This caused Su Yongxu to develop a cowardly and timid personality since she was a child. Especially after Su's mother contracted a stubborn illness and died of depression when Su Yongxu was twelve years old, her personality became even more timid and fearful.
In the Shengguo court, the Su family supported the third prince Cang Xiyao, and they had never dealt with the newly crowned emperor Cang Xilin.
Mu Yuntian's father and the current Empress Dowager Mu and Cang Xilin's mother are siblings.
Mu Yuntian's father also married the late emperor's sister, the eldest princess Anping.
Therefore, Mu Yuntian can also be regarded as Cang Xilin's cousin.
As the only king with a different surname, Qingyang King Mu Yuntian and Cang Xilin have a close personal relationship.
Of course, Mu Yuntian is not only relying on his status as a royal relative, but his own abilities are also quite praised by people.
During these years in charge of the Criminal Department, he hated evil and enforced the law strictly, and was known as the "Iron-faced Prince".
Originally, the Su family and the Qingyang Prince's Palace were each their own masters, so the marriage was a bit of a draw-in.
But Cang Xilin agreed with a smile and was granted this "God-given marriage".
The reason is simple. Mu Yuntian proposes marriage, but the groom is not him, but his younger brother Mu Yunfei, who has been frail and sick since childhood and has been on the sickbed.
Mu Yuntian's parents passed away one after another when he was very young, leaving only two sons and one daughter. Mu Yunfei was not in good health, so Mu Yuntian naturally loved him very much.
It is said that Mu Yunfei was seriously ill in bed at the time, and the marriage was just for happiness.
The Su family also has "only" one daughter, Su Yongxin, who is sixteen years old this year. She is beautiful and well-read poetry.
With such a charming daughter, the Su family naturally did not want her to marry a medicine jar, but under the imperial decree, she had to marry her, so they resorted to the trick "Li Dai Tao Jian".
In a panic, she recognized Su Yongxu as the "second lady" and wanted to marry her to the Qingyang Palace as the second princess.
When he heard that Su Yongxu was not the eldest lady of the Su family, but just a temporary "second lady of the Su family", and that she was the child of a brothel woman, Mu Yuntian became furious.
When the news reached the palace, Cang Xilin was also unhappy.
Su Chaoying argued that the imperial edict only stated that Miss Su's name was not specified.
Since Su Yongxu was indeed his biological daughter, and there was nothing wrong with her, Mu Yuntian could only swallow his breath and choose a good opportunity to let Su Yongxu pass.
