Chapter 1974 The Regent Princess is about to faint again
When my uncle walked out of the restaurant, his steps were unsteady.
The cold night wind dissipated most of the drunkenness and my brain gradually returned to normal functioning.
When I recalled what happened today from beginning to end, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
I finally realized that I was being plotted against today.
After standing there for a long time, he shook his head and continued walking back.
"It's all because of the two of them who were attracting other men outside. That's why such a big disaster happened today. It would be better if they were married off earlier and had a peaceful life! If they can marry into the Duke's Mansion, they can also give an explanation to their mother!"
When he came to his senses, he didn't blame Zhao Huai, nor Su Zhao who was trapped by someone, but the innocent Shi Xuan and Shi Li.
Even though he knew in his heart that Zhao Huai was not a good match, and that it was ridiculous to marry two good girls to him, for his own sake and out of fear for the power of Duke Zhao's Mansion, he nodded against his conscience.
Until it was dusk, Shi Li had not heard any news of her uncle's return.
After thinking about it over and over again, I felt that this matter was strange from beginning to end and was definitely not ordinary. But I couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
I just stared at the moon rising outside the window and thought of other things.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Li decisively called the maid over and instructed her something.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Even if she was overthinking it, it is better than having no one to turn to when something really happens.
Just as she had instructed the maid to go out and do something, news came from outside that her uncle had returned.
Moreover, as soon as he came back, he didn't even see his aunt, but called Shi Xuan to the study to talk.
Such abnormal behavior made Shi Li feel even more that something was wrong.
He asked someone to pack a few snacks and put them in a lunch box, then went to his uncle's study to find out what was going on.
The Su family is not a wealthy family, and they have no secrets at all.
So there was no one guarding outside the study door, and the door was ajar.
When Shi Li approached, she heard her uncle's voice coming from inside.
"Xuan'er, you are not a child anymore. Your parents are not around. As your uncle, I can't help but feel sorry for you. I have found a good marriage for you. Prince Zhao will come to propose in a few days."
These words completely confused Shi Xuan who came to the study room, and also stunned Shi Li.
I thought today’s events were not good, but I didn’t expect my uncle to be so shameless.
"Uncle! My father and brother are still alive, so you don't have to worry about my marriage!" After a brief moment of shock, Shi Xuan frowned and refused directly.
But her tough attitude could not change her uncle's mind.
He stared at Shi Xuan solemnly, "It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. I am no different from your parents now, you must not disobey. The day after tomorrow, Prince Zhao, you can wait for your marriage with peace of mind. In the future, your parents will also be grateful for my care of you."
"Impossible!" Shi Xuan was so angry that he turned around and walked out.
When they walked out, they saw Shi Li standing at the door. The two sisters looked at each other and understood each other.
The uncle followed and saw Shi Li standing at the door, but he didn't care. He even nodded to her, "Did you hear everything? Persuade your sister not to think about such messy things."
Shi Li was also angry, but at least she could control herself a little. Upon hearing this, she lowered her head and said nothing.
When his uncle walked over, he pulled Shi Xuan's sleeve and said to her, "Don't panic."
However, this uncle was far more shameless than they had imagined.
Perhaps he was worried that Shi Xuan would really do something extraordinary to refuse to marry, so he sent people to guard the gate, not allowing the two sisters to go out, let alone the people around them.
The two people were placed under house arrest in disguise.
When Shi Xuan was stopped, he staggered back a big step, his face pale.
It was Shi Li who supported her in time and shook her head at her.
"Sister, let's go back first." She pulled Shi Xuan away from the gate and returned to her own yard.
Shi Xuan was obviously hit hard by this series of events. As soon as he returned to the yard, his eyes were red and he shed two tears.
All I wanted was a good man, but I was first let down by Han Qin, and then I encountered something like this. It is really something that most people cannot bear.
Shi Li hugged her gently and whispered in her ear: "I have sent people out to help before. I will definitely not let Zhao Huai succeed."
Shi Xuan looked at his sister in disbelief. He knew that she was good at business and might know some people, but Zhao Huai was backed by the Duke's Mansion, and he and his uncle Kang He were in cahoots, so what else could he do?
"I... told Lord Xie about this matter." Shi Li didn't want her to continue worrying, so she revealed a little about her previous arrangements.
Shi Xuan didn't react for a moment, "Master Xie? Are you talking about... Regent Xie Lin?"
