Chapter 375: Who is the deserter
Fang Xu looked surprised, and raised his eyes to look at the old man standing at the door, "Old man? ”
The old man's body stiffened, he didn't dare to turn back at all, and his mouth was vague, "What nonsense, I don't know you at all!" ”
"Then why don't you dare turn around?" Granny Yuan stared at him closely, her eyes were full of anger, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out of between her teeth, "Meng Suzhou." ”
The old man's shoulders trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to lift his feet.
"Meng Suzhou, if you dare to make a move, I will order someone to blow up your prince's mansion!" Granny Yuan seemed to have guessed his movements, and spoke coldly, with an undisguised threat in her words.
The old man's body froze in place, and he really didn't dare to move.
"Dear...... The Prince's Palace? Fang Xu frowned, his eyes wandering over the two of them, his face full of question marks.
Hearing the word prince, Bai Ji and Ye Ming, who were standing behind, both changed their faces.
Bai Ji remembered that he was fighting with the prince last night, and his little face suddenly turned pale.
Ye Ming was even worse, he not only gave the prince a knife, but also scolded him twice when he got up early, but now that he thinks about it, he only feels that he is trembling and almost knelt on the ground.
"Husband... Madame......"
Fang Xu turned around and looked at the two people with pale faces, his brows furrowed, and he instantly understood their thoughts.
Throwing a slightly calm look at the two of them, reassuring them, he immediately looked back at Granny Yuan, and said softly, "Mother, what the hell is going on?" ”
Granny Yuan's face was pale, she sat on the chair angrily, pointed to the opposite side and raised her voice, "Let him say it himself, a good Prince Rong, why did he go to someone else's house to be a thief?" ”
Hearing this, Fang Xu turned his head abruptly and met Meng Suzhou's weak eyes, "Are you really Prince Rong?" ”
Meng Suzhou coughed lightly, his face embarrassed, "I'm not a thief......"
Fang Xu swept him up and down, feeling surprised, and muttered, "You are a prince, how can you fall to such a state?" ”
"What's wrong with the prince?" Meng Suzhou snorted coldly, and his tone was stiff, "Do you know what kind of boundary Dongluan is?" It's good to have a stutter, and you have to keep an eye on those exiled criminals all day long, and they are all bitter to death, where is it like the capital......"
"What are you doing talking about these useless things!"
Granny Yuan slapped the table and scareled the tall Meng Suzhou out of her double chin.
"Let me ask you, why did you become a deserter when you clearly said that you eloped!"
Granny Yuan's voice echoed in the room, Meng Suzhou's face turned white, and Fang Xu looked frightened, obviously not ready to eat melons.
Elope......
Deserter......
Fang Xu hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at the two of them again.
This is a royal secret, listen to it more, but you will lose your head.
"Mother......" Fang Xu looked up, rarely showing such a cautious look, "You haven't seen your friends for many years, you must have a lot to say, I will step back first, and it will not prevent you from catching up." ”
Granny Yuan looked at her, her face softened a little, and she nodded slightly.
Fang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and if he was amnesty, he hurriedly led Bai Ji and Ye Ming to retreat, and did not forget to clean up the family outside the door.
Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Meng Suzhou felt even more embarrassed, buried his head very low, and did not dare to say anything.
"Say," Granny Yuan stared at him, her eyes were like knives, and she was very sharp, "I made an appointment back then, but you suddenly regretted it, patted your ass and left, leaving me alone in the capital!" ”
"If it weren't for you...... How could I take the initiative to ask Ying to marry and go to the Northwest? ”
People are selfish, if there is a lover by their side, who wants to leave their homeland and gamble their lives on the future?
Meng Suzhou closed his eyes and sighed lightly, reluctant to speak.
Seeing that he couldn't beat a fart with eight rods, Granny Yuan clenched her cuffs, gritted her teeth and said, "The surname is Meng, after so many years, you are still annoying as always!" ”
"Marrying far away in the northwest, I don't blame you, I only hate myself for being blind, but I fell in love with you in a group of sons, and I made a mistake and ended up like this." Granny Yuan lowered her eyes and covered the tears under her eyes, "I knew this was the case, if I could do it all over again, I would rather never meet you when I was young." ”
"That's it, let's go." Granny Yuan turned her head sideways, and her voice was a little choked, "Don't appear in front of me in the future, you and I don't know each other." ”
Hearing this, Meng Suzhou's heart ached, he raised his eyes to look at her, and muttered, "I'm not a deserter......
Granny Yuan didn't hear clearly, and stared back at him, "What did you say?" ”
"I said, I'm not a deserter, and I've never thought of running away." Meng Suzhou's eyes were like torches, and his eyes were sincere, "Back then, you and I made love, and the northwest intended to marry, I wrote to ask for marriage, but the emperor refused, and in desperation, you and I thought of elopement." ”
"At that time, I had already packed my bags, it was your maid who leaked our secrets, and the emperor summoned me to the palace, and talked all night, saying that I was hired as a wife and a concubine, and angrily accused me of ruining your reputation."
Meng Suzhou seemed to have thought of something, frowned lightly, and said in a low voice, "I handed over most of the military power, knelt on the ground and begged him all night, and my head was broken in exchange for a word of grace." ”
Meng Suzhou tugged at the corners of his mouth, evoking a self-deprecating smile, "It was your father who personally promised that he would not send you to his relatives, and also approved our marriage, and the price was that I would guard the Dongluan border for him for five years, and during this period, you would not be matched." ”
"I was sent out of the palace in a hurry, and the emperor didn't even allow me to see you, so I had no choice but to go to Dongluan and write to you every day to relieve my lovesickness." Meng Suzhou raised his eyes to look at her, his expression was in a trance, "Who knows...... actually waited for the news of your marriage, prosperous red makeup, married the king of the northwest. ”
"I accept incompetence and a white head overnight." Meng Suzhou looked at her fixedly, and said in a deep voice, "Nianci, between you and me, who is the deserter?" ”
Granny Yuan's face was sluggish, and her back was cold, "How is it possible...... I never received any letters! ”
"That year, I went to the palace to look for you, but I was disappointed, and I waited for no result, only when you were a coward, my father came to see me, and I was relieved for a long time, and I had the idea of marrying to the northwest to share my father's worries."
Meng Suzhou turned his head away, staggered his gaze from her, and said in a muffled voice, "From the moment the news of the marriage came to the capital, the choice in your father's heart has always been you. ”
Granny Yuan was stunned for a long time, looking at him with silver hair, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Meng Suzhou lowered his eyes, unwilling to raise his head again, "Now that I have returned to the capital, I see that everything is fine with you, and I can't bother, so I will leave first." ”
After that, Meng Suzhou turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop."
Meng Suzhou's footsteps froze in place, turned his head sideways, didn't speak, just stared at her.
Granny Yuan looked at him and asked in a trembling voice, "Since you have a hard heart, why don't you dare to recognize me?" ”
Meng Suzhou turned around, leaving her with only a back, and said in a deep voice, "Nianci, I have changed, rather than this, it is better to live in your memory as when I was young." ”
