Cornel took a breath and deliberately lowered her voice and said:
"Miss, you mean that Miss Xia Ming wants to compete for that position? If she is on the wrong team, won't it affect the entire Sheng family?"
Midsummer Cicada smiled sarcastically and said:
"That's why she wanted to snatch my opportunity to participate in the draft, and then use the connections left by my mother to find a good backer for herself."
After hearing this, Juyu felt that her anger was gone. She gritted her teeth and said:
"Miss, these mother and daughter are simply bullying others, you can't agree!"
"What's the point if I don't agree? As long as my father agrees, it will be done. Moreover, my marriage will ultimately need to be decided by the Hou family. They are not afraid that I will not compromise."
After all, in this matter in her previous life, she finally compromised under the coercion and inducement of her father and stepmother. A sixteen-year-old girl could not resist the temptation after all.
Cornus officinalis said anxiously:
"Miss, please think of a way. We can't suffer this loss in vain."
Zhuyu is very loyal to Shengxia Cicada. In her previous life, she was buried in a sea of fire in order to fake her own death for her master. She is one of the rare people that Shengxia Cicada can trust, so she feels safe to tell Zhuyu some things.
"Cortex, come here and go do a few things."
"Yes, Miss."
When Juyu saw that her young lady was successful, she immediately put her ear towards her. After a while, she was a little confused, but she still nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely take care of it for you."
"Go ahead! Let Qingping serve me."
Juyu nodded, Fu Shen bowed and exited the room.
After a while, a round-faced girl wearing a cyan maid uniform entered the room, bowed respectfully to Xia Chan and said:
"Miss, the steward at Laifu next to the Marquis asked you to go to the front yard and said that the Marquis wants to see you."
"I understand. We have already packed everything. Please ask Luwan to come with me to see the Marquis."
"Yes, Miss."
Shengxia Chan took a deep breath, whispered a few words to the two maids, and took them to see Marquis Yongxin.
Yongxin Hou Sheng Shichang was a man with little achievements. He became a Hou Ye because of the support of his ancestors. He himself was not good at literature and martial arts, so he spent a lot of time on playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting and romance.
He married Xia Chan's mother before, and she took good care of the Hou Mansion. A year after Xia Chan's mother passed away, Yongxin Hou remarried Xia Ming's mother. Anyway, he was a man who would not let himself suffer. , although there are not many concubines in the family, they are all as beautiful as flowers, allowing him to enjoy the blessings of everyone.
In order to make his good life last longer, he was persuaded by Xia Ming's mother to try to become a dragon.
Sheng Xia Chan had already smoothed out her thoughts on the way to Yong'an Hall, so when she saw Marquis Yongxin, she had a standard lady's smile on her face, and her etiquette was flawless.
"Xia Chan has met her father. Does the father call his daughter here for something important?"
Marquis Yongxin was very satisfied with his eldest daughter's etiquette and said with a smile:
"Chan'er doesn't need to be polite, just sit down and talk."
"Yes, Father."
Sheng Xia Chan sat at the bottom of the table obediently, but she was very sure that the current Mrs. Hou and Sheng Xia Ming were standing in the back hall and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Chan'er, the decree for the draft will be issued in three days, you"
Midsummer Cicada didn't wait for Marquis Yongxin to finish speaking, and then said:
"Father, don't worry, my daughter will never cause trouble to the Hou Mansion. Mother has taken care of it earlier and will show me a more ordinary marriage."
Marquis Yongxin smiled awkwardly and said:
"Chan'er, that's not what I meant."
"Then what does father mean?" Shengxia Chan looked at Yongxinhou with her bright eyes, waiting for him to speak.
Marquis Yongxin coughed slightly before saying:
"Chan'er, I'm afraid your marriage may have changed, and my father is ready to take a chance."
Midsummer Cicada pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but did not answer.
Marquis Yongxin could only bite the bullet and said:
"Chan'er, I understand your temperament. You are not suitable for living in the palace at all. As a father, I don't want you to be trapped in the palace all your life. So after thinking about it, I am ready to send Xia Ming into the palace. At least her mother's family I have some help.”
Marquis Yongxin's words were silenced by the tears shed by the midsummer cicada.
"Father, I have lost my mother. I have never caused you any trouble in these years. Faced with Mrs. Hou's aggressiveness, I have retreated again and again. Now you have even asked me to get out of the marriage my mother has arranged for me. I still Let my mother go!”
After saying that, he covered his face and ran out of Yong'an Hall crying.
"Miss! Miss! Slow down"

"Miss, be careful, there is a lake in front of you"
Qingping and Luwan had been told by their young lady a long time ago, so when they saw the young lady hiding her face and running out, they immediately raised their voices to attract the attention of the stewards and servants in the mansion, and chased after Xia Chan while holding up their skirts.
The midsummer cicada ran all the way to the landscape lake in Fuzhong and shouted:
"Mother, my daughter is here to accompany you!"
Then he jumped in with a "pop" sound.
"No! The eldest lady threw herself into the lake!"
"Someone come quickly! Save the lady!"
It immediately alarmed the entire master and servants of the Hou Mansion.
Ripple held the crystal ball in her hand and watched the Midsummer Cicada making a fuss in the dream she had constructed, with a smile flashing in her eyes.
If it were her, she wouldn't choose to do this, but Sheng Xia Chan was also aggrieved and could vent her resentment by making a scene, so she didn't stop her, and even added fuel to the fire, letting the old man in the back house of Yongxinhou Mansion Feng Jun was also alarmed.
Marquis Yongxin was shocked by the fuss made by his always obedient eldest daughter. It took him a while to come to his senses, and he immediately ordered his wife to go down to the lake to rescue people, while he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
Mrs. Hou gritted her teeth angrily and cursed secretly:
"I really underestimated this bitch to do this!"
Sheng Xia Ming on the side said with a cold face:
"Mother, what if she dies?"
"It would be better to die. I just want to send you to the palace for the draft. I'm afraid that she won't die. Even if she can't enter the palace, she won't let you get what you want. She may even hinder you. That would be a bad thing."

Mrs. Hou sees things more clearly.
"Mother, please think of a way. I want to marry the eldest prince. How can the son of a minister have a higher status than a prince!"
"Don't worry, my son, I will make her relax. I will definitely not send her to the palace. Then her marriage will be in my hands. I will use this to talk to her. If she is smart, she will know How to choose.”
Shengxia Cicada also had a purpose for making such a fuss. In addition to venting her anger, she also wanted to alarm the grandmother in the backyard. Although the other party may not turn to her, she would comfort her for the sake of the stability of Yongxinhou Mansion, so that she could negotiate. chips.
Fortunately, although her mother left, she still left some capable assistants for her, otherwise she would be trapped in this small backyard and really couldn't do anything.
After Shengxia Chan was rescued by her mother-in-law, she pretended to be unconscious. Both Yongxinhou and Madam Hou were called to the backyard to answer questions. Qingping and Luwan stayed by her side.
Sheng Xia Ming burst into Sheng Xia Chan's boudoir with an angry look on her face, pushed Qingping away and went to pull Sheng Xia Chan's arm who was lying on the bed.
Shengxia Cicada suddenly opened her eyes and retracted her arm, causing Shengxia Ming to stumble and lose her balance. Then she turned sideways and threw the person to the ground, and began to slap him from left to right. (End of chapter)
