Chapter 162 Not Retired (Second Update)
The Duke Huguo's mansion is very large, and the servants in the mansion are very well-mannered. When they saw Su Rong, they all saluted and called "Miss Su Qi." Even if it was Su Rong's first visit, they obviously recognized her.
Zhou Gu strode forward, as if his hair was full of anger, without turning his head, walking very fast, as if he didn't think about Su Rong's ability to keep up with him.
Su Rong can naturally keep up, and her footsteps are also very fast. Because she has learned the rules from Nanny Zhao for a long time, even if she walks fast, the steps above her head do not shake much. Because she is not used to wearing jewelry on her body, she does not have the ringing ring that Duanhua walks all the way.
Zhou Gu walked to the study of the old Huguogong. Today, he ignored the etiquette and called "Grandfather" from the outside, and pushed the door in.
The old Huguogong was about to reprimand him for his lack of manners, when he saw Su Rong outside the door, the words came to his lips, and he swallowed them back in an instant. Wrong, I will not withdraw from this marriage. You forced my head to marry me back then, I admit it, but now I don’t want to withdraw, if you press my head again and force me to withdraw, then I will come out of the Duke Protector’s Mansion, and I will never be a descendant of the Duke Protector’s Mansion.”
The old protector's eyes widened.
Su Rong stood at the door, his scalp numb for a moment.
Inside and outside the study, after Zhou Gu finished speaking, there was complete silence.
The old Hu Guogong looked at the marriage letter that Zhou Gu had slapped on the table and said nothing for a while. After Zhou Gu expressed his attitude, he turned back with a sullen face and looked at Su Rong coldly.
Su Rong has made countless assumptions, no matter which time, he felt that Zhou Gu might be angry, unhappy, really want to beat her up, would be extremely sad, and would ask her why, but he never imagined that when things really happened now, he would be like this, not only did not agree to divorce the marriage, but he used all the words that he was no longer a descendant of the Duke Protector's Mansion to force the old Duke Protector to put pressure on him.
This, she really didn't expect.
She stood there blankly, her brain was buzzing for a while, and she was in a daze. After Zhou Gu took the lead, she couldn't even say a word for a while.
The old Huguogong knew his grandson, and he was the first to react, and shouted angrily, "Nonsense!"
With this sound, Zhou Gu didn't respond, but it hit Su Rong outside the door on top of his head.
Su Rong quickly came back to his senses, bit the bullet and stood outside the door to salute, "Junior Su Rong, pay homage to the old Duke."
The old Huguogong stood up, walked to the door, put away the angry look on his face for a moment, smiled gently and kindly, "Little girl, you finally came to the door. Come in!"
Su Rong felt more and more difficult about the kind attitude of the old Hu Guogong who went out to meet her in person, but she managed to calm down and said with a smile: "Your arrival is late, please forgive me."
She didn't explain the reason why she came late. Smart people know that if she doesn't come to the door for so long, it's a signal from her to the Duke Protector's House, so that the Duke Protector's House will be prepared.
But she really didn't expect that Zhou Gu was waiting for her at the gate, and he made a head start and put her down with harsh words.
She has some regrets. According to what Zhou Gu said, he didn't want to marry her in the first place. It was the Jiangning County where the old man forced him to go. Now he wants to marry, but she came to withdraw the engagement. If I had known, she shouldn't have listened to the eldest lady and was too positive when she was in Jiangning County.
"It's not too late." The old Huguo Gong motioned for Su Rong to enter the study, and invited her to take a seat with a smile, as if nothing happened about Zhou Gu's harsh words just now, and he didn't look at the divorce letter on the table, and chatted with her, "I heard that you came to Beijing alone?"
"He also brought guards."
Old Hu Guogong nodded, "On the first day you came to Beijing, you were invited by that little girl Duanhua to the Princess Mansion as a guest?"
"Um."
The old Huguogong smiled and said: "Is it okay to live in the princess mansion for a few days?"
Su Rong also replied with a smile, "Very good. Princess Duanhua's temperament is different from the rumors. She is very easy to coax. The princess is also very kind, and the son-in-law is even more kind. When it comes to food and lodging, most of them are in the princess's Tibetan Pavilion. Together with the princess, the kitchen cooks food in different ways. I really haven't treated you badly."
The old Hu Guogong stroked his beard, "It's rare, you know, the most difficult thing in this capital is the three people in Princess Qingping's mansion. Qingping has an irritable temper, somewhat bullying, not easy to get along with, so you can't call him an amiable person. Although the son-in-law looks like a mild-tempered person, he is not really gentle. He is very successful in her belly. As for Duanhua, that little girl has inherited Qingping's temperament, and she can't stop her from playing crazy. It is really rare for you to have these three people warmly entertain you in the Princess Mansion."
Su Rong was embarrassed, "This is the first time I came to Beijing, and I heard some rumors about Princess Qingping's Mansion before, but I really didn't expect that getting favored by Princess Qingping's Mansion would be even better."
The topic came back just like that.
In this short period of time, Su Rong has calmed down and relaxed, thinking that he is indeed the old Huguogong, really amazing.
She nodded and said truthfully: "When the princess stopped me that day, I said that I came to Beijing to withdraw from the engagement. She didn't believe me at first, but seeing my sincerity, she believed it. I didn't plan to live in the princess mansion. It was me and my guard who were greedy for the hibiscus cakes in the princess mansion, so I invited myself to live in the princess mansion. It was really an accident."
When she said this, Zhou Gu, who was sitting beside her, looked even colder.
Old Hu Guogong nodded, there was no change on his face, and he said with a smile: "You have lived in the Princess Mansion for so many days, but Qingping and Duanhua still want you to divorce the engagement?"
Su Rong thought in her heart that every question the old Duke asked was straight to the point. She shook her head truthfully, "Princess Qingping vaguely said that even if she doesn't retire, she won't make things difficult for me. Princess Duanhua even dragged me for a few days to make me think carefully, otherwise I should come to the door the next day after the scientific examination."
Zhou Gu Wenyan's eyes became colder.
The old Hu Guogong looked at the marriage letter, "Girl, so you have considered it?"
Su Rong nodded.
"It has nothing to do with the Princess Mansion?"
"It doesn't matter."
"What about now?" The old protector looked at her kindly, and then glanced at his grandson's face that was so cold, "You just heard what my unworthy grandson said, can you think about it again and change your mind?"
Su Rong was silent.
The old Huguogong was not in a hurry, "At the beginning, he wanted to enter the military camp, and I forced him to follow the text. This is the first. I made a marriage contract with your mother, but he disagreed, but I forced his head. I ordered him to marry you, so he went to Jiangning County to cultivate feelings with you. This is the second. The so-called, there is no reason again and again. Now you come to divorce, if I forcefully disregard his wishes and follow his head , let him agree to your divorce, then he will resist me with all his strength and leave the house."
After finishing speaking, the old Huguogong sighed, "However, these are none of your business. Although here, there is no reason to repeat. But, girl, if you really want to divorce, I will naturally agree. I still have to follow your wishes. As for my grandson, I can treat him as a grandson, and the Huguogong's mansion can also be without him in the future."
Su Rong choked, and was immediately unable to get off.
She was numb from head to toe. She was ready for everything, but she didn't expect to be caught off guard instead. Zhou Gu didn't say anything else, just those words, he grabbed her, and the old protector said that he would obey her wishes. What does she want? When she broke the engagement, Zhou Gu kicked himself out of the house!
She raised her eyes to look at Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu had a cold face, met her gaze, ice-cold, and didn't say a word, just looked at her. Waiting for her to make a decision.
Su Rong thought to himself, Zhou Gu is a person who keeps his word, and the old Huguogong is naturally a person who keeps his word. She resigned because she didn't want to hurt Zhou Gu, and didn't want to hurt the Huguogong's mansion.
A needle can be heard in the study.
After being quiet for a while, Su Rong slowly said: "Old Duke, you..."
"You can call me Grandpa Zhou." The old protector corrected her address with a smile.
Su Rong changed his words politely, "Grandpa Zhou, let him go out, let's talk."
The old Hu Guogong looked at Zhou Gu, "Go out."
Zhou Gu sat still, and sneered at Su Rong, "What do you want to talk to my grandfather? I'm here, no matter what you say, it won't work. The marriage can be arranged without my consent, but now I don't agree, so I don't want to withdraw. If my grandfather agrees to withdraw, I will go out of the Duke Huguo's mansion, and then I will rob you, so that you can also taste the taste of being married by someone else."
The implication is that if you dare to retreat, I will dare to expel myself from the Duke Protector's Mansion. At that time, no one will control me. I wanted to rob you, so I robbed you.
Su Rong choked for breath, "Zhou Gu!"
Babies, monthly pass, continue tomorrow! !
