Chapter 250: I Made the Wrong Choice After All
Zhao Yingqiao hit the nail on the head, and Su Jin felt dizzy behind.
She thought the emperor was impressed by her talent, but who would have thought that he was just supporting her?
But why? On what basis?
What virtue and ability does Su Jin have?
First of all, she is not a talented person. Although she has studied, women are not allowed to participate in politics. No matter how much she studies, the best she can do is to have a reputation for her literary talent. However, Su Jin does not have outstanding literary talent. At best, she is a divorced woman with no talent and ability. Why should the emperor support her?
Just because the elder of the Hexi Su family was the emperor’s husband?
This doesn’t seem to make sense, does it?
Another possible scenario is that his two sons are capable. However, Gu Zixuan is only a fifth-rank scholar now, and Gu Zilu has just won the minor third place, and has not yet reached the major third place. Isn't it too early to give them benefits now?
Zhao Jingcheng, doesn’t he seem to be such an unstable emperor?
Su Jin was puzzled and could only nod vaguely and escort Zhao Yingqiao all the way to the door.
Outside, Gu Ruyu was still waiting there. She had been shouting until her throat was sore. She thought Su Jin would not come out, but when she looked up, she saw him standing in front of her.
Gu Ruyu was overjoyed and rushed forward, even ignoring the eldest princess who was walking in front.
Zhao Yingqiao frowned tightly, staring at Gu Ruyu's back with disgust, but she didn't think that this girl had any feelings at all. She even cried and tore Su Jin's sleeves: "Mother, I also want to move out of the Marquis' Mansion and live with you. Please take me in!"
"ha!"
Zhao Yingqiao laughed out loud. She had really grown old and had seen everything. A concubine gave birth to a child and actually ran out to ask Su Jin, who was divorcing her, to take him in and even wanted to live with him. Who the hell did she think she was?
The eldest princess laughed without restraint. Gu Ruyu frowned when she heard the noise, turned her head and said angrily: "What are you laughing at!"
Just after she finished yelling, she realized that the person in front of her was actually the Grand Princess. She was so scared that she shut her mouth and quickly saluted: "Greetings, Grand Princess."
Zhao Yingqiao's mouth was like poison. She snorted coldly and said, "The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion is really going to be ruined. The eldest lady is getting divorced, but these little ones are running away one by one. No, your name is Gu Ruyu, oh, I remember you, the Green Waist Dance on the Jinming Pond, what on earth were you thinking? You had to be there, at that time, and dance the Green Waist Dance, huh?"
It would have been so pleasant to hide at home and watch the Green Waist Dance. But now, because of Gu Ruyu's behavior, no one can watch it. Even many dancers who are good at the Green Waist Dance have to learn other dances. Gu Ruyu has really reduced one of Zhao Yingqiao's favorite things by her own efforts.
Gu Ruyu's face turned red after being confronted by Zhao Yingqiao.
What was she thinking? She wanted to climb up the social ladder and become a concubine in the palace. Who would have thought that she would end up losing more than she gained? It was unlucky just to think about it.
Sure enough, she still wants to repay her mother's kindness.
"Grand Princess..."
Gu Ruyu wanted to say something, but Zhao Yingqiao had already spoken: "Go back to your Yong'an Marquis Mansion and stay there. You people, you never get up early without benefits. Why didn't you all run here when Su Jin left earlier? Now that she's divorced, you see that she's doing well and you want to take advantage of her. What kind of people are you!"
Zhao Yingqiao cursed without any reservation, and there was no need to hide her identity as the eldest princess. She directly made Gu Ruyu's old face red and tears fell.
Gu Ruyu looked at Su Jin with a wronged look on her face, wanting Su Jin to speak for her, but unexpectedly Su Jin just said indifferently: "Third Miss, you should go back. A few days ago, people spread gossip about me and Mr. Xie. If you come here, I'm afraid they will spread gossip about you again. If the Third Miss can't get married, I'm afraid they will blame me."
To put it bluntly, Su Jin doesn't want it either, as she doesn't have a bump on her head.
Gu Zilu and Gu Suiyu were able to come because these two children were worry-free and they didn't need to be taken care of by themselves at all. What's more important, these two children could solve their own problems. What could you, Gu Ruyu, do if you came? Oh my God! She trembled all over when she thought about having to pull a child who was like a blood-sucking leech.
It's just terrible.
Seeing Su Jin's firm attitude, the Grand Princess finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she got into the car, Gu Ruyu rushed over again, asking with red eyes: "Grand Princess, there is something I don't understand. We are both girls from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and both have bad rumors. Why does the Grand Princess favor Gu Suiyu and mock me?!"
"Gu Ruyu, shut up!"
Su Jin rebuked coldly, this was already an overstep, didn't she understand her status? She was the eldest princess, even if the old Marquis Gu Zhao was standing here, he couldn't say such an overstep!
But Gu Ruyu couldn't care less, she had given up everything. The world had been very unfair to her anyway, so she might as well get things clear!
Zhao Yingqiao had a face full of ridicule.
She just thought Gu Ruyu was really stupid, as stupid as her biological mother.
"Why?"
The eldest princess sneered: "Don't you know why?"
Oh, are you kidding me? What is your brain for?
Zhao Yingqiao lowered the curtain and ordered, "Go!"
The carriage slowly drove away, leaving Gu Ruyu standing there in a daze.
Don’t you know why yourself?
So why?
Just because she was born to a concubine?
Just because she really wants to marry higher?
Just because of her, you want to live better than Gu Suiyu?
Is it wrong to want to live a better life? Is it wrong!!
Gu Ruyu was on the verge of collapse.
Su Jin looked at Gu Ruyu coldly. She didn't care whether this person was crying or laughing. So she turned around coldly and went back home.
The door creaked shut behind him. Gu Ruyu turned around suddenly, but saw only the cold door panel and the desolate high wall.
She suddenly remembered that last year when her second brother was still alive, he pulled her to Su Jin, where they knelt and begged to be Su Jin's child. What was her reaction at that time?
At that time, she even ridiculed her second brother. It was obvious that Lin Wanhui only had the two of them in her heart and eyes, but her second brother actually went to ask Su Jin to educate him. But now, it seems that her second brother is really much smarter than her!
Gu Ruyu is now full of regret. She swears that if God could give her another chance and go back to last year when she and her second brother knelt outside Liuting Pavilion, she would definitely choose to stay and kneel outside Liuting Pavilion with her brother to beg Su Jin to educate them!
But now, it seems it's too late.
Gu Ruyu regretted it deeply, but there is no regret medicine in this world. Since it was her own choice, she would have to bear the consequences for her whole life.
Sometimes, in a person’s life, choice is more important than hard work.
But unfortunately, she made the wrong choice in the end.
