The eldest lady whispered, "Are you crazy? What's wrong with Zhou Gu? You actually want to break off the engagement?"
Su Rong sighed, it wasn't that Zhou Gu was bad, it was just that he was really good. She said: "After much thought, I still feel that we are not suitable."
"Why isn't it suitable?" the eldest lady asked.
"Our two temperaments, family backgrounds, and the way we want to go in the future." Su Rong focused on the last point and said seriously: "Mother, Uncle Xie also thinks the same as me and feels that we are not suitable."
The eldest lady had a lot of things to say, but when Su Rong said that Xie Yuan had the same idea as hers, all the words were instantly choked in her throat. If it were just Su Rong's own thoughts, she thought this girl was crazy, she I must scold her. Where can I find such a good marriage? But if Xie Yuan also supported it, she really wouldn't be able to scold him anymore.
She looked at Su Rong, choked, and said: "How good Zhou Gu is. He is the youngest son in a high-class mansion. He is favored by thousands of people, but his education is better than that of the legitimate son and grandson of a noble family. How commendable. You If you let him go, it will be difficult to find someone like him."
Su Rong nodded, "I know."
The eldest lady was angry, "You know you still..."
Su Rong sighed, "Mother, my life experience is destined that I can't be full of love." She glanced at herself still wrapped in a rice dumpling, "Zhou Gu has his own way to go, and I also have my own way to go. No matter how we look at it now, we can’t come together, so why bother getting into trouble and putting ourselves in a dilemma in the future?”
The eldest lady is not a stupid person. When Su Rong said this, although she didn't say it clearly, she understood it clearly. She was speechless for a while.
Su Rong smiled at her and said, "Mom, it's not a big deal. You have always said that I am heartless, and you are right. I am not someone who takes the relationship between men and women too seriously at all. I With Zhou Gu, we haven’t reached that point yet, so we can get out in time before it’s too late.”
Seeing that the eldest lady's face was not good, she changed her words and said: "You only saw Zhou Guhao and the Duke Protector's Mansion was good, but can you think about it, one day in the future, my biological father will send someone to pick me up. , I have restored my identity, I have a lot of sons and daughters to choose from, right? Why can’t I be sure there is no better one?"
The eldest lady laughed angrily and pointed at Su Rong, "Did you say this sincerely?"
"Of course it is."
The eldest lady stared at her, seeing her indifferent expression, her inner dissatisfaction immediately dissipated a lot, and she said angrily: "The number of famous unmarried young masters in the world can be counted with one slap, Zhou Gu can count them The last one. You didn’t fight for anything and gave up before you could do anything. If you regret it in the future, you won’t have anywhere to cry.”
"No." Su Rong shook her head, "I regret it and admit it."
At least it is better than her knowing that there is an abyss in front of her, but still jumping down, causing harm to others and herself, and trapping others in injustice.
Seeing that she spoke so resolutely, the eldest lady had obviously made up her mind. She didn't know what to say for a moment, "Well, if you want to retreat, just retreat! I heard from your father that it was your mother who asked for it back then. Now that you are voluntarily withdrawing from the marriage matter at the Protector's Palace, I believe that the Duke Protector's Palace will not embarrass you."
"Yes." Su Rong nodded, "The old Lord Protector has a noble character, so he shouldn't embarrass me."
"What about Zhou Gu?" The eldest lady thought that Zhou Gu was a good person, so it would be a pity to cancel his marriage.
"Neither can Zhou Guying." Su Rong said, "When he first came to Jiangning, he was a little disgusted with me when he met me. Later, I didn't find him disgusted anymore, but I didn't see him liking me much."
After all, that day, she tested him and asked him to hug her, but he didn't agree. Even if she has never eaten pork, she has seen pigs running away. That's not how he likes someone.
Also, when she sent him away that day, she didn't see how reluctant he was to let her go. She could only say that his attitude towards her was that he didn't object to her marrying him, but he liked her and couldn't talk about it.
The eldest lady thought about it carefully, and indeed felt that Zhou Gu's treatment of Su Rong was no different except for asking her twice to ask her not to be too strict with Su Rong. The two of them were more like playmates, and it was right that they could live in harmony. , but they don’t have the expressions on their faces like children.
Madam is coming
Man, since the two of them don't have much love, Su Rong's breakup of the engagement shouldn't do any harm to Zhou Gu. So, she nodded, "As long as you know what's going on in your mind, it's your own business anyway. You've always had big ideas since you were a child, and I can't control you. Even if you regret it and want to cry in the future, you'd better cry secretly. Don't be fooled." I saw it."
Su Rong didn't think she would cry in the future, but she still nodded, "Don't worry, mother, if I cry in the future, I will definitely cry in your arms."
The eldest lady laughed and scolded, "You better have some face!"
After she finished scolding, she said reluctantly: "Zhou Gu brought a gift to congratulate you on your haircut. Since you want to break off the engagement, you have to return it."
Su Rong nodded, "It's time to give it back."
"I asked your elder brother to take it with me? Did I help you return it?" asked the eldest lady.
Su Rong shook his head, "No, I will pay it back myself, and Zhou Gu will also take part in this year's scientific examination. I plan to wait until the results of the scientific examination are released before visiting to cancel the engagement. Although he may not be sad, it is best not to affect him. "
The eldest lady sighed, "Originally, I have prepared a return gift to the Duke Protector's Mansion. When your eldest brother comes to Beijing, it is time for you to visit the Duke Protector's Mansion to meet your in-laws. But now that you want to break off the engagement, wouldn't it be appropriate for your eldest brother to visit again?"
Su Rong shook his head, "My eldest brother still carries the gift you prepared for the Duke Protector's Palace, and walks around as a relative as usual. After all, my eldest brother's return to Beijing will inevitably cause trouble to the Duke Protector's Palace. I will handle the matter of breaking off the engagement myself, there is no need. My eldest brother worries too much, so let him focus on his scientific examinations."
The eldest lady nodded, "Okay. It's best if you don't make enemies. If you do..."
When the eldest lady said this, she paused and shook her head. She felt that Su Rong was right, "The Duke Protector's Palace will never be like this."
For ordinary people, three days passed by in a hurry, but for Su Rong, who was lying in bed recovering from his injuries, the days really seemed like years. She had never suffered such a serious injury since she was a child, and she was inconvenienced everywhere.
Doctor He from Huichun Hall came to change the dressing every day. With Aunt Zhao watching over her, Su Rong nursed back to health. Three days later, when Su Xingze was about to leave, Su Rong could barely get out of bed.
Su Xingze came to see Su Rong early in the morning and was very relieved to see that she could get out of bed. "Seventh sister's injury is recovering well."
Su Rong wrote a note to Aunt Zhao, "Mama took good care of her."
Aunt Zhao was happy on the sidelines, "It's Miss Seven who is sleeping well."
Su Xingze thanked him, "Thank you for your hard work, mama."
Aunt Zhao shook her head repeatedly and said it was not hard. Knowing that the brother and sister had something to say, she retreated by giving Su Rong some medicine.
After Nanny Zhao went down, Su Xingze looked at Su Rong and asked her, "I heard from my mother that you want to break off the engagement?"
Su Rong nodded, "Yeah."
Su Xingze looked at her, "Have you thought about it?"
Su Rong nodded again.
Su Xingze was silent for a moment, "Zhou Gu is very good. It would be a pity if you backed out of his marriage."
Su Rong raised her eyebrows, "Brother, are you trying to persuade me?"
Su Xingze shook his head, "I didn't want to persuade you. I originally thought that you and Zhou Gu were too different from each other to be suitable. But since I met Zhou Gu, I feel that you two complement each other. But now that we know your life experience, based on In the current situation, if you really marry Zhou Gu, although it will be troublesome for the Protector's Palace, it will be beneficial to yourself. After all, the Protector's Palace is a great help. If you give up, It’s like losing someone to rely on. And your identity requires exactly this support now. After all, the Queen of Nanchu and the Nangong family are too powerful, as well as the Nanchu clan..."
"A century-old general of the Protector's Palace has been loyal to Daliang. He can't do anything wrong. It doesn't matter how great I am, I have to think about it for the Protector's Palace. And Zhou Gu, you also said that he is very good, just because he is very good , I can't drag him into the quagmire and let him get into trouble. The Duke Protector's Office has already paved the way for him, and he only needs to protect the crown prince all the way. In the future, he will surely have a smooth and prosperous journey. And what about me? The future is hard to say. .”
"Also, my mother spent her whole life destroying the beams that she saved. As her daughter, shouldn't I destroy the Great Wall of the beams even if I don't uphold her ambitions? The Protectorate's protection is The Great Wall of Daliang cannot fall down. Your Majesty attaches great importance to power and is too jealous. To put it bluntly, he is old and will not live for a few more years. As long as the Duke Protector's Palace is stable and the prince is benevolent, he will be able to take over Daliang.
Let Daliang change his appearance. My cooperation with the prince is enough. "
