Chapter 191 Backing up (three more)
As soon as Su Rong said this, Qing Ping stood up, and the son-in-law didn't hold her hand, so she rushed to Su Rong.
Her face was full of disbelief, but her eyes were full of excitement. She couldn't help herself for a while, staring at Su Rong closely, "You, what you said is true?"
Su Rong stood up slowly, looked at Princess Qingping at the same level, very calm, "Don't dare to lie to the princess and the son-in-law."
"You, you...how could..." Qingping cried and laughed, "This...she didn't die back then? Then, why didn't you write to me..."
Su Rong was silent.
The son-in-law was so transparent that he seemed to understand immediately. He hugged Princess Qingping's shoulders from behind and said in a low voice: "If calculated according to the time, Princess Zhenmin was already pregnant when she went to Dawei to get married.
Qing Ping pushed the son-in-law away, and suddenly burst into tears holding Su Rong.
Su Rong was at a loss for a while, froze, not knowing what to say, and asked the concubine with his eyes.
The son-in-law took a step back, sighed, and said to Su Rong: "Let her cry, your mother grew up with her back then, these years, she missed your mother very much, every festival day, she will burn incense and paper for your mother..."
Su Rong then stood obediently, and Princess Ren Qingping hugged her and cried enough. She never thought that Princess Qingping, who puts her identity and arrogance on her forehead, would hug her and cry when she learned that she was the daughter of Princess Zhenmin.
Perhaps the more difficult and domineering a woman is, the more difficult it is to hold herself back once she touches the softness in her heart.
Princess Qingping couldn't stop crying, she seemed very sad, but she also seemed very wronged. Su Rong was not very good at coaxing people, so she could only tentatively reach out and pat Qingping's back.
Su Rong was taken aback, and quickly withdrew her hand, not daring to move again.
After a long time, Su Rong was tired from standing. Princess Qingping hadn't stopped her tears yet, so the son-in-law had no choice but to step forward and reach out to grab Qingping, "Don't cry, you scared Su Rong."
Qingping hiccupped from crying, but still listened to it, gradually stopped the tears, let go of Su Rong, and looked at her with red eyes, "Are you scared by me?"
Su Rong whispered: "It's okay, that, princess, don't cry, I won't coax people."
Tears blurred Qingping's eyes again, pulled his concubine's sleeve and wiped his face, crying and laughing, "Your mother also said this to me, from childhood to adulthood, whenever I cry, she looks helpless, she says she can't coax people, tell me not to cry, at most she just pats me, counting it as coaxing me."
Su Rongmo.
Qingping flung off his son-in-law's sleeves, "I thought you were not like your mother at first, but now I feel that you really do. Your mother didn't like to cry when she was a child. The first time I saw her cry was the day she left the capital with her relative Dawei. She probably knew that she would not be able to come back. Therefore, she cried when she was saying goodbye, but even if she cried, she didn't let anyone see it. She just lowered her head for a while, and the tears fell into the floor tiles. When she looked up, she was still Zhenmin."
Su Rong didn't say anything.
Qingping took her hand, "Come on, sit down, and tell me about your mother."
Su Rong was dragged to sit down by Qing Ping, and recalled: "In my memory, my mother is a gentle and introverted person. She often embroidered clothes for me while sitting under the lamp. Although my clothes were enough, she always felt that they were not enough. She was not strict with me, but very tolerant. When I was young, I was very naughty and always slipped out of the house to play. She knew it and didn't reprimand me. She just told me to be careful next time and don't let the lady catch me. She didn't get angry when the clothes were dirty or torn, she just said that I don't look like a girl, so why did I become a girl..."
Su Rong briefly picked out a few things and said, seeing that Qingping listened seriously, with an expression of wishing her to say more, she sighed, "When my mother left, I was still young, and now my memory of her is a bit weak, so I can't say much, because my mother's daily life is very simple, except for embroidering clothes for me, copying Buddhist scriptures by herself, or playing chess with Uncle Xie, talking to my father, it's all gossip, and I don't see them talking about love, it's all trivial Most of the small things are my father deliberately telling my mother, I don't like to listen to them, so I ran out to play by myself..."
She thought for a while and then said: "My mother doesn't go out of the mansion very much all year round. She doesn't like to go out of the mansion. At most, she is asked by the Da Furen. She really can't refuse. So during the New Year's Eve, she followed the big guy to the temple to burn incense, have a fast meal, and listen to the monk recite a day's scriptures."
After she finished speaking, she scratched her head, "I don't have much to say. If you want to hear more about my mother, one day, ask my father or Uncle Xie. They will definitely be able to say more."
"No, she died of illness. My mother was pregnant with me, and it was not so easy to escape from Dawei's suspended animation. She was injured, and later because of dystocia when giving birth to me, she suffered a lot of postpartum bleeding. The doctor prescribed strong medicine to stop the bleeding, but the root cause of the disease was also left behind, which led to bad bones in her body. She was often worried, and it was only when I was seven years old that I couldn't hold on."
Qingping cried again, "She is so young, how much suffering she has to endure..."
Su Rong whispered: "Her greatest suffering is because she was pregnant with me and gave birth to me."
Qingping raised his eyes to look at her, "Your mother gave birth to you so desperately, she must love you very much, and love that so-and-so very much."
Su Rong blinked.
Qing Ping asked: "Why did she become your father's concubine, why didn't she marry Xie Yuan?"
Su Rong will answer this question, "I asked Uncle Xie, and Uncle Xie said that after my mother went through too much, she lost her heart. For her, she would rather occupy my father's concubine status than marry Uncle Xie. It is probably because she has moved on and does not want to delay Uncle Xie's remarriage, or tarnish the friendship they once had. I don't understand."
Qingping burst into tears and laughed, "You still don't understand? What you said makes sense."
After crying a lot, she no longer felt so uncomfortable, and said to Su Rong: "So, the marriage between you and Duke Huguo was also ordered by your mother?"
Su Rong nodded.
"Then why did you resign? Is it because of Duanhua?" Qingping was a little anxious, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told you to resign, you child, how can you make up your own mind? That is the marriage that your mother ordered for you."
Su Rong pressed her hand, "Princess, don't worry, it's my own idea to withdraw from Zhou Gu's marriage, but whether Uncle Xie, or my father, mother and brother, they all support it."
Qingping frowned, "How?"
Su Rong sighed and didn't hide anything. She told her own considerations and the current situation, but concealed the cooperation between Crown Prince Yan Echo and her. The crown prince is her trump card in Daliang capital, even if Princess Qingping and her son-in-law are extremely friendly, even if Princess Qingping has a good relationship with her mother, she feels sorry for her mother and loves her, but she still can't tell the whole story.
It will be a matter of time before her life experience is exposed, and she has been mentally prepared for it. As for the rest, it depends on the future situation.
Princess Qingping looked at the son-in-law after listening.
The son-in-law sighed, "So, you resigned Zhou Gu's marriage because you decided that you would go to Southern Chu to seize power in the future, and maybe inherit the Southern Chu throne?"
"Well, revenge comes first, as for seizing power..." Su Rong considered his words carefully, "If I don't want to be controlled by others, and I don't want to be assassinated for the rest of my life, as the only heir of the King of Southern Chu, I'm afraid I can't take the throne. After all, in the history of Southern Chu, there is a precedent for a woman to be king. Therefore, no matter who is next on the throne in Southern Chu, I'm afraid they won't let me live safely in the world, and they must get rid of me quickly. And my mother gave birth to me, thank you My uncle has taken great pains to raise me, my parents have worried about me since I was a child, and even my elder brother put me first. My life is no longer my own. How can I not live a good life?"
She also sighed, "And Zhou Gu, unlike me, he is a civil servant raised by the old Huguogong for the Huguogong's mansion. If he wants to contribute to the Liangsheji, and his name will go down in history, how can he go with me to Southern Chu and be a king's husband?"
Su Rong laughed, "So, it's not my mother's fault. After all, when she got engaged to the Duke Protector's Mansion, she wanted to find a backer for me. She never expected that the King of Southern Chu has not been involved in the harem for many years. Up to now, I am the only heir."
Qingping was speechless for a while.
The son-in-law was also silent for a long time.
The two looked at each other, and the son-in-law held Princess Qingping's hand, and said to Su Rong: "The princess and your mother have a strong bond of affection. The second is that your mother sacrificed her life to protect Liang with her own strength. So, private and public, no matter what, Su Rong, the princess mansion will be your backing from now on."
Qingping nodded, and said emphatically: "Since you have made a decision, the Princess House will support you. Back then I was weak and couldn't protect your mother, and now I may not be able to protect you much, but as long as you stay in the capital for one day, no one can kill you no matter how hard you try."
Su Rong's heart was touched, she stood up, and bowed deeply to the two, "Thank you, princess son-in-law."
