Chapter 300: Confession
Zhu Heng didn't believe that the relationship between Zeng Rong and Ouyang Si was just a life-saving grace.
In the past few months of contact with Zeng Rong, he can clearly perceive Zeng Rong's care and care for him, but whenever he wants to go further, Zeng Rong will always show her resistance in a timely manner, for example, Fang Cai, he obviously grabbed Zeng Rong's hand and wrapped it in his palm, but Zeng Rong would still pull it out as soon as possible.
Although he has not liked anyone over the years, nor has he been moved by anyone, he also understands that Zeng Rong cares for him, mixed with pity, sympathy, and maybe a little family affection, but it is not the kind of love he wants, let alone love.
At first, he thought that Zeng Rong disliked his disability, but after contacting her twice, he knew that she was not this kind of person, but that she had something on her mind, perhaps because she had someone else in her heart.
So, he ordered Jiangnan and Jiangbei to collect some news about Zeng Rong before she entered the palace, that is, the period from after she entered Beijing to before she entered the palace.
Therefore, he knew that Zeng Rong entered Beijing with Mrs. Xu, lived in the house of the Xu family before entering the palace, and worked as an embroiderer in the embroidery workshop of the second daughter-in-law of the Xu family, and also knew that Zeng Rong and the Wang family had a holiday, and knew that Wang Fan, Li Man, and Gu Tou went to the Jinxiufang to harass Zeng Rong.
It was precisely because of the Wang family's pressing step by step that Zeng Rong didn't want the Xu family to be caught in the middle, so he had to enter the palace and become an embroiderer.
And the reason why Zhu Heng brought the two brothers for Zeng Rong was because he learned from Amei that Zeng Rong fostered Zeng Hua in the Xu family, and also knew that Zeng Rong had been cooperating with Jinxiufang to draw tricks to earn money and prepare to buy a house to bring his brother over.
Zhu Heng couldn't bear to let Zeng Rong be too manipulative at a young age, so he wanted to take this matter over for her, and it happened that Zeng Rong mentioned Ouyang Si again last time, saying that she owed this person a great favor, and at that time he promised to repay this favor for Zeng Rong without even a moment of hesitation.
It's just that he never expected that what Zeng Rong owed would be the grace of saving his life plus the grace of reconstruction, because the other party was not only a young and talented scholar, but also a kind and helpful doctor, Zeng Rong escaped from that home and lived in the academy with the help of this person, and followed this person to learn to read, draw and identify herbs, so that he had a skill and the confidence to support himself.
It can be said that this person not only saved Zeng Rong's life, but also paved a back road for Zeng Rong, if there was no such back road, Zeng Rong would not have had the opportunity to save Xu Jing, the eldest grandson of the Xu family, and there would be no later entry into Beijing, no meeting between them.
In short, this person is not generally important to Zeng Rong, Zhu Heng was not confident that he could replace him, but when he saw the needle and bruise on Zeng Rong's hand, he was moved and moved, so he grabbed Zeng Rong's hand for the first time, he wanted to be selfish once, and he wanted to work hard again, missing her, he didn't know if he could meet such a kind, pure and compatible woman.
It is true that he can completely ignore Zeng Rong's inner feelings and force her to stay by his side, given time, maybe one day Zeng Rong will put that person down, but before that?
Zhu Heng was conflicted.
Therefore, when Zeng Rong asked him if he didn't say anything, he asked Zeng Rong if there was anything he wanted to tell him, but when Zeng Rong said the words "life-saving grace, that's all", Zhu Heng was happy but inevitably a little lost.
is happy because Zeng Rong is willing to lie to him, which shows that she is reluctant to hurt him, and shows that she still values him very much; The loss is also because Zeng Rong is lying to him, which shows that Zeng Rong does not regard him as a confidant, and does not believe that he will hurt the life-saving benefactor she values because he loves the house and Wu.
It's a strange feeling, for the first time in my life, happiness and loss are actually deceived by the same person.
What Zhu Heng didn't know was that his little caution fell in Zeng Rong's eyes, one moment his eyes were still as bright as stars, and the next moment his eyes drooped, his brilliance was lost, and his lips pursed, he took the initiative to let go of Zeng Rong's dress, put his hand on his knee, and rubbed his knee in vain.
Zeng Rong had been with him for so long, and he had long been aware of his small actions, so Zeng Rong squatted in front of him again, looked up at him, and tried to shout, "Ah Heng." ”
"You, you, what do you call me?" Zhu Heng's face slowly turned red, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes when he looked at Zeng Rong.
"Ah Heng, I didn't lie to you, the reason why I didn't tell you the truth before was because I didn't want to open up my past in front of you, those pains have passed, I don't want to cut a few more cuts on your already scarred heart because of them, you are already so difficult, how can I bear it?" Zeng Rong explained.
She knew that if she didn't make this matter clear, she was afraid that Zhu Heng would always have a shadow in his heart, and it would even affect his health.
"You, you, you mean, you don't like him, what you like is... Zhu Hengyi grabbed Zeng Rong's shoulder excitedly.
"Ah Heng." Zeng Rong interrupted him, "What I know for sure is that I really don't like him, and as for the rest, I still need time." ”
"Why?" Zhu Heng didn't understand it.
Zeng Rong obviously cares about him so much, when he is sad, he messes around with him, and enlightens him with his heart when he is confused, and even when he eats and takes medicine, she spends her time coaxing him, and then later, she accompanies him to read and paint, accompanies him to enjoy flowers and listen to the wind, and accompanies him to fly kites on the street, whether she is happy or not, she can accurately perceive his mind and find out how to deal with it in a timely manner.
By the way, she also went to learn acupuncture for him, and quickly made her hands into a sieve, if these are not sure whether they are like or love, then what is the real love and love?
Zhu Heng wanted to ask out loud, but when the words came to his mouth a few times, he swallowed them back, and he couldn't say why, probably because he was afraid that the answer would be a weight that he couldn't bear.
"No, a lot of things are drifting off my radar, and I'm not sure where I'm going. Ah Heng, not only you have shackles, but I also have them. Zeng Rong's tears fell,
Without it, the other party's forbearance and suffering are also unbearable for her.
To be honest, today's confession is really not expected, she came to see him because of the Queen Mother, and because she has something very important to say, not because she misses because she misses.
Of course, she knew what he thought about her, but she never expected that he would be willing to do this for her, and actually pick up her relatives thousands of miles away to settle down.
If he was a normal prince with his own power, or a favored prince, maybe she wouldn't be so moved.
What made Zeng Rong even more satisfied was that he really had a heart to heart with her, and only took her two brothers and eldest sister-in-law, and gave up the pair of unscrupulous parents.
