188. Self-knowledge
"What...... What do you mean? Deng Yarong was stunned, not understanding the last half of Xu Shu's words.
"She wants me alone!" Xu Shu stretched out a finger, "That's why she was in a hurry when Grand Prince Qi was about to come with her just now, because she didn't want Grand Duke Qi to come over and ruin her plan!" And after a while, someone should come and call you away, and as for the reason for telling you to leave, it's probably that your mother is looking for you or something! ”
"Why?" Deng Yarong's eyes widened, and she didn't know if she didn't understand what Xu Shu said, or if she didn't understand Wan's plan.
Xu Shu didn't explain, but asked, "Did Mrs. Qi find you before eating?" What did she tell you? Let me guess, it must have something to do with the fourth prince of Qi, right? She must have shown that she was very satisfied with you, and even revealed that if it weren't for the marriage given by the first emperor, she would definitely let you be her daughter-in-law, am I right? ”
Almost the same, Deng Yarong was a little shocked, "You...... Did you overhear me talking to my aunt? ”
"Do you still need to eavesdrop?" Xu Shu smiled, "Your thoughts are written on your face, everyone can see it, you will be led by the nose in a casual sentence or two, and it is easy for others to take advantage of you!" ”
"What do you mean? You mean I'm stupid? Deng Yarong retorted angrily, "You're no better!" ”
"I'm different from you, I know you have calculations against me, I'm willing to follow you here, and you're being used as a gun by someone else!" It's a pity that the gun picked by Wan is too blunt.
"You're saying my aunt used me to bring you here?" Deng Yarong still understood this sentence, but she still didn't understand the whole thing.
"Looks like you're not hopelessly stupid!"
Xu Shu's half-ridiculed and half-praising tone angered Deng Yarong, "What you said are all your guesses, what about the evidence?" ”
"Evidence? The proof is not long in coming! Xu Shu pointed out the door.
Deng Yarong looked over and saw two maidservants coming this way, and the maidservants entered the door and saluted and said to Deng Yarong, "Miss Biao, Mrs. Deng is looking for you, let you go quickly!" ”
was said by Xu Shu! And word for word!
Deng Yarong looked at Xu Shu, then at the two maidservants, hesitating and not knowing whether to get up.
Xu Shu suddenly attached her ear, "Do you want to know what will happen next?" If you want to know, stay, but if you're scared, go ahead! ”
"Who's afraid! Stay, stay! Deng Yarong said angrily to the two maidservants, "Go back, I'll go to my mother later!" ”
The maidservants glanced at each other, and wanted to say something more, but Deng Yarong bombarded them away, "Why are you still stunned here?" Don't go yet! ”
The maidservants had no choice but to leave.
Deng Yarong looked at Xu Shu and asked suspiciously and slightly uneasily, "Auntie, is she really using me?" Wan's kind smile and affectionate tone really couldn't be more real, how could he be lying to her?
"Some people are not necessarily really good to you, and some people are not necessarily really bad to you!" Xu Shu said with a mystery, "You have to thank me after today, I helped you two times a lot today!" ”
"How can you help me?" Deng Yarong was puzzled for a moment and muttered, "I don't want you to help, let alone thank you!" ”
"That's your business!" Xu Shu hooked the corners of her mouth, as simple as Deng Yarong, she took the bait casually, no wonder Wan took the risk of thunder to use her, so take advantage of it, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't need it?
Xu Shu hugged her arms for a long time, and suddenly said, "What did Mrs. Qi tell you?" You can make Miss Deng Wu, who is above the top, you are willing to saddle up and help her, and you will not flinch after so many cold eyes from me! ”
"You don't have to worry about it!" Deng Yarong glanced at Xu Shu viciously, turned her head, but her heart was both confused and sour, and a voice in her heart told her that what Xu Shu said was right, her aunt was using her, but she didn't want to believe that it was true, she liked the fourth cousin so much, for the sake of the fourth cousin, she could endure any hardship, and she could endure any crime, as long as she could marry the fourth cousin, even if she was used, she was willing! Yes, what my aunt said is not entirely wrong, as long as Xu Shu can't marry her fourth cousin, then she won't have a chance, right? So no matter whether her aunt is using her or not, it will be good for her to persuade Xu Shu to give up her fourth cousin!
Deng Yarong took a deep breath, suddenly sat down next to Xu Shu, and said very seriously, "You can't marry the fourth cousin!" ”
"What did Mrs. Qi tell you?" Xu Shu raised her eyebrows, if she hadn't intersected with Deng Yarong a lot, she would have really been so uncertain and startled by her temperament.
Deng Yarong didn't refute, it was a tacit acquiescence, "You are a blind man, and you are not worthy of the fourth cousin!" ”
Xu Shu felt that Deng Yarong's serious appearance was a little funny, and she had the intention to tease her, "You bother, this is my business, I don't need you to care!" ”
"You!" Deng Yarong stood up angrily, and after a while, remembering her purpose for finding Xu Shu, she sat down again, and said seriously, "I'm here for your good!" You yourself have seen it, the fourth cousin, he doesn't like you, he will be angry even mentioning your name, the twisted melon is not sweet, even if you force him to marry you, he will not treat you well, and you will not have a good time in the future! ”
"What you say seems to make a lot of sense!" Xu Shu nodded in agreement.
Deng Yarong was overjoyed in her heart, and made persistent efforts, "I know that you are also arrogant, and you definitely don't want to be wronged for the rest of your life, right?" ”
Xu Shu nodded, "So what?" The first emperor gave marriage, it's not something I can control! ”
"There is a way, there is a way!" Deng Yarong was overjoyed, Xu Shu just said the key point that she was most difficult to talk about, "Marriage is a good thing to have two surnames, it doesn't necessarily have to let you marry your fourth cousin, you can also marry ...... Marry someone else, as long as it's a member of the Qi family! ”
There was a name Deng Yarong almost blurted out, but in the end, she still felt that it was too sudden, and swallowed it again.
"For example? In addition to the fourth prince of Qi, who else can he marry? Xu Shu didn't give her a chance to swallow it.
"For example, the eldest cousin can also be!" Deng Yarong still couldn't hold back in the end.
Xu Shu smiled, "This is also what Mrs. Qi taught you, right?" She hinted that as long as I don't marry the fourth prince of Qi, you will have a chance, right? ”
"So what?" Deng Yarong simply didn't hide it, "What my aunt said is the truth, you are disabled, you are not worthy of the fourth cousin, my aunt sees that you are pitiful, and is willing to marry you to the eldest cousin, but I don't want you to be lonely and helpless in the rest of your life, and you can fulfill me and the fourth cousin, so the best of both worlds, why not!" ”
"Fool, you don't even know that you've been sold! Let's go, go and see how ridiculous it is to say the best of both worlds in your mouth! ”
Xu Shu stood up, and someone just came in from outside the door and asked them to move to see the hibiscus bird.
