At this time, the Ping Mansion was deserted, and the Ping family returned to ordinary life. A few years had passed, and although they were not in poverty, they could no longer be as generous as before. The yard was deserted everywhere, and it was not taken care of much.
Even a month ago, Mrs. Ping suggested that the yard was too big to take care of, and wanted to seal off the back yard.
The Heike's courtyard was awarded by the emperor when the Heike was granted a title. Although the Heike had the right to live in it, they could not sell it. Now they couldn't manage it, so they had to leave a part of it vacant.
After discussing it, the two Taira brothers agreed.
Su Ruo was also depressed at that time. She had a breath in her heart. This breath had been blocking her for many years, making her become more and more taciturn and gloomy in the past few years. If the Heng family couldn't feel proud, she might never be able to let out this breath in her life.
What she had heard the most over the years was how good Su Wan's life was, what a well-behaved and intelligent child she had given birth to, how many people came to ask for Su Luo's hand in marriage, and how carefully the family chose Su Luo for her. , but the marriage has not yet been made.
Even Su Ran was extremely successful before. She gave birth to the eldest son of Prince Ming and was very likely to sit on the throne of the Queen in the future. However, as Prince Ming was reprimanded and reflected, the Ninth Prince was established as the Crown Prince of the East Palace, and all the glory faded, and she returned to the throne. Quietly relieved.
She felt that once the Ninth Prince ascended the throne, Prince Ming's Mansion would definitely not be in a good place, and neither would Su Ran.
In addition, Su Fu was married off to the Chen family, and Su Ling was hiding outside with her children.
She felt that at least these people were worse off than she was, and she felt some comfort in her heart.
"She's really back?" Su Ruo looked out the window blankly. At this time, snowflakes were falling from the sky and fell in the deserted courtyard. The sky was covered by dark clouds and was a little dark.
The first snow of this year has finally fallen.
"Yes, I'm back. When I just went out, I heard that His Majesty issued an imperial edict and made Zhao Xingzhen, the son of commoner Zhao Mingsui, the king of Su'an County. He also made the third girl the concubine of Su'an, and also gave him a mansion. It is the palace of the county prince."
"He Xu is still her princess." He Xu was originally a first-class princess. According to the system, the daughter of the princess is the first-class princess, the daughter of the concubine is the second-class princess, and the daughter of the concubine is the second-class princess. Third class.
Hexu was the first granddaughter of the emperor's grandchildren. Although she was born as a concubine, the emperor personally named her Princess Hexu, a first-class princess.
"The third girl will enjoy happiness in the future."
Isn’t that a blessing?
Although the high position has nothing to do with them, and Zhao Mingsui is dead, she has raised Zhao Mingsui's two children, and she will definitely be indispensable for wealth in the future, even if she became a concubine and a widow at a young age.
Su Ruo squeezed the handkerchief tightly.
The maid continued: "The third girl is still smart. If she hadn't left with Prince Su'an, I'm afraid there would never be a chance to come back."
Although Wen Xu is also of royal blood, he is not as important as Zhao Xingzhen. Zhao Xingzhen is the son of the royal family. Especially now that there are only two royal grandchildren, his existence has become very important.
If only Su Ling and He Xu were outside, it was really hard to say whether they could come back.
Maybe it really depends on a little luck. If Princess Sui hadn't avenged Su Ling in the past, and Su Ling owed Princess Sui a favor, Princess Sui probably wouldn't have given the children to Su Ling, and even sent someone to protect them and leave.
In this way, there is no such thing as today. In the hearts of everyone in the Imperial City, Su Ling is probably Zhao Mingsui's former concubine. Zhao Mingsui's rebellion failed, and she ran away with her child. Now she doesn't know where she is.
If that were the case, where would there be Princess Su'an?
Su Ruo opened her mouth: "She is indeed quite smart."
"Madam, how about we make preparations when to visit Princess Su'an? You are her biological sister."
"Why are we going? Not going!" Su Ruo couldn't help but her voice became sharp, which frightened the maid.
Su Ruo took a deep breath and said after a long time: "Now that she is Princess Su'an, how can she still remember who I am, so why should I embarrass myself? Or let her see how bad my life has been over the past few years?"
Su Ruo is such a decent and arrogant person, how could she allow others to see her in despair and sigh with pity in her eyes.
Over the years, if she had been intentional or thick-skinned, she would have gone to Jinning Duke's Mansion to repent and bow her head, but she refused. She also knew that her attempt to harm Su Wan back then had offended the Jinning Duke's Mansion. Scales are not so easy to forgive.
And she thought it was ridiculous that Su Fu had done so many harmful things, and the Jinning Palace still protected her, but she just did this one thing, and the Jinning Palace refused to let her come to the door even if they said no. If you don't recognize her, don't recognize her.
After thinking about it, she felt it was unfair and unfair, and she would not go there.
Sometimes she held her breath and wanted to live a better life and show off to Duke Jinning. However, the past few years had gotten worse and worse, which made her feel very unsatisfied and she held her breath more and more.
The maidservant had always been with Su Ruo and was her confidant. When she heard this, she was startled and couldn't help but persuade her: "Madam, why are you like this? It's because we are having trouble with Duke Jinning's Mansion." We are divorced, we just don’t want to be angry about it.”
"But the third girl is your biological sister after all. Even if you are in trouble and have a bad life, how can this sister who was born from the mother's mother laugh at you? If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the little master. Think about it, right?"
Su Ruo couldn't help biting her lip.
The maid advised again: "Madam, Princess Su'an has just returned, and she must not be familiar with the affairs of the Imperial City. You can just think of it as helping her. We are sisters after all."
Su Ruo couldn't lower her head, thought for a while and said: "Since we are sisters, and I am the elder sister and she is the younger sister, she should come to visit me. Even if she has no time, she should send someone to invite me. "
"Let's wait until the people from Su'an Prince's Palace come to the door. If I were asked to run over like this, I wouldn't want to."
The maid wanted to persuade her again, but when she saw Su Ruo biting her lip and refusing to bow her head, she thought about it and stopped trying.
For a period of time later, Su Ruo kept waiting, but never waited for anyone from Su'an Prince's Palace to come to the door. Once when she went to see her mother in She's house, she heard from She's family that Su Ling came home on the third day after she came back. I went over to visit her, and then left a message for Su Ruo.
Mrs. She wiped her tears: "Your sister said that the relationship between you and her as sisters has ended, so we should say goodbye and treat her as strangers from now on."
In the past, Su Ling wanted to marry into the Sui Palace as a concubine. Firstly, it was because the Jinning Palace had hurt her. Secondly, it was Su Ruo who seduced her and even pushed her out with one hand.
What Su Ruo wants is the future of the Heng family and the relationship between the Heng family and Prince Sui's palace.
Although Su Ling didn't have much resentment towards her, she felt very complicated and didn't want to see her again.
Mrs. She couldn't help but shed tears: "It's really an injustice. How did you sisters get to the point where today we have no contact with each other..."
yes.
Su Ruo didn't know why she had reached this point.
