It was already late at night, and Xie Shurou was sleeping fragrantly. It's been too long, she has been used to such days, and she trusts the full moon and the stars around her more and more, so Xie Shurou feels that she has probably lost some of her vigilance to cross the party.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain it, in the middle of the night, someone suddenly sat next to her bed, and she didn't even notice it for the first time.

Xie Shurou didn't know how she woke up, anyway, in the middle of the night, when she opened her eyes, she saw Grandma Xie sitting silently in front of her bed, which really scared her so much that she almost jumped up.

The light in the room was very dim, and Grandma Xie hadn't put her hair in a bun yet, so she sat in front of her bed crying with her hair scattered, which was really terrifying.

Fortunately, Xie Shurou recognized in time that the person who appeared at the bedside in the middle of the night was her own mother, Grandma Xie, so she forcibly endured the screams that came to her mouth.

Seeing that Xie Shurou woke up, Grandma Xie, who had been crying silently, quickly wiped away her tears and showed a gentle smile to her daughter: "Rou'er, why did you wake up?" Is it thirsty? ”

Saying that, Grandma Xie didn't wait for Xie Shurou to answer, and personally turned around and picked up the teapot on the small table on the side and poured a cup of tea for Xie Shurou.

"It's late, why did the mother suddenly come to her daughter's room." Xie Shurou hurriedly sat up and took the tea cup handed by Grandma Xie with both hands: "But what happened?" ”

"It's fine." Grandma Xie's eyes were still slightly red, but she tried to show a relaxed smile to her daughter: "I just want to see you." ”

"Mother," Xie Shurou pulled Grandma Xie's hand: "You were crying just now, and your daughter has already seen it." You came here so late, there must be something important, you ......"

"Nope. No. Don't think about it," Grandma Xie quickly patted her daughter's arm and showed a soothing smile: "Nothing." I came here because your grandmother sent someone to pass on the news that it was only early summer, and the weather was already very hot, and I was afraid that it would be sad this summer, so I wanted to go to a beautiful temple near Gyeonggi to live in a beautiful temple for a while, escape the heat, and let you accompany you. ”

"Oh!" Xie Shurou breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "Scared me." So that's what happened. But my grandmother remembered to go to the summer this year, and she had never been there in previous years. ”

"It's not unusual." Grandma Xie lowered her head and avoided her daughter's eyes: "Her old man is old, and she can't use ice in the room, so it's naturally sad in summer, so it's better to go to the mountains to take refuge." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I'll go and accompany you first." Xie Shurou replied with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it these days, I will accompany my grandmother well." It's just that I still ask you to send someone to pick me up at the beginning of June, Sister Mu celebrated her birthday in June, there are so many things in the Anguo Mansion this year, her family is afraid that they don't have the heart to announce her birthday, I want to wait for her birthday, go to the Anguo Mansion and accompany her. ”

"Rou'er......" Grandma Xie raised her head, looking a little embarrassed, she hesitated for a moment, but still chose to tell her daughter part of the truth: "What does your grandfather mean, I hope you will accompany your grandmother well and come back after the beginning of autumn." ”

Xie Shurou didn't react at first, she instinctively wanted to speak, and asked her mother to come back in June, and then go back to the mountain after accompanying Mu Hongsheng for her birthday. But before the words could be spoken, she suddenly grasped the point of "grandfather's meaning".

So, it's not that my grandmother wants to go up to the mountain to escape the summer, or that my grandmother wants her to accompany her, all of this is actually what Xie Xiang meant?

Xie Shurou looked at Grandma Xie steadily, and was silent for a few seconds before she spoke: "Will you come back after the beginning of autumn?" That's going to be a long time in the mountains! ”

"Well," Grandma Xie smiled stiffly, "After the beginning of autumn, the heat can dissipate." ”

"But lately, there have been a lot of things in the DPRK and at home, and it's always bad if my grandmother isn't there." Xie Shurou lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Mother, in fact, I didn't accompany my grandmother to escape the summer, right?" It's my grandmother who wants to take refuge in the mountains, right? ”

Grandma Xie looked at her daughter, a little unsure of how to answer such a question. But looking at her somewhat helpless expression, Xie Shurou woke up. Did she Xie Shurou not offend anyone, Xie Xiang suddenly asked her to stay in the mountains, what could she do? Who can you hide from? Come to think of it, there is only King Yi!

That's a good thing!

Xie Shurou knew that she was over eighteen years old, and the marriage would definitely not be delayed for a long time. Living in such a social environment, no matter how hard she tries, she can't break free from the mercy of fate. When the time comes, the whole family will force her to put on a wedding dress and marry a man she doesn't like.

She didn't want to get married, but she couldn't help it. Xie Shurou knows this.

But although Xie Shurou worked hard to do psychological construction, hoping to force herself to accept such a result, deep down, she didn't want to accept her fate so easily, especially ...... I don't want to marry Zheng Jin easily.

She even thought that if she could choose one of the two, blindly marrying a certain family in Beijing and marrying Zheng Jinxuan, she would rather choose the passer-by she didn't know.

Compared with her dislike of Zheng Jin, she actually dislikes the identity of the princess even more. Is the emperor's daughter-in-law so easy to be? It's a joke.

Really married to the palace of King Yi, she accompanied the head of the king to kill the prince when she failed, and she had to enter the palace if she succeeded in the prince's battle, and was buried in the harem for the rest of her life, living a life of walking on thin ice every day, and had to kneel to meet her husband.

Xie Xiang's sudden order made Xie Shurou suddenly see the dawn of breaking free from the cage of fate. She is not stupid, she can understand after a little thought, she is eighteen years old, and the marriage can not be delayed any longer, and the queen specially rewarded Mrs. Xie a few days ago, and tried the Xie family openly and secretly. Xie Xiang had an ambiguous attitude at the beginning, but today he suddenly asked her to avoid going up the mountain, which clearly showed that she had changed her mind!

Of course, this is a great thing for Xie Shurou, so after she heard about this, her attitude was very calm, so calm that Grandma Xie couldn't understand it.

All along, Xie Shurou knew that her reluctance was undoubted. In this family, no one can understand her thoughts, and her mother even really thinks that King Yi is a good marriage partner, on the grounds that Zheng Jin is very good to her.

Grandma Xie, a woman who regards her husband as the sky, has been taught since she was a child to be unconditionally obedient to men. She is so virtuous and obedient, but in exchange for Xie Changjing's infidelity to her marriage and contempt for her. However, Grandma Xie will blame and resentful those "vixens who can only seduce people", and will also complain about fate, but she has never blamed her husband.

For Grandma Xie, all her expectations for a happy marriage are nothing more than her husband's thoughtfulness, Xie Changjing is willing to open her mouth to coax her, and she already feels very happy. Therefore, she sincerely felt that it was good for her daughter to marry King Yi.
