Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 703 If this is the case, it will make me feel that I was a joke since I was born.

Cheng Shaoshang said without any fluctuation in his tone:

"Ever since my mother returned home, I have known that my mother is very dissatisfied with my daughter and wants to teach me many principles and rules."

"And these days, I listened to the training in Changqiu Palace and learned many rules and principles, but none of these rules meant disobedience."

Xiao Yuanyi immediately stood up angrily:
"presumptuous."

Cheng Shi started to smooth things over again, first letting Xiao Yuanyi calm down, and then walked to Cheng Shaoshang:

"Niao Niao, you can't hurt your mother's heart like this. Your mother has made it clear to you before that how dangerous the Tian family is, and the dangers around the Fourth Prince are even more unpredictable."

"Over the years, countless members of the aristocratic families have mentioned to His Majesty that they want to marry the Fourth Prince, but nothing has come of it. Guess why?"

Seeing Cheng Shaoshang raise his head with a slightly confused expression, he continued:
"Ever since the Holy One pacified the world and established the new dynasty, he has been balancing the forces within the dynasty. On the one hand, he is secretly supporting the forces of poor families, and on the other hand, he is suppressing the forces of noble families."

"The reason why your father and I were granted the title of marquis is not only because of our military exploits on the battlefield, but more importantly because of the Holy Emperor's support for us generals and civil servants from poor families."

"I once told you that the Holy One broke the aristocratic family's tradition of inheriting honors, brought out the talents of the poor disciples, and set the rule that all members of the same family cannot become officials. This is to secretly suppress the power of the noble families."

"Back then, the Holy One wanted to use Ling Buyi's marriage with Princess Yuchang to appease the emotions of the heroes of the aristocratic families in the court."

"The reason why King Yong and his son rebelled previously was not only because of their own lack of support, but also because they noticed the changing situation in the court and did not want to continue to sit back and wait for death, so they decided to give it a go."

"Nowadays, the relationship between the Holy Emperor and the noble families has dropped to a freezing point, but these four princes are able to influence the situation."

"From Hua County to single-handedly quelling Fan Chang's rebellion, to single-handedly overthrowing the years-long rebellion plan of King Yong and his son."

"Therefore, in the eyes of those heroes of the family, as long as they win over the fourth prince, they will not only be able to prosper the family for a long time, but they may also be able to see and touch it even if they live forever."

He frowned:
"That's why your mother and I are so opposed to your engagement with the Fourth Prince. Your Majesty's move is not only to roast me, the Cheng family, on the fire, but also to continue to suppress the children of the noble families and support the forces of the poor. .”

"The most important thing is that those aristocratic families will never give up, and the Holy Spirit's suppression of them will definitely not stop in the future."

"Niao Niao, my parents don't want you to fall into this kind of whirlpool that could endanger your life if you are not careful, so they try their best to provoke the Holy One to divorce you."

After Cheng Shi finished speaking, Xiao Yuanyi said coldly:

"You don't even know how deep the water in Tianjia is, so you just talk about marriage. You deserve to suffer in the future."

Cheng Shi sat directly next to Cheng Shaoshang and said:

"It is precisely for this unexplainable underlying reason that we finally refused to get married."

He said earnestly:
"Niao Niao, maybe you think my father and mother's words are harsh, but we are indeed doing it for your own good."

Xiao Yuanyi also said:
"Niao Niao, the dangers of the Tian family are just one of them. What worries me and your father even more is the fourth prince."

"He is definitely not as gentle, generous, kind and courteous as he appears. Let's just talk about the old princess of Ruyang. She is a being who even the Holy Emperor must show courtesy to, but he has no scruples and treats her without any mercy. "

"The same goes for treating sisters. That's really cruel."

"There are also thousands of rebels in Hua County. He just let them kill themselves without blinking an eyelid. His character is far harder than you might imagine."

"But you are also so stubborn. Can two such stubborn people get married?"

"If you have any disputes in the future, who will give in? Your father and I can't protect you."

Cheng Shaoshang’s eyebrows soothed:
"Old Princess Ruyang is disrespectful to her. What's wrong with punishing her? Ziyan was cruel to his sisters, but he never killed them. The Holy Father didn't say anything, so why should my mother say anything?" "Also. If there are rebels outside Hua County, they should die, and if it were me, I would not show mercy."

"As for disputes, I have known him for more than three years. He has always followed me in everything and never had any disputes. On the contrary, after my mother came home, she did not like me in everything, so we often had disputes. "

"Furthermore, father and mother, does my daughter have any other choices today?"

Suddenly, both of them were silent,

There was a hint of sadness in Cheng Shaoshang's eyes, and he said:
"Today, my mother belittled me in front of everyone. Do you know what the look on the face of the girl who usually laughs at my vulgarity?"

"My mother wants to reject Ziyan, this troublesome son-in-law. She wants to reduce me to dust and reduce me to nothing."

"But I also have self-respect and pride, and I also want to hold my head high and be a good person. What my mother said means that I will never be able to hold my head high and be a good person again."

She looked at Xiao Yuanyi intently:

"Mom, let me ask you, if the person whom the Holy Spirit granted marriage to today was my cousin, would you still humiliate her in front of everyone like you did today?"

Xiao Yuanyi was speechless when asked:

"you"

After a while, she stood up and walked to Cheng Shaoshang and said:
"If it's Shusheng, I don't need to worry about it at all."

When Cheng Shi saw that the two women were starting again, he stood up immediately:
"Oh, why are we getting involved again?"

Then, he said with relief:

"Niao Niao, your mother didn't mean to belittle you, but if she didn't say this, how could she convince the Holy One? Even if my father and mother's words were inappropriate and hurt you, they are still excusable."

Cheng Shaoshang looked serious:
"My daughter has thought about it seriously. I can't change my temper. Since my mother doesn't like me, I will find someone who I like and who also likes me."

Xiao Yuanyi frowned:
"Do you know that the world is difficult, and if a girl marries the wrong man, she will be unlucky throughout her life."

Cheng Shaoshang replied calmly:
"Marrying the wrong person is a life-long regret, and it is also my own misfortune. Moreover, I don't think I married the wrong person."

"My mother knows that the two or three years before you returned home were many times more comfortable than the days after you returned home. So the more I stay in this home, the more uncomfortable I feel."

"Also, if I, like my father and mother, choose to refuse marriage today, I will be disobeying the decree and will definitely suffer disaster for the whole family."

There was a hint of self-deprecation in her tone:
"You have never taught me since I was a child. I used to have resentment in my heart, but now I understand. I have never been unfilial to you. Therefore, no one of us owes anyone anything."

"I don't want my father to lose his official position because of me, and I don't want the glory of the Cheng family that my father and mother earned by abandoning me back then to be ruined in my hands."

"If this is the case, it will make me feel that I was a joke since I was born."

After hearing this, the two people's faces were full of unspeakable expressions, and they couldn't help but glance aside.

It wasn't until Cheng Shaoshang kowtowed that he looked at her with a moved expression.

"Father and mother, this marriage was decided by my daughter herself. She has no regrets. No matter what the future holds, she will bear it alone and will never bring harm to the family."

"I am also proud that with my strength, even if we are in any danger, I can not only protect myself, but also protect my whole family."
