Chapter 194 Forced questioning (six more)
The door of the room was closed. Hearing the sound of Zhou Gu's footsteps walking away, the old Huguogong sighed a long time, feeling a little regretful. When Princess Zhenmin approached him, he shouldn't have shown great sincerity in choosing Zhou Gu who was born as a descendant in order to reassure Zhenmin. He should have chosen Zhou Che who was born as the third son.
That kid Zhou Che, at least he doesn't stick to it.
After Zhou Gu left the study of the old Duke Huguo's mansion, he went to the yard of Princess Sheng'an.
Princess Sheng'an used to be tending flowers and plants at this time, but now she is not doing it. Instead, she is talking to the nurse next to her. Seeing Zhou Gu coming, she asked with a smile, "Why are you here at this time?"
Zhou Gu looked at Princess Sheng'an, didn't answer, but called "Grandmother", and then sat quietly.
Princess Sheng'an observed his expression, "Are you being scolded by your grandfather again?" She said unhappily: "This old man, how can you not like you? You ignore him, because your three brothers are not around every day, and he always finds you uncomfortable when you are around."
Zhou Gu lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing him like this, the Eldest Princess Sheng'an was a little worried, and winked at Mammy, who immediately retreated and closed the door.
Princess Sheng'an held his hand, "If you have anything to say, don't hold it in your heart, tell grandma, don't hold it back alone."
Zhou Gu clenched his palms and raised his head, "Grandma, did I do something wrong?"
"What did you do wrong? What did you do wrong?" Princess Sheng'an was taken aback.
Zhou Gudao: "Grandfather scolded me just now. Since I knew that Su Rong's sudden visit to Beijing was unusual, I was afraid of retiring the engagement, but I was arrogant and did nothing. I only relied on the good days with her in Jiangning County. I thought how dare she come to ask me to withdraw the engagement? But I didn't go to find her in advance, ask her, and stop her."
He lowered his voice, "Obviously I don't want to divorce, and obviously if she comes to divorce, I will definitely be unhappy, but I let the situation happen in the direction I least want, and I let it go, doing nothing, and after she came to the door, I became angry..."
Princess Sheng'an sighed, and patted his hand, "Although what your grandfather scolded is reasonable, it's not all your fault. You are still young and have not experienced much in the world. The elders in the family have never mentioned you. If you say something wrong, we are also wrong."
"Then why didn't you mention me?" Zhou Gu asked softly, "Do you also want to see me get divorced?"
"Of course not." Princess Sheng'an shook her head, "Why didn't you mention you? Naturally, it's because this marriage was arranged for you by your family. You didn't want it earlier, but now Su Rong doesn't want it. No matter what, there's always someone who doesn't want it. It's not perfect anymore. As far as marriage is concerned, you still have to ask for your love and I want it to be beautiful. Besides, you plan to travel. The next generation, let the elders raise everything, but what if you go out? Traveling thousands of miles is difficult, poor mountains and roads, and encountering all kinds of life, you need to think carefully and make a decision that you think is right, otherwise you will make a mistake and risk your life. And Su Rong’s resignation is the first lesson for you who have not yet stepped out of the capital!"
Princess Sheng'an's tone was calm, and after she finished speaking, she sighed softly, "It's not a bad thing to suffer a lot when you were young. Although my grandmother was not kind, she never mentioned you. Apart from the reasons mentioned above, I will tell you one more thing now, that is, even if my grandmother mentioned you, but you stopped her, according to the character of that little girl Su Rong, you may still be unable to escape and be divorced. So, generally speaking, there is no difference."
Zhou Gu raised his head and stared at Princess Sheng An, "Grandma, why do you say that?"
Princess Sheng'an paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Are you asking directly from your grandfather, but you didn't get it out, so you ran to me and asked in a roundabout way?"
Princess Sheng'an stretched out her hand and tapped his nose, "You, after all, you are still very smart and smart. Even if you didn't turn around for a while, you still want to make up for it afterwards. It's been like this since I was a child, and I still haven't straightened you out when I grow up. I'm afraid it will be hard for me to change it in this lifetime."
She withdrew her hand, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip and said, "Since your grandfather didn't tell you, I naturally didn't tell you either. If you want to know, you can ask Su Rong yourself!"
Zhou Gu pursed his lips, "What if I go to Jiangzhou to ask Uncle Su and Mr. Xie?"
Princess Sheng An stared, "Let me ask you, you want to know why Su Rong made an engagement with you, and why she broke off the engagement, don't you?"
"yes."
"Then what is your purpose for asking these two things?" Princess Sheng'an looked at him, "Do you just want to know a result, or what do you want to do after knowing the result?"
Zhou Gu was silent.
Princess Sheng'an laughed angrily, "Look at you, since you can't tell, what are you going to Jiangzhou for?"
Zhou Gu didn't speak.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an closed her smile, and said seriously: "Brother Gu, your grandfather asked you to study literature, and you know better than anyone else the heavy responsibility on your shoulders. Even if you don't work for the Duke of Huguo, you have learned a lot, read history books thoroughly, and made up your mind when you were young. Why?"
Zhou Gu lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Princess Sheng'an, "Su Rong, is there any trouble that keeps both grandfather and grandmother silent? It is also because of this trouble that she runs counter to me, so if she wanted to divorce, she divorced. And today, the person who was assassinated was not Princess Qingping, but her?"
Princess Qingping has been unscrupulous for so many years, she has offended countless people, and she has never been assassinated like this. How can it be that Su Rong came to Beijing for only a few days, and Princess Qingping was assassinated in the blue sky?
Especially that cold arrow was shot down by Feng Ling who was following Su Rong.
It can only be said that the cold arrow was shot at Su Rong, and the person who shot the cold arrow was also going to kill Su Rong.
But why kill Su Rong? She is just a daughter's family, even if she offends the First Prince, she will not be retaliated by the First Prince like this. At most, the First Prince can persuade people to pay bullets to impeach Su Xu's goddaughter.
Then who wants to kill Su Rong? Will such a heavy hand be laid down on the bustling streets of central Beijing?
Zhou Gu couldn't figure it out, so at the first time, he went to the old Huguogong to ask for an answer, but he was scolded, and now he came to find Princess Sheng'an, and he was told again.
Obviously, neither of them wanted to tell him.
After he finished asking, Princess Sheng'an was obviously silent.
Zhou Gu pursed his lips, "Grandma, do you really want me to go out and bump around, just to find an answer?"
