After this, the Regent's Palace came to the He Mansion to pick up people more and more frequently.
Su Wanti stayed in the Regent's Palace for longer and longer periods of time.
From the first one night, to one day and one night, and now to three days and two nights.
He's parents couldn't help but worry. They found out that neither Miss Qin from Yihong Tower nor Miss Jiu from Chuxiangyuan entered the palace anymore.
Judging from the situation, the Regent is quite fond of Su!
Now, he often detains Su and returns her after a few days. Could it be that the Regent wants to take Su for himself?
Whether it is the small He family or the lowest-ranking general He Anping, they are like ants in front of the Regent. How can they compete with him?
If the Regent asks the He family for Su, they can only hand it over with both hands.
Instead of waiting for the Regent to speak, it would be better for the He Mansion to take the initiative.
After discussion, He's parents decided to write a letter to He Anping, asking him to write a divorce letter to divorce Su, and then send her directly to the Regent's Palace.
Doing so would not only avoid the awkward situation of his son and Su meeting each other, but would also please the Regent and win his favor. Why not do it?
He's parents sent someone to deliver the letter overnight, along the official road that He Anping took to return to Beijing. In a few days, He Anping would reply.
He's parents never thought that this letter would never reach He Anping's hands.
Before the letter left the capital, it was intercepted by Dugu Cang's men and placed on his desk.
After reading the letter, Dugu Cang thought for a moment, folded the letter and put it into his sleeve.
"Go to He's house and pick someone up." He ordered Tingfeng.
In the evening, Su Wanti was taken to the Regent's Palace again.
After coming here many times, she found out everything.
The simple little building where she stayed when she first entered the palace was originally a resting place for the night watchmen.
Later, the Regent wanted to turn down the nobles who wanted to marry him, so he pretended to be lustful and indulge in flowers.
But he didn't want to really touch those women, so he cleaned up the small building, put furniture and utensils in it, and let the women rest there for one night.
However, the Regent treated her differently from other women.
He gave her the best courtyard in the palace. Every time Su Wanti entered the palace, she would be taken directly to the courtyard in the backyard by carriage.
The carriage stopped and Su Wanti got off with the help of a maid from the palace.
When she looked up, she saw Dugu Cang standing at the gate of the yard waiting for her.
"Brother Cang." She wanted him to be gentler and more considerate today.
Sure enough, Dugu Cang's eyebrows were slightly lowered, with a smile on his lips, and his face was gentle and kind.
The weather was getting colder, Dugu Cang lifted his cloak and held Su Wanti in his arms.
Under the cloak, he held her in his arms, holding her close to him, and used his hot body to dispel the coldness in her body.
"Come with me in." Dugu Cang's eyes were deep, and he prepared something for Su Wanti to see.
I hope that after reading this, Su Wanti will change her mind and stay with him willingly.
The two of them hugged each other and entered the room. The little maid closed the door tightly from the outside. This warm space became a secret room for the two of them to isolate themselves from the world and enjoy their pleasure alone.
"Let me show you something." Dugu Cang let go of Su Wanti and handed her a letter.
Su Wanti was a little surprised. She thought that this time, like usual, he would give her a piece of jewelry or some new gadgets.
Unexpectedly, this time he handed over a letter.
Su Wanti opened the letter and frowned slightly. "This... This is a letter from my father-in-law to my husband? Is it inconvenient for me to read it?"
Gu Ducang sat down, legs apart, arms resting on the chair armrests, and raised his chin to Su Wanti, "The things in the letter are related to you, you are qualified to read it."
Su Wanti's eyes flickered as she read on.
Gradually, tears began to form in her eyes, and tears as big as beans flowed down her cheeks, gathered at her small chin, and dripped down.
She was shaking all over, and her hands were tightly gripping the letter, almost tearing it apart.
Dugu Cang felt reluctant to see her sad, but in order to make her give up on the He family, he could only let her see the true face of the He family with her own eyes, let her know the plans behind He's parents, and let her bear the pain.
Dugu Cang came over and hugged her shoulders. "In order to prevent the disclosure of military secrets, correspondence between military generals and their families must be reviewed by a designated person first."
"The contents of this letter concern me, so they didn't dare to act on their own initiative and handed it to me. Although the He family's parents' proposal is in line with my wishes, I still feel that you should be informed in advance."
Dugu Cang hugged her, his tone gentle and his eyes full of heartache.
In fact, it is impossible for He's parents and He Anping to communicate through official messengers.
In order to avoid official scrutiny, they all found someone to deliver the letters privately.
The people they find will disguise themselves as businessmen, pretending to go to other places to do business, but actually deliver letters for them.
The letter will pass through several hands, and the person who receives the letter, the person who delivers the letter, and the person who finally hands the letter out are not the same person.
However, Dugu Cang has people keep a close eye on the He Mansion. No matter how covert the private transactions are, his people can find out.
He felt the person in his arms sobbing, so he hugged her tighter and spoke in a more serious tone.
"It turns out that the He family is so selfish. They are just using you."
"He Anping was already fine, but the He family didn't tell you, leaving you worried about him and even giving up everything to save him."
"You thought He Anping would be grateful for your efforts and treat you well after returning to Beijing, but you saw in the letter that his parents said you were no longer innocent and should not stay in the mansion. We should take this opportunity to send you to the prince's palace to prevent the matter from getting out and tarnishing the He family's reputation."
"The He family also said that you would embarrass He Anping and he would not be able to face you..."
"What's even more heartbreaking is that they have absolutely no respect for you. They treat you like an object and say they want to give you to me to curry my favor!"
Dugu Cang seemed even angrier than Su Wanti.
He stroked Su Wanti's shoulders and comforted her softly, "Don't cry. It's not too late to recognize the true face of the He family. Take this opportunity to make a complete break with the He family, okay?"
"If you want to go back to the Su Mansion, go back to the Su Mansion. If you want to go back to your maternal grandparents' home, go back to your maternal grandparents' home. If you want to stay with me, stay. Everything is up to you."
Su Wanti took a breath and stopped crying. She suddenly pushed Dugu Cang away, stood up, and said, "This is just my father-in-law's idea. It's not He Anping's own idea!"
