Of course, Yan Wu sided with his mother.
Moreover, Su Xiaoling would rather fall than be supported by him just now. She seemed to look down on him, which made Yan Wu very unhappy. Therefore, after they got married, he still had to let his mother teach Su Xiaoling the rules.
He wanted to let her know that women should prioritize men. He was her heaven, so she should listen to him for everything. Her actions of avoiding him today must not happen again. She should be proud of receiving his love.
Madam Zhang looked at Yan Wu and said with a smile, “It’s her good fortune that my son likes her. Only you can choose her, how can she be picky with you!”
Madam Zhang threw out a silk handkerchief and unfolded it. She waved it in front of Yan Wu and said with a smile, “Son, keep it well. This is a token from Su Xiaoling. Let’s go home and choose a good day before going to propose marriage. Su Xiaoling can only marry you.”
She had already obtained Su Xiaoling’s personal belongings. Even if Su Xiaoling did not want to marry her son, she could forget about getting married in the future.
Would Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang let their daughter live alone for the rest of her life? Of course not. If her reputation was ruined, Su Xiaoling could only marry the Yan family.
Madam Zhang smiled.
Yan Wu happily took the handkerchief. He looked at it and saw that the embroidery orchid had the word ‘Ling’. He immediately put it away and said to Madam Zhang with a smile, “Mother, I think Su Xiaoling’s embroidery skills are not bad. In the future, I’ll let her make your clothes for you. Whatever you want, just let her do it.”
Madam Zhang nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, I think so too.”
With just one look, she felt that Su Xiaoling’s embroidery skills were not bad. What Yan Wu said was what she thought.
Looking at her sisters beside her, Madam Zhang smiled and said, “Second Sister, Third Sister, Fifth Sister, thank you for your help. If this matter succeeds, when Su Chong and Su Hua become officials in the future, I’ll also get them to find a good job for their nephews that can easily earn money.”
Madam Zhang’s three sisters smiled and nodded in agreement.
“Big sis, let’s go home after offering incense. If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know. We sisters will be here anytime.”
In any case, Madam Zhao and Su Xiaoling had already left. The few of them thought about it and prayed for good luck. There was no need to eat. Vegetarian food costs a few copper coins. If they had the money, they might as well buy some meat buns to eat.
To spend money but not smell the fragrance of meat. That was terrible.
Madam Zhang nodded when she heard this, so after the few of them lit incense, they also returned. On the way back, they began to discuss the date. In the end, they decided that the 18th of January was a good day and agreed to go and propose marriage together.

At this moment, Madam Zhao and Su Xiaoling had already walked far away and the temple could no longer be seen.
Madam Zhao sighed and apologized to Su Xiaoling guiltily. She said, “Xiaoling, I’m sorry for making you suffer.”
Thinking of what had happened today, Madam Zhao still felt terrible.
When she first met Madam Zhang, she did not realize that she was such a person.
They had already agreed, but who knew that she would do this?
She would definitely not let Su Xiaoling get married to such a family.
Su Xiaoling smiled and shook her head. “Mother, it’s fine. It’s not your fault. You just didn’t know before.”
Of course, Su Xiaoling would not blame Madam Zhao because of this. She knew that Madam Zhao doted on her and would not choose such a family for her.
Madam Zhao did not even know that this family would be like this, so how could she blame her? Madam Zhao was just a mother who wanted the best for her daughter.
Madam Zhao sighed. Her little girl was always so sensible that her heart ached.
When they returned home, Madam Zhao asked Su Xiaolu to treat Su Xiaoling’s wound while she went out to the shop.
Su Xiaolu looked at the graze on Su Xiaoling’s palm and asked with concern, “Sis, how did this happen?”
Why did such a thing happen when they just went to meet someone?
Su Xiaolu regretted leaving early. She should have watched more.
Su Xiaoling smiled gently and said, “I’m fine. I accidentally fell.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Su Xiaoling. She was gentle and sensible. Her sister had always kept her thoughts to herself.
Thinking of Madam Zhao’s worried expression just now, Su Xiaolu felt that there should be nothing happy about this meeting. Su Xiaolu treated Su Xiaoling’s wound.
She pulled Su Xiaoling’s hand and pouted. “Sister, can’t you tell me?”
Su Xiaolu looked at Su Xiaoling with teary eyes.
They were the closest sisters, and they could always trust each other. She hoped that Su Xiaoling would understand this.
Instead of keeping everything to herself, she really didn’t need to be so sensible.
As Su Xiaolu thought about this, tears welled up in her eyes. She blinked and was about to cry.
Su Xiaoling quickly wiped Su Xiaolu’s tears and said anxiously, “Xiaolu, don’t cry, don’t cry. I’ll tell you.”
Su Xiaolu took the opportunity to hug Su Xiaoling’s elbow. She leaned her head on Su Xiaoling’s shoulder and sobbed, “Then you’re not allowed to hide it from me.”
She blinked. From an angle that Su Xiaoling could not see, there was a sly smile in her eyes. She did not look like she was about to cry.
Su Xiaoling sighed. “Actually, it’s nothing serious. You’re still too young. You don’t need to know these things so early, but there’s no harm in telling you.”
Su Xiaoling gently told Su Xiaolu what had happened today.
In the end, Madam Zhao took her away angrily.
No matter what, it was impossible for Madam Zhao to agree. That was enough.
Su Xiaolu frowned. If only she hadn’t left.
Su Xiaolu leaned on Su Xiaoling’s shoulder and gently snuggled against her. “Sister, what kind of man do you like?”
Su Xiaoling paused before answering melancholically, “I don’t know either.”
“Sis, what do you think of Zhou Heng?”
Su Xiaolu suddenly asked.
Su Xiaoling was shocked. For a moment, her heart was a mess. In order not to let Su Xiaolu notice anything amiss, Su Xiaoling pretended to be calm and replied, “Little Brother Heng is very good. I’ve always treated him as a younger brother.”
Su Xiaoling did not deliberately avoid it or say anything else. She just answered Su Xiaolu’s question calmly.
Su Xiaolu smiled. “I think he’s quite good too.”
If not for Su Xiaoling’s suddenly beating heart, Su Xiaolu would have believed Su Xiaoling’s words.
Su Xiaoling liked Zhou Heng. Her uncontrollable heartbeat could not be faked.
Zhou Heng also secretly liked Su Xiaoling. This two-way love made Su Xiaolu feel that it was too sweet.
If Zhou Heng was not from the royal family, she would definitely try her best to matchmake them. After all, it was better than meeting someone she had never known. How could it be better than growing up together? Moreover, they liked each other. No one was more suitable than such a childhood sweetheart.
However, Zhou Heng was from the royal family. He still had to return to the capital and fight for the throne. Su Xiaolu was worried.
“Xiaolu, will you like Little Brother Heng?”
Su Xiaoling suddenly asked.
