Chapter 101 Intention (one more)
The eldest lady whispered, "Are you crazy? What's wrong with Zhou Gu? You want to call off the engagement?"
Su Rong sighed, it wasn't that Zhou Gu was bad, but it was really good. She said: "After thinking about it, I still feel that we are not suitable."
"Why isn't it suitable?" Da Furen asked.
"The temperament of the two of us, our family background, and our future path." Su Rong emphasized the last point, and said seriously: "Mother, Uncle Xie also thinks the same as me, and thinks that we are not suitable."
The lady had a lot of things to say, but when she heard Su Rong say that Xie Yuan had the same thoughts as hers, all the words choked up in her throat. If it was just Su Rong's own thoughts, she thought this girl was crazy, and she must scold her. Where can I find such a good marriage? But if Xie Yuan also supports it, she really can't scold her anymore.
She looked at Su Rong, choked, and said: "How nice Zhou Gu is. He is the youngest son of a high-ranking mansion. He is loved by thousands of people, but his education is better than the descendants of the family. How rare. If you let him go, it will be difficult to find him like this."
Su Rong nodded, "I know."
The eldest lady was angry, "You know you still..."
Su Rong sighed, "Mother, my life experience is destined to make me unable to drink enough water." She glanced at herself still wrapped in a rice dumpling, "Zhou Gu has his way to go, and I have my own way to go. No matter how you look at it now, we can't get together. Why bother to get into trouble and put the future in a dilemma?"
The eldest lady is not a stupid person. Hearing what Su Rong said, although she didn't speak clearly, she understood it, and she was speechless for a while.
Su Rong smiled at her, "Mother, it's no big deal. I am a person. You keep saying that I am heartless. You are right. I am not a person who takes the relationship between a man and a woman too seriously. Zhou Gu and I haven't reached that point yet. It's not too late to get out in time."
Seeing that Da Furen's complexion was not good, she changed her voice, and said again: "You only saw Zhou Guhao, and you saw that the Duke Huguo's Mansion is good, but can you think about it, one day in the future, my biological father will send someone to pick me up, and I will restore my status, so there are plenty of sons to choose from, right? How can there be no better ones?"
The eldest lady was laughed angrily, and pointed at Su Rong, "Did you say this from the bottom of your heart?"
"Naturally."
The eldest lady stared at her, seeing her indifferent face, the dissatisfaction in her heart dissipated a lot, and she said angrily: "You can count the unmarried young men who can be called famous in the world, Zhou Gu is one of them. If you don't fight for anything, give up before you do anything. If you regret it in the future, there is no place to cry."
"No." Su Rong shook her head, "I regret that I admit it too."
At least it's better than knowing that there is an abyss in front of her, and jumping down with a single tendon, harming others and herself, and trapping others in injustice.
Seeing that she was so resolute, the eldest lady had obviously made up her mind, and she didn't know what to say for a while, "Forget it, you can retreat if you want! I heard from your father that it was your mother who asked for the marriage of the Duke Hu's mansion back then. Now that you voluntarily withdraw, the Duke of Huguo will not embarrass you."
"Yes." Su Rong nodded, "The old Duke Huguo's mansion has a noble character, so he shouldn't make things difficult for me."
"What about Zhou Gu?" The eldest lady felt that Zhou Gu was good, so it was a pity to call off his marriage.
"Zhou Guying won't either." Su Rong said: "When he first came to Jiangning, he saw me, and he was a little bit disgusted. Later, I didn't see him disgusting, but I didn't see him liking me that much."
After all, that day, she tested him and asked him to hug him, but he didn't agree. Even if she has never eaten pork, she has seen pigs running. That's not how he likes a person.
Also, when she sent him away that day, she didn't see how reluctant he was to part with her. I can only say that his attitude towards her should be that he doesn't object to her marrying him, but he likes her, which is out of the question.
The eldest lady thought about it carefully, and she really felt that Zhou Gu treated Su Rong, except for asking her twice to tell her not to be too strict with Su Rong, the rest of the time, there was no difference. The two of them were more like playmates.
The eldest lady is someone who has experienced it. Since the two of them don't have much love, Su Rong's resignation should not hurt Zhou Gu. So, she nodded, "It's as long as you have a plan in your heart. Anyway, it's your own business. You have been big-minded since you were a child, and I can't control you. Even if you want to cry when you regret it in the future, you'd better cry secretly. Don't let me see you."
The eldest lady laughed and scolded, "You have to show some face!"
After she finished cursing, she said reluctantly: "Zhou Gu brought you a gift to congratulate you on getting married. Since you want to divorce someone, you have to return it."
Su Rong nodded, "It should be returned."
"I asked your elder brother to take it? Did you return it for you?" the eldest lady asked.
Su Rong shook his head, "No, I will pay it myself, and Zhou Gu will also take part in this year's scientific examination. I plan to wait until the results of the scientific examination are announced, and then go to the door to retire. Although he may not be sad, it is best not to affect him."
The eldest lady sighed, "Originally, I have prepared a return gift for the Duke Huguo's mansion. When your elder brother comes to Beijing, he should visit his in-laws at the Duke Huguo's mansion. But now that you are going to retire, it is not appropriate for your elder brother to come again, right?"
Su Rong shook his head, "Let my eldest brother still carry the gift you prepared for the Duke Huguo's mansion, and walk around as a relative. After all, my elder brother will inevitably trouble the Duke Huguo's mansion when he returns to Beijing. I will handle the divorce by myself, so I don't need my elder brother to worry too much. Let him concentrate on scientific research."
The eldest lady nodded, "Success. It would be best not to have a bad relationship. If it is a bad relationship..."
When the lady said this, she paused and shook her head, thinking that what Su Rong said was right, "The Palace of the Protector of the Country will never be there."
Three days passed by in a hurry for ordinary people, but for Su Rong who was recuperating in bed, it really felt like years. She has never suffered such a serious injury since she was a child, and it is inconvenient everywhere.
Dr. He from Huichun Hall came to change the dressing every day, with Nanny Zhao watching over her, Su Rong was recuperating in an orderly manner, and three days later, when Su Xing was about to leave, Su Rong could barely get out of bed.
Su Xing came to see Su Rong early in the morning, and was very relieved to see that she was able to get out of bed, "Seventh Sister's injury is recovering well."
Su Rong gave Mammy Zhao a credit, "Mommy took good care of her."
Mother Zhao laughed beside her, "Miss Seven is behaving well."
Su Xing thanked, "Thank you for your hard work, mother."
Mother Zhao shook her head again and again and said that it was not hard work. Knowing that the brother and sister had something to say, she retired by making medicine for Su Rong.
After Mother Zhao went down, Su Xing looked at Su Rong and asked her, "I heard from my mother that you want to divorce?"
Su Rong nodded, "Yes."
Su Xing looked at her, "Have you figured it out?"
Su Rong nodded again.
Su Xing was silent for a moment, "Zhou Gu is very nice, it would be a pity if you called off his marriage."
Su Rong raised his eyebrows, "Brother, do you want to persuade me?"
Su Xing shook his head, "I didn't want to persuade you, I thought you were too different from Zhou Gu's lintel, and it was not suitable. But since I met Zhou Gu, I think you complement each other. But now I know your life experience, based on the current situation, if you really marry Zhou Gu, it will be troublesome for the Duke of the Protectorate, but it will be beneficial to you. After all, the Duke of the Protector is a great help. This reliance, after all, the queen of Nanchu and the Nangong family are too powerful, as well as the Nanchu clan..."
"The Duke of the Huguo's House has been a general for a hundred years, loyal to Daliang, and it is wrong if he can't do his job. It's not because I am so great that I have to think for the Duke of the Protector's House. And Zhou Gu, you also said that he is very good. Because he is very good, I can't drag him into the quagmire and let him get into trouble. The Duke's Palace has already paved the way for him. He only needs to protect the crown prince all the way. In the future, it is bound to be prosperous and smooth. And what about me? The future is hard to say."
"Also, my mother spent so much effort back then, ruining her own life and saving the beam. As her daughter, shouldn't I destroy the Great Wall of the beam even if I don't share her ambition? A look. I cooperate with the prince, that's enough."
