..... Shen Xuan returned to the mansion, waved off the left and right, and stayed alone in the study for a long time before ordering someone to invite Mrs. Su, saying, "Did you give Ning'er a blind date with Gu Xiaode's second son, Gu Yan, before?"

Mrs. Su frowned and said "Originally, I heard that Gu Yan is quite talented and good-natured, and he is as old as Ning'er, so I did ask her about it. But Gu Xiaode's wife at first also excited, words outside the words praise our gel a thousand good good, no mouth promised. But she didn't want to go back and discuss it with Gu Xiaode, and immediately changed her mind! I was just inquiring at the time, and didn't say that I had to betroth Ning'er to the past! They ......"

Shen Xuan is not in the mood to listen to Mrs. Su's detailed account of her daughter's grievances, and interrupted "The reason why Gu Xiaode has been trusted by His Majesty is that he has always been loyal to His Majesty alone, and his son is also the Princess of Linchuan, who is favored by His Majesty. If his second son hired Ning'er as his wife, how could the saint not be suspicious of him? He naturally wouldn't jeopardize his own future for a son's marriage!"

"But ......" Mrs. Su although usually on Shen Zang Ning and beat and scold, in front of the daughters-in-law did not less reveal to Shen Zang Ning's disappointment, but privately, but also feel that their own little daughter how to say is also the valve parade first daughter, with a son of the world family, is not to be able to inherit the family business! The first son is already aggrieved, the result is also rejected how to think of the daughter feel aggrieved, Gu family insolence.

Shen Xuan was upset and said, "In this case, that Gu Yan will go to Spring Grass Lake the day after tomorrow for a small stay, you send your daughter-in-law to accompany Ning'er to the lake as well. Then ......"

"What?!" When Mrs. Su heard this, she couldn't care less about pouring out her distaste for the Gu family, and stared in dismay, "Gu Yan went to Spring Grass Lake for a small stay, and you're going to send Ning'er to ...... what do you want to do?!"

"I want to betroth Ning'er to Gu Yan." Shen Xuan looked at his wife with a complicated gaze and said, "Since Gu Xiaode won't do it, the only way to force him to agree is to let the two make contact first!"

Mrs. Su almost didn't pass out from anger, she stood up at once, trembling her voice "You ...... how can you be like this? Never men seeking women to marry, the Gu family has already refused this marriage before, difficult for us to still rush to beg them to marry Ning'er, difficult for us Ning'er can not be married out?!"

Without waiting for Shen Xuan to say anything, Mrs. Su had already sneered and said, ''I know you won't be looking at Gu Yan! It's for Gu Xiaode, and the Xuanjiawei he commands isn't it! But you've been coming in and out these past few days, frequently gathering with the Imperial Master and the others! I don't believe the Shen family can take on such a big job on its own! If you want the Emperor to be suspicious of Gu Xiaode, why don't you use someone else's daughter? Why sacrifice Ning'er? We only have two daughters. Xiu's life is miserable, she's still a concubine! You've always favored Ning'er the most and now you're doing this to her?"

Shen Xuan gave a long sigh and said, ''You think I want to? But the saint is getting more and more dim and confused, we can't endure any longer! The Rong people in this eye of the bone in a big attack, now our family only 20,000 Xiliang army in the hands of the Imperial Forest Army, the Imperial Forest Army is no longer competitive, not to mention the Xuanjia guards, at least the number of people claimed to be 300,000 ah! If we can't admonish the soldiers, and don't try to remove Gu Xiaode's stumbling block, then what should we do?"

Mrs. Su said angrily, "The Six Valves of Hai Nei, have all the daughters of the other five families died out?" She was so angry that she even scolded her mother's family, the Su family, into it.

"But only by marrying our Shen family, especially this clan, can we make Gu Xiaode speechless before His Majesty! His Majesty's scruples against the other five families are not as deep as against our Shen family! After all, among the six valves in the sea, our Shen family has been the most prominent and powerful over the years! Now there are 60,000 Western Liang army into the Central Plains ...... and, the other five families simply do not have a suitable unmarried first daughter!" Shen Xuan coldly said, "If not, how can I let go of Ning'er! She is our first daughter, you know I have always regarded her as a treasure!"

"If you really regarded her as a treasure, you shouldn't have pushed her out so easily now!" Mrs. Su gritted her teeth and said, "And still let her take the initiative to seduce the second son of an ordinary family! If this matter were to spread out, how would you ask Ning'er to behave? Even if it didn't get out, could she hold her head up when she married into the Gu family?!"

She took a deep breath and said, "A dynasty full of civil and military personnel, actually being overwhelmed by a mere counter-plot, and specializing in pointing to a tiny woman to make things happen? You guys are really something!"

Listening to his wife's pungent sarcasm, Shen Xuan's facial muscles twitched for a while, grimaced and said, "I have already promised Tai Shi in this matter, so you don't have to say anything more!" He said in a cold voice, "If you want to blame, you can only blame what you did not to betroth her out earlier! Now it's her fate to be like this!"

"I thought about how beautiful Xiu'er was when she left the court, but after she left the court, she was first forced by a few lowly fox charmers to suffer a lot of grievances, but fortunately, Empress Dowager Ji was a person of understanding....... I don't want Empress Dowager Ji to go, and this child was implicated by her husband and was abolished as a commoner, and Bibimbap is still living in the dowry house in the depths of the day! I'm not sure if you're a good person or a good person. Mrs. Su sobbed, "So the only daughter left in my lap, although not as good as I would like, I still want to keep her for two more years! I thought that you have always favored her so much, more than Feng'er and the others, and that she would not be wronged! As a result, for the sake of those bad things, you actually want your daughter to learn that unsavory thing to seduce men on her own initiative!"

She screamed, ''Have all of our Shen family's 'thorn hedges' died out! So many eight-foot men, claiming to be pillars of the country and full of experience, but at this time, they only use their brains on women! You can't do anything about Gu Xiaode without the beauty plan and the counter-plot? How can a mere son of a family leave the Six Valves of the Sea helpless? Are you the Six Valves of the Sea, or are you the Six Families of Straw Buns?"

"You give me shut up!" Shen Xuan angrily slapped down a few cases, sternly shouting, "Gu Xiaode knows that he is in a dangerous situation, and now he is eating and living in the Xuanjia guards, so it is difficult for ordinary people to approach him at all! Otherwise you think we don't want to kill him to save trouble?"

"Then we can't let Ning'er seduce Gu Yan!" Mrs. Su said angrily, "What is Ning'er's status? The first daughter of the Shen Clan! What do you think she is? Treating your own flesh and blood like a prostitute?"

Shen Xuan took a deep breath and said in a cold voice ''If Gu Yan was bad, why did you take the initiative to hint at his mother in the first place? Now although it is letting Ning'er take the initiative, but I will not let her lose her status too much! Ning'er is also my own flesh and blood, how could I not love her? Isn't that what I have to do? Besides, when a girl grows up, there's no such thing as not letting someone else in?"

"Promise that is also to be people come to the door to propose marriage in a dignified manner, and then go out of the pavilion in style, this is the promise she should have!" Mrs. Su sneered, "But what do you want her to do now? A lady of the house, taking the initiative to run to the Spring Grass Lake to seduce Gu Yan, what not too much of a loss of status! Do you think the Gu family is stupid? Even if you didn't know it at the time, afterward you took this matter to count Gu Xiaode, Gu Xiaode can he not understand can he not tell Gu Yan?!"

She spat out words like a knife, "Besides, since you know that Gu Xiaode's heart of loyalty to the king is so resolute, and prevented you from counting on him ...... How do you know that this Gu Yan went to live in Spring Grass Lake is not a trap? What if we lose our daughters in the event that we lose face instead of being able to pinch the Gu family's handles?"

Shen Xuan coldly said, "Since I let Ning'er go, of course I have a foolproof plan!"

"A foolproof plan!" Mrs. Su gritted her teeth and said, "Instigating your own daughter to put herself down to seduce a man, you've also come up with a foolproof plan? If you didn't know, you'd be a pimp in a brothel for years!"

"What a time for you to be such a nuisance!" Shen Xuan said angrily, "Since you're not willing to go talk to Ning'er, then call Ning'er over and I'll talk to her myself!"

"You know that Ning'er is the most filial to you, as long as you open your mouth, there is no way that silly child won't agree!" Mrs. Su couldn't help but bawl, "Poor me, I only have two daughters, but none of them had a good ending! If I had known that giving birth to them was going to cause them to suffer today, why did I ask them to come into this world in the first place? It would have been better to give them a dose of medicine when they were in the womb to save them from this storm, and now they are also less likely to commit this sin!"

Shen Xuan's face sank like iron, coldly said ''If the skin doesn't survive, the hair will attach to it? Although Xiu'er was relegated to concubine status with King Ji, isn't she still living a good life today? With her dowry and our secret care, is her life any worse than that of an ordinary rich family? As for Ning'er, if she marries into the Gu family, as long as our family's reputation doesn't decline, how dare the Gu family treat her badly? No wonder I asked you to worry about Ning's marriage, but you haven't decided on a family for her yet! Do you think any family can be as compassionate as Feng's? Or do you want to find a son-in-law who's not found on earth or in heaven?"

Speaking here, Shen Xuan sighed, exhausted, "Li child returned wounded, Feng child is still in Yanzhou guard and clean up, our male heir, sooner or later will have to go to the battlefield to sharpen, a knife and a gun to kill and defend my Western Liang Shen's glory and wealth. The girls of our family, born and raised in the rich and powerful, after they grow up, they do not need to go to the battlefield to sacrifice their lives, marriage, for the sake of the family, sacrifice a little, what should not be? The wealth and riches they enjoy today, which is not the merit of their ancestors? Besides, if that Gu Yan can get into your eyes, I don't think he'll be any worse. Even if you have tricked him, but after the marriage, isn't it better to take your time? The girls of our family are not to be taken lightly in the end!"

Mrs. Su raised her sleeve and wiped her face, smiled miserably and said ''Your words, take it to coax Ning'er is also just. How can you coax me? Gu Xiaode is the brother of Empress Gu, now the Crown Prince and Empress Gu have a mother's murder, once he ascends to the throne, the first to bear the brunt will certainly be the Hongzhou Gu clan! Not to mention that Shen Xun is still alive, in case the Crown Prince suspects that Gu Xiaode will support Shen Xun to take over the throne, to make a first move to Gu Xiaode to ...... just based on this Gu Xiaode before three times refused your request, when you get your hands on it, how can you let him off lightly? At that time, Gu Yan has all sorts of blood feuds with our family, how can we expect him to treat Ning'er well? The best he can do is to treat each other with respect, like ice!"

Shen Xuan stared not far away for a moment and faintly said, "Then what do you want? By letting us and Gu Xiaode stalemate, and then waiting for the saint to go crazy one day ...... dragging our clan of scholars to die with him?!"
