Su Ruo watched her mother wipe her tears, but there seemed to be no sound in her ears.
She returned to the Ping family in a daze. After thinking about it for a long time, she really couldn't sit still, so she took people to Su'an Prince's Mansion to ask for an explanation.
But as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped.
"Who is here? Have you ever received a greeting card?"
Su Ruo took a deep breath: "...Is your concubine in the house? I am her biological sister. I heard that she was back, so I came to see her. I came in a hurry and forgot to bring my greeting card."
Hearing that she was her biological sister, the guard did not dare to stop her here directly. He just invited her to wait in the small hall next to the concierge and arranged for someone to report her.
When Su Ruo sat down, she couldn't help but straighten her back and let out a gentle breath.
She waited for a while, and the person who went to report hurriedly came back with a maid. That maid was Su Ling's new personal maid. The maid saluted Su Ruo: "I have met Mrs. Heiji."
Su Ruo nodded: "How are you, concubine?"
The maid said: "Mrs. Lao Ping is worried about you. The concubine has been away for these years, but she is actually not doing well. No, she has been tired for several days since she came back. No, she has just rested, and you, Mrs. Ping, are here. "
When Su Ruo heard this, she opened her eyes and looked at the other person.
The maid said respectfully: "My concubine has thanked Madam Heiji for caring about her, but she is tired and does not want to see guests today. Madam Heiji should go back."
At this point, the maid paused and continued, "The concubine also asked me to tell Mrs. Heiji that the concubine does not want to see you. In the future, you will not come. Just treat it as if you don't have this sister."
Su Ruo's eyes widened. She suddenly stood up and stared at the maid condescendingly: "What nonsense are you talking about, maid? Why doesn't the concubine not want to see me? I am her biological sister!"
"If it weren't for me, would she be where she is today?"
"You go and report again, and let me see if she still recognizes me as her sister? If she doesn't see me today, I won't leave."
The maid didn't know the grudge between the two sisters. As a maid, she didn't dare to offend her master's biological sister, so she had no choice but to say yes, and then turned around to tell Su Ling.
Seeing that the maid had left, Su Ruo stood there with her face flushed and her eyes red with anger: "How have I been sorry to her all these years? How have I not thought about her? She actually blamed me so much that she even I don’t even recognize this sister!”
"This is simply unreasonable!"
There seemed to be a fire burning in Su Ruo's heart, which was so intense that she almost lost her mind.
"It's just that she has become a concubine now and looks down on my down-and-out sister..."
"It's just that you look down on me..."
The maid beside her couldn't help but persuade: "Madam, don't say any more, this is Prince Su'an's Mansion..."
When Su Ruo heard this, she felt that she was extremely aggrieved. She wanted to throw up her sleeves and leave, but she also felt that she wanted to clarify with Su Ling and didn't want to leave.
After a while, the maidservant hurried over again and asked Su Ruo to go to the inner courtyard: "The concubine invites you, Mrs. Ping Er, please come with me."
Su Ruo bit her lip, then followed with her maid.
Su'an Prince's Mansion is only half the size of the former Sui Prince's Mansion, probably because the emperor pointed it out casually, and it is not a particularly good mansion. It has been vacant before. The gardens and buildings in the mansion are still being repaired. People walking through the courtyard At that time, I also saw the turned soil in the open space.
The maid led Su Ruo to a courtyard. Su Ling was sitting on a chair wearing a plain robe. She also had a plain silk flower on her head and no makeup on her face. She looked like Very plain.
The two sisters have experienced a lot of hardships, and they seem to have aged much in a few years.
Su Ling was so worried that she couldn't have peace every night. She was afraid that there would be pursuers coming, and she was afraid that she would meet some bad guy. She had two children with her, so there would be no peace.
Su Ruo endured it on her own. The Heing family had not had a good life these past years. She held her breath and endured it like this.
Su Ling's gaze swept across her face, her expression indifferent: "I heard you want to see me?"
Su Ruo felt something in her heart, and felt her blood surge up: "Since you came back and went to see your mother, why didn't you see me? Is it possible that you really don't want to recognize me as a sister?"
"Eldest sister already knows about it at mother's place, so why bother asking again?" Su Ling's face was pale.
Su Ruodao: "It is precisely because I know this that I came to you today. I want to ask clearly why you and I, sisters, have become like this? Why don't you want to recognize me?"
Su Ling laughed: "Sister, I don't know exactly why, so why bother asking again?"
"In the past, Su Fu caused me to be in front of me, and also caused me to be divorced. When I was in grief, it was you, eldest sister, who took me back to the Ping family. At that time, I was grateful to eldest sister, and before that, I was also grateful. "
"But I didn't expect that the eldest sister would single-handedly push me into that situation." Su Ling closed her eyes, "Yes, I had my own reasons at the time. I was unwilling to accept this. I didn't want to swallow this breath, and I didn't want to be second to Su Fu in the future. Next, I want to overpower her."
"But I didn't know that the eldest sister's plan was all for the Heng family, using me to exchange for the Heng family's status in front of King Sui."
"I didn't!" Su Ruo couldn't help but explain, "Although I had my heart for the Taira family, at that time, according to your situation, even if you were married, you wouldn't be able to get a good marriage. The concubine of the palace, a concubine like you and me. , in fact, it’s a high climb.”
"If King Sui hadn't wanted the support of Duke Jinning, he definitely wouldn't have wanted you."
"What's wrong with this? Even if I want to get married, I don't have the chance. Why are you still dissatisfied?"
"And you are now the princess of the prince's palace. As long as you educate the prince well, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future."
"Do you want this wealth?" Su Ling turned to look at her with a cold look.
Su Ruo felt a little scared when she saw it.
"So what about the concubine? She's just a widow, what's so good about it?" Su Ling's face turned pale. "I thought it was wrong before. I want to get rich. If I can be like my sixth sister, I can marry well." Even if people don’t have so much wealth and splendor, it’s still good if they don’t have to worry about food and clothing.”
"It's a pity. Now that the road has been passed, it's too late to regret it."
"Sister, you still don't understand?"
"I don't want to see you because I feel that I was wrong at the beginning, and the eldest sister is also the one who pushed me to go down this road. I dare not say anything to resent you. After all, I had the same thoughts as you at the beginning. "
"I just don't want to see myself again. Likewise, I don't want to see you, eldest sister."
"From now on, don't come again. You and I, sisters, just stay well..."
