Xie Lin saw the two of them discussing like no one was around and didn't avoid him, feeling very complicated.
He waited for the two of them to finish speaking, then said silently: "Are you two treating me like air?"
He, Prince Ruian's Mansion, does not belong to any camp and has not taken refuge with anyone. He has been living a cowardly life under His Majesty's nose. Although he is a coward, there is one advantage. He is not like the Duke Protector's Mansion, who is secretly jealous and stared at by His Majesty. He stared at Prince Ruian's Palace following every move of the Duke Protector's Palace, which made people breathless.
He said that it was all caused by the military power. As long as the Protectorate Government relinquished the military power, there would be no such trouble.
But in other words, will the Protectorate's Palace still be the Protectorate's Palace after relinquishing military power? Even if he relinquishes military power, can the Protectorate be able to escape unscathed?
Xie Lin tried his best to think, but he couldn't figure out the result. He thought this was probably the reason why the old protector asked Zhou Gu to Congwen! The Protectorate's Mansion also had no way out. Who knew that the Duke Protector's Mansion, which was praised by everyone in the world, was already in dire straits.
"If I don't treat you like air, just treat yourself as deaf." Zhou Gu said venomously.
Xie Lin choked and suddenly asked Zhou Gu, "Does your fiancée know that you are such a virtuous person?"
Zhou Gu paused.
"Let's go back!" Su Xingze heard the debate still going on downstairs and lost interest in sitting down.
Xie Lin and Zhou Gu were no longer interested. They nodded and left the Juxian Building together.
The three of them left quickly. The eldest prince Yan Li, who was sitting in the next room, looked at him from the back window and his face became dark. "I didn't expect that although Xie Lin and Zhou Gu fought because of Qin Luan, they didn't become enemies. It's really refreshing." .”
The staff member said: "I heard that Princess Ruian chose several candidates for Young Prince Xie's marriage, but Young Prince Xie rejected them all. I heard that she is still thinking about Qin Luan."
"Who said that a woman who enters the East Palace can't get out? As long as I sit in that position, Qin Luan can get him out." Yan Li made a calculation, "I'll ask Xie Lin tomorrow if he still wants Qin Luan." Luan? The Duke Protector's Palace has made it clear that it is leaning toward the East Palace. It is only a matter of time before it joins the East Palace. Only my father still feels that the Duke Protector's Palace does not dare to act rashly. If it is true that the Duke Protector's Palace does not dare to act rashly, Zhou Gu will not start helping the prince. . Prince Ruian’s Mansion shouldn’t be left alone.”
The staff nodded, "Although Mr. Xie seems to be indifferent, he is not brainless. If asked directly, he would not dare to say that he cares about it anymore, and he may not agree, but if we find an opportunity, let him get together with Qin Luan After doing a lot, I don’t believe he can still refuse.”
Yan Li was full of calculations, "If we can control Qin Luan, and then control Xie Lin, the former can make the East Palace fall apart, and the latter can take refuge in this palace, then we can kill two birds with one stone."
The staff flattered, "Your Highness is right."
"These two have to plan slowly, there is always a chance. The first thing is Su Xingze. This palace has tested him out. He is a talented person. This palace does not want him to be named on the gold list and become a sword of the East Palace." Yan Li Fa said harshly: "This person must be prevented from participating in the Golden Autumn Science Examination."
The staff member said: "There is still one month left before the scientific examination. There is always a chance to deal with him. There is no need to rush, Your Highness."
"Why am I not in a hurry? Didn't you see that Zhou Guming was trying to protect him?" Yan Li lost interest in sitting down. "Go back home and give me all the ideas you can think of. Su Xingze can't stay."
The staff should be.
Yan Li walked out of the door, glanced downstairs again, and said, "Secretly send someone to check on Zhao Li'an and Lu Fengyan to see if they can be drawn together. Even if they can't be drawn together, they can't be drawn together by Dong Gong and his second brother."
The staff should be.
After leaving Juxian Building, Xie Lin returned to Prince Ruian's Mansion by himself, while Su Xingze and Zhou Gu returned to Dongsi Hutong.
As soon as he entered the mansion, the housekeeper delivered two letters, one to Su Xingze and the other to Zhou Gu, "Eldest Young Master, Mr. Zhou, a letter from Jiangzhou."
Su Xingze took the letter and glanced at Zhou Gu, who saw a pleasant smile on his face. Seeing him, he asked Su Xingze, "Brother Su, is this a letter from Xiao Qi?"
Su Xingze said "Yeah", "It should be."
Zhou Gu immediately opened it. He held the thin piece of letter paper in his hand and thought, good guy, he wrote it.
It took two whole pages, but she only wrote one page to her. More than that, when he saw the content of the letter, the joy on his face disappeared.
This was not Su Rong's handwriting. He had seen her handwriting when he went to her study that day.
In addition, this letter was not only ghostwritten by someone else, but also contained only one sentence, saying that the congratulatory gifts given by the Protectorate were too heavy and she deserved them. She felt relieved that those things were returned to him. It means something else.
Nothing else, what do you mean?
Zhou Gu became angry and could no longer restrain himself. He turned to look at Su Xingze. I saw that Su Xingze was also reading the letter. He also had a thin piece of letter paper in his hand, and he seemed to have written a few words.
Su Xingze noticed Zhou Gu's gaze and raised his head to look at him.
Zhou Gu pursed his lips, "My letter was ghostwritten by someone else. I wonder, Brother Su, your letter was written by her herself?"
Su Xingze looked calm and said, "It's also a ghostwriter."
He felt that there was nothing in this letter that Zhou Gu could not read, so he simply opened it for Zhou Gu to read clearly.
Zhou Gu saw clearly that the handwriting on the letter in his hand was the same as that written by someone else. He wondered, "Did she get into a fight with someone again and hurt her hand? Why do both letters have to be written by someone else?"
Su Xingze calculated the time and felt that Su Rong's injury should be healed, so that she would not have to rely on others to write as ghostwriters, and she could not write. She asked someone to write as a ghostwriter, which only meant that she was too lazy to write. He shook his head, "Qimei has always been too lazy to write letters. , it’s not surprising to find someone to ghostwrite it.”
Zhou Gu was watching, but he didn't expect this to be the reason. He felt angry, thinking that one was her eldest brother and the other was her fiancé. Would she treat people like this?
He suppressed his emotions and asked, "Has she always hired someone to write for you? Didn't she write all the letters she wrote to you herself?"
"No." Su Xingze shook his head, "I used to emphasize that she was not allowed to find anyone to ghostwrite, and I also beat everyone in the Su family, so no one in the entire Su family would ghostwrite for her. Now these two letters , probably written by Aunt Zhao."
The implication is that no one has ever been beaten.
Zhou Gu was speechless and asked Su Xingze directly, "Brother Su, she is very rich, do you know?"
"I know." Su Xingze nodded.
"Then she still steals fifty taels of silver from you every month. Do you know how to pay it back?" Zhou Gu looked at him.
Su Xingze smiled, "She had no money before, but I'm used to it."
The implication is that when she became rich later, she did not change this habit.
Zhou Gu held his breath in his heart and said word by word: "She gave me a batch of clothes and materials in Jinxiu Pavilion, worth a full 180,000 taels. What does Brother Su think?"
Su Xingze was surprised for a moment, but he had a clear mind and quickly understood what Su Rong meant, "I don't know everything about Seventh Sister. After all, I have been studying at Yunshan Academy for the past two years. , I don’t know much about it, Jinxiu Pavilion has her stock, since she gave you these, she must have her reasons.”
Zhou Gu had no place to vent, "Her reason is that the gifts given to her by the Protector's Palace were too heavy, and she said she deserved them. She felt at ease when she used those things to pay them back to me."
Zhou Gu stared at Su Xingze, "Brother Su, is she dissatisfied with me?"
Su Xingze didn't know what Su Rong was thinking when he gave these things to Zhou Gu, but he was definitely not dissatisfied, so he shook his head, "You are worrying too much. Qimei is used to doing whatever she wants."
Zhou Gu sneered, "Brother Su, don't fool me. She is not a person who does whatever she wants. She has her reasons for everything she does. During the month I went to Jiangning County, she repeatedly tested me. She doesn’t think much of our engagement at all, does she?”
Su Xingzemo said, "After all, the family backgrounds are so different, it's understandable that she doesn't like them."
This is admission!
Zhou Gu felt so depressed that he raised his hand and stuffed the letter into the envelope. He threw the envelope and the envelope directly into the incense burner. If it wasn't her handwritten letter, what else was he keeping? It's better to burn it.
Seeing the letter burnt to ashes, he turned to Su Xingze and said, "After the scientific examination, my mother and I will go to Jiangzhou to discuss the marriage."
Su Xingze didn't know what to say. He told Su Rong that he wanted to break off the engagement because he was afraid of affecting him.
Scientific examination, simply, he said nothing.
Zhou Gu stood up and said, "I'm going to study!"
He strode away and returned to his room. Su Xing rubbed his brows and threw the envelope in his hand into the incense burner not far away. It was not a letter written by Qimei, so of course he did not need to keep it.
