Chapter 82: Embarrass her and force her to leave
"I appreciate your kindness, sister, but my innocence has been ruined by His Highness. It is impossible for me to be with any other man except His Highness. Even if I become a widow, that is my business. Please help me just once. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life." Su Hua said sincerely.

Su Ci held Su Hua's soft little hand, his feelings more sincere and sincere, "Sister, please don't think too much, otherwise you will regret it in the future. I am not afraid to tell you the truth again. Your Highness's new concubine Bai has a deep relationship with your Highness, but she has not been able to sleep with you until now. There is no doubt that your Highness has a hidden illness. If I make the decision to let you enter your Highness's backyard, your life will be over, and I will not be able to explain to my father. I have made up my mind about this matter. I would rather suffer myself than drag you to suffer with me. You should return to the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible. With my father here, he will definitely help you find a good marriage."

Su Hua wanted to shake off Su Ci's hand, but she held back. She managed her expression with great difficulty, gritted her teeth, and knelt down in front of Su Ci: "Sister, this is my own choice. I want to be your concubine. As long as you ask, you can help me realize my wish. I will take care of the future, as long as you help me this time."

Su Ci sighed softly when he saw this: "Since my sister is determined to do this, I will help her this time. Your Highness is not in the palace at the moment. When Your Highness returns to the palace, I will ask Your Highness what he thinks."

Su Hua's face turned pale when she heard this: "Sister, you can't——"

Su Ci was puzzled: "Why not? Don't you want to become His Highness's concubine?"

Su Hua wondered if Su Ci did it on purpose.

If Zhao Shizhu was willing to let her enter the backyard of the palace, he would have taken her in that night. Why would he wait until now?

Because she knew that Zhao Shizhu had no interest in her, she did not dare to take the risk of letting Zhao Shizhu know. She could only start with Su Ci and let Su Ci make the decision for her.

Originally she was counting on the lady dowager to help her, but now the lady dowager has suddenly changed her mind and is unwilling to help her, so she goes to Su Ci and hopes that Su Ci can lend her a helping hand.

Unexpectedly, Su Ci kept making excuses and refused to agree, and even wanted to ask Zhao Shizhu's opinion.

Su Hua lowered her head and said softly, "I just hope that this matter can be settled as soon as possible, without any unnecessary complications. Didn't my elder sister take the initiative to marry Bai Yi Niang for His Highness last time? I think that if this matter can be settled today, I can help my elder sister win favor and deal with Bai Yi Niang as soon as possible in the future..."

"Sister, you are thinking wrong! Sister Bai and I are both His Highness's people. We should support each other instead of competing for favor. Besides, it is His Highness who is taking a concubine, not me. Last time, I took the initiative to take a concubine for His Highness, which made His Highness unhappy. If I repeat the same mistake this time and His Highness dislikes me and divorces me in anger, it will not only be shameful for me, but also for the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion!" At this point, Su Ci's expression became serious, "Sister, please remember one thing, no one can bring shame to the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion, not even me. Personal honor and disgrace are not as important as the reputation of the Xuanping Marquis!"

Su Hua thought to herself, hadn't the reputation of Xuanping Marquis's Mansion been ruined by Su Ci? Who was she trying to deceive by pretending to be so hypocritical?
"Sister, can't you help me just once..."

Su Ci stood up and interrupted Su Hua coldly: "It seems that my sister doesn't regard me as a sister, otherwise she wouldn't embarrass me again and again. Why don't you ask other families, who takes a concubine without asking the owner's opinion? How much power do you think I, the Princess of Duan, have to bypass His Highness and make my own decisions? I said that I would ask His Highness for his opinion on my behalf, this is the limit of what I can do. Or do you want to join forces with the Madam to embarrass me and only feel relieved when I leave the house?!"

Su Hua anxiously explained: "Of course not."

"If you feel that I can't help you, you should go to the Madam. Isn't the Madam anxious to help Your Highness take a concubine? Since you are a distinguished guest invited by the Madam, and you get along well with the Madam, why bother to come to me?"

Su Ci said as he looked at Sixue: "Sixue, show the guest away!"

Before Sixue could say anything, Su Hua gritted her teeth and said, "I won't leave. If sister doesn't agree, I won't get up today." "Okay, then I'll kneel down until Your Highness comes back, and then I'll ask Your Highness what he thinks in person." After Su Ci finished speaking, he didn't bother to pay attention to Su Hua and walked away.

Ever since she took control of the palace's finances, she has been very busy every day. How could she have the time to waste with Su Hua on Zhao Shizhu?
Su Hua didn't expect Su Ci to react like this. She came to the palace with Wen Hui. After she knelt down, Wen Hui also knelt down. There was no one to inform the lady.

Besides, this is Jingyuanzhai. How can she report her progress to the lady dowager?

Little did she know that after seeing this scene from afar, Nanny Tang made a special trip to Dingjing Hall.

Gao sighed when she heard this: "Su Ci's scheming is extraordinary. It's normal for Su Hua to suffer in front of Su Ci."

In just a few days, she hated Su Ci more and more. She could only say that Su Ci reminded her of the bitch who had oppressed her in the palace before and left her with no chance of recovery.

Nanny Ning thought for a moment and said to Gao, "If His Highness comes back and knows about this, he will definitely not let Miss Su San enter the backyard, and Miss Su San will never have the chance to get close to His Highness again. Madam, you have to make a choice on this matter."

They originally wanted Su Ci to take the initiative to accept Su Hua as a concubine. This way, it would not be like the rumors that the lady forced Su Ci to take a concubine. Instead, they could turn the tables and say that Su Ci took Su Hua into the prince's backyard in order to consolidate his favor.

But Su Ci didn't fall into their trap and didn't follow their script, so things got troublesome.

"You mean to let me make the decision to take Su Hua as Zhuoqing's concubine? This would only confirm the rumors outside that I, the wicked mother-in-law, forced Su Ci to take a concubine?" Gao's face did not look good.

She has always valued her reputation, how could she let it be ruined by a bitch like Su Ci?

"This is the princess's cleverness. She has forced the madam into a state of no retreat. But if we don't let Miss Su San enter His Highness's backyard, according to Aunt Bai's methods, she will definitely not be a match for the princess. If Miss Su San successfully becomes His Highness's concubine, and can win His Highness's heart and give birth to his children, wouldn't that be enough to break the princess' heart? I think that temporary honor and disgrace are nothing. After a long time, who will remember what happened today? The one who laughs last can become the king." Nanny Ning expressed her opinion.

Gao deeply agreed with this.

Now Su Ci's momentum was too strong. What she couldn't tolerate the most was that although Su Ci was not favored, he was able to take away the power of the family from her.

She couldn't allow Su Ci to dominate the palace alone, so she had to find an opponent who was equally matched with Su Ci, and that person had to be Su Hua.
