Chapter 251 Covering the water will not be collected (one more)
Su Rong left Shuanglin Garden, stopped a servant, and asked him to lead the way to see Princess Sheng'an.
Princess Sheng'an was talking behind closed doors with the Duke's wife. The two were discussing whether they should still mention their earlier plans with Su Rongti, one as a grandmother and the other as a mother, both for the sake of Zhou Gu.
Seeing Su Rong coming, Madam Zheng reported, "The Eldest Princess, Madam, Miss Su Qi and Mr. Feng are here."
Princess Sheng An hurriedly said: "Please."
She and Mrs. Guo exchanged glances, counting the time, they stayed in Zhou Gu's yard for half an hour. This time is not long, but not short.
Nurse Zheng lifted the curtain herself, smiling all over her face, "Miss Su Qi, Mr. Feng, please hurry up, both of you."
Su Rong smiled and nodded, took Feng Ling together, stepped over the threshold, and entered the house.
Princess Sheng An didn't wait for Su Rong to greet her, so she got up to stop her and held her hand, "My family, don't be so polite."
Su Rong naturally wouldn't say polite words, and sat down next to the Eldest Princess following the hand held by the Eldest Princess.
Princess Sheng An asked with a smile, "Have you visited Brother Gu?"
Su Rong nodded.
Princess Sheng'an smiled and asked again: "He heard that you saved him, so he didn't sleep all morning."
Su Rong smiled slightly, "Those who fell asleep all night yesterday have no fever during the day, so they are certainly not sleepy."
Princess Sheng An nodded, "That's true." Then she looked at Feng Ling again, "How is Mr. Feng resting?"
Feng Ling replied immediately, "I'm resting well."
Princess Sheng'an asked again: "Does the meal suit your appetite?"
Feng Ling praised it very much, "It's very appetizing, and the cooking skills of the cooks in your mansion are comparable to those in Princess Qingping's mansion."
Princess Sheng'an laughed, "Then you can stay for a few more days."
This Feng Ling couldn't agree, and he stopped answering immediately.
Su Rong smiled and said: "Feng Ling and I are here to say goodbye to you and your aunt."
Princess Sheng'an smiled, "Are you in a hurry to leave?"
Su Rong nodded, "Zhou Gu passed the most dangerous night yesterday, even if he has a fever again tonight, it won't be so dangerous. The housekeeper of the Fuzhong went to catch the medicine with Feng Ling yesterday. Although the prescription I wrote is illegible, he should have memorized the prescription after going through it. If he can't remember it, I'll just rewrite the prescription."
Feng Ling took out a prescription from his sleeve and handed it to Princess Sheng'an, "Sister, you don't need to write it. I have copied the antipyretic prescription you prescribed yesterday in advance. My handwriting is neat."
Princess Sheng'an stretched out her hand to take it. Sure enough, Feng Ling's handwriting was very regular, and she definitely recognized it. She looked at Su Rong and asked, "If Brother Gu has a fever again, will you follow this prescription?"
Princess Sheng'an has no reason to stay with Su Rong, but she still asks, "Can't you stay one more day?"
Su Rong smiled, "Second Master Ye is still waiting for me at the Great Buddha Temple. I am riding his horse, and I will always pick him up."
Princess Sheng'an couldn't tell if Ye Guixue couldn't get a horse back by herself, she couldn't say that, she could only nod, "Well, if that's the case, I won't keep you any longer."
She paused, "But I have something to tell you, if you are not in a hurry, how about listening to it before leaving?"
Su Rong nodded, "Okay, please tell me."
Princess Sheng An took a look at Feng Ling, but instead of driving Feng Ling out, she signaled Madam Zheng to take all the servants down, and closed the door.
There are only her, Su Rong, Mrs. Guogong, and Feng Ling in the room.
Princess Sheng'an had already made up her mind, and she lowered her voice and said, "I heard from your elder brother that you accepted the military amulet of 100,000 soldiers from Young Master Ye Er as a betrothal gift, and entered into a marriage contract with him? Is it true?"
Su Rong nodded, "It is true."
Princess Sheng'an looked at her, "I can understand your choice very well. If you withdraw Gu Ge'er's marriage, naturally you won't keep getting married. Especially the second son of Nanchu Yexiang Mansion. Although I haven't met anyone yet, I have heard many people say that he is an excellent one. His talent is famous all over the world, and he really lives up to his reputation. If my grandson is not Gu Ge'er, I would be happy for you. He had a high fever and babbled all night, calling your name all the time, and you heard it too, until you fed him medicine and water, he didn't stop."
She sighed deeply, "I know that half of the reason for your resignation is also for the good of Brother Gu. You are so smart, so you naturally understand the path that the old Duke chose for him since he was a child, to assist the prince, to be a pillar of power, to assist the government, and his name will last forever. I used to think that this path was the best for him. But now, after listening to what he said to his mother a few days ago, I dare not think so anymore. After all, it was chosen for him by others, but it may not be what he wants most.”
She looked at Su Rong, "Now that you have agreed to another marriage, I shouldn't have said these things to you, but Su Rong, please be considerate of me as a grandmother, and his mother as a mother, who loves her grandson and son. I want to ask you, you and Gu Geer, if Gu Geer abandons the path arranged by his grandfather since childhood and follows you, can you give him a chance?"
Su Rong was startled, and instantly tensed up, "Princess, you..."
She wants to say you are serious? But looking into Princess Sheng'an's eyes, her expression couldn't be more serious, and she didn't need to ask when the words came to her lips.
Mrs. Guo said at this moment: "On the way back to the mansion the day before yesterday, Brother Gu met Ye Er Gongzi to pick you up from the Shen mansion. When he came back, he was extremely depressed and almost collapsed. As a mother, I have never seen him like that. He..."
Mrs. Guo described Zhou Gu's state at that time, and repeated what he said to Su Rong. She couldn't help crying while talking, "Brother Gu... If he really can't get over this hurdle..."
Su Rong listened quietly.
Feng Ling took a deep breath in his heart, and he was also very shocked.
The Duke’s wife wiped her tears with a handkerchief. She was choked up for a while and couldn’t make a sound. Princess Sheng’an also took out the handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, "Su Rong, just give him a chance!"
Feng Ling turned her head to look at Su Rong, Su Rong pursed her lips lightly, showing no emotion on her face, but Feng Ling found that her hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched tightly on one side of the sleeve, if she didn't look carefully, she couldn't tell that the small corner had been wrinkled by her.
Su Rong was silent for a while, finally let go of his hand, and said in a steady voice: "I will try my best to help Zhou Gu get out."
Princess Sheng'an looked at her, the eyes of the Duke's wife were also red, and she was silent for a while.
Su Rong looked at the two of them and said: "Eldest princess, madam, when I retired from the engagement, I really didn't expect that Zhou Gu would have grown affection for me in just one month. Forgive me for being stupid. I really didn't realize it at the beginning. He was so proud, and he probably hid it, so I didn't find out. In short, although I knew that he didn't resist marrying me, I really didn't feel that his affection was so deep that he couldn't let me go after the divorce. So, I retired without hesitation. For myself, for him, for everyone, I didn't give him a chance to choose, and I didn't need him to hesitate and struggle, I made this decision myself."
Su Rong said again: "As a person, I have a lot of shortcomings, but not many advantages. One of them is to be decisive. After thinking twice before acting, once I make up my mind, I will never allow myself to go back on my word. Retiring Zhou Gu is a decision I made after careful consideration. After my remarriage with Zhou Gu, within two days, I met Young Master Ye Er on the birthday banquet of the little daughter-in-law of Chengguo Gongfu. After discussing with him, I learned that the king of Southern Chu knew about my background five years ago, but he has been patient until now. He had already discussed with Ye Xiang. , He was brought up to be what he is now. Brilliant, famous all over the world. The hard work behind him, at least in the past five years, more than 3,000 days and nights, was all for me and my identity. He knew that I was Ji Ji, and he should have come to Daliang before I was Ji Ji. I couldn't breathe, and hurried to Daliang. At that time, I happened to have retired. He offered a hundred thousand soldiers and horse tiger talisman as the offer, and with the support of the Yexiang Mansion behind him, I have no reason not to agree."
"Since I agreed and took his tiger talisman, there is absolutely no reason to go back on my word and return it. After all, it is different from the marriage contract made by the elders. This is my own choice." Su Rong's eyes were calm, and he met the eyes of the eldest princess of Sheng'an and the Duke's wife, and said word by word: "So, eldest princess, madam, let me say sorry. Now that the water has been poured out, it cannot be taken back easily."
