Part of Shao Yin's reputation was indeed earned by herself, but part of it was deliberately shaped by the Huaiyin Marquis.
As for the reason, it is naturally for the future of the Hou Mansion.
"The old Marquis back then was actually quite ambitious. He wanted to make the Marquis Mansion flourish, but he soon discovered that his two sons were mediocre. In the future, Huaiyin Marquis Mansion will be handed over to them, and they will be able to maintain the old mansion. The scenery is already pretty good.¡±
Therefore, for the sake of the Hou Mansion, the old Hou Ye desperately wanted to have a son, an heir capable of supporting the Hou Mansion.
It's a pity that he was injured back then, and apart from two legitimate sons and a bastard who was raised timidly, it is impossible for him to have any sons.
The son could not be counted on, and the old Hou Ye quickly set his sights on his daughter.
However, Shaoyin is a daughter, but she is even better than a son. Not to mention proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and Fu, she is also beautiful.
Such a daughter, as long as she marries a good husband with high status and authority, will she still worry about no one in the Marquis Mansion to protect her in the future?
The old Hou Ye began to screen candidates for his son-in-law, and the one he fell in love with was the third prince who was loved the most by the late emperor.
He began to look for opportunities to get in touch with the third prince, and planned to marry Shao Yin to the third prince to become the prince concubine. He felt that with the love the former emperor had for the third prince, he was very likely to inherit the throne in the future.
This matter was quickly noticed by Shao Yin.
Shao Yin didn't want to marry into the royal family at all, let alone become a pawn in his father's hands, so naturally he firmly opposed it.
But at this time, Gu Jing from the Gu family was joining in the fun, not to mention proposing marriage, but also told the old master that he and Shao Yin were in love.
Although the old Hou Ye didn't believe it, his idea of ??marrying Shao Yin to the third prince became more serious. He said that he wanted to choose a son-in-law for Shao Yin, but it was actually a disguised form to convey a message to the third prince.
At that time, the third prince also had a good impression of Shao Yin, but his mother and concubine hoped that he would marry a concubine who would be more helpful to him.
The third prince wanted to marry Shao Yin, yes, but he could only be a side concubine.
Of course the old Hou Ye did not agree, his status was not low at that time, how could he allow his daughter to be a side concubine? Besides, the side concubine is inferior to others. In the future, when the third prince ascends the throne, the side concubine will not be able to become a queen.
However, when the two sides were in a stalemate, Shao Yin was kidnapped by Gu Jingyuan.
The old Hou Ye's hopes fell through, and the anger in his heart almost gushed out.
Moreover, Gu Jingyuan's shriveled boy also said that Shao Yin eloped with him, even though the old Hou Ye suppressed the rumors on the spot. But the third prince has so many eyeliners, how can he not find out about this?
He felt that he had been humiliated, and blamed all the faults on the old marquis.
The Marquis of Huaiyin gradually declined from that time on.
The old Hou Ye soon announced that Shao Yin died of a sudden illness, and started to clean up the Gu family.
It's a pity that the wrong crimes committed by the Gu family did not result in death, and the way the former emperor was convicted was very random, coupled with the Gu family's own operation, they were only exiled to Linxun Island in the end.
When Gu Yundong heard this, he couldn't help letting out a heavy breath.
The old Marquis of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion seemed to be exactly the same as what she heard.
It is rumored that the old Hou Ye is upright and courageous, and he is also wise. He supports the huge Hou Mansion by himself and makes the Hou Mansion flourish.
But hearing his other side at this moment, Gu Yundong couldn't help sighing again.
To say that Lord Hou is not too bad, most of the powerful families in the capital have ambitions, who would not want their family to prosper forever? Helpless, the descendants of later generations will not live up to expectations, so they can only find another way. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
