The Duke's wife looked at Zhou Gu. She actually wanted to say, so what if you fall from the throne of the Duke Protector's house? So what if you become someone who has no regard for propriety, justice, and integrity? A person lives only one life, and a hundred years pass by in a hurry. Why should he be burdened by shackles? She was burdened by the shackles back then. Before her husband left, he didn't even say a word about leaving him to go to the battlefield, but he didn't say anything about his identity and responsibility. As a result, she could not sleep alone for many years and regretted her life. The yin and yang were separated, and they would never see each other again.
She had suffered the pain of lovesickness and was tired of shackles, so she didn't want his son to be like her.
She wanted him to follow the path he wanted to take. No matter whether he would be famous forever or be criticized by future generations, he would just do what he was willing to do and live his whole life without being wronged.
But she didn't dare to say this. She was afraid that she would be suspected of instigating Zhou Gu, and her son would be harmed if he painted a tiger instead of a dog.
She said softly: "Well, you... try to control it as much as possible!"
She just said try her best. If she couldn't control it, there was nothing she could do.
Zhou Gu suddenly stood up and squatted in front of the Duke's wife like he did when he was a child. He held her knees with both hands and put his head on her knees. "Mother, Su Rong is really good, isn't she?"
The Duke's wife smiled and said, "Yes, my son has good taste."
Zhou Gu also smiled and said softly: "I can see her goodness, you can see her goodness, and others can also see her goodness."
He continued: "I met Ye Guixue and dealt with him several times. The first time was at Chengguo Duke's Mansion. I kicked in and out of the door and saw him with the eldest prince and the second prince. The prince and others dealt with each other with ease. The second time I saw him was when I was riding home, and he took a car to pick up Su Rong from Shen's Mansion. He was calm and distant, but polite. The third time I saw him was at the Great Buddha Temple. In the back mountain, he and Su Rong each took a big basket and came out of the mountain forest. The basket was filled with mushrooms that they had stepped on. The second son of Nan Chu Ye Xiangfu was famous all over the world. His hand in writing articles was not as good as his own. Doing things that are inconsistent with his status, standing with Su Rong, there is no sense of disobedience. The fourth time I met him was when Fengling, on Su Rong's order, invited He Zheng and I to go to the Great Buddha Temple. When we stayed in the courtyard to have a meal, he smiled gently and spoke casually, without any direct reference to me. He was a very comfortable and measured person."
After he finished speaking, he said softly: "Mother, he is worthy of being the husband trained by the King of Southern Chu for Su Rong. He is really suitable in every way. Although my son is not ashamed in front of him, compared to the days when I went to Jiangning County and spent time with Su Rong , He is arrogant about his status, reserved in temperament, and has an awkward temper. There is really no way to compare with him."
The Duke's wife touched his head and said, "You have this kind of temperament. There is no need to compare with others. Su Rong broke off the engagement with you not because you two have different temperaments, but because you were born in the Duke Protector's Palace. She and Ye Gui Xue is engaged now because she is the princess of Nan Chu, and Ye Guixue is the second son of the Prime Minister Ye's Mansion. Not to mention their matching status, the royal family of Nan Chu and the Prime Minister Ye's Mansion reached a monarch-minister agreement early in the morning."
Zhou Gu nodded. His childhood upbringing prevented him from saying, "I really wish I could change with Ye Guixue." He rubbed the Duke's wife's knee and asked, "Mother, tell me, do I have any advantages?"
The Duke's wife sighed in her heart. In terms of looks, Ye Guixue is not inferior to her. In terms of talent and learning, Ye Guixue is famous all over the world. In terms of status and family background, Ye Guixue and Su Rong are more suitable. It can be said that they are a perfect match. In terms of Su Rong's heart, Now she still upholds her identity as Ye Guixue's fiancée and will not do anything contrary to her promise. Her son really has no advantages.
Zhou Gu also knew that he had no advantages. He didn't want to be shameless on the day he wanted to break off the engagement, and now he has no chance.
He whispered: "Mom, during my travels, I want to go to Nanchu."
The Duke's wife happily agreed, "Okay, you can go wherever you want."
Zhou Gu smiled and stood up, "Mom, you are tired too, go back and rest!"
The Duke's wife nodded.
Zhou Gu went back to the inner room and lay down on the bed. The Duke's wife saw him sleeping and left Shuanglinyuan.
After Su Rong and Fengling left the Protector's Mansion, they went directly out of the city and headed to the Great Buddha Temple.
After walking a few miles outside the city, a carriage came slowly in front of him. Fengling pointed at Su Rong and said, "Master, do you think this is the carriage of Mr. Ye?"
The horse was ridden back to Beijing, but the car was still the same car.
Su Rong took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Ye Guixue's carriage. She reined in the horse's reins and waited for the carriage to approach. When the coachman saw Su Rong and Fengling, he stopped the coach and informed the people in the car.
Ye Guixue opened the car curtain, looked at Su Rong and Fengling, and smiled slightly, "I thought there was nothing else to do in the Great Buddha Temple, so I found a horse and came back so that you wouldn't be tired and have to make another trip to pick me up. .”
Su Rong also smiled, "Fengling and I are going to pick you up at the Great Buddha Temple."
She handed the horse's reins to Fengling, jumped off the horse, and got into Ye Guixue's carriage. Tell him what he has done from yesterday to today.
After Ye Guixue heard this, he looked her up and down, "Are you injured?"
"No."
Ye Guixue felt relieved, "In such a short period of time, someone couldn't help but attack you again. It can be seen that everyone in Nanchu Dynasty knows what you are capable of and is very afraid of you."
Wave after wave of killers were sent, and they never came back. No matter it was the Nangong family or the Nanchu clan, they might not be able to sit still.
Su Rong nodded, "Send a message back and ask King Nanchu to protect you. If you can't kill me, go after him."
"Don't worry, as long as my father is here, the king will never allow anyone to hurt him before he sees you." Ye Guixue is still very relieved about the King of Nanchu. After all, the King of Nanchu he has seen has known Su Rong's existence, in the past five years, has been invisible to outsiders. She cherishes herself very much and is very tolerant.
Su Rong nodded, "That's good."
Ye Guixue asked again: "How is Young Master Zhou's injury? Is he out of danger now?"
"After last night's danger, there shouldn't be much of a problem today. If the fever breaks out at night, just use the antipyretic prescription from yesterday." Su Rong lowered her voice and said, "It's just a coincidence. I have a collection of books in the Great Buddha Temple. Ge, I saw a medical book, and the ancient prescription for reducing fever was found in that medical book, and it happened to be used by him."
Ye Guixue couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "Young Master Zhou is so lucky."
"That's right." Su Rong also smiled, "It's not in vain that Fengling donated five thousand taels of silver to the Great Buddha Temple. Although this is not kind, the place where the Buddhist gate of the Great Buddha Temple hides rare books is indeed airtight. It is true to preserve rare books, but it cannot benefit others, and it does not count as practicing good deeds in Buddhism. Dr. Xu from the Taiyuan Hospital has obtained the prescription for reducing fever. If Zhou Gu is as dangerous as Zhou Gu in the future, he will not be unable to save him. people."
She asked Ye Guixue, "In this case, Fengling and I have done a good deed?"
Ye Guixue smiled and nodded, "Forget it."
Su Rong pursed her lips and smiled, muttering softly, "It's useless to hide it in the Great Buddha Temple for so many years anyway, so why not give it to me?"
Ye Guixue smiled and nodded, "That's true."
The two talked and returned to the capital.
Arriving in front of Shen's mansion, the coachman stopped the carriage. Ye Guixue said to Su Rongwen Wen: "You still look a little bad. It's obvious that you don't have enough rest. After entering the mansion, go and rest quickly. I will enter the palace tomorrow, I’ll talk to you again.”
Su Rong nodded, "Okay."
She jumped off the carriage and waved to Ye Guixue. Ye Guixue smiled and waved to her before closing the curtain.
The carriage left Shen's mansion.
Fengling followed Su Rong to Shen's mansion and whispered to Su Rong, "Sister, Mr. Ye is so considerate in everything."
There was no need for her to pick him up, so he came back by himself. He didn't look at her coldly and show any dissatisfaction because she rode back to Beijing overnight to rescue Young Master Zhou. It was really appropriate and appropriate.
Su Rong said "Yeah", "He's fine."
When Mrs. Shen learned that Su Rong was back, she hurried out of the yard, saw her face to face, and said repeatedly: "I heard that you went back to Beijing to rescue Zhou Gu last night and suffered several assassinations. How about it? But you were injured?"
Su Rong shook his head, "Not hurt."
Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're not injured. When I heard that, I was so frightened. When I got up early, I wanted to rush to the Protector's Mansion to see you, but your elder brother stopped me. He said that you would be fine. Now when I take a look, it’s really good.”
She looked Su Rong up and down, "How is Zhou Gu? Is he okay?"
"um, I
There happened to be a prescription for reducing fever, which was relatively effective, and he is much better now. "Su Rong took Mrs. Shen's arm and said, "Aunt Lao, you are worried."
Mrs. Shen sighed, "It's good that you are not injured, and Zhou Gu's life is not in danger, otherwise the Duke Protector's Palace will probably explode. The killers who have suffered thousands of blows, one after another, are really endless. You haven’t gone to Nanchu yet. If you go to Nanchu, wouldn’t you be more likely to be assassinated? There will be no peace all day long.”
Speaking of the killer, Su Rong's eyebrows were filled with coldness, "If we go to Nanchu, it's my turn to take care of others. Others can disturb me and I can't live in peace. I can also let others die in peace, so Auntie doesn't have to worry."
Mrs. Shen immediately felt relieved and smiled, "Okay, when the time comes, be more ruthless and never be lenient."
