Chapter 153 Pentagram (one more)
The Duke’s wife returned to the Duke Protector’s mansion and went straight to Princess Sheng’an’s yard.
In Princess Sheng'an's room, the wives of the mansion gathered. They all heard that Su Rong was robbed by Princess Duanhua and taken to the Princess Mansion.
After waiting for more than half an hour, when the Duke’s wife came back, everyone immediately asked: "How is it? Is it true that Miss Su Qi was robbed by Princess Duanhua and taken to the Princess Mansion? Can she be rescued?"
The Duke’s wife snorted, "It’s not robbery, it’s the little girl Xiaoqi who voluntarily followed Duanhua to the Princess Mansion as a guest."
Everyone said "Ah?"
Mrs. Guogong hurriedly told everyone what Su Rong had told her. After she finished speaking, seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, she smiled and said: "That's it. Who would have thought that she would really like to go because the hibiscus cake in the Princess Mansion is delicious. As for Duanhua, she really packed up two rooms in her own yard for her to live in, and even asked the cook in the mansion to cook a table of good food. When I went, she was eating, and she was eating happily. Happy. Princess Qingping is also very talkative today, and this is the first time I saw her so talkative, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, and she didn't say a bad word, and she laughed when she saw me, almost made me laugh."
Princess Sheng'an: "..."
Ladies: "..."
Worrying in vain!
Princess Sheng An confirmed again and again, "It's really Su Rong?"
Mrs. Guogong smiled and said: "Yes, mother, it is Su Rong. She showed me her waist card. It's true, it can't be wrong."
Princess Sheng'an wondered, "According to Duanhua's thoughts on Zhou Gu, how could Su Rong persuade Duanhua with just a few words? Is there any other reason for this?"
Mrs. Guogong nodded, "There should be, but the little girl didn't make it clear, and I didn't feel like asking. After all, I'm in the Princess Mansion, so I can only make a long story short, and it's the first time I've seen her, so it's not good to ask too much. I only saw that she was fine, safe and sound, and she was not kidnapped by Duanhua, so I came back first."
After all, Mrs. Duke is not an ordinary person. From Su Rong's brief story, she can naturally hear that the reason why she and Duanhua hit it off is not as simple as she said. After all, she has grown up watching Duanhua. She still knows her temperament. Duanhua's madness towards Zhou Gu, it is impossible for her to see Su Rong and be bought by her with a few words. If Duanhua was so easy to fool, she would not be His Majesty's favorite niece.
The little girl Su Rong is smart, and she must know that she will not trust her words too much. She simply said it very simply, and she just said that she is voluntary and very happy.
Princess Sheng'an nodded, "Since she's fine, let's wait a few days for her to come to our mansion and ask her carefully. It just so happens that Brother Gu will return home after the scientific examination."
This is exactly what Madam Guogong meant.
Princess Sheng'an asked again: "That child, what do you think?"
Mrs. Duke smiled and said, "Excellent."
Princess Sheng'an nods her head, which can make Zhou Gu fall in love with her once she goes there. If she can live in the Princess Mansion, she can resolve the conflict between Qingping's mother and daughter and the Duke Huguo's mansion. It is naturally very good to let the Duke and his wife say something wonderful after meeting.
She smiled and waved to everyone, "Okay, since there is nothing else, let's go!"
Everyone nodded in unison, and left the room of Princess Sheng An one after another.
The Duke’s Madam stayed for a while longer, sitting and talking with Princess Sheng’an, and said in a low voice: "Mother, Xiao Qi looks quite similar to Princess Zhenmin. If someone cares about her appearance, her identity may not be kept secret for long once she looks into it carefully."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an frowned, "How similar is it?"
"At least five points."
Princess Sheng'an put back the smile on her face, "There is no way, if you can't hide it, you can't hide it! When the son returns to the mansion, you remind him to pay close attention to Wei's movements and train his troops. If Wei uses what happened in the past to start a war, we must protect her. At the very least, if we mobilize troops, we can't lose again. Sixteen years have passed, don't be like Zhenmin back then. It's really useless to take up the burden of the big beam."
Mrs. Duke nodded, "Mother, don't worry, Daliang is not what it used to be. Over the years, the national strength has also been restored. The army has never been negligent."
Mrs. Guogong nodded, "What mother said is that this matter needs to be carefully considered and discussed. In short, the child doesn't look like it's okay. We can hide it, but it's a bit like it. She came to Beijing for the first time, and now she hasn't been seen by many people. I don't know if Qingping has doubts.
Princess Sheng'an nodded, "Zhenmin sent a letter back then and said that the child resembles her a little bit. This is one of the reasons why your father hasn't sent anyone to visit Jiangning County in recent years. Now that the children are grown up, it's time to make a good plan."
Mrs. Duke sighed, "I hope His Majesty will remember the love of Princess Zhenmin back then, and don't get confused then."
Princess Sheng An said: "Your Majesty was more like a compatriot to Zhen Min than Qing Ping, a younger sister. But now that Zhen Min has passed away for many years, and now rests on Su Rong, I don't know how much affection there is. But at least before my death, even if he was confused, he didn't dare to go too far."
Mrs. Guo took a breath, "Mother, you are a hundred years old, so don't scare your daughter-in-law by saying this."
Princess Sheng'an took a look at her and waved her hand, "Okay, you haven't had dinner yet, go back to eat quickly, if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
The Duke’s wife responded, stood up and said goodbye.
After the old Duke Hu came back, the Duke and his wife had already left, and only Princess Sheng'an sat cross-legged on the kang waiting for him.
Old Duke naturally also heard the rumors outside, and asked Princess Sheng'an what happened? Is it really Su Rong?
Princess Sheng'an nodded, and repeated what the Duke's wife had brought back.
The old man opened his eyes wide after hearing this, and after a while, he was amused, "That little girl is amazing."
Whoever heard that Su Rong lived in the Princess Mansion like this, and was treated as a guest, isn't it amazing?
Princess Sheng An said: "The eldest daughter-in-law guesses that there may be some other reason. It's not that simple. I think so. I guess it should have something to do with Zhou Gu. Otherwise, mother and daughter Qingping can't treat her so heartily."
The old man blew on his beard, "Did that little girl say she won't marry Zhou Gu so that Duanhua can rest assured? That's why she was warmly received by Duanhua?"
Princess Sheng An was taken aback, "Is this impossible?"
The old man has fought wits and courage with others all his life, and in addition, he sent someone to find out about Su Rong's growth recently. He got some news about her since she was a child.
Princess Sheng An stared, "What are you talking about? What's wrong with my grandson?"
Old Duke sat down and said, "That little girl Duanhua, you can also say that she is crazy, otherwise how can you hold her? In my opinion, there are nine out of ten chances."
The more Princess Sheng'an thought about it, the more reasonable she became, and she sat up straight, "How can this be done?"
She thought about what to do if Su Rong and Zhou Gu couldn't get along? But I never thought that if Zhou Gu was willing to marry, what would happen if Su Rong didn't marry?
"Don't worry, I'm just guessing like this, and it may not be accurate. Didn't the little girl of the Su family say that she would come to visit the mansion in a few days? Just wait a few days, wait for her to come, and see what she says." The old man was calm.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an can only suppress her thoughts for the time being, and talk to the old man about Su Rong's appearance, "The eldest daughter-in-law said that she looks very similar, at least five points. It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it."
Now she lives in the princess mansion, even if she can't go to the princess mansion, she must be allowed to walk around in front of others, and hide people from being seen.
The old man was prepared in his heart, "There is no other way. If we are exposed, we will be exposed. We are not completely unprepared. The big deal is that if Da Wei quits because of the past and breaks the peace treaty, we will start fighting with Da Wei. The old man doesn't believe it. This time we can't beat Da Wei again."
Princess Sheng'an also meant the same thing, "There is also King Nanchu..."
"Let's take a step and see!" The old man has no better idea now, "We will talk about it after we meet that little girl first."
Princess Sheng'an nodded. Indeed, they haven't seen anyone yet, so it's hard to say anything.
