Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 446

The Su family had a bitter summer.

Although it was a bitter summer, Qin Sui knew that Su was suffering from a mental illness because many things had piled up in her mind.

These days, whenever Qin Su was at home, she would eat with Su. However, Su behaved very well in front of Qin Su, but as soon as Qin Su left, Su became lazy and had no interest.

When Qin Sui heard that her mother didn't even want to take care of her children, she was afraid that her mother would become ill. After discussing with Xiao Chenyu, she went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to see the Ninth Prince.

"You said you wanted your father to come home and stay for a few days?" The Ninth Prince thought Qin Cui was going to say something important, but it turned out to be this.

"Yes, now we can't find him, so we can only ask the prince to show mercy and let him go home."

When the Ninth Prince asked the reason, Qin Sui said that Su was in a bad mood.

The Ninth Prince was silent for a moment before he said, "I handed over the organization managed by your father to the Emperor. Now, I can no longer arrange for him to do anything."

Qin Su was shocked and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, that is your trump card, why did you give it to the emperor?"

"If I don't hand it over, how can the emperor believe that I have given up my selfish desire for the throne?"

Seeing that Qin Su remained silent but her eyes kept moving, it was obvious that Qin Su did not trust herself that much.

If she had to choose between herself and Huo Jianguang, Qin Sui would definitely trust Huo Jianguang more.

The Ninth Prince had always believed that Huo Jianguang had targeted him because he was in cahoots with the Du family, but now he finally realized that Huo Jianguang probably knew Die Ji.

But the Ninth Prince still didn't know how Huo Jianguang and Die Ji knew each other, and that they were so close that they avenged him and even took good care of Su and Qin Su.

"If I don't hand it over, the emperor won't trust me. Of course, how long can I live? So what if he doesn't trust me? What can he do to me? But I have to think about you! What will you do if I die?"

This was the first time that the Ninth Prince said that among the people he protected, Qin Sui’s family was also included.

Even though she was skeptical, Qin Sui was still somewhat touched.

The Ninth Prince said at the beginning that he wanted Qin Su and his wife to help Yao Xiang, but in fact he did not do much for Yao Xiang. Most of the time it was mutually beneficial, and Qin Su and his wife have gained greater benefits now.

If Yaoxiang went to Dancheng after getting married, then the ones who would benefit more would actually be Xiao Chenyu and Qin Sui.

"In fact, if you want to see your father, just let Xiao Chenyu talk to the emperor." The old prince was a little tired. After saying this, he asked Qin Cui to go talk to Yao Xiang.

Qin Cui had a lot of things to think about at home, so she didn't go to see Yao Xiang and went straight home.

Ever since the young prince's marriage was arranged, Xiao Chenyu has been able to go home every day.

At night, Qin Cui told Xiao Chenyu that she wanted Uncle Qi to go home, and Xiao Chenyu agreed to arrange it.

On the third day, Uncle Qi came home, and the family was as lively as if it were a festival. Mrs. Su immediately became excited and kept hanging around Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi was silent for a while, but the look he gave Su and the child did not change. Qin Sui tried to find out what he was doing, but Uncle Qi calmly changed the subject. Qin Sui then knew that there were some things she couldn't ask.

Anyway, Qin Cui firmly believed that Uncle Qi would not harm his family.

The young prince was getting married, and Qin Sui and Xiao Chenyu were both invited to attend the banquet.

Although attending a banquet of this scale is something that many people look forward to, it is really very troublesome. Qin Sui and Li Siniang started preparing their costumes very early. But on the wedding day, Xiao Chenyu was called into the palace, and Qin Sui had to go to the banquet alone.

The young prince was raised by the Empress Dowager and was very close to the Emperor, but he was not a prince after all. However, this palace was the residence of a former prince. Later, the prince had no heirs, and the palace has been vacant ever since.

Although some changes have been made, it is still considered to be beyond the regulations.

However, the Queen Mother insisted and the Emperor did not stop them. The clan members found the Ninth Prince, but he avoided talking about it. So, this little prince who was not a prince lived in the mansion regulated by the prince.

The main hall for entertaining guests was filled with royal relatives, first-class noble families, first- and second-rank officials and their families.

The side halls on both sides housed the families of officials of lower status, aristocratic families, and royal relatives.

With Qin Sui's status, it was already good enough for her to be able to come in. She couldn't even enter the main hall, so she was arranged to sit in the side room.

It had been a long time since the last time she attended a banquet. Qin Sui had offended Princess Huaye, and everyone knew about it. After that, no one invited Qin Sui to a banquet.

After all, it is the wedding of the young prince and Jiang Yue. Qin Sui hopes that today can go smoothly without any trouble.

Qin Cui was a stranger in the room, and everyone looked at her curiously. The cheerful lady next to her took the initiative to talk to her, but after hearing her self-introduction, everyone in the room fell silent.

No one knows Qin Su, but how could everyone not be familiar with the person who dared to go against Princess Huaye?
I just didn't expect that this woman was so beautiful and she didn't look like a reckless person.

Everyone nodded to Qin Su awkwardly but politely, then turned to chat and laugh with others, leaving Qin Su aside. Fortunately, Qin Su didn't care about it and sat alone calmly.

The woman who had spoken to her earlier felt embarrassed and deliberately tried to talk to Qin Sui.

It is certainly better to have someone to talk to than to sit there alone. Qin Sui understood her good intentions and started chatting with her. Unexpectedly, the two of them actually got along very well.

"Madam, you are here. It's going to be hard for that servant to find you!"

Suddenly, their pleasant conversation was interrupted by a maid. They both turned their heads and Qin Cui found that it was Yao Xiang's maid.

"Why do you come to me if you don't want to serve the princess well?" Qin Sui was familiar with her and spoke casually.

"The princess said you must be bored alone, so she specially arranged a seat next to you and asked that servant to invite Madam to sit in the main hall."

The maid's voice was not loud, but the people around could hear it: The princess personally invited us to the main hall!

Qin Sui ignored the envious and inquiring looks from the people around her and directly refused, saying, "Go back and tell the princess that I'm fine sitting here. Look, I've made a friend I can talk to!"

The maid looked at the woman who was talking to Qin Su, then looked at Qin Su, and said with a sweet smile: "Since Madam is unwilling to go, then I will go and report to the princess first. However, if Madam needs anything, you can ask the maids in the mansion to find the princess."

It was obvious that this girl was speaking to everyone present. She was warning everyone not to embarrass Qin Su, let alone bully her.

Qin Su was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Without Yao Xiang's protection, no one here could bully her, Qin Su.

There were quite a few princesses and princesses here today. Everyone present also had some relatives and friends in the main hall or side halls, so it was not surprising that Qin Su recognized the princess.

However, no one invited them to sit in the main hall or the side hall. If they could go, no one would refuse. This would not only be a topic of conversation when they return home, but even the men in the family would be more capable and successful in officialdom.

To put it bluntly, where you sit represents your status and identity.
