Mr. Xu was stunned: "What, do you really want to marry that foreigner you have only met once or twice?"
He forced Silver Fox to stay in order to leave an escape route for his daughter so that he could discuss matters with her.
But he didn't really want his daughter to marry a merchant, especially one who was related to Dongchang.
Although Ming Yuanlang wrote a letter, he said in a subtle way that Dongchang told them not to worry. With Concubine Ming here, the governor would not be a problem for them to worry about.
But, how could he let his daughter marry an ignorant businessman?
Maybe the money belongs to Cang Qiao and has nothing to do with Yinhu. Yinhu is just a spy.
"I will discuss it with Yin Hu... we will get engaged first, let the news out, and dispel the prince's thoughts, and then cancel the engagement later."
Xu Xiuyi thought for a while and said.
Mr. Xu touched his beard and frowned slightly: "But... Yinhu is a businessman. It doesn't matter if he is a man, but I'm afraid it will harm your reputation."
What's more, Yin Hu is just a businessman, a scholar, peasant, industrialist, and merchant. Businessmen are the richest, but have the lowest status.
The only daughter-in-law of the Dali Temple Minister was engaged to a businessman, and in full view of the public, Yinhu had an intimate act with her daughter in order to save her.
Breaking off the engagement would have a great impact on Xu Xiuyi's reputation.
To put it bluntly, let alone marrying her daughter into a wealthy family, even an ordinary scholar from a clear family would not be willing to marry her.
Either marry far away from home, or you can only twist your hair and become a monk...
Thinking of this, Mr. Xu couldn't help but feel his heart twisting, because a good daughter of his had been harmed like this!
"Nanny-that damn prince is really a bastard just like his father!!"
The more Mr. Xu thought about it, the more he became distressed. He covered his face with his sleeves, couldn't help but cursed, and almost cried.
Xu Xiuyi: "Father...be careful what you say."
Her father was about to cry again. Well, her father, don't look at the normally cold, stern and strict Minister of Dali Temple who is feared by everyone and is like a god in resolving cases.
Who would have thought that in private, she would hold her mother in tears after being wronged in the court... She's so cute.
The whole family only saw her mother cry when her father cried. Oh, no, there was one time when she was playing at her mother's house and got under the bed when she was a child.
As a result, she saw her father coming back from the next morning, hugging her mother's waist, crying and scolding his colleagues... shameless and bullying. He wore night clothes in the middle of the night and secretly attacked people with a sword.
From then on... he overturned the image of a dignified and aloof scholar in my father's heart.
She took a breath: "Dad, it really doesn't matter to me. As long as you are safe, you can protect me for the rest of my life."
In fact, she really thought it didn't matter, because she didn't want to get married in the first place.
Especially after seeing the prince's face, he didn't want to get married anymore.
In this world, men are either noble or lowly, it's nothing more than that. Men dote on women a lot, but this kind of doting is too frivolous.
There is no other man in the world who can respect his mother.
But after she was given a hairpin, the aristocratic families who wanted to marry her had to cross the threshold.
Therefore, in order to save her, Silver Fox did those shocking things to the world, although she felt uncomfortable all over.
But when she thought that she could take this opportunity to remove herself from the aristocratic family's reputation as "an excellent future matron" and "an excellent daughter-in-law", she felt that it would be the best thing.
Xu Xiuyi's fingertips unconsciously touched her lips. Why was that silver-eyed fox blowing so hard? It was really...
After all, Xu Xiuyi was a girl who had never had any contact with a man. She couldn't help but blush. She quickly lowered her head and squeezed the cup in her hand tightly.
Mr. Xu saw his daughter's hands trembling slightly, thinking that his little girl was suffering, and felt even more distressed.
"Nanny, don't be afraid. The daughter of my Xu family is the best. After this incident, your father will find a wife for you. As long as your parents and your brothers are together, no one can bully you!"
Master Xu patted his daughter on the shoulder and made up his mind.
So what if he has to raise a daughter for the rest of his life! He can afford it!
At first, the eldest son was reluctant to let his younger sister get married and mentioned the matter of getting a new wife, but he got scolded. Now that he thinks about it, he still has to come up with a charter to keep his daughter at home for the rest of his life!
Xu Xiuyi was speechless for a moment. What should she do if her father always wants to give her a man?
She put down the cup of ginger tea and rubbed her eyebrows: "Dad, this matter is still far away. Let's settle the marriage between Yinhu and me first. I'm afraid he may not agree to be engaged to me."
Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment, and his brows turned cold: "That's not up to him. Even if he is from Dongchang, there are many ways for a father to do it."
Xu Xiuyi was silent. Of course she believed that her father's methods were powerful.
