The next night, Su Zizhao did not come back for dinner.

Everyone was vaguely worried, but no one said it.

After dinner, Feng coaxed Brother Yi to sleep as usual.

But she was a little lost in her room.

Tonight, is he going to see Miss Gu again?

Two days ago he said that he would decide the rest.

For the two days since, she has been waiting for him to make his final decision.

Because the matter was unresolved, her heart was tormented. She often wondered: Why can't he just be more simple?

If it's simpler, at least everyone can settle down sooner.

Anyway, his decision was nothing more than two things: to marry or not to marry Miss Gu.

She had thought carefully over both of these decisions, so she was brave enough to bear either of them.

However, she felt a little glad for Su Zizhao's decision to make a decision, and felt that it at least meant that he was taking this matter very seriously.

In any case, she should have believed that he would take care of it.

Feng gently put the sleeping Brother Yi on the bed, carefully covered him with the quilt, and then went to the hall.

Su Shanyun, Su Shanmo, and Su Shanli were still waiting there quietly.

"Shanyun, aren't you going to see that Sister Deng early tomorrow morning?" Feng asked.

"Yes." Su Shanyun replied.

"Then let's go and rest early."

"It's okay, I'll wait a little longer."

Feng Shi didn't force it anymore and asked his subordinates to bring some pine rice cakes, osmanthus cakes and fresh fruits.

However, everyone's appetite doesn't seem to be very good. So the things that were brought were put aside.

The night was getting deeper, and Su Zizhao still didn't come back, so everyone became more and more worried.

Feng then sent two men out to look around.

After a while, those two people came back with Su Zizhao and Su Zizhao's five personal guards.

Everyone suddenly became relieved and hurriedly got up to greet each other.

From a distance, everyone smelled the smell of wine on Su Zizhao's body.

He wasn't drunk, though.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Su Zizhao asked everyone with a frown.

"How can we sleep if you don't come back?" Feng said softly.

Su Zizhao glanced at her and sat down on the chair he usually sat on.

"Actually, I went to the government very early today, but I went to the Gu Mansion. July is coming, and I once said that I would go to the Gu Mansion in July to propose marriage. Su Zizhao said.

Feng's body trembled. She couldn't understand why she was so vulnerable when she heard about Miss Gu. Isn't she obviously making up her mind, no matter what decision he makes, she has to face it strongly?

"I apologize to Lord Gu and Miss Gu." He said.

Feng immediately looked up at him in disbelief.

Su Zizhao saw her eyes like this. He winked and smiled at her.

"It's a tough decision, isn't it? But luckily, I ended up getting down. I have never felt so guilty or regretted in my life. So some ...... After leaving the Gu Mansion, I went to a tavern and drank wine for a long time. Su Zizhao said softly, his eyes looking at the tea in his hand.

Such a decision came as a big surprise to everyone.

Feng Shi was immediately surrounded by an irresistible joy, but she quickly pressed it, looked at Su Zizhao and asked, "What about Miss Gu?" ”

"That's where I feel so guilty. But ......" Su Zizhao pondered. Didn't go any further.

"Won't she be overwhelmed by that?" Feng said worriedly.

Su Zizhao sighed and replied, "I talked to her for a long time before leaving." I guess she's not that vulnerable. As for what happened to her in the future...... I'll quietly help her find a good person in private. ”

Feng nodded, and then asked, "What did Master Gu say?" ”

"Of course he was angry and disappointed, but he knew my temperament. Didn't say much of the reproach. ”

"You...... Why did you suddenly change your mind? Feng asked uneasily, still not quite believing this fact.

"Again, I don't think I'm lacking anything, so don't be too greedy." Su Zizhao said.

"But...... Miss Gu will definitely be very sad. Feng said with a sad face.

Su Zizhao didn't answer, he stood up and said, "Let's go to bed early, everyone." ”

With that, he walked out.

Feng hurriedly followed.

The three sisters of the Su family also went back to their rooms.

Soon after, Su Shanyun heard Feng's cry.

She was a little worried, so she got up and stood by the window and listened quietly.

It was a small cry, but it stopped after a moment. Su Shanyun lay back on the bed.

The next day, Su Shanyun came to the bosom friend teahouse in Willow Lane at the agreed time.

Deng Ailian was already waiting in the agreed box.

Seeing Su Shanyun coming, Deng Ailian hurriedly stood up and saluted her, and Su Shanyun immediately returned the salute.

Then look at each other closely.

Deng Ailian and Su Shanyun are of the same height, with a goose egg face as bright as a crescent moon, her eyes are well-educated, her expression is naturally restrained, and her gestures are very steady and elegant.

Su Shanyun can see at a glance: this is a sensitive and pure person who has lived in an environment where you have been fighting for a long time, she knows how to use her talents and charm, and she also knows how to protect them appropriately.

And Su Shanyun in Deng Ailian's eyes is far more gentle and lovely than she imagined.

The two immediately liked each other and sat down at the table with a smile.

Because they were unfamiliar with each other, they didn't know what to talk about, so Su Shanyun took the initiative to ask her: "Life in the palace is very busy, right?" ”

"It's not very busy, but you have to be always on the lookout for mistakes." Deng Ailian replied.

"You are an extremely cautious person." Su Shanyun said with a smile.

Deng Ailian said modestly: "I reminded myself at the beginning of entering the palace: 'Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years', and this sentence later became my motto. ”

"If you had the chance to leave the palace, would you go home?" Su Shanyun asked with a smile.

"No, I'm used to a life. But I'll go back to visit my mother once in a while. Deng Ailian replied.

Her hands were always folded on her knees in a dignified manner, and she always had a friendly smile on her face when she looked at Su Shanyun.

"Will you live in the capital when you get old?" Su Shanyun asked again.

"Well, I've carefully saved some money over the years, and when I leave the palace, I'll buy a small house in a secluded place to spend my old age." Deng Ailian said with a smile.

"That's good, I will live in the capital for a long time in the future, and we can move around from time to time."

"Okay, as long as you don't dislike it, I can't ask for it."

"Of course you won't dislike it, you're too modest."

The two smiled.

Deng Ailian poured tea for Su Shanyun.

While she was pouring tea, Su Shanyun observed her.

is so dignified and elegant, safe and quiet, it feels sad and pleasant to look at.

Su Shanyun felt that as long as Deng Ailian was willing, even if she was forty years old, she would still not be able to get married. (To be continued......)
