poisonous woman

Chapter 16
Looking at her father, Rong Zhao suddenly felt sour and astringent in her heart, and the last look her father gave her in the previous life appeared in her mind, full of disappointment, determination, and indifference that she had never seen before.

It was that look, in the following days, she would always see it when she dreamed back at midnight, sometimes she would wake up crying, calling him ravingly, but in the empty palace, no one could hear it except her echo. Respond to her.

That memory has been repeated for a long time, but it happens to be so clear.

Sometimes Rong Zhao really hoped that the painful memory was just a dream of hers, and she didn't even want to experience it.

When he came back to his senses, Rong Zhao raised his smiling face, and his delicate voice was like spring water, "Daddy really underestimated me, it's just a poem, what's the problem?"

"Okay, it's dad who underestimated you. My Zhaozhao has grown up and knows everything." Lord Rong's love for Rongzhao is beyond words, and he wished that everything his daughter said was right.

Just speaking of this, the expression on his face froze slightly, he looked at Rong Zhao seriously and said, "You will be sixteen after the new year, no matter how reluctant your father is, you will get married in a year or two."

"Father—" Rong Zhao snorted, his face flushed slightly, and he became ashamed.

Lord Rong patted her hand with his generous palm, "Girls are going to marry when they grow up, don't you want to stay by Dad's side forever?"

Rongzhao's eyes flashed with moisture, "I don't want to marry, I want to stay by Dad's side forever." Her voice was choked up, and she joked, "Does Dad dislike me? Afraid of me?" Too much food, will eat up the Hou Mansion? Don't worry, I will eat less, and I won't just sit and eat."

Lord Rong really had nothing to do with her, he had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "With your small body, you still want to eat up the Hou's mansion? Even ten of your fathers can afford it."

"Then it's fine, Dad, you are ready to support me for the rest of your life."

"Okay, dad is taking care of her. I don't feel at ease about my daughter marrying someone else."

"That's right, there is no man better than Dad in this world."

The two of them talked all the way, and Lord Rong sent Rong Zhao back to Qiwu Tower directly, and sat for a while before returning to the front yard to do business.

Looking at his leaving back, the smile on Rong Zhao's face gradually faded with his disappearance, and finally only a deep silent sigh remained.

In his father's heart, she was the most innocent and pure pearl in his heart. Even though she was arrogant and domineering, she was still pure in heart.But he didn't know that her bright pearl had already been covered with dust, and she wanted to use him to achieve her own goals.

Marquis Rong wanted to go back to his study, but what his daughter said just now was always echoing in his mind, so he involuntarily changed direction and went to Gao's place.

Mrs. Gao was angry because of what happened in Hengmuyuan today, and she was venting on Aunt Qin and Rong Wan, but she didn't expect Lord Hou to come over at this time.As soon as the servant girl came to pass the message, she immediately called the kneeling Aunt Qin mother and daughter to get up, and warned them not to talk too much, then she straightened her appearance and went out to greet her.

Before she went out, Lord Rong had already opened the curtain and came in. He didn't expect Aunt Qin and Rong Wan to be here, so he was slightly taken aback.

Gao quickly said: "I want to embroider a pattern, and I know Aunt Qin's embroidery is good, so I asked her to give me some advice." She was very considerate, and she took off the cloak for Lord Rong and shook the snow on it.

"My concubine is clumsy, how dare I call it a guide, Madam has raised my concubine." Aunt Qin followed her words and blessed Lord Rong. She kept her head down, and her voice was very gentle.Knowing that staying with Rong Wan would be an obstacle to Madam's eyes, he resigned, "Since Madam has learned it, then Concubine Shen and Ah Wan will leave first."

Gao said "Hmm" with a perfunctory expression, obviously anxious to let them leave quickly.

However, Lord Rong pressed Aunt Qin's shoulders. Seeing her frail body, he said with concern: "It's cold these days, add more clothes." Aunt Qin has always had a desire to be protected by a man. After a pause, "Go back first, I'll go to your place at night."

Gao's smile instantly fell below the freezing point, and she glared fiercely at Aunt Qin, but when Lord Rong turned his head to look at her, he quickly restrained himself, and put on the gentleness she always held, showing no trace of dissatisfaction.

After Aunt Qin and Rong Wan left, Mrs. Gao changed Lord Rong into regular clothes and brought a bowl of hot crispy cheese, "Master Hou only knows how to care about others, hurry up and drink something warm to warm up."

Lord Rong smiled lightly, took a few sips, nodded and said: "Very good, your craftsmanship has improved." He put down the crispy cheese, pulled Gao to sit next to him, "Why? Let me care about Aunt Qin, you Are you jealous?"

Gao's relationship with Lord Rong Hou is not bad, although it is not as affectionate as Rong Zhao's mother, who is a married couple, but they are also close as guests.Besides, Gao Shi is ten years younger than him, and he has always loved her very much.

"Where is it? Do you think I'm such a stingy person?" Seeing the gentle man beside him smiling at him, Gao's face was dyed a shy red.Different from being dignified in front of outsiders, a wife will naturally show such an expression in front of her husband.

Lord Ronghou was considered a very rare handsome man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, even in his forties, he still had an outstanding appearance and was full of charm.

At that time, Gao's eyes were higher than the top, and none of the young masters in Changge City looked up to him, but he was the only one who fell in love at first sight, knowing that he would marry a second wife, and he was willing to marry.

For so many years, although he already has fine lines, but every time he is together, he still feels like his heartbeat when he was young.

Just thinking that he would go to Aunt Qin's place at night, she couldn't help feeling sour again.

Lord Rong's smile was as gentle as spring, he held her shoulders, and joked, "Why do I feel lost when you say that, as if I haven't been taken seriously."

Gao only felt it was funny, tilted her head on his shoulder, smiled, and said softly: "Then if you want to say that, I want you to accompany me tonight, and you are not allowed to go to Aunt Qin."

Marquis Rong doesn't visit Aunt Qin's mother's room many times a month, and spends most of the time at Gao's, but she still thinks it's not enough, and just wants to occupy him by herself.

Although she said this as a coquettish, she actually thought so in her heart.

Lord Rong didn't realize it, he just took it as a joke, and said jokingly: "Just now you said you were not stingy, so you slapped yourself."

He didn't forget the purpose of this trip, he talked and laughed for a while, and then came to today's matter, "don't worry about the old lady today, she also has good intentions. When the third younger brother comes back, it is really hard for you to bear this big family alone. "

She knew that Master Hou had abducted her here because of something about the old lady, Gao said: "Of course I know that the old lady is afraid that I will be too tired, so she wants to find someone to share with me."

She didn't shy away from it either, and said bluntly: "But you also know, Marquis, that my second sibling and I don't get along at all. If we share the burden with her, I don't know how many troubles will arise."

"As for the third younger brother and sister, she is not from a very high background. How could she manage the affairs of a mansion as big as ours, and she is away all year round, and she doesn't know anything about the affairs of the mansion. If she comes to participate, I will I still don't know how much to give her. That's not helping more and more."
