Chapter 284 Choice
Sanskrit asked Song Ancheng to turn the carriage and head towards Zhongfeng Bo's mansion.

Now that she has made the decision to fight, what is there for her to back down?

Originally thought that after learning about this matter from Zhong Xingyan, the husband and wife could discuss it calmly, but now they want to know from the mouth of the eldest aunt, her heart is particularly uncomfortable.

But no matter what, there is no doubt that the Rongguo government intends to invite Wu Lingzhu to the Zhong family. Even Zhong Xingyan did not deny it. For her, it was a silent war.

She must deal with it calmly and deal with it calmly, she must not fall down here and fail to get up!
A few tears flowed from the corners of his eyes unconsciously, Sanskrit wiped them off decisively with a veil, looked out the window of the carriage, and threw out all distracting thoughts.

Be calm, be calm.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhong was waiting impatiently in the uncle's mansion, and she had already asked the servants to look at the door many times, "Why haven't you come? How long has it been? I'll send someone to look at it."

Liang's mother said helplessly: "It's only been half an hour. Even if I go to the Zhongfu to pick up someone, it will take some time to go back and forth. Mrs. Uncle should wait, don't worry."

"How can I not be in a hurry?" Mrs. Zhong broke away from the chatterbox as she spoke, and said in a rambling manner, "The fourth child disappeared after talking with me once. If my uncle hadn't come back to tell me yesterday, I would have been beaten by him." I was kept in the dark, the fourth brother couldn't open his mouth about this kind of thing, I can only be the villain, Yang Huailiu is not an unreasonable person, who would have thought that at this juncture, the prince would suddenly come up with such an idea? It's getting worse!"

Liang's mother sighed again and again, "Don't look at the fourth grandma who has a kind temper, but she is tough in her bones. I'm afraid this kind of thing is hard to accept."

"It's all for the Zhong family, not to mention how the fourth brother cares for her, how can she not know?"

After Zhong finished speaking, she felt that she had no confidence, "Anyway, let's discuss it with her, I count as her elder, can I not do it for her? Even if I let the girl from Rongguo's mansion come in, my heart is still against her. her."

Mother Liang didn't say any more, because she didn't believe that Yang Huailiu could tolerate it at all.

It's just that this marriage is not just as simple as love...

Seeing that the anxious look on Zhong's face was getting worse, Mama Liang went to wait at the gate of the yard in person.

Sanskrit told Song Ancheng to drive faster, and no one stopped him when he arrived at Bo's mansion, so he went directly into the courtyard without too much delay.

Mother Liang's heart sank when she saw Sanskrit's indifferent smile. Fourth Grandma always smiled when she saw people and talked cheerfully. Today's appearance was unusual, and her calmness made people afraid.

Did the fourth grandma already know about this?
Mother Liang was thinking about it, and she also went forward to meet Fanyin first, "Greetings to the fourth grandma, Mrs. Uncle is looking forward to you, how many times has the old slave been urged to ask, and the old slave is waiting here How are you these days?"

"Laoliang's mother is worried about me." The corners of Fanyin's lips curled up slightly, "These days are not good, and I also want to come to Mrs. Uncle to make a decision for me."

Mother Liang's heart trembled, and she didn't know what to say after she opened her mouth for a long time, so she changed the subject: "Are you hungry on the way? The old slave sent you there and ordered the small kitchen to make something to eat. How about you?" Do you want to use it?"

"You can do whatever you want. What I eat now tastes bitter in my mouth, and I can't taste it anymore." Fanyin didn't want to say more, and walked into Zhong's house together with Mama Liang's arm.

Mrs. Zhong dismissed everyone around her early on and waited alone.

After Sanskrit entered the room, what did he not understand when he saw this situation?It's also good to talk privately, lest two people say something unpleasant, and let outsiders listen to the ears and gossip again.

Mother Liang also retreated after pouring a cup of tea for Fanyin. Zhong saw Fanyin's stiff and haggard face, and she was so ready to speak that she didn't know how to speak.

"Look at what you're doing, you're all from my own family, you can say whatever you have, no matter what it is, I won't pick on you." Sanskrit said, Zhong's eyes stiffened for a long time, but his eyes The inside was also wet, and she glanced at Sanskrit resentfully, before saying:

"It's really something I'm sorry for you. I feel ashamed and flustered on my own face."

"You must know better than I do. When I went to attend Princess Xiaoya's wedding, I met Wu Lingzhu from Rongguo Duke's mansion, and dragged Liang Qiu in to talk to Zhong's family. No."

Sanskrit gave a wry smile, "Women who are married are not fools. If I can't see this kind of thing, I will become an idiot. But you have to give me a reason. I have been chasing fourth master for a long time. Again, he refused to say."

Thinking of Zhong Xingyan's appearance this morning, Fanyin shook his head slightly, revealing all disappointment.

Mentioning Zhong Liangqiu and Wu Lingzhu, Zhong's face became more serious, and he snorted coldly, "I really don't like the second room, there really isn't a good one, and as for the Rongguo mansion, we didn't care at all, but Who knew that the crown prince would come forward again this time, otherwise how could the fourth child be so troublesome?"

"The date of the expedition has already been booked..."

"The day of the expedition?"

Sanskrit was stunned, "Xingyan, he never mentioned it to me."

"The emperor has preliminarily made an appointment, and he will leave in Lichun." Zhong thought of Uncle Zhong Feng, "Originally the emperor intended to let the uncle follow the expedition as a general, and the crown prince came forward as a guarantee to keep the uncle. In fact, he mentioned Rong Guogong The government also has a past origin."

Zhong took a sip of her tea, and seeing Sanskrit listening calmly, she breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"Then we have to go back to when the fourth child was young. His father was still there at that time, and he had a good relationship with Rong Guogong. He made a baby kiss in a joke, and he was talking about the fourth child. But at that time, Miss Wu was not born yet. Why? Can you be sure? Who knew that girl Wu Lingzhu liked Wu since she was born, and she was so talkative that she joked about her father at that time, so Wu Lingzhu began to pay attention to the fourth child."

"Hmph, it's a pity that the momentum of the Zhong family has declined in the later period. The Duke Rong's mansion is so far away. I wish I could pretend that I never knew him. Now that the Zhong family has recovered, they have brought this matter up. It's a pity that the fourth child is already married. Because of you, the prince came forward."

Hearing this, Fanyin thought it was a joke, "Could it be that they want Fourth Master to reconcile with me?"

"No." Zhong shook her head, "It's Ping's wife."

"Did he agree?" Sanskrit looked at Zhong, and Zhong's lips trembled, "Huai Liu, don't worry, he hasn't decided on this matter yet, so don't be sad, I'll call you today, just I want to tell you that no matter what the ending is, I will always value you the most, huh?"

There was no response from Sanskrit, do you care?Doesn't that mean that the Zhong family has acquiesced to the news of Wu Lingzhu's entry?
"The marriage between me and the fourth master was at least the officiant marriage by His Royal Highness, and the matchmaker by Princess Jingwen. Could it be that His Royal Highness doesn't care about his own face at all?"

Fanyin sneered a little, "His Royal Highness did this absurdly. Even if you want to win over the fourth master, you don't need to use women as bargaining chips. The most serious thing about Xingyan these years is not to be threatened, let alone compromise. , if he really accepts, it means he has Wu Lingzhu in his heart, otherwise he would never agree."

"Yes..." Mrs. Zhong didn't know what to say when she said this, she hesitated for a long time before she said bravely: "It is the crown prince who promised to let the uncle stay in Beijing and not go out to fight, so he proposed to marry the fourth child with the Duke of Rongguo. .”

Fanyin stared at Zhong with wide eyes, and Zhong was ashamed, "Originally, my uncle didn't agree, but who knows that no matter whether my uncle goes to war or not, the crown prince will force the fourth child to marry the Duke of Rongguo. I am also confused, they are still unwilling to explain to me that the fourth child has already shouldered a lot of debts in order to save the Zhong family's reputation, but who would have thought that the crown prince would make this matter worse, even Princess Jingwen. Couldn't stop it."

"I finally understand what Princess Jingwen said to me last time." Fanyin thought of Princess Jingwen's hysterical roar and Zhong Xingyan's impatience that day. It must be because of the marriage of Rongguo Duke's mansion, right?
No matter how beautiful the reverence and favor are, as long as they are mixed with power transactions, how can they look so unbearable?

Thinking of Wu Lingzhu, Fanyin suddenly felt that she was a very pitiful person. She had been labeled as such since she was a child. It was wronged that Miss Sun, a direct relative from a dignified mansion, should be married to such a little-known girl as herself. Bar?

Sanskrit suddenly wanted to laugh out loud, hysterical, hearty, but she couldn't open her mouth because she was very sad in her heart and didn't know how to describe it.

"I already know it in my heart. In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Uncle and you at all. It is His Royal Highness who is suspicious of Fourth Master and wants to control him." Fanyin thought of Hu Zhong's arrival on New Year's Eve , and Zhong Xingyan's words, "I will respect his choice in this matter, but I will not accept being a flat wife with others. If Wu Lingzhu wants to come in, it doesn't matter whether it is a divorce document or a divorce document. Follow up."

"Huai Liu, why are you doing this..." Mrs. Zhong saw how serious she was, and knew she was not joking, "The relationship between us is not comparable to that of Rong Guo Gongfu."

Fanyin shook her head, "I can understand, but I can't accept it, sorry." When she got up, Fanyin wanted to go home immediately, because her mind was in a mess, and her eyes were even black, as if she was about to faint.

Zhong grabbed her and said after a while: "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

"You will always be the most respected person in my heart." Fanyin let go of Zhong's hand, turned and walked out the door.

Zhong looked at her back worriedly, although she was thin, she seemed so steadfast, Yang Huailiu was not a cowardly woman, but a strong woman, but the more she was, the more tired she would be.

Sanskrit walked in a daze, there was nothing in his mind, only two words, sad.

Living, how can you be so tired?

With a "thud", Sanskrit fell headfirst to the ground, and the last words he heard before closing his eyes were Zhong's words, "Please doctor, imperial physician, hurry up!"
