Chapter 158: Be Heartless to the End
Chapter 158: Be Heartless to the End
You claim to have used me instead of me?
Su Jin raised her eyebrows. She intuitively thought that the precious prince in front of her might have treated her as a friend.
She didn't think this was a bad thing, but rather thought it was good.
There is no such thing as too many golden thighs. Now the heroine has become her close friend, and she is also on good terms with the hero Xie Huaiguang. Having another younger brother of the top BOSS in ancient Chinese novels would be the icing on the cake.
"Then I would like to thank the prince here first."
Su Jin also started calling himself "I", which made Zhao Jingyu couldn't help laughing.
A generous and open-minded woman is the most attractive.
"Um."
He nodded, turned around and called a young eunuch, and instructed: "Pick up a lantern and escort the lady out of the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The young eunuch fetched the lantern with great trepidation and accompanied him all the way.
Su Jin also greeted with a smile and slowly left.
The night wind blew, and Zhao Jingyu stood in the night, watching quietly until Su Jin's figure disappeared without a trace.
"master."
Zhuifeng walked out from the shadow of the bushes and stared at the direction where Su Jin left. He couldn't help but complain: "So you like this, Master."
Zhao Jingyu: ...
"Is your senior brother Qingying coming back soon?"
Zhuifeng nodded: "Yes, they said we will be able to reach the capital in the next few days."
"Then you two can switch positions. Let your senior brother take a rest, and you can go to the northwest to gather intelligence."
Chasing the Wind: ...
"ah?"
"Oh, no, Master, didn't you say that I don't talk much and it's best to keep me around?"
Zhao Jingyu sneered.
Talk little?
Don't force me to swear.
"But there are so many things going on in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. There are so many twists and turns. The Madam has really been wronged."
Zhuifeng murmured as he caught up, but this time Zhao Jingyu did not speak again.
What can I say?
Every family has its own problems. The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion has its own problems, and so does the royal family.
The young eunuch carried a lantern and accompanied the person to the palace gate.
The three children were waiting outside. When they saw Su Jin come out, they surrounded her.
Gu Suiyu said, "Mother, I'm here with grandma, just go back and have a good rest."
Since the matter has gotten out of hand, someone has to clean up the mess. Gu Suiyu will take care of the grandparents. She will definitely be able to take care of the two old people's emotions, find out what they are thinking, and facilitate the divorce.
"I'll take care of my father's side."
Gu Zixuan also said, "I still say that. Mother, go back and have a good rest. Don't worry about who comes."
Gu Zixuan had the confidence to say this, as he was now a third place winner in the imperial examination, and although he did not hold an official position yet, his starting point was higher than Gu Changqing's. His future position would definitely not be low, and he would definitely be able to suppress some people.
So it would be most appropriate for me to leave it to my father.
"Well, then I'll stay with my mother."
After saying that, Gu Zilu leaned over to support her: "Mother, get in the car, we're going back home."
Su Jin nodded, got up, got in the car, and sat quietly.
Gu Zilu sat with the coachman. In the carriage, Jin Chuan, Yu Chuan and Su Mama all looked as if they wanted to say something but were hesitant to do so.
As servants, they could not enter the palace banquet and could only wait outside. But even while waiting, they heard what happened at the banquet.
Gu Ziyun’s matter was not that shocking. What frightened them the most was that Su Jin actually proposed a divorce?
For a moment, the three of them didn't know what to say. Finally, Yuchuan couldn't help but speak: "It's okay to divorce. Anyway, the master doesn't have our eldest lady in his heart. After the divorce, we can find a better one who understands our eldest lady's well-being and loves her, and live a good life!"
Jinchuan glanced at Yuchuan. She wanted to say that Yuchuan's idea was too simple. This was the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. If she divorced the Marquis's son, what kind of man could she find in the future? And what kind of man would dare to marry our lady?
The one who dares to marry her must be of higher status than the Marquis's family, but would a family of higher status ask to marry a divorced woman?
When she was waiting to be married, she could at least rely on the name of the Hexi Su family. Now that she is divorced, what does her parents' family mean to her?
Unless you are the emperor's daughter, you won't have trouble finding a husband, right?
Jin Chuan opened her mouth but didn't say what was in her heart. She felt that now was not the time to say such things, so she could only agree: "Our eldest lady is so good, she must deserve better."
Su Jin couldn't help but laugh. Actually, she was in a pretty good mood, but she was more uncertain about the future.
The emperor said that we will discuss it again in three days. Will there be other variables in three days?
I hope not.
Mother Su said, "Just now I met the old master's student, who said that he would write a letter to inform the old master personally about this matter. Mr. Zhuzhi also said that he would go to the post station outside the capital and wait for his family to come over."
Su Jin didn't want to meet her mother's family, but she had to.
Since ancient times, getting married has been a big deal, and divorce is an even bigger deal. Hearing this, she no longer struggled, but nodded: "I understand."
Forget it, just let nature take its course. At worst, there is still Prince Rui's golden thigh to cling to. Sooner or later, the divorce will be successful.
Seeing Su Jin's calm expression and gentle tone, Su's mother finally felt relieved.
Mother Su knew best how much injustice Su Jin had suffered during the years she had married into the Marquis's Mansion.
She tried to persuade and talk to her, but Sixth Miss was just like that. If she didn't change it when she was a child, she couldn't change it when she grew up. Besides, Sixth Miss fell in love with Gu Changqing at first sight. As a girl waiting to be married, she was full of innocence and only regarded the unfaithful man as her ideal man. She thought she would be happy after marriage, but reality dealt a huge blow to Sixth Miss.
The little cousin who had always behaved well and obediently in front of her showed her true colors as soon as she entered the Marquis' Mansion and took away all the happiness that should have belonged to the Sixth Miss.
This was the beginning of all the misfortunes.
Mother Su felt unhappy whenever she thought of Lin Wanhui. She also thought about getting a divorce, but she only dared to think about it in her heart. Who would have thought that Sixth Miss quietly turned her thought into reality.
Mother Su was old after all, and she was very calm. She said earnestly: "Young girl, you must take good care of yourself."
Hearing this, Su Jin's eyes rarely turned red, but she still smiled stubbornly: "I know, Mom."
The care from our elders is so direct and simple.
For no reason, Su Jin thought of her grandmother in her previous life, but it was a pity that she couldn't go back.
So, just make the best of it and take it one step at a time. As for yourself, just eat and drink as you should, and as I said before, take care of your body, that's all.
Back at Liuting Pavilion, everyone helped Su Jin wash up, and the moment he lay on the bed, Su Jin pulled the quilt tightly together, closed his eyes and fell asleep, being heartless to the end.
Su Jin slept soundly, but tonight, some people were destined to have a sleepless night.
