Chapter 884: Kick the scumbag, peach blossoms bloom 23

The whole court was in an uproar for a moment. This was a marriage proposal letter from the new king of Xiang. Has Su Yan's reputation spread to Xiang?

If she were to say that she was now the second richest woman in Jiang State, no one would dare to say that they were the first.

Such a wealthy woman who has business all over the country, not to mention the King of Xiang wants to marry her, even if the Emperor of Jiang was 20 years younger, he might want to take her into the palace as a concubine.

Last year, Su Yan was conferred the title of county lord because of her contributions to disaster relief.

She alone donated one million taels of silver for disaster relief, shocking the government and the public.

If not for this, the people of Jiang would probably only know that there was a female billionaire named Su Er Gongzi, but they didn't know that Su Er Gongzi was already so wealthy.

The ministers of Jiang State were in a dilemma. If the man was seeking to marry a princess, perhaps they would happily marry the princess to him. After all, the princess who was married would be the future queen of Xiang State.

The princess needs to be supported by the people in the palace, and the annual expenses are not small.

But the other party wanted to marry the richest woman in their Jiang Kingdom, which made the ministers feel painful.

This is like sending a walking God of Wealth to the other party. No matter how you think about it, you feel that you are at a disadvantage.

Several adult princes who had originally considered marrying Su Yan as their concubine now found the situation difficult.

They haven't yet decided the outcome of the game, and haven't yet won the beauty, when suddenly the King of Xiang comes in.

This letter of marriage proposal was temporarily shelved.

The Emperor of Jiang summoned Su Yan to hear her opinion.

This was not the first time Su Yan entered the palace. She had attended several banquets in the past with her parents. Every time she came and left in a low-key manner.

She didn't want to be trapped in the palace just because she entered it once, so every time she entered the palace, she adopted the idea of ​​pretending to be an invisible person if possible.

In the past, there were people at the banquet who wanted to see what she looked like and wanted to see what the legendary fairy sister looked like.

But for other reasons, their attention was always diverted, and in the end they had almost no impression of her.

When she was outside the palace, she mostly wore men's clothing when she went out to do business, and she was often not in the capital, which made her mysterious.

Su Yan had previously drawn a hat that reduced his presence, and later discussed with 999 that the hat could be transformed into any head ornament.

Every time she entered the palace, she would wear a red hairpin that appeared to be a hat to reduce her presence.

This time, Su Yan was summoned alone and did not wear the pearl hairpin. The Emperor of Jiang was stunned by her appearance at the first sight.

I was still wondering why she had entered the palace so many times, but with such a beautiful face like a fairy from heaven, she didn't leave any ripples at all.

A face like this shouldn't be ignored. Have other people been blind all these years?

Emperor Jiang's thoughts lasted only a moment, and then he suppressed his surprise and began to ask questions like an emperor.

"Do you know why the King of Xiang asked to marry you?"

Su Yan shook her head, and then said: "I don't know. I have never been to Xiang State, and I don't know how I caught the eye of the King of Xiang State."

"Huh, you don't know? I think you are just pretending to be confused. How could you not know what you have done over the years?"

Su Yan pretended to be terrified and said, "I really don't know. I have never had any contact with people from Xiang. Your Majesty can summon the people around me, and they can all testify for me."

Emperor Jiang just wanted to scare Su Yan, but seeing how sincere she was, he felt a lot more relieved.

As long as she didn't reach any agreement with the King of Xiang or have any private dealings with him, it would be fine.

Did the King of Xiang ask to marry her simply because he was impressed by her talent and heard of her good reputation?

In fact, he didn't need to ask Su Yan. Long before Su Yan entered the palace, a survey on Su Yan's life had been placed on Emperor Jiang's desk.

The above records everything about Su Yan from childhood to adulthood. The only thing worth pondering is that after she broke off the engagement with Lu Dingjiang three years ago, she suddenly became interested in doing business. So she went from being a house-bound lady to someone who started going out, and her personality also changed.

She always has a lot of creative ideas when doing business, and doesn't seem like an inexperienced lady at all.

Did the cancellation of the engagement with Lu Dingjiang have such a big impact on her?

"So what do you mean? Do you want to marry the King of Xiang and become the future Queen of Xiang?" Emperor Jiang asked bluntly and oppressively.

Su Yan was not someone who was easily frightened. She was thinking about how to answer this question without making any mistakes.

"I am terrified. Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. But when I broke off the engagement with Lu Dingjiang, my parents promised me that I could choose my marriage partner as I wish. Now that the King of Xiang is seeking my hand in marriage, I am really caught off guard."

"Oh, you don't want to marry to Xiang Kingdom?" Emperor Jiang asked playfully.

"I am doing well in Jiang State. I have never thought of leaving Jiang State, and I know nothing about Xiang State."

"But this is the Xiang Kingdom's king asking for marriage, and my Jiang Kingdom cannot offend him because of this. The war in Jiang Kingdom has only stopped for three years, and natural disasters continue to occur. You know, I am also in a difficult situation."

Although Emperor Jiang was talking about the difficulties of the Jiang Kingdom, he was probably telling Su Yan that it was not her decision whether to marry or not.

However, he was happy in his heart when he knew that Su Yan didn't really want to marry to Xiang State, which showed that Su Yan really had no collusion with Xiang State.

Emperor Jiang was suspicious, and he called Su Yan here just to test her.

In fact, he had already made up his mind. No matter whether Su Yan was willing to marry or whether she had any connection with Xiang State, she had to marry him.

However, there may be accidents on the way to the marriage, or it may be achieved smoothly. It depends on whether Su Yan's marriage will bring more benefits or more disadvantages to Jiang State.

"Does the subject have a choice?"

Emperor Jiang did not answer. Su Yan smiled bitterly and replied in a sonorous voice: "If marrying to Xiang State can bring benefits to Jiang State, I will marry even if I am extremely reluctant."

Su Yan's subtext is naturally, I don't want to get married, but for the good of Jiang Guo, I will marry.

Emperor Jiang was very satisfied with her answer, waved his hand and let her leave.

Su Yan walked out of the palace and took a deep breath. It was indeed not easy for her to live freely in Jiang Kingdom for three years.

She knew that her business was big, and it was inevitable that a big tree would attract the wind. If she didn't marry into Jiang Kingdom now, she was afraid that her future would be even more difficult.

The status of women has improved, but it is not really on an equal footing with men.

There are too many people coveting her, and without absolute power, she cannot gain a foothold in Jiang State.

The pressure that Huo Wenyuan could withstand for her was limited. As the person she loved, Huo Wenyuan had suffered a lot of conspiracy and exclusion over the years, and she was embarrassed to implicate him again.
