Chapter 169: Risk your life to accompany the gentleman (1st update)
Xie Lin remembered that that day, Zhou Gu was really hit hard by the fruit. He suddenly stopped talking, thinking that things could still be thought of like this? But he was really angry at that time.
He boasted that he was not much worse than Mr. Zhou Gu, but no one threw fresh fruit to him. During that period, it made him doubt whether there was something wrong with his character, and why he was not treated well by others.
Now that he heard what Zhou Gu said, he felt that it made sense. Is it a good thing to be hit by fruit? He insisted on grabbing it. Because of this, he didn't deal with Zhou Gu for a long time.
He knocked on his forehead and said, "Uh-huh," "It's my brother's fault. I'll apologize to you and come drink."
"You punish yourself with three drinks." Zhou Gu glanced at him.
Xie Lin paused, "No, you know I can't drink well. If you drink me down right now, no one will talk to you."
Zhou Gu thought so, picked up the cup and clinked it with him, "Then drink slowly!"
Xie Lin nodded, "You can't drink this kind of good wine. It's too wasteful. It's still early. Let's drink it slowly." He was willing to go all out today and planned to stay with Zhou Gu until he got drunk. He apologized to him apologetically.
, "Um, brother, I'm really sorry for you. I really didn't expect that I just said a casual word, and I never thought that you really couldn't get married."
Zhou Gu snorted and said angrily, "I really shouldn't have been so kind back then. I should have really found someone for you in the brothel. Maybe I would have broken your crow's mouth."
Xie Lin had nothing to say. That day, he got drunk in Zuihua House. Zhou Gu seemed to be reading "Historical Records" while waiting for him to wake up. He really didn't do anything evil to him. He was loyal enough, which made him feel even more guilty.
He said, "I will never curse you randomly again. If there is a next time, let me be a bachelor for the rest of my life and die alone."
Zhou Gu glanced at him sideways and said nothing.
"I'm not joking. You know that my family has a throne that is hereditary for me. I can't be a bachelor and die alone. What I said is absolutely sincere." Xie Lin expressed his position again and again.
He is different from Zhou Gu. Zhou Gu has a brother who is a legitimate brother of his compatriot, and the title of Protector of the Kingdom is inherited by his brother, but he has no legitimate brother. The future throne of Ruian Palace will be his as long as he does not make a big mistake.
Zhou Gu finally nodded, "Okay!"
"Then will you forgive me?" Xie Lin asked him.
Zhou Gu pointed to the wine in front of him and said, "You have drank today, so I will forgive you."
Xie Lin grimaced, "With so much, you'll drink it to death, right?"
"No." Zhou Gu reached into his arms, took out a square box, placed it in front of him, and said thoughtfully: "There are sobering pills here. If you feel you can't do it, just take one."
Xie Lin opened his eyes wide, "I feel dizzy now."
"Then take one now."
"Have you finished eating?"
"After you finish eating, keep drinking."
Xie Lin: "..."
He figured it out. Zhou Gu Jin'er came here to settle a score with him. Not only did he spend all his money, but he also wanted to make him drunk to death, otherwise the matter would not be settled.
He silently opened the box, took out a hangover pill, stuffed it into his mouth, then nodded to him and said bravely: "Okay, today I will risk my life to accompany you."
Zhou Guqing sneered, "Looking at how much you cherish your life, how can you even talk about sacrificing your life?"
Xie Lin was blocked and muttered, "Isn't there a saying? It doesn't cost me money, it costs my life. You spent so much money on me today, which can be regarded as killing me. In the next period of time, I
But I don’t have any money to go out to eat or drink. I can’t shame myself anymore and go to my mother to ask for money.”
Zhou Gu reminded him, "No, you still have one hundred taels."
Xie Lin: "..."
Should he be happy? But when the shopkeeper returned the money bag to him, he was very happy to hear that there was still one hundred taels left.
After Su Rong came out of the Protector's Mansion, she didn't go anywhere. She returned along the original road and went directly back to the Princess Mansion.
The housekeeper was very happy to see her back, "Miss Qi, you are back so soon? The princess just sent someone to ask, saying that if you haven't come back after noon, she will go out to find you personally."
Su Rong thought that she just came back directly because she was afraid of her looking around. She smiled and said, "After the things are done, I will come back naturally. She said she would keep me here for another two days. I dare not refuse her, otherwise your county will
The Lord's temper will be unyielding."
The butler smiled cheerfully, "Our princess likes you. I watched the princess grow up. From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen the princess treat anyone as well as you."
Su Rong pursed her lips and smiled, "She just loves to play, and I also love to play."
The housekeeper nodded and personally accompanied Su Rong back to the Cangjiao Pavilion. He stopped at the door and said to her: "Since you came to the Princess Mansion, our work has become easier. Just listen to the Princess. No matter how much you say,
Stay for a few days. If you get bored living in the mansion, our princess mansion also has several villages. Now is the time when the fruits are ripe. You can go to the village to stay and relax. "
Su Rong smiled and nodded, "Okay."
When the housekeeper saw her agreeing nicely, he happily stopped talking and went about his business.
When Duan Hua heard the movement at the door, he immediately rushed out of the house and looked at her in surprise, "Why did you come back so soon? Did the Protector's Palace beat you out?"
Su Rong thought that she had a deep misunderstanding of the Protector's Palace. In her opinion, the Protector's Palace was really reasonable. She came to break off the engagement, whether it was the old Protector, the eldest princess Sheng'an, or the Duke's wife.
, he didn’t have any embarrassment towards her at all, he didn’t say any unpleasant words, and he didn’t even give her a cold face. To her, he was already extremely kind to her.
She shook her head and said the same thing, "I'll come back when the things are done." She emphasized, "I wasn't beaten. The Duke Protector's Office is very polite and not one to be unreasonable."
Zhou Gu, in particular, was extremely well-educated. He was so angry that he even sent her out personally.
Duan Hua held her arm and was shocked, "Did you really break off the engagement?"
Could such a big matter as breaking off the engagement be resolved so quickly? And she was the only one who went there, and she came back safe and sound.
Su Rong nodded, "The engagement is really broken off. The engagement has been terminated, the marriage certificate has been destroyed, and the tokens have been exchanged for each other. Even the gifts that Zhou Gu and I gave each other will be returned to each other. I made it clear."
Duan Hua: "..."
She pulled Su Rong into the house and said, "Tell me what happened. How could it be so easy to break off the engagement? Didn't the old Protector say something about you? Didn't Zhou Gu fall out with you? Didn't Princess Sheng'an scold you?
? No matter how good-tempered the Duke's wife is, she is still angry, right?"
Su Rong shook his head, "None of what you said."
Duan Hua: "..."
She became suspicious, "Could it be that the Protector's Palace has long wanted to break off the engagement with you? It's just waiting for you to come to the door? So, for you to take the initiative to break off the engagement and be so acquainted with me, the Duke's Palace could not ask for more?"
Su Ronxiao, "That's not the case."
She was pulled in by Duan Hua and went directly into the back room, closing the door. Duan Hua stared at her with burning eyes, full of curiosity and confusion about this matter.
Su Rong did not hide anything from her, and directly told the story of the breakup of the engagement. Of course, she concealed the part about her mother and her life experience.
After hearing this, Duan Hua said: "..."
She looked at Su Rong with horror on her face, held it in for a long time, and then commented, "Zhou Gu is right. You are so brave. You dare to say such outrageous things."
Su Rong was speechless. She didn't want to, but Zhou Gu said harsh words. She was afraid that he would do something out of his youth and become a monk. She broke off the engagement with him for the sake of both of them. If he was not good
, which also goes against her original intention of breaking off the engagement.
In this case, what does it mean to be heart-wrenching?
The fact was just as he expected, he agreed to break off the engagement and never said a word about leaving home. After all, it was enough that her goal was achieved.
Duan Hua sat down and said, "Zhou Gu didn't draw his sword on you?"
Su Rong touched her nose and said, "I was also afraid that he would draw a sword on me."
It would be bad to start a fight in the old Protector's study. After all, if he drew his sword, she would definitely fight back. She would not be the one who got beaten, even if she came to cancel the engagement and settle the dispute.
Duan Hua glared at Su Rong angrily, "You are really going too far. Zhou Gu is so kind. I take back the words I used to scold him."
Su Rong said deliberately: "You don't need to take it back. After all, he didn't draw his sword against me. If it were you, he would definitely draw his sword."
Duan Hua: "..."
She was so angry that she stretched out her hand to hit Su Rong, "Oh, I'm going to kill you. I'll beat you to death."
Su Rong immediately dodged away, and the two of them immediately made a fuss.
Duan Hua chased Su Rong to fight, but naturally she couldn't hit her. Instead, she was panting from exhaustion. She lay on the table and glared at Su Rong across the table, "Repeat what you just said, otherwise I will never finish with you."
Su Rong's face was neither red nor out of breath. He looked at her with a smile across the table, pretending to beg for mercy, "Okay, okay, aunt, let me say it again, if it were you, he wouldn't dare to draw the sword. If he dared to draw the sword, Your Majesty will
