Zhenzhen Can Be a Concubine

Qin Wan looked at Su Xinlan with great caution.

She always acted with discretion, and there was no way her family would leak secrets.

But how did Su Xinlan manage to know about such a thing?

Su Qingzhi furrowed his brows lightly. “Having a good character is indeed admirable, but Han’er is still the daughter of the Marquis’s Manor, my granddaughter. I can’t bear to see her marry into poverty.”

Su Qingzhi felt it was unfair for Su Han, with her character and appearance, to marry into a poor family.

But he was also puzzled. How did Su Xinlan manage to get involved in this matter?

He stared at her sharply. “You’ve become quite bold. How dare you send someone to your eldest brother’s house to gather information!”

Su Xinlan’s hair stood on end as she hurriedly explained, “That’s not true! Recently, General Xiao Zheng was promoted and is now serving under Marquis. I saw him interacting with brother’s household and asked a question.”

Qin Wan discreetly lowered her eyes. Su Xinlan had somehow found out about this matter, even though her husband was involved.

This couldn’t be considered a favorable match.

Su Qingzhi gave Su Xinlan a sidelong glance. “You sure know how to meddle!”

“How is that meddling? As an aunt, I care about our family child. When Han’er marries General Xiao Zheng in the future, I naturally want my husband to guide her more. My husband’s authority in the army is higher than my eldest brother’s. If he helps General Xiao Zheng, he’ll advance faster in the future!”

Su Xinlan’s eyes flashed with pride, causing Qin Wan to lower her head in submission.

Qin Wan felt displeased as she lowered her eyes.

” What is the second matter Aunt wishes to discuss today?”

Qin Wan knew Su Xinlan’s intentions weren’t that simple. She had been visiting frequently and had put a lot of effort into controlling Su Han’s marriage.

Su Xinlan took a sip of tea and smiled. “Eldest Sister-in-law is perceptive. My second matter is also related to our Marquis’s Manor, and of course, it concerns my daughter.”

Su Qingzhi was too impatient to listen to her nonsense. He wanted to hand her over to Qin Wan and leave.

But Su Xinlan stopped him, her eyes sparkling. “Father, the Ninth Prince holds a high position, and the situation in the Ninth Prince’s Mansion is complex. I fear Yingxue won’t be able to manage on her own if she marries there. Others might have ulterior motives. I think… Why not let Zhenzhen accompany Yingxue in marriage? They could support each other as sisters!”

“What did you say?”

Qin Wan had anticipated something, but she hadn’t expected Su Xinlan to be so bold.

She had schemed this!

Su Qingzhi’s heart surged with anger. He glared at Su Xinlan and shouted fiercely, “Say that again!”

Su Xinlan, always afraid of her father, especially when he glared at her, took two steps back but continued with a shy face. “I… Wasn’t I thinking about Yingxue? She’s young, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle the title of Ninth Princess Consort. I’m worried she’ll be schemed against, so I thought why not have Zhenzhen accompany her? The two sisters can take care of each other.”

To prevent Su Qingzhi from getting angry and harming her, Su Xinlan took two more steps back and smiled as she said, “Father, Zhenzhen is a good girl. She doesn’t want to trouble Yingxue. She doesn’t want the position of a primary wife. Just being a secondary consort would suffice. She was made a county lord last year. With this status, marrying a prince and becoming a secondary consort would be more than enough!”

“Slap!”

“A loud crash!”

After a loud slap, there was the sound of someone smashing the table and chairs.
