Su Rong didn't know what to say.
That day, she sat in front of the fire making tea for a long time, until her legs were numb from sitting, and then she figured it out.
With the idea of taking good care of herself and Zhou, she insisted on going her own way and called off the marriage to him regardless of his objections. She was extremely tough and domineering, extremely cold-blooded and ruthless, and extremely heartless. She thought she had done nothing wrong, but they just met each other. It's only a month, a few meager feelings, can be used as food? Can it kill you? Therefore, she left no escape route for herself, and after meeting Ye Guixue, she left no room for regret, and decisively accepted the military talisman he handed over.
She strode forward, taking a path that deviated from Zhou Gu's, and never thought about getting into any more entanglements with him.
Therefore, when Zhou Gu looked at her with a depressed, depressed and suffering voice, hoarse voice, and red eyes, she realized belatedly that maybe she was wrong.
She underestimated herself and overestimated Zhou Gu.
She took her heartlessness to the extreme, but she forgot about that young man. He was a piece of rough jade. Before going to Jiangning County, he had been staying in the East Palace to study with him. He read the books of sages and learned the principles of governing the country. In his heart, he He has great ambitions, but when it comes to his children's relationship, it's a blank slate. How can he stand up to her little calculations and temptations?
Therefore, her few strokes looked like random scribblings to her, but to him, they were indelible ink stains.
She ruined a person's future, is she responsible for him?
But how is she responsible?
She looked at Ye Guixue and was silent for a while, then said softly: "Because of Zhou Gu, but not entirely because of him."
Every time she faced Zhou Gu, she would have a vague thought that she didn't dare to come forward. If she had known it earlier... If she had known it earlier...
If she had known that Zhou Gu couldn't let go of her, would she have decisively accepted Ye Guixue's tiger talisman?
Probably not.
If not, is it too late to correct it?
Ye Guixue's face turned slightly pale, "What did Young Master Zhou do? Make you change your mind about your choice and feel regret? What did I do that wasn't good enough?"
Su Rong shook his head and said frankly: "Guixue, you are very good. To me, you are suitable in every possible way. In terms of reputation, you are famous all over the world. In terms of character, you are one of the best. Regardless of origin, status, ability, or family background, you are the best." They are all my best choices to go to Nanchu. What's more, there are one hundred thousand soldiers and horses who are willing to give me a betrothal gift. When I first met you, I knew clearly that as long as I am not stupid, I should accept your Tiger Talisman. You and I have been together for such a long time, and you can feel it. When I received your Tiger Talisman, I was determined, and I was very sincere in getting along with you."
Once the words are spoken, they become easy to say.
She met Ye Guixue's eyes and sighed helplessly, "But even if my heart is as hard as iron and as solid as ice, I can't help but want to be soft to someone. As long as he stands in front of me and looks at his I can't help but feel soft. Now if I treat it as a small thing and don't take it seriously, it may become a big deal in the future. I can't imagine that one day, I can't help but follow him crazy and get hurt. It hurts others."
She was deeply helpless, "In that case, he will be the target of public criticism, and I will be accused of betrayal. Therefore, I cannot allow that one day in the future, Zhou Gu will be criticized by thousands of people, and I will be reviled by thousands of people."
Ye Guixue vaguely understood, "Master Zhou, he..."
Su Rong nodded and said sincerely: "He can't let me go. He would rather give up the careful training given to him by the old Protector and the Eastern Palace, and give up his future career as an assistant to the prince. He plans to follow me to Nanchu, and he has made up his mind. Even ten cows can’t pull it back.”
Ye Guixue pursed her lips.
"He said he wouldn't harm me and you, and just wanted to accompany me and help me, but how could I bear it?" Su Rong twisted her fingers, and her finger bones turned red. She said helplessly: "That person Zhou Gu, In fact, I am very arrogant and arrogant at heart. Even though I know that you and I are engaged, I still do things that I cannot and cannot do. Even I feel that it is shameful and contrary to my upbringing. How can I remain indifferent? I am not a person. A good man, I have been assassinated countless times since I was young. I thought I was invincible and there was nothing I couldn't let go of. But, he had this ability to make me soften."
She rubbed her brow bones hard and her forehead turned red. She continued: "Gui Xue, I am a very bastard, very mercenary and reckless. I told you that I am not a good person. I have been doing this for so long. , you should have also seen that for my opponents, the eldest prince and others, I can take advantage of others, and I can kill without changing my expression. As for my relatives, I have bullied my brother and several sisters since childhood. If I were to do anything else, As a person, if you are not standing in front of me, I will probably use you to the end, use you to return to Nanchu, use you to secure the position of crown prince, use you to clear all obstacles, and then use you to sit on the throne, and then, after using it, I will Throw it away. Anyway, I have a black heart and a black lung. But now, the person standing in front of me is you. You are so good, and I can’t bear to let you down with any nastiness. So, I want to be honest with you, and at the same time, I want to discuss with you, you Looking at the two of us, do we have another option besides being a couple?"
Ye Guixue looked at Su Rong. The girl in front of her had sincere eyes and her frank words showed that she really spoke from the bottom of her heart and had thought deeply before she came to him and said such words.
These words were unexpected and made him feel uncomfortable.
From the age of thirteen to eighteen, he spent five years preparing to be her husband every day. But she never thought that she wouldn't need it.
He is overconfident.
He whispered: "Returning my military talisman is equivalent to canceling my engagement?"
Su Rong nodded, "That's what I mean. After all, you and I only exchanged tokens and never signed a marriage contract."
"There is no possibility that a sensible person like you, with a little affection, is nothing more than Yunyan in your eyes. No matter how much Young Master Zhou has done for you, you are still extremely calm. You know what you want and will not go crazy with him. There won't be the day you imagined. And he must be immature now, and he will give up after long-term efforts to no avail." Ye Guixue looked at her, "Or, is there a possibility that he is just a young man now? , I have an unstable temperament. I like you now and can't let you go, but I am unwilling to cause trouble. Maybe one day, when I seek perfection, I won't cherish you anymore."
Su Rong did not refute this and nodded, "Maybe it's all possible, but none of us know that in the future, what you said is possible and what I said is possible."
Ye Guixue nodded, pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she discussed with Su Rong, "Do you think this is okay? I promise to break off the engagement, and you can take the military talisman. I will report it to the King Ming and my father, but don't tell Zhou Fourth Young Master. You give Young Master Zhou a chance, and you also give me a chance. If you can be soft-hearted to someone, can you also be more soft-hearted?"
After he finished speaking, he said softly: "As a condition, I will go back and persuade my father. The Ye family will still support you, and I will only obey your orders."
