Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 58
There was a faint light in Mrs. Xiao's eyes, she turned her head to look at the attendants behind her, and said softly: "You all go down first."

"Yes." All the attendants answered in unison, and filed out after saluting.

Only then did Mrs. Xiao lower her voice and said, "I have already asked your uncle to find out that Shen Guo Shi Ziyu bribed our country's Ji Xiangguo long before he came to propose marriage. Yinger, you also know that Ji Xiangguo is you The person your father trusts the most, he took bribes from Shi Ziyu, and he counted Shen Guo's strength in detail before your father many times, and then mentioned many times that if our country can get married with Shen Guo, they will join hands. Don’t be afraid of other countries anymore. And when it comes to getting married, with your dignity as the first princess, you can only be a good match for Shen’s eldest son.”

Mrs. Xiao paused for a moment, then continued: "Before Shen Guo's son Yu came to our country, your lord father mentioned it to me several times when chatting with me, saying that he intended to promise you to Shen Guo's son as his wife. What did I do at that time?" Puzzled, why did your father-in-law think of Shen Guo for no reason? What's more, Shen Guo's Shi Ziyu came to ask for marriage not long after, your father-in-law was naturally overjoyed, and couldn't wait to agree to Shi Ziyu's marriage proposal."

Wei Ying's face was serious, and she said: "If you say that, Shi Ziyu's marriage proposal is really deliberate, he must have other plans, mother, you can't let me marry him!"

Mrs. Xiao sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Let's not talk about whether Shi Ziyu has ulterior motives, just look at his young age, his actions are so purposeful, and he will use any means to achieve his goals, so my mother doesn't like him. I don't want you to marry such a person either.

"Ying'er, mother knows very well that after you marry him, it's okay if you are useful to him, and he will always treat you well. But if you are no longer useful to him, it is difficult for mother to guarantee that he will continue to treat you as always. Good for you. It is difficult for a person like Shi Ziyu who grew up at the core of the power vortex to have feelings in his heart. But..."

Mrs. Xiao held Wei Ying's little hand tightly, and sighed: "Mother didn't know about Shi Ziyu's bribery of Ji Xiangguo before, and she didn't know about Shi Ziyu's ulterior motives. Now that your father-in-law has concluded a marriage contract with Shi Ziyu, if you want to It's hard to regret the marriage... If I had known this earlier, my mother would have promised you to someone else..."

Mrs. Xiao's words poured onto Wei Ying's heart like a basin of cold water, and instantly dispersed the tall white shadow under the swaying lights.

Wei Ying thought of the smiling thin lips under the wolf face mask, but what made the back of her head shudder, she felt that even if the man smiled gently, he didn't know what kind of tricks he was planning in his heart.

Like a benign snake on the surface.

Wei Ying looked at Mrs. Xiao's worried face, and persuaded her in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter will never marry him no matter what. Is there no place for me, Wei Ying?"

Mrs. Xiao said seriously: "Ying'er, you must not have such thoughts. If you have a mother, your mother will try to persuade your father-in-law. Fortunately, you will not be able to set a wedding date until you pass the wedding ceremony a year later. We still have time."

Wei Ying nodded and said, "I see, mother."

Seeing Mrs. Xiao's frown, Wei Ying didn't want her to worry any longer, so she changed the subject and started talking to her about the Cloud and Mist Festival, and soon made Mrs. Xiao laugh.

Then, Mrs. Xiao's gentle and pleasant laughter and Wei Ying's loud laughter intertwined and spread out of the hall, and spread leisurely far away.
