Sun Jiaolan glanced at her father, Mr. Sun, in surprise, then quickly regained her gaze and suppressed the restlessness in her heart.
She didn't expect that her father would also have such thoughts!
Although from what her father said, she probably didn't mean to overthrow the Li family, but she was also concerned about the position of the next head of the Xia family, and that was enough!
As long as she uses it well, her father will naturally become her biggest helper. As for the Li family, now she only relies on the Li family behind her to secure her position as the main wife.
She has already seen that Xia Zhihe has no patience with Mrs. Li. As long as she is careful in her subsequent actions, it will not be difficult to make Xia Zhihe completely dislike Mr. Li.
As long as Xia Zhihe's trust is gone, it will be much easier for him to do something. Coupled with his father's status, it may not be impossible to obtain the position of the principal wife.
As for Xia Hongzhang, since he was Xia Zhihe's only son, she got to know him well. Not only Xia Hongzhang, but also Xia Zhilu and the concubine whom she was never allowed to see. She had been asking a lot about him these days.
After getting to know Xia Hongzhang, her thoughts were the same as those of her father. Xia Hongzhang completely ruined Li's life. He was proficient in eating, drinking and playing, but he couldn't do anything in terms of knowledge and literature. However, he still felt that he was very capable. Loves to show off.
Sun Jiaolan sneered in her heart. Mrs. Li just doted on her only son. From now on, her son would be responsible for the Xia family.
Not only does she want the position of the future head of the Xia family, but she also wants the position of the royal wife!
However, Sun Jiaolan will not mention these thoughts to Mr. Sun for the time being.
"Father, please rest assured that my daughter will not disappoint her father." Sun Jiaolan said firmly.
"Okay! It would be best if this baby is a boy, but it doesn't matter if it's not. You are still young and can still give birth, but Mrs. Xia is already old." Mr. Sun hinted meaningfully to Sun Jiaolan.
How could Sun Jiaolan not understand what her father meant?
She immediately nodded in agreement, after all, this was also her goal.
Seeing Sun Jiaolan agree, Master Sun paused and suddenly spoke again: "Master Xia is young and promising, and there are many women who admire him, but not many can enter the Xia Mansion and get status. Madam, you are on tight guard, and it took a lot of effort for your father to send you to the Xia Mansion. After you enter the Xia Mansion, don’t imitate Madam Xia and make Mr. Xia unhappy. With your identity, other women can’t get past you, so there’s no need to worry too much.”
How could Sun Jiaolan not understand Master Sun's hint?
This is to tell her not to be as jealous as Mrs. Li. If Xia Zhihe wants to bring a woman into the house, let someone come in and not stop her, which will make Xia Zhihe unhappy.
She would not be as confused as Mrs. Li on this matter, not to mention what a romantic person Xia Zhihe was, how could she not know as a witness?
Although she had no concrete evidence, she found some clues. Coupled with her own experience, she did not believe that Xia Zhihe had no other woman outside.
But so what? In the end, he was the only one who was able to enter the mansion after so many years!
Xia Zhihe's favor is just a step for her to take herself a step further. As long as she can rise to the top, what will happen if she gives Xia Zhihe a room full of concubines?
She wouldn't be as confused as Mrs. Li!
"Father, don't worry. My daughter understands and will not be as jealous as Mrs. As a descendant of the family, with her father’s guidance and support, her daughter will not worry about other women entering the house.”
Master Sun saw that Sun Jiaolan could see the situation so clearly, his eyes were full of satisfaction, he nodded repeatedly, secretly thinking that his daughter really liked him the most.
"If Lan'er can think this way, dad will feel relieved. Don't worry about entering the Xia Mansion. Dad will definitely take care of it and let your mother prepare a generous dowry for you. You will never be wronged or looked down upon. .”
Another thing that Sun Jiaolan cares about is the dowry. If the dowry is too small, it will not only make it difficult for the Xia family to spread, it will even be despised by the servants in the house, which is the most troublesome.
But now that she has received Master Sun's consent, Sun Jiaolan is relieved. As for her aunt who is obedient to her father, she is not worried at all.
All the things on her mind were over, so Sun Jiaolan no longer stayed long, resigned and left the study, waiting for the news tomorrow to know the result.
Just after going to court the next day, Xia Zhihe did not go back to Xia Mansion directly, but went to the Li family with his father-in-law Li Ge.
The result of the private chat with Mr. Li Ge was just as Xia Zhihe expected. Mr. Li only frowned and showed his displeasure when he first heard the news. However, Xia Zhihe explained the benefits of having Sun Guerlain as his concubine. After that, Mr. Li Ge lost any objection and even talked with Xia Zhihe in detail about the benefits of bringing Lord Sun into the camp.
I'm afraid Mrs. Li never thought that she didn't know her father as well as her son-in-law, Xia Zhihe!
After all, Ms. Li has always only used her family's status to show off, and only takes blindly, but does not know how to give, let alone take the initiative to care about and understand the situation of her mother's family. How could she know about her father? What do you like and care about?
Xia Zhihe, who is also in the officialdom, has met Mr. Li Ge more times than Li's daughter in recent years. As a colleague and in the prince's camp, Xia Zhihe thinks that he has a certain understanding of his father-in-law.
Xia Zhihe knew clearly what Mr. Li Ge cared about and what he longed for. Just like himself, it was power! It's status! It is endless wealth!
He was very sure that Mr. Li Ge would not refuse to accept Sun Guerlain as his concubine!
So when Xia Zhihe left the Li family, with a proud and cheerful smile on his face, he still did not go back to the Xia family, but went directly to the Sun family.
Yesterday, he made an appointment with Mr. Sun. After he had a break with Mr. Li Ge today, he would come to Sun's house to discuss specific dates and matters with Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun knew that Sun Jiaolan was very likely to be pregnant. For the sake of the reputation of the family, he naturally hoped to get married as soon as possible.
This was exactly what Xia Zhihe wanted. After all, things would change later. If he carried Sun Jiaolan in earlier, the Sun family would be tied to him!
The two hit it off immediately, and immediately decided on the marriage and the process. The date was set on the first day of March, and there were only five or six days left. Although it was a hurry, it was just a concubine after all, and everything was kept simple, so this time was enough.
However, even if you just enter the house with the courtesy of a concubine, the banquet is indispensable, otherwise Mr. Sun's face will be disgraced. Xia Zhihe also felt that this matter was not publicized enough, so he and Mr. Li Ge discussed it and sat down completely through the banquet. The Sun family's camp was confirmed.
