Chapter 719 Meeting with Sanlang Hejia
Aunt Rui knew Tang Ning's identity, and naturally understood that she was no longer the same as before.
After Xiao Yan ascended the throne, she would also move into the inner palace, but things in the palace were far more complicated than those outside. She had heard too many stories in previous operas about infighting in the harem that often resulted in deaths.
Aunt Rui wanted to ask if Tang Ning was doing okay in the palace and how she was doing now, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
She was just a brothel girl. The most she had ever seen were playboys and lustful officials. The most she knew was about the things between men and women. She couldn't help Tang Ning, and asking too many questions would only be a burden. So in the end, all her advice and concerns were just turned into one sentence.
"take care of yourself".
Tang Ning seemed to see her momentary hesitation, and pulled her closer, saying softly, "I'm fine, and everything is fine in the palace. My brother has put the court in order now. After the coronation ceremony and the coronation of the queen, I'll let Aru take you to the palace to play."
Seeing that Aunt Rui wanted to speak, Tang Ning said directly:
"Don't refuse."
Tang Ning held Aunt Rui's hand, which was painted with nail polish but had thin calluses, with a serious expression.
"Aunt Rui, you are A'ru's elder and the head of Jishan Hall. There are not many women in the capital who are better than you. Don't look down on yourself."
Aunt Rui felt warm in her heart and smiled: "Okay, after the Queen's affairs are settled, A'ru and I will go to the palace to visit you."
…
Aunt Rui sent Tang Ning and Zhou Yuchang to the door. When they got on the carriage, through the curtain they could still see the smiling woman in front of the door and a group of children dancing and waving at them.
Zhou Yuchang felt a little reluctant: "Tang Ning, can I come here again in the future?"
Tang Ning laughed: "Of course."
She lowered the car curtain and said, "Aunt Rui loves crowds, and the children in Jishan Hall also like to have people visit them. Aunt Rui and the others will be very happy if you come over. It's just that this place is remote, and the people living around here are messy, so if you come, remember to bring someone with you."
Zhou Yuchang nodded: "Okay."
Perhaps it's because my mind is clearer, or perhaps it's because the dark clouds in my heart are gone, the noise and bustle on the streets that were so disturbing when I came here before have now become full of life.
The carriage beneath him was no longer as hurried as before and was moving slowly forward.
Zhou Yuchang pinched her fingers for a long time, and then secretly glanced at Tang Ning several times. After a long while, she mustered up the courage to whisper, "I'm sorry for what happened before."
She shouldn't have spoken to Tang Ning like that, nor should she have vented her grievances on her.
Tang Ning was smart and naturally knew what she was talking about. She smiled and said, "What's there to be sorry about? People can say anything when they are extremely angry. I don't know how many times I have heard things that are more unpleasant than what you said. Besides, what I said to you could not be pleasant at all. I hope you don't take it to heart and blame me."
Zhou Yuchang smiled softly: "I know you are doing this for my own good."
Her mind seemed to be covered with a layer of fog these days. She was immersed in the things that had happened to her and could not see anything else clearly.
She couldn't see that A Yue lived in Rong's house every day to take care of her and refused to go back to Qian's house, and stayed with her day and night without daring to close her eyes.
She couldn't see her mother crying every night because of her, and her hair turned white in just a few days. Aunt Yue took great pains to take care of them, wishing she could do her best to make her well.
Everyone tried their best to pull her out of the quagmire, but she committed suicide.
Tang Ning's words were like a stick that woke her up, making her realize what stupid things she had done.
Thinking of Qian Qiyue who threw herself on the bed this morning, crying and covering her neck in fear, and the fainted Mrs. Wenxinhou, Zhou Yuchang was filled with regret.
Zhou Yuchang reached out and touched the white cloth around her neck, whispering, "You woke me up with your scolding."
If she really died, my mother would probably not be able to survive.
And there is A Yue, who has always been bright and cheerful. I'm afraid she will really live in a nightmare of guilt for the rest of her life because of her death, and she won't be able to get out of it for a long, long time.
Tang Ning looked at the guilt on Zhou Yuchang's face and heard the regret in her words, and couldn't help but raise her lips slightly.
The Zhou Yuchang she knew was just like that. She came from a noble family but had a gentle temperament and a kind heart. She sympathized with the weak and could distinguish between good and evil. Just like when they were not familiar with each other, when she was notorious and everyone was scolding her, Zhou Yuchang could still get along with her gently.
Although she is not as straightforward and bright as Qian Qiyue, she is also a very good girl.
The two spoke calmly, and no one mentioned what happened before.
Because they were worried about the unconscious wife of Marquis Wenxin, and Qian Qiyue and the others were probably also worried because they had been out for so long, Tang Ning and the others did not take a detour anywhere else and took a carriage directly back to Rong's residence. However, they suddenly stopped before the carriage got close.
Yue Jian's hesitant voice came from outside: "Girl, there is someone in front."
Tang Ning was puzzled. Is there anyone there?
She pulled the curtain and looked over there, and saw He Jin standing in front of the gate of Rong's house. A young servant was following behind him. He was talking to Gu Helian who was standing in front of the door. Gu Helian reached out to stop him.
He Jin's voice came: "Master Gu, I just want to go in and see Yu Chang and say a few words to her."
Gu Helian: "Mrs. Zhou is not in good health and is not seeing outsiders. It's not good for you, a foreign man, to come to the Rong Mansion every day."
"I am Yu Chang's fiancé!"
"Since I'm not married, I'm not your husband."
"you……"
He Jin frowned tightly, feeling that the Gu family's patriarch was simply making far-fetched arguments!
"Master Gu, I don't know what happened, but the relationship between Yu Chang and me was already agreed upon by our two families, and I only recognize her as my wife."
"She hasn't been out in public for a while, and she said she was injured. I'm really worried about her. Send someone in to tell her that I got a little emotional yesterday and had an argument with her. I just want to see her and ask her in person what happened. If anything happens, we can both families take care of it..."
When Zhou Yuchang heard the sound outside, her body froze, and her face, which had originally relaxed, turned pale.
Tang Ning said to the outside: "Yue Jian, change the route to Jiyun Lane..."
"Tang Ning." Zhou Yuchang reached out and grabbed Tang Ning's hand: "No need, I'll go see him."
"But……"
Tang Ning looked at Zhou Yuchang with worry. She had finally managed to comfort her and help her calm down and give up her desire to die. However, some things were not so easy to get over, and Zhou Yuchang could not really forget the pain so quickly.
It would be fine for other people, but He Jin was different. She was afraid that Zhou Yuchang would be stimulated again.
Zhou Yuchang met Tang Ning's worried eyes, her palms turning cold, but her face was very calm: "It's nothing, my marriage with him has long been known to everyone. I can't avoid him forever. I want to break off the engagement with the He family, I have to give them a reason."
