At Jiangzhou Governor's Office, Su Xu has received a letter saying that his wife is coming back. This is good news. The old protector, Princess Sheng'an, and the Duke's wife are all coming to Jiangzhou with them, which is also good news. But they couldn't stay for a few days before they had to leave, heading to Nanchu. This is bad news for him.
He also wants to go to Nanchu.
But as the governor of Jiangzhou and an official of the imperial court, he couldn't leave.
He sighed, "I should have known I would quit this job."
The aunts looked at their master, no one comforted them, they were all thinking, why don't they follow the eldest lady to Nanchu to have a look? I don’t know if Madam wants to go there, whether she will take her with her, or whether she will be an eyesore to her. Anyway, the eldest son will take care of the daughters.
After Su Xu sighed, he glanced at his concubine's room and said angrily: "I can't even go, so don't even think about it. What's going on if you just leave me at home?"
The aunts knew that the master would not be able to pass this test, and when they looked at each other, they were all a little embarrassed, thinking that the eldest lady was the best, or else she was the eldest lady that the master was marrying, and they didn't care about their son's marriage. I went with Xiao Qi. It would be great if they could leave just like that.
"You guys just wait with me! Let's go together when I resign." Su Xu's face tightened. "Except for my wife, I can't control her. None of you are allowed to go."
The aunts secretly rolled their eyes, no, no one should think about it.
Ten days later, the eldest lady and her party returned to Jiangzhou, and the old protector and others visited the governor's mansion.
Su Xu quickly went out of the house to greet them, greeting them one by one, "Old Protector of the Country, the Eldest Princess, and the Duke's Wife."
The old Protector looked at Su Xu and patted him on the shoulder, "Su Xu, you are the luckiest."
Su Xu smiled cateringly, "That's what the old man said."
He invited a large number of people to come into the mansion and settle down. In the evening of the same day, a banquet was held in the Governor's Mansion to wash away the dust of everyone.
After the banquet, the eldest lady returned to the courtyard where she lived. Su Xu chased after her, "Oh, madam, please walk slower and wait for me."
The eldest lady glanced at him and said, "Why can't you use your legs and feet?"
"Isn't it true that the old man has a good drinking capacity, and my husband has drunk too much?" Su Xu was a little drunk, "Madam, how many days will you stay at home?"
"Listen to my old master, if you treat me well, I'll stay for ten days and a half. If you don't treat me well, I'll stay for three to five days!" said the doctor.
Su Xu immediately said: "Then we must entertain you well. There are many interesting places in Jiangzhou, ten days and a half is no problem."
He walked a few steps quickly and grabbed the eldest lady, "Madam, you have been gone for so long, do you miss me?"
The eldest lady said hard-heartedly: "I didn't think so."
What's there to think about for an old thing? The young and handsome young men in the capital are dazzling. Even at her age, she looks at them all with pleasure. How can she have time to think about him?
Su Xu felt aggrieved, "Madam, I miss you so much."
"You can go away!" The eldest lady curled her lips, "I didn't see you missing me when I was young. Don't say this when you are old."
"Oh, madam, I really miss you, Xiaoqi. Woohoo..." Su Xu hugged the eldest lady, his eyes were red, "You all left one by one, and that little bastard Xiaoqi also left. If you don't write to me, it's like you don't have a father."
After hearing this, the eldest lady was satisfied and said proudly: "She actually sent me a few letters. As expected, she likes me the most as a mother."
Su Xu was jealous, "Madam, why? When you are at home, you are your strict mother, and I am a loving father."
The eldest lady said rudely: "Maybe she thinks that you have aunts who take turns taking care of you, so you don't need to think about it. But I am in the capital to take care of my daughters' marriages, and I am alone. I think I should miss me more and feel sorry for me, right?"
Su Xu was heartbroken and said after a while: "Madam, thank you for your hard work."
"Hurry up and let go, I'm tired." The eldest lady pushed him, "You're old, don't be so tired."
Su Xu sighed, "Madam, what do you think your heart is made of? Is it made of stone? Hey, for so many years, I haven't been able to warm your heart."
The eldest lady curled her lips and said, "It's enough for the aunts to be gentle and petty. What you want is a real wife. I won't do anything to warm my heart."
Su Xu had no choice but to hold her hand and follow her to her residence, "I tell you, you are not allowed to go to Nanchu and then not come back, and you are not allowed to make peace with me, and you are not allowed to go to Nanchu and let me go." That little bastard Xiao Qi will find another one for you."
The eldest lady was shocked, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did I give you the illusion that I wanted to divorce you?"
Su Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay if it doesn't happen."
The eldest lady was speechless, "I think you really drank too much."
Su Xu sighed, "Yes, I drank too much. I also want to go to Nanchu. I want to resign."
The eldest lady rolled her eyes, "The prince said that you can work for another ten years, so just grit your teeth and hold on!"
Su Xu: "..."
It's really more depressing.
Su Rong received a letter from the eldest lady, and Zhou Gu also received a letter from his grandfather. The two of them sat under the lamp and read the letters together. The letter all contained the same content: they had already set off, and they were walking slowly along the way. In two or three months, they would finally reach Nanchu.
Su Rong sighed, "It will take another two or three months. I miss my mother."
Zhou Gu also sighed, "That little guy Zhou Rui is here too."
"Who is Zhou Rui?" Su Rong asked.
"He is the nephew of the eldest brother, his name is Zhou Rui." Zhou Gu looked at her and remembered that when they were in Daliang, they had been breaking off their engagement. She and the Protector of the Country did not move around much at that time, unless necessary. Don't come to the door. There are only a few people in the house who are familiar with each other. They have been there a few times, but they probably haven't encountered her sister-in-law bringing Zhou Rui close to her, so they don't know her.
Thinking back to the beginning, Zhou Gu felt a little depressed. If he didn't insist on shamelessly, her position as king's concubine would really have nothing to do with him.
"Oh, my eldest brother's little nephew." Su Rong was not impressed and looked at him, "What's your expression? Why are you sighing? Aren't you just a child?"
"A crying child." Zhou Gu emphasized.
Su Ronxiao, "It's normal for children to cry."
"He's still making a fuss."
"A noisy child proves to be intelligent."
"Okay." Zhou Gu was speechless and stretched out his arms to hug her, "No wonder you like that brat Cui Yanjin. It seems that anyone who is young is cute in your eyes."
Su Rong pinched Zhou Gu's face and said, "How sad it would be for your nephew to know that your uncle is not happy for him to come. Stop acting like this. You are a mature adult now."
Zhou Gu muttered, "Immature."
He rubbed Su Rong's face and neck and whispered: "I feel uncomfortable when I think of you breaking off our engagement. Why are you so cruel?"
Su Rong quickly admitted her mistake, "I was wrong, and I wasn't too cruel. My heart was bleeding at the beginning, really. Don't be depressed, be good."
Zhou Gu hummed lightly and took the opportunity to demand, "Go to bed later, be good and let me do whatever I want."
Su Rong: "..."
What kind of bad guy is this?
