Chapter 241 Retiring
When Liu Ruosi came to Mrs. Liu Er's room, she saw that Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu Er were looking very relaxed. Rong Chenghan was sitting on the chair under the kang. When Liu Ruosi came to see her, his eyes fell on
On Liu Ruosi's body. Liu Ruosi always felt that Rong Chenghan's eyes were a little piercing.
I don’t know what Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu Er said to Rong Chenghan, Liu Ruosi thought to herself. However, she just learned that Rong Chenghan had never returned to the palace, but was waiting for news in the front yard, and she inevitably felt a little sad.
No matter what, Rong Chenghan is very concerned about her family's affairs, and he is also a caring and powerful person.
"...I just went to see Brother Wen, and we discussed that we would like to eat Bazhen hot pot at night..." Liu Ruosi sat down next to Mrs. Liu Er, said with a smile, and glanced at Rong Chenghan. Rong Chenghan is still here
Here, I must be staying here to get some food. She did the right thing by ordering the kitchen to add food just now.
When Liu Ruosi said this, Mrs. Liu Er naturally agreed and asked Rong Chenghan to stay and have dinner with her.
To Liu Ruosi's surprise, Rong Chenghan shook his head and refused. After a few words, Rong Chenghan said goodbye. Neither Mr. Liu Er nor Mrs. Liu Er tried to persuade him to stay, and everyone sent Rong Chenghan out together.
When she returned to the house again, Mrs. Liu Er whispered to Liu Ruosi that she had already told Rong Chenghan everything about Liu Ruojuan.
"You shouldn't hide it from anyone, and you shouldn't hide it from him. Besides, we can trust him. I'm afraid the princess may have other ideas, so tell him first so that he can be prepared..."
Liu Ruosi was silent for a long time. The Su family would definitely have an explanation. Even if the Su family didn't want to do it herself, she was afraid that Su Qingnuan would instigate it.
"At worst, it's just a matter of breaking off the engagement. Who cares about their family very much?" Liu Ruosi said.
"Child talk." Mrs. Liu Er shook her head.
Liu Ruosi remained silent. What she said just now was actually not entirely sincere. When it came to canceling the engagement, Liu Ruosi was naturally not afraid, but if she wanted to cancel the engagement, she should be the one to propose it, and it would be Rong Chenghan's turn.
I mentioned it at the same time. Besides, being divorced because of Liu Ruojuan’s incident would be too uncomfortable.
However, can Rong Chenghan withstand Su's pressure? Can he convince Su?
Chunhui Hall of Prince Yongjing’s Mansion
When Mrs. Su came back from Liu Mansion, she stepped back and talked to Su Qingnuan for a long time. Su Qingnuan just left her and went to the residence of the concubine, leaving Mrs. Su with her eyebrows furrowed and feeling quite depressed.
Sitting on the couch.
"Tell the third master at the door to come back and ask him to come see me immediately." Mrs. Su ordered the little girl who was waiting on her.
After sending the little girl out, Mrs. Su continued to frown. Just now in Liu Mansion, she had been sensitively aware that something bad had happened. After she came back, what Su Qingnuan told her made her even more confused.
Her guess was confirmed. Just now, the people she sent to inquire for information came back and told them about the movements of the eldest princess and her family. In Su's heart, things seemed to be very clear.
The Liu family had managed to conceal the incident just now, but this matter would surely spread slowly. No matter how much the Liu family and the Zhengding family tried to cover it up, everyone would be suspicious. Su weighed it up and felt that she had to start again.
Consider the marriage between Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruosi.
Fortunately, it was just an engagement, and the person hadn't married yet, so everything was still in time. Or maybe this matter was God's will. After withdrawing from the Liu family, Rong Chenghan could naturally marry Su Qingnuan. In this way, it was also
Everyone is happy, and it will definitely be a good story in the future.
Just as Mrs. Su was thinking about it, a girl outside reported that Rong Chenghan was here.
"Please come in quickly." Mrs. Su quickly ordered.
The little girl opened the door curtain, and Rong Chenghan stepped closer. He had obviously just returned home, and he was still wearing the clothes he wore when attending the banquet at the Liu family. Noticing this, Su felt a little comforted. Anyway, she summoned,
Rong Chenghan came in such a hurry. This shows that in Rong Chenghan's mind, she still has weight as a mother-in-law.
Thinking like this, Mrs. Su carefully looked at Rong Chenghan's face. Rong Chenghan did not go back to the house with them, but stayed in the Liu Mansion. I am afraid he also knows something about what happened in the Liu Mansion. But Mr. Liu Er and Liu
The second wife would definitely hide it from him, fearing that he would look down on Liu Ruosi and their marriage would change. Su looked carefully, but did not find any clues on Rong Chenghan's face.
Rong Chenghan looks like Prince Yongjing. Prince Yongjing has always been secretive about his joyful behavior. The older Rong Chenghan gets, the more he looks like an old prince.
Su sighed inexplicably and asked Rong Chenghan to sit next to her.
Although there was no one else in the room, Rong Chenghan still picked up the chair he usually sat on, which was not far or close to the Su family.
"...Did you just come back from Liu Mansion?" Su asked Rong Chenghan.
"Yes." Rong Chenghan nodded and replied.
"You must already know what happened in the Liu Mansion?" Su asked again, with a hint of probing.
"What is the mother-in-law referring to?" Rong Chenghan asked rhetorically.
"Oh..." Mrs. Su said a few more insinuations, but Rong Chenghan didn't reveal anything about her. Su Shi couldn't find any flaws in Rong Chenghan's attitude and words, so she didn't want to make any more detours with Rong Chenghan.
"...I have inquired clearly...that such an incompetent thing happened. The tutor of the Liu family is also very disappointing!" Mrs. Su said, "Your marriage to Miss Liu San needs to be considered again.
Consider it."
Su did not say from the beginning that she wanted Rong Chenghan to break off the engagement with the Liu family.
"Concubine, what fault did Ah Si have? What does it have to do with her, and what does it have to do with our marriage. Concubine, I am worried too much." Rong Chenghan said.
"Why am I worrying too much? When marrying a virtuous wife, most people have to pay attention to this, let alone a family like ours. If you marry her, how will people talk about the palace, and how will people talk about you. The face of our palace, and you
Don’t you even want to lose your own face?”
Su Shi became a little excited as she spoke.
"Don't think that because I'm in the house all day, I don't know what's going on outside." Mrs. Su said to Rong Chenghan again, "Miss Liu San has a niece who was actually given to the natal brother of Guan Shilang's concubine.
Neither a wife nor a concubine. This time the second girl in her family has done such an untalented thing, which has brought shame on us. This marriage is absolutely impossible."
Rong Chenghan was silent. Su glanced at Rong Chenghan and seemed to feel that Rong Chenghan was a little loose.
"The third girl of the Liu family is not a good match for you. My mother is from here. Although the third girl is outstanding in appearance, she is not a candidate for a good wife. You insisted on marrying her before. There are young people who are in love with beauty.
Although my mother-in-law disagrees, she does not forcefully stop you. But things are different now, we cannot marry the Liu family!"
"I'm afraid they are hiding this matter from you. If you don't believe what I say, feel free to ask... My mother-in-law makes the decision for you, and you don't need to come forward to cancel the marriage and find another one." Liu
It's inconvenient for you to go to Hanlin's place. There are many famous scholars in the capital, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find a good gentleman." It seemed that Su had thought carefully and had considered all the future matters for Rong Chenghan.
"Mother, Concubine, Ah Si is not at fault in any of these things. Does Concubine agree?" Rong Chenghan asked Su Shi calmly.
Su Shi hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly. Whether it was the eldest sister being sent to the Guo Mansion or what Liu Ruojuan did today, it was not Liu Ruosi's fault. But so what. That was all
The Liu family, Liu Ruosi is also the Liu family.
"Have you ever thought about what will happen to Ah Si if I break off the engagement with Ah Si?" Rong Chenghan asked again when he saw Su nodded.
If Rong Chenghan breaks off his engagement with Liu Ruosi at this time, it will definitely have a great impact on Liu Ruosi's reputation. If she is a girl who can't let it go, there's no telling what kind of tragedy will happen as a result.
"This..." Mrs. Su avoided Rong Chenghan's eyes, "There's nothing we can do about it. She is from the Liu family."
"My mother and concubine have always been kind people. Ah Si is right, but she has to suffer like this. How can my mother and concubine bear it?" Rong Chenghan said.
Su Shi almost never thought about what she couldn't bear and what would happen to Liu Ruosi as a result. What she was thinking about was naturally Rong Chenghan and Su Qingnuan.
"Is it true that my mother-in-law should make you suffer for her sake?!" Su Shi said. She had just listened to Su Qingnuan's words. At this time, she only said that Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruosi would cancel their engagement, and did not mention Su Qingnuan.
.
"I don't feel any grievance." Rong Chenghan said, "If we go by my mother-in-law's opinion, what happened to our second brother a few days ago seems to be not decent. My father-in-law and mother-in-law already know about it.
But he did not doubt my character and was still willing to marry Ah Si to me."
"Now, naturally I will not dislike Ah Si because of her cousin's affairs. Do you think what I said is right?" Rong Chenghan asked Su again.
Su was left speechless for a long time by Rong Chenghan. She did not expect that Rong Chenghan would mention Rong Chengxiang's incident to compare with Liu Ruojuan's incident.
"This...how is this the same..." Su Shi could only say.
"The mother-in-law has always been a virtuous person. How can she not be as generous as Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu Er?" Rong Chenghan asked again, "My father will never implicate others because of this matter."
Rong Chenghan suddenly mentioned the old prince again. Su's expression changed slightly and she was speechless for a while.
"It's not that my mother-in-law is angry with your Ah Si because of the other members of the Liu family." When she spoke again, Su's tone seemed to be filled with resentment, "Do you know what kind of cold-blooded person your Ah Si is?"
"What do you say, Concubine Mother?" Rong Chenghan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Your seventh sister was with her in the garden. Miss Liu Er's girl once asked her for help, but she refused to pay any attention. As an outsider, your seventh sister couldn't bear it. After trying to persuade her several times, she even got angry at you.
Sister, how could such a cool person enter the palace?" Mrs. Su looked at Rong Chenghan. In order to convince Rong Chenghan, Ms. Su had to say what Su Qingnuan told her. Although Su Qingnuan had told her,
