With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 158 Disappointment
In the hall, everyone from the Su family was present, all focused on Su Zhiyi, wanting to ask what happened.

Su Zhiyi narrowed his eyes unnaturally, avoiding his father's gaze.

"Today I asked Ms. Qin to go to admire the plum blossoms. In order to climb the plum blossoms outside the pavilion, I accidentally stepped on the air and fell, and hurt my foot. Ms. Qin was supporting me, so I fell down and scratched my palm. , King Jin happened to be passing by, so he helped me back."

Having said that, Su Zhiyi lowered his head.

"Daughter knows it's wrong, please don't be angry with parents."

She deliberately mentioned her mother in her words, which naturally meant Cui Shi.

But as a stepmother, Cui has never been close to her, so how could she be angry?

Not only will she not be angry, but she has to speak for her in front of Su Yi at this time.

Su Junning glanced at Su Zhiyi and snorted coldly.

She knew that her second sister was not simple.

Turning her beautiful eyes slightly, Su Junning rushed to speak before Cui Shi.

"What happened to the accident, the second sister was at fault. Besides, His Royal Highness King Jin took the initiative to send my sister back out of good intentions. I don't have to blame myself. Speaking of which, my sister has no engagement now. It doesn't matter, I'm already engaged, my sister can't get married after me, right?"

Anyway, she usually speaks very directly at home, and doesn't talk much about rules, so this time, she adheres to her usual style and speaks out in a carefree manner.

After saying this, he didn't stop, and added another sentence with a smile.

"Besides, I just saw how His Royal Highness King Jin cares about Second Sister."

"Ning'er, don't talk nonsense!" Cui immediately reprimanded her.

But obviously not really angry.

Su Junning accepted it as soon as she saw it, and silently shut up and stepped aside, watching everyone's expressions.

Sure enough, he saw that his father and his eldest brother looked a lot more serious.

"You all go back first, I will have a few words with Zhiyi alone." Su Yi said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other and went back.

Cui gave Su Junning a look, meaning that she had something to ask her, so when she left the hall, Su Junning followed her.

"You girl, do you know something?" Cui asked in a low voice.

Su Junning stretched out his hand to hold her arm, and said with a smile, "Mother is the best known daughter."

"Stop talking nonsense, tell mother what's going on." Cui patted her daughter's hand.

Su Junning looked around and found no one else was there, so she lowered her voice and approached Cui's ear.

"Second sister is interested in King Jin, but now there is no engagement, I see that she probably wants to marry King Jin."

Upon hearing this, Cui Shi's complexion suddenly became more serious.

"That's not a joke, really?"

After all, in the court at the moment, Prince Jin is the most popular candidate for the next crown prince. If Su Zhiyi marries Prince Jin, it will undoubtedly drag the Su family directly onto the road of the struggle for the heir apparent.

Before Emperor Jianning lied that Su Junning was engaged to Shen Qianwei in order to prevent Su Junning from marrying into the royal family and involving the Su family in the struggle for the heir apparent.

If Su Zhiyi had committed this ignorance now, all the previous actions would have been in vain.

"What did I lie to my mother? I saw it with my own eyes. Mother still remembers what I mentioned before, her jade hairpin." Su Junning's eyes darkened.

Choi nodded.

Then Su Junning continued.

"That jade hairpin was given to Second Sister by the King of Jin, not by her herself. I was skeptical at the time, but I checked it out later, and during the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, I saw with my own eyes that Second Sister caught up with King Jin and joined him After admiring the moon for a long time, if it wasn't for the intention of both parties, how could the lonely man and the widow get along like this?"

After saying these words, Cui's brows were tightly frowned, and her eyes were full of worry and heavy color.

After a while, he ordered.

"I know all of this. Don't tell others. Make plans after I discuss it with your father. After all, I am a stepmother. I can't make decisions about her marriage. It depends on your father."

Su Junning nodded, said goodbye to Cui Shi at the fork in the road, and went back to her courtyard.

At that time in the front hall, Su Zhiyi was kneeling in front of Su Yi.

Looking at the eldest daughter, Su Yi was annoyed and distressed, his complexion turned pale for a while.

"Father, I know I shouldn't be thinking about this, but I really like His Royal Highness Jin Wang. My daughter has grown up so much, and she never wants to let her worry about it. She follows the rules everywhere, but marriage is a matter of a daughter's life. I don’t want to leave any regrets, it’s nothing more than a marriage bestowed by the emperor in the past, but now the marriage is void, my daughter wants to pursue what she wants, and I hope my father will make it happen!”

With tears in his eyes, Su Zhiyi bent over and kowtowed, unable to get up for a long time.

"If it's the young master you're looking for, no matter how difficult it is, dad can still negotiate the marriage for you, but that's the king of Jin, the prince, once you marry in, there will be countless disputes in the future. Have a moment of peace!"

Sitting on the chair, Su Yi anxiously patted the armrest, his eyes full of pain and admonition.

Facing his words, Su Zhiyi raised his head with firm eyes.

"I know what dad said, but, whoever makes me like him is him. As long as I can marry him, I have no regrets. Even ordinary couples will have discord and troubles. Yes, instead of spending this life tied to someone I don't like, I would rather choose to marry the one I like, no matter what happens in the future, at least I am really happy right now!"

"Then you don't care about the whole Su family, father, or your brother?"

Su Yi asked hoarsely, with a little disappointment in his eyes.

"Once you marry the King of Jin, our family will have to participate in the battle for succession. If you are not careful, you will fall into a land of eternal doom!"

Mentioning this, Su Zhiyi's eyes dodged a little, and he lowered his eyes to avoid Su Yi's gaze.

"Father's position is high and powerful. As long as there is a dispute in the court, he will definitely be involved. Besides, Jin Wang is the only one in the top right now. The fourth and seventh princes have no capital to compete with him. Jin Wang is likely to be the next heir. , the battle for the heirloom that father is worried about may not happen at all."

Hearing what his daughter said, Su Yi felt a lump in his throat.

Obviously, from Su Junning's incident before, Su Yi did not want his daughter to marry into the royal family, otherwise he would not be engaged to the Shen family, so he resisted.

But Su Zhiyi clearly knew what he was thinking, but still wanted to get in touch with King Jin, it was determined to confront him.

For a long time, Su Yi felt that although the second daughter's temperament was a little colder and more stubborn, she still understood the general situation and understood the overall situation. He was really disappointed that today she insisted on going her own way for the sake of love, regardless of whether she cared about it.

Hearing his father's voice to respond, Su Zhiyi's heart was also tightly gripped.

In her heart, she has always been sensible since she was a child, and never caused trouble to the family. Since Su Junning returned to Bianjing, all kinds of disturbances have continued, but her father has never said this to her once.

Su Junning likes Shen Qianwei who doesn't match the Su family at all, so she can get engaged as she wishes, why can't she!

After all, my father still likes Su Junning more.

Thinking of this, Su Zhiyi became more and more determined, and felt that he should fight for this time.

So he spoke again.

"If Dad doesn't agree, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
