Huo Mingzhu seemed to understand, and blurted out: "Retreat of the Pingyang Mansion's military power, and let Yun Shan become an unnamed Prince Consort, and not a general at the border? Although the title seems very high, in reality, it's just an empty shell? "

"Hai, that's right!" Old Lady Lin patted the back of her chair, looking more and more worried.

In his previous life, Huo Mingzhu did not think too much about these political matters. She thought that no matter how weak Feng'er was, she was still the late Empress's daughter and had become the royal family's son-in-law. Lin Yunchu's status should be even more respected, and he should be in a better position in the Pingyang Mansion. Thus, when Lin Yunchu came to ask about her marriage, she only let him decide it for himself.

In his previous life, his grandmother had never discussed these kinds of important matters with her, but this time, she actually told Huo Mingzhu everything without hiding anything. Huo Mingzhu was a little uneasy, maybe her grandmother was really worried to the extreme, which was why she was so worried.

"Patriarch, no matter how worried you are, the imperial edict cannot be disobeyed. Is there any way to prevent Yun Zai from becoming Prince Consort?" Huo Mingzhu spoke out the thoughts in her heart.

The Old Lady Lin nodded her head: "That's right, that's exactly what I'm worried about, if Yun Shan doesn't marry the imperial princess, there are only two ways. The first way is to let His Majesty think that Yun Shan's character is low, that before she gets married she would take a concubine, so how could a princess be willing to marry him again?"

"But if this is the case, His Majesty can sentence Yun Shan to death at any time. If his character is bad, how can he be trusted with military authority?" Huo Mingzhu rejected the proposal, thinking that it was not appropriate.

"In that case, we can only leave with a second method. Before His Majesty bestows the marriage, we must first marry Yun Shan." The Old Lady Lin said.

Huo Mingzhu frowned again, "The second method might not work either. If she knew that his majesty had arranged the marriage to marry Yun Shan, and that his majesty had heard of the news, she would probably blame the house of the Marquis for not putting him in their eyes, right? And which family's young miss dares to fight against the Royal Princess? "

The Old Lady Lin, on the other hand, disagreed, "That may not be so." When she was speaking, she looked at Huo Mingzhu, her eyes that looked similar to Huo Mingzhu's lit up with fire: "What if Yun Shan is betrothed to a child, and has a childhood sweetheart?"

Child marriage? Plum blossom?

Seeing her grandmother's eyes looking at him, no matter how slow Huo Mingzhu was, she understood. "Old Ancestor, you mean me?"

"Yes!" Old Lady Lin nodded her head in relief, pulled Huo Mingzhu along and sat in front of her, then smiled: "My son, you grew up together with Yun Shan, and your uncle is no different from your father. You don't even have a shred of scruples. The other grandmother didn't dare say that Yun Shan will definitely treat you wholeheartedly. If you two were to be married, even if you were to talk about the empress dowager, you will still not be able to convict Pingyang Mansion of your crimes. All these years, there have been many pairs of eyes watching you and you couldn't be wrong. "

"Old Ancestor, I …" Huo Mingzhu choked, and was unable to continue speaking. She never thought that one day, even her beloved grandmother would want to use her to resolve the crisis in Pingyang Mansion. Not anything else, but her marriage.

Because Pingyang Mansion needed her to marry Yun Shan and stabilize her power, she wanted to marry Yun Shan and Yun Shan. Regardless of whether or not she had any relationship with Yun Shan, it was only strange that Grandmother would tell her everything.

After experiencing the changes in his previous life, Huo Mingzhu had become increasingly more sensitive and suspicious. She had even gone to the extreme, regardless of whether it was her grandmother or uncle, they had all doted on her for ten years, and when her parents abandoned her, they had all taken her in.

She was a girl. Naturally, she should sacrifice herself for her family. Naturally, she shouldn't have thought about whether or not she also had love or belonging. Whether it was her parents or her mother, she was actually just a chess piece.

Huo Mingzhu's mind was in a mess. In the entire room, only she and her grandmother were left, but she couldn't hear anything. All she could hear was the frightening darkness and blood.

She even suspected that the memories from her previous life were only a dream, and now was only the beginning of reality.

Either, she would be obedient like how she had been in her previous life, and end up with a miserable ending, or she would not listen to anyone's words, and would end up with nothing to do with the Pingyang Mansion she wanted to protect?

How difficult it is to be a person, in the eyes of a grandmother, does she, Huo Mingzhu, have any status? Could she refuse the baby's grandmother's proposal? What are the consequences of rejection?!

Losing the support of her mother's clan made her a truly lonely and helpless person? Or could it be that, if she was willing to marry Yun Shan, she would never repeat the same mistake, and see the Pingyang Mansion's entire clan annihilated?

"A Jin? A Jin "

When Huo Mingzhu finally heard something, she turned her head and saw her grandmother looking at her, her eyes full of questions.

Seeing that she had finally responded, Old Lady Lin rebuked her: "Girl, what's wrong? When your grandmother spoke to you, you lost your mind. "

As if grabbing onto his last life-saving straw, Huo Mingzhu grabbed onto Old Lady Lin's hand and asked: "Old Ancestor, although marriage is a matter of parents deciding the matchmaker, I am also willing to give my all for Pingyang Mansion to repay uncle's and the Old Ancestor's kindness. But Old Ancestor, I am like a brother and sister to Yun Shan. If we are to get married, then we will be separated by a level in our hearts, and we will no longer be as close as we were in the past. Furthermore, what I said earlier to help the Pingyang Mansion spread Old Ancestor's knowledge, was truly frightening to me. "

She lowered her head, looking terrified.

"As long as there's a way, Grandmother will not make things difficult for you and Yun Shan." Old Lady Lin sighed, "Yesterday, your aunt went to State Protecting Temple to ask for a contract. She hoped that it would change the situation and allow Pingyang Mansion to get past Yun Shan's marriage."

In his previous life, Huo Mingzhu's character was not competitive, especially in front of his loved ones, he was extremely tolerant. But this time, she did not compromise, and instead suggested: "Old Ancestor, Yun Shan is still at the northwest border and has not yet returned to the empire. His Majesty's decree was also not given; Furthermore, the last time I heard my father say that Master Luo had asked my uncle and father at the banquet whether I was engaged to Yun Shan, both uncle and father had denied it and said it in front of several ministers in the hall. "

"Is there such a thing?" Old Lady Lin was extremely surprised.

"You know the man my father was, there are some things he wouldn't say. I suspect that it was precisely because the Duke of Camel had mentioned it that my father and uncle denied it, which was why so many young mistresses wanted to marry into the house of the Marquis, and that His Majesty wanted to marry the princess off as well. If the Old Ancestor were to say that I have been married to Yun Shan since childhood, it would not just be embarrassing for my uncle and father, but might also punish the crime of bullying the monarch. The Old Ancestor would have to think twice before acting! "

"This …" Old Lady Lin muttered to herself, "If there is such a thing, then your uncle is truly confused! "Sigh!"
