens to me the most. I will explain it to my father and he will understand. Your Highness, please listen to me for once?"
Zhao Shizhu met Su Ci's earnest eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally went to Shangxinyuan.
As the Zhao people left one by one, Su Ci immediately sent Su Fu away, saying that he had something to discuss with Su Lian alone.
Su Lian then took a closer look at Su Ci. Although his daughter's face was pale, her eyes were bright and her expression was high. How could she look like a resentful woman? This was how she used to act when she pretended to be sick.
"Did you really take the initiative to help His Highness take a concubine?" Su Lian finally figured it out.
He knew his daughter's temper and never let her suffer any injustice. If his daughter didn't want to, no one could bully her.
"Dad, do you still remember the dream I told you about last time?" Su Ci whispered to Su Lian.
Su Lian nodded: "Of course I remember."
The little girl even said that she wanted to marry Huaer to Zhao Shizhu, but in the end she ended up marrying into the palace.
Su Ci continued to whisper to Su Lian: "To be honest with you, I was planning to let Su Hua marry in my place on the wedding day, but His Royal Highness Prince Duan saw through my plan. At that time, I felt that no matter how much I did, I couldn't change the result. But now I don't have any feelings for His Royal Highness Prince Duan, and I don't want to sleep with him, so I was so eager to take a concubine for His Royal Highness. Also, I plan to find an opportunity to take Su Hua into His Royal Highness Prince Duan's backyard..."
Su Lian looked at Su Ci in disbelief: "Are you serious, you little bitch?!"
"How can this be false? Since Su Hua is the woman that His Royal Highness Prince Duan really wants, why don't I help her? After all, Dad only needs to remember one thing, that is, even if I marry into the palace, I will never let myself be wronged. All the people in Liangzhou are saying that the palace and His Royal Highness Prince Duan are not kind, and I am the pitiful one. I am so generous, His Royal Highness Prince Duan feels guilty towards me, and the lady gave him a lot of return gifts..."
Su Ci's voice was too soft, and the audience in front of the screen couldn't hear what she was saying. They only knew that after Su Ci whispered something to Su Lian, Su Lian suddenly seemed to understand.
[What did Su Ci say to resolve Su Lian's heart knot?] [I wish I could penetrate the screen and eavesdrop~]
[Family members, is there a possibility that Su Ci foresaw the plot of the original novel? ]
[Fuck, the above guess makes sense, otherwise why would Su Ci suddenly pair Su Hua and Zhao Shizhu together? ]
……
When Su Ci saw these comments, he thought to himself, wasn't it the information they revealed that allowed her to predict the future?
Finally, Su Ci summed it up in one sentence, that she didn't like Zhao Shizhu, her position in the palace was just like that of a housekeeper, and there would be more concubines in the future, so Su Lian didn't need to make a fuss.
The only thing is that you cannot offend Zhao Shizhu easily, as this person will become the emperor in the future.
Seeing that his beloved daughter was in excellent mental state, Su Lian finally accepted his fate.
Ah Ci is smart and can face all problems. Just like this time when she helped Zhao Shizhu to take a concubine, people would only blame Zhao Shizhu and Prince Duan's house, but Ah Ci was the object of everyone's sympathy.
A Ci herself doesn't care about Zhao Shizhu. As long as she can secure her position as princess, who can do anything to her?
But as Ah Ci's father, he sincerely hoped that the child could meet a man who truly loved her.
After comforting her old father, Su Ci was about to go to Shangxinyuan, but saw Su Qi waiting for her on the road.
As soon as he saw her, Su Qi stepped forward and said to her in an imperative tone: "You are now the Princess of Duan. Since you can take other women into the backyard of His Royal Highness Duan, you can definitely take Hua'er into the backyard of His Royal Highness Duan!"
Su Ci smiled: "Why should I help Su Hua? The more you want Su Hua to enter His Royal Highness Prince Duan's backyard, the more I will not let you do so."
Su Qi's gentle face suddenly turned a little ferocious: "She is your sister, you would rather help an outsider than help her?!"
"Yes, it's because Second Master set a good example for me. Am I not learning from him? Treating relatives as enemies is what Second Master taught me." Su Ci said as he passed by Su Qi.
Su Qi's face turned pale and blue. He wanted to chase him out, but Su Hua rushed over and said, "Brother, please be kind and think of it as doing this for me. Don't be so hard on me, okay? I really don't want to be implicated by you, brother!"
Su Ci originally said that he would find a way to let her enter the palace, but Su Qi offended Su Ci. She really didn't like Su Qi's meddling!
Su Qi looked at Su Hua with hurt expression: "Does Huaer dislike her second brother?"
"Everything is fine between me and my elder sister. It's my second brother who is meddling in other people's affairs. That's why my elder sister dislikes me!" Su Huaer frowned.
Su Qi looked at Su Hua with a hurt face. What could be more disheartening than being hated by the person you like?
Precisely because Hua'er was his sister, he didn't dare to have any improper thoughts. He just hoped that she could get what she wanted and be with the man she liked. But in the end, it was just his wishful thinking.
Su Ci was on his way back to Shangxinyuan when a comment suddenly popped up:
[Fuck, they are indeed a crazy Su family, Su Er actually wants to bring Zhao Shizhu and Su Hua together tonight! ! ]
Aww, thank you for your support, you guys have such a big heart!!
