Chapter 287: Truth/Appearance

"What we heard today, the seventh sister made it clear to the prince. It's time for this matter to come to an end. Liu Ruoxi said to Rong Chenghan thoughtfully.

In the few words she and Rong Chenghan heard today, Su Qingnuan showed her heart to Rong Chengyi. If it is not clarified, things can go on vaguely. Su Qingnuan's pick, whether it succeeds or not, will soon have results.

But the embarrassment is that Su Qingnuan's identity is obviously impossible to be Rong Chengyi's concubine. Even if the Su family is willing, the Yongjing Palace's side will not agree, it is too unseemly. However, the princess's health is getting better day by day. This is an impasse that cannot be resolved.

Rong Chenghan supported the forehead.

"Actually, it's an easy thing to solve, isn't it?" Seeing Rong Chenghan's troubles, Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but say.

"It stands to reason that it is." Rong Chenghan nodded. The princess is still alive, and Rong Chengyi has no heart for Su Qingnuan. As long as Su Qingnuan is sent back to the Su family, and the Su family tries their best to find a mother-in-law for her to marry, everything will be solved.

But there are some things in the palace that cannot be inferred from common sense.

For example, Su Qingnuan refused to give up, after all, her heart has been tied to the position of Rong Chengyi and the princess for so many years. For example, Su Shi's special doting on Su Qingnuan, and her incomprehensible desire to keep Su Qingnuan by her side.

"On the sister-in-law's side, many doctors have seen it, and they all say that the sister-in-law's life is not long. If the sister-in-law leaves suddenly, the other girls in the Su family have already married, and except for the seventh sister, there will be no other girls of appropriate age. Rong Chenghan's words solved the doubts in Liu Ruoxi's heart.

"In short, it's a mess." Rong Chenghan said helplessly.

"Then what we heard today, should we hide it, or should we tell my mother and father?" Liu Ruoxi asked Rong Chenghan.

"This is the eldest brother's business, or leave it to the eldest brother to deal with himself. Let's go and sue my father, the princess, and the princess, it's not appropriate. "Rong Chenghan didn't hesitate about this, he thought he had already made a plan." Later, I will go and talk to the eldest brother, and I will persuade him to think of a way to let the seventh sister leave. You just have to pretend that there is no such thing. ”

Liu Ruoxi listened. nodded and promised Rong Chenghan that she would keep it a secret. Rong Chenghan did this very appropriately.

"You said that when you were a child, you used to play with Tibetan cats in Lixiangyuan. At that time, when the seventh sister was old, did she also play with you? You also said that she always follows behind the prince......" Liu Ruoxi suddenly remembered what Rong Chenghan said in the pear fragrance garden, so she asked Rong Chenghan.

"At the beginning, the mother asked the seventh sister to play with me. But ......" Speaking of this, Rong Chenghan frowned slightly. He still remembered some things when he was a child, and he didn't have any ill feelings towards Su Qingnuan at first. A beautiful little girl who was younger than him, Su asked him to play with her, and he naturally nodded in response. But Su Qingnuan ......

Although Su Qingnuan is young, she is very scheming. Very deceiving. While lying to him and saying that he was playing with him to hide the cat, when he hid it, he didn't see Su Qingnuan coming to look for it for a long time. In the end, the sun he was waiting for was about to go down, so he came out of the hiding place to find Su Qingnuan. As a result, I saw Su Qingnuan and Rong Chengyi together.

Although he was ignorant at that time, he could see it once or twice, and after many times. Su Qingnuan's gaze at Rong Chengyi was very different from the gaze of others. Su Qingnuan said that playing with him was just a cover most of the time. It is to make it more convenient to approach Rong Chengyi.

Later, Rong Chenghan was naturally reluctant to deal with Su Qingnuan. But the dark experience of happily playing with Tibetan cats and being released for a whole day has always remained in Rong Chenghan's memory.

Listen to Rong Chenghan finish talking about this childhood grievance. Liu Ruoxi wanted to laugh, but looking at Rong Chenghan's face, she still couldn't help it. No wonder when it came to playing Tibetan cats in Lixiangyuan, Rong Chenghan's face would be so bad for a while. It turned out that there was such a public case in it.

Rong Chenghan Actually, he still holds a grudge, Liu Ruoxi thought.

It's ridiculous, Su Qingnuan once showed off in front of her how close she was to Rong Chenghan since she was a child. It's ridiculous that Su doesn't even know or take into account the feelings of his own son. insisted on marrying Su Qingnuan to Rong Chenghan.

Of course, she herself is ridiculous. Why did she believe Su Qingnuan's words so much at the beginning, but now that she thinks about it, it is clear that she is full of flaws, and she can't stand scrutiny at all. As long as she can talk openly and honestly with Rong Chenghan, everything will be clear.

But at that time, although she and Rong Chenghan were also husband and wife, she always suffered from gains and losses, and there seemed to be a barrier between the two of them.

From Rong Chenghan's narration, Liu Ruoxi became more and more clear. The reason why the Su family and the Su family chose Su Qingnuan as the candidate to succeed the princess was mostly due to Su Qingnuan's own facilitation. With such thoughts, she can't hide it from her family and the Su family.

"I don't understand, since she wants to be the princess of the world, why can't she get along with me?" Liu Ruoxi said to herself.

"At such a young age, she didn't have to use me as a pretense, she just went to her eldest brother. But she still lied to me every time, what do you say she is for? Rong Chenghan said, "It's just caused by nature." ”

"It's annoying!" Liu Ruoxi said.

"Yes." In this regard, Rong Chenghan couldn't agree anymore.

The two of them complained about Su Qingnuan together, and Rong Chenghan suddenly remembered another thing. He didn't speak, he just stared at Liu Ruoxi for a long time.

"What's wrong again?" Liu Ruoxi was puzzled.

"When I came back, I saw the post that my eldest brother gave you." Rong Chenghan didn't seem to care much about the authenticity, but his attitude was clearly a little bit of silver three hundred taels in Liu Ruoxi's eyes. "Big brother's post is very rare."

Liu Ruoxi accepted Rong Chengyi's post, but she didn't put it away. At that time, I was in a hurry to go to the play, so I put it on the low table. Anyway, in her house, in addition to her and Rong Chenghan, a few of Chang Mama's henchmen can come in. Even if she wasn't there, Mama Chang wouldn't let anyone else into her house and look through her things.

Of course, in that post, Liu Ruoxi didn't want to hide it from Rong Chenghan at all.

"Isn't that up to your face?" Liu Ruoxi smiled and said, "Besides, we have been looking for a hundred years of old ginseng to save the life of the princess." The prince naturally thanked us in his heart. It makes sense to send this post. ”

"Big brother doesn't just because of that. Just send that post. You don't know, the eldest brother's troupe usually rehearses, and never invites people to watch it. But it said that you can go at any time. Rong Chenghan was not satisfied with Liu Ruoxi's words.

"Send the post, give it to you, why not give it to me?!"

"You're not home." Liu Ruoxi said.

"When I was at home, he didn't deliver it." Rong Chenghan said.

"I must know that you don't like to go to theater." Liu Ruoxi said.

"Humph!" Rong Chenghan snorted.

"You're not going to be jealous of that, are you?" Liu Ruoxi seemed to have only realized Rong Chenghan's intentions, and said with a shocked face. Originally, he thought that Rong Chenghan was unhappy, just because she went to the theater and knew that he was back, and she didn't come back to accompany him. You can see the current situation. Rong Chenghan was jealous, and there was a faint reason for Rong Chengyi. happened to find Rong Chengyi and Su Qingnuan, which made Rong Chenghan forget about this stubble for the time being. But this matter is not so easy to get by here in Rong Chenghan. Now that he thinks about it, Rong Chenghan asked Liu Ruoxi to give him an explanation.

"You eat all this kind of flying vinegar, I didn't know that your vinegar was so strong." Liu Ruoxi was almost overjoyed.

Rong Chenghan's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot. He wasn't suspicious or suspicious. It's just that Liu Ruoxi is really stunning, and she is knowledgeable and outstanding. He knew that Rong Chengyi liked and admired such a woman the most. And Rong Chengyi is also the most suave and the most pleasing to women. And he. is essentially a martial artist, and he will not please women.

knew in his heart that it was impossible and shouldn't be, but Rong Chenghan still couldn't help but feel jealous.

Liu Ruoxi laughed for a while, and saw that Rong Chenghan still had a black face. He slowly smiled. She knew that this was not the time to be reasonable, and she had to coax Rong Chenghan well.

"Ah Han," Liu Ruoxi softened her tone. "We get married, although it is the words of the matchmaker of our parents, but it is also different from others. You also know the attitude of my father and mother towards me. If I hate you and don't like you, they won't agree to it. ”

Rong Chenghan's eyes suddenly lit up, and the black aura on his face faded little by little. Although Liu Ruoxi said it tactfully, it was tantamount to confessing that she was in love with Rong Chenghan.

"I don't have any other extravagant hopes, I just hope that we can be like my father and mother......" Liu Ruoxi glanced at Rong Chenghan.

"Nature." Rong Chenghan immediately reached out and took Liu Ruoxi in his arms. In Rong Chenghan's eyes, the second master Liu and the second wife Liu are the most affectionate and loving couple. He also knew that it was Mrs. Liu Er who first took a fancy to Mr. Liu, and Scholar Qi was in charge, so the two got married. Second Mrs. Liu loves Second Master Liu deeply. Liu Ruoxi hopes that the two of them will be like Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, doesn't that mean that Liu Ruoxi's feelings for him are also the same as Second Mrs. Liu's feelings for Second Master Liu.

At this moment, the vinegar in Rong Chenghan's heart had already turned into honey, and his face was radiant and very proud.

"If you're not happy, I won't go to Lixiangyuan in the future." Liu Ruoxi said in a low voice.

"Not really." Rong Chenghan immediately said, "I can't always stay at home with you, you're bored, just go." I'm such a stingy person! If I'm at home and you want to see it, I'll go with you. ”

Liu Ruoxi stopped talking, and buried her face in Rong Chenghan's arms again. Can't let Rong Chenghan see her smiling face that has succeeded in achieving her goal at the moment. She knew that as long as she was willing to take a step back, Rong Chenghan would be satisfied and would be more tolerant of her.

After that, Rong Chenghan really went to find Rong Chengyi, Liu Ruoxi didn't know what the brothers said, but the next day, Rong Chengyi went to the Su family. The people serving in the room were all separated, and Rong Chengyi and Su Shi talked alone for a long time.

When Rong Chengyi came out of Chunhui Hall, his face was not very good-looking. And Su sat in the house for a long time before sending someone to call Su Qingnuan to his side. At the end of the day, Su Qingnuan was sent home by the Su family.

Liu Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, and when Rong Chenghan came back from outside, she told Rong Chenghan the latest news.

Rong Chenghan just nodded, and did not make any comments.

"What are you thinking?" Liu Ruoxi looked at Rong Chenghan's face and said with a smile, "Isn't this the matter solved, what are you worried about?" ”

"You don't know." Rong Chenghan wiped his face, came over and sat on the couch, "When I just came back from the north, the seventh sister was not in the house. She was sent back to her hometown, saying that she had received news of my return and had rushed back to see me. ”

"Actually, that?" Liu Ruoxi asked.

"Before that, she had lived in the palace. Something happened, and the eldest brother was in charge and sent her home. The Su family sent her back to her hometown again. She lived in her hometown for half a year. If I hadn't come back, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for her to find a suitable excuse to come back. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Ruoxi sensitively sensed that the matter was not trivial, so she hurriedly asked.

"My eldest brother just told me yesterday, but he didn't want to go into details. There are not many people in the house who know about it, and they are all arranged by the mother to keep their mouths shut. Rong Chenghan said.

"Isn't it that the seventh sister can't wait and has done something to come out?" Liu Ruoxi guessed. Because of this, the palace had to send her away, and because she was afraid that the truth/disclosure would affect Su Qingnuan's reputation, she suppressed the matter. Su Qingnuan was not only sent back to the Su family, but also sent to her hometown thousands of miles away.

The Su family's hometown is not as prosperous as the capital, if it is not a big event, how can they be willing to send a young girl back, and they will live for half a year.

"The princess refused to speak, and neither did the prince. So, you didn't ask someone to inquire in private? Liu Ruoxi asked again.

Where can you not find someone to inquire about it, but the result of the inquiry is not much. That incident was really locked down extremely tightly.

"Everything else is vague, I can only know for sure. During that time, my sister-in-law became seriously ill, which was very dangerous and almost lost her life. "Rong Chenghan told Liu Ruoji," After that, the sister-in-law's yard was cleaned a lot, and many people were gone. There are other people in the house here. This is one of the main reasons why he can't find out what happened.

"Oh......" Liu Ruoxi let out a long sigh, and some things seemed to have been faintly revealed. By the way, I suddenly remembered. Before you came back last year, during the Buddha Bathing Festival, my family went to Daxiangguo Temple to incense and met the princess. I heard from my grandmother that the princess was recovering from a serious illness at that time......"

If the princess's critical illness was related to Su Qingnuan, in the end Su Qingnuan had to be sent away to calm the situation. This is a great event, how can Su Shi not be worried, it is natural to be sick. As for the Su family slowly improving during the Buddha Bathing Festival, I think Su Qingnuan has been sent away, and the life of the princess has been saved. And these can't be said to the outside world, everyone only guesses that it is because the old prince is coming back from the north.

When it happened, not only Rong Chenghan was still in the north and did not come back, but so did the old prince.

In the evening, Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan went to Chunhui Hall to greet the old prince and the Su family. When the two of them arrived at Chunhui Hall, Rong Chengyi, Rong Chengxiang, and Lloyd's were already there. After seeing each other, everyone sat down again and talked with the old prince and the Su family.

The old prince is as good as before, but the Su family is a little embarrassed. Liu Ruoxi glanced around, but naturally didn't see Su Qingnuan. Liu Ruoxi knew it, so she naturally wouldn't say anything. Su Shi happened to raise his eyelids at this time, and glanced at Liu Ruoxi.

"The seventh girl has something to do at home, so she sent someone to pick her up." Su Shi took the initiative to speak, "Things are a little urgent, so I didn't let her say goodbye to you." It's all in the capital, and it's easy to say goodbye. When things are over there, I'll have to pick her up again. …… Over the years, I've been thanks to the Seven Girls. The princess also has a lot of care from her. ”

The next words, Su Shi obviously said it to Liu Ruoxi and Lloyd's on purpose.

"Don't listen to the gossip out there. If someone asks, you know what to say. (To be continued......)
