The Duke's wife sent people to inquire as soon as she got the news. The Duke Protector's Mansion had its own ability to find out information. When she was about to arrive at the Princess's Mansion, the information had been found out clearly.
After hearing the report, the Duke's wife was full of astonishment, doubting the authenticity of the news, "Su Rong and Duan Hua are holding hands? Dining and shopping? Are you sure it's Su Rong?"
The person said: "It has been spread all over the capital. It is said that Miss Su Qi of Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion is engaged to the fourth son of our mansion, Su Rong."
After the man finished speaking, he added: "My subordinates were also very suspicious. They asked many people to inquire, and they all said that it was indeed the name Princess Duanhua called the girl directly. Many people saw them. This matter You can’t do anything false.”
The Duke's wife was still doubtful and the carriage stopped. She didn't know whether she should go to the Princess's Mansion at this time. After all, due to the incident between Zhou Gu and Duan Hua a few days ago, the Princess's Mansion and the Protector's Mansion were very close. Big, she rushed over at this time, she was really suspected of launching an army to investigate.
The Duke's wife added, "Tell me carefully."
This man inquired in detail, and quickly told the Duke's wife what he had learned in detail.
After hearing this, the Duke's wife was very surprised and said, "This is really strange."
She asked the man, "You said there is a young man with Su Rong? Who is he? Can you find out clearly?"
"It's Miss Su Qi's younger brother, his name is Fengling." The man said, "The guards of the Princess Mansion wanted to take action. After he took action, the guards of the Princess Mansion were immediately restrained and unable to move. He must be very skilled in martial arts."
The Duke's wife immediately said: "Su Rong has no younger brother."
This person was also stunned. Yes, Miss Su Qi has no brothers, only one brother and six concubines.
The Duke's wife felt that there was a difference in Su Rong's identity, and it was not necessarily Su Rong. She thought for a moment, and then made a decision and told the coachman, "Let's go to the princess's residence."
No matter what, she had to go and have a look, see the woman, and confirm whether she was Su Rong. Even if it's not, it doesn't matter. If it is, you have to figure out what's going on.
So, the carriage continued to drive towards the princess's mansion, and soon arrived at the princess's mansion.
The Duke's wife got off the carriage, and her entourage immediately went to knock on the door of the princess's mansion.
The doorman of the Princess Mansion opened the door and saw that it was the Duke's wife. He quickly greeted her and sent someone to report to the mansion.
Although the quarrel between the Princess Mansion and the Duke's Mansion was ugly and harmonious, the Princess Mansion's wife came to visit in person, and the gatekeeper of the Princess Mansion still didn't dare to neglect it.
Princess Qingping was having dinner with her consort. The consort had heard that her daughter had brought Su Rong back as a guest and arranged for her to stay in his yard. He was also shocked.
After hearing Princess Qingping repeat Duan Hua's original words, the prince-in-law thought thoughtfully and said to Princess Qingping, "If that's true, it's a good thing."
Princess Qingping looked at the consort, "Why is this such a good thing?"
The consort sighed, "We all know Duan Hua's temperament. She can't just watch Zhou Gu marry someone else. If Zhou Gu and Su Rong get married smoothly, she will definitely make a fuss with her temper, and she might do something. What happened? If Su Rong is really here to break off the engagement, this will be a good thing for Duan Hua. At least, she will not do anything stupid again for the time being. "
"Even if Zhou Gu doesn't marry Su Rong, he will marry someone else. In my opinion, Duanhua can't force him." Princess Qingping clearly saw how Zhou Gu disliked Duanhua, and she was extremely annoyed by Zhou Gu. What's wrong with her daughter? Zhou Gu was blind.
The consort said, "Although I say so, at least if this marriage is really abandoned, Zhou Gu may not find someone else in a short period of time, and there won't be a big fuss."
Qingping had indeed been troubled by his daughter in recent years. Hearing this, he still admitted what the consort said and nodded, "That's right."
The consort said again: "Now that people have moved in, just listen to Duan Hua and treat him with courtesy! Su Xu, the governor of Jiangzhou, was promoted by the prince. This person is still somewhat capable, otherwise he would not thank him After Yuan stayed in Jiangning County to help him and would not be transferred to Jiangzhou, Xie Yuan still followed him to Jiangzhou. Now it can be said that he has been counted as a member of the East Palace camp. Although the eldest prince and the second prince
The commotion is fierce, but it is still unclear who will win in the future. You must not be confused, because Duan Hua has turned against the Duke Protector's Office and turned to them. "
Qingping gave the consort an angry look, "I'm not stupid. The prince has a deep foundation. Haven't you noticed that I haven't dared to provoke him all these years? No matter which of the emperor's sons takes the throne, I am their biological aunt. As long as I don't provoke them, They won’t yell at me to kill me.”
"You're right to think so." The prince-in-law was very pleased and smiled.
Qingping looked at the prince-in-law's smile and was stunned, and suddenly asked him: "Do you still blame me?"
The prince-in-law made a move, "Why do you blame me?"
Qingping felt a little embarrassed, "I forced you to be my consort back then."
The prince-in-law didn't answer.
What happened back then has always been a thorn in the side of their couple. Back then, he didn't have Zhou Gu's background, and he couldn't resist His Majesty's imperial edict. In addition, Qingping was making trouble, which exhausted him and made him Even if he wanted to resist, he was powerless, and his parents were the only son, and he couldn't really die. He could only feel sorry for his fiancée, so he broke the engagement of his fiancée, whom he had been engaged to since childhood, and married Princess Qingping.
Weird? At the beginning, it was indeed strange. Not only was it strange, but there was also some hatred in my heart.
Qingping's face darkened and he stopped talking. She knew very well what she had done. Back then, she was even worse than Duanhua today. She was a noble princess, and her brother was the current majesty. How could she be willing to like her? People watch him marry someone else? She insists on forcing, she must force, so what if he doesn't like her? She is a princess, why can't she marry the person she likes?
Even though her reputation was not good because of this, there was an uproar in the capital saying that she had a bad marriage, and the Yushitai's excerpts flew into the imperial brother's study room like snowflakes to impeach her. She smashed everything in the room behind her back, and then hid in the house. She cried secretly, but even so, she didn't want to let go, so she even threatened death to get him.
She admitted that she was stubborn in her bones, and Duan Hua did follow her.
The prince-in-law raised his eyes to look at Qingping, took her sadness into his eyes, sighed, and said, "Don't you have any idea how I have treated you after all these years? Why are you asking me this?"
Qingping suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the consort.
The prince-in-law said: "You just like me too much. If you are wrong, I am also wrong. Who let me happen to be seen by you? In addition to forcing me, you don't have too bad intentions. You were able to give out one hundred thousand taels in the first place. Yinzi, I emptied all my savings to compensate my cousin. After I found out later, I won’t blame you anymore.”
Qingping was stunned, "You, when did you know about this?"
The prince-in-law said: "After you and I get married."
Qingping was shocked, "Did you know it so early? But after so many years, you often treat me coldly. Are you not blaming me?"
The prince-in-law was helpless, "You and I have some differences in temperament. You are always making trouble without reason. Why can't I be cold-faced?"
Qingping blushed a little, "The colder you are to me, the angrier I get. I thought you always blamed me, I..."
The prince-in-law looked at her and wanted to laugh, "Didn't I figure it out later? With your temperament, you take soft things rather than hard ones, and you are sincere, so I can't turn a blind eye to it for a long time. Okay, let's do this. My son has passed away, my daughter has grown up, what else do you want to mention?"
Qingping felt happy, "If I never ask you, will you never tell me?"
The prince consort said, "I thought you knew."
"If you don't tell me, how would I know?" Princess Qingping's face visibly brightened, and then she became depressed again, "Just because you often treat me coldly, do you know what people outside are saying about me now? That day When I entered the palace, my aunt scolded me all over my face, saying that I forced myself on you, and asked me if I lived a happy life? Do I feel at ease? I couldn't refute a word."
She was really angry at that time, but she had to admit that what Princess Sheng'an said was true. After returning home, the prince-in-law also went to the office and asked her what was going on. She was very sad and did not give him a good look. She only said that from now on, she and the Duke Protector's Palace were at odds with each other.
Of course she couldn't tell him
How come she was scolded by her aunt, and the things she did still make her unable to hold her head up.
The prince-in-law apologized, "Sorry, it's my fault."
Although she has a bad temper, she really has nothing to say to him. Even if she often makes him angry and cold-faced, she is not intolerant of coldness. She insists on making peace with him for at least one day, and he They would also be so entangled by her that they couldn't help but forgive her. As time went by, it would take three days of beatings and two days would be good, so that outsiders could always watch them fight and make a fuss.
Qingping almost cried when he heard this.
See you tomorrow~
