The housekeeper of the Princess Mansion had ordered someone to prepare a car early.
Su Rong and Fengling came to the door of the princess's mansion. The housekeeper had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the two arriving, he quickly stepped forward and held his hands: "Miss Seventh, Mr. Feng, you two have never been to the Duke Protector's Mansion. I will accompany you."
The two of you go."
Su Rong waved her hand, "No need, we will go by ourselves."
After she finished speaking, she added, "Let's go on foot!"
The housekeeper was stunned, "This..."
Su Rong smiled at him, "It's getting dark very early. The Protector's Palace is not far from the Princess's Palace. It's only a few steps away. There's really no need to bother."
After hearing this, the housekeeper no longer pressed, and could only tell the two of them to be careful on the road.
Su Rong nodded.
After leaving the princess's mansion, there was no one on this street. The early morning breeze was cool, and Su Rong didn't even wear a curtain. Occasionally, leaves fell on the roadside and fell down. She stretched out her hand to catch them. She saw some people sweeping leaves early in the morning.
The street sweeper raised his hand, and the fallen leaves flew accurately into the wooden bucket carried by the street sweeper, quietly and without surprising the street sweeper.
Fengling followed Su Rong half a step behind and asked in a low voice: "Master, have you brought the divorce document?"
"Well, I've brought it with me." I have been carrying it with me these days.
Fengling observed her face. She didn't know whether it was the cool weather or her mood. In short, her face was cool and cool. He whispered: "It is said that Young Master Zhou has been staying behind closed doors since he came out of the examination room.
Practice martial arts every day at the martial arts training ground in the mansion with the guards in the mansion."
Su Rong didn't ask Fengling to inquire about Zhou Gu these days. He said "Oh?" when he heard this, "Isn't it because he didn't do well in the exam and is planning to abandon literature and join the martial arts?"
Fengling shook his head, "Probably not. For people who practice martial arts, practicing every day can vent their inner emotions very well." He judged others by himself, guessing Zhou Gu's thoughts, "It's probably Qi
Since you came to Beijing, you have been living in the Princess's Mansion, and you have not even visited the gate of the Protector's Mansion?"
Su Rong had other ideas, "He wasn't angry that I didn't go to the Duke Protector's Mansion. He probably guessed my plan and was waiting for me to come."
After hearing this, Fengling thought about it for a while and realized that it was very possible. She commented, "If this is the case, Young Master Zhou can really keep his composure."
Su Rong smiled.
Aren't you able to keep your composure?
Although Zhou Gu is young and has a youthful spirit, he is also young and mature. If you only look at his appearance, he will be very deceptive. If he cooperates with the East Palace to clean up the Jiang clan's power in Jiangzhou and uproot it, he can only
It only took two days.
Although he was from Congwen, the sword worn on Zhou Gu's waist was not someone who had never seen blood spilled on the street.
Su Rong was not in a hurry and walked slowly step by step. Pedestrians saw her on the way and were surprised by her appearance. The girl without a curtain was slender and walked slowly and leisurely, as if she was out for a walk.
Taking a leisurely walk, just one person, blends in with the fallen leaves on this long street in autumn, like a painting.
Fengling also has a very handsome appearance and a tall and tall figure, but from a distance, she is just her foil.
There was a very ordinary carriage crossing the road at the end of the long street. The wind blew the curtains of the carriage. The person inside was holding a book in his hand. He was reading it, but seemed to feel something. He suddenly raised his eyes and glanced up. For just a moment,
The curtain in front of me was blown down by the wind again. The person inside immediately put down the book, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and looked again.
The girl in the distance is not very gorgeous in her clothes, but with the rising sun in the morning, she is extremely bright and eye-catching in the autumn.
Sensing that someone was looking at her from afar, Su Rong held the fallen leaves and looked up. Her eyes met the eyes of the person in the carriage casually. But in an instant, the curtain fell and the carriage passed by. It was far away, so she only looked at it.
A vague outline appeared.
She paused, stared at the end of the long street that was empty of cars, and asked Fengling, "Did you just see that?"
"What did you see?" Fengling wondered, "That carriage?"
"Yes, that carriage." Su Rong nodded and said more accurately, "The people in the carriage."
"I took a look. There was a young man in the car, and there seemed to be a girl?" Fengling alerted, "Master, is there something wrong?"
Su Rong shook his head and smiled, "There's nothing wrong. It's just that Duanhua told me a few days ago that there is no face in the world more beautiful than Zhou Gu's. Unexpectedly, I saw one today, even though it was so far away
I was far away and couldn't see clearly, but when I looked at the man just now, his profile seemed very handsome."
She added firmly, "Better looking than you."
Fengling was heartbroken, "Master, is this what you saw?"
"Well, that's what I saw." Su Rong threw away the fallen leaves and asked curiously, "I wonder whose young master it is, why don't you go follow him and find out?"
Fengling was not willing to go, "I have to protect you."
"The secret guards are following you, what are you afraid of? What's more, this is the main street of the capital, with clear sky and white sun. If the public security in the capital is this bad, then your majesty will not have to sleep every night. The patrol camp and the five-city military division
As well as Jing Zhaoyin’s officials, all of them will lose their heads.”
She waved her hand, instructing him, "Go!"
Fengling saw her serious look and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll go."
After he agreed, he snapped his fingers to the guard who was secretly protecting him, and he quickly chased the carriage.
Su Rong ignored her and continued walking slowly by herself. Half an hour later, Fengling hadn't come back yet, and she was already standing in front of the Duke Protector's Mansion.
The gate of the Duke Protector's Mansion has a splendid lintel and a majestic plaque. The two large stone lions in front of the gate look majestic. They are guarded by government soldiers and have majestic utensils. They look very majestic.
The door is wide open. If you ignore the young master in thin clothes standing lazily on the door frame, this Duke Protector's Mansion is majestic and majestic enough, but this man is lazy and a bit out of place.
Su Rong didn't expect Zhou Gu to be waiting at the gate early, obviously waiting for her for a long time. When he saw her coming, he didn't say a word, but just looked at her with his dark eyes.
Su Rong had already made a mental preparation for herself, but at this moment, she felt a little unable to bear it, but she had to bear it even if she couldn't. Her heart was always not white, it was black, but she could bear it.
So, she stopped, looked up at Zhou Gu, and asked with a smile: "Is Brother Zhou waiting for me?"
Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows and straightened his lazy body, but he didn't know whether it was because he had been exposed to the morning sun for too long this morning, or because he had been leaning against the door for too long. Even if he stood up straight, he still had a trace of
With a lazy feeling, he looked Su Rong up and down and asked her rudely, "Ansheng was waiting in Jiangzhou for me to come to discuss marriage after my scientific examination, but he came to Beijing by himself. What's the matter? Come on.
Should I have married you earlier?"
Su Rong blinked and said nothing.
Zhou Gu looked at her condescendingly, with a long and drawn-out tone, dark eyes, and a weak smile on his face, "What should I do? You can't wait to come, but I don't want to get married young."
Can't wait to come? Is this sarcastic to her?
Su Rong narrowed her eyes, reached into her arms, and slowly took out the marriage certificate. Facing the falling sunshine, she smiled lazily, "That's it, that's just right. I don't want to get married young, I'm here to break off the engagement."
of."
Zhou Gu had already thought that she intended to break off the engagement, but he didn't expect that she came alone so early in the morning and was so happy. When they met for the first time, he spoke decisively without even hesitating. She didn't even step down the steps he handed her. She really came to break off the engagement.
.
His face instantly turned gloomy, and his eyes were as sharp as knives. He took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. The marriage document in her hand was close at hand, drying in the sun. The red wedding document was sprinkled with dark red bands by the sunlight.
The golden light was very piercing. He only glanced at it, then moved away, staring closely into Su Rong's eyes. If eyes could kill, Su Rong had already been pierced, "Borrow the engagement? Who gave you the courage to break the engagement with me?"
Marriage? Princess Qingping Mansion?"
Su Rong's wrist hurt when she was grabbed, and she could hardly hold the marriage certificate. This was not the first time that she had fallen out with Zhou Gu. When she was in Jiangning County, she had met him twice, once when she met Jiang Yunying, and once when she took her to Fengyue.
Floor, but combined those two times, his face was not as dark as this time. It was very scary, like a sharp knife.
She couldn't say it hurt, she couldn't show her weakness, and she couldn't fool him again with the soft tricks she used in Jiangning County.
So, with a very calm face on her face, she shook her head and said seriously: "It's not the courage given to me by the Princess Qingping Palace, it has nothing to do with the Princess Palace. It's me. I came to Beijing this time to break off the engagement."
After she finished speaking, she added sternly, "Zhou Gu, you know, with my temper, no one can force me to be my master. It's me."
Zhou Gu's words were extremely harsh. Although he had already guessed it, hearing her speak so seriously and with a very serious expression on her face still made him extremely angry. "Then you are really brave. You are very good."
."
He finished speaking through gritted teeth, and without asking her why, he snatched the marriage certificate from her hand and turned around and entered the door.
Su Rong's hands were empty and she watched him take the marriage certificate and leave, wondering if she could get in? Would it be enough to break off the engagement like this? After thinking about it again, it seemed impossible. There was also a token. She had a jade pendant here.
Return it to the Protector's Mansion, and the token her mother had originally betrothed to the Protector's Mansion must also be taken back.
So, she could only step forward silently, following Zhou Gu into the Duke Protector's Mansion.
