The Duke's wife hugged Zhou Gu and noticed that his body was trembling slightly. Every time he said a word, the trembling became aggravated. She felt very distressed, but could not say anything.
He understands very well in his heart, he understands things so well, and he has already said that he will give it a try. How can she, a mother, have the heart to persuade him and force him to lecture him?
She could only hold him, pat his shoulders, and comfort him.
After a while, Zhou Gu put down his hand, said with red eyes and a hoarse voice: "Mom, I still have things to do, I have to leave the house."
The Duke's wife sighed, let go of him, and asked softly: "Did the investigation of the case not go well?"
Zhou Guqing said "Hmm", "When it comes to the Imperial Guards, who can put their hands into the Imperial Guards? Several princes, important ministers in the court, and even concubines in the palace, except for the East Palace and the Protector's Palace, there are
possible."
The Imperial Guards never interfered with the East Palace and the Protector's Palace. They kept a low profile for fear of being stared at by the emperor, let alone reaching in.
Madame Guo Gong wanted to say that if you try to let go of Su Rong, you should avoid everything involving her. This case is not yours to investigate. But she thought, you can avoid it for a while, but can you avoid it forever? Su Rong is now
In the capital, the Protector's Mansion can never avoid Su Rong because of its promise to Princess Zhenmin. Even if Zhou Gu avoids it, will it be of any use? With restraint to the extreme, as he said, what will happen?
No one knows the consequences. It's better to follow his heart and let him do the things he can interfere with, and maybe he can gradually let go.
So, she stopped asking any more questions and gently told her, "Then go and get busy! But no matter how busy you are, you still have to pay attention to your health. People still have to sleep."
"I know." Zhou Gu nodded.
The Duke's wife watched Zhou Gu leave Shuanglin Garden. She did not leave immediately. Instead, she sat where Zhou Gu had just sat. She sat quietly for a while and covered her eyes with her hands.
Back then, when the Duke of Guo died in the war, Zhou Gu was still a toddler, and her eldest son could only wrap around her knees. At that time, she felt that the sky was falling, and she wished she could hang herself from the rafters with a rope. But when she saw her two children, how could she bear the thought that they had no children?
Losing her father and losing her mother? Even if she wanted to die, she had to hold herself back.
So, she got sick, gritted her teeth, and got through it.
But for more than fifteen years, in the dead of night, when she was alone and unable to sleep, how could she not think about the person beside her whom she once fell in love with and planned to stay with for the rest of her life? How could she regret it more than once, and how could she have stopped him so desperately?
, not letting him go to the battlefield?
Because she knew she was going to die, but she did not try her best to stop it, thus destroying the loyalty and passion of the Protectorate, including the men of the Protectorate who died in the battlefield, and her sisters-in-law who became widows like her.
Even she, the duchess of the country, regretted it. She didn't believe that they never cried or regretted when no one was behind their backs?
The most irresistible thing is the separation between life and death, the separation between yin and yang, the family, country and world, and the righteousness of life and death.
She has two sons. The eldest son is the eldest grandson of the Duke Protector. There is no other way. He should be born with the responsibility of the Duke Protector. This is the responsibility of every eldest grandson of a prosperous family. He inherits the title and gets 70% of the responsibility.
It is natural for the family property to be guarded by the Protectorate. But what about the youngest son? Even at an old age, how many young sons are still idle, happy to enjoy themselves, accomplish nothing in learning, and have no ambitions? He should get the small share of family property he deserves.
There is no need to bear the burden of the family. These are the normal young sons of a high-ranking mansion in Beijing.
And her youngest son has been burdened with being too smart since he was a child.
Of course, she didn't think her father-in-law did anything wrong, and no one in the Protector's Palace thought he did anything wrong. Because, although the path he chose for Zhou Gu was for the good of the Protector's Palace, more importantly, it was also
In order for Zhou Gu to have a smooth road, his name will go down in history and be praised for thousands of years.
The world is prosperous and there are tens of millions of people. How many people can be remembered in history? A dynasty only has a few people.
But now, her son asked her in a hoarse voice, does he want to see the person he likes sleeping with someone else and regret it for the rest of his life? Everyone, including Su Rong, thinks that his personal relationship is insignificant and not enough.
Is it comparable to these?
She may not be able to answer, but she has to follow his words to think deeply and examine the path he chose. If he is allowed to go on like this, will he eventually become a walking dead? Will he regret it when he is old?
Do you deeply regret being lonely at night and dreaming back at midnight?
No! She had been regretting being alone for sixteen years in the dead of night, and she couldn't let his son be like her.
Today's Duke Protector's Mansion is not facing a life-or-death disaster, and today's Liang national strength is no longer as weak as it was back then. Her son, if he wants to keep his peace of mind for the rest of his life for his own personal love, he may give up a lot of things.
But as long as he doesn't regret the marriage, what's the problem?
She put down her hands, stood up quickly, left Shuanglin Garden, and went to the yard of Princess Sheng'an.
The Duke's wife walked so fast that the maidservants who were serving her were startled and shouted "Madam" one after another. The Duke's wife acted as if she hadn't heard. She walked in a hurry, never been so fast before, and rushed towards Sheng'an Dachang like a gust of wind.
The princess's yard.
She has never been so disrespectful, disrespectful, and dignified.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an didn't sleep well yesterday, or in other words, she hadn't slept well for many days because of Zhou Gu's affairs. Seeing the Duke's wife rushing in like a wind, she was also startled and stood up immediately
Ask: "What happened?"
The Duke's wife stood firm, took a few breaths and said, "Mother, let them all get out!"
The eldest princess of Sheng'an waved her hand, and the people who were serving them quickly retreated, leaving only her and the Duke's wife in the room.
The Duke's wife took a deep breath, stepped forward to help the eldest princess Sheng'an, and sat down next to her, "Mother, when Brother Gu returned home just now, he met Mr. Ye Er from Ye Xiang's Mansion on the way. That night
The second young master is going to Shen Mansion to find Su Rong."
With these words, Princess Sheng'an's face changed slightly, "How is Brother Gu?"
The Duke's wife lowered her voice and recounted Zhou Gu's condition and what he said to Princess Sheng'an.
After hearing this, Princess Sheng'an covered her heart and didn't speak for a long time.
The Duke's wife knew that she was also distressed. When it came to hurting Zhou Gu, no one hurt her more than the eldest princess of Sheng'an. When he went to the East Palace to study with him, she would ask him every day what he did in the East Palace. When he left the capital to go to Jiangning
When she was in the county, she looked forward to the days, fearing that he would not be able to eat well, wear well, drink well, and wait for him to come back safely.
She said softly: "Mother, your surname is Yan, and you are the eldest princess of Daliang. Back then, when the Wei Dynasty invaded, all my husband and brothers went to the battlefield. You, both in the country and at home, could not stop me. My husband and brothers died in the battle.
My daughter-in-law, I wonder if you have ever regretted even leaving a son behind in these years? But I will tell you the truth today. In these years, my daughter-in-law has often regretted losing her husband and her loved one. Even though she knew she could stop her, she might not be able to stop him.
But the daughter-in-law didn't say a word to stop her, she just silently put on her husband's armor and sent him out of the house. He left in such a hurry that he didn't even reach the city gate..."
Princess Sheng'an shed tears.
The Duke's wife also shed tears. Both of them, with both faces, cried silently. Who said crying loudly was the most painful? They were in pain silently, but it lasted for more than ten years.
The Duke's wife choked up and said: "Mom, although Brother Gu said he would give it a try, my daughter-in-law was afraid that he would suffer hardship and restrain himself for a long time, and still couldn't let go. But Su Rong and Ye Guixue gave birth to a child during this period. Feelings, then my Brother Gu..."
She covered her face and said, "That's when there really is no room left."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an stood up.
The Duke's wife put down her hands, and stood up as her mother did not stand while she was sitting, and called out, "Mother."
Princess Sheng'an stood for a moment, took out her handkerchief, slowly wiped the tears from her face, and said calmly: "You are right."
She shouted, "Someone's coming!"
The nanny who was serving her was always guarding the door. She opened the door and came in, "Eldest Princess?"
The eldest princess of Sheng'an ordered, "Go to Shen's Mansion quickly and go there in person. Tell me that I have something important to do and ask Su Rong to come to the Protector's Mansion today."
The personal nanny responded and went immediately.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an slowly sat down and said to the Duke's wife: "Dang Duan is constantly being disturbed by him. This is Su Rong's plan to break off the engagement without doing anything else. The longer he delays, the more involved he will be with Gu Geer." If there are too many, it will be detrimental to both sides. But now, many days have passed, and Brother Gu is still so reluctant to let go. And to be able to say these words to you today, he must be suffering to the extreme in his heart, and you are the one who asked for it. It was just the right time to let him reveal his true feelings to you when his heart was at its weakest. As a mother, what kind of righteousness do you still uphold at this time? Why do you ask for a smooth journey and a long history? You can't think what he thinks. , ask him for what he asks for, answer his questions, and resolve his confusion, if you just blindly blind your heart with lard, then you will always lose your son's natural trust in you as a mother. In other words, there is no maternal love. Unkind and unkind.”
After finishing speaking, Princess Sheng'an held the hand of the Duke's wife and pulled her to sit down, "So, you are right to come to me today. I am also a mother and his grandmother. I will only look forward to him. Well, I won’t watch him ruin myself and regret it for the rest of my life.”
Dear friends, I came back from the meeting and I am too tired to have any energy. Please pay more for your monthly ticket!
