Chapter 1385: Prince Li's Extra: Seeking an Arranged Marriage
Su Jinxiu couldn't believe her ears. She stared at Su Jing blankly for a long time before she stuttered and called out "Father".
Su Jing was too lazy to look at her, but just waved his hand and motioned her to leave.
"Father, why me? Ah Man and a little eunuch were not clear, but you didn't let her become a nun. You want me to become... a nun?"
Su Jing looked at her stubborn look and was very angry. He told himself again and again that this was his daughter, but this daughter made him more and more disappointed.
The daughter he tried hard to protect was so unbearable. He couldn't help but think of the mockery in Murong Kai's eyes.
He threw the evidence of Murong Kai's crime in front of Su Jinxiu.
Su Jinxiu didn't understand why. She lowered her head and couldn't help but look at it. The small calligraphy was neatly placed on the paper, but every word was heart-piercing.
Su Jinxiu was naturally clear about these things, but how did it end up on her father's desk?
"Father, it must be Ah Man. Ah Man framed me. She and that little eunuch were not clear. She was afraid of losing your favor, so she used this rumor to frame me. Yes, that's it. Father, you can't not trust your daughter. How could your daughter do such a thing?" Su Jinxiu cried as she spoke, looking like she had suffered a lot of grievances.
Su Jing never thought that at this point, Su Jinxiu could still frame Ah Man. If he trusted her, he would really be suspicious of Ah Man.
Fortunately, these things were sent by Murong Kai...
"This is not from Ah Man." Su Jing sighed and said in a deep voice.
"She must have found a way to send it to you, father, she and that little eunuch can... and the guards in the palace can also..."
In order to get rid of the crime, Su Jinxiu spared no effort to slander Ah Man, but she didn't know that her words made Su Jing's fatherly heart cold.
"Still quibbling?" Su Jing laughed, angry.
He always felt that he had neglected to discipline Su Jinxiu. Her nature was good, and he just needed to pay more attention to her teaching. But now it seemed that she was bad from the root.
"Father, I am not quibbling. I am telling the truth. It is really like this. How could my daughter do such a thing? My daughter..." Su Jinxiu heard the disappointment in Su Jing's words and explained anxiously, but the words of explanation were too thin in the face of these ironclad evidences.
"Since you just said that you want to become a monk, then become a monk. Your father has no other way. I hope that the Buddha can make you feel at peace."
After Su Jing finished speaking, he turned around painfully. His child was twisted into this state. The disappointment was real, and the heartache was even more real.
"Father, I don't want it, I don't want it. I am now in my prime. You said last time that you would choose a husband for me and let me get married. Are you going to send me to the temple now? You can't go back on your word, you..."
Su Jinxiu knew her father's temper. What he decided could not be changed, but she was unwilling. Why, the rumors about Ah Man and the little eunuch were flying everywhere, but her father didn't care, but wanted to care about her...
Before, she wanted to marry Murong Kai of the Great Zhou, but now, she dared not think about it. She just wanted to stay in the harem. Staying in the harem would have unlimited possibilities.
And asking her father to arrange a marriage was the only way for her to stay in the palace.
Su Jinxiu thought that she would find a way after staying. Every generation of the Great Zhou and Bei'an would marry to show the friendship between the two countries. As long as Ah Man was abolished, she would be the only choice.
Su Jing didn't know that Su Jinxiu had such a vicious thought when she begged for mercy from him.
In fact, Su Jing would rather send Su Jinxiu away, not to be involved in the court, not to be involved in party politics, and with her status as a princess, she would not suffer any grievances in the temple.
He even thought about choosing a good man for her and leaving a will before his death.
