Chapter 1589: The old mans ambition (1/2)
Chapter 1589 The ambition of the old man
Shao Yin's reputation was partly earned by herself, but partly by the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion.
As for the reason, it is naturally for the future of Houfu.
"The old marquis back then was actually an ambitious person. He wanted to carry forward the marquis' mansion, but he soon discovered that his two sons were mediocre. In the future, the Marquis of Huaiyin will be handed over to them, and they will be able to maintain the past. The scenery is already pretty good.”
So the old Hou Ye desperately wanted to have another son, an heir capable of supporting the Hou Mansion, for the Hou Mansion.
Unfortunately, he was injured back then, and apart from his two direct sons and a cowardly son who was raised to be timid, he could no longer have a son.
The son couldn't count on it, and the old man quickly set his eyes on his daughter.
But Shao Yin is a daughter, but she is better than a son. She is proficient in everything, not to mention the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry, and she is beautiful.
Such a daughter, as long as she marries a good and powerful husband, will she still worry that there will be no one to protect her in the Marquis' Mansion in the future?
The old marquis began to screen candidates for son-in-law, and the one who was in the spotlight was the first emperor who loved the three princes the most.
He began to look for opportunities to contact the third prince, and planned to marry Shao Yin to the third prince to become the prince's concubine. He felt that with the love of the first emperor for the third prince, he was very likely to inherit the throne in the future.
This matter was quickly noticed by Shao Yin.
Shao Yin didn't want to marry into the royal family at all, let alone become a **** in his father's hands, so naturally he was firmly opposed.
At this time, Gu Jing from the Gu family used to join in the fun. He didn't mention his marriage, and told the old man that he and Shao Yin were in love.
Although the old marquis didn't believe it, the idea of marrying Shao Yin to the third prince was even more serious. He said that he would choose a son-in-law for Shao Yin, but he actually conveyed a message to the third prince in disguise.
At that time, the third prince also had a good impression of Shao Yin, but his mother-in-law wanted him to marry a concubine who would be more helpful to him.
