210. Authenticity
Xu Shu perfunctory Qi Peng, but couldn't perfunctory herself, the Empress Dowager's anger at the Qi family must be because of Concubine Zhen, and in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Zhen and Zhou Jin are one, Concubine Zhen's attitude represents Zhou Jin's attitude, Concubine Zhen wants to come back, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, it is Zhou Jin who wants to come back.
But now Zhou Jin's identity is a little embarrassing, he was the first emperor and the crown prince, after the first emperor died, he should have succeeded to the throne, but it was his uncle who finally ascended the throne - the current saint, as the former prince, either died of old age in a foreign country, or survived to the west, otherwise his existence is an unstable factor for Da Yin, and the empress dowager will never allow him to come back.
Concubine Zhen is from the Qi family, and it is natural for the Empress Dowager to be angry with the Qi family, and in the heart of the Empress Dowager, she may think that the Qi family supports Zhou Jin, after all, if Zhou Jin succeeds to the throne, it seems to be more beneficial to the Qi family!
The Empress Dowager wants to punish the Qi family and show that the emperor's order cannot be violated, and the best way is to force the Qi family to marry herself, a blind man, in the final analysis, she is just a victim of the imperial power game.
"If the Empress Dowager really makes a decree, will you marry the fourth brother?" Qi Peng asked suddenly.
Xu Shu sighed lightly, "It's not that time yet!" It won't be that time! "Before the Empress Dowager makes a decree, she will find a way to fulfill Xu Ting, which is not only to fulfill Xu Ting, but also to free herself.
"Looks like you've got an idea!" Qi Peng suddenly felt a sense of relief, it seemed that Xu Shu's not marrying Qi Rui was a very fortunate thing for him, and it was indeed a good thing.
"Look at the providence!" Xu Shu muttered in a low voice, hoping that he could bet right.
"Providence ......" Qi Peng couldn't help but think of the reason why Xu Shu and Qi Rui decided to marry, "When you and the fourth brother set up a relationship, everyone also said that it was the will of heaven, which shows that the will of heaven sometimes does not fulfill people's wishes, and you and the fourth brother are not satisfied with this marriage!" ”
"Even if the will of heaven is not in my favor, it will not go well with your Qi family, with the Qi family in front, what do I have to worry about?" Xu Shu dared to pack the ticket, and the Wan family would definitely do their best to oppose this family affair after experiencing the blow of rumors, after all, the Wan family would count all the accounts on their own heads, even if they failed to match Xu Ting and Qi Rui in the end, there would still be Wan Shi to disrupt the situation, and this wicked person would not be done by her Xu Shu.
Qi Peng also thought of Wan's, and blurted out, "Mother's business is your ......" suddenly felt abrupt, so he stopped.
Xu Shu didn't shy away from it, "I reminded people that some people want to kill two birds with one stone, but it's a pity that in the end it's someone else who is cheap!" ”
Mrs. Deng wanted to use the scandal of the Wan family to make the girl of the Wan family lose her qualification to be elected as the princess of the eldest prince, so that Deng Yarong could have a chance, but she didn't expect that in the end, it was the Yang family who was favored by the Queen Mother.
"By the way, Miss Deng Wu has been okay lately?" Xu Shu suddenly realized that there had been no news of Deng Yarong for a long time, and Deng Yarong had never written a letter to her since she jumped out of the car.
"My cousin doesn't seem to be doing well! I heard that there were several troubles a few years ago, and it was quiet before the Chinese New Year, and I haven't heard any news since then! Qi Peng looked a little helpless, "You also know, my cousin was injured in our house last time, and now my aunt looks at our family very unpleasantly, and she hasn't come back to see my grandmother after the year!" ”
Qi Peng glanced at Qi Rui, and secretly said that if his cousin played a little bit again, he was afraid that the fourth brother would forget about her.
"Mrs. Deng is so temperamental!" Xu Shu smiled lightly, although Deng Yarong is not as shrewd and capable as Mrs. Deng, her temperament is somewhat similar.
"It's also our family that is at fault!" Although Qi Peng said that the Qi family was at a loss, there was no guilty look on his face.
"Mrs. Deng should thank you very much, if you hadn't reported the news, she wouldn't have seen the true face of some people!"
Qi Peng coughed embarrassedly, "It's also a virtue to see through and not say it!" Besides, when you gave me a look, I knew that you had succeeded, and after all, I also helped you, and I was very unhappy in my heart when I caught my mother in injustice for you! ”
Xu Shu sneered, "Feeling uneasy? Shouldn't it be a great pleasure? How much of the humiliation and oppression you suffered after a lame leg came from the people closest to you? The grief and anger that have been suppressed for many years finally have a chance to erupt, I just gave you a chance, whether to seize it is your business or not, it has nothing to do with me, so you didn't help me, you helped yourself. ”
The true thoughts in his heart were broken by Xu Shu, Qi Peng's face was somewhat unbearable, he seemed to have no secrets in front of Xu Shu, and the darkest side of his heart had nowhere to hide, the funny thing was that he was as dark as he was still pretending to be a generous and elegant humble gentleman in front of Xu Shu, but he didn't know that Xu Shu had already seen through him at a glance, and he had seen through it very early, but he was still like a clown who jumped off the beam and made up for it with his clumsy acting skills.
"Hypocrites are more likely to deal with real villains than real villains!" Between Qi Peng and Zhou Jin, Xu Shu would rather deal with Zhou Jin, at least Zhou Jin never concealed his purpose and ambition, but Qi Peng is different, he wants to gain profits, but also wants to be famous, this kind of talent is the most dangerous.
"What kind of person you are has nothing to do with others, it's enough to be yourself, it's not worth it to live so tired for the eyes of some irrelevant people!" It's like she never cares what others think of her, she can't control what others think, and others don't want to interfere with her actions.
Xu Shu woke up Qi Peng, Qi Peng nodded ashamedly, "I admit that I am not a frank and unrestrained gentleman, but I covet the reputation of a gentleman, the world is always easier to accept a well-dressed person, rather than a raunchy beggar, even if the well-dressed man is just sanctimonious!" Probably I want to be accepted and recognized by the world! ”
has been a cripple for many years, how much he longs to be a normal person, have the social interaction that a normal person should have, and experience the life of a normal person, he strives to do everything that may be liked by others, and strives to be a person who is easy to be accepted and recognized, even if he wants to disguise, he is willing to wear a false mask all the time.
"I'm tired!" Xu Shu whispered, Qi Peng is more like herself who has just been blind, she has been crawling in the dark for many years, she also came from Qi Peng's state of mind, I only hope that Qi Peng can wake up as soon as possible.
"Xu Shu, I don't want to be your enemy or the person you dislike one day in the future, so if I have something that upsets you, please tell me as straightforwardly as I did just now, okay?" Qi Peng suddenly looked at Xu Shu solemnly.
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, nodded mechanically, Qi Peng, what's wrong?
