Chapter 259 Grass is the most despicable thing in the world

After everyone left, Concubine Dong went out and went straight to the garden behind the imperial palace.

Because isn’t Su Jin over there?

At this moment, a young eunuch ran to Zhou Ruihai and whispered, "Eunuch, Concubine Dong went to the back garden. She must have gone to look for Su Jin."

What did Concubine Dong want to see Su Jin for?

Zhou Ruihai frowned slightly, but still reported the matter to the emperor.

There were not many people in the imperial study except Xie Huaiguang who was serving on the side. He heard all these words clearly. The young man paused while grinding ink, then continued grinding the ink as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Jingcheng didn't care that Concubine Dong went to find Su Jin, but Su Jin found it a little strange.

It was strange enough that the Empress Dowager went to look for her, but what did it mean that Concubine Dong came again?

Concubine Dong looked Su Jin up and down, nodded and smiled, "She is indeed very pretty. I am almost forty years old, but compared to you, we look like mother and daughter."

Su Jin looks young, it has nothing to do with maintenance, she just doesn’t look old.

Su Jin had no idea what Concubine Dong was up to, so she bowed and stood aside waiting for her fate. Unexpectedly, Concubine Dong spoke directly, "Women in this world are like dodders, they must always rely on people. I wonder when Miss Su Liu is going to marry someone else, and I am willing to be your matchmaker."

Su Jin had been polite to Concubine Dong, but now he really didn't want to be polite at all.

She smiled directly and said, "The ancients compared women to flowers, but you are compared to grass. Grass is the lowest thing in the world. Common women are just flowers, be it peony or wild flower, they just want to bloom alone."

The naked resistance caused Concubine Dong to frown slightly. Although she had a smile on her face, there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

A woman who left the Marquis' Mansion, a woman who changed from a lady in the Marquis' Mansion to a commoner, spoke such big words. This was no longer big talk, but a provocation to the authority of Concubine Dong.

Concubine Dong smiled and said, "Miss Su Liu doesn't understand the hardships of women, but I'm sure you will soon understand."

After saying that, Concubine Dong stood up, turned around and left with her people. She was as arrogant as when she came, and she left just as arrogantly. She really didn't take Su Jin seriously at all.

Su Jin frowned slightly, thinking that Concubine Dong had bad intentions. However, Concubine Dong was indeed not a good person. Xie Huaiguang's mother was killed by Concubine Dong, right?

Although this incident was not explicitly mentioned in the novel, it was implicitly written that the fire in Concubine Zhuang's palace seemed to be related to Concubine Dong.

Because it is an old story, the author only mentioned it briefly. In addition, since it is an ancient novel that mainly writes about romance, there is really not much related to the plot.

However, it doesn't matter to her whether it's more or less. She is just a cannon fodder in the book at best. If she hadn't changed the plot and divorced Gu Changqing, she might not have seen any of these people in the palace.

So, do whatever you want, just don't cause trouble for her.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Jin turned around and left the palace. Before leaving, he asked for leave directly from Zhao Fu, saying that he was not feeling well and would not come for a while.

Zhao Fu agreed with a smile. Anyway, let Miss Su Liu do whatever she wants. He didn't dare to stop her. He didn't even look at what Prince Rui said about Ruomei just now. He even said something like who owns the country.

It’s really scary just thinking about it.

Zhao Fu touched his neck and nodded, and Su Jin left with satisfaction.

When she walked out of the palace gate, she saw Xie Huaiguang standing not far away.

She did not go through the main gate of the palace, but the side door. Outside this door were street vendors. Xie Huaiguang was standing in front of a stall, talking to the stall owner about something.

While talking, the young man seemed a little nonchalant, and then he glanced over inadvertently and happened to meet Su Jin's eyes.

The nonchalance on the boy's face suddenly showed a hint of relief. He didn't know what the stall owner said, but Xie Huaiguang actually raised the corners of his lips and laughed.

Su Jin was about to raise his hand to say hello, but Xie Huaiguang looked away, turned back and continued chatting and laughing with the stall owner, as if he didn't see him at all.

Tsk, is it too far away?

"Master Xie is over there, young lady, shall we go over and say hello?"

Su Jin shook his head: "No need, let's go."

Even if she saw him, she would not go over. At most, she would greet Xie Huaiguang from a distance, just like when they met at Jinming Lake. The friendship between gentlemen is as plain as water, and that's all.

What's more, Xie Huaiguang didn't see him now.

"good!"

Yuchuan helped her get into the carriage, and it slowly drove away.

At this moment, on the wall facing the palace gate, a woman dressed as a nanny looked here for a while, and only hurried back to report to Concubine Dong until Xie Huaiguang left.

"My Lady, it seems to me that the two of them have no relationship. I'm afraid the rumors before were not true."

"Oh? Prince Rui thinks so too?"

"It should be. Today, I saw Prince Rui and Lord Xie talking and laughing. There was nothing wrong."

Concubine Dong waved her hand and ordered her people to leave.

What matters now is not Su Jin’s provocation, but finding Concubine Zhuang’s son. Now that the bracelet has appeared, he must be in the capital.

"Keep looking!"

We must find the person before the emperor.

Concubine Dong's face looked slightly cold.

As for this time, Su Jin had already returned to the mansion.

Gu Zilu had already started a poetry gathering in the mansion. Su Jin glanced at the carriages parked outside. They all belonged to wealthy and powerful families.

As soon as she entered the door, the doorkeeper said, "Miss, there are several young ladies coming to the poetry gathering today."

Miss?

Su Jin raised an eyebrow. Brother Lu never said that there would be any young ladies attending the poetry meeting!

What's going on?

"Just now, the servant of Master Xie came over and said that he would give this basket of things to the young lady."

Xie Huiguang?

Weren't we just at the market? Why didn't he tell me just now, and had to send the servant to deliver the things secretly?

Su Jin recalled and thought that Xie Huaiguang seemed to glance at the city wall behind him. There must be someone there, and Xie Huaiguang wanted to avoid suspicion.

She walked in calmly, opened the basket, and found that there was nothing inside except a letter.

When the letter was opened, Xie Huaiguang's beautiful cursive handwriting jumped out at the surface. He was good-looking and his handwriting was even more beautiful. It was like appreciating a piece of work of art.

However, the content inside was not very wonderful. After reading the letter, Su Jin finally understood why there was a woman at the poetry meeting today.

It turned out that Lord Chen Shaozheng wanted to be a matchmaker for Lu Ge'er, so he didn't inform her today, but directly let the daughter of the Minister of Rites come in, intending to let the two meet first.

I can only say that Mr. Chen really doesn't take me, his mother, seriously.

I didn't even tell her about this and just arranged it.

Su Jin smiled and turned to ask, "Where is the poetry reading held?"
