Su Ruo was speechless, unable to say anything for a moment.
After a long time, she asked: "Are you really going to do this and stop treating me as a sister from now on?"
Su Ling raised her eyes and looked at her: "Yes."
Su Ruo took a deep breath and held her breath in her heart: "In that case, as you ask, I will not see you again in the future."
After saying that, Su Ruo turned around and left. She walked very fast, as if she was running away. The maid could only run to keep up.
Su Ling watched her disappear, without looking away or speaking for a long time.
After a while, she got up and walked into the garden, and saw He Xu and Zhao Xingzhen on the tree swing in a corner. The two were sitting on the swing, and there was a maid waiting beside them.
Hexu saw Su Ling coming over, slid off the swing, and then ran over quickly: "Mother! Mother!"
Because of these days of being on the run, Hexu also suffered a lot. He was even worried and insecure at a young age. In the past two days since they came back, the two children have been a little depressed and don't talk much.
Su Ling knelt down and reached out to hug He Xu. This action was something she had never done before, and she thought it was rude, but now, it doesn't matter anymore.
"The young princess should call her the concubine, concubine." The maid next to her reminded her.
He Xu moved her lips, but could not shout out, so she could only look at Su Ling helplessly.
Su Ling reached out and touched her head, and then said: "Don't worry, she just came back, we can change it in the future."
Su Ling walked over with He Xu, while Zhao Xingzhen was still sitting on the swing in a daze, watching them in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking.
Su Ling reached out and touched his head: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xingzhen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It's okay."
Although he is still young, he doesn't understand anything. In the past few days, he has often heard that he is not Su Ling's biological child. Su Ling is just his father's concubine, and his mother is Her father's first wife, the royal concubine.
But now, his mother is dead, and Su Ling has become a concubine.
Others said that Su Ling only raised him because she wanted to use him to come back.
But he thought carefully and thought about it. No matter what the reason was, Su Ling did not abandon him when he was fleeing. He also supported him. Being able to stand here today is a kindness.
As for other things, don't think about it anymore.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved again.
Su Ling said: "Although we are back, we still need to be careful and go out less in the recent period. We will wait until these things have passed in a few years before we can make plans."
The two children nodded cautiously: "I know."
Su Ling felt a little sad. She actually didn't want her children to be cautious, but the identities of the three of them were really embarrassing, so that was all.
She said: "Everything will be fine."
Everything will be fine. In a few years, few people will mention the rebellion of King Sui, and Zhao Xingzhen is one of the few heirs of the royal family and will always be taken care of.
In a few years, the past will be dust and everything will be fine.
.
Su Ruo held her breath and left Su'an Prince's Mansion, but when she stepped out of the door, she couldn't help but hesitate.
She knew in her heart that if she stepped out of this door today, the two sisters would really be strangers in the future.
At that moment, bits and pieces of her youth flashed through her mind.
The Yang family relied on the Yang family and treated them very poorly. The She family was weak, so the two sisters could only live hard in this inner house. When they got older, Su Fu often bullied them.
As a sister, Su Ruo was really good when she was a child. She always protected her sister and even found her a match with the Chen family.
At that time, Mr. Chen was still the minister. Although Chen Lian was a concubine, he was the only heir in the family. It was actually very good for Su Ling to marry her. Even if Chen Lian was not very promising, he had Chen Lian to take care of him and Jinning behind him. With government support, it will definitely be good in the future.
But what to start with?
It probably started from the time when the Taira family wanted to reorganize their lintel and wanted to gain the power of dragon. It started when she didn't want to be looked down upon by others and wanted to be the noble lady of this imperial city.
It is undeniable that she said she was doing it for Su Ling, but in fact, she also had too much intention of taking advantage of her.
She never even thought about how she had dragged her own sister into the whirlpool of the legitimate inheritance. What would happen to her if things failed in the future?
She was willing to give everything for this, and she was willing to endure the victory, defeat, and life and death. However, her sister should not have stepped into it. If she had really been thinking about her sister back then, she should not have been like this.
What she should do is to find a good husband for her sister so that she can live a good life. If this happens, with her sister looking after her, how can she live a bad life?
In this way, if things fail, she can stay outside of right and wrong and not be tainted in this quagmire.
But she had personally pushed her sister into this whirlpool.
Now my sister has been hiding outside for several years and has suffered a lot. Although she is now very happy and has become a concubine...
But the concubine...
Toffee.
Toffee.
Deserve honor and enjoy wealth.
In fact, it's just...just a widow.
She became a concubine in this life, and it was for the honor of the royal family, so she cut off the chance of remarrying. She will grow old alone in these years.
Even because King Sui's rebellion failed in the past, the life of the three of them, mother and son, would definitely not be easy, and they would be cautious and walk on thin ice.
Su Ruo couldn't help but shed tears.
"Yes, I was wrong...I was wrong back then..."
She couldn't help but want to look back, but she put her steps down again.
What happened in the past was over, and the result was done. Su Ling resented her in her heart, but at this moment, she felt that she was wrong and shouldn't have done it, but what's the use?
Su Ruo closed her eyes and begged now, but Su Ling refused to forgive her. Even if she begged, it was just for peace of mind. The estrangement between the sisters was still there.
In this case, it is better not to go.
If she stops blaming her at some point, then she will come back then.
Su Ruo did not want to bow to the Duke of Jinning, because she actually did not live a good life in the Duke of Jinning. What was more, mother and daughter were bullied by Su Fu of the Yang family.
But she was willing to bow to Su Ling because Su Ling was her sister, and she didn't want to become strangers to her sister from now on.
"Madam, are you okay?" The maid came up to support her.
"I'm fine." Su Ruo raised his head, looked at the plaque of Prince Su'an's Mansion, closed his eyes, "Let's go back."
If one day, Su Ling no longer blames her, she will do it again.
But on that day, I don’t know when to wait?
She thought, I hope that one day.
