Su Rong knew that she had gone too far, but if she had not gone so far, Zhou Gu would not have agreed to break off the engagement.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Zhou Gu became furious, "Su Rong!"
Today I have called her by her first and last name two or three times.
Su Rong looked at him, very calm, and tried to talk things over with him, "I don't want us to have anything to do with each other in the future, so that you will marry another person in the future, and I will marry another person in the future, which will lead to misunderstandings. It's better to have it together today."
Calculate it."
After Zhou Gu finished shouting, he stared at her for a long time, still saying nothing.
"If you have any other opinions, you can put them forward. We will solve them together today." Although Su Rong's tone was soft and gentle, he said the most disturbing words, "Speaking of which, although I don't like you, in Jiangning County, we
We can be considered happy to get along with each other. I really regard you as my brother. If we don’t become husband and wife, we won’t have a life-and-death hatred for each other. But if you really think I’m a bastard, then it’s okay to just be a stranger from now on.”
"Get out!" Zhou Gu finally spoke, his voice cold and deep, "Get out!"
Su Rong nodded. She thought it was enough. If she continued talking, she was afraid that Zhou Gu would pull out the sword from his waist and attack him. To be honest, she really didn't want to be in the Protector's Mansion.
Fight him. After all, if he draws his sword to strike her, she will definitely draw his sword to block him.
So she immediately left the old Protector's study.
There was no one outside the study, and Lao Huguo had obviously sent everyone away, while he was sitting in a pavilion far away.
After Su Rong saw it, he walked straight into the pavilion, came close, and called out, "Grandpa Zhou."
The old Protector smiled and asked: "How did the discussion go?"
Su Rong's eyelashes trembled slightly, "I put the marriage certificate and engagement token in your study, and also said something. Zhou Gu should have listened. He will not go out to protect the country just because we broke off the engagement.
From now on, he will still be a descendant of your Duke Protector."
The old Protector raised his eyebrows, "Girl, do you really want to break off the engagement? Can you tell me the reason?"
There is no one around in this pavilion, and the study is far away, so the two people talking can't be heard.
Su Rong sat down and said, "Grandpa Zhou, you haven't told Zhou Gu my true life experience yet, have you? I know you have your considerations, so I also have my considerations. I feel that the engagement my mother made was not
It suits us. My mother knew she was going to die soon and had no choice but to do it. I think if she were alive now, she would also support regretting the marriage."
The old Protector understood, "When did you learn about your life experience? Back then, your mother wrote a letter saying that she would hide it from you."
"I'm a hairpin queen." Su Rong didn't hide it from her. "My mother said she should hide it from me, so my father and Uncle Xie listened to my mother. They really hid it from me until I was a hairpin queen."
"So, you broke off the engagement because of your true life experience?" The old Protector looked at her, "My child, are you because the current situation in the Protector's Mansion is not very good? If it is because of this, you don't have to worry at all, Your Majesty.
I don’t dare to touch the Duke Protector’s Palace. Not to mention that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Today’s Duke Protector’s Palace will not be broken down easily. If you are afraid of disturbing the Duke Protector’s Palace because of your status, you don’t have to, old man.
Throughout my life as a soldier, I have still had this sense of responsibility. Since I agreed to your mother's engagement, I have never thought about retreating when she is no longer around. You are my granddaughter-in-law of the Protector's Palace, and the Protector's Palace will protect you.
you."
Su Rong shook his head, "Although there is this reason, it is just one of the reasons. Whether it is because of the Protector's Palace, Zhou Gu himself, or my own future, in my opinion, this marriage
Come on, it is imperative to break off the engagement."
She said seriously: "Grandpa Zhou, I am serious. I have considered it carefully. My adoptive parents agree, and Uncle Xie Yuan also agrees."
When the old Protector heard this, he didn't know what to say. "So, have you really made up your mind?"
"Yes." Su Rong nodded and said sincerely: "I also hope that you will take out the marriage certificate, destroy the two copies together, and return the engagement token that my mother gave you to me."
The old Protector sighed, "You should be able to tell that that brat Zhou Gu likes you."
Su Rong was silent for a moment, "We haven't been together for a few days, and I don't like him very much. I just said a lot of very outrageous things. After today, he probably won't like me anymore. Grandpa Gu, cut the knot with a quick knife, and the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain." You should know better than me."
After she finished speaking, she added, "This engagement is not suitable for me or for him."
The old Lord Protector sighed deeply again. If it were the former Lord Protector's Mansion, it would not be inappropriate. Today's Lord Protector's Mansion, even he could not refute Su Rong. He was silent for a moment and nodded helplessly, "
Logically speaking, I made a marriage contract with your mother and shouldn't break it, but since you have made up your mind, I shouldn't forcefully stop you. After all, this is your whole life."
Lao Huguo felt that even though he met Su Rong for the first time, he had clearly seen her temperament in a short period of time, and the things he had decided would never change. After all, Zhou Gu had said such harsh words and did not let her go.
She changed her mind, and the two of them only stayed in the study for a cup of tea before telling Zhou Gu to stop making trouble. This shows how determined she is, and the Duke Protector's Mansion, because Princess Zhenmin had spoken in advance, was even less likely to do so.
He couldn't force the girl to come to the house to break off the engagement, so he was so determined that he held on to the marriage contract without any regrets.
The old Protector was a decisive character. After nodding in agreement, he stopped persuading and said: "Even if the engagement is broken off, your mother will still call Sheng'an Auntie in terms of status. Although you don't want to marry me in person now,
But we can’t break off this relationship in the future.”
Su Rong smiled and said: "If Grandpa Zhou doesn't mind it, the Protectorate and I will help each other in the future and just go about our business as normal."
The old Protector nodded, "It should be so."
What he was most afraid of was that Su Rong would no longer have contact with the Duke Protector's Palace, and would not let the Duke Protector's Palace help him after breaking off the engagement. Now that he saw her saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He shouted in a deep voice: "Here comes someone!"
A person waiting in the distance immediately came over and said, "Old Duke."
"Go and send a message to the eldest princess and ask her to come here with the marriage certificate and tokens." The old protector ordered.
This person must have gone immediately.
The old protector of the country asked Su Rong again: "Is there anyone from Nanchu looking for you?"
Su Rong nodded, "Many people have come to kill me, but don't worry, I can handle it. I have a secret guard left for me by my mother."
Even Aunt Zhao knew this, and there was nothing she couldn't say to the old Protector.
The old protector nodded, obviously knowing, "As long as you can handle it, it shows that your identity has been known to the people in Nanchu. The King of Nanchu has never had any heirs. I have sent people to inquire about it. Over the years,
, he does not enter the harem, and the sixth palace is vacant, so he has no heirs. He is truly sincere towards your mother. If he learns of your existence, he will definitely send someone here."
Su Rong nodded.
The old Protector looked at her and said, "I haven't sent anyone to Jiangning County to see you these years. It's also because I know that there are secret guards left by Xie Yuan and your mother for you. Please be safe and there won't be any big problems.
, Jiangning County is very suitable for you to grow up safely. I am also afraid that Jiangning County will be targeted because of me and the Protectorate. If the news is revealed, it will involve too much, and Nanchu will not be able to hide it in the first place."
Su Rong said softly: "I understand that Grandpa Zhou has worked hard."
The old Protector sighed, "Over the years, I very much hope that the King of Southern Chu can forget your mother, step into the harem, and have children. Then you don't have to get involved in the quagmire of Southern Chu because of your status. But it's a pity.
In the end, things backfired. The King of Nan Chu did not enter the harem, and you were his only heir. You were raised by Xie Yuan. If you have read the history of Nan Chu, you should know that there is a precedent for a woman to be the king in the vassal country of Nan Chu. Therefore,
Although I don’t know when Nanchu got the news of your existence, I know that this should be the reason why someone came to kill you. Your existence has blocked the way of countless people in Nanchu.”
Su Rong nodded.
The old Duke Protector said again: "My original plan was that if you didn't return to Nanchu, inherit the throne, and break off the engagement, you would always be the granddaughter-in-law of the Duke Protector's Palace, and the Duke Protector's Palace would have reason to block Nanchu for you.
, and even blocked the Wei Dynasty, but now that you have broken off the engagement, as soon as the marriage is canceled, the Duke Protector's Palace will have no reason to compete with the King of Southern Chu for you. Have you thought about it? "
Su Rong smiled slightly, "Grandpa Zhou probably doesn't know that after my mother passed away, I would be assassinated every once in a while in Jiangning County. Over the years, the other party never stopped. Now there are more assassins than before.
Several more waves of people have arrived. I have already thought about it. I don’t say that I will definitely win the throne of Nanchu, but I also want to go to Nanchu to take revenge."
The old Protector was shocked, "Why did your life experience become known so early? Who are you from Nanchu?"
"Queen of Nanchu."
The old Protector nodded, "So, I do understand your intention to break off the engagement."
She did not resist going to Nanchu to become the princess and inherit the throne, but the grandson he had carefully cultivated was going to be in the Liang Dynasty, so naturally he could not go to Nanchu to be the prince's husband.
The ways are different, the roads are different, so naturally they are not matchmakers.
The sick code is written, dears, don’t keep your monthly tickets, see you tomorrow!!!
