Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 252 My Su Family’s Child

"Are you going to give up your future for a woman?"

General Yue was helpless.

He also wanted to say it, but that was a secret concerning the entire family.

"How could Qingwan possibly hinder my future? I'm already marrying above my station if I can marry her."

Cui Zheng was puzzled.

The old general shook his head and sighed.

Today, Cui Zheng was determined to get a result no matter what.

Just then, the housekeeper came hurriedly to report.

"Master, the Su Junhou outside wants to see you."

The walnut he was playing with in his hand fell to the ground in an instant.

"Who?"

His face was full of disbelief, and he could hardly control his facial features.

Su Junhou is a first-class marquis in Kyoto. He has a noble status and is a top-notch dignitary.

If it weren't for Concubine Yue, the Yue family would not have such a status.

So how can they be compared with the Su family?

Even Cui Zheng was so shocked that he forgot about Qingwan for a moment.

Marquis Su, the military marquis who became a legend in Kyoto with his outstanding military exploits?

Since the day he joined the army, we have heard countless myths about him.

So when he saw Su Junhou, he was so nervous that he couldn't move his hands and feet. He even felt that his hands and feet were redundant and he didn't know where to put them.

Naturally, he didn't notice that General Yue was also very nervous.

"I wonder why the Marquis has come to visit?"

The old general smiled with his stiff lips.

Su Junhou, Su Yan, and Zi Yu, single-handedly made the ordinary Su family become the powerful family in Kyoto. Twenty years ago, they were definitely influential figures.

However, in recent years, he has gradually become less aggressive, and despite his great reputation, he rarely appears in Kyoto.

Not to mention visiting other officials' homes.

Coming to the Yue family now is indeed surprising.

But General Yue knew very well why it was happening, and that was why he was even more afraid.

"I don't have many acquaintances in Kyoto, and the old general is one of them. I was really bored in the mansion recently, so I came to have a cup of tea with the old general."

Having said that, he looked at Cui Zheng beside him without disguising his gaze.

I investigated for a long time and also observed secretly.

Today is the first time that father and son meet.

Cui Zheng was stared at like that, his whole body stiffened and he couldn't move.

But reason told him that etiquette could not be abolished.

So he lowered his head very stiffly and hurried to salute.

"Junior Cui Zheng pays respect to Marquis Su."

With this bow, he knelt down firmly, expressing his respect for Marquis Su.

Su Yan's icy face suddenly showed a hint of smile.

He looked down at Cui Zheng, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Get up, I know you."

"My Lord, he is only a deputy general in my palace. Today..."

"I am here today and I don't intend to hide anything anymore, so there is no need for you to explain. I will make it clear to Ah Zheng."

The old general tried to distract his attention, but since Su Yan had come, he had already made up his mind.

The old general looked pale, and even his wrinkled face was trembling slightly.

Cui Zheng, on the other hand, looked puzzled. How did Su Junhou know about him? Is there anything else he wants to clarify?

"It was my idea that you cancel the engagement."

What followed made him even more confused.

"What do you mean, sir?"

They don't know each other, so what right does he have to cancel his engagement?

"Your grandfather Yue followed my arrangement and canceled the marriage because I have already chosen your future wife."

Su Yan said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Cui Zheng's face changed drastically.

"Marquis Su, although I am of humble status, my marriage should be decided by my family."

He was the one who was behind all this? He even decided to cancel his engagement? And find someone else for him?

Even if the Su family wanted to marry him, Cui Zheng only had Qingwan in his heart.

He immediately made up his mind to go back to Yuwen's house and find a way to get her forgiveness.

Breaking off the engagement must have been the stupidest decision he had ever made.

"Even if the son of my Su family cannot marry a noble princess, he should at least marry a legitimate daughter of a famous family. Yuwen Qingwan was born too poor and is not worthy of her."

Su Yan was not unhappy when he heard his words.

I smiled and watched him act impulsively because of love. It turned out that he was quite similar to when he was young.

"My Lord, be careful with your words."

The old general was so frightened that his eyes bulged out and his face was filled with shock.

"what did you say?"

Cui Zheng was even more confused. Did he hear it wrong or misunderstand it?

What does his relationship with him have to him as the son of the Su family?

"I came here today to find my long-lost son. I will take you back to the Junhou Mansion to recognize your ancestors."

He looked straight at Cui Zheng, and people who saw him began to feel cold from the soles of their feet.

Cui Zheng was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word. He just instinctively looked at the person he trusted the most, General Yue.

But all I saw was that his face was ashen and he was visibly panicked.

So, Grandpa Yue actually knows about it too?

It is unknown how much time had passed. Later, even though Cui Zheng followed Junhou Su back to Junhou Mansion, he still could not believe his bizarre life experience.

three days later.

Talent show.

All the ladies from the famous families in Kyoto who met the requirements were admitted into the Imperial Palace.

A total of 268 concubines to be selected entered the palace and lived in Lanfangyuan and the nearby Lanyueyuan.

The deserted palace became lively as a result.

This was because there hadn't been a beauty pageant in decades, and even some of the new palace maids and eunuchs had never seen such a scene.

Yuwen Qingwan and Yuwen Mingzhu entered the palace together. Among the many ladies, they were very famous because of their noble status.

As soon as I arranged to stay, other people came to visit.

"Sister Mingzhu, I found a strange-looking fish in the backyard. It actually has horns. Shall we go take a look?"

A familiar young lady came. She had been seen at the banquet before. She was Zhou Yan, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works, who was only half a year older than Yu Mingzhu.

Yu Mingzhu was young and most interested in such things, so he wanted to run out immediately.

"Little sister, dinner is almost ready, why don't we go tomorrow?"

It's a strange place in the deep palace, so you'd better be careful.

"I'll be back soon. It'll only take a cup of tea. I can catch up with dinner. Sister Qingwan, please let me go. If I go later, I'm afraid there won't be any seats. There are so many people going there."

Zhou Yan was very anxious and wanted to grab the person and run away.

"I beg you."

"Second sister, I'll be back soon."

Yu Mingzhu smiled and rushed out, holding hands, and soon disappeared.

Seeing this, Yuwen Qingwan was extremely helpless.

Her family told her to take good care of Mingzhu and not let anything happen to her before she took part in the selection. Now she would be worried once she entered the palace. What would she do in the future?

Helplessly, she could only drag her tired body to follow.

The so-called strange fish is in the backyard pond.

This indeed attracted quite a few beauties, who stood by the pond to watch.

The magical thing is that when Mingzhu appeared, everyone else made way and pulled her to the middle.

"Look, there it is."
