Chapter 172: A dilemma
"It's impossible! I will never say yes! Qin Xiao's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Mrs. An Guohou with his mouth open in disbelief, as if he didn't believe that this sentence came from his mother's mouth.
Su Daiyun sitting in the carriage. The happy smile on her face had just bloomed when she was ruthlessly struck. Being a concubine? She couldn't recover from the word for a long time. She is the eldest daughter of the high-ranking Cheng'an Bo Mansion, and Mrs. An Guohou actually said to let her be a concubine? How can this be? How could such a noble person be such a lowly concubine! This is no longer a blow to her Su Daiyun, but a blow to the entire Cheng'an Bo Mansion, if she becomes a concubine, then, what kind of face does the Cheng Anbo Mansion have in this world? Her father. How can you be the official of the four capitals?
This time. Su Daiyun had completely forgotten that she had been taken out of the Hou Mansion. By the time he was charged with adultery, the reputation of the Joan Bofu had already been stinking in Kyoto. Her sisters, Su Qianyun and Su Xiyun, will be influenced by her when they grow up and talk about their in-laws, and it is very likely that they will not be able to marry in this generation. All this is thanks to her. Of course, if Su Daiyun knew that Su Xiyun couldn't marry because of herself, I'm afraid it would be too late to be happy.
The onlookers heard Mrs. An Guohou's words. Quite a few people nodded. are praising Mrs. An Guohou for doing a decent job and doing it well. Regardless of whether Su Daiyun's adultery is true or not, she has been tarnished, whether it is her reputation or body, she is already an unclean person, how can such a person still be on an equal footing with Du Ruoyun, and how can she be the young lady of Anguo Houfu? Being able to be a concubine is already an extrajudicial favor for Mrs. An Guohou.
When Mrs. An Guohou saw everyone's expressions, she couldn't help but feel proud in her heart, so she said. People are on her side. Su Daiyun's cheap hoof, she only has to be a concubine!
When Du Ruoyun finished saying what she had just said, she had already stepped back a little, putting Mrs. An Guohou in the most obvious position, and as she expected, the mother was on the bar again. However, Mrs. An Guohou's proposal surprised her, she originally planned to wait for Su Daiyun to enter the mansion, and then slowly planned to pull her down from the position of wife to be a concubine, but now Mrs. An Guohou's move saved her effort.
Du Ruoyun couldn't help but smile slightly in his heart, but there was still a worried and unbearable expression on his face. She stroked her belly and stepped forward, and persuaded Mrs. An Guohou: "Mother, why are you here!" Sister Su, she has always been the most beloved person in the world, how can he watch Sister Su suffer as a concubine? Isn't he the one who will be embarrassed when the time comes? If he gets angry and hurts, won't it hurt your heart in the end? ”
Qin Xiao never thought that the person who opened his mouth to persuade his mother not to let Su Daiyun be a concubine was Du Ruoyun, and he looked at the other party in surprise at the moment, but Du Ruoyun was only talking to Mrs. An Guohou at the moment, and he didn't see this scene at all. Qin Xiao glanced at it twice and then withdrew her gaze, thinking in her heart: Maybe she is sure that her mother is the kind of person who is difficult to change her mind, so here the cat cries and consumes fake compassion! Hmph, this woman is as vicious as ever!
Mrs. An Guohou became more and more angry the more she listened, what is Qin Xiao's favorite person is Su Daiyun? That's her son! She was pregnant for ten months, and she gave birth to a child with hard work! But her heart was firmly occupied by Su Daiyun, and now she doesn't even listen to her as a mother! She has made up her mind, today she must let her nod and agree to let Su Daiyun be a concubine!
"He's afraid that Daiyun will be angry, isn't he afraid that I'll be angry? When that slut gets angry, he will be sad, so who cares when my mother is angry? Why have I bothered to fulfill others, and yet I grieved myself! Mrs. An Guohou said coldly.
Du Ruoyun was stunned, as if she didn't expect her to say this, and after a while, she persuaded: "Mother, you better relax your heart, Sister Su used to be very filial to your mother, right?" If you think about her better, you won't have such a big prejudice against her, after all, she doesn't want those things either. ”
The suspicion of exculpating Su Daiyun in these words was even greater, not only Mrs. An Guohou was a little puzzled, but even the onlookers were puzzled. However, Qin Xiao always looked expressionless, and as for Su Daiyun who was sitting in the carriage, when she heard Du Ruoyun's words, a mocking smile appeared on her face.
This person tried every means to take away her identity as a wife, and designed to cause her to lose her reputation and status, and was finally kicked out of the house by her beloved, and even the child in her womb was lost. That's impossible!
Du Ruoyun faced everyone's puzzled looks, smiled slightly, and said to Mrs. An Guohou with some shame: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is now pregnant, and it is inconvenient to serve the world, so I feel ashamed, so I specially selected some virtuous and beautiful women as the maids of the world, and the daughter-in-law also thought that when she gave birth to a boy and a half girl in the future, she would be promoted to a concubine." But what the daughter-in-law never expected was that none of the innocent girls selected by the world could not look down on them, and he was still thinking about Sister Su in his heart, and the daughter-in-law thought, so the bitter is still the world, and the sad is still the mother, so the daughter-in-law dared to ask her mother, or let Sister Su come back, just live in the original courtyard, I remember that the world loves it very much. ”
When Su Daiyun heard this, she felt inexplicably moved in her heart, she didn't expect that Qin Xiao would not look at other women at all for her. She already knew that Qin Xiao had been staying outside the Hou Mansion for the past few days, and had never been to Du Ruoyun's place once, otherwise, she would not have returned to the Hou Mansion with Qin Xiao so happily, after all, she was so embarrassed when she left, and now she can't come back in style, why should she come back?
But even if there are no eight sedan chairs, no suona, no groups of servants, and no crowds, Su Daiyun still feels that the way she returned this time is still the most powerful, because she doesn't care about the above at all, only the stiff chest outside the carriage and the vigorous figure are her only reliance.
When Mrs. An Guohou heard this, she couldn't help but think of the fact that a few days ago, Du Ruoyun arranged for Qin Xiao to have a maid in the room, but Qin Xiao didn't face it at all, and her brows furrowed even tighter, she didn't find that as long as Du Ruoyun said every time Qin Xiao loved Su Daiyun, she would have more hatred for Su Daiyun. In her heart, she only wanted Su Daiyun to be a concubine, and she even felt that this was already the greatest tolerance for Su Daiyun, after all, she didn't think about letting her enter this door again in the first place, right?
In this group of people, only Qin Xiao frowned deeply when he heard Du Ruoyun's words, and he didn't know why, he didn't like Du Ruoyun's words very much. Although Du Ruoyun's words were all about persuading Mrs. An Guohou to welcome Su Daiyun in, Qin Xiao was very disgusted with Du Ruoyun's use of the Tongfang maid to talk about it, because it was as if he was comparing Su Daiyun with the Tongfang maid. Qin Xiao loves Su Daiyun so much, how can he tolerate others belittleing her so much?
hateful Du Ruoyun's words are not leaky, even if he smells the meaning of her words, he can't raise any questions. Island handsome woman rowing.
At this time, Du Ruoyun's hand stroking his belly suddenly paused, and the face that had always kept smiling suddenly swelled with a look of pain, although it disappeared in an instant, but Mrs. An Guohou, who had been staring at her intently, immediately found out, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her and said, "Ruoyun, how are you?" ”
Du Ruoyun shook his head, chuckled, and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." ”
Mrs. An Guohou now loves her children more than everything, and immediately said anxiously, "Why didn't you say it earlier when you were tired!" Come on, immediately send the young lady back to her room to rest! Then he was about to call someone to ask for a doctor, but Du Ruoyun stopped all this: "Mother, I'm fine, you don't have to ask them to work, the affairs of the world have not been resolved, Ruoyun can't go back." These words have a certain flavor of unswervingness.
When Mrs. An Guohou heard this, she stared at Du Ruoyun carefully for a while, until she was sure that she was indeed fine, and then she was relieved, but she still asked someone to bring a chair for Du Ruoyun to sit on.
After pacifying Du Ruoyun, Mrs. An Guohou turned her head to Qin Xiao and said: "Ruoyun, she is weak and can't stay outside for a long time, I will give you two choices, first, you will take Daiyun in, and you will have a good time in the future, I will never get involved with your affairs, but there is one thing, Daiyun she must be a concubine." Second, don't stay with either of you, the world is big, you see where you can stay, you take her away! Anyway, Ruoyun already has a child, and the Hou Mansion will not be extinct in any case, don't say that it is difficult for you to be a mother, I will give you two choices. What the hell, you just give me a happy word! ”
Qin Xiao has always watched coldly his mother's care and love for Du Ruoyun, but he was sad that Su Daiyun could not get the slightest favor from Mrs. An Guohou. He loves Su Daiyun, and of course he loves his mother, but these two people have never been able to respect each other, which is really a headache. As for whether Mrs. An Guohou favored Su Daiyun or not, Qin Xiao didn't care at all.
At this moment, Mrs. An Guohou's words, Qin Xiao's heart sank when he heard it, and he understood that his mother had made up her mind.
He glanced back at Su Daiyun, feeling a little troubled in his heart.
As a last resort, he decided not to choose to take Su Daiyun and the two of them away together, but if he chose to stay, Su Daiyun could only be a concubine, but he was extremely unwilling to let her suffer this grievance. How do you choose? On one side is the mother, on the other side is the person he loves deeply, this is called how he is good!
Du Ruoyun sat on the chair that Mrs. An Guohou ordered someone to move, and kept smiling at Qin Xiao who was in trouble, entangled, and her face was tangled, she felt very sorry for him, but she had to push him into this dilemma with her own hands, just because women are selfish and only seek their own happiness, others, who cares if she is dead or alive?
