Looking at her father, Rong Zhao suddenly felt a sour, astringent taste in her heart, and the last look left by her father in the previous life came to her mind, full of disappointment, determination, and indifference that she had never seen.

It was that look, and in the days that followed, she always saw it in the middle of the night, and sometimes she would wake up crying, and call him in a whisper, but no one could respond to her in the empty palace except for her echo.

That memory has been repeated for a long time, but it is so clear.

Sometimes Rong Zhao really hopes that the kind of memory that makes her heart ache is just a dream of hers, and she doesn't even want to experience it.

Returning to his senses, Rong Zhao raised a smile, and his delicate voice was like a spring water, "Daddy really underestimated me, it's just a verse, what's the difficulty?"

"Okay, it's my dad who underestimated you, my Zhaozhao has grown up and knows everything. "Marquis Rong's love for Rong Zhao is beyond words, and he can't wait for everything his daughter says is right.

It's just that when he said this, the expression on his face condensed slightly, and he looked at Rong Zhao seriously and said: "I will be sixteen after the New Year, and my father is reluctant to do so, and you will get married in a year or two." ”

"Dad-" Rong Zhao's nose was choked, his face flushed slightly, and he became shy.

Marquis Rong patted her hand with his generous palm, "Girls are going to marry when they are older, do you still want to stay by your father's side for the rest of your life?"

Rong Zhao's eyes flashed a hint of moistness, "I don't want to get married, I will stay by my father's side for the rest of my life." Her throat and eyes were faintly choked, and she also joked and said with a smile: "Does Dad dislike me? Afraid that I will eat too much and empty the Hou Mansion? ”

Marquis Rong really couldn't do anything about her, so he smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile: "With your small body, you still want to sit on the Hou Mansion and eat the mountain? Even ten of your fathers can afford it." ”

"That's it, Dad, you are ready to raise me for the rest of my life. ”

"Okay, my father raises me, and I'm not worried about my daughter marrying someone else. ”

"It's just that there is no better man in this world than Dad. ”

The two of them talked all the way, and Marquis Rong directly sent Rong Zhao back to Qiwu Tower, and sat for a while before returning to the front yard to do errands.

Looking at his departing back, the smile on Rong Zhao's face slowly faded as he disappeared, and in the end, only a silent sigh was left in his heart.

In his father's heart, she is the most innocent and pure pearl in his heart, even if she is arrogant and domineering, she is still simple-minded. But he didn't know that her pearl had long been dusted, and in turn she would use him to achieve his own goals.

Marquis Rong was going back to the study, but his mind always returned to what *'er had just said, and he involuntarily turned around and went to Gao's place.

The Gao family was angry because of today's incident in Hengdui Courtyard, and was taking Aunt Qin and Rong Wan to vent, but he didn't expect that Hou Ye would pass over at this time. As soon as he heard that the maid was coming, he immediately called the kneeling Aunt Qin's mother and daughter to get up, and warned them not to talk much, so they tidied up their appearance and went out to greet each other.

Before she went out, Marquis Rong had already opened the curtain and came in, and she didn't expect that Aunt Qin and Rong Wan were also here, so she was slightly stunned.

Gao hurriedly said: "I want to embroider a pattern, and I know that Aunt Qin's embroidery is good, so I ask her to give me some advice." She was very caring, and took off her clothes for Marquis Rong and shook the snow on it.

"The concubine is clumsy, where can she dare to be called a guide, Mrs. has raised the concubine. Aunt Qin followed her words and blessed the Marquis Rong, she kept her head down, and her voice was very gentle. Knowing that it would be in the way of Madame's eyes if he and Rong Wan stayed any longer, he retired, "Since Madame has learned, then the concubine and Ah Wan will retreat first." ”

Gao Shi let out a "hmm", his expression was very perfunctory, obviously anxious to let them leave quickly.

Marquis Rong pressed Aunt Qin's shoulder, saw that her body was thin, and said with concern: "It's cold these days, add more clothes." Aunt Qin had a desire to let men protect her, and when I saw pity, he paused, "Go back first, I'll go to you at night." ”

Gao's smile instantly fell to the freezing point, glaring at Aunt Qin fiercely, but when Marquis Rong turned his head to look at her, he quickly retracted, and put on the gentleness she had always held, without the slightest trace of dissatisfaction.

After Aunt Qin and Rong Wan left, the Gao family changed into a regular dress for Rong Hou Ye and brought a bowl of hot cheese, "Hou Ye only knows how to care about others, hurry up and drink something hot to warm up." ”

Marquis Rong smiled lightly, tasted a few sips, and said, "Very good, your skills have grown more and more." He put down the cheese and pulled Gao to sit beside him, "What's the matter? I care about Aunt Qin, and you're jealous?"

The relationship between the Gao family and the Marquis Rong is not bad, although it is not as affectionate as Rong Zhao's mother, who is married to a married couple, but it is also close to each other. Besides, Gao is ten years younger than him, and he has always loved her.

"How can I be? Do you think I'm such a stingy person?" Looking at the gentle man beside him looking at him with a smile, Gao's face was dyed with a layer of shy red. is different from being dignified in front of outsiders, in front of her husband, being a wife will naturally show such a look.

Marquis Rong is a very rare beautiful man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, even if he has reached the age of not being confused, he still has an excellent appearance and is full of charm.

Back then, Gao's eyes were higher than the top, and none of the sons and brothers in Changge City looked down on him, but he fell in love at first sight, and he was willing to marry a stepfamily.

After so many years, although he has had fine lines, every time they are together, they still feel like their heartbeats when they were young.

Just thinking that he would go to Aunt Qin at night, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.

Marquis Rong's smile was as gentle as spring, holding her shoulder, and joking, "How can I feel a sense of loss when you say this, as if I haven't been taken seriously." ”

Gao Shi only felt funny, tilted his head on his shoulder, smiled, and said gently: "Then if you want to say that, I want you to accompany me tonight, and you are not allowed to go to Aunt Qin." ”

Marquis Rong didn't enter Aunt Qin's room many times a month, most of the time was in the Gao family, but she was still insufficient, and she just wanted to occupy him alone.

Although it seems like a coquette, that's what she thinks in her heart.

Marquis Rong didn't hear it, he just laughed and teased: "Just now you said that you weren't stingy, so you slapped yourself in the mouth." ”

He didn't forget the purpose of this trip, and after laughing for a while, he came to today's matter, "Don't worry about the old lady today, she also has good intentions." When the third brother comes back, it is really hard for you to bear this big family alone. ”

She knew that Hou Ye must have abducted her here because of something about the old lady, Gao said: "Of course I know that the old lady is afraid that I will be too tired, so she wants to find someone to share with me." ”

She didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly: "But Master Hou, you also know that my second brother and sister are already at odds, and if I share it with her, I don't know how many things will happen." ”

"As for the third brother and sister, she is not from a high background, where can she handle the affairs of a mansion as big as ours, and she is away all the year round, and she doesn't know anything about the affairs of the house. That's not about getting more and more helpful. ”
