Breaking off the engagement is like a slap in the face. Everyone at home couldn’t believe their ears.
Someone has just died in the prince's house. If he wants to postpone the wedding, it is understandable, but how can he just give it up
Ru had been looking forward to getting married for many days, but when she suddenly found out about this, she fainted.
There are different opinions on the matter of breaking off the engagement. No one knows the inside story. Ru, who had always been calm, hid in the house and cried for several days, no matter how her mother tried to comfort her, it didn't work.
Song Luan learned that his son's marriage was in trouble again, so he asked someone to call him to come to him, wanting to have a chat with him.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhao Shi's figure looked a little thinner, his robes were a little empty, and the sunlight above his head reflected on his pale cheeks, making his complexion pale.
Song Luan frowned, "Tell me, why did you cancel the marriage?"
Zhao Shi replied warmly, "It's not appropriate."
Song Luan had such a bad temper that he became angry after hearing these three words, "So when you got engaged to her, didn't you feel it was inappropriate?"
The corners of Zhao Shi's lips pursed into a thin line, and he fell silent.
Song Luan was very fond of the sweet and soft-spoken girl from her family. She had a decent appearance, a good temper, and was shy and timid, but she spoke sweetly. She felt that she was very compatible with her.
Song Luan hadn't spoken to him in such a serious tone in how many years, "I never care about your affairs, nor will I force you to do anything. Since you like her, you have paid a betrothal gift to marry her." How can a person say that he regrets? She will also feel sad."
Zhao Shi laughed bitterly, not knowing how to explain to his mother that she thought the girls were not the same.
"The engagement has been broken off. You can scold me if you want."
"I want to scold you!" Song Luan sighed, "You like her, and she also likes you. What are you fussing over?"
"Don't I stop talking. She is still pregnant with the child. Do you even want your own child ?"
Zhao Shian lowered his head quietly, slowly clenched his palms into fists, and squeezed out a few words from his throat: "No more."
No more.
What's missing
Song Luan was startled after hearing these words. She rarely saw her son's expression like this. His eyes were deep and dark, his face had no emotion, and he was cold and indifferent. Vaguely sad.
"What's wrong with you?"
Song Luan looked at him helplessly, why was he still wronged
Zhao Shi shook his head, "Mother, I'm fine."
Song Luan originally wanted to say that you didn't look like you were okay, but he swallowed the words. In fact, as the child grows older, he is quite estranged from her, so he may not tell her what he thinks.
"Think about it again, marriage is not a trivial matter."
"Yes. Father said so too."
"Don't listen to him, he won't say anything." Song Luan shook off his displeasure and continued, "I won't force you to marry someone you don't want to marry, but you can't Irresponsible, you always have to take care of your children."
Zhao Shi was silent for a long time, struggling to pull the corners of his mouth, his smile was a bit ugly, his throat was sore and juice was coming out, he choked and spit out the word "um".
Song Luan saw that he looked really unhappy, and he was unwilling to say any more words of rebuke. What he should say was plain, and other matters were left to him to do as he pleased.
"You should pay attention to your health. I see you have lost weight."
"."
Zhao Shi walked from her mother's residence and stood straight on the long steps. The scorching sun above his head made him dizzy. He raised his hand in front of her and stabbed her. The light leaked through the gaps between his fingers. He blinked his sore eyes, which were dry and stinging.
Walking through the main palace gate, Zhao Xin held up her skirt and ran up to him. Her rabbit eyes were very focused, "Zhuzhu is still pregnant?"
The knife penetrated Zhao Shi's soft flesh by an inch. His face turned horribly pale, and his voice was almost inaudible, "Yes."
Zhao Xin leaned her body up, and when the palace maid supported her in time, she burst into tears, like beads falling continuously. She did not expect that she was so respectful and respectful. I'm afraid that my eldest brother would be so cruel.
She cried with tears all over her face. She knew that Zhu was burned to death by fire, but she didn't believe that it happened by such a coincidence.
"It doesn't matter that you don't want to hold a funeral for her, don't you want to find out who killed her?"
Zhao Shi wanted to laugh after hearing this, but he still couldn't. He asked hoarsely, "Who harmed her?"
The man's dark and deep eyes were glaring with bloodshot eyes, and he was filled with hatred to the extreme.
Zhao Xin was afraid of what he would look like, so she kept silent.
Zhao Shi said to the maid next to her: "Don't let me run around, and don't let me hear some nonsense rumors."
Zhao Xin was angry and frightened, and kept talking in front of her. Although the lady was uneasy, what she said was true.
is a black liver person.
She said, "Don't worry about me. My son, I will go to the temple and ask Master Zhu to save Sister Zhu and her miserable child."
Fortunately, she used to think that her brother liked Zhu Zhu very much, but now he wouldn't even do such a simple thing for Zhu Zhu.
She was also considered a half-friend, and I couldn't bear to let her do this.
Zhao Shi was not polite to her, so he called Wei Liu over and said angrily: "Look at her, she dares to go to the palace, lock her up."
Zhao Xin was about to be pissed to death, "If I were a ghost, I wouldn't let you go! She and Wei Chi are a perfect match."
"What are you doing! Let me go! I'm so angry!"
"I'm going to complain to my father! You said you bullied me!"
When Zhao Xin was taken away, she kept chattering and cursing.
Zhao Shi's face was expressionless. After listening, he would not let him go even if he was a ghost
That's what he wanted.
But she refused to enter his dream.
The few times I accidentally dreamed of him, I saw her die in front of him again and again. I tortured him over and over again, dug him up, cut him into pieces, and looked at his face. The pain was so painful that he was twisted and ferocious. He knelt on his knees and his voice sounded like a dying scream.
Those scattered dreams are nightmares.
Either he was burned by fire, or he was pierced by thousands of arrows. There was no way he could escape his relationship with him.
He handed over the arrow, and he gave the death order himself.
Zhao Shi came to his senses and left the palace.
The Prince's Mansion was like a pool of stagnant water, completely quiet.
Manager Lin had secretly asked someone to make a memorial tablet for the pearl, but somehow His Highness the Crown Prince discovered it.
Manager Lin watched His Highness the Prince throw the black wooden tablet with white characters into the brazier and burn it to ashes.
He bowed his head and shook his body into a sieve, and said twice to commit sin.
Fortunately, the child's memorial tablet has not been made yet, otherwise if His Highness the Crown Prince saw it, he, the steward, would not be able to escape punishment.
It's pitiful to see such a small child, dead without even a name.
His Royal Highness, life is still as usual. No one mentions the fire again, as if everyone has forgotten it.
One month later, the palace chief craftsman sent a box, saying that His Highness the Prince had previously ordered them to make silver jewelry.
Manager Lin delivered the exquisite treasure box to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Zhao Shi had been reviewing the memorial for a whole day and felt dizzy. He casually opened the treasure box and found a pair of exquisitely crafted silver necklaces lying in front of him.
His heart shrank suddenly, and his thin white fingers trembled.
The man smiled and came to receive the credit: "Your Highness, these silver necklaces are complicated to make and have taken so long."
Zhao Shi closed the treasure box with force, put his hands on the table, his knuckles turned white, and said, "Get down."
"If you feel it's not enough, slaves can let them..."
"No need." Zhao Shi interrupted him with a white face, his voice unsteady when he spoke.
Before this man left, he was still a little worried. He couldn't put it down and asked Manager Lin, "Did His Highness the Crown Prince piss us off?"
Manager Lin asked, "What are you here to give me today?"
"The silver collar was ordered by His Highness himself."
Manager Lin slapped his leg, "Aren't you asking for your own death?"
"But that silver necklace is very nice."
Manager Lin scolded him repeatedly and was too lazy to scold him. The prince's child has passed the exam. Isn't this intentional to cause trouble
Zhao Shi put the child in a silver collar and put it away properly, locked it up, and was covered in cold sweat.
…
At this time, Zhu and Hongling had already settled in Yangzhou.
She bought a detached house with a banknote. Hong Ling's eyes widened when she saw her touching the banknote from her pocket.
I never thought she was so rich!
The two of them worked hard for a long time and decorated the house a little, making it barely livable.
Hong Ling collapsed on the bed and asked in surprise: "Where did you get so much money?"
Zhu said casually: "I got it from a dog man."
Hong Ling had never seen so much money in her life. She swallowed her saliva and said, "It seems that the bad guy is quite rich."
Zhu nodded, "My family is rich."
Hongling sat up, looked at her belly, and thought, "When your child grows up, you can let your child grab him." family property."
Zhu was amused, and gently stroked her belly with her palms, "My husband said she is a little girl."
"Ah" Hong Ling was discouraged, "Girl, forget it, it's too tiring to rob the family property."
Zhu has become more and more affectionate towards this child these days. She said, "It doesn't matter, I can raise her."
"We can't just sit there and have nothing, right?" Hong Ling told her in advance, "I walk around the world, and my shoes will definitely get wet when I often walk by the river. Maybe one day I will be caught by the government and I won't be able to raise her for too long. .”
Zhu smiled and said, "Can't you wash your hands in a golden basin?"
"No, I can't do it either."
"I know a lot. After a few days of rest, we will think about what kind of shop is better to open."
"I don't think you're weak, but you're pretty respectable."
Zhu lowered her head and smiled shyly. During those days when she was imprisoned in Zhaoshi Hospital, she imagined the days of escaping thousands of times in her mind.
Hongling looked at her and said her mouth was dry. She stood up and poured her a glass of water, while asking: "Zhuzhu, are you going back to the capital in the future?"
No matter how prosperous Yangzhou is, it is not as prosperous as the capital city.
Zhu took a sip of warm water, moistened her throat, lowered her head, her expression was gentle and gentle, and she told Hong Ling in a brisk tone: "I will never go back in this life."
A dead person shouldn't be in the capital now.
