Chapter 338: Reconciliation
At that time, Xu Zhou was teaching Lu Qin how to write. When he suddenly heard the bad news, he subconsciously stood up and accidentally pushed Lu Qin out, causing Lu Qin to hit the table without even noticing.
He ran out in a daze as if he had lost his soul.
When he finally ran to Shao's house.
He had to endure the cold stares of everyone in the Shaofu.
But even though everyone in the Shaofu treated him coldly, they still let him in and let him see Shao Rong.
Fortunately, Shao Rong's maid discovered it early, and the doctor rescued her in time, thus pulling her back from the brink of death.
Her face was as pale as paper, her lips were bloodless, and her eyes were full of red bloodshot.
When Xu Zhou stumbled over, he saw Shao Rong like this. His pupils shrank sharply, his voice became hoarse, and he almost couldn't stand.
"cousin……"
Shao Rong turned her head away from him, only facing him with her slender back, her voice choked with sobs and hoarse, "I thought my cousin would never want to see me again, but I didn't expect him to come after all."
"What do you want, cousin?"
"Are you here to see if I'm dead?"
"You never called me cousin before."
Xu Zhou's pupils constricted. He didn't call her cousin before, but called her Arong. When did he start calling her cousin?
It was after she got engaged.
"Arong, you have a good marriage, it shouldn't be like this. If you die now, how will your family explain to the King of Wei?"
His voice was so choked and hoarse that he didn't know where he got the strength to finish speaking.
Shao Rong's tears fell, her eyes filled with sadness, her lips and teeth trembling, "I understand, after all, my cousin still blames me!"
She hit herself hard, causing the gauze hidden in her hand to bleed again.
"What's the point of living?"
"What on earth does it mean?"
"I'd rather die than not! I'd rather die right now!"
"Why did you save me? Why!"
Shao Rong beat herself in pain.
Xu Zhou's pupils constricted, and he immediately rushed forward to stop her, grabbing her hand to stop her from hurting herself any further.
He closed his eyes, his voice sad and painful, for himself and Shao Rong. He didn't understand why God was so unkind to the two of them, making them not destined to be together, and leading to the current situation.
"Cousin, I'm not blaming you, but you should just live well."
"Cousin, since it has already happened, you should embroider your wedding dress well."
"It's because our Xu family is too humble to be worthy of you."
So she would rather marry the King of Wei as a concubine than pay attention to him.
But there was one thing Xu Zhou didn't quite understand. Since Shao Rong had already decided to marry King Wei as a concubine, why did she keep coming to his house to pester him?
Why does she still get jealous and angry when she sees him standing with someone else?
Doesn't she feel that her behavior has crossed the line?
Shao Rong bit her lip, her expression sad, but she tugged at Xu Zhou's sleeve with a sense of grievance, "I knew you still resented me, cousin. You blamed me for wanting to marry the King of Wei as a concubine."
Although she was a concubine, in the eyes of the world, she married to be a concubine.
"But cousin, marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers. Of course, the person I want to marry more than the King of Wei is you, but my parents are threatening to commit suicide. If I don't go to the King of Wei's mansion, I will see their corpses. What can I do?"
She cried so hard that she was broken and fragile.
She clutched Xu Zhou's sleeve tightly, her face full of sadness, looking like a fragile and sick beauty.
"Don't I want to marry you regardless of everything? But do you want me to lose my parents from now on?"
"Cousin, you have parents too. If your parents force you to do this, then you have no choice but to compromise!"
Xu Zhou lowered his head, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed, and he felt something suddenly shattered.
He smiled bitterly twice, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Shao Rong with a clear expression, "But that's not what you said at that time."
At that time, he said that the Xu family was of such low status that he was worthy of having desires for her.
Tell him to go back and wash his face and look at himself. Don't be a toad dreaming of eating swan flesh.
He kept these words in his heart and didn't dare to ask for a moment, so he could only hide all his feelings for Shao Rong.
She could only seek solace in Lu Qin, who was somewhat similar to Shao Rong.
But Shao Rong is such a domineering and selfish person that she doesn't even seem to allow such a small thing.
Shao Rong bit her lip and said, "Yes, that's what I said at the time."
She did not defend herself for what she had done in the past, but instead her tears fell one by one onto the back of Xu Zhou's hand.
Xu Zhou only felt that her tears were surprisingly hot.
"If I don't say this, cousin, will you be willing to take me away regardless of everything? Then the two of us can just leave, but what about our parents?"
"Besides, what I said is absolutely correct. If the Xu family wasn't of low status, why would we have to endure such hardships? We were childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven. There shouldn't be so many people getting in between us. It's because of the Xu family's low status that everything is ruined!"
Xu Zhou smiled bitterly twice.
He should say something at this moment.
At least he should have scolded Shao Rong a word or two, but looking at his fragile expression, he didn't know how to start.
Shao Rong looked at him, her tone softening rarely, "Cousin, are you still angry with me?"
