Xie Lin saw the two of them discussing like no one was around and did not avoid him. His mood was very complicated.
He waited for the two of them to finish speaking, then said silently: "Are you two treating me like air?"
He, Prince Ruian's Mansion, does not belong to any camp and has not taken refuge with anyone. He has been living a cowardly life under His Majesty's nose. Although he is cowardly, there is one advantage. He is not like the Duke Protector's Mansion, who is secretly jealous and stared at by His Majesty.
He stared at Prince Ruian's Palace following every move of the Duke Protector's Palace, which made people breathless.
He said that it was all caused by the military power. As long as the Duke Protector's Office relinquished military power, there would be no such trouble.
But in other words, will the Protectorate's Mansion still be the Protectorate's Mansion after it has removed its military power? Can the Protectorate's Mansion escape unscathed even if it removes its military power?
Xie Lin tried his best to think, but couldn't figure out the result. He felt that this was probably the reason why the old Protector of the Kingdom asked Zhou Gu to Congwen! The Protector's Mansion also had no way out. Everyone in the world praised it.
Who knew that the Protectorate's Mansion was already in dire straits.
"If I don't treat you like air, just treat yourself as deaf." Zhou Gu said venomously.
Xie Lin choked and suddenly asked Zhou Gu, "Does your fiancée know that you are such a virtuous person?"
Zhou Gu paused.
"Let's go back!" Su Xingze listened to the debate still going on downstairs and lost interest in sitting down.
Xie Lin and Zhou Gu were no longer interested. They nodded and left the Juxian Building together.
The three of them left quickly. The eldest prince Yan Li, who was sitting in the next room, looked at him from the back window, his face darkened, "I didn't expect that although Xie Lin and Zhou Gu fought because of Qin Luan, they didn't become enemies. It's really novel."
.”
The staff member said: "I heard that Princess Ruian selected several candidates for Young Prince Xie's marriage, but Young Prince Xie rejected them all. I heard that she is still thinking about Qin Luan."
"Who said that a woman who enters the East Palace can't come out? As long as I sit in that position, Qin Luan can get him out." Yan Li thought about it, "I'll ask Xie Lin tomorrow if he still wants Qin Luan."
Luan? The Duke Protector's Office has made it clear that it is leaning toward the East Palace. It is only a matter of time before it takes its side. Only his father still feels that the Duke Protector's Office does not dare to act rashly. If he really does not dare to act rashly, Zhou Gu will not start helping the prince.
.Don’t even think about Ruian Prince’s Palace being left alone.”
The staff nodded, "Although Mr. Xie looks careless, he is not brainless. If asked directly, he would not dare to say that he is thinking about it anymore, and he may not agree, but if we find an opportunity, let him get together with Qin Luan
After doing a lot, I don’t believe he can still refuse.”
Yan Li was full of calculations, "If we can control Qin Luan and control Xie Lin, the former can make the East Palace fall apart, and the latter can take refuge in this palace, then we can kill two birds with one stone."
The staff flattered, "That's what His Highness said."
"The two of them have to plan slowly. There will always be a chance. The first thing is Su Xingze. This palace has tested him out. He is a talented person. We don't want him to be named on the gold list and become a sword in the East Palace." Yan
Li Fa said harshly: "This person must be prevented from participating in the Golden Autumn Science Examination."
The staff member said: "There is still one month before the scientific examination. There is always a chance to deal with him. Your Highness does not need to be anxious."
"Why am I not in a hurry? Didn't you see that Zhou Guming was trying to protect him?" Yan Li lost interest in sitting down. "Go back home and give me all the ideas you can think of. Su Xingze can't stay."
The staff should be.
Yan Li walked out of the door, glanced downstairs again, and said, "Secretly send someone to check on Zhao Li'an and Lu Fengyan to see if they can be roped in. Even if they can't be roped in, they can't be roped in by Dong Gong and his second brother."
The staff should be.
After leaving Juxian Building, Xie Lin returned to Ruian Palace by himself, while Su Xingze and Zhou Gu returned to Dongsi Hutong.
As soon as he entered the mansion, a housekeeper sent two letters, one to Su Xingze and the other to Zhou Gu, "Eldest Young Master, Mr. Zhou, a letter from Jiangzhou."
Su Xingze took the letter and glanced at Zhou Gu, who saw a pleasant smile on Zhou Gu's face. Seeing him, he asked Su Xingze: "Brother Su, is this a letter from Xiao Qi?"
Su Xingze said "Yeah", "It should be."
Zhou Gu immediately opened it, holding a thin piece of letter paper in his hand, thinking, good guy, he wrote two full pages, but she only wrote one page for her. Not only that, when he saw the letter
When reading the content, the joy on his face disappeared.
This was not Su Rong's handwriting. He had seen her handwriting when he went to her study that day.
In addition, this letter was not only ghostwritten by someone else, but also contained only one sentence, saying that the congratulatory gifts from the Protectorate were too heavy and she deserved them. She felt relieved that those things were returned to him.
It means something else.
What does it mean if there is no other meaning?
Zhou Gu's anger rose and he could no longer restrain himself. He turned to look at Su Xingze. He saw that Su Xingze was also reading the letter. He also had a thin piece of letter paper in his hand, and it seemed that he had written few words.
Su Xingze noticed Zhou Gu's gaze and raised his head to look at him.
Zhou Gu pursed his lips, "My letter was ghostwritten by someone else. I wonder, Brother Su, your letter was written by her herself?"
Su Xingze looked calm and said, "I am also a ghostwriter."
He felt that there was nothing in this letter that Zhou Gu could not read, so he simply opened it for Zhou Gu to read clearly.
Zhou Gu saw clearly that the handwriting on the letter in his hand was the same as that written by someone else. He was confused, "Did she get into a fight with someone again and hurt her hand? Why did both letters have to be written by someone else?"
Su Xingze calculated the time and felt that Su Rong's injury should be healed, so that she would not have to rely on others to write for her, and she could not write. She asked someone to write for her, which only means that she is too lazy to write. He shook his head, "Qimei has always been too lazy to write.
, it’s not surprising to find someone to write for you.”
Zhou Gu choked up. He didn't expect this to be the reason. He felt angry, thinking that one was her eldest brother and the other was her fiancé. Would she treat people like this?
He suppressed his emotions and asked: "She has always hired someone to write for her? Didn't she write the letters she wrote to you in person?"
"No." Su Xingze shook his head, "I used to emphasize that she was not allowed to find anyone to ghostwrite, and I also beat everyone in the Su family, so no one in the entire Su family would ghostwrite for her. Now these two letters
, it was probably written by Aunt Zhao."
The implication is that people who have never been beaten before.
Zhou Gu was speechless and asked Su Xingze directly, "Brother Su, she is very rich, do you know?"
"I know." Su Xingze nodded.
"Then she still steals fifty taels of silver from you every month. Do you know how to pay it back?" Zhou Gu looked at him.
Su Xingze smiled, "She had no money before, but I'm used to it."
The implication is that after she became rich, she did not change this habit.
Zhou Gu held his breath in his heart and said word by word: "She gave me a batch of clothes and materials in Jinxiu Pavilion, worth a full 180,000 taels. What does Brother Su think?"
Su Xingze was surprised for a moment, but he had a clear mind and quickly understood what Su Rong meant, "I don't know everything about Seventh Sister. After all, I have been studying at Yunshan Academy for the past two years.
, I don’t know much about it, Jinxiu Pavilion has her stock, since she gave you these, she must have her reasons.”
Zhou Gu had no place to vent, "Her reason is that the gift given to her by the Protector's Palace was too heavy. She said she deserved it, so she used those things to pay it back to me, which made her feel at ease."
Zhou Gu stared at Su Xingze, "Brother Su, is she dissatisfied with me?"
Su Xingze didn't know what Su Rong was thinking when he gave these things to Zhou Gu, but he was definitely not dissatisfied, so he shook his head, "You are worrying too much. Qimei is used to doing whatever she wants."
Zhou Gu sneered, "Brother Su, don't fool me. She is not a person who does whatever she wants. She has her reasons for everything she does. During the month I went to Jiangning County, she repeatedly tested me.
She doesn’t think much of our engagement at all, does she?”
Su Xingzemo said, "After all, the family backgrounds are so different, it's understandable that she doesn't like him."
This is admission!
Zhou Gu felt so depressed that he raised his hand and stuffed the letter into the envelope. He threw the envelope and the envelope directly into the incense burner. If it wasn't her handwritten letter, why should he keep it? He might as well burn it.
Seeing the letter burnt to ashes, he turned to Su Xingze and said, "After the scientific examination, my mother and I will go to Jiangzhou to discuss the marriage."
Su Xingze didn't know what to say. He told Su Rong that he wanted to break off the engagement. He was afraid that it would affect his scientific examination, so he simply said nothing.
Zhou Gu stood up and said, "I'm going to study!"
He strode away and returned to his room. Su Xingze rubbed his brows and threw the envelope in his hand into the incense burner not far away. It was not a letter written by Qimei, so of course he did not need to keep it.
