Concubine Yuxian was always gentle, but she was never so harsh even when she reprimanded the palace officials.
Hearing Concubine Yuxian's words, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but lowered her eyes and looked at the person under the couch.
She couldn't help but be a little surprised when she discovered that the person kneeling below was actually Su Zhirou.
"Aunt, what are you doing?" Jiang Nianjiao said unclearly.
However, Concubine Yuxian only said softly, "Don't worry about it. I have already heard what Miss Chen said about today."
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Nianjiao had some expectations in her heart. The Miss Chen mentioned by her aunt was naturally Chen Changnian.
And Chen Yannian, like himself in the previous life, hated Su Zhirou in his heart because of his cousin, and how could he say good things about Su Zhirou in front of his aunt.
But now that I think about it, this is just ridiculous anger.
If Zhao Nianze doesn't like himself, what does it have to do with others.
It's just that they have never been destined.
"Miss Su, you should know that you and my son are very different. He has his own way to go, and you naturally have your own destination. I have discussed the stakes with you before, and I have promised you, As long as you are separated from my son, I will naturally find a good marriage for you, and even let your father become the judge of the Taiyuan Hospital. You clearly agreed to this before, so why are you still entangled with my son now? "Concubine Yu Xian's words were very cold and harsh.
Su Zhirou knelt down. Although she lowered her head, her waist was straight: "Mother, I said I don't want these..."
"You don't want this. Are you going to drag my son into the abyss with you?" Upon hearing this, Concubine Yu Xian angrily interrupted Su Zhirou's words.
Then realizing that she had lost her composure, Concubine Yu Xian only took a breath again and said in a softer voice: "Miss Su, your father saved my son back then, and you and your father took care of my son. Naturally, I and the Emperor are very grateful. It's just that you shouldn't...shouldn't be so unsatisfied."
Su Zhirou's temperament was really docile, and she actually allowed her aunt to scold her like this.
However, she could tell from her aunt's words that Su Zhirou's indifference towards Zhao Nianze today turned out to be her aunt's fault.
It's just that in her previous life, her cousin kept her affair with Su Zhirou well hidden. Her aunt knew about the relationship between Su Zhirou and her cousin because she complained.
Now she didn't say anything. How did her aunt know this?
But soon, she had a guess in mind.
Recalling the words that my stepmother Yu Seduo said last time, I'm afraid that was when my aunt noticed Su Zhirou.
It's just that my aunt's mobility is too strong.
I was thinking wildly in my mind, and then I heard someone outside the door banging the palace door with a loud bang.
The loud shouts of his cousin and the servants could be heard outside.
"Your Highness, you can't go in!"
"Concubine, you can't treat Zhirou like this! This matter is all my fault. If you want to punish me, you can punish me!"
Listening to the noise outside, Concubine Yuxian just closed her eyes and sighed, "When will this child become sensible?"
Then she just said to the eldest maid next to her, "Well, this matter is not her fault after all. Let him come in."
After Concubine Yuxian finished speaking, Zhao Nianze was quickly let in.
After Zhao Nianze came in, the first thing he looked at was naturally Su Zhirou. Seeing that Su Zhirou was only punished to kneel in the palace, but she did not receive any punishment.
He just breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he didn't hesitate at all. Without waiting for Concubine Yuxian to speak, he just lifted the hem of his robe and knelt on the ground and said, "Concubine, this matter is all the fault of my son. Please don't blame Xiaorou. "
Hearing him defend Su Zhirou in front of Jiang Nianjiao so unscrupulously, Concubine Yu Xian couldn't help but sneered, "Okay, I don't have to punish her, but do you know your mistakes and can change them?"
Hearing Concubine Yuxian's words, Zhao Nianze couldn't help but be startled, "What does the concubine mean by this?"
Concubine Yuxian said, "Cut off all contact with her."
For a long time, there was only silence in the hall. Just when everyone thought that Zhao Nianze would not speak again, they heard him say firmly in a low voice, "My son, this life was given by Zhirou. If you want to talk to Zhirou, If Rou is separated, the mother and concubine might as well kill her sons and ministers with a stick!"
Hearing Zhao Nianze's words, Concubine Yuxian was angry and frightened, and she almost lost her balance. It was the palace maid next to her who supported her.
Concubine Yuxian couldn't help but sneer, "Seriously, your wings are really stiff, I can't be your master anymore?"
Then she said cruelly, "Come here, Su Zhirou has committed an offence. It will bring trouble to the palace. Drag him out and kill him with a stick."
Everyone present was shocked when they heard Concubine Yuxian's decree.
After all, Concubine Yuxian had never given such a severe punishment to anyone who had made mistakes in the palace.
Zhao Nianze quickly hugged Su Zhirou tightly, as if he was trying to block the upcoming punishment by protecting her under his body.
Jiang Nianjiao actually didn't want to meddle in this business, but she thought that she was saved by Su Zhirou both times.
She still said, "Aunt, my cousin had to be rescued by Dr. Su before he could return to the palace. If we kill his only daughter without knowing the reason, we will inevitably chill the hearts of everyone in the world. What's more, Gillian also needs her. Timely rescue can save a life."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Zhao Nianze couldn't help but frown. He didn't know what bad idea Jiang Nianjiao was going to come up with, but Su Zhirou looked at Jiang Nianjiao with a little gratitude in her eyes.
However, Jiang Nianjiao's thoughts were not on the two of them at this time.
She just looked at Concubine Yuxian pleadingly.
Concubine Yu Xian looked at Jiang Nianjiao with eyes that were filled with relief and distress.
Jiaojiao is different from before, and she actually knows how to think about the overall situation.
But then I thought about myself, and that trace of relief turned into regret.
She had promised her sister that she would take good care of her sister, her only flesh and blood, no matter what.
But now she knows that her adopted son is not a sweetheart, but she still lets her become like her.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yu Xian only waved her hand dejectedly, and then motioned to everyone, "You can go down first."
Then he lowered his eyes to Zhao Nianze, who was still comforting Su Zhirou at his feet.
To say that she was not disappointed in her heart would definitely be a lie.
After all, this is the child she has raised for eight years, and she has always been more devoted to him than to her own child.
But now he was so blatantly disobeying himself for a woman.
Is such a person really worthy of being entrusted by their entire family?
But thinking that I had nothing to do for more than ten years, all the uneasiness turned into helplessness.
She just said to Zhao Nianze, "You guys can go down too."
Only then did Zhao Nianze think of his adoptive mother.
"Mother and concubine..."
Concubine Yuxian just waved her hand weakly at him.
Finally, only Jiang Nianjiao was left in the room. Concubine Yu Xian walked to Jiang Nianjiao's bed at this time. She touched Jiang Nianjiao's face, which was very similar to her sister, and smiled helplessly, but said nothing.
Jiang Nianjiao felt sorry for her aunt.
Although she didn't know anything about the world, she also knew that her aunt was doing her best for the younger generation and the family.
Jiang Nianjiao only stretched out her hand to hold her aunt's hand covering her face, as if she was afraid that the other party would just leave.
"Auntie, if you feel tired, you can lean on Jiaojiao's shoulder."
"Auntie, I'm not tired. Jiaojiao, what do you think of your cousin now? Do you still like him?"
Jiang Nianjiao actually wanted to directly say she didn't like it.
But it would be too strange to change her words too quickly, and my aunt also really hopes that she can marry her cousin.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao just pretended not to know "what my aunt means by this."
"It's nothing, just asking casually." Concubine Yu Xian's voice was very soft.
I can only ask casually, how can she be the master of others now when she couldn't even be her own master back then.
Women like them may be born with no control over their bodies and fate.
However, Jiang Nianjiao spoke again tentatively at this time, "Aunt, actually I think I may not like my cousin that much. If he likes me as much as he likes Su Zhirou, I will naturally like him. But if he doesn't If he likes me, I don’t have to like him."
Jiang Nianjiao's words only made Concubine Shen Xian chuckle. She was still a child after all, and her words were so childish.
How can people's emotions be so freely retractable? If one day, their emotions are truly retractable, then they will definitely no longer love.
But this girl Jiaojiao clearly refused to give up until she hit the south wall. How could she really give up on Zhao Nianze just because of the trouble she caused today?
…
Outside the hospital, Zhao Nianze only escorted Su Zhirou to the swing frame outside the courtyard gate. He held Su Zhirou to sit on the swing frame.
Then he knelt on one knee in front of Su Zhirou. He only stretched out his hand to knead Su Zhirou's knees.
Seeing Zhao Nianze behaving like this, Su Zhirou quickly looked outside the courtyard and at the same time tried to stand up in fear.
However, Zhao Nianze pressed Su Zhirou, and at the same time he looked at Su Zhirou with a particularly remorseful expression, "Xiaorou, I'm sorry, I didn't know that this was the mother-in-law's intention. You were shocked today. .”
Seeing that he was just apologizing, Su Zhirou's expression softened a bit, but her tone was still harsh: "Your Highness, you don't have to apologize to me. The one you really should apologize to is Miss Jiang."
Zhao Nianze still couldn't help but frown when Su Zhirou mentioned Jiang Nianjiao. After all, this person had a long criminal record, so no wonder he would think of her first.
But he also knew that Xiaorou would definitely not be willing to listen to his explanation, so he only admitted his mistakes.
"Yes, I was a little too excited today. I will apologize to her."
Hearing Zhao Nianze cooperate so well and rub her knees so gently, his appearance reminded her of the happy time they had when her father picked him up.
Therefore, the next words to be spoken at this time seem to weigh a lot.
However, no matter how hard it is to speak, it is obviously impossible for them to continue to consume like this.
Therefore, Su Zhirou only trembled her lips and said the next words, "Actually, Concubine Xian also does it for your own good..."
"For my own good? Xiaorou, you think too well of me. She just wants to marry her niece to me." Zhao Nianze couldn't help but retort.
"What's wrong with Miss Jiang? She is beautiful, infatuated and has a good family background. With the help of her family in the future, you will be even more powerful. But I can't help you with anything." Su Zhirou advised.
"But I don't like her! Xiaorou, I don't need you to help me, I just want you to be by my side."
Hearing his firm words, Su Zhirou's eyes were obviously very evasive.
However, Zhao Nianze held Su Zhirou's hand and begged, "Xiaorou, don't hide from me, okay? Don't worry so much? Just treat me as the same Ananda I was before, and I will handle all the rest." It will all be resolved on its own.”
