Chapter 49 There is still a chance to change
Chen Song pursed his lips and turned back to Tianxiang Tower.
"What did you say?" Mo Jin tapped the armrest slowly with his fingers. "She's not coming?"
Chen Song had no choice but to repeat himself: "Miss Su said she had something to do and couldn't come. She will definitely come on time next time."
Of course, he didn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise the Regent would probably use him as a punching bag.
"Go tell her there won't be a next time." Mo Jin sneered.
Chen Song was slightly startled, then nodded quickly: "I'll go right away!"
Did he become a messenger between the two of them? Chen Song was embarrassed, but... this was the first time the Regent had been so patient with someone.
When Chen Song found Su Luo, Su Luo had just stepped into the Su Mansion.
"Miss Su, Miss Su, please stay." Chen Song stood still, bowed to her, and walked closer with a wry smile.
"Is there something wrong, Guard Chen?" This was the second time Chen Song had come back to look for her. Su Luo asked while standing in the corridor.
"You know, our regent really wants you to come back." Chen Song whispered, "Our prince has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, a hard mouth but a soft heart, cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
After spending these days together, Su Luo still doesn’t understand Mo Jin?
She was sure that Mo Jin's original words were definitely not like this, but Chen Song was Mo Jin's man, and the fact that he came to see her twice also meant that Mo Jin tacitly agreed and wanted her to go back.
Su Luo's face was calm, but a smile flashed through her mind. The prey had fallen into the trap.
The more this happened, the more she couldn't go back. She wanted to play hard to get. Even if Mo Jin could see through her hard to get tactics, she had to let Mo Jin know that she was not a plaything in his hands that he could wave his hand to and send away at will. Only then could she arouse his desire to conquer her.
Su Luo returned Chen Song's greeting and said, "Guard Chen, thank you for making this trip in vain. I won't go back."
"This..." Seeing Su Luo so determined, Chen Song sighed heavily, "Okay..."
At Tianxiang Tower, Mo Jin, who had been waiting impatiently, pressed his thumb between his eyebrows. Hearing footsteps outside the door, a sarcastic smile curled his lips: "You know to get back?"
When that person walked into the private room, Mo Jin's sneer widened, and he continued to taunt: "Aren't you very brave? Why did you come back?"
"..." The trembling Chen Song didn't dare to say a word.
When Qin Zhengyu tiptoed out silently, Mo Jin suddenly looked over—
Chen Song knelt down and said, "I failed to do my job! I didn't bring Miss Su back! Miss Su was really busy and declined..."
He couldn't possibly tie her up, could he? Tying her up wasn't what Mo Jin wanted.
"Who told you to bring her back?" Mo Jin slammed his palm on the table, his eyes blazing with fire as he chuckled softly, "Haha, are you playing hard to get with me?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Yes! The prince never asked me to bring her back! I am the one who is meddling!" Chen Song symbolically slapped himself in the face, but the force was very small, and it just looked like he was slapping hard.
"Su Luo can get out of my sight forever." Mo Jin said coldly.
"You mean..." Chen Song was undecided.
Mo Jin's gaze was as cold as a knife, and he glared at Chen Song. Chen Song immediately lowered his head and avoided him, understanding what he meant.
From now on, he will not let Su Luo get close to the Regent.
Mo Jin stood up, slammed the door and left the private room.
With a "bang", the door hit the wall with a terrifying sound.
He used to play with Su Luo, but that didn't mean he wasn't aware of her plans.
On the contrary, he always knew what Su Luo was planning.
Anyway, it's just a matter of sleeping with a woman who suits my taste for fun.
It's boring to try to use some tricks of playing hard to get now.
Chen Song, Qin Zhengyu, and a group of secret guards were trembling with fear.
Your Majesty, you are so angry! So murderous!
Help!
…
Su Mansion, garden.
Su Luo did not tell Yun Xueya about the intrigues in the Marquis' Mansion, for fear that she would worry, nor did she tell her that she returned to her parents' home because of Li Jiaojiao.
She held a jade comb, stood behind Yun Xueya, whose long hair was loose, and pulled out her white hair one by one.
A year ago, my mother, who was well-maintained and nearly fifty years old, had smooth, black hair. But ever since my father and brother's accident, her hair has turned white almost overnight...
Worried Su Luo tried her best and spent a lot of money to buy a blackening powder to dye her hair back to black, but it didn't take long before a lot of hair grew out again.
Su Luo's eyes were filled with sorrow and she sighed deeply in her heart.
"Why did you return to the Su Mansion for no reason?" Yun Xueya noticed that the person behind her was in a bad mood.
"I just miss my mother. I suddenly regret getting married. I want to stay in the Su Mansion forever, by my mother's side." Su Luo said in a gentle voice.
Softly, with a little coquettishness, gently pull out a white hair.
"You, you're already married, yet you're still so clingy to me?" Yun Xueya smiled softly, as if she had thought of something, a trace of sadness flickering across her eyes. "What will you do if I die? You should stick closer to your husband."
Su Luo's fingers froze and she almost burst into tears.
Her mother came from a family of scholars and was trained since childhood to obey her father at home and her husband outside the family. Although she did not ask Su Luo to do so, deep down she still felt that after her daughter got married, her son-in-law would be the person who would accompany her the longest.
But mother forgot... Zhou Yan is not a father and cannot give her the same love as a father gives to his mother.
"Mother, in my eyes now, no one is more important than you." Su Luo said with a smile, her nose slightly red.
"You kid..." Yun Xueya sighed, and thought of something else, and said,
"Your uncle and aunt were right. In the past, I was trying not to offend them, hoping they would support you when you were bullied by your in-laws. At the same time, I didn't want them to push their buttons any further. I couldn't come up with a plan to strike a perfect balance. Now that I've seen your approach, I'm truly relieved."
Yun Xueya nodded with satisfaction: "You have the ability and means to protect yourself, even better than mother. I was protected too well by your father, and I don't even know how to deal with these things..."
Her tone was melancholy, as if she was making arrangements for her final affairs, or as if she was expressing some emotion.
In short, the situation is not right.
Su Luo became worried for no reason, but after counting the days, she realized that there were still several months before her mother's death in her previous life. She took a deep breath and sighed deeply.
There is still a chance to change.
…
During the time Su Luo lived in the Su Mansion, Aunt Dan was not idle.
If you want to cooperate, you have to show your loyalty.
Aunt Dan, wearing a red azalea satin gown, sat in the pavilion, scattering steamed bread crumbs and feeding the fish in the pond.
Hong Zhi came over and whispered in her ear, "My cousin went out a quarter of an hour ago."
"Just go out, is there anything unusual?" Aunt Dan admired the cardamom in her hand.
Hong Zhi continued, "She went out stealthily and hired a carriage. When the wind blew up the curtains, I saw her wearing a veil in the carriage."
Aunt Dan sat up straight, threw the steamed bread crumbs in her hand into the pond, and said hurriedly, "Hurry up and follow us, let's go and take a look!"
If you are going out for ordinary reasons, you can just take the Marquis's carriage. Why do you need to hire another carriage?
Not only did she hire a carriage, but she even wore a veil? There was definitely something fishy going on.
Aunt Dan had a smile on her lips, but there was ill intent in her eyes when she met Li Ziyan.
Li Ziyan shouted, "Stop."
"I pay my respects to Madam." Aunt Dan bowed perfunctorily with a limp body, then turned and left.
"How shameless!!" Madam Ruiqing pointed at Aunt Dan's back and yelled, "You're leaving right after paying your respects? Did our Madam allow you to go?!"
Li Ziyan's eyes were about to burst into flames.
"She's so lawless because she's relied on her youth and beauty, having been the master's exclusive favorite for a while." Nanny Ruiqing said angrily on Li Ziyan's behalf. "But she's a hen that can't lay eggs and can't give birth to children. She'll never have a place in the mansion!"
Li Ziyan twisted her handkerchief tightly and said, "Let's see how the Marquis will deal with her after he gets tired of her!"
Aunt Dan completely ignored the shouting and cursing behind her, and leisurely walked out of the house, stroking her hair, and asked Hong Zhi to quickly mount the horse and quietly catch up with Li Jiaojiao.
In the carriage in front, Li Jiaojiao was smoking a cigarette, crying and laughing, looking like she was living in a drunken stupor.
The entire carriage was filled with smoke, and perhaps only at this moment could it numb her painful heart.
