First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 267 Can She Do It?

This sleep was extremely deep, and when he woke up the next day, it was already dawn.

"Young Madam, are you awake?" Qing He was coming in with a copper basin from outside, when she heard the movement, she hurried to the bed and asked through the curtain.

When Du Rongzhi woke up, she was still a little ignorant, she let out a dazed "um", and subconsciously looked towards the bedside—but it was empty.

She couldn't tell what she was feeling for a moment, and she couldn't even tell whether what happened last night was real or a dream, she just sat up while being hugged, and she was a little dazed.

However, Qing He has already opened the curtain swiftly, hooked it with a hook, and said with a smile, "Young madam sleeps well... the sun is drying her ass!"

Du Rongzhi just came back to her senses, and smiled casually at her, "What time is it?"

"It's time."

Du Rongzhi nodded, remained silent for a while, and said hesitantly, "Qing He, I... had a dream last night..."

Qing He twisted the veil and was about to wipe her face, when she saw that she spoke solemnly, she couldn't help but pause, and asked concerned, "What is Young Madam dreaming about?"

"...I seem to have dreamed about the young master..." Du Rongzhi pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "He also... told me a lot of strange things—"

Before she finished speaking, Qing He couldn't help covering her lips and laughing, "It's not a dream! Master, he did come back last night!"

Du Rongzhi was taken aback for a moment, then stared blankly at her, "Are you back?"

"Yes." Qing He couldn't help being a little funny when thinking of the night, and said cheerfully, "Last night, the slaves slept in a hazy state, and suddenly heard noises outside, and they thought there were rats in the house! Who would have thought that It's the master who rushed back overnight!"

Du Rongzhi saw that she spoke relaxedly, and there was a hint of happiness in her tone, her face suddenly sank, "Since you knew he was back, why didn't you wake me up then?"

Qinghe smiled, shrank her neck and said in a low voice, "The slave girl was going to follow in, but the master said he would just look at you, and leave after a while..." Seeing Du Rongzhi frowned displeasedly, She hurriedly said, "Besides, you woke up just after the master came in... The slave listened to you talking with him inside, and the voice was also kind, so, I didn't dare to come in..."

Du Rongzhi gave her an angry look, thought for a while, and then asked, "Then did you hear what we said?"

"Actually, the slaves are far away...but I didn't hear them clearly..." Qing He laughed a few times, and said with a blushing face, "I just vaguely heard that the master said that he would take you and Miss Sun out of the capital...to go outside have a look……"

"He really said that..." Du Rongzhi pursed her lower lip and murmured in a daze.

"Isn't that right? This slave listened really well." Qing He quickly nodded firmly, and couldn't help sighing, "It's extremely rare for me to be able to do this... Why didn't the young lady agree at that time? If you agreed Yes, Grandpa will be very happy."

Du Rongzhi was silent for a long time.

It is true that Song Zixun's proposal is undoubtedly very tempting for her at this time.

Although after so many days of deliberation, she was already ready to help Song Zixun in the same boat and overcome difficulties, but at the same time, she also realized more clearly: this road to the ultimate honor, the wife of the Duke's Mansion , What does it mean to her.

Shen's insidiousness, Fu's viciousness, Song Ziche's obsession, and Erfang's covetous eyes—they were the ones who drove her into the abyss of eternal doom in the previous life, leaving her and her child dead without a place to die. How long can she persist in this life? How far she's gone... even she doesn't know.

But now, these problems seem to be solved.

But, can she do it?

After experiencing the pain of bereavement for two lifetimes, can she really go to a new place with him and start their new life without any suspicion?

At that time, will she repeat the same mistakes before, unknowingly becoming dependent on him, having unrealistic fantasies about him... and then putting herself in a sad and pitiful situation again?

Will she...

Seeing that Du Rongzhi hadn't answered for a long time, and her dark eyes were just staring blankly at the embroidered pattern on the quilt, Qing He couldn't help persuading in a low voice, "It's true that we live in the countryside now, but it's not a long-term solution...Young Madam It's not for anything else, at least I have to think about the future of myself and Ms. Sun, even if I can't leave for a long time, it's good to delay for two years..."

"I know..." Du Rongzhi slowly came back to her senses, raised her head and smiled calmly at her, "I understand what you said. It's just that I fell asleep last night, and I suddenly heard him talking about those things. , I was not prepared at the moment, it's not that I don't want to..." She paused, and said softly, "If the young master really finds a job outside, and the elders allow it... I will naturally go with him."

Qing He hurriedly nodded joyfully, "It's best for the young lady to think like this! Don't worry, the servant will listen to the tone of the master, this matter is probably settled." She said happily, "When the master left this morning, he still He told you to rest here and rest in peace, and when he finishes his outside work, he will come and pick you up in person."

Du Rongzhi was silent, and said slowly, "If this matter can really go so smoothly, it will be great..."

Qing He couldn't help being taken aback, "Is the young lady worried that the old lady and the lady won't agree to let you go with the master?" She thought about it, then shook her head, "That can't be... the old lady loves the young master the most, Even if the madam obstructs it, the old madam will not let her go."

Du Rongzhi shook her head with a smile, "Whether I can go or not is another matter. I'm afraid that even the things that were released to the outside world are just our own wishful thinking."

Qing He was even more puzzled, "Then why?"

Du Rongzhi smiled dispiritedly, took the handkerchief from her hand and wiped her face, "The Hanlin Academy is such a noble place, others want to dig in even if they sharpen their heads, but he wants to do it at this time. Let it out..." Du Rongzhi said, the scene of Song Zixun's words last night appeared in front of her eyes for some reason, she was stunned for a moment, then handed the handkerchief to Qing He, and continued, "If he is here Stay in the Imperial Academy for a few more years, and when you have enough qualifications, you can even find a place to go out to practice for a few years. But now—" Du Rongzhi paused, "I'm afraid the elders may not agree."

Qing He thought for a while, then laughed, "Young Madam, I don't understand the truths that the servants said, but the servants thought, since the master has stopped talking, there must be his way. The young madam just caress about it now. You are in good health, just wait until the time comes to take up the post with the young master..."

Du Rongzhi couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "What you said is also... Anyway, this is not something we can worry about, let's just wait and see."
