    Chapter 94 Purpose (Part 1)

    The sixth day of September is the day of great joy for Su Jincui, the sixth lady of the Duke of Anguo's mansion.  At this time of the day, Mrs. Wang took the congratulatory gifts prepared earlier and drove to the mansion of Duke Anguo, accompanied by Su Changfeng who was taking a rest.  Originally, Mrs. Wang wanted to bring her youngest daughter with her, but Xiao Ranqing had to give up because she had something to go to the princess' mansion that day.

    In fact, Xiao Ranqing was just impatient to deal with those so-called relatives.  The Tang family, the Qin family and Mrs. Lu will all go to the wedding banquet, so she doesn't have to worry that her mother will be bullied by the Qiziren, so she used the letter from Su Qi to presume that something happened and went to the princess mansion.

    "This subordinate has met Miss." Xiao Ranqing came here in a sedan chair this time, and Su Qi went up to greet her as soon as the soft sedan chair was carried to the front of the mansion.

    Xiao Ranqing raised the car curtain, "Get up, let's go in and talk."

    "Yes." Su Qi followed the soft sedan into the mansion, and couldn't help muttering in her heart.  The young lady has always discussed things with them through letters, why did she come here in person this time?  Thinking back on the contents of the letter I handed over before, could it be that the spies are urgent?

    "How many spies were found near Qingtai Mountain?" Sitting down at the main seat, Xiao Ranqing asked Su Qi through the light gauze curtain.  Due to the use of code words, the letters between Xiaoranqing and the princess's mansion have always been brief.  Therefore, in the letter, Su Qi only wrote that he found more than a dozen spies, but did not specify which spies they were from.

    "Miss Hui, there are some from the palace, and some from the prince's mansion. In addition, Anguo Gong's mansion also sent spies over." Su Qi replied.

    All the previous things were expected, but Xiao Ranqing narrowed her eyes when she heard Su Qi mentioning An Guogong's mansion.  Playing with the teacup, she said casually.  "Let them watch if they want to see it, there is no need to hide it."

    "Yes," Su Qi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help reminding, "Miss, is it a taboo in the mansion to train private soldiers so blatantly?"

    Hearing the words, Xiao Ranqing raised her eyes and glanced at Su Qi.  "It's a real taboo to practice in secret."

    Even through the gauze curtain, this glance still made Su Qi feel a sense of coercion all over her body.  He is not stupid either, after listening to Xiao Ranqing's words, he figured out the crux of the matter after a little thought.  He admired and felt ashamed in his heart, he, a man who had lived for thirty-two years, was not as clear-sighted as an eight-year-old girl.  "It's the subordinate who didn't think carefully, please punish me, Miss."

    "You dare to advise, this is very good. However, you need to think carefully before admonishing in the future. If you induce me to make a wrong decision because of your wrong advice, you can't afford the consequences. Miss you  This is my first offence, so I won't care about it this time. But let's not be an example." Xiao Ranqing lowered her voice slightly, sounding quite majestic.

    "Yes, this subordinate has remembered." Su Qi bowed in response.

    After that, Xiao Ranqing gave some other instructions about the things mentioned in his letter. It wasn't until the end of the day, that the banquet over there was about to end, that she got on the soft sedan again and went back home.  Watching the indigo soft sedan go away gradually, Su Qi's doubts did not diminish.  At first he thought that the young lady would come here specially because she had some special order, but after hearing what she said just now, it was clear that she could write it in a letter and deliver it as usual.  So, why did the lady come here?

    "Brother Seven, why do you care so much. Maybe Miss is just bored in the mansion, so come out to get some air." Su Ba patted Su Qi's shoulder and said.

    Hearing this, although Su Qi felt it was absurd, but after thinking about it, it didn't make sense.  No matter how old-fashioned Miss usually behaves, she is still just an eight-year-old baby in essence, and it is not surprising that she occasionally behaves in such a wayward manner.

    Back in the mansion, Mrs. Wang and Su Bingwen haven't come back yet.  Xiao Ranqing was puzzled, when she passed by An Guogong's mansion just now, she specially asked Mint to pay attention, saying that there were much fewer cars and horses parked in front of the gate than when she came here.  The Wang family also didn't want to see the people from Anguo Gong's mansion, so they probably wouldn't stay for long.  But now it's almost the end of the day and he hasn't come back yet. Could it be that something happened again?  Just as he was thinking about going to Anguo Gong's mansion, Zhuyu, who had been sent to guard the gate of the mansion earlier, reported that Mrs. Wang and Su Bingwen had returned.

    Get up and go to the main courtyard, followed Hu Po into the house, and saw Mrs. Wang and Su Changfeng sitting opposite each other and talking, neither of them looked happy.  Xiaoranqing's heart tightened, could it be that mother got angry over there?  Thinking of this, he even quickened his pace and walked closer to salute, "Father, mother."

    "Bao'er is here, is there any arrangement for the princess's mansion?" Su Changfeng turned his head and asked casually.  He was worried that his daughter would be flustered due to unfamiliarity with those affairs when she first came into contact with them, but in the past two months, not only did her daughter not feel flustered at all, but she also seemed to be familiar with it.  They ordered Su Qi and the others to take care of the inside and outside of the princess' mansion properly, and they didn't look like they were beginners at all.  Regarding this, Su Changfeng is not without doubts.??.  But considering that her daughter has been extremely intelligent since she was a child, and has always been a lover of reading, and is often by Mr. Wang's side, it is not surprising to learn about such things.  After being relieved, I was proud but also a little sour.  His own daughter was so capable that even a father like him had nowhere to go for help.  Having said that, Xiao Ranqing is still young after all, although Su Changfeng has confidence in his daughter, he dare not let it go.  He would ask a few words every few days, which has almost become a habit.

    "I've already told Su Qi and the others, father don't have to worry." If someone asked about these things from time to time, Xiao Ranqing would think that person was trying to control her every move.  But she clearly understood that her father was only out of concern for her, so she didn't feel impatient at all.  After answering Su Changfeng, Xiao Ranqing turned to Wang and asked, "Mother went to An Guogong's mansion today, what happened?"

    "It's true that something happened, and it's related to you." Although Mrs. Wang lives in the inner house, she still knows a little about her daughter's abilities.  As a result, she gradually stopped avoiding her daughter on many matters, and sometimes even went to her daughter to discuss it.  "Bao'er, the old lady of Anguo Gongfu wants you to change your name to Su Jinqing."

    "Changed to Jinqing?" Xiao Ranqing raised her eyebrows. The word "Jin" is a name that only the daughters of the second wife of the eldest son of the Su family are eligible to use, and their third wife is only from the concubine, and even a few sons are almost out of reach.  Not in the Bingzi generation, let alone her daughter.  So at the beginning, Su Changfeng and Wang didn't go to Xin'an Duke's mansion to make fun of themselves, but directly named Xiaoranqing by themselves.  At this moment, the old matriarch personally proposed to change Xiaoranqing to the "Jin" character generation, which is indeed a great honor from the perspective of outsiders.  However, that is only for outsiders.

    From Xiao Ranqing's point of view, what qualifications do those relatives in the An Guogong Mansion who are not relatives have the right to dictate her name?  blood?  seniority in the family?  I'm sorry, she doesn't pay much attention to these things, whether it's the previous life or the present life.  Then why did Xiao Ranqing look at Ying Jie'an differently?  The main reason is that Ying Jie'an and the Ying family have no conflict of interest with her today, and they have no malice towards her.  If Ying Jie'an had the same intentions as her uncle in the previous life, Xiao Ranqing would not follow his wishes because of the ties of blood in the previous life.  "Bao'er likes Daddy's name."

    "Hahaha, it's not in vain to have Bao'er's words. I have been thinking about your name for a long time." Su Changfeng rubbed Xiao Ranqing's head, and rarely laughed happily.

    "Don't worry, Bao'er, mother has already rejected the old lady." Thinking of the unbelievable appearance of the people in that room at that time, Wang couldn't help sneering in her heart. That old lady Su really thought what kind of gift she had given her.  Great grace!  She had suspected the purpose of Duke An's mansion for inviting her this time, and as soon as she entered the mansion, Mrs. An Guogong personally came forward to greet her.  But seeing that Xiaoranqing didn't follow, his attitude obviously became much lighter.  Wang's suspicion suddenly became more and more serious. It seemed that this situation was aimed at her own daughter.  After the wedding banquet was over, she was about to say goodbye and go back home.  But I heard the servant girl came to report that the old lady asked her to go over and talk.  After that, the old lady proposed to change Xiaoranqing's name.  Therefore, Wang can be sure that the family members are really planning on her daughter.  Reminiscent of all the gossip heard at the wedding banquet before, Wang's heart suddenly understood most of it.  It depends on whether she is willing to use her daughter's status to suppress the message!

    It turned out that the Sixth Miss Su Jincui who got married this time was one of the three daughters of Anguo Gongfu's mansion at the spring feast.  That day, she really fell in love with a new Jinshi, and that Jinshi also had a good impression of her, and within half a month after that, a matchmaker came to propose marriage.  It's just that the old lady of the Su family and Mrs. An Guogong had already arranged for the marriage of these three girls of the right age, so the matchmaker was kicked out of the mansion in a mocking manner.  Su Jincue didn't give up when she learned about this. She has lived in this mansion for more than ten years, and she has always swallowed her anger when she was wronged.  But if he doesn't resist this time, he will be wrong for the rest of his life!

    Begging on her knees, going on a hunger strike, and hanging herself, Su Jincui tossed and tossed in the mansion for more than a month, but couldn't arouse any sympathy.  What is a little concubine like her compared to the splendor and wealth of An Guogong's mansion?  Thinking of the situation of the first two concubine sisters after their marriage, Su Jin's heart turned cold.  Her own mother was also an aunt, and she knew very well what her aunt lived.  But what can she do?  The biological father ignored her, the aunt's mother hated her, and the biological mother was incompetent. It would be difficult for her as an unfavored concubine to change her own destiny.  Originally, she was disheartened, but the performance of "Wen Jun's Night Run" performed by the theater troupe invited for her aunt's birthday immediately made her heart brighten.  She fell in love with that Jinshi but was blocked by her family, so she was the same as Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun.  Why didn't she follow Zhuo Wenjun's example and elope with that Jinshi to leave Beijing, and live together from then on?  At this time, Su Jincui forgot that Sima Xiangru still defeated Zhuo Wenjun in the end.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
