Chapter 9 Communication
Seeing her daughter's seriousness, Madam Yu quickly replied earnestly, "Alright, Mother understands! Whatever you say, Mother promises not to make a fuss!"
Zisu lowered her voice: "Mother, listen to me, if we want to protect the little brother in your belly, we have to cut off the source of the problem!"
Yu: "How can we address the root cause?"
Zisu: "It's because the Emperor has taken back the title of Marquis! Once the title is taken back, your uncle's family and that old lady will have no chance. Even if they kill you and your brother, they won't get the title. In that case, would they still risk so much to commit murder?"
Madam Yu's eyes widened: "Impossible! Unless your uncle himself submits a memorial to the Emperor requesting the recall, the possibility of it being recalled is extremely small!"
Zisu: "My uncle's mother was a secondary wife, and she was promoted from a concubine to the principal wife. Logically speaking, my uncle's title as the eldest son of the legitimate wife is not legitimate! If someone raises this issue, the Emperor may revoke the title!"
Lady Yu said, "But we are women, and we cannot go to the palace to see His Majesty. How can we ask His Majesty to take back our titles?"
Zisu: "Mother, I went to see the heir of the Prince of Rong'an, and he helped resolve this issue. Tomorrow morning, His Majesty will send an envoy to the manor to read the decree, at which time the Marquis's title will be revoked!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Yu was greatly alarmed: "Zisu, how could you take the initiative to go to the heir of the Rong'an Prince's Mansion? You'll be looked down upon for that. What's more, you even took the initiative to revoke the title. That's not something a virtuous and gentle young lady should do. In the future, once you enter the Prince's Mansion, you'll be inferior to others and be controlled by them at every turn!"
Zisu: "Mother, the reward I gave for asking the Prince of Rong'an for help was to break off the engagement with him. If the angel comes tomorrow morning, we must go to Shili Xiang at noon to exchange betrothal tokens with him!"
Madam Yu was terrified: "What? How dare you! You've ruined such a perfectly good marriage! You're going to kill your mother with anger! How could you make such a big decision on your own? You unfilial brat!"
As she spoke, Yu raised her right hand high, as if to slap her a few times.
Zisu dodged her mother's slap and said angrily, "Mother, what do you mean by a good marriage? Now that Father is gone, how can anyone look at a family like ours? You don't know how happy the young master was when I mentioned breaking off the engagement. He kept urging me to return the betrothal gifts. Moreover, the matter of taking back the title of Marquis must be handled by Prince Rong'an."
If Prince Rong'an didn't agree, why would he be so proactive and arrange it in such a short time? It's conceivable that if the other party weren't concerned about their reputation, they would have come to break off the engagement long ago after news of their father's death! Even now, the young master says to keep it quiet for now and wait for a more suitable time!
Madam Yu was still trembling with anger: "That's right, their family cares about their reputation. If we don't bring it up ourselves, they'll be too embarrassed to break off the engagement. That way, when you turn fifteen, you can still marry into the Prince's mansion! Oh my, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Zisu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Mother! Father is gone, and I am no longer the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changning. Besides, Xiao Fan already has a childhood sweetheart cousin. If I insist on marrying into the Prince's mansion, it's not just a dead end, but I definitely won't have a good life! Even if I have the chance to give birth to a child or two, I don't know if they will grow up. I don't want to live a life without any hope or happiness! If you still care about me and still consider me your daughter, then don't act like this!"
Sigh, dealing with a mother like this, Zisu felt utterly overwhelmed.
