Chapter 424: One can be colorful
Chapter 424: One can be colorful
After Shu Tingyu returned home and heard about his sister and Prince Yun, he was silent for a long time.
Originally, Shu Xiaoxiao disguised herself as a man and they planned to let their sister enjoy herself for a while, just to broaden her horizons. There would be no problem in returning to her identity when the time came.
But later, Shu Xiaoxiao was unexpectedly granted the title of Marquis. Although it was beyond their expectations, the family immediately adjusted their plans and told the emperor about the matter. They also prepared two plans. One was that when Shu Xiaoxiao reached a certain age, she would directly abandon her identity as Marquis Ye and restore her identity as the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. There would be no problem with her marriage, and she could find a man with a similar family background.
The second is to see what the emperor thinks. He can give up the title of Marquis Ye, but when getting married, he must choose someone with no status, or even an ordinary person. He can marry quietly in the name of the general's daughter, and then find an excuse to marry someone from another place. The identity of Marquis Ye can be retained, but he cannot appear in front of the world too frequently in the future.
In fact, the best way is for Lord Ye to fake his death, but Shu Xiaoxiao knows too many people now. The two senior brothers, those classmates, and those young masters in Kyoto, Shu Xiaoxiao has basically dealt with them all, and they are all very good people.
Everyone in the family is more inclined to think that after Shu Xiaoxiao gets married, she can be sent away for a few years, and things will probably be much better when she comes back.
But both of these methods are based on the assumption that the future brother-in-law is a good person or even someone they trust. In the first case, Shu Tingyu also hopes to find a man who has never met Lord Ye, so that he will be less likely to be exposed. After all, even if there is the Illusion Heart Grass, there is no guarantee that there will be no flaws.
As for the second type, the man’s status must not be too high, so that things can always be under their control.
But Prince Yun does not meet their standards in any aspect. What's more, Prince Yun is attracted to the sister who is dressed as a man. That's even more outrageous, okay?
Unless you reject it now and reduce contact in the future, Shu Xiaoxiao's identity will be exposed sooner or later!
As for letting Shu Xiaoxiao announce her daughter's identity as Lord Ye, the General's Mansion had never even thought about it.
Not to mention that the prince has high requirements for women. If they knew that Shu Xiaoxiao disguised herself as a man and got married, there would definitely be gossip. Even if they don't care, what about Shu Xiaoxiao's future husband's family?
As long as other people know about this, anyone who dislikes Shu Xiaoxiao or if she does something wrong can use this as an attack on her, and her life will definitely be difficult in the future.
Another thing is that Shu Xiaoxiao was not low-key at all when she dressed up as a man. She went to brothels and restaurants, fought, and drank with men. In short, she did everything she should and shouldn't do.
She is Marquis Ye now, so it is nothing for her to do those things. But if she changes into women's clothes again, those old stubborn people in the court will keep talking about her, and even outsiders will not say anything good about her in the future. Even if Shu Xiaoxiao has done a lot for Daning and found a lot of good children for the people, there are still many people who cannot bear to see others live well, and they will smear her without any mercy.
Not to mention anything else, they also have enemies in the General's Mansion. For such a long time, Shu Xiaoxiao has blocked other people's way and even injured people in previous fights. Now that they have such a big handle on her, how can they not step on her hard?
They don't care what happens to them, but they can't bear to see their sister living in the rumors and gossips of others. The pressure is extremely great, and they can't even predict the consequences.
Shu Tingyu finished explaining the interests involved and looked at his sister who was silent for a rare time. Although he was angry that Prince Yun was taking away their family's property, he had to admit that Prince Yun was indeed a very good husband. At least he could protect his sister.
Even if there was no Prince Yun, they were ready to let Shu Xiaoxiao consider restoring her identity.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Although it's not easy to deal with, fortunately the emperor knows about my sister's affairs. If Prince Yun really likes my sister, with the emperor here, we can take the first approach. But we must make sure of Prince Yun's opinion. If he disagrees, we won't force him. As long as he can keep it secret, it's fine. After all, our General's Mansion is still worthy of their Dingbei Marquis Mansion."
"Besides, even if my sister and her family don't marry, our general's mansion can still support them."
My sister and Prince Yun are fellow apprentices. If I tell him about the matter, even if he is unhappy or minds her past behavior, he will not expose it. He has even been thinking of asking his sister to give up her identity as Marquis Ye. After all, it is time for her to find someone else. But he didn't expect that Prince Yun would fall in love with my sister in men's clothing.
In the current situation, if my sister likes Prince Yun, she can only tell him the truth. But no matter what, she must find a way to restore her female body as soon as possible. As for Lord Ye, the only way is to let him have an accident. This is the safest way.
As for crops, even if you are not Lord Ye, you can still study them.
Shu Xiaoxiao was silent for a while. She understood the reason, but she was reluctant to give up this identity. After she regained her identity, she would have to marry, have children, take care of her husband and children at home, and never go out of the house. At most, she would go out to attend a party.
You can't go to any pubs, academies, or brothels, and you have to be prudent in your behavior.
Don’t think that everything will be the same even if your identity is restored, and don’t think that you can challenge this feudal dynasty by traveling through time.
Every dynasty has its own reasons for operation. It is extremely difficult for one person to change it. Shu Xiaoxiao never thought that she had such ability. She would be satisfied if she could live a good life.
But if she wants to get married, keeping this identity is actually a hidden danger, which is not good for anyone, unless she never gets married and is always Marquis Ye. Then the young lady of the general's mansion must disappear, and even her identity must never be exposed. Besides, not everyone in her family will agree that she will be alone forever. In addition, there is also her senior brother, so her identity problem cannot be solved.
Shu Xiaoxiao even thought about confessing to Yun Qinghan in a few days. If Yun Qinghan was disgusted with her past or something, then they would just be simple fellow apprentices in the future. For the sake of being fellow apprentices, her senior brother would not expose her and would probably find a way to cover up for her.
As for her, she doesn't have a deep relationship now anyway. Shu Xiaoxiao thinks that if Yun Qinghan dislikes her, she can find a decent handsome guy after she restores her identity, and spend the rest of her life with him if possible. If the handsome guy is disobedient, she can fake her death. With money and background, she should be happy alone!
After all, many modern women who are divorced are living happily. Many facts in modern times tell us that for a woman’s life, having a man is icing on the cake, but even without a man, her life can still be colorful!
